Nisroc is an alleged Assyrian deity who is both a holy angel and a demon of hell. In both forms, he has specific roles given to him. He is also referred to as either the god of the moon or agriculture, depending on the source. His name may mean “one who hears”. Other variations are Nisroch and Nesroch.
Appearances:
As a demon in Paradise lost, a well-known poem by John Milton, Nisroc is described as a demon who frowns a lot and wears a beaten armor. Other lores describe him as a griffin-demon.
Abilities:
- • As a demon, he is the head cook of hell who is in charge of all the delicacies and meals of the princes of hell.
- In most lore, he is ascribed as the god of agriculture with the ability to grant a good and bountiful harvest to farmers.
- •As an angel, he is the angel of freedom who rescues those bound and in captivity whether literal or figuratively.
About:
Nisorch is notable in different lores ranging from Talmudic, to Hebrew even to works of arts both literal and figurative.
In Talmudic Lore:
Nisroch as a name in the Talmud is gotten from the Hebrew word “Neser” which is the name of the plank found by King Sennacherib on his return to Assyria from Judah where he went to conquer. It is said that the plank is a remnant from the original ark of Noah thus King Sennacherib worshiped it as an idol after being told of this by top sages.
In Hebrew lore/the old testament: According to the old testament or the Hebrew Bible, Nisroc is an Assyrian god which King Sennacherib was worshiping when he was murdered by his sons Adammelech and Sharezer in the books 2Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38.
Nisroch as a demon: Nisroch is a fallen angel who became fully recognized as an infernal being in the sixteenth century. It was Johann Weyer who actually outlined Nisroc as a demon cook of hell. John Milton also made mention of Nosrac as a demon in his poem titled: Paradise lost.
In this poem, Nisroc was mentioned as a demon with a frown look and he wears a beaten armor. He questions Satan’s argument that the fight between the angels and demons is equal. Nisroc also objects that demons can feel pain.
In works of art and literature:
In Edith Nesbit’s classic 1906 children’s novel “The Story of the Amulet” the children call upon an eagle-headed “Nisroch” to guide them. Nisroch opens a portal and advises them, “Walk forward without fear” and asks,
“Is there aught else that the Servant of the great Name can do for those who speak that name?”
Other modern works on art history still repeat the old misidentification of Nisroc as an Eagle headed demon but Near Eastern scholars now generally refer to the “Nisroch” figure as a “griffin-demon”.
Nisroch as an angel:
As an angel of God, Nisroc rules the order of principalities who are the fifth level of angels in the Christian lore. Angel Nisroc is also known as “the great eagle.” His flight into the Heavens is the symbol of freedom. On the physical level, there is freedom to travel where ever one desires and be safe from harm, to be able to say whatever one feels and make choices for oneself.
As one goes deeper into his or her awareness, freedom becomes the ability to feel the unconditional love of the Eternal. The Angel of Freedom, Nisroc, helps people breakthrough negative mind-sets and beliefs that stop them from moving forward, allowing one to see, thing and feel differently about who he or she is and what he or she came to the earth to do. For one to be truly free and connected to the Angel Nisroc’s blessing of freedom, he should always say this prayer of affirmation:
“Above all, I AM truthful with myself about my aspirations in Life.”
There is another prayer which can be made to the angel of freedom Nisroc in times of difficulty to plead for his help and assistance. It reads thus:
“Angel of Freedom, there is so much that I desire to do in this Life. There are so many people that I long to effect in a positive way. Help me to find this Truth and move toward it with certainty and confidence.“
When one has the courage to face the intensity of several denied feelings and break through, Angel Nisroc brings a feeling of elation, elevation, freedom, bliss, soaring and conquest. Carried on his wings of truth, one will ultimately find the freedom to reveal his or her eternal Self.
