How art thou fallen from Heaven
O day-star, son of the morning!
How art thou cast down to the ground,
That didst cast lots over the nations!
And thou saidst in thy heart:
‘I will ascend into Heaven,
Above the stars of God
Will I exalt my throne;
And I will sit upon the mount of meeting,
In the uttermost parts of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the Most High’
Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether world,
To the uttermost parts of the pit.



The name "Hell" springs from "Hel," Land of the Dead in Norse and Germanic mythology (a place which incidentally boasts nine levels!), and has nothing to do with "The Fiery Gehenna" of the New Testament. The latter place is believed to be the Hinnom Valley outside Jerusalem, a well-known place for burning garbage and the alleged location of a sacrificial altar dedicated to Moloch.
Furthermore, "Inferno" is derived from the Latin word "inferior" - something "lower" - and "Hades" is the good old Greek underworld that in later, more judgmental versions bears a striking similarity to what we have come to know today as Hell. Remarkably enough, both Hades and Sheol, the Hebrew Netherworld (literally "grave": a term that is used as a synonym for "Hell" in some versions of the Bible) started out as desolate but rather harmless wastelands filled with the dead before these places turned into the fiery torture chambers that we consider them today. Somehow over the years punishment has become quite fashionable.

While awaiting the Last Days, the rank and file of the Infernal Host are organised in Legions, serving the Daemons of Hell in their endless conflicts. The word Legion comes from “Legio” a Latin word signifying a levied (legere) military Unit. As an adjective it can mean “multitude” or “innumerable.” The use of the term comes from Mark V.5, where a horde of “legio” daemons are driven out of a man and into a herd of two thousand pigs. The possessed pigs then stampede off a cliff and drown in the Sea of Galilee.
Several medieval scholars have carefully counted the number of “Infernal Legions” available to Lucifer, very much like a modern intelligence officer would count missiles or tank regiments. The number they most commonly agree upon is, surprisingly enough, 666.

Hell’s somewhat erratic geography and unpredictable ruler constantly affect its inhabitants, as does the Earth and Heaven above it. Some people claim that most of the minor phenomena in Hell, such as earthquakes and caveins, are unleashed by the First Fallen himself, mostly out of sheer boredom.

Hell’s use of the five-pointed star as a trademark has a long and very confused history. Stars with varying numbers of points have been used as magical symbols since time immemorial, mostly as a protective sign or to symbolise the element earth. (In the latter form it is featured in the Tarot and has since morphed into the diamonds of a normal deck of cards.) But it is unclear when the magician’s circle, the inverted five pointed star inside a circle, was adopted as one of Lucifer’s many symbols. Or indeed, if it was more “thrust upon” than adopted. The fact that the Pentagram can be found in old Hebrew and Babylonian scriptures does not prove either thesis, and the truth may lay somewhere in between. Like many other pagan symbols and rituals, it most likely woke up one day and found that it had been branded as evil through clerical rather than Daemonic intervention.
The image of The First Fallen as a horned thing with cloven hooves has similar ancestry. The Horned Beast is of course a distorted version of the relatively harmless Greek satyr, whose cheerful manners, low morals and skill at organising great orgies made it a natural enemy of the early church’s growing influence.
