The Book of Jubilees ("Little Genesis")

← all texts · Grimoires · c. 2nd c. BCE

What this is

Genesis retold on a fixed calendar of jubilees, with the Watchers present but reframed: here they come down at first to TEACH righteousness and judgement, and only afterward go astray. Mastema and the demons who survive the flood are bargained over and a tenth are left, which is the passage most later demonology quietly depends on.
