"Heads of Evil Demons- Theumis, Asmodeus and The Incubus" are a series of illustrations featured in "The Magus," a seminal work on occultism and ceremonial magic published in 1801 by Francis Barrett. These illustrations are significant for their detailed depiction of demonic entities, which are central to the book's exploration of the occult. "The Magus" serves as a comprehensive guide to the occult sciences, drawing from earlier works such as those by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and others, aiming to instruct readers on the natural magic, alchemy, and spiritual truth. The illustrations of Theumis, Asmodeus, and The Incubus are particularly notable for their artistry and the insight they provide into the period's fascination with demonology and the supernatural.

Theumis, Asmodeus, and The Incubus, as depicted in Barrett's work, are drawn from various mythological and occult traditions. Theumis is often less referenced in popular demonology but is depicted with intriguing features that suggest a complex background in occult lore. Asmodeus, on the other hand, is a well-known figure in Jewish and Christian demonology, often associated with lust and is one of the seven princes of Hell. The Incubus is a demon believed to lie upon sleeping individuals, especially women, to engage in sexual activity, according to medieval European folklore. These illustrations not only serve as a visual guide to the entities discussed in the text but also reflect the era's intricate beliefs and the complex hierarchy within the demonological lore.

Barrett's work, including these illustrations, was influential in the revival of interest in the occult that marked the 19th century, particularly among esoteric societies and figures who would later shape modern Western esotericism. The detailed depictions provided by Barrett in "The Magus" have endured as significant contributions to the iconography of the occult, offering a window into the complex world of early modern demonology and magical practices.
