  • THE NATURE and POWER of SATAN Theorizing About the Nature
    CHAPTER THREE THE NATURE AND POWER OF SATAN Theorizing about the nature, origin, and cosmological status of Satan occurs among the selected writings, especially among the later ones. However, there is an obvious lack of "speculative" interest in the sense of seeking to work out a complete cosmology of evil. Concepts as to the origin, abode, and ultimate future of Satan are often very diverse, and there are only a small number of referen­ ces. An analysis and interpretation of the nature of Satan as conceiv­ ed by the early Christian tradition will be therefore necessarily less comprehensive than a discussion of his activities. There are some basic understandings as to the nature and power of Satan common to most of the selected writers, however, and they are best summarized by the New Testament phrases: Satan, the "prince of the power of the air," "ruler of demons," "ruler of the world," and "god of this age." A. SATAN: PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR 1. Origin of Satan For the most part, the New Testament writers make no theoreti­ cal assertions as to the origin of Satan. However, a number of passages by choice of words and phraseology seem to reflect the idea of Satan as a fallen angel who is chief among a class of fallen angels, an idea which appears frequently in apocalyptic literature.1 II Peter 2 :4, for example, refers to the angels that sinned and were cast into hell. Jude 6 mentions "the angels that did not keep their own position but left their proper dwelling ..

  • The Devil, the World and the Flesh
    THE DEVIL, THE WORLD AXD THE FLESH BY maxi:milian rudwin rHE Devil, tlic zvorld and tJic flesh are linked together in the phraseology of the baptismal formula. The world, as well as the flesh, is thus definitel}- associated with the Devil in the Christian religion. Although not explicitly stated in the creed of any sect, Protestants as well as Catholics consider the material world, in contrast wdth the spiritual realm, a diabolical work. The fact is that the Devil is commonl}- credited with the creation of the cosmos. There is much significance in this often mentioned saying, which is well worth historical analysis. As a rule, popular phrases have a good deal of meaning for the investigator. Under the guise of a figure of speech there is ps>"chological value, regardless of whether or not serious belief is given to such conceptions, inasmuch as this is a discussion in terminolog)* rather than theology. THE DEVIL AS MASTER OF FLATTER The belief in the world as a diabolical work can be traced back to L-anian-Persian teachings. Tn the Zend-Avesta we find that the Devil created the evil part of the world in contradistinction to the good part fashioned by the Deity. The Jews, who obtained their notion of the Devil from the Persians, rejected the theory of a dual creation. In the Old Testament the Lord is represented as the maker of the material as well as of the spiritual world, of darkness as well as of light. In the New Testament, however, the Devil's power over this world is strongly emphasized.

  • The Devil's Death. the Priests Wail When the News of the Devil's Demise Reaches Them
    — THE DENIL'S DEATH BY MAXIMILIAN' RUDWIX IT has been reported from various places at various periods that the Devil is dead.' Scotland, among other European countries, claims to possess his tomb. A Scotch song says: "The Devil is dead and buried at Kirkcaldy." Beelzebub is believed to be buried in Brittany. When slain by St. ^Michael, according to an old tradi- tion among the fisher-folk of the Breton coast, he was buried by the Archangel under the mountain which faces ]\Iont St. Michel, and which is, therefore, called Tombelaine "Tiimba Beleni, the tomb of Belenus, Belus, Bel, Belial, Beelzebub" (X'ictor Hugo: Quatre-vingt-trcize, HI. ii. 1 j- The demon Saracen must have died at a certain period in the past, for in the novel, Tristan le Roiix (1850), by Dumas fils, he is evoked from the dead. Bvit his resur- rection is not of long duration. In the end, his human ally once more inflicts upon him such death as he must suffer, and he is again buried at Poitiers, the site of his original tomb. Jean-Pierre Beranger, the popular French song-writer, in his satirical poem, "la IMort du Diable" (1828), gives a new and novel turn to the old legend of the death of the Devil. He is not concerned with the demise of the high and mighty personage, but with the efifect it had on the conduct of the Catholic clerg\'. This song is a satirical attack upon Satan's supposed successors among the monks. ^ The Devil's death forms the subject of the story, "The Devil and the Old Man" (1905), by John Masefield, reprinted in the present writer's anthology of Dcz'il Stories (1921).

  • Major Arcana the Following Is the Journey of the Major Arcana
    The Major Arcana The following is the journey of the Major Arcana. We are going to go through them briefly together, but it is also super essential you spend time with this journey over the next week! This course is taught from the Angel Tarot, and you can use the Angel Tarot, or the Archangel Power Tarot, both by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine. Of course this information can be applied to any card deck! The Major Arcana in general are some very powerful cards! In general they hold greater weight and meaning than the “minor arcana” (which are the other suites that will be discussed). They are also referred to as the trump cards and are the foundational piece of the Tarot deck. They make up the first 21 cards in the deck, and tell a really beautiful story. They are representative of a path to spiritual self awareness and unveil the different stages of life as we move thorough our path. They all hold very deep meaningful lessons. The recording in this week goes through those, and it is also important you listen to your own heart in what they mean to you. If a lot of Major Arcana appear, pay attention to two main points: 1. The person you are reading for may be going through some big life changes. 2. The more that appear the less free will and choice that person may have (but of course there is ALWAYS free will and choice). The Major Arcana cards are all numbered, and in the Angel Tarot are associated with an Angel.

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2001 Reading the Emotions of Salome: Sympathy for the Devil or Fear and Loathing Diane Hoeveler Marquette University, [email protected] Published Version. Prism(s): Essays in Romanticism, Vol. 9 (2001): 87-108. © 2001 International Conference on Romanticism. Used With Permission. A Reading of the Emotions of Salome: Sympathy for the Devil, or Fear and Loathing Diane Long Hoeveler n October 1876 Gustave Flaubert was engaged in writing what I would become perhaps his most well-known and successful piece of short fiction, "A Simple Heart." This narrative dissects the life of an innocent servant woman, ironically named Felicity, who rransfers her love and spiritual devotion from object to object until she finally settles, afrer life's many disappointments, on a stuffed and tattered parrot as the incarnation of her god of love. The horror of Flaubert's story can be located in his dark and cynical portrayal of love and spiritual devotion as a form of fetishism, a mad scramble for apparently random substitute objects to compensate for the original wound in the psyche, the primor­ dial fall we all supposedly make from a sense of original wholeness and self-sufficiency within the individual ego into psychic fragmentation. Felicity's pathetic stuffed parrot functions as a fetish, while fetishism-or the displacement of the sexual object by a metonymic substitute-stands in Flaubert as the originating source of both love and religious worship. 1 88 Diane Long Hoeveh Although often considered the exact opposite of a "romantic" work, Flaubert's tale is important as an example of what I would call the "post­ romantic residue," the reaction against romanticism that lingered in nineteenth-century literary culture, on the continent as well as in Britain.

  • Satan and the Powers
    Satan and the Powers In apocalyptic writings we meet a cast of fallen characters—Satan, demons, and other nefarious beings—that indicate spiritual realities, earthly officeholders, or structures of power.

  • The Devil in Legend and Literature
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenSIUC THE DEVIL IN LEGEND AND LITERATURE ALLEN H. GODBEY, PH.D. DR. RUDWIN has written half a dozen earHer "devil studies" in the past twenty years, dealing chiefly with the use made of the devil in French and German literature. The present volume is primarily a study of "fiendish" elements in the literatures of England, France, and Germany : more narrowly, of their modern literatures. For the devil that Dr. Rudwin would have us consider is a product of the fusion of and conflict of medieval Christianity with pagan divinities and Jewish spooks and dethroned godlings of high and low degree. For devils, historically speaking, are often gods who have lost their jobs: deities sometimes proscribed because they are too popular! The element of political or tribal or eccle- siastical jealousy may be a prominent factor. "Your god is my devil," said Wesley to a theological opponent. The Pahlevi and the Sanscrit are two branches of one language and culture. But the Hindu, like the Roman, declared that divs or devas were the powers to be worshiped, and that the Asuras of the Northern peo- ples were "devils" indeed ! Tit for tat ! Zoroaster retaliates by declaring that an Asura (Ahura-Mazda-Ormuzd) is the Supreme Good, and that all devas are evil, and their worshipers all children of the devas. "There! take that!" Just so, the supreme guardian angel in Assyro-Babylonian lore was a Shedu : the ancestral guardian represented by the human- headed bull-colossi that guarded the gateways of temple and pal- ace.
