Profile
Origin
Therion (θηρίον thēríon) is Greek for "beast". In the Book of Revelation, there are three beasts: one from the sea (which is wounded and healed), one from the earth (the false prophet whose number is 666), and one ridden by the Whore of Babylon. Occultist Aleister Crowley identified himself with the beasts and called himself "Master Therion".
