A 2023 Munich Manual of Demonic Magic
Direct contact with a demon can be intimidating at first, that’s why it’s important to come well prepared. Anyone can contact a demon, you do not have to have an occult background. However, it is helpful if you have done some shadow work.
Astaroth
One of the great dukes of hell, Astaroth is one of the more powerful demons. She encourages laziness, vanity, and rationalised philosophies in her followers, and teaches them mathematical sciences and handicrafts. She is associated with the planet Jupiter and the month of August. Her gender is (as is the case for many demons) ambiguous, but as she is so often equivocated to goddesses like Venus, Astarte and Freya, I opt to address her like I would them.
Andras
Andras can be one of the harder demons to work with. He has a reputation for being impatient with humans and taking what they say quite literally, so summoners are advised to be careful with their words. Conciseness and precision are very important when dealing with him. He has a special taste for interpersonal issues, picking them apart with his sharp wit and tongue.
Buer
Buer is one of the most erudite demons in all of the realms. He is knowledgeable not only in philosophy and ethics, but also logic, medicine, and the natural sciences. He very much enjoys teaching his followers and has a knack for academic writing and puzzle-solving. He is associated with sign of Sagittarius.
Furfur
Keeper of secrets and lord of the storm, Furfur is an enigmatic demon. He controls thunder, lightning and rain, and has a special interest in the matters of love. He can sometimes play tricks on summoners, and must be compelled to tell the truth by special magic, or clever tricks in return. He also enjoys schemes and mischief.
Marchocias
A loyal and strong fighter, Marchocias will gladly help those who summon them. As they were deceived by King Solomon, it is very important to be honest and upfront about your motivations to this demon. They will listen happily and not judge you, as long as you remain fully truthful with them. In turn, they will also answer any of your questions with the truth.
Caim
Caim is a president of hell, and he enjoys playing up the title a little bit. A lot of the time he is seen in elegant clothes or even a uniform, giving an ironic nod to humans’ understanding of hierarchies. He is a friend to all animals and proud disputer, and will gladly help anyone who has to prove themselves in a debate.
Stolas
Stolas has been described as pacifistic and even reclusive. He avoids conflict to the point that even in the great battles of hell, he merely offered his guidance to help his allies find their way. His main area of interest is astronomy, which also uniquely qualifies him in issues of navigation. Stolas is a very knowledgeable and curious demon, and he is more familiar with the details of the modern world than many of his peers.
