Category:Demons from the Ars Goetia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This category is for Demons originating from the Ars Goetia. The Ars Goetia is a section of the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis, better known as the Lesser Key of Solomon, an occultic work written in England during the 17th century which was heavily based on older material. The Ars Goetia in particular is a catalogue of 72 spirits allegedly summoned by King Solomon of Israel; it uses Reginald Scot's English translation of Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum as its main source, though the Ars Goetia features a handful of spirits not present in Weyer's work, and one spirit from the Pseudomonarchia is absent in both Scot's translation and in the Ars Goetia.
