Chaldean Demonology

Chaldean Demonology is a comprehensive study of the ancient Babylonian religion and mythology, written by the renowned French historian and archaeologist, Francois Lenormant. The book delves into the beliefs and practices of the Chaldeans, who inhabited Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) during the first millennium BCE. Lenormant explores the Chaldean pantheon of gods and goddesses, as well as their complex system of demons and evil spirits. He examines the various rituals and incantations used to appease or ward off these malevolent entities, and analyzes the role of divination and astrology in Chaldean religious practice. The book also includes translations of several key Chaldean texts, such as the Enuma Elish creation myth and the Epic of Gilgamesh. Lenormant draws upon a wide range of sources, including cuneiform tablets, ancient inscriptions, and archaeological discoveries, to provide a detailed and scholarly account of Chaldean demonology. Chaldean Demonology is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ancient Mesopotamia, the development of religion and mythology, or the study of demonology and the occult.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Chaldean Magic its Origin and Development, by Francois Lenormant.
