'''Astaroth''' was a powerful [[demons|demon]] who worked to condemn [[humans|human]] [[soul]]s to [[Hell]] by turning them into [[witch]]es. She turned [[Renee Van Allen]], [[Elizabeth Higgins]], and [[Amanda Burns]] into witches, which resulted in several deaths, including the entire [[Book Club|coven]] in question. The Winchesters' investigation led them to Astaroth and they ended up killing her.

==History==
 
===Early History ===
 
Astaroth was hundreds of years old. In the fourteenth century, she came into contact with a [[humans|human]] whom she taught witchcraft to in exchange for the human's [[soul]], which went to [[Hell]] and became another [[demons|demon]], named [[Ruby]].
 
   
 
==H==
Astaroth herself later ended up in Hell. She managed to escape when a [[Devil's Gate]] was opened in "[[All Hell Breaks Loose - Part 2]]"; when talking about the escape later with Ruby, Astaroth described escaping Hell as "a bitch of a fight" and was impressed that her student had made it.
 
 
*new an [[exorcism]] which would send other demons back to [[Hell]] without affecting her, which she started to use on Ruby.
 
Astaroth was a devout follower of [[Lilith]]. In an attempt to please Lilith, Astaroth and her "friends" sought to hunt down and kill [[Sam Winchester]] in order to eliminate Lilith's "competition" for leadership of Hell.
 
 
===[[Season 3]]===
 
Astaroth secretly [[possession|possessed]] [[Tammi Fenton]] in order to "break the ice" with Tammi's friends [[Amanda Burns]], [[Elizabeth Higgins]], and [[Renee Van Allen]]. She then brought the [[Book of Shadows]] into the women's [[Book Club|book club]], and tricked them into unwittingly selling her their [[soul]]s in exchange for her improving their lives.
 
 
Amanda used witchcraft to kill her lover Paul's wife, and then tried to kill Paul himself, bringing [[Sam Winchester|Sam]] and [[Dean Winchester]] to investigate. Astaroth planted a hex-bag that killed Amanda in a way that appeared to be a suicide, and later cast a spell to kill Dean, although [[Ruby]] intervened to break the spell and save Dean.
 
 
When Sam deduced that Tammi was possessed, Astaroth briefly kept up her charade before dropping it and taunting him by claiming that his brother was already dead. Sam tried to shoot her with [[the Colt]], but she [[telekinesis|telekinetically]] slowed and then stopped [[Colt bullets|the bullet]] completely, making it fall to the floor without hitting her. She incapacitated him, killed an angry Renee out of annoyance, and taunted a horrified Elizabeth about having sold her soul without realizing it.
 
 
Astaroth started trying to kill Sam by crushing him to death. When Dean and Ruby arrived, Astaroth incapacitated Dean as well, but allowed Ruby to explain why she was there; Ruby claimed to have lured the Winchesters to Astaroth as a gift and that she wanted to serve Astaroth again. Astaroth appeared to consider Ruby's words for a moment, but then Ruby tried to kill her, leading Astaroth to brutally beat Ruby. She began to [[exorcism|exorcise]] the younger demon, only to be caught off-guard by Elizabeth's spell, causing her to release Sam and Dean and kill Elizabeth. Her brief distraction allowed Dean to retrieve the [[Demon-Killing Knife|demon-killing knife]], grab her from behind and stab her several times, killing her.<ref>Malleus Maleficarum</ref>
 
 
==Powers and Abilities==
 
{{Quote|It knows you're in town, and it's gonna come after you, and it's way more than you can handle.|[[Ruby]]|[[Malleus Maleficarum]]}}
 
Astaroth was an extremely old and powerful black-eyed [[demons|demon]]. [[Ruby]] believed her to be beyond the Winchesters' ability to defeat even with [[the Colt]]. She overpowered [[Sam Winchester|Sam]], [[Dean Winchester|Dean]], and [[Ruby]] simultaneously with ease when they attacked her; however, when she was distracted by a spell [[Elizabeth Higgins]] performed, Dean managed to kill Astaroth when catching her by surprise.
 
*'''[[Biokinesis]]''' - Astaroth was able to kill [[Elizabeth Higgins]] by stopping her heart with a hand gesture.
 
*'''[[Spell Casting]]''' - Astaroth had extraordinary knowledge of [[Magic|witchcraft]], which she taught to her pupils in exchange for their [[soul]]s. She knew an [[exorcism]] which would send other demons back to [[Hell]] without affecting her, which she started to use on Ruby.
 
 
*'''Demonic [[Possession]]''' - As a demon, Astaroth required [[Tammi Fenton|a]] [[vessel]] to walk the Earth.
 
*'''Demonic [[Possession]]''' - As a demon, Astaroth required [[Tammi Fenton|a]] [[vessel]] to walk the Earth.
*'''[[Super Strength]]''' - Astaroth was much stronger than [[humans]] as well as fellow black-eyed demons, as shown when she easily overpowered Ruby during their fight.

*'''[[Invulnerability]]''' - Astaroth could not be killed or harmed by conventional means. When Elizabeth used a spell that inserted pins in Astaroth's throat/stomach, it did not even seriously wound Astaroth. However, it did distract and anger her.
 
*'''[[Immortality]]''' - As a demon, Astaroth could potentially live forever. Although her exact age was not stated, she was older than Ruby, who was over seven hundred years old.
 
*'''[[Reality Warping]]''' '''(By Deals)'''- Astaroth granted the wishes of the coven once they sold her their souls; this included getting Elizabeth's husband a promotion as well as having her win a trip to Hawaii, and improving Renee's pottery business.
 
*'''Advanced [[Telekinesis]]''' - Astaroth broke [[Renee Van Allen|Renee's]] neck with a wave of her hand. She also pinned Sam and Dean to walls and held them incapacitated without effort while she concentrated on fighting Ruby, even beginning to psychically crush Sam to death at one point; however, she lost control of them when attacked by a spell that made her cough up pins. She also stopped [[Colt bullets|a bullet]] from [[the Colt]] in mid-air, a feat no other supernatural being has been shown capable of.
 
 
==Weaknesses==
 
As a powerful demon, Astaroth had few weaknesses.
 
*'''[[The Colt]]''' - As the Colt could kill [[demons]], it could kill her. However, Astaroth managed to avoid being shot with it.
 
*'''[[Demon-Killing Knife]]''' - Despite being a very powerful demon, the knife was able to kill her.
 
 
==Death==
 
===Killed By===
 
*[[Dean Winchester]]
 
As Astaroth was distracted by a [[hex]] cast upon her by [[Elizabeth Higgins]], her [[telekinesis|telekinetic]] hold over the Winchesters was broken. As an enraged Astaroth killed Elizabeth, Dean retrieved [[Ruby]]'s [[Demon-Killing Knife|demon-killing knife]], grabbed Astraoth from behind and stabbed her in the side several times, killing Astaroth.
 
 
==Appearances==
 
*[[Season 3]]
 
**''[[Malleus Maleficarum]]''
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*Although she was not named in the episode, Astaroth's name was revealed in the Supernatural Companion for [[Season 3]].
 
*Astaroth was the second [[demons|demon]] of lore to appear in the show; the first was [[Azazel]].
 
*In lore, Astaroth is the demon of laziness, vanity and rationalization. It is also said that he grants power to [[witch|magicians]] who summon and kneel before him.
 
*Astaroth was the first demon Dean killed with the [[Demon-Killing Knife|demon-killing knife]].
