Sigil of Agares Stainless Steel Necklace

Agares is the demon of second chances and shifting ground, and this stainless steel sigil pendant carries both. He's the 2nd spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Duke under the power of the East, commanding thirty-one legions, appearing as a mild-mannered old man riding a crocodile with a goshawk perched on his fist — deceptively gentle for someone who can literally shake the earth.

His office covers movement in every sense: he makes those who stand still run, and brings runaways back; he teaches every language instantly; and he holds power to destroy dignities both spiritual and temporal, as well as to cause earthquakes. It's a demon of reversal — stopping stagnation, returning what's fled, and unsettling structures that need to fall.

Wear it for breaking through stagnation, for language and communication, for shaking loose whatever's gotten too settled — literally or otherwise.

• Material: Stainless steel (tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic-friendly, built for daily wear)
• Design: Agares's sigil from the Ars Goetia, rendered as a 1" pendant
• Chain: 17" length

Who Is Agares?

Agares (also spelled Agreas, Agarat, or Agarus) is the 2nd spirit of the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, ranked a Duke under the power of the East, commanding thirty-one legions of spirits. He appears as an old, fair man of mild appearance, riding a crocodile and carrying a goshawk on his fist — a striking contrast between his gentle look and the forceful nature of his powers.

His abilities center on movement and reversal: he makes those who stand still run, and compels runaways to return; he teaches all languages and tongues instantly; and he holds the power to destroy dignities, both spiritual and temporal, as well as to cause earthquakes. He's described as formerly belonging to the angelic Order of Virtues before his fall — a lineage he shares with several other Goetic dukes.

This description stays remarkably consistent across sources, appearing in the Livre des Esperitz (under the name Agarat), Johann Weyer's earlier Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, the Lesser Key of Solomon, and the 19th-century Dictionnaire Infernal — making Agares one of the more stable and well-documented entries near the very start of the grimoire's catalogue.
