‣ princes of hell — asmodeus

𝔄𝔰𝔪𝔬𝔡𝔢𝔲𝔰 — the ruling prince of Hell, a demon of lust who destroys love through obsession.

In ancient legends tracing back to the Book of Tobit, there is mention of a demon who once fell in love with a mortal woman — with a fierce, unrestrained feeling, like fire in a locked room: the more it was forced to remain contained, the more violently it sought a way out.

Unable to possess the unfortunate woman and unwilling to share her with the world, he became the shadow of every wedding night she would know — an unseen wind extinguishing other lives like wax candles.

Thus, the name of Asmodeus became a metaphor for that obsessive passion which resembles a mirror in which love slowly recognizes its own distorted reflection — where desire turns into a manic need to possess, and jealousy becomes a slow poison dissolved within the very feeling itself.

kazakh mythology: albasty

Albasty ( kazakh: албасты ) is a mythical female spirit in Kazakh legends. She is believed to be born of the dark places of the steppe and the stillness of night, appearing where a person is most vulnerable — by the cradle, near water, or at the head of a sleeping one.

Most often taking the form of a hideous old woman, Albasty dislikes fire and iron, and cannot endure loud words or prayers. She comes to women in childbirth and to infants, stealing their health and life, or sits upon the chest of a sleeper, pressing down and robbing them of breath. She may steal a child’s soul or bring grave illness — people believed that Albasty hides the stolen soul in a sack or carries it away to the river and the reeds.

Sometimes she appears to a traveler by the water — asking for help, moaning plaintively, pretending to be weak; but the moment one draws near, the old woman’s image vanishes, and her arms become strong as roots, her fingers clinging like hooks.

There is a belief that if a brave soul manages to tear out Albasty’s hair or take back what she has hidden, she will serve them until what was lost is returned. But once released, Albasty never forgives and remembers the scent of her offender until their death.
