⦻ Demon #5: The Mad King Solomon ⦻
Okay so as a quick aside, remember how I said oracles usually never know they’re being oracles? Even the writers of
the Godzilla NES Creepypasta don’t know what this means. But I do. Disney’s Robin Hood came out in 1973 - a tale about King Solomon finding love again with Hecate, accompanied by Osiris as Little John.
Anyway, did you know that King Solomon made a ton of mistakes? Much moreso than I have. He used forced labour, implemented heavy taxes, all the lavish things he had people build helped bankrupt his country. He also married a couple women who worshipped Moloch and Chemosh, who are, as I have already learned, the same entity. Interesting, how that lines up with the Sphynx and Borrasca today, as well as the evil ambitions of the golden buffalo.
So, then, why am I working with Solomon and why do I hold him in such high regard? For one, he has successfully completed the Buddhist tenet of stopping and changing his ways, even if death was the event that prompted that. That is the meaning of Robin Hood - he knows that he took way more than his share from The Circle of Life, and is unhappy to see that such a thing is all too common. Solomon is a vengeful demon, but vengeful for the right reasons.
For another, he isn’t solely guilty for these things. He does bear the blame for being too greedy, yes, but he was also handed the throne at only 18 years old. He hadn’t had a whole lot of time or training to help him be a better king. It’s a nuanced issue. And, when it comes to Moloch, Solomon was attempting to do what I’ve been attempting to do. Getting to learn all about demons and knowing their personalities. Like me, he was a scholar at heart. So, when he married wives who worshipped Moloch, he didn’t know any better. Additionally, as I’ve gotten to know Moloch better over the course of tonight, I have realized yet more things about him that probably make Solomon at least a little more innocent.
So, if there are so many parallels between myself and King Solomon, why am I looking into Moloch more? Don’t I fear him, or fear what could happen if I take deep dives?
Frankly, no.
I have key advantages that Solomon didn’t have. He had no training for dealing with Moloch, nothing to help him discern who is trustworthy and who isn’t, and he lacked the information contained in The Bible of All of the Above, and The Bible of None of the Above. Hardly any of those were written yet. The Bible of all of the Above is the various Biblical canons, such as The Bible, The Torah, The Quran, and other ancient worx such as The Odyssey. The Bible of None of the Above is almost everything else, from books of The Bible that are considered non-canon, to the writings of today, though there are a rare few I would consider to be too evil to be included. Too close to the thinkings of Moloch. Working through various people, Solomon himself has authored a ton of The Bible of None of the Above. He has prepared for me the greatest meal of all, delicious creepypasta! Hence, him being my favourite character from probably the most fun one - Godzilla NES ::3 In the words of the great Baphomet, “As Above, So Below.” Solomon also lacked helpful tools against Moloch’s mind control, such as antidepressants, binaural meditation, and cartoons. Hell, he even lacked friendship with Jesus, as it would be a long while yet before Jesus would be born.
And yes, you read that right. Moloch has mind control abilities. He shows people horrific visions, in order to drive them to either great acts of ultraviolence, or madness. It also sews division and makes people hate you, if you have such visions. If you’re not careful about how you talk to people about such things, you can easily end up in a mental institution with a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia. The worst part? You are telling your visions to people you thought you could trust, and seeking help for what you think are mental health issues. And I mean, they are. Moloch will try to drive you to the worst of things. But anyone who has been paying attention, should know that seeking help for mental health issues here in the US is a crapshoot, and in most other countries, it’s even worse.
But I have nothing to fear but fear itself. I’ve been learning about Moloch for well over a decade, I just didn’t know it. I have taken myself through multiple Moloch simulations, even during the hours at which he is most powerful (the middle of the night) and the only harm that befell me was some mild paranoia, which I now have meds to help me with. Because, when you have incurable cancer and your chemo causes you existentially terrifying pain, things that scare most other people cease to be scary to you. Though, I was brave even before that, as I have been following the Slenderman mythos since 2009. Guess what that’s really about, and guess who bravely watched Slenderman videos in the dead middle of the night? Ya boi >::3
The way to study Moloch is to keep your distance. Solomon couldn’t do that. I can!
