Amducius is a harbinger of understanding in matters of divinity and how one relates to his fellow man. He makes one incorrigible and unrepentant in their behavior. He teaches one to become shameless in selfishness and depravity. He imparts understanding in many genres of spirituality: sacrifice, necromancy, cannibalism, torture magick, death curses, and the creation of thoughtforms which indiscriminately seek out and destroy targets. He can grant a familiar for the fulfillment of any secret mission which the witch specifies.

Amducious is the twin of Asmodeus the same way that Lucifer is the twin of Lucifuge Rofocale. He rules ice magick, shadowmancy, and mirrormancy. He rules Qliphothic alchemy and he’s attributed to Thaumiel (Neptune & Pluto/Moloch & Satan)—he corresponds to the Neptunian aspect of Thaumiel (like Moloch) rather than the Plutonian one (note: attributions to the planetary spheres of the Qliphoth usually do not correlate with planetary attributions outside of the Qliphoth. Amducious and Glasyalabolas are a rare exceptions).

 

Amducious can assist one in containing her emotions or being liberated of fear. He rules all the negative aspects of life (including war), and he can bring about disasters. He can consume a victim with negative emotions and rid a person of them.

The auspices of Amducious are useful in money spells as well as in divination—he resonates with the pendulum in particular. He is especially apt for tarot decks and crystal balls as well. He rules warding, shielding, protection, banishing, and exorcism.

Amducius  causes trees to bend to the witch’s will (presumed by some to denote the manipulation of tree-dwelling spirits and/or help with agriculture). He causes trees to fall over at the whim of the operator and creates musical concerts. Amdusias teaches about tree spirits and other local spirits, and he is known to guide one through the dreamscape to the Great Forest.

Amducious dislikes having cigarettes offered to him.

The auspices of Amducious are useful in execration magick, and he can also augment the witch’s intrinsic capacity/aptitude for destructive spells. He can also strengthen the witch’s natural defenses against destruction spells—he can increase the witch’s natural defenses against psychic attack too, but not as powerfully as he can ‘armor’ the witch against destruction spells. He rules healing magick and he can increase the witch’s intrinsic aptitude for this as well, and he rules over luck/fortune too.

Above: Sigil of Amducious from the OFS Demonolatry Website

Amdusias is a destroyer and a demon of music. He is related by different authorities to the elements of earth and air, and he is associated with thunder as well. He gives aid in aggressive endeavors, the manipulation of people, and curse magick. He aids in aggressively fought battles and imparts military precision.
