Demonolatry & Chaos

[vcreatures]

The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, containing descriptions of seventy-two demons. These are an eclectic bunch, made up of demons/pre abrahamic faith deities in demon form. Ever since I discovered it, years and years ago, I’ve been fascinated by it. One High Prince in particular I’ve been fond of is Stolas. How can you not love a crowned owl demon. He is the commander of 26 legions and appears as a crowned owl or beautiful man. He is a teacher of astronomy and the magic associated with plants and precious stones. 

I wanted to keep it relatively true to the description in the Ars Goetia but make it more than just an owl with a crown.

Continuing The Ars Goetia. The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, containing descriptions of seventy-two demons. These are an eclectic bunch made up of demons/pre abrahamic faith deities in demon form. Buer is a Great President of Hell and the commander of 50 legions. Buer appears either as a centaur or more commonly a lion headed beast with multiple goat legs to walk in all directions. He is a teacher of natural and moral philosophy, logic and all virtues of plants and herbs. I kept it pretty close to the Ars Goetia depiction because a flaming lion head with legs is pretty bizarre to begin with.

The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, containing descriptions of seventy-two demons. These are an eclectic bunch made up of demons/pre abrahamic faith deities in demon form. Shax is a Duke/High Marquis of Hell and the commander of 30 legions. Shax appears as a stork with a harsh voice. Quite deceitful even dangerous to an unskilled sorcerer, if not confined properly he will lie and not obey commands. However if properly invoked he will steal whatever is requested by his commander, be it money, horses, sight, hearing even understanding. He also will speak truth on supernatural matters and reveal hidden treasures.

The next demon of the The Ars Goetia. Naberius, also known as Cerberus, Nabbers or Nebiros. He is the most valiant of the Marquis of Hell and has 19 legions under his command. He bestows cunning in all arts and sciences, especially in rhetoric. He also restores lost honors. Nabbers typically appears as a three headed dog, raven or less so as a black crane. I tried to incorporate a little bit of each of the descriptions and came up with this bird Cerberus.

In continuation, The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, containing descriptions of seventy-two demons. These are an eclectic bunch made up of demons/pre abrahamic faith deities in demon form.

Amdusias is commonly mistaken for Orobas do to his horse like nature, yet Amdusias is not merely a horse but a unicorn. Duke and commander of 29 legions of spirits and demons Amdusias is largely associated with storms, his voice being heard amongst thunder. He is musically adept, and is commonly accompanied by trumpets and horns. He is the chief of the cacophonous melodies played in hell. 

In the hierarchy of hell Baal is placed at the head being the 1st and primary king of hell. He also presides over the East, with 66 legions under his command. He gives the gift of invincibility to those who invoke him.

He typically appears as a 3 headed beast with the head go a man, cat and toad.

Paimon has become quite popular as of late due to the incredible film Hereditary. A mighty ruler of hell he rules over 200 legions of spirits, some of which being different orders of the angelic realms. Typically astride his dromedary, loud trumpets precede him. Despite having the “appearance" of a woman Paimon is referred to using masculine pronouns. Imbued with the knowledge of all arts and secrets of the earth Paimon speaks truthfully on all questions posed to him. He can bestow titles and lordships, grant good familiars, devine the future, invoke spirits, reanimate the dead, flight and make all kinds of things and people appear on behalf of the magician. 

Malphas is a Great Prince of Hell with 40 legions under his command. He is 2nd in command to Satan.He is the mighty architect of hell and is said to build the towers houses and strongholds. He can destroy the buildings of the conjurer’s enemy. He can also destroy enemies’ desires and thoughts or reveal them to the conjurer. He can also bring forth priceless artifacts from around the world. Despite these gift Malphas is incredibly deceitful and not to be trusted.

Bune is one of the Great Dukes of Hell. He has the unique ability to change the position of the dead, from human to demon. He bestows the gift of eloquence,  wisdom and answers all questions truthfully. He also has the ability to bestow the sorcerer with good fortune. He is cited in many forms but typically appears as a three headed beast. One man, 2 serpents ( or griffin and Dog)

Andras is a one of the Great Marquis of Hell. Having a command of thirty legions he sows discord among people. Andras was considered to be a highly dangerous demon, who could kill the conjuring magician and his assistants if precautions were not taken. Andras is depicted as an owl headed angel riding a black wolf.

Goetia Vepar: Vepar is a Great Duke of Hell. Ruling over 29 legions, he governs and controls all waters. If requested he can cause great storms and make ships appear. While gifted with the ability to heal wounds, he can also cause people to die in 3 days by purified sores.Vepar is depicted as a mermaid.

I went with a slightly more surrealist approach with this one. Not sure if I’m in love with it or not…what do you think?

Morax is a Great Earl and President of Hell. A commander of 30 legions of demons, his main areas of expertise are Astronomy, liberal sciences and bestowing good familiars with knowledge of herbs and precious stones.

Decided to relax and doodle out one of my favorite Goetic demons. 

I haven’t posted in awhile, but no time like the present to throw some more stuff up! ;)

Reblog if you work with Goetic demons

I’d like to write more posts about how Goetic demons and Goetic vs non-goetic hell, so if you could reblog this and state what goetic demon you work with (preferably on the post, *not* in the tags) that would be super helpful!

[mylittlebaphomet-blog]

I work with a few, but mostly: Paimon, Seere, Amon, Buer, andromalius and (not from ars goetia) Claunech.
