Sigil of Haures Stainless Steel Necklace

Haures is the demon you don't fully trust but can't stop listening to, and this stainless steel sigil pendant carries exactly that tension. He's the 64th spirit of the Ars Goetia — also known as Flauros — a Great Duke commanding thirty-six legions, appearing first as a mighty, terrible leopard before shifting into human form with flaming eyes and a fearsome expression.

His office is answers — about the past, present, and future — but there's a catch: unless he's bound within a magical triangle, he'll lie and deceive rather than tell the truth. Bound properly, though, he speaks freely and gladly about divinity, the creation of the world, and how he and other spirits fell from grace. He can also destroy an exorcist's enemies by fire, and, if asked, will shield the summoner from being tempted by any other spirit.

Wear it for hard truths, for burning away what doesn't serve you, for protection against outside manipulation — just remember that with this one, the boundaries matter as much as the power.

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

Who Is Haures?

Haures (also spelled Hauras, Havres, or more commonly Flauros) is the 64th spirit of the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, ranked a Great Duke commanding thirty-six legions of spirits (earlier sources give twenty). He's described appearing first as a mighty, terrible, and strong leopard, shifting into human shape at the exorcist's command, with flaming eyes and a terrible countenance.

His domain is knowledge with a built-in warning label: he gives true answers on all things past, present, and to come — but only if commanded into a protective triangle first. Left outside it, the texts warn he will lie and deceive the exorcist in every matter. Properly constrained, he'll speak willingly about divinity, the creation of the world, and the fall of himself and other spirits. He's also credited with the power to burn and destroy the exorcist's enemies at will, and, if commanded, will prevent the summoner from being tempted by any other spirit.

This dual nature — genuinely useful but only within careful boundaries — holds consistently from Johann Weyer's 16th-century Pseudomonarchia Daemonum through the later Ars Goetia, making Haures one of the clearer illustrations in the whole text of why the grimoire's ritual precautions (the triangle, the seal, the careful wording of commands) mattered as much as the summoning itself.
