Entities

The core table — every entity in the database, spanning gods, angels, demons, aeons, prophets, saints, heroes, spirits, monsters, personified abstractions, cosmological realms, and ritual categories. Use entity_class to filter by kind (19 controlled values: deity, angel, demon, aeon, sefirah, spirit, monster, hero, etc.). category is free text (1,148 values) and is not a reliable filter. Use tradition to filter by tradition. The short_note column contains a scholarly description with source citations.
