Prince Sitri: Twelfth demon and spirit of the Ars Goetia. He is a Great Arch-Prince of Hell (or sometimes Viscount) with sixty legions of demons under his command. He is one of the demons that fell in love with King Solomon of Israel (wishing to go heaven to meet him along with 'that person') along with his descended William Twining, The Elector. The two demons who Sitri has the most familiar relationship are Shax and Dantalion. He is depicted as a leopard with the wings of a griffin, but at the request of the conjurer can take the form of a very beautiful or Handsome man. He can force men and women to love one another and make them appear naked if the conjurer desires. He can also reveal the secrets of women, often mocking them. Sitri, alongside Beleth and Yomyael, formed an evil Trinity of demons, who reigned over parts of Europe and Asia, offering Faustian Bargains to everyone who asked. They also aided the Asiatic people in battle "for as long as men had placed faith in the dark behind stars". One of these famous bargains was Peter the Great of Russia, who summoned the three demons in order to defeat the Swedes in Great Northern War. In return Beleth and two other demons demanded three things: his future sons, his heart and his eternal soul. Sitri has connected with the Egyptian god Set along with many other lesser known deities.
Original text from the Ars Goetia: “The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first with a Leopard’s head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women’s love, and Women with Men’s love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.” From Tikaboo “He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first with a Leopard’s head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women’s love, and Women with Men’s love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits.” From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford “Sitri is a spirit of Babalon-Lilith, being one who enflameth the love between individuals – lust and desire. Sitri is very useful in love and lust spells, thus being a powerful tool for the sorcerer. One may create s succubi/incubi from the shadows of Sitri in the black mirror, forming them nude in the shape that you find desirable. You may then bind the spirit to the sigil of Sitri to seek congress with by imagining so later. A very useful form in working with sexual evocation and dream projection, as to send forth a spell into the dreams of your chosen or to build into a future act, there are many possibilities with this Angelic Familiar.” From the Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly “Invoke Sitri for seduction rituals (become incubi or succubi). Invoke Sitri during sex magick to boost the energy raised. Sitri can also be called up if you seek to infuse any creative project with passion. I see Sitri as feminine and fire.” Other Names: Bitru, Sytry Rank: Prince Dates: July 12th – July 21st (Connolly)(Day Time) Alternate Dates: July 13th – July 22nd (Tikaboo), May 15th – May 19th (Runyon) Direction: West Tarot: 4 of Cups Planet: Jupiter Metal: Tin Element: Earth (Under Ziminiar) Color: Blue Plant: Hyacinth Incense: Cedar Zodiac: Cancer Demonic Enn: Lirach alora vefa Sitri TITLES - Great Arch-Prince of Hell RACE - Demon PANTHEON - Abrahamic PERSONIFY - Love, deception EQUIPMENT - 60 legions of lesser demons CONSORTS - Possibly Witches PARENTS - God (creator) SIBLINGS - Angels OTHER RELATIONSHIPS - Beleth (associate), Yomyael (associate) EQUIVALENTS - Set AFFILIATIONS - Hell, Ars Goetia ALIGNMENT - Evil
