Marag: Demon of Magoth and Kore
Marag is a demon named in The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, where he appears among the many subordinate spirits arranged beneath greater infernal rulers. Within the hierarchy of the grimoire, Marag is said to serve under the dual authority of Magoth and Kore, two powerful demonic figures who command numerous lesser spirits.
The surviving descriptions give Marag no elaborate appearance, personality or individual magical office. His importance lies instead in his place within the structured infernal hierarchy of Abramelin, a system in which demons are understood through relationships of command, obedience and rank rather than as isolated supernatural beings.
In the 1725 edition of the work published by Peter Hammer in Cologne, the demon’s name appears in the variant form Charag. Such changes in spelling are common in older magical manuscripts and printed grimoires, where names passed through different languages, copyists and editions before reaching modern readers.
Marag therefore belongs to the vast shadowed population of lesser spirits whose names survive because they formed part of a larger system of ceremonial magic. To encounter his name is to glimpse only one fragment of the immense infernal architecture preserved within the Abramelin tradition.
Enter the Occult World Mystery School
Knowing the name Marag gives you almost nothing. Understanding the hierarchy behind him, the grimoires that preserve these spirits, the systems of command surrounding them and the traditions of Black Magick that developed around such texts is where serious study begins. The Occult World Mystery School is for those who are finished with passive curiosity and ready to study Demonology, ceremonial magic, Black Magick, spirit hierarchies, ritual power and the occult disciplines that have always attracted people who refuse to live weakly or blindly.
Power begins with knowledge, but knowledge without discipline is useless. If you want greater command over your own decisions, your own direction, your own will and the forces that influence your life, then stop surrendering your attention to people who know less than you and circumstances you never chose. Study the systems. Understand the symbols. Learn how occultists approached authority, will, transformation, protection and personal sovereignty, and start building a mind that is far harder to control.
Join the Occult World Mystery School and go where ordinary curiosity ends. Learn Demonology. Study Black Magick. Explore the grimoires. Strengthen your will. Take command of your own path and stop allowing the world to define your limits for you. If you want power, then stop admiring it from a distance and begin studying how power has been understood, cultivated and pursued throughout the occult tradition.
