I am removing it from jewish mysticism because it is not jewish since there is prayers in it to jesus--Java7837 18:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Ars Notoria is NOT the fifth book of the Lesser Key. That would be the Ars Nova, wouldn't it? Notary Art is a completely seperate work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.182.114.22 (talk) 18:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] in popular culture
merging from goetia, I am leaving out the trivia section. Here it is, in case some context of notability can be established for some of the entries:
- In the Dungeons & Dragons supplemental book Tome of Magic, published by Wizards of the Coast, some of the demons in the list above are used as the basis for the vestiges of the Binder class.
- In the Brazilian roleplaying game Arkanun, published by Daemon Editora, Ars Goetia is used as basis for the pantheon of demons.
- Several villains in the TV show Charmed have there names taken from the Goetia, notably Barbas, Shax, and Asmodeus (presented as a member of The Triad), though the details of these characters are very different from their Solomonic description.
- In the Anime/Manga "Hellsing", the symbols on Alucard's gloves bear striking reference to Goetian seals.
- One of the main villains in the Japanese Version of the Playstation 2 game, Tales of Destiny 2, is Barbatos Goetia.
- In the Playstation 2 RPG game, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, the player has the opportunity to complete a map with Demon Crests, the map is called the Key of Solomon, and the crests all match in design to the goetic Demon Seals as described by Solomon.
- In the role-playing game Mage: The Awakening, goetic demons are "inner demons" - embodiments of a mage's Vice. Goetia is the practice of binding and controlling these demons, and thus confronting one's flaws directly.
- Several of these demons appear in Castlevania as various lesser enemies, particullarly in Portrait of Ruin.
- In the popular childrens TV show Yu-gi-oh, the main villans in the "Waking the Dragons" chapter use a card called "The Seal of Orichalcos", the symbols around the edge of the seal are goetic in origin even though the villans claim to be Atlantian, although it is also rumored that Goetia is of Atlantian Origin.
- In the fantasy book Orphans of Chaos by author John C. Wright, several goetic demons are mentioned as the familiars of the warlock Quentin Nemo, and the descriptions of their appearances and powers match those in Crowley's version.
[edit] question
How come the Goetia, the first part of the Lemegeton (Lesser Key of Solomon) is more popular than any of the other parts? Neo Guyver (talk) 01:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
