Talk:Belphegor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Much of the material has been copied from the Occultopedia. It should be reworded. 163.1.159.21 13:48, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Furthermore, not much thought has been given to the content of the article in the Occultopedia itself. There are typos and grammatical mistakes. I don't understand why his sacrificial offering being excrement is offered as a reason for his being difficult to conjure. Since excrement is a readily available material and easily acquired, I would have thought this counted towards making him easier - albeit unpleasant - to conjure. 163.1.159.21 13:54, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Isn't there also some kind of metal band called Belphegor? http://www.belphegor.at/ perhaps they should have some mention somewhere?
Should there be a link to Belphegor's mother, Necessity? :) njh 04:55, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sign of Belphegor
Is there a simbol or something that represents Belphegor I found this http://belphegor.sanguinis.net/themes/belph/images/title.jpg picture at that webcomic but I'm uncertain of its origin.

Oops, admittedly I am not too interested in the Crowley - Magick line of thought. But I pray you where would I find out more about the the myth, or about Belphegor and Necessity.
Hmmm not a trace it seems in Mircea Eliade's history of religious ideas (Geschichte der religiösen Ideen). Just checked the index.
But concerning Belphegor Zappa came immediately to mind and thus: Necessity.
Nessecity is the Mother of Invention.
n'est pas?
LeaNder 16:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC) There are 2 bands named Belfegore. One was a band from 1984 that would be considered alternative metal (New Wave similar sound to the Cult). Their basic one hit wonder is available through amazon on a compilation called Retro Active 4... funny enough the one song they are fameous for is called "All that I wanted" and it really seems to follow along with the bands name.

[edit] RE: External Links
I noticed that the External Links section leads to a webcomic and an artist's painting, both little known. Isn't there a rule against such promotion? I think a link to some website about Ars Goetia or some such work might be more appropriate.Squidvillanueva (talk) 15:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Belphegor in the Christian Bible
Has Belphegor ever been mentioned in any translation/version of the Christian Bible?
