Trimasel, Demon of Deceit

Trimasel is a demon mentioned within the Grimorium Verum although he is not ascribed to any hierarchy. The demon also goes by the name Trimasael although this title hardly appears within the context of practice. He is only mentioned to be under the government of Satanachia thereby giving him something of a lofty ranking. There are no mentions of this demon within any other major grimories contributing to a discernible lack of detailed information regarding him. Lack of information regarding a demon’s history is a common theme throughout the Grimorium Verum. The Grimorium Verum states the following regarding this demon: “Trimasael teaches chemistry and all means of conjuring of the nature of deceit or sleight-of- hand. He also teaches the secret of making the Powder of Projection, by means of which the base metals may be turned into gold or silver.” The office of this demon involves knowledge of chemistry as well as transmutation. He can thus be called forth to provide counsel on these matters whenever the need arises. Not much is known regarding this demon as consistent with the other demons mentioned in the Grimorium Verum. Like the other inferior demons found within the Grimorium Verum, there is a general lack of detailed information regarding Trimasael. There can be no way of conclusively knowing his true nature thereby creating a risk of sorts. The lack of specific information regarding him means that there can be no knowing his true motives. The demon could be malevolent, benevolent, or even indifferent towards human beings. For this reason, it is advisable that conjurors with modest to zero experience do not try to summon him and instead opt for friendlier entities. This demon is summoned using the same ritual outlined in the Grimorium Verum for calling forth inferior demons. It is a relatively difficult ritual which asks the medium to avoid all forms of biblical sin nor have any sexual contact for a period of three days. After this, the last steps in the process of the invocation of the demon can be conducted by the medium. Despite its seeming complexity, it is the most basic ritual for invoking the inferior demons and quite practical. The entire ritual is detailed within the Grimorium Verum for conjuror’s convenience.  

History

The first time that this demon is mentioned within recorded history is during the publication of the Grimorium Verum in 1817 whereupon he was listed. Not much is known regarding Trimasel as consistent with the other demons in this grimorie. Ancient Middle-Eastern mythology or early Graeco-Roman narratives do not make mentions of this demon further adding to the mystery surrounding him. Trimasel was quite likely an early pagan god who was demonized with the spread of Christianity throughout the early civilizations in the Middle Ages.  

Description

Rank: Serves under Satanachia  

Appearance

There are no credible reports of this demon’s physical manifestation within the major grimories that make mention of him. Even the Grimorium Verum does not make mention of Bucons’ looks. It is quite plausible that this demon is invisible when he manifests and the conjuror should expect to feel a rush of demonic energy at the height of the ritual.
