Enochian Rulers of the

Lunar Mansions
In Enochian lore there are twenty-eight demonic rulers of lunar mansions. Although nearly
all sources agree on the number of rulers, very
often AMNIXIEL and DIRACHIEL are listed twice.
It is unknown if this is an error dating back to
the original source or if there are two demons
who share the same name. The rulers of lunar
mansions are ABDUXUEL, ABRINAEL, ALHONIEL,
AMNEDIEL, AMNIXIEL, AMUTIEL, ARDESIEL,
ATALIEL, AZARIEL, AZERUEL, AZIEL, BARBIEL,

Envy
Variations: Phtheneoth
The demon Envy was one of the seventy-two
SPIRITS OF SOLOMON that were used to build
Solomon’s Temple. He is described in the Testament of Solomon as a headless man. Desiring a
head of his own, he finds a head that he would
want for himself, removes it from the victim, and
then consumes it. He haunts crossroads, creating
sores, mutilating feet, and making children deaf

and mute. Envy is repelled by a flash of lightning.

Dictionary of Angels, 33, 147.

Ephata HA
Variations: Targumic
In Aramaic lore there is a vampiric demon, an
ephata, which appears as a shadow. It is formed
when the body of a deceased person did not properly decay, forcing their spirit to stay with the
body, bound to this world. At night the ephata
leaves the corpse and seeks out humans to drain
of their blood. If the corpse should ever be destroyed, then the demon will be released to pass
on to the next world. The word ephata is the Aramaic feminine plural form of the word for “night
shadows.”

EphélésYAHL
Variations: Éphialte, Ephialtes
First conceived in ancient Greece and later
adopted by ancient Rome, the ephélés (“one who
leaps upon”) was a vampiric demon with hooked
talons. Created when a person died before his
time or was murdered, the ephélés was a bringer
of NIGHTMARES. At night it would sit on a person’s chest, grabbing hold tightly with its hooks
and sending forth bad dreams.
The ephélés was identified with the gods
Artemis and Pan (Diana and Faunus in Roman
times) as well as the satyrs, sirens, and silvani.
During the reign of Augustine, the ephélés were
directly tied to the INCUBUS, SUCCUBUS, and the

god Pan, who, apart from having dominion over
flocks and shepherds, was also the giver of bad
dreams.

Ephippas
In the Testament of Solomon the king gave his
ring and a wineskin to a boy and sent him to the

harassing the people. There, the boy held the
