April fools to me, the ultimate fool who got an idea late at night and actually stayed up to draw it.
Zoe belongs to @orange-plum and her comic Satan and Me (highly recommend it, can be found @thisiskindagross ) Zoe is a side character that maybe appears 4 times but like why not devote brain space to this very tiny demon lady
Just finished Kali demon three days ago. The full version can be seen on my Instagram and Ko-fi accounts.
This lady is really really sweet. She love snakes and jewelry especially if they are made out of human bones .
I had to really get creative with her body markings. And before anyone says anything, yes I know Kali is a respectable Hindu goddess and not a demon. This is just a Kali themed demon. But I like to think it’s her holding her husband Shiva in snake form.

Magical/Ritual Lore:
Because iron is seldom found in pure form except in meteorites, the earliest iron available for use by humans was obtained from these strange celestial objects. Meteorites, which were observed falling from the heavens, were used to make simple tools, supplementing bone and stone implements by earlier humans.
Throughout most of the world, humans eventually learned how to remove iron from its ore, which made it available for wider use.
Once this occurred, it was soon limited to purely physical applications and was restricted in magic and religion. In ancient Greece, for example, no iron was brought into the temples. Roman priests could not be shaved or scraped with iron during bodily cleansing.
Ireland, Scotland, Finland, China, Korea, India, and other countries have severe taboos against iron. Again and again in ancient rituals fire was made without iron, altars built without its use, and magical rituals performed only after divesting the body of all traces of the metal.
Herbs were usually collected with non-iron knives, owing to the belief that the vibrations of this metal would “jam” or “confuse” the herb’s energies.
The Hindus once believed that the use of iron in buildings would spread epidemics, and, even to this day, a gift of iron in any form is thought by some to be unlucky.
However, iron did have its place in magic. Specifically, it was worn or used in protective rituals. Its powerful, projective vibrations were thought to be feared by demons, ghosts, fairies, genii and other fantastic creatures.
In China, dragons were thought to fear iron. When rain was needed, pieces of the metal were thrown into “dragon pools” to upset the creatures and send them into the sky in the form of rain clouds.
In old Scotland, iron was used to avert danger when a death had occurred in the house. Iron nails or knitting needles were thrust into every item of food-cheese, grain, meat and so on-to act as a lightning rod, attracting the confusing vibrations that death may arouse
within the living and thus sparing the food of possible contamination.
Classical Romans drove nails into their house walls to preserve their health, especially during times of plague.
Because of its protective effects iron was sometimes thought, conversely, to be sacred, and thieves in ancient Ireland wouldn’t dare to steal it.
For heavy protection, place small pieces of iron in each room of the house or bury at the four comers of your property. In earlier times, iron fences were sometimes used to halt the flow of negativity into the home.
During protective or defensive magic, wear an iron ring engraved with the symbol of Mars. Or, obtain a three-inch thick white candle and eight old iron nails. Warm the nails by a fire (or in a red candle's flame), then thrust each into the white candle in a random pattern. Light the nail-studded candle and visualize yourself as guarded, protected, secure.
Wearing iron or carrying a small piece of this metal enhances physical strength and is an excellent talisman for athletes.
Iron is also used during healing rituals. A small piece is placed beneath the pillow at night. This was originally done to scare away the "demons" that had caused the disease but can be thought of as strengthening the body’s ability to heal itself.
Iron rings or bracelets are worn to draw out illnesses from the body. This dates back to at least ancient Roman times.
A curious ritual from Germany to cure toothache: Pour oil onto a piece of heated iron. The fumes which rise from the iron will act on the problem.
In old Scotland, healing stones-quartz crystals or holey stones were kept in iron boxes to guard against supernatural creatures who might steal them.
Iron is also worn for grounding, for closing down the psychic centers, and for impeding the flow of energy from the body. This, of course, isn’t the best during magical ritual but is fine when the subject is under psychic or emotional attack, is physically depleted or wishes to focus on physical matters.
Iron horseshoes and the nails that attach them to the hooves are ancient magical tools. They might have first been used in ancient Greece, where they were called seluna and were associated with the Moon and the goddess Selene.
A horseshoe hung in the home over the front door confers protection.
While theories differ as to the “proper” way to hang the horseshoe, I always place it points up. Ideally, it is to be nailed with three of its original nails.
An old iron horseshoe nail is sometimes bent into a ring (if you can find one long enough) and worn for luck and healing.
If you have had something stolen from you and have a fireplace handy, try this spell. Take a horseshoe nail that you’ve found by chance. Drive this into the fireplace, visualizing the stolen object returning to your home. It is done.
There are still magicians and Wiccans who remove all traces of iron from their bodies before working magic, but this custom is fading into oblivion.

When it comes to rank, Samael’s place was higher than the Hayyoth and Seraphim. He is a fear striking angel with twelve wings. Samael is known as the venom of God. Hardly an angel he is, however. He is described as an accuser, seducer, and destroyer. He takes the soul from man. He resides in the seventh Heaven and is the commander of two million angels. He is the chief of Satans. He became the consort of Lilith, and with her had a host of demon children. (The most notable being Asmodeus.) Samael is NOT Lucifer. Samael was the very first Archangel created by God to execute his will at any cost. Due to the primal nature of his being, Samael is described as being both good and evil. However, the descriptions about Samael’s acts clearly bear the testimony of his truly evil nature. He has a whole different idea for humanity than God. He intends to be the new God some day. He aims to overthrow Heaven and toss it into the corrupted claws of Aeshma. He aims to destroy faith and hopes in the hearts of his Father’s dear humans. He will corrupt and control. He’s evil, spiteful, treacherous, and charming.
Origin: Christianity. Samael is 2,000 years old.
“Lucifer? Darling, I am so much worse. I am the very venom of God. I inject cancer and plague the world with pain. I am there when tragedy strikes humanity down. I am there when an old fool takes his last breath. I am a weapon of both Heaven and Hell. You pray to him? Who do you think sent me? Who do you think ordered your death? He’s not listening to you. He’s too busy promoting free will while having me execute those who go against Him or speak ill of His name. I am the closest you will ever get to God, so worship me instead.” -Samael.

He is chaos. The demon of wrath, rage, fury, and desire. Aeshma is one of the fiercest, most feared demons in Hell. His story originates in Zoroastrianism; an ancient Persian religion founded in the seventh century. Aeshma is the being responsible for horrendous acts of malice and aggression. He is the king of war and genocide. He lives to see the world bleed. In Hell, he is an exceptional warrior. A military commander of an army made up of 770,000 demons. His influence over rage, violence, and war is just the tip of the iceberg. He lures lost humans into disobedience, defiance, drunkenness, desire, and paranoia. His epithet is, “Of The Bloody Mace.” Aeshma can distract any person and lead them away from their faith and good doing. He sends people into a spiral of poor decisions and violence. He’s powerful and spiteful. He is the complete opposite of religious devotion and discipline. He makes a mockery of any faith and finds joy in bringing people to their lowest points.
Origin: Persian/Iranian. Aeshma is 1,400 years old.
“You actually think your existence is that significant? The world would be exactly the same, with or without you. You’re not important.” -Aeshma.

King of demons. Asmodeus possesses the will of fire. He is king for a reason. He dwells in the arts of lust, vengeance, gambling, immortality, possession, pheromone generation, telekinesis, powerful strength, impressive speed and stamina, telepathy, invulnerability, teleportation and compulsion. He rules over the Nine Hells. He is a born leader and manipulator. Asmodeus has 172 legions of demons under his command. Those who fall to Asmodeus’ ways will be sentenced to an eternity in the second circle of Hell. In this story he is handsome and alluring. He is portrayed in many texts as having good manners and an engaging nature. That’s where he will get you. His name and acts are spoken of in multiple religions dating all the way back to the third century. Although it is theorized in some texts, Asmodeus and Aeshma are not the same demon, nor is there any relation. In fact, they are considered to be fierce competitors. Each building their armies to one day face one another in a bloody battle.
Origin: Persian, later Jewish & Christian. He is 1,800 years old.
“I’ve also got eighteen hundred years of experience to your five. Stay focused. Anger is necessary. However, too much will bury you. If you are feeling like you can’t control it, let me know. If you ignore it and lose yourself to it, I will put you in the ground. Let’s not let it come to that.” -Asmodeus.

But what do they want with Talon? Why? Come on my journey with me through the series and find out what these devilishly charming men want with a small town kid.
you’d think that demons would have a lot more sympathy for the virgin sacrifices and a lot less for the guy holding both of them captive against their will
guy wearing a hooded robe and holding a tome of ancient magic: o foul demon, i have summoned you here to -
the demon, walking straight past the sacrifice and towards the guy who summoned them with murderous intent: is this guy bothering you queen?
@the-knights-who-say-book how could you leave this gem in the tags???
Ok, but imagine after that the demon just doesn’t leave her alone? Like, the demon does demon-y things to the creep in the hood, but now the demon is like, invested in what happens to the woman and she doesn’t seem too bad, so why not stick around? So she’s trying to get back to her life as usual but there’s just this demon. Hanging around all the time. Following her around grocery stores. Eating all of the cereal in her apartment. Sitting with her on the bus at night and staring down creeps.
And like, maybe they’re on a late bus and they see some dudes harassing some poor girl and she steps up to say something and the demons all like, “oh cool! We’re doing this again? Get fucked, creep!” And does his demon-y thing on the dudes to save the girl. And some how, shit like that keeps happening to them and they become known as some sort of vigilante justice dealers and the woman low-key hates it, but hey, she’s doing the right thing and really, how bad could this demon be?

Ok @gayarsonist I hope you don’t mind but I kind of ran with this a little bit.

People think that the part of a sacrifice that does the summoning is the blood. That precious, precious life, bleeding out into a ritual meant to pull something hideous from beyond, and force it to serve.
It’s why simply cutting your hand or the back of your arm will only result in imps. It’s why a single drop of blood doesn’t yield any results at all. The more blood given, the more life drained away, the more power you call to you.
That’s what people think.
But correlation does not equal causation, and people can be so very wrong.
The true component for a summoning is pain.
A level of pain that rips through dimensions, through time, through space, pierces the fabric of the heavens and hells and all that’s in between – that is what calls to power. And the pain of a sacrifice, of being a sacrifice, especially if unwilling or unknowing? Well, that calls a special sort of power.
Hell is full of demons, because we made our peace with what we are; we are not evil, we just are. And out of all the beings that can respond to a summoning, we are the ones most likely to do so.
Why? Curiosity. Usually boredom. If someone is willing to cause so much damage then some of us will, at the very least, go and see why. Some of us are even malicious enough to do what is requested.
It’s been a while since I broke my apathy, and answered.
