Yes, and we find his philosophy to be servile and counter to human nature. We do not believe in this mythical figure and caution you to keep your beliefs in such legends to yourself.
Q: I am a Christian and feel that I need to tell you about the Lord because you are all going to Hell.
“Judge not lest you be judged.” Remember your “savior’s” words?
We trust you are praying to your God for forgiveness, as you certainly aren’t living up to the tenets of Christianity. Do you remember the dictum “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you”? Well, is it that you want strangers to send you hateful email out of the blue, as you have done to us?
You are clearly committing a sin by your own standards by this action, and if you don’t get it forgiven, it may be one of the many which bar your entry into the Heaven in which you believe.
Your bigotry and intolerance are exactly the same as that shown by the terrorists who kill those who do not share their beliefs. The free world of rational secular individuals is tired of people like you. You will reap as you have sown.
Signes et Caracteres des Espirits, “Le Dragon Rouge” (Le Grand Grimoire), 1522.
The Grand Grimoire is a black magic grimoire. Different editions date the book to 1521, 1522 or 1421, but it was probably written in the early 19th century. It was authored by someone named Antonia Venitiana del Rabina who supposedly gathered this information from original writings of King Solomon. Also known as “The Red Dragon”, this book contains instructions purported to summon Lucifer or Lucifuge Rofocale, for the purpose of forming a Deal with the Devil. The book is called “Le Veritable Dragon Rouge” (“The True Red Dragon”) in Haiti, where it is revered among many practitioners of Voodoo. It is claimed they were placed under King Solomon’s throne by the Devil to tempt him. The work is divided into two books. The first book contains instructions for summoning a Demon and for the construction of tools with which to force the Demon to do ones bidding. The second book is further divided into two parts: the Sanctum Regnum and Secrets, de L’Art Magique du Grand Grimoire (“Secrets, of the magic art of the Grand Grimoire”). The Sactum Regnum contain instructions for making a pact with the Demon, allowing one to command the Spirit without the tools required in book one, but at greater risk. “Secrets” contains simpler Spells and Rituals one can employ after having performed the Ritual in the first book. Some editions contain a short text between these two parts, Le Secret Magique, où le Grand Art de pouvoir parler aux Morts (“The Magic Secret, or the Grand Art of being able to speaking with the Dead”), dealing with Necromancy.
From: Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy: DICTIONNAIRE INFERNAL, Paris, 1863, p. 280-281.
The “Dictionnaire Infernal” (English: “Infernal Dictionary”) is a book on demonology, describing demons organised in hierarchies. It was written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy and first published in 1818. There were several editions of the book; perhaps the most famous is the 1863 edition, which included sixty-nine illustrations by Louis Le Breton depicting the appearances of several of the demons. Many but not all of these images were later used in S. L. MacGregor Mathers’s edition of “The Lesser Key of Solomon”. (wikipedia)
“Sandalphon (“co-brother’) was originally the prophet Elias (Elijah). In rabbinic lore, Sandalphon is one of the
great sarim (angelic princes), twin brother of Metatron, master (hazzan) of heavenly song.
Exceeding Hadraniel in height by a 500-year foot
journey, he is regarded as one of the tallest
hierarchs in the celestial realms – Moses, sighting
him in the 3rd Heaven, called him “the tall angel.”
Talmud Hagiga 13b says his head reaches Heaven
(which was said also of Israfel and of the Greek
giant Typhon).
In Mathers edition of “The Greater Key of
Solomon”, Sandalphon is designated “the left-hand
feminine cherub of the ark.”
In the liturgy for the
Feast of Tabernacles, he is credited with gathering
the prayers of the faithful, making a garland of
such prayers, and then “adjuring them to ascend as
an orb to the supreme King of Kings.”
In 3 Enoch,
Sandalphon is described as ruler of the 6th Heaven
(makon) but, in The Zohar (Exodus 202b), he is
“chief of the 7th Heaven.”
According to Islamic
lore, he dwells in the 4th Heaven. As is reported
of Michael, he carries on ceaseless combat with
the apparently indestructible Samael (Satan),
prince of evil.
The ancient sages identified Sandalphon
with Ophan (q.v.). He is said also, by cabalists, to
be instrumental in bringing about the differentiation of sex in the embryo.”
– From “A Dictionary of Angels, Including the Fallen Angels” by Gustav Davidson (1967).
The bust of Sandalphon is by Florence Freeman. The image of Sandalphon is simply a diagram of the magnetosphere rotated by 90 degrees.
“Quantum Weirdness [physicist Carlo] Rovelli had shown that quantum mechanics seems bat-shit crazy as long as we assume the existence of a single reality shared by multiple observers. Give up that notion and all the quantum weirdness begins to make perfect, non-spooky sense. We can dissolve the problem of the second observer by embracing the cosmic solipsism that physics demands.”
