Enneagram of Personality. History[edit] The origins and historical development of the Enneagram of Personality are matters of dispute.
Wiltse and Palmer[6] have suggested that similar ideas to the Enneagram of Personality are found in the work of Evagrius Ponticus, a Christian mystic who lived in 4th century Alexandria.

In demonology, a diabolical signature (from diabolus, the Latin for devil which comes from the Greek diabolos for supernatural being) is the signature of a devil, demon or similar spirit, usually in order to sign a soul away.
The most famous of these is in the story of Faust. Demons' signatures are designed to disguise their actual names. They are usually signed in blood. If there is a mass of signatures, they are usually signed in a circle. Some books on demonology, like Arbatel de Magia Verum and The Lesser Key of Solomon (or Lemegeton), assert that all demons have their own signature, collectively called seal of the demons, and sign the acts of diabolical pacts with them.

Neoplatonic philosophy holds that there is a single ultimate source from which all things descend.
Each stage of descent from the ultimate source contains less of the original perfection. The result is a series of graduated layers, each one more perfect than the one below and less perfect than the one above. God: The Ultimate Source For Christians, the ultimate source is God, represented here by the Latin term DEVS (or deus, the Romans having used the same letter for both U and V) surrounded by a shining light.
