Fumaroth
Folklore of the Middle Ages tells us that once,
during childbirth, a woman forgot to make the
sign of the cross before drinking a cup of water;
this simple act enabled the demon Fumaroth to
enter into her body.

OF SOLOMON (see COUNTS OF HELL and EARLS
OF HELL). Most powerful during the second hour

of the night, when summoned he appears as an
angel who speaks with a hoarse voice or as a
winged stag with human arms and a flaming tail.
He is summoned for his ability to create marital
love and will answer truthfully any questions
asked of him regarding the divine or secret
knowledge. He can also create lightning, powerful winds, and thunder. Unless Furfur is bound
inside a magical triangle, he cannot be trusted to
speak the truth.

Furcalor

Furia

Variations: Focalor, Forcalor
In the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lemegeton, Furcalor is a FALLEN ANGEL formerly of the
Order of Thrones and is ranked as the Duke of
Water (see DUKES OF HELL). He is said to command either three or thirty legions of demons;
sources vary. It is said that Furcalor had hoped
to be able to return to Heaven after a thousand
years of exile, but he had been misled into believing this. Described as looking like a man with
the wings of a griffon, Furcalor feeds his murderous tendencies by drowning men and sinking
warships with his command over the sea and
wind. He is casually violent, so when summoned
he must be commanded not to harm any man or
living thing.
It is believed by some scholars that Rofocale
is an anagram for the demon Furcalor.

Fureas
Duke Fureas, a lesser demon, is described as

(“the madnesses”), the Potniae (“the awful ones”),
the Praxidikae (“the vengeful ones”), Semnai

Murder”).
According to the ancient Greek dramatist
Aeschylus, the Furies were born the daughters of
the goddess Nyx. The Greek poet Hesiod said
they were born when the life-blood of Uranus
mixed with his wife, Gaea. Sophocles, one of the
most influential writers of Ancient Greece, believed them to be the daughters of Darkness and
Gaea. It was Euripides, the last of the three great
