Demons have been catalogued for centuries, since the time when the Testament of Solomon appeared. Johan Weyer developed the most complex hierarchy, consisting of thousands of demons serving under seventy-two princes of hell. In many sources such as “The Lessor Key of Solomon,” “Ars Goetia,” Collin De Plancy’s “Dictionaire Infernal,” and others, the majority of the demons listed are male. A few demons who were female such as Astaroth were later changed to the male gender.
In fact, there has been a lack of demoness representation in both demonolatry history and within the demonolatry community. Blogger and demonolatrist Kirella on AminoApps explains that Lilith is the only female demon initiator featured in the Draconian and Qliphothic traditions. The powers and respect for known demonesses such as Lilith, Unsere, Delepitore and Rashoon cannot be denied. Yet, the research on them and the number of those who work with them (excluding Lilith) are scarce. The uncommonly heard of Dukante pantheon, according to Kirella, has more representations of female demons than the Ars Goetia, Johan Weyer’s hierarchy and the Dictionaire Infernal. The Guibourg hierarchy is another demon pantheon that many people have never heard of.
In S. Connolly’s “The Complete Book of Demonolatry,” there are several Arch She Demons mentioned below the Seven Princes of Hell in a list. They are Leviathan (The Chaos Dragon), Barbelo, Proserpine (The Destroyer), Astarte (Queen of the spirits of the dead), Eisheth Zenunim (one of Satans wives), Lilith, Agrat, and Naamah (demoness of seduction) (Connolly, p. 12). In Richard Dukante’s Hierarchy (1963), there are nine different families, plus thirty nine hierarchs. Unsere is a demoness of fertility and sorcery, Sonnilion is the demoness of hate and Ashtaroth is the Priestess of Friendship. (Connolly, p 12.). Delepitoré is listed as the demoness of magick. There are other demonesses mentioned such as Verrier (Demoness of Herbal Knowledge), Asafoetida (Demoness of feminine attributes) Rashoon (Priestess of Seduction) and Taroon (Priestess of Desire). (S. Connolly p. 15).

Ishtar – Babylonian goddess of fertility.
Lilith – Adam’s first wife in Hebrew mythology. Left Eden and refused to submit to Adam, only wanting to be equal. She was later cursed to give birth and watch hundreds of her demon children die each day. She was the later wife of Satan/Samael in some sources.
