Who Is Astaroth?

Question

Anyone who knows anything about Astaroth please tell me anything. and does anyone know if there is a religion that worships him?

Answer 1

Firstly let me answer your actual question. According to the Encylopedia of Delerium:

"Astaroth/Astarte : The name is derived from the goddess Astarte with the ending distorted to closely resemble the Hebrew boshet, meaning "shame." Her original name "Astoreth" meant "womb" and she was associated with fertility. It is thought that she and the goddess Anath were the same deity in Biblical times.

In Egypt, Anath and Astarte were two separate deities. They were known, along with the goddess Qadesh, as the "Lady of Heaven." Of the three, Astarte seemed to be most popular. She was thought to have some relation to Seth and may hav ebeen the daughter of the sun god Ra or Ptah. She also seems to be the consort of Moab's national god, Chemosh.

She is also associated with the Hebrew "Asherah"/"Ashura", the consort of Yahweh. Other interpretations translate "Astoreth" as "lady", similar to that of Baal, which means "lord." A Babylonian title of hers is Qadesh, similar to Qadishtu, meaning harlot.

Astarte is depicted in a number of ways, sometimes with the head of a lioness, cow, or bull. Sometimes she carries a shield and club as she rides into battle naked on her horse or driving her chariot.

Astarte corresponds to the Arabian male deity, Athtar, is identified with Aphrodite, Mylitta, and sometimes Tyche, as well as the Assyrian Istaru."

-----------------------------------------

Now, as for present worship. There is some continuing worship of Astarte/Astaroth in some neo-pagan circles (I've included one link that may be of interest below). Astarte's name is also included in some invocations and songs within Wicca as well.... I've been to ceremonies with my parter (who is Wiccan, I'm Christian) where she is mentioned... hmmmm.... "Isis, Iannana, Astarte, Hecate, Diane" I don't remember any of the rest of the invocation, but I remember that string of names.

Have fun, believe in yourself first and have love always in your heart for everyone.

Kind thoughts,

Answer 2

Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot, and Asteroth) is a Grand Duke of Hell; his main assistants are four demons called Aamon, Pruslas, Barbatos and Rashaverak. In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, Astaroth is depicted as a nude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings after the main, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a wolf or dog. According to Sebastian Michaelis he is a demon of the First Hierarchy, who seduces by means of laziness and vanity, and his adversary is St. Bartholomew, who can protect against him for he has resisted Astaroth's temptations. To others, he teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him.

According to S.Francis Barrett, Astaroth is the prince of accusers and inquisitors. According to some demonologists of the 16th century, August is the month during which this demon's attacks against humans are stronger. His name seems to come from the goddess ‘Ashtart/Astarte which was rendered in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible as Astharthe (singular) and Astharoth (plural), that last form rendered in the King James Version of the Bible as Ashtaroth. It seems this plural form was taken either from the Latin or from some translation or other by those who did not know it was a plural form nor knew that it referred to a goddess, seeing it only as a name applied to some god other than God and therefore the name of a devil.

Answer 3

The chief, Astaroth or Astarte, is considered as 'the
impure Venus of the Syrians, whom thy represent with the head of an *** or of
a bull, and the breasts of a woman'. The breast part equates...I think. The
German magical order, the FOGC, included Astaroth in a trio of beings that
brought initiates 'untold personal power, influence, and wealth', along with a
scare on the 23rd of June. The Satanic Bible includes Astaroth in the list of
Infernal Names, and in the 1670's 'Madame de Montespan sacrificed children to
Astaroth and Asmodeus, 'princes of amity', in her attempt to retain her hold
over Louis XIV's affections.' The Grimorium Verum gives an example of a
conjuration to Astaroth, along with interesting written characters. There are
a host of other Grimories, Exorcistic experiences, Qabalistic characteristics,
etc., that could be found.

Answer 5

Astaroth is female. She was known as Ishtar and Inanna, but in the Middle Ages was summoned as a male demon of the Goetia. Yes, people still worship her as Astaroth, it's called demonolotry or demon worship. Christians usually think it makes do with animal and human sacrifice, but this isn't true at all, Considering they get their info from Chick tracts and pastors claiming they were a High Priest of Satan for 30 years and killed babies.

Astaroth Demon

Answer 7

Astaroth the name breaks down into Astronomer Star of Others Venus the evil twin of earth unleashed her self as the worse and best of life and free will to choose. The star of Astaroth: as in the movie bed knobs and broom sticks are the basic five elements of life Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, Water. also the words Truguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee. are religious terms of the language of God. They are word of life and death there is not one without the other even though life goes on there is still death. Atraroth was what you see in yourself weather it's good or bad, sent to other worlds as Fertility of life and a Angel of death serving only God for there is know God before him. She was a Goddess and a fallen Angel the mother of Earth, Wood, Fire, Metal, Water, the elements of life and death.The star also was said the the words were body parts and some believe which is partly true if you understand how it could be Wood is strength,Fire is destruction, Earth is health, Metal is spirit, Water is weakness. this also is partly true and also wrong where water is weakness, it is also a necessity in life as metal is spirit that can be miss understood the best way to understand spirit is like a battery positive and genitive to make it work same as the earth north pole and south pole. the spirit is good and evil you can't have one with out the other like life and death. Fire is destruction but is also energy and is a living element that eats and breaths.and so on. Now our brother and lord Jesus Christ the son of our father God gave his life hear for us and the same on other planets therefore the lord of our Sun's for without him we will parish. other's believe Rae is the sun god how can this be true if there is only one God and know other before him. Jesus Christ is not a God he is our brother and the lord of the sun's shining down on us watch the growth of life. Astaroth was mistaking as a man named of a woman canaanite the great princes of hell, Astaroth form was as you seen her and no other if you seen her as a man or woman a snake or bird it is free will that makes you believe in what we see. Example you see her in a hooker outfit is she a harlot or a woman of miss fortune this goes back to positive and negative thought of the spirit know as metal. Earth is the ground of all know as health makes perfect scenes with out where would we be? the saying women are from Venus is a correct fact. so where are men from? Man was created in the image of God we come from the body God, that is everything, we are made of energy particles, for everything is energy.Man and Woman positive and negative energy, same as love and hate. Astaroth is a goddess not a God, she is both good and evil you choose your own fate not her when you look in the mirror what do you see a good person or evil person, happy or sad, creative or destructive the truth is you see both you can't have one without the other. Thanks for your time i could go on for ever on Astaroth and the great star of Astaroth my email is [e-mail] if you have any question live free and choose wisely.
