When they think of American supernatural entities, many people probably think of Neil Gaiman’s great fantasy novel American Gods. Since today is the American holiday of Independence Day, I wish to write about two actual American spiritual entities.
The goddess Libertas and the Statue of Liberty
Libertas is a Roman goddess and is the personification of liberty. She’s associated with freedom, especially the freedom of enslaved people. The Statue of Liberty was inspired by the goddess Libertas in not only name but appearance.
The Sigil of Astaroth
Astaroth is a sub-lunar being. Generally labeled a demon (Christians slander Pagan spirits or daemons by labeling them all evil), Astaroth is the patron entity of the Americas according to the Grimorium Verum. Astaroth’s name was derived from the goddess Astarte, the Phoenician name for the Sumerian goddess Inanna. Astaroth can grant knowledge of past, present, and future as well as of sciences and occult knowledge.
Blessed Be,
Frater Tenebris
