In demonology, Furfur is a powerful Great Count of Hell. He is the 34th Spirit mentioned in The Lesser Key of Solomon. This Earl rules over 26 Legions of demons. The name ‘Furfur’ in Latin means “bran”. However, it seems like the name is a variation of “Furcifer” the Latin word meaning ” rascal”. He is also a Day Demon.

In his demonic form, Furfur has a greyish skin, accompanied by a long black mane crowning his head with a helmet.  His body is muscular and well-formed, then on his back is a pair of wings that allow him to fly freely.

On his muscular arms are bracelets used for protection. His eyes seem to shine as the flame of hell. And his hands end with sharp nails that can scratch and make blood flow easily.  His chest is engraved with fire.

In his human form, he appears as a beautiful woman with blond hair, blue eyes, and white wings. Furfur speaks with a hoarse but strangely soft and musical voice.

Characteristics of Demon Furfur:

• This demon triggers devastating storms, thunderstorms, and heavy lightning. He can easily fill a clear sky with dark stormy clouds.
• Furfur loves to tell lies and can be very tricky. This demon responds only to abstract things and likes to divert the conversation. If you are able to force him into the magical triangle, then he would transform into a beautiful angel and speak the truth to the conjurer.
• He has a great passion for war and can incite feelings of strife in his followers.
• Furfur often creates love feelings between a man and a woman and promotes marital relations.
• Furfur can reveal the secret thoughts of others and give useful answers about hidden and spiritual matters.

Working with Goetia Demon Furfur

Furfur can teach the witch the art of astral shapeshifting and also grants her protection against enemies. When possessed with this spirit, the witch becomes very skillful in spewing out heresy to deceive and mislead people.

This demon rules over introspection, attraction, transformation, carnal ego and aggressive behavior. He can cause havoc on a person’s introspection and promote the destruction of one’s ego. This demon teaches the witch matters of divinity and esotericism.

A ritual to summon Furfur should be carried out during the day, using red candles and in a quiet place, preferably outside your house, and surrounded by cypress trees. According to S. Connolly in the Daemonolatry Goetia, Furfur is the demon of fire scrying and you can invoke him to raise the energy during or before a ritual. Unlike other authors, Connolly said that Furfur would always speak the truth if asked the right question. Those who seek the assistance of this demon should do it respectfully.

Apart from the traditional demonic ENN for Furfur, below are some other chants that are used while working with this demon.

Agios Ischyros Furtur Divus Ab Qliphoth

“Numinous and Mighty is Furtur, the Spirit of the Qliphoth!”

Ave Doctus Pernimius Furtur

“Hail to the Great and Wise Furtur!”

Obveni Furfur Agenti Ex Acharayim

“Come, Furfur, Emissary of the Backwards Tree!”

Existe Furtur– Advoco Comitis Furfur

“Appear, Furtur– I Call Earth Furfur!”

 

Savannah’s Encounter with Furfur

When I am working with FurFur, I like to show my devotion by offering a “prayer” or giving praise, as below. She helps me with my love spells for clients, and to provide knowledge on other matters. I offer blood on the sigil at my altar.
