The 72 Demons of the Ars Goetia: Names, Ranks, Seals and Study Path

The Ars Goetia is the first book of the Lemegeton, or Lesser Key of Solomon, a seventeenth-century grimoire cataloguing 72 spirits traditionally called demons. Each entry gives the spirit's name, rank, legions, seal and office — the specific field of knowledge or capability it teaches. This pillar indexes all 72 Goetic demons with a study article, a course and a grimoire for each, treating them as intelligences to be worked with respectfully rather than forces to be commanded or feared.

This pillar collects every one of the 72 Goetic spirits in their traditional order, with the articles, courses and grimoires in our library that treat each one. Our approach is cooperative rather than adversarial: these intelligences are studied as partners in a disciplined practice, never as enemies to be coerced.

What the Ars Goetia actually is

The Ars Goetia is the opening book of the Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis — the Lesser Key of Solomon — a compilation assembled in the seventeenth century from older material, most visibly Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of 1577 and the wider Solomonic manuscript tradition. It is not a narrative or a scripture. It is a catalogue: seventy-two numbered entries, each naming a spirit, its rank, the number of legions under it, the seal by which it is called, and the office it holds. The word goetia derives from the Greek goeteia, an older term for ritual invocation and the sung or spoken calling of spirits. Read plainly, the Ars Goetia is a reference index of capabilities: what each intelligence knows, what it teaches, and how it is approached. Everything else — the theatre, the fear, the pop-culture image of the summoned demon — is later accretion around a technical document.

How the 72 Goetic demons are ranked

The Goetia organises its spirits by court rank rather than by power in any moral sense. Nine kings head the list, followed by princes and prelates, dukes, marquises, earls or counts, presidents and knights. Each rank carries a working temperament rather than a status prize: kings tend to govern broad domains and answer in sweeping terms, dukes address the practical mechanics of a matter, presidents and earls teach — languages, sciences, hidden causes, the movement of thought. Legion counts, from a single legion to eighty-six, indicate the breadth of a spirit's influence in the older cosmology, not a threat level. Reading a Goetic entry properly means reading three things together: rank, office and seal. The office tells you what the spirit governs, the rank tells you the register in which it communicates, and the seal is the agreed point of contact. A student who learns to read the pattern can navigate the whole list without memorising seventy-two biographies.

Offices: what each spirit teaches

Almost every Goetic entry is a statement of competence. Some spirits govern knowledge — the liberal sciences, astronomy, herbal and mineral virtues, the properties of stones and plants. Some govern language and comprehension, granting fluency, rhetoric, the ability to be understood. Some govern relations: reconciliation, favour with those in authority, the settling of disputes. Others govern discovery — hidden things, lost objects, the true causes of events — and others still govern craft, invention, strategy and self-command. Grouping the seventy-two by office rather than by number is the single most useful thing a student can do, because it converts an intimidating list into a working map. When you have a concrete question — mastery of a subject, clarity in negotiation, the discipline to finish a long project — the map points to a small handful of relevant intelligences instead of a wall of unfamiliar names.

Seals, circles and the mechanics of contact

Each Goetic spirit has a sigil, a line-figure that functions as an address rather than a decoration. Traditional practice engraves or draws it, holds it in focused attention, and uses it as the fixed point around which the working is built. The classical apparatus — the circle, the triangle of art, the brass vessel, the hexagram and pentagram of Solomon, timing by planetary hour — exists to give the operation structure, boundaries and a clear beginning and end. Modern practitioners vary widely in how literally they reproduce that apparatus, but the functional elements are stable: a defined space, a defined duration, a clear statement of intent, a means of recognising a response, and a formal close. The Academy teaches these mechanics as discipline rather than superstition. Structure is what keeps a working repeatable, reviewable and psychologically safe, and it is what distinguishes study from thrill-seeking.

Cooperation, not coercion

The classical text is written in the voice of constraint: the operator binds, compels and licenses to depart. That language belongs to a specific religious and legal imagination of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, in which spirits were subjects of a divine hierarchy and the magician acted under borrowed authority. Contemporary practice inside this Academy takes a different position, and states it plainly. The seventy-two are approached as intelligences with their own character, addressed with courtesy, engaged through clear agreements, and thanked. Nothing is demanded. Nothing is threatened. Practically speaking, this is also the more effective posture: a relationship built on respect produces consistent, legible results over years, while a coercive stance tends to produce noise, anxiety and abandoned practice. Students who arrive expecting the horror-film version of demonology consistently find the real discipline slower, quieter and far more demanding of self-honesty.

How to study the Goetia in a structured order

The common mistake is to begin with the most famous names. A better sequence begins with preparation: grounding, attention training, ritual hygiene, record-keeping. From there, choose one spirit whose office matches a genuine, current need, read the primary entry, read the Academy's study article on that spirit, and only then move to the course or grimoire that treats it in depth. Work one relationship at a time for several weeks, keeping a written record of what was asked, what was observed and what changed. After three or four such cycles, the pattern of the whole catalogue becomes readable and you can navigate by office. The pillar below is arranged for exactly this: each of the seventy-two entries links to its article, its course and its grimoire, so a student can move from curiosity to a structured programme without leaving the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Ars Goetia?

The Ars Goetia is the first of the five books of the Lemegeton, or Lesser Key of Solomon, a seventeenth-century grimoire that catalogues 72 spirits with their ranks, legions, seals and offices. It is a reference index of spirit intelligences and their fields of knowledge rather than a narrative or a scripture.

How many demons are in the Ars Goetia?

Seventy-two. The list runs from Bael, the first king, to Andromalius, the seventy-second earl. Every one of the 72 is indexed on this page with the article, course and grimoire that studies it.

What does ars goetia mean?

Ars is Latin for art or craft; goetia comes from the Greek goeteia, an old word for the sung or spoken calling of spirits. Together the title means, roughly, the art of invocation.

Who wrote the Ars Goetia and when?

No single author. It circulated anonymously in manuscript form during the seventeenth century, compiled from earlier sources including Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of 1577. S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley published the best-known English edition in 1904.

Are the Goetic demons fallen angels?

That identification comes from a later Christian reading, not from the text itself. The Goetia describes ranks, offices and legions but does not narrate a fall. In this Academy the 72 are studied as distinct intelligences with their own domains, without importing an adversarial theology.

What is a demon sigil or seal used for?

A seal is the line-figure given for each spirit in the grimoire and functions as an address: a stable, agreed focus for attention during a working. It is drawn or engraved, held in focus, and used as the anchor point of the operation rather than as a decorative symbol.

Is the Lesser Key of Solomon the same as the Key of Solomon?

No. The Key of Solomon, Clavicula Salomonis, is an earlier and separate grimoire concerned mainly with talismans and ritual preparation. The Lesser Key, Lemegeton, is a later compilation of five books, of which the Ars Goetia is the first.

Is it safe to study the Goetia?

Studied with structure it is a disciplined practice, not a hazard. The Academy teaches preparation, clear intent, defined ritual boundaries, written records and a formal close to every working, and approaches every spirit cooperatively rather than through coercion. What harms students is improvised practice under emotional pressure, not the material itself.

Which Goetic spirit should a beginner start with?

Start from your actual need, not from fame. Identify the office you need — learning, clarity of speech, reconciliation, discovery, discipline — then choose the spirit whose entry matches, and work that single relationship for several weeks before adding another.

Do I need the original grimoire to begin?

No. Reading the primary entry is valuable, but the study articles, courses and grimoires linked from this pillar present each spirit's office, seal and method in a structured form, along with the preparation the classical text assumes you already have.
