One of the two queens of Hell and is the wife to one of the three High Kings, Satan. This information was documented by me through speaking to and working with this ancient goddess.
Rulerships: politics, women’s rights, legislation, acquisitions, protection, guardianship of children/adolescents, love potions, contracts, and Law
History: In the beginning of her existence, Ashtoreth came into being as one of the Angels (agents of the Source), but during the War against the tyrant god, Jehovah, she and many others were thrown into Hell. Upon crashing into this bleak wasteland, the most powerful of the Angels rose up and created their own kingdoms. These three Angels were Lucifer, Satan, and Leviathan. Seeking to have a place of power, Ashtoreth left to be with Satan and became his wife; thus becoming the queen of his domain.
During the time of Carthage, Ashtoreth describes how she was known to them as Ashur-Tanit and was their goddess of war and sex. She also created an aspect (personality shard) of herself that represents a more gentle persona of hers; this was the goddess Anat (also known as Tanit). Ashtoreth has also had several children who were goddesses of the ancient Middle East, one is the goddess Astarte (who humans have confused as being Ashtoreth), and shares in her mother’s courage, fierceness, and beauty. Another is goddess Atargatis, and with Semyaza (Azazel before he Fell), she bore the Arabian goddesses Al-Uzza, Al-lat, and Manat. Although after the War against Jehovah and his destructions against her people, Ashtoreth became very distant and angry towards humanity since they sided with him.
Element: Fire, Earth
Colours: Shades of red (especially crimson)
Appearance: a woman with a regal face, tanned skin, long black hair, and fiery red eyes. She typically wears an orange and crimson dress of medieval aristocracy (long, elegant gown with thin sleeves and no frills). She has tall, straight horns but no longer has any wings. Sometimes, Ashtoreth wears long black gloves with sharp talons at the ends to slash people with.
Personality: In general, Ashtoreth is serious, detached, regal, materialistic, courageous, vindictive, is cruel at times, and has a deep-seated hatred against Christians, especially since it is a religion which causes weakness and they continuously use her name in exorcisms. She has also been irritated over the fact that old “demonologists” wrote her in grimoires as being a male and even spelt her name in a plural form for whatever reason (Astaroth).
During battles, Ashtoreth is fierce and fights with dual long-swords, cutting through enemies like a storm. She tends to like things such as rock music, rock concerts, motorcycles, cheering crowds, gladiatorial games, destructive fires, formality, luxury, and gaining new material possessions. She also enjoys a particular blood-sport in Hell where hellhounds race against one another and each loser is devoured by the one that wins. With regards to politics, Ashtoreth holds a rather Authoritarian stance and can also be militant at times. Like queen Lilith, Ashtoreth hates being lusted over and may often aim to kill the person responsible. She has even at times eaten some humans raw, so she is really not a demoness to be angered.
Overall, Ashtoreth is not one of the demons people should work with if they are new to demonolatry. She has a very particular way she wishes to be treated and seeks vengeance whenever scorned or treated offensively (if you lust over her, call her by a nickname, make jokes about her, etc). If someone also offends her daughter, Astarte, she will become deeply angered over this as well. However, if someone manages to earn being on her good side, she will often become a bit more approachable to them, being kind yet stern at the same time.
While Ashtoreth rules over love potions, she is not connected to love but rather to possessiveness. She shows that you can ask for her assistance in forcing someone to fall in love with you, but also that these spells will always bring karmic debt to you in return since you’re going against free-will. Nevertheless, she will help in such matters, as long as sufficient offerings are provided.
How to call her: Speak to Ashtoreth as you would with any other entity, though be very polite and considerate. Contact her through telepathically speaking in your mind, directing the words to her (you can do this verbally, but if malicious spirits hear, they may pretend to be her). Try to dress in your best clothes when inviting her to you (don’t wear sleepwear or anything) since you are hosting divine royalty and she especially expects this treatment. Be courteous and respectfully let her know when you are done meeting with her.
Things she can help with: gaining favour with others, help in court matters, becoming a better politician, revenge, protection of minors, assistance in love potions, and the strengthening of women’s rights
Her Enn (for meditation or devotion): Tasa alora foren Astaroth

*she hates being offered desserts or being pampered with special foods since Ashtoreth prefers Authoritarian pampering where she coldly seizes things. If people try to spoil her, she becomes agitated
