Azanigin, patron of the few

Azanigin, also referred to as “Mother of All Demons”, is a fairly obscure demon within demonology. She is said to embody all the qualities of fertility goddesses although she has a darker side in the form of vampiric attributes. Azanigin is said to have existed early before the advent of solar entities and sun-based deities – she is a lunar demon with Saturnian influences.

This demon is described as a feminine force who can be summoned for the attainment of vampiric attainment. Liber 333 states the following regarding this demon “key to vampiric attainment is communion with AZANIGIN. The death experienced in initiation is followed by the rain of mercy that AZANIGIN will give to you. Only the worthy will receive her gift of the highest red elixir. You will come to know her as your mother. It is in the infinite black of her womb that our rebirth takes form.“

From the above statement, it is evident that there is a sinister side to this demon as associated with vampirism. There is a Baphometic meaning to this demon as well tied with the notion of sacrifice and bloodletting. The demon impacts upon one’s psychology as they are forced to confront their shortcomings thereby impacting upon their ego.

History

It is noteworthy that this demon is not mentioned within most mainstream grimories. Similarly, there are no mentions of Azanigin within old Graeco-Roman or ancient Middle Eastern mythologies. She is only stated to be third in command to the god of fire as well as the initiator of the cthonic bloodline within ancient classical text. It is also suggested that there may be some relation between Azanigin and Baphomet or that they could both be brides of Satanas within the underworld realm.

The status of this demon as representing the early fertility of the earth prior to the advent of agricultural cultures and pantheons that were more focused on solar worship. The most defining statement offered for the origins of this demon is “Mother of all demons who lie waiting in Earth in the pantheon of the Order of the Nine Angels.”
