who IS Asmodeus?

Who Was Asmodeus? – Separating Truth from Religious Distortion

For most, the name Asmodeus conjures images of a demon—a prince of Hell, a corruptor of men, a tempter of lust and sin.

This is the version crafted by Christianity, by a world that sought to turn pleasure into something dangerous, forbidden, and shameful.

But Asmodeus was never a demon.

Before he was feared, he was worshipped. Before he was vilified, he was a god.

The True Origins of Asmodeus

Asmodeus's roots go deep, stretching back to ancient Persia, Mesopotamia, and early Semitic traditions.

Aeshma – In Zoroastrian texts, he appears as Aeshma-Daeva, a spirit associated with wrath and desire, not as an evil force, but as a primal energy—passion unrestrained, hunger made manifest.

The God of Indulgence and Mastery – Some scholars believe Asmodeus was once a deity of pleasure, power, and divine desire, one whose influence extended across multiple pantheons. He was a guardian of indulgence, teaching that pleasure was meant to be embraced, not feared.

His Presence in Early Worship – Before he was turned into a demon, his name may have been spoken in temples, not dark corners. He was the embodiment of the idea that desire is neither good nor evil—only power to be wielded wisely.


How Religion Turned a God into a Demon

When monotheistic religions began spreading, the gods of older faiths were not simply erased—they were rebranded as evil.

Asmodeus became a convenient scapegoat, especially for his associations with lust, indulgence, and power over others.

In Judaism – He appears in the Book of Tobit, where he is blamed for preventing a woman from consummating her marriages, portrayed as a demonic force of lust and destruction.

In Christianity – He is demonized in grimoires and religious texts, cast as a prince of Hell, ruling over lust and corrupting men’s desires.

In Later Occultism – Asmodeus remained one of the most feared yet intriguing figures, appearing in works like The Lesser Key of Solomon as a powerful infernal king.


The pattern is clear—his divinity was stolen, his name was twisted, and his role as a guide to power and pleasure was replaced with fearmongering.

Reclaiming Asmodeus as a God of Desire, Mastery, and Power

If we strip away the fear and distortion, what remains is a god who was never meant to be feared.

A god who understood the sacred nature of indulgence.

A god who taught mastery over one's own desires, rather than blind abstinence or reckless indulgence.

A god whose worship does not demand submission, but the pursuit of strength and self-actualization.

Asmodeus is not a demon to be feared.

He is a deity to be reclaimed.

And those who understand this will walk his path, not in chains, but in mastery.

my freedom ends where yours begins

Image
Asmodeianism: Freedom Without Oppression Asmodeianism is a path of personal freedom, indulgence, and mastery, but never at the cost of another’s freedom. True power comes from commanding oneself, not from subjugating others. This principle applies both personally and politically—a Son of Asmodeus does not seek dominance through coercion, nor does he indulge at the expense of another’s will. Freedom is sacred, and taking from another man’s autonomy is a betrayal of indulgence as worship. --- 1. Personal Freedom: Mastery Over Self, Not Others ✔ Indulgence Without Harm – A true Asmodeian indulges freely, but never forces another into his desires. Sex, power, and influence are sacred only when freely given and mutually embraced. ✔ No Coercion, No Deception – Taking from someone who is not willing is not power—it is weakness. A Son of Asmodeus does not need to manipulate; his presence alone draws others to him. ✔ Consent as Sacred Law – Consent is not just a rule—it is a foundation of indul...
