AdramelechAccording to Johan Weyer, Adramelech is Chancellor of the infernal regions, Keeper of the Wardrobe of the Demon King, and President of the High Council of the Devils. He was worshiped at Sepharvaim, an Assyrian town, where children were burned on his altar. Rabbis of the period said that he showed himself in the form of a mule or sometimes of a peacock.
