Sigil of Orobas Stainless Steel Necklace

Orobas is the demon with a reputation problem — in the best way. Cast in stainless steel and stamped with his sigil from the Ars Goetia, this necklace is for anyone who wants their jewelry to carry a little honesty with it.

He's the 55th spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Great Prince commanding twenty legions, and the grimoires go out of their way to say he doesn't lie, doesn't deceive, and won't let the exorcist be tempted by other spirits — which, in a text otherwise stuffed with tricksters, is basically a five-star review. He first appears as a horse before taking human form at command, and his office covers past, present, and future, questions of divinity and creation, and securing favor with both friends and enemies. Modern lore also ties him to horses and to shutting down slander and gossip, so consider this necklace an option for anyone dealing with a rumor mill that needs to quiet down.

Wear it for truth-seeking, for protection against deception, for divination — or just because it's nice to carry around a demon who's, canonically, incapable of lying to you.

Who Is Orobas?

Orobas is the 55th spirit listed in the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, and one of the few entries in the entire catalogue that reads almost like a character reference. He's ranked a Great Prince commanding twenty legions of spirits, and he's described as appearing first in the form of a horse, then assuming human shape once commanded by the exorcist.

His office covers a lot of ground: revealing things past, present, and to come; answering questions concerning divinity and the creation of the world; granting dignities and positions of authority; and securing the favor of both friends and foes. What sets him apart, though, is the character note the grimoire bothers to include — he deceives no one, and he won't permit the practitioner to be tempted or misled by other spirits. In a text mostly cataloguing entities you're warned to be careful around, that's a rare and deliberate distinction.

Later folklore adds a few extra details: Orobas is sometimes named a patron of horses, and credited with putting a stop to slander and gossip aimed at the people who call on him. Between the fidelity, the truth-telling, and the horse connection, he's become a go-to for practitioners doing protection work, divination, or anything where they need a straight answer and someone in their corner.
