Seere
The 70th spirit of the Lesser Key of Solomon.
The old books set Seere down as a Prince of the Goetia, 70th of the seventy-two, commanding 26 legions and approached from the South. The recorded form: beautiful man on winged horse. What follows is what the sources say, and the name of the answer they give.
A note on this material
This is a defensive reference, not an instruction in summoning. Every spirit here is set beside its countermanding angel, the Watcher whose office stands opposite. You are given the name of the answer, never the procedure of the call.

Where the sources differ
The name travels badly. Seere appears variously as Seir, Seire, Sear — the drift of a name carried through Latin, French and English hands over four centuries.
If this spirit’s domain has touched your life
The domain the tradition assigns to Seere is this: transports quickly, finds thefts, discovers hidden things. If you believe something of that shape is working against you or around you, the older grammar is blunt about the response. You do not address the spirit. You call the angel set against it.
Call on Jabamiah. The Watcher whose office stands opposite this domain. Read the full profile and the 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 Jabamiah by name. Speak or write the call. Do not address the spirit directly.
- Guard against sudden uprooting. Make no irreversible move — no resignation, no relocation, no severing — while the pressure to move is this strong. This office works by urgency, and urgency is the tell.
- Carry the stone the tradition gives. The medieval lapidary assigns particular stones to particular protections — see the Crystal Directory.
- 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?
No. Reading what a tradition recorded about a spirit's domain is not the same as calling on it, and nothing here gives a procedure for calling. These are the same attributes catalogued in every serious historical and academic treatment of the Lemegeton, set down so that a reader can recognise a pattern and find the protection named against it.
Who is the angel that counters Seere?
Jabamiah. The pairing runs through the countermanding tradition, angel set against office. Jabamiah's profile, prayer, and paired stone →
How was the Goetia compiled?
The Goetia is the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, assembled in the seventeenth century out of older material. Johann Weyer had printed much of the same catalogue in 1577, and Reginald Scot carried it into English in 1584. The lists do not always agree, which is the most useful thing about them.
