Asmodeus is one of the biggest names in the whole grimoire, and this stainless steel sigil pendant carries some serious weight. He's the 32nd spirit of the Ars Goetia, a King, commanding seventy-two legions — one of the highest legion counts in the entire text — and appearing with three heads (a bull, a man, and a ram), a serpent's tail, goose feet, and flame billowing from his mouth as he rides a hellish dragon and carries a lance with a banner.
Despite the fearsome entrance, his office leans surprisingly academic: teaching arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and handicrafts perfectly, as well as making a person invisible and revealing the location of treasures. He's most widely known outside the Goetia through the Book of Tobit, where he's tied to lust and desire and disrupts marriages — the reputation that's followed him into most modern demonology.
Wear it for boldness, for hidden knowledge, for the kind of confidence that walks into a room breathing fire — literally, in his case.
Asmodeus (called Asmoday in the Ars Goetia, also known as Ashmedai in Hebrew tradition) is the 32nd spirit of the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, ranked a King commanding seventy-two legions of spirits. He's described with three heads — bull, man, and ram — a serpent's tail, goose-like feet, breathing fire, and riding an infernal dragon while carrying a lance topped with a banner.
His office in the grimoire is notably intellectual: he teaches arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and handicrafts to perfection, gives rings of virtue, makes a person invisible, and shows the location of hidden treasure. That's a striking contrast to his broader reputation, which comes largely from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit, where he appears as the primary antagonist, tied closely to lust and desire, and repeatedly disrupts the marriages of the character Sarah before being driven off.
His name is believed to trace back to the Avestan aēšma-daēva, combining "wrath" with "demon," and he appears across an unusually wide range of traditions — Talmudic legend (where he's linked to the construction of Solomon's Temple), the Quran's account of Solomon, and later Christian demonology, where Peter Binsfeld's classification names him the representative demon of lust. Despite his prominent role in these older, angel-adjacent legends, some traditions actually hold that Asmodeus was never a fallen angel at all — a distinction that sets him apart from most of his fellow Goetic spirits.
