Category:Ars Goetia

The Ars Goetia is the first section of the Lesser Key of Solomon, containing descriptions of the seventy-two demons that Solomon is said to have evoked and confined in a bronze vessel sealed by magic symbols, and that he obliged to work for him. The Ars Goetia assigns a rank and a title of nobility to each member of the infernal hierarchy, and gives the demons "signs they have to pay allegiance to", or seals. The term is usually used in the context of lists of demons, particularly the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia found in the 17th-century Lesser Key of Solomon.
