tragedians of classical Athens, who was the first
to say that the Furies’ total number was three.
No matter how it was that these demons came
into existence, they were described as being
blood-covered, their eyes weeping with blood,
and living snakes for their hair. In the older
myths, they were said to have the body of a DOG
and the wings of a bat.
The Furies are the personification of curses and
vengeance, preying upon anyone who broke the
“natural laws,” particularly those who committed
fratricide, patricide, or other types of family-related murder, as it was believed that mortal men
did not have the right or the authority to enforce
justice on that type of criminal. Although their
typical victim was usually human, the Furies did
strike Xanthus, a magical horse, dumb for rebuking the hero Achilles. Typically the Furies would
drive their victims insane. They lived in the Underworld and when they were there, they would
torture the souls of the damned.

Gaap
Variations: GOAP, GORSON, Tap, Zaazonash,
Zazel
A FALLEN ANGEL formerly of the Order of
Potentates, Gaap holds many ranks, some of
which include King of the West, president,
Prince of Hell, Prince of the West, and one of
the FOUR PRINCIPAL KINGS (see KINGS OF HELL
and PRESIDENTS OF HELL). This nocturnal
demon is in service to AMAYMON and commands
sixty-six legions of his own. In Solomonic lore
Gaap was listed as one of the SPIRITS OF
SOLOMON and was trapped inside a brass vessel.


Gaap is summoned for his willingness to answer truthfully questions regarding the past, present, and future; he also gives FAMILIARs, which
he will take from their current master, and he will
transport a person from one place to another instantly. Additionally, he can cause insanity, stir
up the loves and hates in men, teach the liberal
sciences as well as philosophy, and give instructions on how to bless items and devote them to
his king, AMAYMON.
When Gaap appears before his summoner he
will do so in the guise of a man, but on occasion
he will also have huge batlike wings. This is an
extremely proud demon and unless bound inside
a magical triangle he will not speak a word of
truth. Burning offerings and sacrifices to him will
greatly reduce the chance of him attacking.

of Angel Magic, 54.

Variations: Gadreel, Gadrel, Gadriel
The Book of Enoch names Gader’el as one of

as his wife, and fathered the NEPHILIM. He went
on to teach mankind how to make breastplates,
shields, and swords and how to effectively use
these items. His name is taken from Hebrew and
means “God is my helper.” Christian demonology claims that this demon once had sexual
relations with Eve (see also FIVE SATANS,
KASADYA, PINEM’E, and YEQON).
