From “The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King” (1904) Written by S.L. MacGregor Mathers
He is a Great King and President, appearing at first in the Form of a Bull with Gryphon’s Wings; but
after a while he putteth on Human Shape. He maketh Men Witty. He can turn Wine into Water, and
Blood into Wine, alsoWater into Wine. He can turn all Metals into Coin of the Dominion that Metal is
of. He can even make Fools wise. He governeth 33 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, etc.
From the “Encyclopedia of Demons in World Religions and Cultures ” Written by Theresa Bane
Zagam ( sic ) is a king and president, the demon of counterfeiting, deceit, and lies. Commanding
thirty legions (or thirty-three, sources vary), he appears before his summoner as a bull with griffon
wings. Witty by nature, he is summoned for his ability to change blood into oil, copper into gold, lead
into silver, metals into coins, and water into wine. He can also make a fool into a wise man and make
any man witty. He is listed as one of the Spirits of Solomon.
From the “Pseudomonarchia Daemonum” ( 1583 ) Written by Johann Weyer (Johann Wier)
Zagan [Zagam] is a great king and a president, he commeth abroad like a bull, with griphens wings,
but when he taketh humane shape, he maketh men wittie, he turneth all mettals into the coine of
that dominion, and turneth water into wine, and wine into water, he also turneth bloud into [oil],
and [oil] into bloud, and a foole into a wise man, he is head of thirtie and three legion
From the “Dictionnaire Infernal” (edition of 1863 ) Written by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de
Plancy
Original Text : Zagam, grand roi et président de l'enfer. Il a l'apparence d'un taureau aux ailes de
griffon. Il change l'eau en vin, le sang en huile, l'insensé en homme sage, le plomb en argent et le
cuivre en or. Trente légions lui obéissent.
Note from Occult World : In the Dictionnaire Infernal Zagan only rules 30 Legions of Demons instead
of the 33 that Wier and S.L. MacGregor Mathers mention.
