Most of my career as a sorcerer of the LHP has been spent under the patronage of Asmodeus. Asmodeus is a bastardization of the Persian name Aeshma Daeva. Or Demon of wrath. However he always insisted that the original translation was wrong, and in fact his name translates as Demon of PASSION. Which of course encompasses both lust and wrath, as well as ambition which is the “lust for power”. Asmodeus and Aeshma ARE in fact the same entity, albeit different aspects thereof. Aeshma is far more atavistic (primal) and intense then Asmodeus. Asmodeus more often then not appeared to me as a very well dressed gentleman in black with a crimson tail coat with gold trim, and long black hair. He is very eloquent and direct, and loves to talk about whatever you wish to talk about. He will always teach you that which you wish to learn, all completely without judgement. His only demand, at least to me, has been that I approach and treat him as an equal… and a king. Yes that has a double meaning in that we too are sovereign. Treat him as a King and he will treat you as one.
He once made a claim that I cannot verify, that Soloman, in point of fact “worshiped” him, not Yaweh. I cannot in any way prove or disprove this as there is little to no evidence that Soloman ever existed. He is a consummate sorcerer, as lord of the 7 spheres. Some take this to mean that he is the master of all 7 chakras. Even though that is true, what is meant by this (according to him) is that he is a master of all forms of planetary magick. As classical Persian astrology only contained 7 planets. He is understandably very knowledgeable in astrology as well. He can teach you virtually ANY form of magick, and is generally pleased to do so. He often comes to sexually repressed people, or those with sexual hangups (I was one such person). He is particularly knowledgeable about sex magick and tantra. His caller must be aware that he will steer the conversation in the direction of sexual or violent topics if you don’t keep track of what you wanted to ask him.
He isn’t for those sorcerers that are faint of heart, as many of the rites and spells he will teach you are of a very “morally” questionable nature. AKA requiring blood, sacrifice, semen, Virginal blood, human and/or animal bones, making human tallow candles, and Sadomasochistic and/or sexual means of raising power in ritual, to name a few. He also seems to be very fond of beeswax poppets.
Aeshma on the other hand does seem to be his wrathful and protective side. And often appears far more bestial in nature. Invoke Aeshma if you ever want to experience “blood-lust”. My first invocation to curse using Aeshma was greeted by a very eager voice in my ear “YESSSSS!!” What Followed was My first experience of having a raging hard-on while casting a death curse. That night I went six times with the girl I was seeing at the time. So be careful with Aeshma, as sex and violence often go hand in hand with him.
Asmodeus’s presence is quite intense at first, but seems to weaken after a second or two. He is very Fiery, and promotes a certain sense of personal power and resolve. Aeshma’s presence however never really lets up, and instead of considering his presence “Fiery”, I would say it is closer to an erupting volcano, with a smile on it’s face, enraptured in a perpetual orgasm.
I asked Asmodeus once what his purpose was and he responded “to fan the divine spark of the sorcerer into an inferno, so that he might rise to the highest heights, and set the world ablaze with infernal glory”. I found that statement interesting, as he portrayed as the archdemon of Golachab. The demonic host of that sphere being called “the arsonists” or the “burning ones”.
He also admitted to me that he isn’t above using deception as a teaching device. As it is one of, if not the best method of “getting you thick headed humans to think for yourselves.” And believe me he is a MASTER of deception. Please note that when I speak of deception as described here, it does NOT mean lying. He refers to deception as “the height of teaching, and of social virtues.” And he actually detests lying, and will will praise honesty and integrity. Deception is the clever use of truth, or the omission thereof, to get another to think as we wish for them to think. The fault of misunderstanding falls then on the one listening to our words without being mindful. It has nothing to do with creating a fantasy and passing it off as truth. The later only creates obstacles, while the former creates opportunities. He is more then willing to teach you this skill as well.
He is Eloquent beyond words and can help you to master any language. And his razor wit can cut down any social rival. He can help you to not only get over social awkwardness, but to dominate any social situation. He can help you develop self esteem, confidence, charisma and self respect. As well as teach you poise, and bestow upon you a mantle of personal majesty and regal bearing. He can give you financial advice, instruct you on becoming financially literate and help you to acquire wealth and prosperity. VAST wealth and prosperity. (if you follow his teachings with discipline). Need some quick cash? Ask Asmodeus!
He can teach you how to beautify your body, and how to be irresistible to the opposite sex. He can help you to lose weight and to grow stronger. He will teach you how to develop positive character traits, and discard traits that are counterproductive. (He will unabashedly point out your flaws, so be ready!) He can even bestow upon you good fashion sense.
He is a King, treat him so and he will return the favor a hundred fold. Although he has never once demanded an offering from me, saying “Your dedication to your craft is more important to me then what you give me”. He does hint that there are certain things in particular that he likes. SO… if you are going to give him something, here are some of the things I offer him that he seems to enjoy: He LOVES debauchery!! Have him get you into an orgy and place a number of his open seals around the area where it takes place. Or give him virginal blood soaked panties. He likes EXPENSIVE things, worthy of a King. Gold. gems, rubies in particular. He loves expensive alcohols, like high end scotch, champagne, wine or cognac. Can’t afford any of these things? Then ask him to help you get the money, so that you CAN give him these things. Interestingly enough, he also likes pizza. (but I can’t figure out if he actually likes pizza or if he likes it because of the fact that when I have it, I don’t like to fucking share it with anyone… It’s MY pizza damn it!!!)
His colors are Black, Crimson and Gold
His incense is Frankincense, Benzoin, mastic and saffron
Asmodeus, is one of the most powerful, knowledgeable and VERSATILE spirits I have ever worked with. I have learned so much from him, and I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of his potential. I hope more of you are able to answer the call of this truly awe inspiring being, and become the kings and queens you should be.

PS. He actually can’t stand his enn but he will answer to it the first few times. Be sure to ask him for something better, and attuned to your own spirit.
