chiefs, one hundred servitors, and eighty-seven
demons under SAMAEL.
Barbatos will only appear when the sun is in
Sagittarius, but when he does appear he does so
with four of his noble kings and three companies
of troops. He dresses like a huntsman of the
woods, wearing green and carrying a bow and a
quiver. The arrows he shoots cause wounds that
are extremely difficult to heal. He is summoned
because he knows and reveals the location of
treasures hidden with magic. He also knows the
past and the future, reconciles friends and those
who are in power, teaches all sciences, and also
understands the language of the birds and other
animals.

Barbiel
Variations: Barbuel, BARUEL
Originally from Chaldean demonology, in
Enochian lore Barbiel (“illumination of God”) is
a FALLEN ANGEL, formerly of the Order of
Virtues. He is considered to be an ARCHDEMON
and a retrograde spirit. He is also listed as one of
the seven PLANETARY PRINCES of Hell, one of
the “seven phantoms of flame,” and one of the
seven ELECTORS OF HELL. In Heinrich
Cornelius Agrippa Von Netteshim’s De Occulta
Philosophia (1531), he is named as one of the
twenty-eight demonic rulers of the lunar mansions, commanding the mansion Archaam (see
ENOCHIAN RULERS OF THE LUNAR MANSIONS).
He is under the command of Zaphiel, an angelic
overlord.
Living in the bowels of the earth, Barbiel
causes problems with harvest and travelers and
creates discord between people. He is more powerful than any other demon in his cosmology. He
moves against the stars, affects the economy, and
causes earthquakes.
There is also an angel with this name, but the
two are separate entities.

In the Theurgia Goetia, the second book of the
Lemegeton, Barchiel, an AERIAL DEVIL, is a chief
duke in service under HYDRIEL, one of the eleven
WANDERING PRINCES. Commanding 1,320

with a virgin’s face and head, and he is very courteous and willing to obey. Barchiel is both a diurnal and nocturnal demon who lives in or near
water, marshes, and wetlands.

the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone, is the
master of all arts, and knows all secret knowledge.
