Hello, people! I’m back with another PAC reading, and this one is something I’ve never done before. I mean, it’s practically an experiment I did with the cards to see if tarot can give answers to questions like this, and this reading is the result. I hope you all enjoy it and give me some feedback too!
You are drawn to languages with history, culture, and timelessness. This pile is for the old souls, the dreamers, the ones who want to immerse themselves fully and not just in words, but in the stories, poetry, and philosophies of a people. The 10 of Pentacles shows that stability, legacy, and tradition call to you...languages that carry centuries of literature, philosophy, or sacred knowledge feel familiar, even if you’ve never spoken them. The Hierophant reinforces this (like literally again)... You crave structure, meaning, and wisdom, so the languages you pick will have depth and a spiritual or cultural resonance. And the 7 of Cups adds those dreamy, imaginative energy people... you could fall in love with the sound of a language alone, the way it looks in script/handwriting, or the aesthetic of a culture or as we say, "the vibe".
✨ Languages for this pile:
Sanskrit – ancient, spiritual, and poetic
Latin – classic, structured, timeless
Greek (Ancient or Modern) – philosophy and history in every word
Hebrew – sacred, symbolic, deeply traditional
Arabic – flowing, poetic, rich in spiritual heritage
French – romantic, artsy, lyrical
Italian – melodic, beautiful, expressive
Japanese – disciplined, meditative, full of subtle nuance
Mandarin Chinese – ancient roots, cultural depth, tons of history
Classical Armenian – deeply cultural, unique script
Sumerian / Akkadian (if you really want an ancestral vibe 😏)
So people reading pile 1-You’re not here to rush. You’ll thrive in languages that feel alive with history and culture, where every word is a story, a memory, a connection. Songs, literature, or calligraphy will pull you in more than just conversational practice.

DISCLAIMER: This is for entertainment and educational purposes only. All interpretations, analyses, and opinions shared here are speculative and should not be taken as factual statements about any individual or yourself.
𑣲 PILE 1
Eight of Cups
There is this quiet magnetism people don’t understand until they feel it. There’s something about you that doesn’t cling, doesn’t chase, doesn’t beg to be chosen. You have this energy of knowing when something no longer fulfills you and actually having the strength to walk away from it. That alone is addictive. People are used to being needed, being held onto, being fought for… and then there’s you, who can feel everything deeply and still choose yourself. It leaves people wondering why you didn’t stay, what you saw that made you leave, and more importantly, what it would take for you to come back.
Two of Cups
This shows that when you do connect with someone, it feels real. Not surface-level, not forced, not performative. You mirror people in a way that makes them feel seen, understood, and emotionally met. That kind of connection is rare, and once someone experiences it with you, they don’t forget it. You have this way of making people feel like it’s mutual, like it’s balanced, like it’s something meaningful… and that’s exactly why it lingers. Because not everyone gets access to that side of you, and the ones who do know it’s not something easily replaced.
Three of Swords
You carry depth, and with that comes the ability to touch people in ways that aren’t just light and easy. There’s something about your presence that can stir emotions people try to avoid. You don’t just exist on the surface, you reach into places people don’t usually go, and that can be both intoxicating and overwhelming. Even when things hurt, even when there’s distance or heartbreak involved, people don’t forget you because you made them feel something real. And real is addictive, even when it’s not comfortable.
Knight of Pentacle
You’re not chaotic for the sake of it, you’re not all talk, you’re not fleeting. When you show up, you show up consistently, and people feel that. There’s a sense that if someone earns your time, your effort, your loyalty, it actually means something. That kind of stability is rare, especially paired with the emotional depth you carry. It creates this combination where people feel both safe and intrigued by you. They trust you, but they also don’t fully understand you, and that keeps them hooked.
The Hermit
You don’t give yourself away completely; there’s a part of you that stays private, introspective, slightly out of reach. You pull back when you need to, you disappear into your own world, and that creates a sense of mystery that people can’t quite solve. It’s not that you’re playing games, it’s that you genuinely need that space. But from the outside, it makes people curious. It makes them wonder what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling, what you’re doing when you’re not around. And that curiosity doesn’t fade easily. It sticks, it lingers, it keeps them thinking about you long after you’ve stepped away.
𑣲 PILE 2
Queen of Wands (Reversed)
You’re not the loudest in the room, not constantly performing for attention, but there’s something about you that pulls eyes anyway. It’s that lowkey confidence mixed with unpredictability. People can’t fully read you, and that makes them lean in closer. There’s also this subtle intensity, like you could take up all the space if you wanted to, but you choose not to. That restraint, that controlled fire, is what keeps people intrigued because they can sense there’s more beneath the surface that you’re not fully showing.
Three of Cups
You know how to make moments feel light, fun, and memorable without forcing it. People feel good around you, like they can relax, laugh, and just exist without pressure. You bring a sense of ease into spaces that might otherwise feel awkward or heavy. What makes this addictive is that your energy isn’t draining. It’s refreshing. People leave interactions with you feeling better than they did before, and that kind of emotional lift is something they subconsciously start craving.
Two of Pentacles
The Two of Pentacles adds a layer of inconsistency that keeps people hooked whether you realize it or not. You have this way of balancing things, shifting your energy, adapting, sometimes being fully present and other times slightly out of reach. It’s not chaotic, it’s just… fluid.
But from the outside, that fluidity creates anticipation. People don’t always know what version of you they’re going to get or when they’ll get your full attention again. That unpredictability creates a cycle where they keep checking back in, trying to catch your energy when it’s fully there.
The Lovers (Reversed)
You have this way of forming connections that feel significant, but not always fully defined or locked in. There’s depth, there’s chemistry, there’s meaning… but something about it stays slightly unresolved or open-ended. That’s what lingers. People walk away from you with questions, with what-ifs, with a sense that something could have been more. And that feeling doesn’t fade easily because it never fully reached a clear conclusion.
Temperance
You have a way of naturally blending energies, smoothing things over, and creating harmony without making it obvious. What makes this addictive is that being around you feels regulating. You don’t overwhelm, you don’t rush, you don’t force. You meet people where they are and subtly bring them back into balance. And once someone experiences that kind of steady, grounding energy, they start to realize how rare it is… and they keep coming back for it.
𑣲 PILE 3
Temperance
There’s a quiet steadiness to you that people don’t clock immediately but feel the second they’re around you. You don’t rush, you don’t overwhelm, you don’t force anything, and that alone makes you stand out in a world that’s constantly loud and chaotic. Being around you feels like things slow down in a good way, like emotions settle and thoughts become clearer. People start associating you with that sense of balance without even realizing it, and once they do, they keep coming back because you make life feel softer and easier to handle.
Two of Cups (Reversed)
What you give isn’t always something people can neatly define, and that’s exactly what keeps them stuck on you. There’s connection, there’s chemistry, there’s something meaningful there, but it doesn’t always land in a way that feels complete. You leave impressions that don’t fully close, conversations that feel like they could’ve gone deeper, moments that feel unfinished. That lingering energy turns into curiosity, and curiosity turns into fixation because people don’t like not having answers, especially when it comes to you.
Ten of Pentacles (Reversed)
You don’t follow the script people expect, and that throws them off in the most intriguing way. There’s something about you that resists settling into predictable roles or outcomes, and that unpredictability makes people question what you actually want, what you value, and where you’re going. It creates this sense that you’re not easily “secured” or figured out long-term, which makes people more drawn in instead of less. They keep trying to understand your version of stability, and in doing that, they get pulled deeper into your world.
Two of Wands (Reversed)
There’s a hesitation in you that people pick up on, but instead of pushing them away, it pulls them in. You don’t always make the first move, you don’t always reveal your full intentions, and that creates this sense of anticipation around you. People feel like there’s more you’re holding back, more you could say, more you could do, and they get hooked on the idea of seeing that side of you. It’s the feeling of almost getting somewhere with you but not quite, and that almost is what keeps them invested.
Six of Swords
Your presence feels like a transition point in people’s lives. You come in when things are shifting, when they’re leaving something behind or trying to move toward something better. You don’t always stay forever, but you leave an impact that feels like growth, like a turning point they can’t ignore. That’s what makes you unforgettable. You’re not just someone they met, you’re someone they associate with change, with healing, with moving forward. And once someone connects you to a moment like that, they carry you with them long after you’re gone.

a while ago i made this post about astragalomancy, a form of divination using four-sided knucklebones. in that i mentioned another post that my friend fritz had made about psephoi. since then, fritz has deleted his tumblr blog so i decided to repost these tiles he made (with his permission) and their interpretations!
BACKGROUND:
psephoi is a method of using 24 tiles each inscribed with a greek letter (much like norse runes and celtic ogham) and chosen randomly. it wasn't just used for divination, of course, as with astragaloi (which were used as dice), but in this case we will only be considering the divinatory method.
THE TILES:
psephoi tiles can be a number of things: pieces of ceramic, wood, or pieces of paper. you can put them in a cup or bag or whatever and draw blindly, or you can swirl them around in the vessel until one/some fall out.
if you don't feel like making your own or want something quick and easy, check out these tiles fritz drew up!
you could cut them out and just use them as is, or paste them onto pieces of wood/stone/whatever you like!
(btw fritz says y'all can feel free to screenshot and print these out to use)
whether or not you make your own tiles, below is a list of the interpretations for your divinatory usage!
INTERPRETATIONS:
Alpha: “The God [Apollo] says you will do everything successfully.” Your entire project will turn out well and you will meet all your goals. You will have good luck in all your activities, or prosperous business transactions and negotiations.
Beta: “With the help of Tychê, you will have an assistant, the Pythian [Apollo].” You are at a critical point, but if you are fortunate, Apollo the Far-shooter will help you if you call on Him. Even with luck, the God will only assist; ultimate responsibility is yours. “Pythian” refers to Apollo as the God at Delphi (which was in Pytho), one of the most important oracular sites. Therefore the help to be expected might be of a prophetic nature.
Gamma: “Gaia will give you the ripe fruit of your labors.” You will have a successful harvest, or you will reap all your profits from the Earth. The Mother of All will bring your labors to a fruitful conclusion. Gaia will give you your just deserts.
Delta: “In customs inopportune strength is weak.” Ill-timed force will be ineffective; act with precision; timing is everything. Knowing where and when to strike is more important than strength; misapplied ability is disability. Blind conformity to customs is spineless; overly strict adherence to rules is self-defeating. Unreasonable or undue force will defeat itself; a tyrant must fall.
Epsilon: “You desire to see the offspring of righteous marriages.” This is a statement of fact, not a command or prediction. The obvious meaning is that the querant wants children or grandchildren from suitable marriages. However, it can also mean he or she is in love with seeing this, that is, obsessed by the idea. The “rightness” of the marriage admits many interpretations; it could be a terrible marriage if that was fitting and righteous (i.e. deserved). The oracle may also refer to seeds, other than children, sown by the marriage (e.g. family alliances, marrying into wealth or influence). Finally, marriage may be taken metaphorically to refer to any alliance or union.
Zeta: “Flee the very great storm, lest you be disabled in some way.” Don’t make a sea-voyage in bad weather. It is futile to fight the force of the ocean; likewise, bucking the inevitable will weaken you and hinder your progress. Avoid raging storms of any kind; save your energy for when it can be effective. Sometimes flight is wiser than fight.
Eta: “Bright Helios, who watches everything, watches you.” The life-giving Sun will care for you. Helios is an enforcer of oaths and promises, and He knows the deceit in your heart.
Theta: “You have the helping Gods of this path.” The “way” may be a concrete road, a plan of action, a spiritual path, a way of life, etc. In any case, the Gods who oversee this way will help and defend you, so you may go forward with confidence; you are under divine care because you are following your destiny.
Iota: “There is sweat; it excels more than everything.” There will always be hard work; work is never done. Hard work is the surest means of success. When you have lost all other possessions, you still have your labor as an asset. The oracle recommends elbow-grease.
Kappa: “To fight with the waves is difficult; endure, friend.” In time, the force of ocean waves can grind down anything; they can be a metaphor for repetitive, unstoppable processes. It is difficult, dangerous, and painful to try to resist them; the sensible thing to do is to wait until they abate, or if that is impossible, then to endure the inevitable with courage.
Lambda: “The one passing on the left bodes well for everything.” Since the left is traditionally the sinister side, the oracle may mean that an apparently sinister thing or event may be a blessing in disguise. The left is also associated with the unconscious, lunar mind, and so unconscious processes or intuition may signal a favorable outcome. A promising sign comes from an unpromising quarter.
Mu: “It is necessary to labor, but the change will be admirable.” Through toil and distress a change will be made for the better. Hard work will result in a good return.
Nu: “The strife-bearing gift fulfils the oracle.” Something will be given (to you, by you, or from one to another) that brings strife with it; this will discharge the force of the oracle. The import seems to be that this gift will be the answer to the question asked of the oracle. So, for example, if the querant asked when something will happen, the gift is the sign that it’s immanent.
Xi: “There is no fruit to take from a withered shoot.” There is no good to be gained from an angry young man or woman. The frayed end of a good line. Harshness and stinginess will achieve nothing. You can’t get blood from a turnip; you can’t get water from a stone. Don’t polish a turd.
Omicron: “There are no crops to be reaped that were not sown.” What we spread about, comes back to us. What goes around comes around. You must plan ahead in order to achieve anything.
Pi: “Completing many contests, you will seize the crown.” If you persist in your struggles, after many trials you will succeed. Perseverance through adversity.
Rho: “You will go on more easily if you wait a short time.” If you will hold your ground for only a short time, you will be able to proceed (more easily or with greater cooperation). You will go faster by waiting than by going now; on the other hand, delaying too long may provoke reckless action. By standing fast you live recklessly. By remaining where you are, you live life thoughtlessly.
Sigma: “Phoibos [Apollo] speaks plainly, ‘Stay, friend.’” Neither advance nor retreat; wait or hold your ground, as appropriate; the best action is inaction. “Phoibos” refers to Apollo as Bright and Pure, which also characterizes His advice in this oracle.
Tau: “You will have a parting from the companions now around you.” This may be an unwelcome parting from friends or a welcome release from enemies; in either case they are now around you. This may also mean a growing apart or forced separation of a person from his or her family, peers or fellow travelers on the path.
Upsilon: “The affair holds a noble undertaking.” There is some issue to be resolved, or some deed is under consideration; it involves high-mindedness, either in commitment, deed, or professional pursuit. The oracle may tell us that the affair is admirable due to this noble element, or that the situation may guide us to seek the appropriate noble undertaking or profession. The hero’s quest. On the other hand, the oracle may mean that the situation hinders this fine undertaking. Thus you should try to understand the situation: does it demand an excellent undertaking or impede it.
Phi: “Having done something carelessly, you will thereafter blame the Gods.” Take responsibility for your actions (or inactions); don't blame the Gods (or the universe, or fate, or society, or nature) for your own failings. The ancient Greeks said, “Hermes will help you get your wagon unstuck, but only if you push on it.”
Khi: “Succeeding, friend, you will fulfill a golden oracle.” “Golden” may be a metaphor for rich, noble, excellent, etc. This admirable oracle will be fulfilled by you attaining your ends, or a mere chance meeting could constitute the golden event.
Psi: “You have this righteous judgment {Psêphos} from the Gods.” Literally, a psêphos is a stone used for divination, voting, counting, and similar purposes, so this oracle refers to collective judgment rather than individual judgment. This implies that the majority of the Gods concur in this judgment, and that this judgment is appropriate, fair, and righteous, though there is no implication that the result is that desired by the querant.
Omega: “You will have a difficult harvest season, not a useful one.” Concretely, there will be a poor harvest, or autumn will be difficult; the harvest will be too early, before the fruit is ripe. More abstractly, too early grasping of the fruits of your labor (whether voluntary or necessary) will yield a poor return; the rewards will not be suitable for their purpose. Your youth will be rough; you will have to grow up before your time.
Aaba: feminine demon, with an irresistible beauty, she has the power to seduce anyone if she so desires. Curiously, she doesn't like bloodshed.
Aamon: one of the three demons in the service of Satanaquia and commander of the first legion of hell. A demon who appears with the head of a wolf, the tail of a serpent, and always emitting fire.
Aym, Ain, Aini: He is a duke of great power. He appears in the form of a man of notable stature, but with three heads: the first like a serpent, the second like a man with two stars on his forehead, and the third like a calf. He travels on a viper, carrying a brand in his hand. He makes man witty in every way and gives truthful answers on confidential matters. He commands 26 legions of spirits.
Abaddon: (Hebrew) The god Apollo was the sun god of the sky by day and the Lord of Death in the underworld by night. His final form became the Jewish Appolyon, Spirit of the Pit (Revelation 9:11). Apollo-Phyton was the serpent deity at the Well of the Oracle of Delphi who inspired the seers with mystical vapors from his underworld. Abaton was the Greek word for pit, which the Hebrews changed to Abaddon, which later became synonymous with the Christian hell.
Described in the New Testament (Book of Revelation) as the angel-king of the Abyss, a place of destruction. His name means "destruction" or "perdition" in Hebrew. He rules over a horde of locust-like demons that emerge from the Abyss to torment people in the end times. He is the demon of pestilence, destruction, and death.
Abassay: (African) Evil twin or imp, in the Tupi language among the Black tribes of western Africa, in the territories of former French Africa, he was considered the god who populated the world. In Blaisse Pendars's Anthologie nègre, it is said that Abassi, seated on his throne, created all things, superior and inferior, throughout the world. All men inhabited heaven, while there were no men on Earth. At the request of Altair, a divine entity of the Black tribes of former French West Africa, he caused men to inhabit the Earth.
Abduxuel: (Enochian) One of the demonic commanders of the lunar mansions.
Abezethibou: is a demon and fallen angel described in the pseudepigrapha, Testament of Solomon. He followed Beelzebub upon his fall from heaven, and became an important demon in Hell, often acting as a strategist and advisor to Beelzebub.
Abigor: (Unknown) A demon who commanded 60 infernal legions on his winged horse. He had the ability to foresee the future and was knowledgeable in all the secrets of warfare. He always carried a spear, standard, or scepter. Weyer says he's a Grand Duke of Hell. He often appears in a pleasant form.
Abraxas: They believed the name held great mysteries, as it was formed by seven Greek letters that, when computed numerically, yielded 365, the number of days in a year. It was also believed that Abraxas commanded 365 gods, each possessing a virtue, thus having a virtue for each day of the year.
Old mythologists place Abraxas among the Egyptian gods, while some demonologists say he is a demon with the head of a king and serpents for feet. Many stones and gems were cut with his elaborate and eccentric symbolic markings, such as the human body with the head of a bird or a lion, and snakes for limbs. All were used by the Basilideans as amulets. It is worth noting that their favorite amulet bore the number 365. Later, Gnostic symbols were adopted by many societies devoted to magical and alchemical practices. It is quite likely that the vast majority of abraxas stones containing kabbalistic symbols were made in the Middle Ages and were talismans.
Abramelech (Adramalech): (Sumerian) Considered president of the High Council of Devils, great chancellor of Hell, and overseer of the Devil's wardrobe. He was always represented in the form of a mule, with a human torso and a peacock's tail. In Assyria, where he was worshipped, children were burned on his altars.
Aclahayr: (Unknown) Of the fourth horde of the Nuctemerons. The spirit of genius.
Adad, Addu: (Babylonian, Hihitite) god of the storm.
Aeshma, Aesma: (Persian) One of the seven archangels of the Persians. Later adopted into Hebrew mythology as Asmodeus. He has been recorded in history for at least the last three thousand years. He is said to be a small, hairy demon capable of making men perform cruel acts. He has seven powers that he can use for the destruction of humanity.
In the hierarchy of Zoroastrian Daevas that mirrors a similar hierarchy of divinities, Aeshma is opposed to Asha Vahishta, the Amesha Spenta, or good spirit, who embodies Truth. Aeshma’s chief adversary is Sraosha (Obedience), the principle of religious devotion and discipline. Aeshma distracts people from proper worship. He interferes with the souls of the dead as they approach the Chinvat Bridge to the underworld. The creator God, Ahura Mazda (later Ohrmazd), created Sraosha to counter Aeshma’s mischief and protect people from his attacks. Sraosha ultimately will overthrow Aeshma. In medieval texts, Aeshma is made a commander of dark forces by Angra Mainyu (later AHRIMAN). He is swallowed by AZ, the demon of avarice.
Aeshma can be driven away by the recitation of a prayer from the Vendidad, a Zoroastrian text. The demon ASMODEUS of Hebrew lore may be based in part on Aeshma. He appears as a handsome man riding a crocodile and carrying a goshawk in his fist. He makes those who run stand still, and he can retrieve runaways. He teaches all languages, causes earthquakes, and destroys spiritual dignities.
Agrath: (jewish) demonology, a powerful female demon. Agrath (beating) and her mother, Makhlath, are in constant struggle against Lilith.

Agaures, Agares: Grand Duke of the western part of Hell, commander of 31 legions of demons, a fallen angel, before his fall he was a member of the Virtues.

He usually appears as a noble lord, carrying a hawk in his fist, wearing a tunic, riding a horse, and carrying a crocodile. The demon of courage.
Agathodemon: (Egyptian) Greek term for a beneficent demon, who accompanies people throughout their lives. According to legend, Socrates, the great Greek philosopher (468-400 BC), had a similar demon, who always accompanied him.
Agramon: (Unknown) demon of fear.
Agrat-bat-mahlaht: (jewish) one of Satan/Samael's wives and demon of sacred prostitutes. In some versions, she is the mother of Asmodeus, and in others, the wife of Lucifer.

Ahriman: Equal to the spirit of evil, twin brother of Ormuzd, the spirit of Good, in Zoroastrianism.
Alastor: (Greek??) Wierius describes Alastor as a cruel demon who was the chief executioner of the monarch of Hades, with a function similar to that of Nemesis and who is also known as "The Executioner" or as a destroying angel, the term "alastor" being formerly used to designate evil geniuses.
Alal: (Mesapotamian) was a kind of demon that, to tempt men, came out of the Underworld and took various forms, temptations that the inhabitants of Babylonia were able to reject by means of amulets.
Generally these demons are seen as theriocephalous, with a human body and the head of a lion with open jaws, the ears of a dog and mane of a horse. The feet are frequently replaced by bird claws of prey.
Ala, hala: (Slavic) is a female mythological creature recorded in the folklore of Bulgarians, Macedonians, and Serbs.

Al Ana (Turkish) is a female demon in Turkic folklore. Al Ana was said to live in thickets near rivers, streams and lakes. According to some oral narratives, she took the form of an ugly, old woman with a hairy body, long straight hair and breasts so huge that she uses them to wash her clothes.

In the Sumerian-Arcadian religion, she was the demon of evil and death. She is a descendant and servant of Eresshkigal, "lady of the great place," queen of the underworld in Sumerian texts. She reigns in her palace, always guarding the source of life. Her family name is Namar, and in the Assyro-Babylonian religion, Allatou is the goddess of the underworld, consort of Bel and, later, of Nergal.
Alrunes: Female demons or sorceresses, mothers of the Huns in ancient Germany. They practiced metamorphosis, assuming any form without changing their sex.

In Semito-Canaanite tradition, Baal was associated with fertility, storms, and harvests, and was considered the supreme deity by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians. Sacrifices were made in his honor to ensure bountiful harvests and protection from enemies. He also represented the periodic cycle of life, death, and rebirth, symbolizing instinctual and natural forces.

He is described as a warrior riding a goodly black horse, and possesses the abilities of locating lost or hidden treasures, teaching trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) and making a man into a warrior of his own likeness. He holds the rank of marquis, and is served by 20 legions. He also rules over all the spirits of Africa. Much the same description is found in the earlier text of Johann Weyer's catalog of demons, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (published 1563). Earlier still is the Munich Handbook of Necromancy: Clm 849 (published by Richard Kieckhefer, as Forbidden Rites: a necromancer's manual of the 15th century 1998) which lists an entity named Tuvries with much the same characteristics, except that he has 30 legions of servitors, and can cause a person to cross seas and rivers quickly. Most likely, Tuvries is a mistranscription of Cymries.
It is probable that the earliest mention of Kimaris is also Coptic, found in the London oriental mss 6796 where the name "Akathama Chamaris" appears (Meyer and Smith). In this text, the entity in question does not appear to be evil; rather, he is addressed as a godlike helping spirit. Baskin's Dictionary of Satanism speculates that Cimeries is derived from Cimmerians, a warlike people mentioned in the works of several classical authors as dwelling totally in darkness. It is also possible that Cimeries is derived from Chimaira, the three-headed, fire-breathing lion-goat-serpent who eventually became one of the guardians of the underworld. There is a precedent, considering that the harmless Phoenix is also demonized in the Goetia.

Lilith: The origin of Lilith dates back to Mesopotamian mythology around 3000 BC, where she emerged under the name Lilitu, representing a category of demons or spirits of the wind and storms in Sumer. Her name, found in Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian civilizations, shares the particle "lil" with other deities like Enlil and Nilil. Among her various epithets are Lillake, Belit-ili, and the Canaanite Baalat, meaning "the divine lady." One of her oldest representations dates back to 2000 BC in the city of Ur.
Lilith is intrinsically associated with the owl and is commonly depicted as a seductive woman with shapely forms. Her attributes are complex and dualistic: she was worshipped as the great goddess and queen of the Sumerian sky, associated with the Black Moon, mystery, power, seduction, and fertility. However, at the same time, she was identified with demons and evil spirits, considered a bearer of malaise, illness, and death, and it was believed she used water as a portal to her world. The moon was her primary symbol, representing her good and bad phases, and she personified vanity, sensuality, and sexuality. Through Jewish mythology, her image underwent a drastic transformation, being redefined and relegated to the darkest domain as a demon of evil and the night, who killed children and made pregnant women to have an abortion.

The book is especially significant for its feature of a specific pact between a magician and Lucifuge Rofocale for the purpose of securing the services of demons. Rocofale may be an anagram of Focalor, a demon named in the Lemegeton, a major grimoire.
The Grand Grimoire states that if the magician cannot master a magic circle and a blasting rod for controlling demons, then a pact is necessary. A pact cannot be made with the three highest demons — Lucifer, Beelzebub and Astaroth — but only with one of their lieutenants. It provides a Grand Conjuration for summoning Lucifuge Rofocale, who is a reluctant and obstinate spirit who must be forced to appear with the use of the blasting rod and threats of curses. According to the Grand Grimoire, when Lucifuge Rofocale appears, he demands that in exchange for his services, the magician “give thyself over to me in fifty years, to do with thy body and soul as I please.”
