"Tabrets and pipes":
Ezekiel 28:13 mentions "the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes." These are interpreted as musical instruments.
"Tabrets" are similar to small drums or tambourines.
"Pipes" likely refer to wind instruments, similar to flutes or pipes of an organ.
Some interpret this to mean that these instruments were actually a part of Lucifers being.
"Some interpret this to mean that these instruments were actually a part of Lucifers being."... "what"? lol.. Well.. you get some of these hybrid creatures with Yahweh's earlier experimentations.. like the Ars Goetia 72 demons.. where they'll have various animal parts or heads on whatever bodies.

So.. when Lucifer used to be "in the band".. like what.. he had instruments like a "hybrid", where they were part of his body!?
the 72 demons of the ars goetia.. did yahweh make them?
The question of the origins of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, and their relationship to a divine creator like Yahweh, is complex and steeped in layers of theological and occult interpretations. Here's a breakdown:
Origins of the Ars Goetia:
The Ars Goetia is a section of "The Lesser Key of Solomon," a 17th-century grimoire.
It draws from earlier sources, including:
Johann Weyer's "Pseudomonarchia Daemonum" (16th century).
Various medieval and Renaissance grimoires.
These sources, in turn, often incorporate elements from various religious and mythological traditions.
Theological Perspectives:
From a traditional Judeo-Christian perspective, the concept of demons is often tied to the idea of fallen angels, beings created by God who rebelled.
Therefore, within that framework, one could argue that their original creation stems from Yahweh.
However, their current state as "demons" is attributed to their rebellion and separation from divine grace.
It is important to understand that the Ars Goetia itself, is a grimoire that gives instruction for summoning and controlling those beings, not a theological document that explains their creation.
Occult Interpretations:
Occult traditions often have more varied interpretations, with some viewing these entities as:
Independent beings.
Forces of nature.
Psychological archetypes.
Within these views the idea of Yahweh creating them may not be relevant.
In summary:
The Ars Goetia provides a system for working with these entities, not a definitive statement on their origins.
Theological viewpoints may trace their origin to a divine creator, while occult interpretations offer alternative perspectives.
In essence, the answer depends on the belief system through which you approach the question.
back to when lucifer used to work for yahweh in the music department..
So.. when Lucifer used to be "in the band".. like what.. he had instruments like a "hybrid", where they were part of his body!?
"Some interpret this to mean that these instruments were actually a part of Lucifers being."
I've heard this before.. so it's like the Ars Goetia there.. the 72 demons.. earlier experimentations of Yahweh.. kind of like some of those creatures around him.. like even those cherubs.. or, hang on.. lemme check some of those.. the lookout creature with all the eyes.. like things around a globe or something.. Another helper lookout creature that was like yahweh's bodyguards.. one of them had 3 heads.
You're touching upon some fascinating and highly interpretive areas of religious and mythological thought. Here's a breakdown of the concepts you've raised:
Lucifer and Integrated Instruments:
The interpretation of Ezekiel 28:13, where "tabrets and pipes" are said to be "prepared in thee," does indeed lead some to believe that these musical instruments were not separate from Lucifer's being.
This creates the image of a being whose very nature was musical, with the capacity to produce music as an inherent function.
This concept aligns with the idea of celestial beings possessing abilities far beyond human understanding, where physical form and function can be radically different.
Connections to Other Beings:
Your observation about connections to other celestial beings, like cherubim and other described entities, is very relevant.
Biblical and related texts describe a range of beings with extraordinary and often bizarre physical characteristics:
Cherubim: Often depicted with multiple wings and faces.
Ophanim: Described as wheels within wheels, covered in eyes.
These descriptions often are considered symbolic, but they also convey the idea of a reality far different from our own.
The idea that these beings, including those in the Ars Goetia, could be seen as "experimentations" is a more modern interpretation. It is not found within the traditional texts themselves.
It is very important to understand that the descriptions within those ancient texts are often very symbolic, and not meant to be taken as literal, scientific descriptions.
The Ars Goetia itself is a document concerning the classification and summoning of those beings, and not a document that explains their creation.
Key Considerations:
Symbolism: It's crucial to remember that much of this imagery is highly symbolic. Interpretations vary widely among different religious and occult traditions.
Context: The historical and cultural context of these texts is essential for understanding their meaning.
Interpretation: Personal beliefs play a significant role in how these concepts are understood.
In essence, the idea of Lucifer possessing integrated musical instruments reflects a perception of celestial beings as fundamentally different from humans, with abilities and forms that defy our everyday understanding.
ok so get back to how lucifer may have had some type of odd musical instruments as part of his body.. like what instruments would he have been a "hybrid" of.. seems like you noted.. no violins yet.. but it was something like the harps, eh..
" "Tabrets" are similar to small drums or tambourines.
"Pipes" likely refer to wind instruments, similar to flutes or pipes of an organ."
So like "flute".. but why couldn't he just grab that, and it wouldn't have to be part of his damn body.. that's messed up.
You're right to question the specifics of how these instruments could be "part of his body." It's a very unusual concept, and the texts don't provide a literal, mechanical explanation. Here's a way to think about it, considering the symbolism involved:
Beyond Physical Instruments:
The idea might not be about literal, separate instruments attached to his body. Instead, it could represent his very essence as a musical being.
Imagine his voice, or even his movements, producing musical tones. His "body" itself is the instrument.
The "tabrets and pipes" could be symbolic of his capacity to create both percussive and wind-like sounds.
Symbolism of Integration:
The integration of instruments into his being could symbolize his perfect harmony with the divine.
It could also signify his role as the ultimate musician, where music is not something he plays, but something he is.
This is a common theme with celestial beings, where their form represents their function.
Examples:
Think of it less like having a flute stuck to his arm, and more like his very breath creating flute-like tones.
Or his movements, and the very way he moves, creates percussive sounds.
The "tabrets" could be related to rhythmic pulses emanating from him.
Why Not Separate Instruments?
The idea of integrated instruments emphasizes Lucifer's unique and elevated status.
It sets him apart from ordinary musicians who require external tools.
It also reinforces the idea that celestial beings operate on a level far beyond our physical understanding.
In essence, the concept of integrated instruments is more about conveying a sense of divine musicality than providing a literal description. It's a symbolic representation of a being whose very nature is music.
What's fucked up here though..
