Well, Asteroth is not a “he” but a female “goddess” common in most pagan mythologies under a variety of names. Don’t know about demonology, but Asteroth is the equivalent of Astarte, Ishtar, Semiramis, Isis, and Eostre also known in pagan religions as the “Queen of Heaven”, and is celebrated in the pagan fertility festivals which probably were the basis of much of the traditions of “Easter” in the western world.

“Queen of Heaven”

hmmm

We have a Catholic Church in Broward County called our lady queen of heaven, complete with a statue of Mary on the half-shell out front.

Think they are really pagans in there?
