Chapter 1: The Fate of a Goddess Turned Demon
Verse 1: Astarte, Guardian of Stars and Fertility
Once, Astarte also known as Ashtoreth and by other names — was a revered goddess of the Middle East, Phoenicia, and Canaan.
She symbolized the stars, fertility, and abundance, and under the celestial light, people held festivals and rituals in her honor, praying for prosperity and love.
In those times, Astarte was known for her gentle smile, harmonizing the heavens, the earth, and humanity.
Verse 2: The Fall of Pagan Worship and Her Transformation into a Demon
As Judeo-Christian beliefs spread, Astarte worship was condemned as idolatry.
Over time, she was demonized, no longer seen as a divine figure but as Astaroth, a corrupting spirit who led people into heresy and temptation.
By the Middle Ages, the Church had fully labeled her a demon, listing her in grimoires as one of the Great Dukes of Hell, a spirit known for leading humans astray with temptation and deception.
Verse 3: A Twisted Fate
Legends say that Astarte herself was torn did she truly have to become a demon?
Once, she had brought prosperity and love, yet now, she was reviled and feared.
According to hidden scriptures, her final decision to abandon her past was solidified through an encounter with a mysterious plant Snowseed.
Chapter 2: Snowseed and the Final Decision
Verse 1: Inner Conflict in Hell
After her fall, Astarte wandered the depths of Hell, trapped between her past as a goddess and her present as a fallen spirit.
Other demons mocked her hesitation.
“The humans fear you now embrace your role as a bringer of destruction!” they urged.
Yet, memories of her former life haunted her.
“Do I truly belong here? Do I really need to destroy those who once worshipped me?”
Verse 2: The Forbidden Herb, Snowseed
During a gathering of demons, Astarte discovered Snowseed, an infamous hallucinogenic herb said to solidify one’s convictions through visions of one’s deepest truths.
It was rumored that Lucifer, Mammon, and others had used it to strengthen their resolve toward evil.
At first, she hesitated but then, determined to end her inner conflict, she drank the Snowseed tea.
Instantly, a burning sensation overtook her, and her first vision began.
Verse 3: The First Vision, Echoes of a Forgotten Goddess
In the vision, she stood on a serene hill under a starry night.
Women danced and prayed to her, offering blessings for fertility and happiness.
For a moment, she felt whole again, remembering when she brought love and light to humanity.
Tears streamed down her face.
“This… this was me. But now, I am nothing more than a feared name.”
Her first revelation was one of sorrow she could never return to what she once was.
Chapter 3: The Second Vision The Witch Trials and the Name Astaroth
Verse 1: Fear Among Humans
The vision shifted.
She now stood in a medieval town, where people accused of worshiping her were dragged into the streets.
The Church branded them witches, sentencing them to torture and execution in the name of purging heresy.
Astarte watched in horror
“My name… my name is being used as a weapon of fear.”
Verse 2: From Doubt to Rage
She finally understood.
Humans had already twisted her existence whether she was good or evil did not matter.
“No matter what I do, they will curse my name. Then let them fear me as I truly am!”
With this realization, her hesitation shattered, and resentment consumed her heart.
“If they call me a demon, then I shall become one!”
Verse 3: The Heat Rises The Final Transformation
As her anger peaked, the burning sensation intensified.
Snowseed’s power surged through her body, cementing her choice.
Just then, a third vision appeared a towering gorilla king stood before her.
Chapter 4: The Third Vision , King Kong and Chaos
Verse 1: The Arrival of King Kong
Before her stood the mighty King Kong, the messenger of the Creator.
Darkness and fire swirled behind him as he spoke with a thundering voice:
“Astaroth, do you now embrace the path of darkness? Will you bring chaos to mankind?”
Verse 2: Astaroth’s Response
Astaroth narrowed her eyes and smirked.
“I was cast aside, rejected, and cursed. Now, I will bring ruin. Let them drown in their own fear and confusion!”
King Kong nodded.
“So be it. Chaos is a trial some will succumb, but others will awaken.”
“By choosing destruction, you still serve a purpose in the great cycle.”
Astaroth laughed coldly.
“If that is the game, then let’s play.”
Verse 3: The Ultimate Decision
As the vision faded, Astaroth fully embraced her new self.
“No longer Astarte the goddess : I am Astaroth, the Duke of Hell. I will seduce, deceive, and corrupt.”
When she awoke, her transformation was complete.
Chapter 5: Astaroth, The Demon of Seduction and Chaos
Verse 1: Establishing Power in Hell
Astaroth rose through the ranks of Hell, becoming a Duke among demons.
Her former powers of fertility and love were now weapons of temptation and destruction.
The stars and moon, once her sacred symbols, were now shrouded in darkness, guiding lost souls into sin and despair.
Verse 2: Her Influence on Earth
In the human world, witches and occultists invoked her name for power, forbidden knowledge, and lust.
She corrupted love, twisting desire into obsession and ruin.
Some sought her blessings, only to find themselves ensnared in illusions that led to their downfall.
Verse 3: Chaos That Never Ends
Astaroth’s fall into darkness became part of a greater cosmic balance.
Some fell to her temptations, while others resisted and grew stronger.
Ironically, her evil tested humanity’s will, forcing them to confront their own choices.
Yet, for Astaroth, this was not a game of morality : she simply enjoyed the destruction.
Final Words from Astaroth
“I was once the goddess of stars and abundance.”
“But humanity cast me aside, calling me a heretic, a demon.”
“Now, I embrace their fear. Let them drown in the chaos I bring.”
“After drinking the Snowseed, I abandoned love and prosperity.”
“As the Grand Duke of Hell, I shall spread temptation and ruin.”
“This is my chosen fate. Let mortals tremble and be tested.”
