Greaterwell-documentedEuropean grimoiresGoetic/solomonic magicWestern Europe (grimorial tradition)
Origin

Gemory does not possess a narrative origin tale within the cited materials; rather, she appears as a catalogued spirit across multiple grimoires. She is named and described in compilations such as the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic, the Liber Officiorum Spirituum, the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, the Lesser Key of Solomon (Goetia), and later works summarized in Dictionnaire Infernal. These sources present her as one of the organized, individuated spirits invoked or catalogued by ritual magicians; they do not offer a mythic birth or genealogy for the entity in the excerpts provided.

Appearance

Gemory is consistently described in the grimoire summaries as appearing in the form of a beautiful woman wearing a duchess's crown and riding a camel. Several Goetic texts nevertheless use masculine grammatical pronouns when listing such spirits. Some manuscripts (Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and the Lesser Key) report the duchess's crown as placed at the waist; editors Skinner and Rankine have suggested this reading may stem from a mistranslation of Latin cingitur and that the crown likely encircles the head. The provided summaries emphasize the visual motif of a crowned female figure mounted on a camel.

Abilities

Across the cited grimoires Gemory is attributed the ability to reveal hidden treasures, to answer questions about the past, present, and future, and to procure love from women. The Liber Officiorum Spirituum specifically describes her as "a companion of the love of women, and especially of maidens." Sources assign her a ducal/princely/captain status and credit her with commanding multiple legions of spirits; the number of legions varies between texts (commonly 26 in Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, the Lesser Key, and Dictionnaire Infernal; 27 in the Munich Manual; and differing figures such as 5 or 42 in Liber Officiorum Spirituum).

57 Mnemosyne

57 Mnemosyne is a large main-belt asteroid (S-type) discovered in 1859 and named after the Greek Titaness Mnemosyne. It is a non-sentient astronomical body studied for its orbital and rotational properties and has been used in dynamical measurements related to Jupiter.

Aamon

Aamon (also Amon) is a named spirit in early modern Western grimoire tradition (Pseudomonarchia Daemonum; the Ars Goetia / Lesser Key of Solomon). He is presented as a high-ranking infernal officer (Marquis/Prince) who governs forty legions and is credited with knowledge of past and future and with affecting human relationships (reconciling or procuring feuds and favor).

Abrahel

Abrahel is a demonological entity attested in early modern sources (notably Nicholas Rémy's Demonolatria as summarized in modern reference) portrayed as a female sexual spirit who seduced a man in 1581, induced him to kill his son, then restored the child to life in exchange for worship; the revival produced a diminished, foul-smelling corpse that later died again.

Abraxas

Abraxas (Abrasax) is a late‑antique Gnostic and magical name attested as a high-ranking cosmic power in heresiological summaries and as a potent name engraved on amulets (so-called Abraxas stones) in the Greco‑Roman magical milieu. Heresiologists associate Abraxas with rulership of 365 heavens and note the name's numerological value, while archaeological and papyrological contexts show its use as an amuletic formula.

Achamōth

Achamōth is a feminine emanational figure in certain Gnostic systems, attested as a daughter or subordinate aspect of the divine Wisdom, Sophia. She appears in ophitic/Naassene mythic genealogies where she is named as motherly/filial to lower, problematic figures such as Ilda‑Baoth; beyond this genealogical role the supplied sources record little concrete description or ritual material specific to her.

Adam Kadmon

Adam Kadmon (Hebrew: אָדָם קַדְמוֹן) is the Kabbalistic Primordial Man: a supra‑human, archetypal pattern or persona projected at the first stage of creation after God's contraction (tzimtzum). It is a metaphysical template corresponding to the highest aspect of divine intention and the sefirotic structure rather than a historical, corporeal individual.

Aedesia

Aedesia is a proper name attested in the supplied sources with three distinct referents: a fifth‑century Neoplatonic woman philosopher of Alexandria, a modern botanical genus (Aedesia O.Hoffm.) native to parts of West and Central Tropical Africa, and a reused toponym/moon name in a speculative fiction setting. None of the provided materials portray Aedesia as a supernatural being or attribute spiritlike powers to the name.

Aeon (Gnosticism)

In Gnostic religious systems an Aeon is a divine emanation or hypostasis that issues from the supreme divine source and together with other Aeons composes the Pleroma, the realm or fullness of divine reality. Aeons function as personified principles or powers (e.g., Nous, Sophia) that mediate between the ultimate One and lower levels of existence; their names, numbers, and relationships vary across Gnostic schools (Valentinian, Basilidian, Sethian, etc.).

Agaliarept

A named high-ranking spirit from post-medieval grimoire tradition, presented in the Grimoirium Verum and the Grand Grimoire as a commanding officer in a hierarchical host of spirits; credited with revealing secrets and commanding a legion, and cited in later printed occult imprints and modern fiction.

Agares

Agares is a named, ranked spirit in the European grimoire tradition. Frequently presented as an elderly man associated with the eastern quarter, he is credited in multiple grimoires with teaching languages, stopping or retrieving runaway persons, causing earthquakes, and granting noble titles, and is invoked in evocations and object-binding experiments.

Agathos Daimon (Agathodaemon)

A beneficent household and civic daemon attested in classical Greek and Graeco‑Egyptian religion. In domestic Greece it is a household spirit honored with post‑meal libations; in Ptolemaic Alexandria it appears prominently in serpentine civic and household forms and is syncretised with various Egyptian protective and fate deities in late antiquity.

Agrippa

Agrippa is a polyvalent Latin personal name attested across Roman myth (a legendary king of Alba Longa), multiple historical figures (e.g., Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Agrippa Postumus, Herod Agrippa I & II), and a Renaissance occult author (Heinrich/Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa). The supplied sources treat Agrippa primarily as an onomastic label rather than a single, consistent supernatural entity.
