President breaks from the feudal pattern of the other Ars Goetia ranks; it names a spirit said to govern or preside rather than command troops in the field. Several spirits hold the title jointly with a nobility rank such as earl or duke, and sources disagree on exactly how the two kinds of title relate.
Facts
Overview
What Defines This GroupingThe spirits the Ars Goetia ranks as presidents, the one title in its scheme that is administrative rather than noble. Rank is a literary grade assigned by the grimoire; it says nothing about any spirit's standing in any religion. 2 Origins
Whose Classification This IsThe rank ladder is the Ars Goetia's, compiled in England in the mid-seventeenth century from older material including Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum of 1577. Manuscripts differ, and some give a spirit more than one rank. 2Tradition: Ars Goetia (Lemegeton), mid-17th century Learn More
