Official Asmodae Sigil:

Many a year ago, my twisted, adolescent mind thought it was very strange how there were no actual words to described both Incubae and Succubae, as while they are different genders, and usually possess different abilities, they are still the same species, more or less.

So for years I wracked my brain, determined to find a term which would unify and combine the two into one. I gave some consideration to "sin-eater" for a while, but didn't like the idea of utilizing the term "sin", as I do not personally believe in such nonsense, so it's impossible for me to take anything connected to the concept seriously. I also discovered, during my extensive research on the subject, that there was an actual human practice of sin-eating where a chosen person, the "sin-eater", would eat food from the body of a recently deceased person, therefore taking their sins into them. This was apparently a big thing in Scotland and Wales a while back, although the book I read on the subject was centered around the Appalachian mountains. While this might sound like a worthy cause for a person to undertake, from my understanding, they were pretty much treated like a pariah by the rest of their village, which is pretty damn atrocious when you stop and think about it.

I finally decided to settle on a variant of Asmodeus, as he is one of the Seven Princes of Hell, and each Prince rules over a deadly sin. Asmodeus just so happens to be the Demon Prince of Lust.

 Anything connected to Billy Drago is automatically awesome!

(He played Asmodeus in the 2005 low-budget horror film, Demon Hunter.

Which is only worth watching because he is in it.)

This guy also played Asmodeus in the highly underrated 2007 Australian film, Gabriel. 

But he doesn't come off as being evil, just narassistic and annoying. 

Since I pluralize Succubus and Incubus with an "ae" instead of the usual "i", I figured that I'd go with Asmodae, which was perfect until Aion's released 4 years back and I discovered that Asmodae was the name of one of their main cities within the game. But......since that has nothing to do with me, sex-feeders, or my writings, and I've yet to find any actual copyright claims on the term, I figure that I'll stick with it. I mean, I did think of it first.

So Asmodae tends to be what I use whenever speaking about Succubae and/or Incubae in the Occult communities, which almost always results in some hilariously weird looks, even after I try to explain the reasoning behind my useage of it. (I get the same reaction when I tell people I'm a Warlock.)
 
At any rate, I recently decided that it was time to create a sigil for the Asmodae, as all entities should have their own species/clan/racial symbols.

The sigil at the top of this post is what I came up with. It's nothing fancy, but it incorporates everything I wished to put into it. Besides, I'm a writer, not an artist, and there's only so much I can do with Microsoft Paint.

The actual sigil for Asmodeus, which is shown to the right of the page here, isn't that much fancier.

****************************************

Funny little tidbit: In my writings, the term Asmodae is limited to those who are not bound to the Dreaming. The Incubae and Succubae who live within the Dreaming are known as something else.....which I'm not giving away just yet.

Yeah, I'm a total tease like that, but hey! It's part of my books, I'd like to keep some of my terminology a mystery.
