Marchosias

The seal of Marchosias
The seal, worn as a lamen before the spirit is called — the book is explicit that without it he will not do you homage.

What this is

The Thirty-fifth Spirit is Marchosias. He is a Great and Mighty Marquis, appearing at first in the Form of a Wolf 18 having Gryphon’s Wings, and a Serpent’s Tail, and Vomiting Fire out of his mouth. But after a time, at the command of the Exorcist he putteth on the Shape of a Man. And he is a strong fighter. He was of the Order of Dominations. He governeth 30 Legions of Spirits. He told his Chief, who was Solomon, that after 1,200 years he had hopes to return unto the Seventh Throne. And his Seal is this, to be made and worn as a Lamen, etc. 18 In one Codex of the seventeenth century, very badly written, it might be read "Ox" instead of "Wolf." - TRANS. [For me he appeared always like an ox, and very dazed.-ED.]
