Ars Goetia (72-Demon Catalog)
artifactOccult & Esoteric
A 72-demon catalog built as a deliberate mirror-image inversion of 72 angels.
Who they are
The Ars Goetia, the main module of the grimoire called the Lemegeton.
What they do
It's a catalog of 72 spirits, each with an assigned rank, planetary sign, and rules for how it can appear.
How it works
It's structured as a deliberate flip of the 72 angels of a Kabbalistic tradition, and its content traces back to 16th-century texts by Johann Weyer (1577) and Reginald Scot (1584) — with the later compiler adding sigils and step-by-step procedures the earlier versions lacked.
Why it matters
The engine keeps it as a documented example of magic treated as a technical, operable system rather than vague belief.
The engine's record — word for word
Primary Lemegeton module, cataloging 72 entities with assigned correspondences (rank, planetary attribution, manifestation constraints). Mathematically structured as antinomian inversion of the 72 angels of the Kabbalistic Shemhamphorash. Source-code traced to Johann Weyer's *Pseudomonarchia Daemonum* (1577) + Reginald Scot's *Discoverie of Witchcraft* (1584); the Lemegeton compiler systematically appended sigils and operational protocols absent in earlier iterations. Engine treatment: substrate-evidence artifact under Jiang doctrine.
