Dictionnaire Infernal ("Infernal Dictionary") is a book on demonology, written by Jacques Collin de Plancy and illustrated by Louis Le Breton. It's lists several demons, deities and spirits from different cultures.

Influenced by Voltaire, Collin de Plancy initially did not believe in superstition. For example, the book reassures its contemporaries as to the torments of Hell: "To deny that there are sorrows and rewards after death is to deny the existence of God; since God exists, it must be necessarily so. But only God could know the punishments meted out to the guilty, or the place that holds them. All the catalogues made herebefore are only the fruit of a more or less disordered imagination. Theologians should leave to the poets the depiction of Hell, and not themselves seek to frighten minds with hideous paintings and appalling books".

The skepticism of Collin de Plancy increasingly subsided over time. By the end of 1830 he was an enthusiastic Roman Catholic, to the consternation of his former admirers.[citation needed] In later years, De Plancy rejected and modified his past works, thoroughly revising his Dictionnaire Infernal to conform with Roman Catholic theology. This influence is most clearly seen in the sixth and final 1863 edition of the book, which is decorated with many engravings and seeks to affirm the existence of the demons. de Plancy collaborated with Jacques Paul Migne, a French priest, to complete a Dictionary of the occult sciences or theological Encyclopaedia, which is described as an authentic Roman Catholic work.

Many articles written in the Dictionnaire Infernal illustrate the author's vacillation between rationalism, faith, and willingness to believe without evidence. For example, he admits the possible effectiveness of chiromancy, while rejecting cartomancy: "It is certain that chiromancy, and especially physiognomy, have at least some plausibility: they draw their predictions from signs which relate to features which distinguish and characterize people; of lines which the subjects carry with themselves, which are the work of nature, and that someone can believe significant, since they are unique to each individual. But the cards, merely human artifacts, not knowing either the future, nor the present, nor the past, have nothing of the individuality of the person consulting them. For a thousand different people they will have the same result; and consulted twenty times about the same subject, they will produce twenty contradictory productions".

Dictionnaire Infernal[]

A[]

  • Abaddon: the destroyer ; leader of the demons of the seventh hierarchy. This is sometimes the name of the exterminating angel in Revelation.
  • Abalam: little-known prince of hell. He is from Paimon's suite. See. this word.
  • Abigor: demon of a higher order, grand duke in the infernal monarchy. Sixty legions march under his orders. He shows himself as a handsome horseman carrying a lance, standard or scepter; he skillfully answers all that concerns the secrets of war, knows the future, and teaches leaders how to make soldiers love themselves.
  • Abraxas: one of the gods of some Asian theogonies ’, from which the philacterium abracadabra was derived. Abracax is depicted on amulets with a rooster's head, dragon's feet and a whip in his hand. The demonographers made him a demon, with the head of a king and the feet of serpents. The Basilidians, heretics of the second century, saw him as their supreme god. As they found that the seven Greek letters of which they formed his name made in Greek the number 365, which is that of the days of the year, they placed under his orders several spirits who presided over the three hundred and sixty-five heavens, and over which they attributed three hundred and sixty-five virtues, one for each day. The Basilidians still said that Jesus Christ, Our Lord, was only a benevolent ghost sent to earth by Abracax. They were deviating from the doctrine of their leader.
  • Adramelech: great chancellor of the underworld, steward of the wardrobe of the sovereign of demons, president of the high council of devils. He was worshiped in Sepharvaim, a city of the Assyrians, who burned children on its altars. The rabbis say he shows himself as a mule, and sometimes as a peacock.
  • Agares: grand duke of the eastern part of the underworld. He shows himself as a lord riding a crocodile, the hawk in his hand.
  • Arimane: prince of the underworld among the ancient Persians, source of evil, black demon, begotten in darkness [1], enemy of Oromaz or Or-mouzd, principle of good. But this is eternal, while Arimane is created and must someday perish.
  • Ahura Mazda:
  • Alastor: severe demon, supreme executor of the sentences of the infernal monarch. He performs the functions of Nemesis. Zoroaster calls him the executioner; Origen says it's the same as Azazel; others confuse him with the exterminating angel. The ancients called the evil spirits alastores, and Plutarch said that Cicero, out of hatred against Augustus, had the project to kill himself near the home of this prince to become his alastor.

  • Amaymon: one of the four kings of hell, of which he rules the eastern part. It is evoked in the morning, from nine o'clock to noon, and in the evening from three to six o'clock. Asmodeus is his lieutenant and the first prince of his estates
  • Amduscias: grand duke in the underworld. It is shaped like a unicorn; but when it is mentioned, it shows itself in a human figure.

  • Amon: great and mighty marquess of the infernal empire. He has the face of a wolf, with a serpent's tail; he vomited from the flame; when he takes on human form, he has only the body of man; its head resembles that of an owl and its beak shows very sharp canine teeth. He is the strongest of the demon princes. He knows the past and the future, and reconciles, when he wants, the estranged friends. He commands forty legions. The Egyptians saw in Amon or Amoun their supreme God; they represented him with blue skin, in a fairly human form.
  • Amy: great president in the underworld, and one of the princes of the hellish monarchy. There he appears surrounded by flames, but he affects human features on earth. He teaches the secrets of astrology and the liberal arts; he gives good servants; he discovers to his friends the treasures guarded by demons; he is prefect of thirty-six legions. Fallen angels and powers are under his command. He hopes that after two, a hundred thousand years he will return to heaven to occupy the seventh throne; which is unbelievable, says Wierus.
  • Anamelech: dark demon, bearer of bad news. He was worshiped in Sepharvaim, a city of the Assyrians. He showed himself as a quail. His name means, it is said, good king; and learned men assure that this demon is the moon, and Adramelech the sun. He plays a part in the poem where Gessner sang about the death of Abel.
  • Anarazel: one of the demons charged with guarding underground treasures, which they transport from one place to another to steal them from human search. Anarazel, with his companions Gaziel and Fécor, shakes the foundations of reasons, stirs up storms, rings bells at midnight, makes specters appear and inspires night terrors.

Thirty legions are under his command.

  • Asmodeus: Prince of Lust.
  • Astaroth: Crowned prince and Duke of Hell.
  • Atropos: one of the three Fates; she was the one who cut the thread. Hesiod paints her as very ferocious; one flees gives a black garment, wrinkled features and an unattractive demeanor.

He holds a lighted torch in his hand. He commands twenty-six legions. Some say it's the same as Raum; which seems at least doubtful to us.
  • Azael: one of the angels who rebelled against God. The rabbis say he is chained to sharp stones in a dark place in the desert, awaiting the final judgment.
  • Azariel: angel who, according to the rabbis of the Talmud, has the superintendence of the waters of the earth. The fishermen summon him to catch big fish.

B[]

  • Bael: demon cited in the Grand Grimoire, at the head of the infernal powers. It is also through him that Wierus begins the inventory of his famous Pseudomonarchia dœmonum. He calls Bael the first king of hell; its states are in the eastern part. He shows himself with three heads, one of which has the face of a toad, the other that of a man, the third that of a cat. His voice is hoarse; but he fights very well. He makes those who summon him cunning and cunning, and teaches them how to be invisible when necessary. Sixty-six legions obey him
  • Balam: great and terrible king in the underworld. It sometimes has three heads: that of a bull, that of a man, that of a ram. Add to that a snake tail and eyes that cast flame. But more usually he shows himself on horseback, naked and horned, on a bear, and carries a hawk in his hand. His voice is hoarse and violent. He answers on the past, the present and the future. - This demon, who was once of the order of dominions, and who now commands forty infernal legions, teaches cunning, finesse and the convenient means of seeing without being seen.
  • Baldr: scandinavian god, son of Odin and Frigga. Locke, his enemy, had him killed by Hoder; and, godly as he was, he descended into hell, where he remained.
  • Barbas: great president of the underworld; he shows himself in the form of a furious lion. When in the presence of an exorcist, he assumes the human figure and responds to hidden things. He sends diseases; it gives knowledge of the mechanical arts; it changes man in different metamorphoses; he commands thirty-six legions
  • Barbatos: great and powerful demon, count-duke in the underworld, type of Robin Hood; he shows himself as an archer or a hunter; it is found in forests. Four kings sound the horn in front of him. He learns to guess by the song of birds, the roaring of bulls, the barking of dogs and the cries of various animals. He knows the treasures buried by magicians. He reconciles the quarreled friends. This demon, who was once of the order of the virtues of heaven or that of dominions, is now reduced to commanding thirty legions of hell. He knows the past and the future.
  • Barron: one of the demons to which Marshal de Retz sacrificed.
  • Bathin: duke in the underworld, tall and strong: he has the appearance of a robust man, and behind the tail of a serpent. He rides a livid white horse. He knows the virtues of herbs and precious stones. It transports men from one country to another with incredible speed. Thirty legions obey him.
  • Beelzebub: Prince of Flies.
  • Behemoth: Primordial Beast.
  • Bel: supreme deity of the Chaldeans. Wierus says he is an old demon whose voice rings hollow. The peoples who made him a god told that in the beginning the world was nothing but chaos inhabited by monsters; that Bel killed them, arranged the universe, had his head cut off by one of his servants, soaked the earth with his blood and formed animals and men from it.
  • Beleth: strong and terrible demon, one of the kings of hell, according to the Pseudomonarchy of Wierus. He shows himself seated on a white horse, preceded by cats which sound the horn and the trunk. The adjudicator who dismisses needs a great deal of caution, for he obeys only with fury. To subdue it, you must have a stick of an elbow tree in your hand; and, turning towards the point which separates east from south, draw outside the circle where one has placed a triangle; we then read the formula which binds the spirits, and Byleth arrives in the triangle with submission. If it does not appear, it is because the exorcist is powerless, and hell despises his power. It is also said that when you give Byleth a glass of wine, you have to put it in the triangle; he obeys more willingly and serves well the one who feasts on him. We must be careful, when he appears, to give him a gracious welcome, to compliment him on his good looks, to show that he is taken care of and of the other kings his brothers: he is sensitive to all of this. We should not neglect, all the time we spend with him, to have on the middle finger of the left hand a silver ring that will be presented in front of his face. If these conditions are difficult, as a reward the one who submits Bylet becomes the most powerful of men. - He was once in the order of the powers; he hopes to one day ascend to heaven on the seventh throne, which is hardly credible. He commands eighty legions.
  • Belial: Common devil.
  • Belobog: the white god of the old Slavs.

  • Beyrevra: Indian demon, leader of the souls that roam the space turned into aerial demons. They say he has large, very crooked fingernails. Brahma having once insulted the Greatest Of Gods; Shiva, Beyrevra, charged with punishing him, cut off his head with his fingernail. Brahma, humbled, begged forgiveness, and the God Eeshwara promised to console him that he would not be less respected with the four heads he had left than he was previously with five heads.
  • Bifrons: demon appearing with the face of a monster. When it takes human form, it makes man learned in astrology, and teaches him to know the influences of the planets; he excels in geometry; he knows the virtues of herbs, precious stones and plants; he transports the corpses from one place to another. He has also been seen lighting torches at the tombs of the dead. He has twenty-six legions at his command.

He has as many friends as he has enemies. He commands sixty legions
  • Brahma: creator god of the Indians. They recognize in him nine sons, who are known as many little Brahmas: Takin, born of the toe of the god; Poulaguin, from his navel; Poulalien, with his ear; Pirrougou, from his shoulder; Méraclou, with his hands; Chanabadi, with his face; Angira, from his nose; Narissen, from his mind, and Atri, from his eyes.
  • Buer: second-class demon, president of the underworld; it is shaped like a star or a five-pointed wheel, and rolls forward. He teaches the philosophy, logic and virtues of medicinal herbs. He prides himself on giving good servants and restoring health to the sick. He commands fifty legions.
  • Bune: powerful demon, grand duke in the underworld. He is in the form of a dragon with three heads, only the third of which is that of a man. He speaks only by signs; he moves corpses, haunts cemeteries and gathers demons on sepulchres. He prides himself on making those who serve him rich and eloquent. Thirty legions obey him. The demons subjected to Bune, called Bunis, are feared by the Tartars, who say they are very evil. One must have a clear conscience to be safe from their malice; for their power is great and their number is immense. However, the wizards of the land tame them, and it is through the Bunis that they boast of discovering the future.

C[]

  • Caacrinolaas: Also called Caassimolar and Glassialabolas, great president of the underworld, he comes in the form of a dog, and he has the gait, with the wings of a griffin. It gives knowledge of the liberal arts, and, by a bizarre contrast, it inspires homicides. It is said that he predicts the future well. This demon makes man invisible and commands thirty-six legions . The Grand Grimoire names him Classyalabolas, and makes him only a sort of sergeant who sometimes serves as a mount for Nebiros or Naberus.
  • Cacus: a kind of ogre of antiquity. He was the son of Vulcan and vomited fire from his mouth. This monster, of gigantic size, half a man and half a goat, ate -by-passers in his cave, at the foot of Mount Aventine, and hung their heads on his door. He was strangled by Hercules. - Cacus was sometimes painted with the head of an animal on the body of a man.
  • Camenae: guardian goddesses of children among the ancients. They have been replaced by our fairies; they presided over the birth, sang the horoscope of the newborn, gave it a gift, like the fairies in Brittany, and received small gifts from mothers. They did not show themselves; however, they were served dinner in a secluded room during childbirth.
  • Carabia: little-known demon, though he wields great power in the Dark Empire. He is king of one part of hell, and count of another considerable province. He presents himself, like Buer, as a five-rayed star. He knows the virtues of plants and precious stones; it dominates over the birds, which it makes familiar. Thirty legions are at his command
  • Carniveau: demon invoked in the Sabbath litanies.
  • Carreau: demon invoked as prince of the powers in the litanies of the Sabbath.
  • Cathaï-Khann: prince of the sea among the Tartars. This demon is a dreadful cannibal who one day seizes his friend Djilbeguenn, said the deceiver, boiled him and ate him. He has an arrow that always comes back to him when he has completed his mission. She once pierced a mountain of copper and came back to it after circling the earth. A golden-scaled serpent, which had a silver horn on its head and carbuncle eyes, twelve acres apart, with an endless tail, devoured her child. Catai shot her arrow at her forehead, which she split in two. The prince of the sea found his child in the belly of the serpent; the child still lived there, in the company of a few heroes, still alive, with their horses. Then Cataï's horse said to his master: “Take off the blanket that is under my saddle; and I will give the child what little milk I have left from the time I was breastfeeding my mother; "And the child lived; and later he also ate his father. These are Tartar traditions.
  • Cattéri
  • Caym: upper class demon, great president in the underworld; he usually shows himself as a blackbird. When he appears in human form, he responds with a blazing inferno; he carries a sharp saber in his hand. He is, they say, the most skillful sophist in hell; and he can, by the trick of his arguments, despair the most seasoned logician. It was with him that Luther had this famous dispute, the circumstances of which he has preserved for us. Caym gives intelligence to the song of birds, the roar of oxen, the bark of dogs and the sound of waves. He knows the future. Sometimes he has shown himself as a man wearing an egret and adorned with a peacock's tail. This demon, who was once of the order of angels, now commands thirty legions in the underworld.
  • Ceres: What were the mysteries of Cérès à Éleusis, the symbols of sorcery, magic and the Sabbath? At these orgies, we danced in the son of the clairon, as on the Sabbath of the sorcerers; and there have been abominable things which he has defended to the professed revelation [1]; »It is seen in Pausanias that the Arcadians represented Cérès with a corps of women and a horse's head. The name of Cérès was given to a planet discovered by Piazzi in 1801. This planet still has no influence on the horoscopes.
  • Charon: The fable of the boatman of the underworld came, it is said, from Memphis, Greece. Son of Erebus and Nyx, he crossed Cocytus and Acheron in a narrow boat. Old and stingy, he only received there the shadows of those who had received the burial and who paid for him passage. No mortal during his lifetime could enter it, unless a golden branch consecrated to Proserpina served as a safe-conduct; and the pious Aeneas needed the sibyl to present this pass to him when he wanted to enter the kingdom of Pluto. Long before the passage of this prince, the infernal nocher had been exiled for a year in an obscure place of Tartarus, for having received in his boat Hercules, who had not provided himself with the branch.
  • Chemosh: demon of flattery, member of the infernal council. The Ammonites and the Moabites worshiped the sun, under the name of Chamos, Kamosch or Kemosch; and Milton calls it the obscene terror of the children of Moab. Others confuse it with Jupiter-Ammon. Vossius believed that it was the Horned of the Greeks and Romans, who was the god of games, dances and balls. Those who derive this word from the Hebrew Kamos claim that it means the hidden god, that is, Pluto, whose abode is in the underworld.
  • Circe :
  • Clauneck: Turkish demon who has power over goods, over wealth; he brings treasures to the one he serves by virtue of a pact. He is loved by Lucifer, who leaves him master of lavishing the money. He makes complacency for convenience to who calls him.
  • Clotho: One of the three Fates and the youngest. It is she who spins destinies; it is given a distaff of a prodigious height. Most mythologists place her with her sisters at the door of Pluto's lair. Lucien puts her in the boat at Caron; but Plutarch says she is in the moon, whose movements she directs.

D[]

  • Dagan: second-rate demon, baker and great baker of the infernal court. It is found appearing in the possession of Auxonne. The Philistines worshiped him in the form of a monster uniting the bust of man with the tail of a fish. They credited him with the invention of agriculture, which has been attributed to so many others. We read in the first book of Kings that, the Philistines having made themselves masters of the ark of the Lord, and having placed it in Azot in their temple, where was the idol of Dagon, we saw this idol the next day. mutilated, and her head with both hands on the threshold of the door. "Since then," said the sacred author, "the priests of Dagon and all who entered his temple no longer walked on the threshold of this door".
  • Demogorgon: adored in Arcadia, has left a curious history. He was buried in the middle of the earth, then inert, and he was bored there, for his only companion was chaos. So he decided to make a little car in the shape of a sphere; he threw it up and stood on it. As it always turned circular, its excursion formed the sky. Having encountered fire on the way, he made it the sun, and piece by piece he built this world. This is one of the dogmas of the pagans.
  • Deumus: deity of the inhabitants of Calicut, in Malabar. This deity, who is only a devil worshiped under the name of Deumus, has a crown, four horns on the head and four hooked teeth on the mouth, which is very large; she has a pointed, hooked nose, rooster's feet, and holds in her claws a soul she seems ready to devour.

G[]

  • Gaap:

But as soon as he takes that of a man, he has a hoarse voice and talks about the liberal arts. He also brings up before the exorcist the souls who perished in the sea, and those who suffer in that part of purgatory which is called Cartagra (that is, affliction of souls). He clearly answers all questions put to him; he remains with the exorcist until he has carried out all that is ordered to him; however there, thirty legions are subjected to him
  • Ganga-Gramma: female demon whom the Indians fear very much, and consequently to whom they render great honor. He has one head and four arms; he holds a small bowl in his left hand, and a three-pointed fork in his right. They lead him in procession on a chariot with much pomp; sometimes there are fanatics who are crushed by devotion under its wheels. Goats are the ordinary victims who are sacrificed to him. In sickness or some other danger there are Indians who vow, if they escape, to perform the following ceremony in honor of GangaGranima. They are hooked into the skin of the backs, by means of which they are raised in the air; there they do a few skill turns, like entrechats, in the presence of the spectators. There are some simple and gullible women who are persuaded that this ceremony is pleasing to Ganga-Gramma, and that it causes no pain. When they smell it, there is no time to retract it, they are already in the air, and the cries of the assistants stifle their complaints. A kind of penance, always in honor of the same demon, is to let a string pass through the flesh, and dance while other people pull the string. The night following the feast of GangaGramma, a buffalo is sacrificed to him, the blood of which is collected in a vase; we place it in front of the idol, and we assure that the next day it will be empty. Authors say that in the past, instead of a buffalo, a human victim was sacrificed.
