your daily demon: sallos

Governing the first degrees of Cancer—from this day until 26 June, the nineteenth spirit is an infernal duke ruling thirty legion of subordinates and presents as a soldier riding a crocodile, as can be seen in his sigil. Despite this fearsome appearance, Sallos is a peacemaker and helps to reconcile relationship strife and encourage fidelity between partners. Opposed by the angel Leuviah, Sallos is possibly a conflation of the iconography associated with the Ancient Egyptian goddess Taweret, a fertility deity often portrayed with Nile crocodile and hippopotamus attributes or the Hindu river gods often personified as carried by the reptile.

your daily demon: barbatos

This infernal grand duke rules thirty legions of spirits with four subordinate companies of kings in his control—governing from today through 29 April, when the Sun is in Sagittary (☉♐︎, the constellation of the Centaur within Taurus). Formerly of the angelic rank of Virtues, this demon that presents as a wizened, bearded man as his name implies (Latin barbatus), retains insight of all things past, present and future and holds the office of interpreting the singing of birds and other animal calls and cries and seeing through the enchantment of other. Barbatos is countered with the angel Cahetel.

your daily demon: bael

The first Goetic spirit listed on the calendar of demons, the infernal and principle king that commands sixty-six legions and rules from this day, the beginning of Aries, until 25 March, is probably a syncretism of the Canaanite deity Ba’al and presents in the forms of a cat, man or toad simultaneously. Sometimes conflated with Beelzebub—Lord of the Flies—Bael’s office is to impart the power of invisibility to the exorcist and is countered by the Shem HaMephorash angel Vehuiah.
