Paimon

Nope.

That is very close to the actual symbol in demonology for Paimon.

Except instead of three, there's four.

But they didn't use the real one because it's considered bad luck.

What? Defenestration means to throw out of a window.

Oh, I forgot about that.

How do you forget about that? That's when Paimon becomes...

Oh!

We can talk a bit about that.

What is Paimon?

Yes.

Paimon is a creation of Celestia that was also existing during the Kainrian War.

Which is interesting.

Very interesting.

We're basically confirming she's not

Asmodeus.

A name can change in copying.

Bael can become Bael, Paimon can become Paimon, Gusion can become Gusoin, Vul can become Wal, and Kemejes can become Kemeris.

Such variations are ordinary features of translation and manuscript transmission.

A seal functions differently.

Um, but a lot of the other spirits in the Goetia are actually very connectable to ancient gods.

Many of them, um, from Beleth, especially Paimon, um, Andromalius.

A lot of these spirits are directly connectable to other.

And if you wanna learn about [laughs] who we connected it to, by all means, grit your- get yourself a copy of this book.

I should have.

Oh, my God.

But at the same time, like.

I know

oh it's it's it sounds like people are in the bottom

yeah like you hear like you hear like you're slapping yeah like feet walking and you see the lights like the the motion lights yes and then when that light goes on you see her better up there yeah and that's why and i i remember a lot of people were like Like, in the movies, like, freaking out.

Like, the whole theater was like, oh, my God.

And you missed it.

And this part was transmitted into Lucidario, then into Heptameron, from in this form or another it reproduced in the different rumors so this is what we know about these drones but it's a part of cosmo cosmology of ganels and probably of this magician master solomon maybe other other his students and the circle of magicians of that time.

And I think what's really fascinating for me specifically is that we see the four cardinal kings, Oriens, Emaemon, Paemon and Aegyn here as well, they're part of this overall structure, right?

Yes, in this structure, three principal demons like Lucifer or Lucifiel as he calls him sometimes Beelzebub and Satan they are principal not even kings but principalities of underworld and they have their own kings Hello,

it is Ryan, and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we? Just to make up for things like sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know, all the mundane stuff.

It is associated with WIRE's textual project, but later transmission involved editors, translators and readers who carried the material into settings far removed from WIRE's critical purpose.

The catalogue lists 69 spirits, including Bael, Agares, Marbas, Amen, Barbetos, Bua, Paimon, Belial, Stolas, Andras and Balam.

Each entry assigns a title, rank, appearance, office or supposed ability.

Spirits appear as kings, princes, dukes, marquises, presidents, earls and knights.

The famous first section, the Ars Goetia, describes 72 spirits.

It assigns them names, ranks, appearances, offices, and in many versions, individual seals.

Familiar entries include Baal, Agares, Vassago, Paimon, Bua, Astaroth, Asmodei, Belial, Stolas, Dantalion, and Andromalius.

The Ars Goetia did not create all of these figures.

And I'm not saying you should have done like a full-blown CGI monster, but they could have definitely dug into it a little bit deeper.

If you recall like Hereditary, Paimon, same thing.

That's like a real... demon from demonology right um and even paimon like they showed certain parts of it but even if they would if they didn't want to do that with this one right um just those writings and and those illustrations that they showed from history books in hereditary would have impacted this movie i think it would have helped out they showed nothing you know what i mean like I don't know.

I really wish they would have gotten into the history of it because, you know, it's from the Mediterranean.

In the Petit Albert, he is said to assist in battles and in the overcoming of enemies, whether literal or metaphorical.

Then we have Paimon, a demon of great knowledge and wisdom.

Paimon is called upon in the Petit Albert for intellectual pursuits, particularly when seeking knowledge in science or philosophy.

He is also associated with wealth and material success.

Next, Lucifer Though often seen as the embodiment of pure evil in Christian theology, Lucifer in the Petit Albert is depicted more as an agent of enlightenment and empowerment, invoked to bring personal illumination and a sense of control over one's destiny.

The Munich Handbook provides descriptions of specific demons and their attributes, which are used to guide the practitioner in summoning the correct entity for their needs.

Each demon is associated with certain domains, such as wealth, love, or knowledge, and the practitioner is advised to choose the appropriate spirit based on their desired outcome.

The demons invoked in the Munich Handbook are often those commonly found in other grimoires, such as Adamo Deus, Baal, Lucifer, and Paimon.

It's still going strong.

It's going real strong because we just got, just like five days before recording this, the 7.0 update for Genshin Impact, which is a momentous one because it is the update that brings the Traveler and Paimon to Sejnaya, which is the vaguely Russia, not vaguely Russia, very Russia update.

based nation that is the seventh of the nations sort of outlined the original kind of plan of Genshin Impact way back before the game came out where they released that trailer that was like all the different chapters of the game leading to Snezhnaya.

Last year, they sort of snuck an extra chapter in there, which is Nod Cry, which is this kind of borderland between the kind of other nations of Tewat and Snezhnaya.

And the way the story I think navigates those problems as you meet these different characters, see their interests and the traveler kind of trying to figure out what path to walk.

I think it's just a really, really fascinating story.

One of the other things with it is that you have, of course, Paimon, who is your companion character who's been with you the whole story for the whole game.

Just a great character.
