FAQs
What are the “three worlds”?
Assiah, the earth (or the middle plane); Gehenna, the land of punishment (the lowest plane); Shamayim, the land of paradise (or the highest plane).
- Assiah is the universe we know, the “World of Action” in which life exists in two parts: flesh and soul. Beings of this plane actively communicate with the Divinitas, most of the time not realizing it, and live and die in an nigh endless cycle until the pneuma is at last ready to ascend as an angelus. Jibrīl stands as the gatekeeper to this realm.
- Gehenna is the land of punishment in which daemons, which were originally beings of the middle plane, had their souls reach Shamayim while their bodies were still alive. These undead beings were left to wander aimlessly for their pneuma. Eventually, they began to consume the pneuma of living beings and as a result were cast down into the lowest plane. From then on, Death would allow pneuma to ascend to Shamayim leaving a body that would not walk again. After many eons the strongest of the daemons (Legion) managed to re-enter Assiah, leaving the countless others to wait in the lower plane. They are led by the Lucifer–the Light of Venus, the only “evil” angelus, who was long ago imprisoned on the desert-like planet by Jibrīl, Mikaīl, and Urīl. Mikaīl stands as the gatekeeper to this realm.
- Shamayim is heaven or paradise, the highest plane and a world of infinite light (the Ain Soph Aur). It is here that the very core of the Divinitas resides, creating and communicating, ever-expanding its reaches into the nether. The pneuma of the untainted reside her temporarily until their rebirth into Assiah–up until the point at which they are ready to ascend fully as an angelus. Urīl stands as the gatekeeper to this realm.
What is an angelus?
The higher beings that exist on another plane of existence (namely Shamayim). Because they are ascended they are able to communicate with the Divinitas in a way that lower beings cannot. They typically exist as pure pneuma and do not have corporeal bodies (flesh, but no soul) but are can be granted temporary ones so long as they are bound by that body’s lifespan. When needed they can transform into a semi-angelus state while in the world of Assiah, making them appear humanoid and corporeal. This, of course, doesn’t last very long and can easily destroy the vessel they are in.
What are daemons (dæmons)?
Malevolent beings can seduce, afflict, or possess beings from Assiah, the middle plane. Because they are beings that do not breathe they do not possess pneuma and are bound to their only form, their “flesh”. They hunger for pneuma and are strengthened by it, however the only way in which they can steal it is to “defile” it and make it unable completely unable to communicate with the Divinitas. When the bond between the force of creation and the soul breaks, that person’s pneuma is fair game for a daemon unless they repent.
What is the Divinitas?
The sentient force of creation and life which moves through all living things as the divine wind (or breath). In a word it is God or El, also known as the “Light-that-is-easily-bored”. It apparently loves Chaos theory, speaks in binary, and is made of energy, math, and sarcasm. If it were a human it’d be Ian Malcolm.
What are the djinn?
Wish granters or “genies”; a specific type of daemon considered higher in rank than most others. See daemon.
What is pneuma?
A person’s spirit or soul which is described as being ones own breath. So, obviously, that which does not breathe does not have a soul. Anything that has a pneuma has two forms: their “flesh” (soma) and their “soul” (pneuma). When exiting the body it appears as though the body is exhaling and the wind from that person’s lungs forms a butterfly which flutters to Shamayim to await reincarnation. The sublimis pneuma (sublime soul) is a soul that is partially ascended (or half angelic).
What does it mean to defile one’s pneuma and repent?
When someone actively harms the flesh and soul (either by themselves or to another) by committing sin (or things that reek negative energy) their pneuma is wounded (or “defiled”). It’s almost like cutting your skin and never allowing the laceration to heal. By repenting or “doing good” to negate the bad energy, one can eliminate defilement and vulnerability.

What/Where is Gadara?
Mentioned in the Bible, Gadara is a city (now called Umm Qais in modern Jordan) where Yeshua confronted a man who was possessed by Legion. He was exorcised by Yeshua and forced Legion into a nearby herd of swine which, driven mad by its evil, ran into the Sea of Galilee and drowned in the depths of the lake. Before their demise Legion was able to notice a deep, volcanic crevice, which it found to be a secret opening from Assiah to Gehenna. Without much trouble Legion was able to return to Gehenna and bring with it many of its cohorts to Assiah—while leaving many to wait until they were strong enough to survive the perilous journey. He unfortunately was able to get revenege on Yeshua a few years later.
Who is Yeshua?
Also known as “Jesus”, Yeshua was a pacifist who was an angelus confined within a human body in Assiah. He used his angelic powers to help and guide others to live a life of serenity and peace. In the end he was killed by Legion and his cohorts.
What is the Ocularis Infernum?
The “Eye of Gehenna (Hell) ” which oversees everything with complete omnipotence, even in Jannah. It has the power to destroy the boundaries of the three worlds and collapse Assiah and Gehenna together. The only one who can wield the power of the eye is the signimi and is powered by the Black Zodiac spirit–otherwise known as the defiled “sublimis pneuma” of humans in Assiah .
What is the Black Zodiac?
The astrological signs of the time-space of Gehenna which, instead of being represented by constellations, are instead representative of Gehenna’s original ten daemons (who have long since perished), the signimi, and her two age-old companions.
