Системная демонология

An attempt to gather Western demonology into a unified system—not as a collection of terrifying names, but as a map of the forces that prevent humans from understanding themselves and the world. Since ancient times, people have noticed that knowledge does not proceed entirely smoothly: certain causes and forces actively resist it. "Systematic Demonology" draws on the classical grimoire approach, collected and developed by Enmerkar in the three-volume "New Lemegeton," and clearly demonstrates the internal logic, connections, and hierarchy of these forces.

At its core is an infernal hierarchy of 72 demons, headed by nine Kings. Each King expresses a fundamental "sin"—not as an offense requiring punishment, but as a destructive quality and a way of introducing it into consciousness: Repulsion becomes Wrath, Attraction becomes Greed, Equilibrium becomes Ignorance. Subordinate demons reveal individual facets of their King.

The 72 Genii of the Shemhamphorash correspond to the Demons—the divided name of God, forms of the presence of Divine Light in the World and consciousness. Transforming the squares of demons into squares of Genii is a way to correct distorted matrices of consciousness, a method dating back to the Kabbalist Abraham Abulafia and developed by Enmerkar.

Around this core lies an entire corpus of Western esoteric traditions:
— Mythology: mystical-philosophical, alchemical, astrological, mantic, and magical teachings;
— Demons and Genii: 72 + 72 entities with attributes, connections, and mutual influences;
— Deadly Sins: the nine Kings and the logic of the infernal hierarchy;
— Boundaries, or horizons of consciousness: the boundary between the knowable and that which is already chaotic and unpredictable;
— Kabbalah: The Tree of Life and the Sephiroth, the Qliphoth, the seven planets of the Chaldean order, the twelve signs of the zodiac, and Hebrew as a classifier of knowledge;
— the four elements and human nature.

Whether you consider demons to be materially existing, a fantasy of medieval fanatics, part of the psyche, or fallen angels, it's difficult not to notice the presence of forces that actively resist awareness and development. For a practitioner ascending the Tree of Life, encountering them at some point is inevitable; the app provides a map of this path and its obstacles.

This will be of interest to those studying Western esotericism, Kabbalah, the grimoire tradition, and the psychology of knowledge—practitioners, researchers, and the simply curious.

It should be noted that this is the author's systematization, not the ultimate objective truth. The approach largely follows the New Lemegeton, and any part of it can be argued with—that is the point of the map: to make the complex visible and debatable.
