The God of Many Names
🕑 Added 2025-06-16 13:08:48 +0000 UTCThis post will be about (some of) the many names (and facets) of the Demiurge - the God of the Old Testament. It will be akin to a glossary, written in plain and intuitive manner.
Azazel is a particularly interesting name for the Demiurge - it contains within it the idea of the all-encompassing entity (like Abraxas, whose name contains, numerologically, the 365), as it contrasts the A (the first letter of the alphabet) with the Z (the last letter). 'Azaz', in hebrew, means ''to remove'', and 'el', of course, means God. The name is also related to the hebrew word for scapegoat.
Azazel is associated with the desert, which is a place symbolic of Chaos and the Void, as it is empty and harsh (see Jesus' 40-day fast and journey through the desert, which ended with Satan - that is, Azazel - coming to tempt Him); and the influence of the Sun and of the Moon are amplified within it. There is a jewish ritual involving Azazel and sacrificial offerings; in this case, goats were offered - first, the men passed their sins onto a black goat; then, they sent it into the desert as an offering (to Azazel). As a brief aside, black goats are particularly valuable offerings because the goat is an animal emblematic of the concentrated, raw energy of nature (like the Dragon); just like the color black, which is the mixture of all things (and the color of the Void). So, a black goat conjoins these two factors in one being.
Samael is a name which is usually associated with the evil aspect of the Abrahamic God. One of its meanings is simply ''Sun God/Sun Child of God''. Another is ''Venom/Severity of God''. Samael is the aspect that punishes sinners, and is related to the figure of the grim reaper. Some interpretations claim him to be an archangel; but, like Azazel, he may simply be but a facet of the Demiurge.
The infamous serial killer David Berkowitz' nickname, Son of Sam, refers to Samael.
YAHWEH is the most common name attributed to the God of the Old Testament. This facet is related to the golden donkey head which was an object of idol worship (see onolatry) by jews, for which human lives were supposedly offered as sacrifices . YAHWEH may be pronounced as a donkey's cry, and Set, the Egyptian Adversary, the God of Chaos (who is also reflected in Typhon from Greek mythology), has a donkey's head and is directly related to the Demiurge. This name means, quite simply, ''I Am'', and Jehovah is a variation of it.
Yaldabaoth is the name which the Gnostics most prominently attributed to the God of the Old Testament. It means ''Child of Chaos/of Darkness'', as well as ''Child of the Egg'' (according to Madam Blavatsky). This name is the most intuitive in relation to the Gnostic view of the Demiurge, as Sophia birthed him in Paradise, but he fell through the egg's shell and into the dark, chaotic abyss; and there he created his own world.
Lucifer as one of (the false) God's names is the highest secret of Freemasonry. The God of the Old Testament is, indeed, the proud Lucifer, the fallen angel who wished to make his own world so he could rule as God. Lucifer means ''Lightbringer'' (Phosphorus). He is associated with not only the dawn, but with the Morning Star, which is Venus - a planet personified by Aphrodite, the (female) god of desire and beauty. Lucifer is a Rebis - a conjoining of opposites, a hermaphroditic being. He can appear as both a man and a woman; he is the Sun (the Lion) and the Moon (the Serpent). In truth, the Demiurge and his offspring are the entire cosmos; all of the planets are but his aspects.
Satan is the most popular among the names listed here, for it is a figure well known by almost everyone in this planet. He represents, of course, the evilness of God; the dark side of the dualism. This name means ''Adversary'' or ''Accuser'', perfectly betraying his nature as the opposing pole.
And this is it for this article. Thank you for reading it! And as always, I appreciate the support.
I am deeply sorry for posting it a day late. The new video (which covers Nightreign's story) sucked most of the free time I had last week.

I apologize for the late reply. Around the time of your comment, I wrote a lengthy response to it but deleted it by accident by pressing the wrong key on my keyboard. Then I re-wrote it, and did it again. While I was frustrated for having wasted an hour of my time, I had the idea of re-writing it as a more comprehensive post, which is the one I just published. If you're interested in what I have to say, you could give it a read. Thank you for the support, I truly appreciate it! And I'm grateful for your comment as well. God bless you.

Big fan of your videos and while I agree with most of your insights I need help understanding your belief that God in the Old Testament is the demiurge. Several times in the New and Old Testament were told that God does not change I’ve added those verses below. Malachi 3:5-6 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts. “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.” James 1:12-18 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” Hebrews 13:8-9 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.” Lucifer, Satan, the prince of the power of the air, the evil one, the accuser, whatever we want to call them is referred to as a liar and the father of lies. We are told that this being has been given reign over the world. I feel that it is obvious that our world is indeed ruled by families who on one hand act like they have the best interests of the people but instead meet and plan in secret and seem to work tirelessly to besmirch the pure name of Jesus Christ. I think that the label demiurge is one of those placed on the good god of the Bible to confuse people into doubting Gods perfect holiness. Some of the things done in the Old Testament might seem cruel and brutal to us but that’s all part of the perfect plan of salvation through Jesus Christ and his sacrifice. Moreover when harsh things happen to people it’s in judgment for a variety of reasons. Much wisdom can be found about God through learning esoteric philosophy but beware that it doesn’t go against the Truth my friend. Keep searching for the Truth but beware deceit!

Hahah I know what you mean by the Jupiter rabbit hole. Jupiter is, as explained in this post, simply another facet of this all-encompassing (pseudo) God of our world (the Demiurge). This is the greatest of secrets which explains most things related to the occult. Thank you for your comment! And I am perfectly fine. Have a great day!

Hey, that Nightreign video was awesome! Samael has been my gamer name since I pilfered it from a friend (who, I imagine, had played Silent Hill before I got into horror)... interesting stuff! Strange to see how it all wraps around. I've been reading Young's Literal Translation after a comment on a previous post - I went down the YHVH/Jehovah (+Jupiter?) rabbithole not long after. I appreciate your work very much! Hope things are well on your end 🙏🏻
