i lost my soul dog, my soulmate, best friend and son on monday and it’s been really hard because as a witch i tune in and i can feel him, sense him psychically around, however part of me refuses to trust any of it out of the logical fact that im just really missing him and wanting him to be here. therefore i’ve been actively taking a break from my witchy time so i can properly allow myself to grieve and feel things.

Marchosias

One of the demonic goddesses and is part of the Goetia. She serves under High King Leviathan and is one of the most formidable of the demons. This information was allowed to me by this dark deity.

Rulerships: beasthood, vengeance, and violent mutilation of enemies

History: Marchosias does not allow her history to be known, only that she was recruited into Leviathan’s kingdom, is the most ancient of the wolf demons, and that she enjoys nothing but killing.

Rank: Marquis

Element: Strife, Fire, and Void

Colours: Dark Red with shades of Black

Appearance: An enormous wolf-demon with fur that is darker than black; her fur is not at all soft but is razor-sharp like thorns. She has three fierce-red eyes (the third eye is on forehead and is vertical). Her body is similar in appearance to the Scourge Beasts of Bloodborne- she has human-shaped hands ending in large talons (like that of a vulture), and her back feet look like those of a saber-tooth tiger, also ending in large talons. She has a long tail made of flames, and has a metallic-bronze tongue that is very sharp and spews fire. If someone is ever punctured by her tongue, the wound will never properly heal. The stomach of Marchosias is opened up, which allows living flesh to come out of her like tendrils. If an enemy happens to escape her teeth, her open-stomach can act as a second mouth.

Very rarely, Marchosias may appear in the form of a woman, but she is still extremely hostile, especially towards any humans who try to seduce her.

Personality: Marchosias does not fear anything. She is wrathful, feral, and enjoys the thrill of killing, savouring the pain and fear of her prey. She will also bear grudges that last for the whole lifetime of a human if one ever tries to force her to do anything (including anything sexual). Her grudges are also not to be taken lightly since she is one of the most terrifying of all demons. She is even one of the very few things that manticores are afraid of (the extremely malevolent beings that kill whatever they come across). She has slaughtered a great many of these creatures; their ferocity is nothing compared to her own. She also likes to prowl within labyrinths and feast upon any stray being she comes across.

Additionally, Marchosias typically will not help humans, she will only assist in certain cases of revenge. Otherwise, she does not like to be bothered. Also, she will refuse to help those who are weak at heart; but there are a few exceptions for this. The exceptions are as follows: those who were made weak by force from another person (weakened through trauma), children or adolescents who suffered great brutality, and those who have been temporarily made weak through circumstances beyond their control (a person with a generally strong personality who has fallen into unfortunate circumstances). Anyone else who is weak at heart will not be helped or listened to by Marchosias since she despises such qualities. She will also refuse to carry out petty vengeance, such as acts of jealous anger towards girlfriends/boyfriends. Only those who are desiring to punish a truly worthy target might be heard.

Overall, remember that Marchosias is not a demon to be worked with. She is not a mentor and highly dislikes speaking often to humans. She is also to always be treated with respect, never in a friendly manner or to treat her as if she is “cute”. Only call upon her when you are wishing to punish someone who has done great wrong.

What she can help with: Revenge only. One can try to request Marchosias’ vengeance upon an enemy, but shouldn’t expect her to listen. Marchosias does as she pleases and will only assist if she views that the request is not based on petty revenge, the human calling upon her is respectable, and if she feels the request is worth her time. Her revenge is swift and horrific; any sort of corrupt person (including abusers) will be punished in the most suitable way, causing their lives to become utter torment.

Her Enn (only use to call her in times of need): “Es na ayer Marchosias Secore”

Offerings: blackened silver, dark rubies, her sigil made from pure silver

*Marchosias will not normally accept offerings, only from very few exceptions of people. If she decides to take vengeance on your behalf, an offering might be given if possible. But overall, she wants to be left alone. Also, she is not honoured through violence just because she represents mutilation of enemies; this is her own role.

AMPHITRITE

WHO IS SHE?

Amphitrite is the goddess of the sea and Queen of the sea in Greek mythology, and one of the 50 (or 100) daughters (the Nereids) of Nereus and Doris (the daughter of Oceanus). She is also the wife of the god of the sea, Poseidon. Amphitrite is a powerful and revered goddess associated with the sea and ocean, and is often depicted as a beautiful woman with long hair and a dress made of seashells or sea plants. She is known for her gentle and nurturing nature, and is believed to have the ability to calm the seas and bring peace and tranquility to those who seek her help.

BASIC INFO: 

Appearance: Amphitrite was depicted in Greek vase painting as a young woman, often raising her hand in a pinching gesture. Sometimes she was shown holding a trident or fish. In mosaic art the goddess usually rides beside her husband in a chariot drawn by fish-tailed horses or hippokampoi. Sometimes her hair is enclosed with a net and her brow adorned with a pair of crab-claw "horns".

Personality: it is difficult to know for certain what Amphitrite's personality was like with her devotees, as she is not as well-known as some of the other Greek gods and goddesses. However, based on the myths and legends, she is often described as a calm, regal, and dignified figure, who is both beautiful and powerful. She is also known for her loyalty and devotion to her husband, Poseidon, and is said to be protective of the sea and its creatures. It is possible that Amphitrite was also seen as a nurturing and caring deity, who would watch over and protect her devotees.

Siblings: Nerites, the Nereids (or the river gods), and the Oceanids

Partner: Poseidon (married)

Children: Triton, Rhode, Kymopoleia, Benthesikyme (also seals, dolphins, fish, and shellfish)

MISC:

Dolphins: they are often associated with Amphitrite because she is the goddess of the sea, and she is said to be the mother of many seas creatures, especially dolphins. Dolphins were seen as playful and intelligent sea creatures, and they are associated with fertility and were seen as companions to fishermen and sailors, guiding them to safe harbours and warding off storm and sea monsters.

The sea: Amphitrite is associated with the sea because she is the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology. She is the wife of Poseidon and the daughter of Nereus and Doris, who were both sea nymphs or sea deities. According to myth, Amphitrite was the Queen of the sea and the ruler of the sea nymphs. She was also known as the wife of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the mother of several sea creatures, including the nymphs of saltwater and fresh water.

Trident: in Greek mythology, the trident is associated with Amphitrite because it is the weapon of her and Poseidon’s choice. The trident is a three-pronged weapon that is said to have been given to Poseidon by the sea god Nereus, and it is said to have been used by Poseidon to control the sea and command the sea creatures. The trident is also associated with power, royalty, and oceanic authority.

Fish: they are associated with Amphitrite because she was the goddess of the sea and all marine life, including fish. She was known for her control and power over the sea, and was also believed to be the mother of many sea creatures, including fish. They are also seen as a symbol of fertility and abundance, as the sea was considered to be the source of life and creation.

FACTS ABOUT AMPHITRITE:

When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite's hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king.

She was said to be the mother of seals, dolphins, fish, and shellfish.

The story of Amphitrite marrying Poseidon is also the story of the constellation Delphinus. As thanks, Poseidon placed the dolphin up in the sky as the constellation. 

Her name is probably derived from the Greek words amphis and tris, "the surrounding third." Her son, Triton, was similarly named "of the third." Clearly "the third" is the sea, although the reason for the term is obscure. Amphitrite was essentially the same as the primordial sea-goddess Thalassa. Her Roman equivalent was Salacia whose name means "the salty one."

It is said that her voice alone can calm Poseidon in his most vicious fits of rage.

Amphitrite may be a calming and kind deity, but don't test her patients and please don't oppose as a threat to her. Disrespecting this goddess can end up with your life being flipped upside down as she holds quite a lot of power.

It’s stated in myths that Amphitrite’s voice is the only thing that can calm her husband’s mightiest rages and lull him to a deep slumber so the ocean could be back at peace.

Asteroid 29 Amphitrite was named after her. 

HOW TO INVOKE AMPHITRITE:

To invoke Amphitrite, you can set up an altar or sacred space dedicated to her, using symbols and items associated with the sea and the ocean. You can light a gold, blue, or green candle and use seashells, sea glass, or other items collected from the beach as offerings to her. You can use sea salt in your ritual space and incorporate the sound of waves or ocean sounds into your invocation. Some people also find it helpful to focus on the image of Amphitrite as they enter into a trance or meditative state to connect with her energy.

Fern's introduction to: Nehalennia

Nehalennia is a Goddess associated with sea-trade, prosperity, the harvest, and the North Sea. She is also a psychopomp. She was revered in Zeeland in the Netherlands, near the Rhine in Germany, and in England. We are not sure if Nehalennia was Germanic, Celtic, or Roman. The name points towards Roman, but she was likely a local Goddess that was given a Romanized name.

We know Nehalennia due to altar stones that have been found near Colijnsplaat, Zeeland. Symbols often found on the stones are dogs (symbols of the underworld), baskets of apples, pears, and bread (harvest and prosperity), a ship's wheel or ship's bow, a shell shaped ceiling, and a distinct short cape that Nehalennia wears on all her stones. She is also often depicted in the same style as the Germanic Matronae, or Mothers, and in some stones from Trier in the same triad as the Matronae. For this reason she is also thought of as a Mothergoddess.

The stones were dedicated by seafaring tradespeople as payment for a safe passage, often to England. They sold fish sauce, salt, and wine. The first set of stones were discovered in 1645 when a hug storm eroded part of the coast. There were no museums or historical societies back then, so the stones were displayed in a church. Tucked into the back, they were underneath a leaky roof and covered in moss. A few years later, the church was struck by lightning and burned down, and the stones were lost. Luckily sketches and drawings of the stones were still preserved.

Then, on the 14th of March in 1970 a fisherman found a strange stone in his fishing nets. Instead of throwing it back, he called the historical society in Leyden, and started fishing for more stones. Together over the course of a few months they found over 150 votive stones and fragments, all dedicated to Nehalennia. This is when she emerged again from both the see and from obscurity, and why I celebrate Nehalennia Resurfacing on this date.

Fragments found of the temple itself indicate that there were probably fresh water wells, where the boats could get the drinking water they needed for their journey over the North Sea. A replica of the temple (smaller and without wells) is open to the public on Colijnsplaat.

As stated Nehalennia is a Goddess of trade over sea, of the harvest and prosperity, and she is a psychopomp, bringing the souls of the departed to the Otherworld.

Because of her realm of sea travel I associate with her: lighthouses, storms, the stars (navigation), shells, grey pearls and moonstone, sailing and boating, protection, selkies, merfolk, knotmagic, sea magic.

Because of her realm of harvest I associate with her: apples, baskets and cornucopias, wheat and grain, bread, nature, fields, growth, prosperity both physical and spiritual, bonfires, harvest festivals, fertility.

Because of her role as a psychopomp I associate with her: dogs, the cycle of death and life (see also, harvest), a safe voyage to a land over the sea (for example, Avalon), traveling through the realms, protection.

I see Nehalennia as the Wildmother, (a name I had for her before Critical Role). She is the Goddess of land and sea, of abundance and life. She is a warm and loving parent that protects, but does let you figure things out for yourself. She is a deep tie to my land and the people who have lived here before. Hail the Lady of the North Sea, Nehalennia Hail!

Eurynome

Goddess of the sea and marine life

Tiamat, the arch-dragon goddess, was forming the first lifeforms in the sea to begin evolution during the very early years of the Earth. When she saw how wonderful her creations were and felt immense love for the world, this love sparked a new goddess to be born. This goddess emerged from the Queen of Heaven (the supreme, formless goddess) as a manifestation of hers and formed through Tiamat, making her connected to them both. This goddess was Eurynome, one of the Queens of the Sea. As a Queen of the Sea, along with Tiamat and Tethys, Eurynome embodies the sea and has a lot of influence in governing it. Her name, Eurynome, translates in ancient Greek as “the wide law”, showing that she governs the whole sea. However, this was mistranslated in modern times and she was mistaken as a land goddess.

The primordial form of Eurynome is of an enormous hydra with dark scales and many tentacles coming from her. But she also appears as a beautiful woman with black hair when she wishes. Soon after Eurynome was born, the sea itself granted to the goddess two dazzling gifts of oceanic royalty: a tiara with shining blue gems and a white scepter topped with a giant moonstone. These also represented her closeness to the sea, for she is one with it. Eurynome soon began using the tiny lifeforms made by Tiamat to create thousands upon thousands of sea life. She created the vast majority of the creatures and plants within the oceans, making her their Mother. All the life of the sea adores her. The creatures of the sea often speak to Eurynome with their thoughts, and the whales sing lovingly of her. Although Eurynome is not the mother-goddess of the mermaids, since these beings were created by a different goddess.

There is not one thing in the sea that Eurynome dislikes, she adores everything; no matter how terrifying they would be to others. She is the alluring woman who swims gracefully through the ocean and is carried by whales, and she is also the enormous creature of the depths. She represents both the incredible beauty and allure of the sea and also its mysteriousness and ancient darkness. The husband of Eurynome ended up being a sea god named Proteus, a deity whose primordial form is of a giant seahorse with tentacles, and who could glide peacefully over the waves. He would also appear as a handsome man when he wished. Usually, Eurynome has her home underwater where she dwells among strange rock formations. But sometimes, she will come to temporarily dwell on an island around other large rock formations.

An interesting thing about Eurynome that might not be expected is that she mostly eats seafood, despite sea creatures being her own children. This is a natural thing to her and is basically how Mother Nature is; she gives life and she takes it. She loves her children, but does at times consume some of them, and allows humans to do the same as long as they do not become greedy or cruel. Unfortunately, humans quickly became cruel to both land and sea, becoming monsters who demonized and degraded everything but themselves. But even despite all this trauma, Eurynome refuses to give up on her children and remains with them always. She does not often reach out to humans, but will make herself known to those who truly love and respect the sea.

Appearance: a beautiful and graceful woman in her late 30’s with long, wavy black hair, grey eyes, fair skin, curved black horns, and normally doesn’t wear anything. Though sometimes, she will wear some sort of decorations made from seashells to slightly cover parts of her body. In her hydra form, she has dark scales and numerous heads. She also has many tentacles coming from her body. Although Eurynome is able to take many oceanic forms and can even look like a formless mass of tendrils or a giant sea monster with large teeth and a lower body that spans out as tentacles.

Personality: Eurynome is elegant, charming, mysterious, compassionate, motherly, and generally peaceful. She holds all the grace and might of the sea within her, but often chooses to remain serene unless angered. Eurynome also spends much of her time around her children, who follow close to her, but she will also venture into strange places of the sea that are dark and unknowable. Other times, Eurynome often enjoys singing, her voice is hauntingly beautiful and attracts the attention of any creatures that hear her. Some things that Eurynome loves besides the ocean and her children include enchanting singing, moonlight on water, ancient underwater ruins, whale song, harps, ocean caves, collecting seashells, and all of nature.

Though when enraged, Eurynome becomes monstrous and horrifying. Her fury impacts the very sea and causes it to rage with her; the goddess’ fury can drown entire ships or she can bring terrible (even fatal) curses upon those on land. She will only approach those who love and respect the sea, and who do not wrongfully harm her children.

Nowadays, millions of years since the birth of Eurynome, the sea is not what it once was. Many of the ancient beings within have been killed by humans and Jehovah, the Aeonic god who sought to claim Earth as his own. And those creatures that survived are either always in hiding or always struggling to stay safe. The waters have become toxic and treacherous, and many creatures are regarded as mere animals by mankind when plenty are quite sentient. Eurynome tries to protect all of her children and becomes fiercely angry at those who pollute their home or kill creatures that should not be harmed (which are the very sentient ones). She has even been known to target whalers and kills them in various ways due to her extreme hatred towards them. She does the same for those who hunt sharks, be it for sport or to kill them just to eat their fins. Eurynome has said that many known creatures of the sea (especially whales, sharks, dolphins, and octopi) are far more advanced to her than humans are. And she says that all animals, both on land and sea, are never mindless and have the ability to communicate. The creatures may not be able to verbally speak human language, but they understand much more than people have given them credit for, and they are generally peaceful unlike humans.

Devotional actions: donate to sea protection groups, volunteer to clean beaches, and do rituals for her on the beach or at sea. Sing to her while near the ocean, allowing your emotions to be full of love for her and her children.

Offerings: carbonated water, lemonade, tropical fruit juices, seafood, seaweed, sushi, pasta with shrimp, papayas, mangoes, pineapple, watermelon, kamu kamu, cucumbers, courgetti, sea salt, pearls, coral, seashells, starfish, urchins, crab shells, shark teeth, trilobite fossils, smooth beach pebbles, orchids, pitcher plants, hibiscus, elegant silver jewelry, pearl jewelry, beautiful seashell jewelry, antique silver hand-held mirrors, perfume of floral with sea breeze scent, arched hair combs, antique jewelry boxes, antique music boxes (with beautiful melodies), silver foil in oil, blue sapphire, amazonite, opaline, rainbow moonstone, red scoria, pumice, obsidian, basalt, other volcanic rocks, white or pale blue candles, hydra statues, whale figurines, plesiosaur figurines, sharks, octopi, dolphins, manta rays, seahorses, fish, and other sea creature figurines.

*no octopus or sharkfin, she refuses to eat these and gets angry

*no alcohol, this is hard for beings of the sea to process due to its strong land connections

Poseidon Thalassios

“Belonging to the Sea” or “Protector of Marine Life” — θαλάσσιος ; this epithet calls to Poseidon’s connection and association with marine life. As ruler and king of the seas he automatically holds a position over the safe guarding of all who call the ocean their home. He is known as ‘the father’ so in a way those who live and thrive within his domain are like his children, thus are under his protection.

POSEIDON

WHO IS HE?

Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea, floods, storms, droughts, water, horses, and earthquakes. He is one of the twelve Olympians, the children of Cronus and Rhea, and the brother of Hades, Demeter, Hestia, Zeus, and Hera.

BASIC INFO:

Sometimes he is shown riding a chariot pulled by horses, or riding a seahorse. Poseidon may also appear as a tall, muscular man with a flowing beard and long, thick hair.

Personality: he is a complex deity who can be both benevolent and vengeful. He is known for his temper and his fierce protectiveness of the sea and its creatures. Despite his fearsome reputation, with his devotees, Poseidon is said to be kind, understanding, and supportive, guiding them safely through the treacherous waters of life. He is also said to be a powerful protector, willing to defend those who worship him against harm.

Children: Orion, Antaeus, Triton, Polyphemus, Pegasos, Arcion, Theseus, Atlas, Neleus, Bellerophontes, and Chrysaor

MISC:

Horse: in Greek mythology, horses are often associated with Poseidon because they are said to have been created from the foam of his waves. Additionally, horses are a powerful and majestic creature, closely tied to nature and the gods, which fits in well with Poseidon's domain over the sea. Poseidon himself is often depicted riding in a golden chariot pulled by horses, and he has been known to command sea horses and other sea creatures, making the connection to horses even stronger.

Coral: it is associated with Poseidon due to his connection to the sea. Coral is a type of marine animal that forms colonies of limestone skeletons, often found in shallow, tropical waters. Poseidon, being the god of the sea, naturally has a close relationship with these creatures, which live in his dominion. Coral is often seen as a symbol of the god’s power and generosity, and it is believed to hold sacred and protective properties. In some myths, Poseidon is said to have given coral to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, as a gift for her beauty.

Wild celery: it was associated with Poseidon because it was used to crown victors at the Isthmian Games, which were held in Poseidon's honour. These games, which were held near Corinth, were a major sporting event in ancient Greece, featuring races and other athletic competitions

Pine: in Greek mythology, pine trees were associated with Poseidon primarily due to their wood being highly valued for shipbuilding and their resin (pine pitch) being used for waterproofing, sealing, and fire resistance on ships. Additionally, winners of the Isthmian Games, dedicated to Poseidon, were crowned with pine wreaths, and Poseidon's sacred groves were often composed of pine trees, particularly coastal varieties.

FACTS ABOUT POSEIDON:

According to the Greek poet Hesiod, Poseidon’s trident, like Zeus’s thunderbolt and Hades’ helmet, was fashioned by the three Cyclopes.

He was also worshipped as a fertility god. 

Poseidon helped build the walls of the city of Troy, but when King Laomedon refused the payment he had promised, Poseidon sent a sea monster to ravage the land.

As the god of earthquakes, Poseidon was also connected to dry land, and many of his oldest places of worship in Greece were inland, though these were sometimes centred on pools and streams or otherwise associated with water. In this aspect, he was known as enosichthon and ennosigaios(“earth-shaker”) and was worshipped as asphalios (“stabilizer”). 

Poseidon and Athena competed to become the patron deity of Athens. Poseidon struck the Acropolis with his trident, creating a saltwater spring, while Athena offered an olive tree. The Athenians chose Athena’s gift, but Poseidon was honoured in the Erechtheion.

He was instrumental in the Trojan War, supporting the Greeks. He was involved in the construction of Troy’s walls but, feeling cheated by King Laomedon, he sent a sea monster to attack Troy. However, Zeus commanded him to withdraw from the battlefield, and he reluctantly obeyed.

As the god of horses, Poseidon is thought likely to have been introduced to Greece by the earliest Hellenes, who also introduced the first horses to the country about the 2nd century BCE. Poseidon himself fathered many horses, best known of which was the winged horse, Pegasus. 

When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite's hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid away in the ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god, Delphin, eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king.

Medusa was seduced in the shape of a bird by Poseidon. They had two children—the giant Chrysaor and the winged horse Pegasos—both of which sprang from her severed neck when she was slain by Perseus.

Demeter fled the advances of Poseidon and hid among the herds of Onkios in the shape of a horse. Poseidon assumed the form of a stallion and coupled with her. From this union were born the goddess Despoine and the immortal horse Arcion.

Chant or sing prayers or Orphic hymen’s dedicated to Poseidon as you visualize the ocean and the power of Poseidon moving through the water.

LEVIATHAN

WHO IS HE?

In Demonic mythology, Leviathan is often considered a powerful demon that embodies chaos and destruction. He is often depicted as a sea serpent, dragon, or sea monster. He is believed to be a symbol of evil and the embodiment of all that is dark and destructive in the world. In some traditions, Leviathan is also associated with deep waters and the depths of the sea, and is often thought to have the ability to create immense storms.

BASIC INFO: 

Appearance: a massive, black or blue scaled serpentine-dragon with silver eyes that shine like stars; his body spans dozens of meters even when coiled. Leviathan usually keeps his eyes squinted when around others since if he fully opens them, it creates a massive blast of immense despair.

Personality: Leviathan values loyalty more than anything. He also values love, innocence, idealism, intelligence, and serenity. He is deeply ponderous and serious, and sometimes he can appear to be dire when overcome by despair. He is very meticulous and patient as well, and despite his dark and serious behaviour, he will show compassion towards those who are innocent. He usually prefers being alone and seldomly speaks to anyone, making him one of the most withdrawn demons. Leviathan is incredibly austere and diligent, as well as powerful. He is easily able to crush the psychologically defenses of armies just by approaching them. Leviathan is the ancient dragon who destroys all that is redundant (be it people, places, or ideas); he tears right through them but does not devour them. These things instead scatter apart over vast distances so that better things can come forth. Overall, Leviathan tends to be cold, calculating, dispassionate, and very reserved with most beings. He rarely speaks to anyone except only when necessary. Like every being, Leviathan has a shadow aspect, which is his darker and destructive side. This side emerges when Leviathan is overcome by his own grief, causing him to become cold, sadistic, and robotic in personality. This side of him is the one which created a race of entities which are very similar to the Cenobites mentioned in the books by Clive Barker. Leviathan creates these beings from select humans who are being tormented in his realm and transforms them into cold-natured beings who know nothing but pain and act as sado-masochistic torturers for Hell.

MISC:

Dragons: in many cultures, dragons are often seen as powerful and fearsome creatures, and are associated with deep waters and the sea. Similarly, Leviathan is also a powerful and fearsome creature associated with the sea. It is possible that the idea of Levianthian creatures, such as sea serpents or dragons, emerged from the same deep waters and mysterious depths of the sea that Leviathan was associated with.

Serpents: particularly sea serpents, are often associated with Leviathan due to the similar nature and behaviour of the two creatures. Both are often depicted as large, powerful, and fearsome creatures that are able to move through the water effortlessly and strike with great force. Serpents are also often associated with wisdom, healing, and transformation, which are qualities that are sometimes attributed to Leviathan as well.

The sea: in Jewish mythology, the sea is often seen as a place of chaos and danger, and is associated with the unknown and the untamed. Leviathan, as a powerful and fearsome sea creature, is seen as embodying this chaotic and dangerous aspect of the sea, and is often associated with the raw power and mystery of the natural world. This association with the sea and chaos is also seen in the story of the creation of the world in Jewish mythology, which is said to have been made from the deep and chaotic waters of the sea.

Chaos: in many religious and mythological traditions, chaos is seen as a primordial state of disorder and emptiness, out of which the world and all of creation were formed. Leviathan, as a powerful and fearsome sea creature, was seen as embodying this state of chaos and destruction, and was thought to represent the raw and untamed power of the natural world. This association with chaos and the untamed wild is also seen in other mythological creatures in Jewish traditions, such as the Behemoth, which is often portrayed as a huge and destructive beast that represents the untamed and uncontrollable forces of nature.

Seaweed: it is often associated with Leviathan and other sea creatures because it is commonly found in the sea and is an important part of the marine ecosystem. Seaweed is often found clinging to rocks and other structures in the sea, and is an important food source for many marine creatures. It is also seen as a sign of abundant life in the sea, as it requires a healthy and productive ocean ecosystem to thrive. In addition, seaweed is sometimes associated with the idea of hidden power and potential, as it may hold secrets or properties that are not immediately apparent.

FACTS ABOUT LEVIATHAN:

He enjoys being seen as more of a dragon than a demon. 

Leviathan can create tsunamis and create needles of water and skewer opponents.

He can manifest hellfire all over his body and incinerate his surroundings and targets at once.

Leviathan is one of the most powerful demons in Hell, personifying Envy which is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

As the demonic ruler of the seas, Leviathan possess unlimited control over the oceans and all who dwell within.

Chaos manipulation: Leviathan is often described as an embodiment of chaos. 

His ability allows him to travel across universes. 

HOW TO INVOKE LEVIATHAN:

Speak to King Leviathan as you would with any other god, be polite and considerate, especially since he is royalty. Contact him through telepathically speaking in your mind, directing the words to him (you can do this verbally, but if malicious spirits hear, they may pretend to be him). Try to dress formally as well, and do not demand things from him. For those who are depressed, please keep in mind that speaking to Leviathan causes you to become exposed to his energy, which will lead to your depression becoming worse. 

PRAYER FOR LEVIATHAN:

Great Leviathan, powerful and fierce, I come to you in humble admiration of your strength and might.

You are a reminder of the raw power of nature and the chaos that can exist within it. Help me to channel that strength within myself, and to use it for good and for the protection of those I care about.

Guide me, Great Leviathan, and watch over me with your all-seeing eye. Hail Great Leviathan.
