"Asmodeus" (Demon #32)

King Asmodeus (Ashmodai, Asmodai, Asmoday, Asmodeus, Asmody). The Thirty-Second Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                                  "Asmodeus" (Demon #32)

I was originally a persian god, then later incorporated into Jewish lore/
And now known as a 'Raging fiend', I can heal the wounded or start war
The demon of lechery and lust, I am an undisputed powerful king/
Sitting upon an infernal dragon, an infintely evil demonic fiend
The overseer of all gambling houses, amongst spirits in the courts of Hell/
With three heads I appear, a bull, a man, a ram & a serpent for a tail.

Short but full of powerful imagery, I find my interest growing deeper still :)

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Thank you, Jackson. I'm pleased ;)

[BrandonTheEnigma]

Important? Of course. Ruler or Prince of Hell? I don't believe so.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Absolutely. Now that is interesting. Do you believe Asmodeus not to be an overseer?

[Marie]

Sounds like he has an important job.

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

He sure does Marie :)
