The Watcher’s Defence

The Goetia

The Fallen

Seventy-two spirits of the Lesser Key of Solomon. Each paired with its countermanding angel.

A defensive catalogue. Every spirit's domain is named, and beside it the angel the tradition sets against that office. The name of the answer, not the procedure of the call. Weyer printed much of this list in 1577; the Lemegeton renumbered it a century later, and the two do not always agree.
