DEMON SPIRITS:
ABADDON
"THE DESTROYER"
(PTSD DREAMS)
Abaddon
Also
Known as Apollyon
"The Destroyer"
Abaddon has no single, canonical physical description in primary biblical or ancient texts, as the name originally refers more to a place of destruction (the Abyss) than a detailed entity.
Over time, however, occult traditions, grimoires, demonology, and modern artistic interpretations have given Abaddon vivid attributes, forms, and familiars.
These draw heavily from Revelation 9:7–11, where Abaddon rules over a plague of monstrous locusts.
Key Attributes & Powers
Abaddon embodies destruction plague torment judgment & the Abyss
(bottomless pit).
In occult and esoteric traditions, he is associated with:
Colors:
Blood red, brown, and green.
Elements:
Winter, the month of January, Saturday.
Themes:
Intuition, sacrifice, challenge.
Symbols:
The ruby and the sword.
Role:
Prince of the Seventh Hierarchy of Demons (the Furies/Erinyes), governing evil, discord, war, and devastation; often equated with high-ranking destroyers like Samael or aspects of Satan.
He commands overwhelming force rather than subtlety, unleashing swarms for torment (non-lethal in biblical accounts, but agonizing).
Familiars
Abaddon's primary "familiars" or servants are the demonic locust horde from Revelation 9:7–10.
These are not ordinary insects but terrifying hybrid creatures resembling:
Winged war-horses
Crowned human faces
Women's long hair
Lions' teeth
Iron breastplates
Tails like scorpions' stingers
used to torment
Unsealed humans for five months
These apocalyptic locusts and Abaddon's command over them:
These swarms act as his army, following him like loyal subjects, and symbolize chaotic, unstoppable devastation.
Appearance in Demon Form
Traditional biblical texts give no direct description of Abaddon himself, but occult literature and art often portray him as a large, imposing humanoid infused with locust/insectoid or apocalyptic features, emphasizing terror and authority.
Common elements include:
Massive, muscular build with dark, shadowy, or armored presence
Locust-like traits
Wings, chitinous armor, scorpion elements
Monstrous features:
Multiple arms/horns/mouths in some extreme depictions, bat-like wings, pointed ears, cloven hooves, or a scorpion tail.
Overwhelming dark aura
Often armored as a king of destruction.
Appearance in Human Form
Abaddon has no fixed biblical human guise, but in possession-based lore (e.g., modern fiction or grimoires involving incarnation/crossing the Abyss), he may appear as an attractive, tall, fair-skinned humanoid to blend in or deceive.
Some depictions add subtle infernal hints like a scorpion tail, horse-like lower body, or an aura of dread. In certain stories, he takes forms that are deceptively handsome yet terrifying.
Examples of more Humanoid
Or "human-adjacent" interpretations:
These are largely artistic and interpretive—Abaddon's true "form" remains mysterious and symbolic, fitting his role as the ultimate agent of ruin and the unknown depths of the Abyss. In occult practice, evoking him often focuses on his destructive power rather than a fixed image.
In occult grimoires and later demonological traditions, **Abaddon** (the biblical "angel of the Abyss" or "Destroyer" from Revelation 9:11) is sometimes equated or closely associated with **Samael** (the "Venom/Poison of God," often the angel of death and accuser in Jewish mysticism) and **Asmodeus** (the demon of lust, wrath, and destruction from the Book of Tobit and Solomonic lore).
These identifications are not always direct one-to-one equivalences but arise from shared themes of destruction, death, divine wrath, and infernal hierarchy. They reflect syncretism in Renaissance and post-Renaissance occultism, where biblical, Kabbalistic, and apocryphal figures were blended into demonic classifications.
Connections in Broader Occult Tradition
Many secondary sources on demonology describe Abaddon as a high-ranking demon of the underworld or abyss, frequently identified with Samael (as a figure of death and destruction) or even Satan himself.
Asmodeus is occasionally linked due to overlapping destructive or judgmental roles, though the connection is weaker and sometimes explicitly noted as unproven.
Abaddon and Samael
Abaddon is repeatedly called the "angel of death and destruction" and "chief of demons of the underworld hierarchy," where he is equated with Samael (or Satan).
This stems from Jewish mystical traditions where Samael embodies severity, accusation, and lethal judgment, mirroring Abaddon's apocalyptic role as the ruler of tormenting forces.
Abaddon and Asmodeus
Some theologians and demonologists asserted an identity between Abaddon and Asmodeus (the "demon of impurity" or destroyer), but this is described as asserted yet "not proved."
Asmodeus shares destructive traits (e.g., killing husbands in the Book of Tobit), but his primary domain is lust and vengeance, differing from Abaddon's focus on the Abyss and plagues.
These overlaps appear in encyclopedic works on demonology, influenced by Kabbalistic ideas where Samael rules evil forces, with Asmodeus sometimes as his subordinate.
In Cornelius Agrippa's Works
**Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa
(in his influential
Three Books of Occult Philosophy
(1531–1533) is credited with equating
Abaddon explicitly with Apollyon
(the Greek "Destroyer" from Revelation)
And positioning him as a planetary or hierarchical monarch—specifically in the lower shadow of Venus (linked to the Kabbalistic sephirah Netzach).
Agrippa draws on Revelation to describe Apollyon/Abaddon unleashing demonic locusts for torment, framing him as a force of judgment and devastation. Agrippa does not directly equate Abaddon with Samael or
Asmodeus in surviving texts, but his classifications of demons (by hierarchies, planets, and powers) influenced later works that did make such connections.
In Francis Barrett's The Magus
(1801)
Francis Barrett's *The Magus* heavily draws from Agrippa (often plagiarizing sections) and compiles demon hierarchies from earlier sources.
Abaddon appears as one of the "evil demons," illustrated in color plates (often alongside figures like Astaroth and Mammon), and is classified as a high-ranking entity—sometimes as prince of war or linked to the seventh hierarchy of demons (the Furies, governing evil, discord, war, and devastation). Barrett places Abaddon in infernal orders influenced by Agrippa, Peter of Abano, and others.
While *The Magus* does not explicitly state "Abaddon = Samael" or "Abaddon = Asmodeus," it contributes to the tradition where Abaddon is a chief destroyer, aligning him conceptually with Samael's deathly role or Asmodeus's vengeful one.
In some classifications Barrett adopts or echoes (e.g., from medieval lists like *The Lanterne of Light*), Abaddon ranks separately (e.g., fourth in a sin-based hierarchy over sloth), while Asmodeus is seventh (over lechery), showing distinction but shared infernal princely status.
Summary of Equivalences
These grimoires and related traditions treat Abaddon, Samael, and Asmodeus as overlapping archetypes of destruction and infernal power rather than identical beings:
Abaddon
Abyss ruler, apocalyptic tormentor, destroyer
Samael
Angel/demon of death, poison, accusation (strongest equivalence)
Asmodeus
Lust, vengeance, destroyer
(weaker, debated link)
This blending highlights how Renaissance occultists synthesized biblical, Jewish mystical, and Christian apocalyptic sources into a unified demonic cosmology.
For visual context, here are classic illustrations from *The Magus* depicting Abaddon among other demons:
(Depiction of Abaddon as a fearsome, monstrous figure in infernal regalia, emphasizing his destructive nature.)
(Another plate from Barrett showing Abaddon alongside Astaroth and Mammon, highlighting his place in demonic hierarchies.)
These associations remain influential in modern occultism, though interpretations vary widely between scholarly, mystical, and fictional uses.
Abaddon (Hebrew: אֲבַדּוֹן, meaning "destruction" or "doom"; Greek: Apollyon, meaning "Destroyer") is a biblical and mythological figure most prominently featured in the New Testament's Book of Revelation as the "angel of the bottomless pit" (Abyss), ruler over a horde of demonic locusts unleashed during the fifth trumpet judgment in the end times
In Revelation 9:11, it states: "They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon." These locusts—described with human faces, lions' teeth, iron breastplates, and scorpion tails—torment unbelievers (those without God's seal) for five months but cannot kill them, causing such agony that people seek death in vain
Biblical Origins and Dual Nature
Old Testament Abaddon first appears as a *place* of destruction, often paired with Sheol (the underworld or grave).
It's referenced six times (e.g., Job 26:6: "Naked is Sheol before God, and Abaddon has no covering"; Proverbs 15:11, Psalm 88:11), symbolizing inevitable ruin or the realm of the dead, not yet personified.
New Testament Shift:
Revelation personifies Abaddon as an angelic entity (not explicitly fallen), king of the Abyss—a prison for demons and fallen angels (cf. Luke 8:31, Revelation 20:1-3).
Some interpreters see it as a servant of God executing judgment, distinct from Satan (who is bound separately in Revelation 20), while others link it to Satan, the Antichrist, or a high-ranking demon like one of the "rulers of darkness" (Ephesians 6:12)
Demonology and Occult Interpretations
In later Jewish, Christian, and occult traditions, Abaddon evolves into a demonic prince:
Apocryphal/Gnostic Texts
In the 3rd-century *Acts of Thomas*, Abaddon is a demon or the Devil. The *Enthronement of Abaddon* (pseudo-Timothy of Alexandria) portrays it as the angel Muriel, who gathered earth for Adam's creation, became his guardian, and inspired universal fear—even among angels and demons
Demon Hierarchies
Chief of the seventh hierarchy of demons (Furies/Erinyes), prince of locusts/grasshoppers, angel of death, or king above Satan/Lucifer in some views.
Equated with Samael or Asmodeus in grimoires like *The Magus* (Francis Barrett) or Agrippa's works
Powers
Commands plagues, swarms, necromancy, and chaos; invoked for curses, destruction, or crossing the Abyss in modern occultism (e.g., *ABADDON: The Angel of the Abyss* grimoire).
Debate persists: Is Abaddon a holy destroyer (like the Passover angel in Exodus 12:23) or evil? Biblical context leans toward the former—tormenting only the unsealed—making it an agent of divine wrath, not rebellion
In Literature & Culture
Classic Works
Battles the pilgrim Christian as Apollyon in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (1678); appears in Song of Roland & Milton's Paradise Regained as Hell's pit.
Abaddon's ambiguity—as place, angel, or demon—reflects themes of judgment, the Abyss, and destruction in Abrahamic lore, evolving from abstract ruin to a fearsome entity.
