It’s been a while since I’ve touched base with the lords of the Ars Goetia. Today we meet Forneus, a Great Marquis of Hell. With 29 legions under his rule he is the teacher of rhetoric, languages and can sway any enemy to friend.

Re-posting my favourite pretty bird dress because it deserves a solo moment.

You can't tell me this skinny little bird wouldn't love a slinky dress.

What do you think of Goetia?

Goetia's philosophies are exceedingly simple. He's a being that lacks what to us is a natural and universal experience, so he finds it illogical that humans need to die and sees no value in existing like this. Mortal people have no value so their history is a cheap price to pay to remake the planet to his liking.

And that simplicity only works to his benefit because the appeal of Goetia is his earnestness. He's a hivemind of 72 good boys who are only trying to help and struggles to understand why people can't agree with his vision. Once Goetia drops his cartoonishly bias-poisoned impersonation of the "heartless and incompetent" King Solomon, he's nothing but sincere and highly emotional despite his unwavering condescension.

And then Ars Nova happens, turning him moe through helplessness mortal, which allows him to feel how much more attached he is to his projects now that he no longer has infinite tries, finally get what is the fuzz about preserving history, and mostly get over his arrogance (though he still gets to be hilariously wrong in LB6 and 7 over his lack of faith in Chaldea).

There will be more to say about him when we get to learn what makes him so violently opinionated about the Animuspheres, but so far the charming straightforwardness of his messiah complex is what makes him one of my favorite Beasts.

What really makes everything click with Goetia is his interactions with Mash. Just the whole of him reaching for the person with the most limited lifespan because he desperately wanted at least one human to understand what he was doing and tell him he was right. Really endearing stuff.

GOETIA 34: FURFUR

[wanderingsorcerer]

The 72 Demons Of The Ars Goetia

This will be multi parts and in each one we will be going over each branch of them "whoop whoop" let's get cracking

Starting off the 72 demons of the ars goetia are the amalgamation of the Occult Writings from the 15th century. Compiled into one text in the 17th that is where we get what is now known as the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis or simply The Lesser Key Of Solomon. Due to many translations spelling changes depending on region and personal preference for the author.

Let's start the Journey with the KINGs Of Hell

Baal (Bael): is the first king of hell with estates in the east and commander of 66 legions. This King is distinguished by his three heads, One of Toad , One Of Man, and One Of Cat. He teaches the art of invisibility and the power to Garner The Favor of Others. He also rules over Love and Science.

His Symbol

As with most Spirits in the Goetia they prefer people who are clever and intelligent. Someone who is willing to put in the work instead of relying entirely on the power of the deity

Paimon(Paymon): one of the kings of hell with estates in the NorthWest he is the ruler of 200 legions of demons. Paimon is depicted as a man with an effeminate face, wearing a precious Crown, and riding a Dromedary. He is said to roar upon arrival and speak in a loud voice until asked a question from the caster. Paimon teaches all arts, philosophies, and sciences, and secret things; he can reveal all mysteries of the Earth, wind, and water, what the mind is, and where it is, and everything the conjurer wants to know.

His Symbol

To summon him it is common practice to have a Sacrifice prepared, usually one of personal significance to the caster.

Beleth: one of the Truly Mighty and terrible kings of hell he is the ruler of 85 legions of demons. Beleth is depicted riding a war house and is said to have Loud music blaring as he arrives. He is said to look terrifying upon arrival and will attempt to frighten the caster to see if they are brave.

His symbol

When summoning him it would be best to hold a silver ring on your left hand middle finger to your face, as to show him his respect due to his rank in the infernal realm.

Purson: One of the Great Kings of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons. Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a Lion, carrying a Viper in his hand, and riding a bear. He is commonly associated with the AntiChrist. His powers include knowing all hidden things, discovering treasures and divination (telling all things from past, present and future). He can take on a human or astral form.

His Symbol

He represents the sun and the moon and symbolism from both is best when beginning his summoning. I.E Silver and Gold Jewelry and coloring

Asmodeus(Asmoday): One of my personal favorites, he's the one I have the strongest relationship with out of all of the demons in the Ars Goetia. Labeled as The Thirty-second Spirit He is a Great King, Strong, and Powerful. He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof the first is like a Bull, the second like a Man, and the third like a Ram; he hath also the tail of a Serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames of Fire. His Feet are webbed like those of a Goose. He sitteth upon an Infernal Dragon, and beareth in his hand a Lance with a Banner. He is first and choicest under the Power of AMAYMON, he goeth before all other. He teaches the Arts of Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, and all handicrafts.

When summoning him be respectful he has a soft spot for academics and is a true wonder of a friend to have on your spiritual journey, just don't wear hats around him.

Vine: is an Earl and also a King of Hell, commanding 36 legions of demons. This demon is portrayed as a Lion holding a snake in his hand and riding a black horse. He can tell present, past, and future, discover witches and hidden things, create storms and make the water rough by means of them, and also bring down walls and build towers.

His Symbol

Acts as an elemental guide unto those who may seek to attack you. Vine is also a divinatory spirit who will also brings initiatory knowledge to Wizards, Witches and hidden aspects. Summon him if you wish to learn more about the Occult.

Balam:is a great and powerful king of Hell who commands over 40 legions of demons. Balam is depicted as being three-headed. One head is the head of a bull, the second of a man, and the third of a ram. He has flaming eyes and the tail of a serpent. He carries a hawk on his fist and rides a strong bear. At other times, he is represented as a naked man riding a bear. He gives perfect answers on things past, present, and to come, and can also make men invisible and witty.

His Symbol

From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly

“Invoke Balam to get over social awkwardness or to find the inner reasons for shyness or discomfort. Leave a piece of gold in offering to Balam (And his sigil) on the altar to keep magickal works secret until they manifest the desired results.”

Zagan: A Great King and President of Hell, commanding over 33 legions of demons. Zagan is depicted as a griffin-winged bull that turns into a man after a while. He makes men witty; he can also turn wine into water, water into wine, and blood into wine as well as blood into oil, oil into blood, and a fool into a wise man. Other of his powers is that of turning metals into coins that are made with that metal (i.e., gold into a gold coin, copper into a copper coin, etc.).

His Symbol

Turns things into their opposites. Invoke to help curb addictions and bad habits or make delusional people (or dabblers) to see the truth. Zagam rites are a Daemonolatry Keeper ritual

Belial:He is a King of Hell with 80 legions of demons and 50 legions of spirits under his command. He was created as the first, after Lucifer. He has the power to distribute senatorships and gives excellent familiars. He takes the form of Two Beautiful Angels sitting in a Chariot of Fire.

His Symbol

He must be presented with offerings, sacrifices, and gifts, or else he will not give true answers to demands.

Always when working with these entities show them great respect and take into considerations that the majority of these are gods from other cultures that have had there meanings shifted over the years to be perceived as demonic. Treat them with kindness and respect and for the most part they will treat you the same. Do your research and learn. Learn more everyday and don't forget to have fun. The occult is a wonderful and beautiful thing and I hope to take you on more journeys with me.

We will continue this next time when we go over the Dukes of Hell.

Thank you for being here with me and having tea with me on the other side of the Great divide :)

I have been super busy making a little browser game with our worldbuilding. It's an experimental detective adventure... I'm sorta locking in where I'm going with it lately and felt like sharing the little WIPs! It's mostly placeholder art and sketches... And there won't be full animations, but it's been fun to see the talk sprites do things, haha.

It's fully done in PHP/mySQL for the base framework, javascript and jquery. There's so much to do, to draw, to write. Prior to that I only knew how to do stuff on the front end, but I've been slooowly learning to code up stuff and it's been a really fun experience.

That said, it's extremely early in development since I'm still writing more functions and modules, and I barely wrote the intro, but the raw framework is already in place.

(edited my post a little because I long moved past the cookie string system I initially used %))

"People will come and go, but music will always be with you." That's something my grandfather told me. Times like these, I like to talk to my friend Amdusias. If you're unfamiliar, according to the Ars Goetia, he's a black unicorn who creates all the music in hell (you might say his work is a little underground.) In some circles his profession might get him a bad rap, but he's always been a great guy when we cross paths. If you truly open your heart to eccentric and misunderstood friends, they can be some of the most faithful and rewarding relationships.
