Asmodeus
Asmodeus was one of Lucifer's companions and together with him was thrown from Heaven.
He is the master of gambling, a great lecher, overcome by immeasurable lust. Asmodeus has fun, fanning jealousy, generating conflicts in families, causing jealousy, forcing people to cheat on each other.
But there are other versions of its origin.
An ancient Jewish legend tells that his mother was a woman named Naama, and one of the angels who followed Lucifer acted as his father. In the magic book "The Testament of Solomon" Asmodeus is described as violent and loud. He uses his abilities in order to alienate husbands and wives from each other, at the same time inflaming lust in them, forcing them to betray and treason.
Asmodeus appears on a dragon with a sword in his hand. Asmodeus has three heads: the head of a bull, a ram and a man. According to some ideas, instead of legs, he has rooster paws.
Kali Ma
Promotional video:
This Indian goddess, with black skin and an ugly face, brings doom and plague with her.
In one of her four hands, she holds the head of the demon king Raktevira she has killed. After crushing her opponent, Kali Ma sucked all the blood out of him.
Kali Ma - "black mother", may seem cruel and merciless, but at the same time she is a killer of demons. Her sword symbolizes the destruction of doubts, the head of Raktevira is the murder of selfish thoughts, the blue color of the goddess's skin signifies both death and cosmic infinity.
In one of the images Kali is shown sitting over the corpse of Shiva, having copulation with him and at the same time devouring his intestines. The apparent cruelty has a symbolic meaning. Kali conceives a new life in herself so that Shiva can be reincarnated, and she devours the dead only so that there is a place for the living and the strength to create it.
Kali Ma is decorated with a garland of 50 skulls according to the number of Sanskrit letters. Kali Ma used them to create in the impulse of eternal regenerating creation.
Goddess Skadi
Skadi is the goddess of the northern pantheon, whose father was the giant Tiazzi.
When Thor killed her father, Skadi went to the gate of Asagard and summoned the gods to fight her. Hearing this, Loki went out to meet her with a goat, which was supposed to be used for the sacrifice. But the life of the goat was not in danger. Loki took a rope, with one end of which he tied the animal, and the other end of his own genitals. Then Loki forced the goat to pull the rope, pulled himself in the opposite direction, until he thus ripped out his genitals.
Skadi found her father avenged and left Asgard. And Loki soon magically regained his genitals.
