ROLES / DUTIES ASMODEUS Asmodeus’ chief objectives are to prevent intercourse between husband and wife, wreck new marriages, and force . He husbands to commit adulteryis also one of the chief Demons involved in cases of Possession. Throughout history, he has been regarded as one of the most evil of Satan’ s infernal Demons. He is usually portrayed as having three heads, those of an ogre, a ram, and a bull, all sexually licentious creatures; having the feet of a cock, another sexually aggressive creature; and having wings and the tail of a Serpent/SNAKE.
- 7. He rides on a dragon and breathes fire. Asmodeus has his roots in ancient Persia. His name is derived from Aeshma, one of the seven archangels, or amarahspands, of Persian mythology. The Hebrews absorbed him into their mythology, where he attained the highest status and most power of all his legends. According to the Hebrews, he is the son of Naamah and Shamdon. Prior to his fall from heaven, he was part of the seraphim, the highest order of Angels. In other Hebrew legends, he is either associated with or the husband of Lilith, the Demon queen of lust. Sometimes he is said to be the offspring of Lilith and Adam. The book of Tobit tells how Asmodeus lusted after a young woman named Sarah and killed each of her seven husbands before the marriages could be consummated. With an eighth suitor, Tobias, in her life, Sarah prayed to God for help. God sent down the archangel Raphael, who instructed Tobias in how to make an incense of the heart and liver of a glanos fish, which would drive away Asmodeus. After Tobias and Sarah were married, Asmodeus appeared in their wedding chamber to kill Tobias, but the incense forced him to flee. He went to Egypt, but Raphael tracked him down and bound him. According to the pseudepigraphical Testament of Solomon,
- 8. Asmodeus lives in the constellation of the Great Bear (Ursa Major). He spreads the wickedness of men, plots against newlyweds, spreads madness about women through the stars, ruins the beauty of virgins, and commits murders. He is forever thwarted by Raphael and the smoking liver and gall of a fish, especially the sheatfish, which lives in Assyrian rivers. He has knowledge of the future. Asmodeus is taken into the presence of King Solomon by the Prince of Demons, Beelzebub. Sullen, arrogant, and defiant, he tells the king he was born of a human mother and an angel father. He also says that Solomon will have only a temporary hold over the Demons; his kingdom eventually will be divided, and Demons will go out again among men and will be worshipped as gods because humans will not know the names of the angels who thwart the Demons. He admits that he is afraid of water. Solomon binds Asmodeus with care. He orders the Demon to be flogged and orders him to state his activities. Asmodeus says, “ I am the renowned Asmodeus; I cause the wickedness of men to spread throughout the world. I am always hatching plots against newlyweds; I mar the beauty of virgins and cause their
- 9. hearts to grow cold. . . . I spread madness about women through the stars and I have often committed a rash of murders.” Solomon puts him in Iron chains and surrounds him with 10 jars full of water, which make the Demon complain bitterly. Asmodeus is forced to make clay vessels for the temple. Solomon also burns the liver and gall of a fish and a branch of storax beneath the Demon, quelling his nasty tongue. Solomon uses his magic ring to force Asmodeus and other Demons to build his magnificent temple. After its completion, Solomon tells Asmodeus that he cannot understand why Demons are so powerful when he, their leader, could be so easily chained. Asmodeus says he will prove his greatness if Solomon will remove his chains and lend him the magical ring. Solomon does so, only to be hurled far away from Jerusalem. Asmodeus steals the ring, forces Solomon into exile, and becomes king himself. He throws the ring into the sea. But Solomon’ s lover, the Ammonite Namah, finds the ring in a fish belly, and the king regains his power. He is immediately transported to Jerusalem when he puts on the ring. As punishment, he puts Asmodeus in a jar. Asmodeus was absorbed into Christian lore, becoming one of the Devil’ s leading agents of provocation. Witches were said to worship him, and magicians and sorcerers attempted to conjure him to strike out at enemies.
- 10. Grimoires of magical instruction sternly admonish anyone seeking an audience with Asmodeus to summon him bareheaded out of respect. Johann Weyer said Asmodeus rules gambling houses. According to the Lemegton, a major grimoire, Asmodeus is the “ first and chiefest” under Amaymon and goes before all other Demons. He gives the ring of virtues and teaches arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and all handicrafts. When properly summoned, he gives full and true answers to all questions. He can make a person invisible and will reveal all treasures under the guard of Amaymon. He was one of the infernal agents blamed for the obscene sexual possession of the Louviers nuns in 17th century France (see Louviers possessions). ROLES and full answers unto thy demands.

- 11. The Demon Amon is a Fallen Angel and the seventh of the 72 Spirits of Solomon. In Hell, Amon is a strong and powerful marquis. APPERANCE He appears first as a wolf, but on a magician’ s command, he will take on the shape of a man with a raven’ s head and dog’ s teeth. ROLES OF AMON He accurately tells about the past and the future. He makes men and women fall in love with each other, and he settles disputes between friends and enemies. He rules over 40 Legions of Demons. Drawing upon a manuscript copy of the Goetia, Reginald Scot records about this Demon:
- 12. “ 2.Amon or Aamon, is a great and mightie marques, and commeth abroad in the likenes of a woolfe, having a serpents taile, spetting out and breathing flames of fier; when he putteth on the shape of a man, he sheweth out dogs teeth, and a great head like to a mightie raven; he is the strongest prince of all other, and understandeth of all things past and to come, he procureth favour, and reconcileth both freends and foes, and ruleth fourtie legions of divils.” Collin de Plancy took the artistic liberty of compressing Amon’ s two forms into one.He should have been represented as either a fire-breathing wolf with a snake for a tail,or as a man with a raven’ s head that had doglike teeth in its beak.Demons often appear in two primary forms, the first of which is wilder and more frightening, but the second, human with only a few bestial traits. It is up to the magician to command the evoked Demon to put on its human guise so that communication with it can be made more easily, and with less risk of injury. You can see this dual appearance of Demons in the two images of the Demon Camio. From “ The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King” (1904) Written by S.L. MacGregor Mathers The Seventh Spirit is Amon. He is a Marquis great in power, and most stern.
- 13. He appeareth like a Wolf with a Serpent’ s tail, vomiting out of his mouth flames of fire; but at the command of the Magician he putteth onthe shape of a Man with Dog’ s teeth beset in ahead like a Raven; or else like a Man with a Raven’ s head (simply). He telleth all things Past and to Come. He procureth feuds and reconcileth controversies between friends. He governeth 40 Legions of Spirits.

The Demonologist Johann Weyer called this claim “ not credible.” ANDREALPHUS Andrealphus is a Fallen Angel and 65th of the 72 Spirits of Solomon. Andrealphus is a mighty marquis, who rules 30 Legions. APPERANCE. He first appears as a noisy peacock and then as a human. ROLES
- 15. He can transform people into birds and make them very cunning. He teaches perfect geometry and everything pertaining to measurements, as well as astronomy. We know that this Demon is very vain and proud, since he comes in the form of apeacock. The animal forms assumed by the Demons express their true natures andpersonalities in a symbolic way. “ Admeasurement” is an old word for practicalmathematics. It was also known as mensuration. By astronomy the Demon meanspractical astrology, the actual casting and interpretation of astrological charts. It isunlikely that this Demon could physically change a human being into the shape of abird, but more probable that he merely cast a glamour over the victim so that hethought himself to be a bird, and saw himself as a bird. Andrealphus - Demon and Spirit of Solomon From “ The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King” (1904) Written by Samuel MacGregor Liddel Mathers ANDREALPHUS. – The Sixty-fifth Spirit is Andrealphus.

- 19. The Demon Baal (Bael, Baell) is an agricultural and fertility deity of Canaan turned into a Fallen Angel and a Demon. Many minor deities of ancient Syria and Persia carried the name Baal, which means “ the lord.” The greatest Baal was the son of El, the High God of Canaan. He was the lord of life and ruled the death-rebirth cycle. He engaged in a battle with Mot (death) and was slain and sent to the underworld. The crops withered, until Baal’ s sister, Anath,
