In 1575 an unknown author published Grimoire
Arbatel de Magia Veterum (Arbatel of the Magic of
the Ancients) in Basel, Switzerland. In it was
mentioned the demon Aratron, a chief under the
domain of the demon CASSIEL and one of the
seven OLYMPIAN SPIRITS. He is able to command
those things which are astrologically attributed
to Saturn; 17,640,000 spirits; 36,000 legions of
spirits with each legion containing 490 spirits; 49
provinces; 49 kings; 42 princes; 35 presidents; 28
dukes; 21 ministers; 14 FAMILIARs; and seven
messengers. He is at his peak of power on the
first hour of the day on Saturdays.
Aratron would be summoned for his ability to
bring together underworld spirits with men who
seek them. He can also instantly turn to stone
any living organism; cause men to become hairy;
cure barrenness in women; give Familiars; grant
long life; teach alchemy, how to become invisible,
magic, and medicine; and transform coal into
treasure and vice versa. He will also truthfully
answer questions regarding his provinces and

provincials.
Each of the Olympian Spirits rules, in succession, for a period of 490 years. Aratron is not due
back into power until the year 2880.

command of HYDRIEL, one of the eleven WANDERING PRINCES. An AERIAL DEVIL, Arbiel him-

self commands 1,320 servitors. He may be summoned any time of the day or night, as he is a

very courteous demon and willing to obey his
summoner. When he appears, he does so as a serpent with a virgin’s face and head. Arbiel lives in
or near water, marshes, and wetlands.
