Belsebuub

I was hanging out at www.goodreads.com this morning, which is pretty much my favorite site, and the only way that I could keep track of the 200+ books I read a year after I had the baby. And I was checking out this list for the best free books at Amazon, and I came across some cheesy self-help enlightenment sounding book with the author named "Belsebuub". (which he states is pronounced bel-se-boob)

My first thought was: Satire. But after much searching and studying, it appears the guy is some kind of cult leader, who teaches astral projection and spiritual enlightenment, with some connection to various Gnostic groups. (You can find him at a website with his name .com ~ I can't remember the rules for posting links here, or if there are any, so I err on the side of caution)

I mean, there are all kinds of peoples, and religions, and cults out there. I just can't believe that he would name himself after beezlebub, like on purpose. Apparently his name has undergone several incarnations, first the original spelling, then he change to belsebub, and then added the extra u (maybe he like the different pronunciation the extra u gave him? )
