Astaroth the Grand Duke of Hell | History of Angels and Demons Explained

Astaroth, historically, has origins likely traceable to the Phoenician goddess Astarte, a counterpart of the Babylonian Ishtar and the earlier Sumerian Inanna. These goddesses were associated with fertility, love, and war. Over time, due to the syncretism of religious beliefs and the demonization of pagan deities by early Christian writers, Astarte's identity transformed into Astaroth in demonological grimoires. In these grimoires, Astaroth is often described with a very specific and detailed appearance. For instance, in the "Lesser Key of Solomon", he is described as a hurtful angel riding on an infernal beast like a dragon and holding a viper in his right hand. This description is a blend of various symbolic elements: Origins in Ancient Deities: From a Historical perspective, Astarte was an ancient deity worshiped in the Eastern Mediterranean region, particularly in Phoenicia, Canaan, and Babylon. She represented fertility, love, and war. Astarte is often equated with Ishtar (Babylonian) and Inanna (Sumerian), showcasing a common pattern of shared deities in ancient civilizations. Demonization in Christian Contexts: With the rise of Christianity, many pagan gods and goddesses were demonized, a process where deities of older religions are reinterpreted as evil beings in the new religious framework. This was often a strategy to diminish the importance of older deities and promote the new religion. #occult #mythology #history #demon 00:00 Astaroth and Astarte 00:55 Astaroth in the Lesser Key of Solomon and Apperance 01:32 Astaroth’s Personality and powers
