Astaroth-Astarte...Isis? Options

In the book "Modern Magick" I read of Astaroth being Astarte, or Isis..True? I haven't worked with any of the goetics, and don't plan to do so soon, but this was bugging me, lol...And if so, then can Bael/Baal be called as..Osiris? Since Re, and Horus are in the goetia, I wouldn't be suprised if Astaroth/Astarte, and Bael/baal can be called as Isis, and Osiris...Hell, it'll help my little egyptian pantheon shrine in the future, king, parents, and son. Any info? Thank you in advance for any information.

Bael would be Ba'al, NOT Osirus. From my experienes (screw this book learning crap!) I would say that the Daemons are one aspect of the Deity. FOr example you have the Goddess Astarte, she has many many aspets, and one of them is Astaroth. An example of this can be seen with the goddess Athena, there is the Athena of war, Athena of the marketplace etc. etc. Each of these aspects of Athena have different names. Athena _____. So I would say that the Daemons are like that.

When the new culture takes over the old culture, the old culture's Deities are now called Demons. I would also say that Flauros and Set don't get along! I found this out the hard way one day during an evocation of Flauros with a Set alter in the background!

I would say, call them up and ask them. They will tell you, as much as your understanding will allow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I would say Horus the elder, but I don't know enough about Horus really so I could be wrong on that.
