The North has long been considered by many cultures the direction of Evil and Darkness and the Cold due to more northerly places being colder, darker, less hospitable, and also harboring peoples who due to the harsher climates may develop cultures of theft of resources.

​​For the Chinese, it was the Northern Barnbarians, for the people of the West, it was the Northmen, and their sea raids and this repeats again in Warhammer lore and before then in Tolkien’s Silmarillion. Ancient Egypt was attacked by the Northern Sea Peoples, and the Northern Assyrians raided the people South to them as did thr Europeans in their bringing their enslavery to the “Dark Continent” and Raping their resources and people.

In the Elder Scrolls, The Lord of Rape and Slavery is known as Molag Baal, he is also the Lord of Vampires. He lives in a place called Cold Harbor or something, it is freezing cold.

Meanwhile, Satan in Dante’s Inferno sits in a cold hell that is frozen as a hideous monster in massive chains, a slave, deep in darkness low down.

​​​Today the North is considered up rather than down due to the way maps are made from European trends. In the Past, South was often considered Upper and North considered Lower in some cases such as Ancient Egypt and there are maps which seem to imply a completely different way of thinking among various people.

The North has commonly been associated with evil, as has the North Star or Pole Star.

” Another source for the oni’s image is a concept from China and Onmyōdō. The north direction was once termed the kimon (鬼門, “demon gate”), and was considered an unlucky direction through which evil spirits passed. Based on the assignment of thetwelve zodiac animals to the cardinal directions, the kimon was also known as theushitora (丑寅), or “Ox Tiger” direction, and theoni’s bovine horns and cat-like fangs, claws, and tiger-skin loincloth developed as a visual depiction of this term.[sup][8][/sup]Temples are often built facing that direction, and Japanese buildings sometimes have L-shaped indentions at the northeast to ward oni away. Enryakuji, on Mount Hiei northeast of the center of Kyoto, and Kaneiji, in that direction from Edo Castle, are examples. The Japanese capital itself moved northeast fromNagaoka to Kyoto in the 8th century.”

The Tiger is also depicted as a black cat in some astrological art from East Asia.

” an evil star called Al Kiblah. According to them, the star killed the great warrior of the sky who forever resides in a giant coffin that is outlined by the stars of the Big Dipper. The other stars are in mourning for their fallen hero and march slowly around the night sky, forever in funeral procession. Meanwhile, the northern pole star acts as a villainous outcast, forever motionless and fixed at the coldest corner of the northern sky. ”

” Fixed star Polaris is of the nature of Saturn and Venus. It causes much sickness, trouble, loss of fortune, disgrace and great affliction, and may give legacies and inheritances attended by much evil. [1]The Pole Star is the main star of the small Bear situated on the Tail, has a Saturn nature, combined with qualities of Sun and Venus. It might seem strange to include this fixed star here, as its latitude is about 60° and therefore placed far outside of the ecliptic in which the planets move. Measured on the ecliptic, it is situated closely conjunct with Alpha Orionis, Betelgeuse, the main star of Orion.The Chinese considered the Pole Star as “the great honorable Lord of the Heavens.” In a relevant position in the natal chart it gives spiritual powers to the nearer, who will be highly respected.  The Pole Star serves as a guide and indicator. If it is conjunction planets in the angles, the native will have a good sense of discretion and is able to follow his or her instincts. The native clearly recognizes his or her aims, and will pursue and achieve them. [3]Polaris, α Ursa Minoris, the Pole Star, is not as bright as we may think, It is still east to find by following up a line through the lower and upper stars at the end of the pan part of the Dipper. Ptolemy gives it Saturn-Venus rating, entirely right for the star which serves so well to guide us in our wanderings, and that is just what it tells us about people when we find it strong on their horoscopes. According to its aspects, they are excellent or not so good at receiving and giving guidance, but give it they always will, and to any and all who will listen. [4]Polaris rules the pancreas in the human body. [5]Constellation Ursa Minor is like Saturn and in some degree like Venus. It is said to give indifference and improvidence of spirit, and to lead to many troubles.  [1]Astrologically both Bears were said to presage an evil influence. They are particularly injurious as regards to the affairs of nations and kings. [2] ”

” When the pyramids were built, the star closest to the pole was Thuban, in Draco, the dragon.The stars close to the pole never set. The Egyptians described these stars as “imperishable” or “undying.” Khufu expected that when he died, he would join not only with the Sun, but with Thuban as well – maintaining order in the celestial realm, just as he had on Earth.Pharaoh also expected to join with Osiris, the god of the dead, who was represented by the stars that we know today as Orion. ”

” 3. The North: Bible students have suggested that the north is a symbol of the permanent or the eternal, perhaps because the polar stars were permanently visible in the sky. It is the place of God’s celestial dwelling (Isa. 14:13) and from which His glory descends (Job 37:22) with blessings or judgments (Eze. 1:4). He is the true King of the North.But the north—represented by the left hand—is also a symbol of disaster. The enemy of God’s people came from the north (Jer. 1:14, 15; Eze. 38:6), bringing destruction. In a sense, the enemy was the false king of the north who tried to usurp God’s role and is finally destroyed by the Lord (Zeph. 2:12; Dan. 11:21-45). ”

“Yasht 15.43 assigns Angra Mainyu to the nether world, a world of darkness. So alsoVendidad 19.47, but other passages in the same chapter (19.1 and 19.44) have him dwelling in the region of the daevas, which theVendidad asserts is in the north. There (19.1, 19.43–44), Angra Mainyu is the daevanam daevo, “daeva of daevas” or chief of thedaevas. The superlative daevo.taema is however assigned to the demon Paitisha (“opponent”).”

” Molag Bal resembles a large, bipedal hybrid of a bull and a reptile, and usually appears in a form adorned with horns, fangs, claws and a long tail. His scaly appearance is matched by his demeanor: this serpentine Daedric Prince is the master of corruption, and his entire realm of Coldharbour in Oblivionconsists of nothing but death and destruction. ”

” Attention is claimed by the names of certain animals and plants: the ON. Iörmungandr is a snake, and Iörmunrekr a bull ”

In Tacitus‘ work Germania from the year 98,regnator omnium deus (god, ruler of all) was a deity worshipped by the Semnones tribe in asacred grove. Comparisons have been made between this reference and the poemHelgakviða Hundingsbana II, recorded in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources.  GermaniaEditAccording to Tacitus:

Of all the Suevians, the Semnones recount themselves to be the most ancient and most noble. The belief of their antiquity is confirmed by religious mysteries. At a stated time of the year, all the several people descended from the same stock, assemble by their deputies in a wood; consecrated by the idolatries of their forefathers, and by superstitious awe in times of old. There by publicly sacrificing a man, they begin the horrible solemnity of their barbarous worship. To this grove another sort of reverence is also paid. No one enters it otherwise than bound with ligatures, thence professing his subordination and meanness, and the power of the Deity there. If he falls down, he is not permitted to rise or be raised, but grovels along upon the ground. And of all their superstition, this is the drift and tendency; that from this place the nation drew their original, that here God, the supreme Governor of the world, resides, and that all things else whatsoever are subject to him and bound to obey him.[sup][1][/sup]

Tezcatlipoca (/ˌtɛzˌkætliˈpoʊkə/; Classical Nahuatl: Tezcatlipōca Nahuatl pronunciation: [teskatɬiˈpoːka][sup][1][/sup]) was a central deity in Aztec religion, and his main festival was the Toxcatl ceremony celebrated in the month of May. One of the four sons ofOmeteotl, he is associated with a wide range of concepts, including the night sky, the night winds, hurricanes, the north, the earth,obsidian, enmity, discord, rulership, divination, temptation, jaguars, sorcery, beauty, war and strife. His name in the Nahuatl language is often translated as “Smoking Mirror”[sup][2][/sup] and alludes to his connection to obsidian, the material from which mirrors were made inMesoamerica which were used for shamanicrituals and prophecy.[sup][3][/sup] Another talisman related to Tezcatlipoca was a disc worn as a chest pectoral. This talisman was carved out of abalone shell and depicted on the chest of both Huitzilopochtli and Tezcatlipoca in codex illustrations.[sup][4][/sup][sup][5][/sup]He had many epithets which alluded to different aspects of his deity: Titlacauan /ˌtɪtləˈkaʊən/ (“We are his Slaves”), Ipalnemoani (“He by whom we live”), Necoc Yaotl (“Enemy of Both Sides”), Tloque Nahuaque (“Lord of the Near and the Nigh”) and Yohualli Èhecatl (“Night, Wind”), Ome Acatl[sup][6][/sup] (“Two Reed”), Ilhuicahua Tlalticpaque (“Possessor of the Sky and Earth”).[sup][7][/sup]When depicted he was usually drawn with a black and a yellow stripe painted across his face. He is often shown with his right foot replaced with an obsidian mirror, bone, or a snake—an allusion to the creation myth in which he loses his foot battling with the Earth Monster. Sometimes the mirror was shown on his chest, and sometimes smoke would emanate from the mirror. Tezcatlipoca’snagual, his animal counterpart, was the jaguarand his jaguar aspect was the deityTepeyollotl (“Mountainheart”). In the Aztec ritual calendar the Tonalpohualli Tezcatlipoca ruled the trecena 1 Ocelotl (“1 Jaguar”)—he was also patron of the days with the nameAcatl (“reed”).[sup][8][/sup]
