According to Christian demonology Dantalian
is the Duke of Faces, commanding thirty-six legions of demons (see DUKES OF HELL). He can
be summoned any time of the day or night and
appears as a man with the faces of many men and
women. In his right hand he is holding a book.
He is summoned for his ability to encourage love,
produce hallucinations, and reveal a person’s innermost desires. He also knows what good advice
a person would give to another and changes their
mind about speaking. He can show the face of
any person he so desires in a vision, and teaches
all the arts and sciences. He is most powerful
during the month of March and has dominion
over the planet Mars. His zodiacal sign is Pisces.
Dantalian is also named as one of the seventytwo SPIRITS OF SOLOMON.
