Ethereals

There’s a snap in the grass behind your feet
And a tap upon your shoulder,
And the thin wind crawls along your neck;
It’s just the old gods getting older.

- Jethro Tull, Beltane

Backwards or Bright Low-Contrast, or any game where sympathetic demons are a likely encounter

“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!

I have a duty!”

― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men (Discworld, #30)

Word-Bound

"Godhood is more than a name. It is a condition of being.... Being a god is the quality of being able to be yourself to such an extent that your passions correspond with the forces of the universe, so that those who look upon you know this without hearing your name spoken.... One rules through one's ruling passion. Those who look upon gods then say, without even knowing their names, 'He is Fire. She is Dance. He is Destruction.'"
- Roger Zelazny, Lord of Light

[Rocket Man]

Habbalah
"These humans are only of flesh, of mud, and I suggest there is one force stronger than their zeal for God: their own self-righteousness!"

"No, never kneel! Never bend!
Rend him to bits, bite!

Infernal Interventions

“When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concentration of circumstances, they say that's a miracle. But of course, if someone is killed by a freak chain of events - the oil spill just there, the safety fence broken just there - that must also be a miracle. Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.”
- Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times

[Rocket Man]

Fate and Destiny
“People couldn't become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked.”

Prince, when I took your goblet tall
And smashed it with inebriate care,
I knew not how from Rome and Gaul
You gained it; I was unaware
It stood by Charlemagne's great chair
And served St. Peter at High Mass.
I'm sorry if the thing was rare;
I like the noise of breaking glass.

-GK Chesterton (From his Autobiography)

I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the great destroyer

-The Great Destroyer (Nine Inch Nails)

Soldiers of Hell

I feel the power of evil coursing through my veins, filling every corner of my being with the desire to do wrong! I feel so bad, Benson!

-Evil, Time Bandits (Terry Gilliam)

Soldiers of Heaven

And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomine Patri Et Fili Et Spiritus Sancti.

-MacManus Family Prayer, Boondock Saints (Troy Duffy)

Kronos

You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

-Red Right Hand, Nick Cave
