ȚAPUL – PROIECȚIE A DOUĂ FAȚETE ALE ARHETIPULUI RĂULUI: AZAZEL ȘI SATAN
THE GOAT – MANIFEST PROJECTION OF TWO FACETS OF THE ARCHETYPE OF EVIL: AZAZEL AND SATAN

Summary/Abstract: Considered an unclean animal in Jewish monotheism, the goat’s demonological history begins for the Jews with the establishment of the Yom Kippur holiday and ends with the Witches’ Sabbath, intentionally associated with the Jewish Sabbath. Beyond the Christian terrors projected as a shadow over the Jewish people, we are dealing with a continuity of an intention whose permanence had to be ensured. From a demonological point of view, evil had to survive by the constant imposition of an “inverted” monotheism, in what we might call the “understanding” of Good and Evil for this world. From the biblical verses: “Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and one lot for Azazel” (Leviticus, 16, 8), to the at least curious expression of Jesus: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s!” (Matthew 22, 21), it is only one step to ascertain the still active belief in monotheism, from the heart of Judaism of the first century. Thus, the presence of the impure in the goat of Azazel, will continue with the image of Caesar associated with the evil angel Samael or “God’s poison”, passing through the ages, in Christianity in the sabbatical rite of the witches. One constant remains: the constant antagonism against the Jewish people.
