The real Beelzebub
An illustration for my series of books "Smoldering Hell".

Graphics, watercolor and pencil technique.
A diptych
(a painting consisting of two works-parts).
Beelzebub, the real archdemon, Hell"s Lord, the fallen Seraphim, sole proprietor of the Gagiel qlipha (anti-sephira Chokmah), the "right hand" of the Devil, Lord of the Flies.
For this diptych, I was inspired by a very important song, which, in fact, was written by the Raubtier group on behalf of Beelzebub, who sings about his formation (song Raubtier - Flugornas herre). And it's amazing how accurately the author of the song reflected his personal pain through the meaning of the lyrics and the atmosphere and music of the song: it's just the maximum hit. In such cases, I am always interested in how the author managed to do this: does he know something of the Truth? Does he invest his personal experiences, or is it information he has read from the Ether (which people often take for their fantasy), to which he intentionally or unintentionally connected and then embodied in his work?
Perhaps I'll write you a translation of this song in its entirety, and then explain what's what. I translated it myself, because the translations of this song are crooked on the Internet:
Se min födelse ta form
Watch as I am born and take shape.
Se förödelsen som växer sig enorm
Look how the destruction is getting bigger.
Gör min kungörelse hörd
And let everyone hear my speech.
Kräla nu likt larver i min efterbörd
Now crawl like maggots in my afterbirth.
Jag ser rött, känner blodlukt och nya tiders gryning
I see red, I smell blood and a new era is coming,
En våg av förtvivlan följer girighetens dyning
A wave of greed is followed by a wave of despair,
Plågor och lidande skall jag nu göra värre
Now I'm going to make the pain and suffering even worse.
Se maktövertagandet av flugornas herre
Behold the seizure of power by the Lord of the Flies!
Flugornas herre
Lord of the Flies
amöbornas khan
Khan of the amoebas.
Jag är skapt av ignorans
I was created out of ignorance,
Jag är skuggan av er svullna arrogans
I'm a shadow of your overblown arrogance,
Eder härskare är jag
I am your Master.
Jag förslavar er med herremannens lag
(in general, apparently, the exact translation of this line sounds like "I will make you obey the law of the lord", but which lord I did not understand – maybe the Lord of the Flies is meant? Then it sounds logical ("I'll make you obey my law). On the Internet, this line is translated as "obey the law of the God").
Jag ser rött, känner blodlukt och nya tiders gryning
I see red, I smell blood and a new era is coming,
En våg av förtvivlan följer girighetens dyning
A wave of greed is followed by a wave of despair,
Plågor och lidande skall jag nu göra värre
Now I'm going to make the pain and suffering even worse.
Se maktövertagandet av flugornas herre
Behold the seizure of power by the Lord of the Flies!
Bär mig sorgen och pestens flod
I am carried by rivers of sadness and horror,
Föd mitt rike över havet av blod
I will create my kingdom on the river of blood.
Jag ser rött, känner blodlukt och nya tiders gryning
I see red, I smell blood and a new era is coming,
En våg av förtvivlan följer girighetens dyning
A wave of greed is followed by a wave of despair,
Plågor och lidande skall jag nu göra värre
Now I'm going to make the pain and suffering even worse.
Se maktövertagandet av flugornas herre
Behold the seizure of power by the Lord of the Flies!
Flugornas herre
Lord of the Flies
Amöbornas khan
Khan of the amoebas
Är jag
It's me!
________
The song perfectly reflects Beelzebub's formation as an archdemon and lord of hell, and his personal heartache, that is, his personal hell: "Lord of the flies, Khan of the amoebas, it's me!" is sung in the song on behalf of Beelzebub, and these are practically the same words that he often said about himself, – now I will give an example of a moment from his life, which I described in one of my chronicles; the action takes place in a network of underground sewers that are his hall:
<...> "The palace always matches its emperor," he suddenly remembered his own words, spoken to Theophilus not so long ago, sounded in his head from memory and echoed painfully in his heart. The tense Beelzebub looked at his possessions with a gloomy look, that is, dirty litter and trash, the blackness near the walls, hiding the creatures of hell and small evil spirits, looked at the untidy walls and with multiple streaks, oh, but did he want this, did he think about it when he went against the God with Lucifer?
