Has anyone ever heard about a Spirit of Asfetus/Asphetus?

Last night I felt led to pray and out of nowhere my brain heard the words spirit of Asfetus/asphetus. I then felt and a nudge to rebuke it from my marriage and I have asked the Lord for some clarification and I thought I would post here to see if anybody had ever heard about it before... when I looked it up, both spellings translated to Latin, one means ugly (asphetus) and the other means ascetic (Asfetus) which is basically the practice of self-denial for spiritual reasons Eg fasting, meditating on scripture, denying oneself of pleasures.

I didn't find anything else about it and every time I googled it it was self-correct to asbestos lol.

I'm trusting that if the Lord wants to reveal anything, He will but also I figured that we have community for a reason so worth a shot to see if anyone has any insight! Blessings.
