The Solomonic Spirits: The Forgotten Lineage of Gods, Daimons, and Demons is a rigorous and illuminating exploration of one of the most misunderstood systems in Western esotericism. Moving beyond fear-based demonology, this work traces the seventy-two spirits of the Ars Goetia back to their origins as neutral intelligences—forces of order, knowledge, movement, transformation, and authority embedded within ancient cosmologies.
Drawing from Mesopotamian, Egyptian (Kemetian), Greek, Jewish, and medieval Christian traditions, the book reconstructs the world that existed before demons were moralized. It examines how gods became daimons, how daimons became demons, and how theological polemics reshaped functional cosmic agents into figures of fear. Through detailed analysis of the Testament of Solomon, the Lesser Key of Solomon, and related wisdom traditions, the Solomonic hierarchy is revealed not as a catalogue of evil, but as a sophisticated system of governance and balance.
Each rank—kings, dukes, princes, marquises, counts, and presidents—is examined as part of a living cosmological architecture, alongside planetary logic, sacred language, and symbolic authority. The work concludes with a psychological and archetypal reading of the Solomonic spirits, presenting them as mirrors of inner forces such as power, desire, intellect, discipline, and ethical reason.
This book is not a manual of summoning, nor a work of fiction. It is a historical, philosophical, and symbolic study of how humanity has understood invisible intelligences—and how those intelligences continue to shape thought, myth, and meaning.
For readers of occult history, comparative religion, esoteric philosophy, and symbolic psychology, The Solomonic Spirits offers a profound reorientation: from demons to intelligences, from fear to structure, and from chaos to cosmic order.
