But Sariel is the angel of death?

I really like your neutral depictions of each group.
I really like how you depicted the underside of the spectrum.
They all have such skills, it's a shame they become fallen angels and used their skills for evil...
If you don't mind me asking, are you an atheist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well there is no point in being biased if you are doing research.
Actually, they are fallen because they have skills and posses knowledge. It is very easy to comprehend the pattern. If you question, if you are curious, if you love nature and it's creatures (the "dark" ones), if you ponder about your existence, if you desire proof etc, instantly you are evil... (I really don't want to turn this into a debate xD)
I am an atheist and no I don't mind.
Feel free to ask me whatever you like.

If you desire proof and go about it the right way, I don't think that makes you evil...
I was just wondering since you seemed very neutral about what you were depicting. And I'm a Christian and I don't want to turn anything into a debate either. You believe what you want and continue to be a sensible person, I'm completely fine with you. 
But again, great picture!

Thank you so much! It is nice to run into a non zealous Christian that can stick to their own beliefs.
Have a great day. ^^

Quick question... sorry for the ignorance... what religion is this based or if it's a general thing??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I'm guessing it's pretty much a general thing (not that I'm an expert or anything). Most of the names and descriptions are from the Christian point of view, but some names overlap in different religions. Other religions have somewhat similar listing of orders with different names.
I hope it helps

Wait, wait, wait. In Astaroth's description you mentioned Sebastian Michaelis. I just finished watching Kuroshitsuji season 1, so I was wondering... Do you mean him, or another person?

That's a very interesting thing.
Angels look freakier than demons.
Well, this at least explain why do they greet anyone they meet with "Fear not!".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They do! In every description I could find, they are described as looking very scary and dangerous. Maybe in order to inspire obedience and fear, so sinners don't sin...

Description of cherubim borderlines mindscrew, i don't even mention seraphim or Thrones.
Don't know 
Also if you read about pre-colombian America beliefs such as Maya and Incas - their mythology is full of even creepier monstrosities.

Yep... People's imagination knows no boundaries

Lilth was a succubus, that was Satan's lover. She assisted him, many times with his deeds. Look her up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, sure... I did this according to Grimoire of Honorius.
There was no mention of that demon and even if there was, if she is a succubus, that means she is a subordinate spirit and that she isn't that important...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just thought I'd mention her. Some stories say she's a demon, other a succubus.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly
The one I followed doesn't have her mentioned.
Thanks for bringing it up ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I just thought I'd point her out to you. I do know that she can tend to be very important in the stories being as he relationship with Satan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's cool. I didn't read that many stories, just the statistical aspects of everything
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Lilith wasn't a demon or a succubus. She was Adam's first wife created along side him instead of from him, and when she refused his rule God kicked her out of Eden. It was then that she went down to hell and started popping out demons for the devil.

Ha! That's pretty awesome... So adam married twice ha? xD
Kinda takes away from all the biblical purity...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, he and lilith argued about who would be on top sexually, so he might have been "pure" for eve.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's fun to read holy books from a neutral point of view. Liek when i read that eve was made from adam's rib what i'm thinking is that Adam was screwing his clone. or when cain and able went to go find wives who else could they marry except their sisters, and by that logic all of humanity is the product of incest

Mmm, well you never know what you can come across when you do. I love reading stories about supernatural kind of entities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I used to do that too. Don't have that much time anymore though...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear you on not having the time anymore. Oh, the old days when we weren't weighed down and kept from things we wanted to do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, yes, indeed...
The good ol' days

:3 Oh yes, granted those were the days were we tended to be oblivious of some things.

Favved because it doesnt depict the "dark" side as something that is only evil and because of it not being just another bullshit christian propaganda poster! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because I am an atheist and I don't really care much for the "bullshit christian propaganda". I thought it was interesting and I liked the "dark side" especially because there is nothing evil about it. Each "demon" has a certain knowledge and skill that it teaches, but with christianity, I guess it is evil to gain knowledge.
I did follow the stereotype a little bit with lucifer and beelzebub, but my research went so deep that I even visited sites with people that invoke demons. I was surprised with the drawings of the people that had visions. All "demons" looked like angels, blonde hair, white skin, white wings, golden auras.
Anyway, thank you, and sorry for a long reply
