Glasya-Labolas

The 25th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon.

Glasya-Labolas is the 25th spirit catalogued in the Lesser Key of Solomon (the Lemegeton) — a President/Earl of the Goetia, commanding 36 legions, approached from the East. The site presents this material as a defensive catalogue: know the spirit's domain to invoke its countermanding angel.

A note on this material

The Goetia tradition is documented here as a defensive reference, not as instruction in summoning. Each demon is paired with its countermanding angel — the holy Watcher whose office is the protective opposite of the spirit's domain. The site's purpose is to give the reader the name of the answer.

If this spirit’s domain has touched your life

The site’s diagnostic position: if you suspect the patterns the Goetia tradition assigns to Glasya-Labolas — teaches arts/sciences instantly, causes love and hate, knows past/future — are operating against or around you, the answer is not engagement with the spirit. The answer is the countermanding angel.

Call on Nith-Haiah. The archangel whose office is the protective opposite of Glasya-Labolas's domain. See the full profile and traditional prayer →

The protection the tradition prescribes

Name the pattern. Write down, clearly, the specific way you suspect the influence is operating. Vague suspicion gives the influence cover.
Call on Nith-Haiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the spirit directly.
Carry a protective stone. The medieval tradition gives specific stones for specific protections — see the Crystal Directory.
Bless the threshold. Salt and iron at the door of the home; holy water if available; a brief prayer at the entry.
Repeat for forty days. The tradition is consistent on this duration — long enough to break a settled pattern.

Common questions

Is it dangerous to read about Goetia demons?

The site treats Goetia material as a defensive catalogue, presented historically. Reading about a demon's domain is not the same as invoking it. The site does not provide summoning procedures or operational invocations. What is recorded here is the same material catalogued by every serious occult and academic source on the Lemegeton.

Who is the angel that counters Glasya-Labolas?

Nith-Haiah is the archangel paired with Glasya-Labolas in the countermanding tradition. See Nith-Haiah's full profile, traditional prayer, and paired stone →

How was the Goetia compiled?

The Goetia is the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon (the Lemegeton), a grimoire compiled in the 17th century from earlier medieval sources. The 72 spirits and their attributes are drawn from these sources. The site treats them as historical demonological tradition, not as personal practice.
