Moloch

Moloch is a powerful demon who was once a god worshipped by the Ammonites. de Plancy, J. C., (1863). Dictionnaire Infernal. 6ed. pg.470
The seven cabinets within the statue of Moloch worshipped by the Ammonites caused him to get conflated with Mithra and his seven gates with seven chambers. 
== History ==
Inside the statue of Moloch worshipped by the Ammonites were said to be seven cabinets: one contained flour, another doves, a third sheep, a fourth a ram, the fifth a calf, the sixth and ox, and the final cabinet was for a child. When a sacrifice was to be performed, a fire was lit in the statue, and music was played around it to avoid hearing the screams of the sacrifices trapped in the cabinets. 
== Appearance ==
As a god, he was worshipped as a bronze statue on a bronze throne. He had the head of a calf, and wore a crown. His arms were extended to receive the children who were to be sacrificed to him. 
As a demon, he is covered in the cries of mothers and the blood of children.
