Sigil of Ronove Stainless Steel Necklace

Ronove is the wordsmith of the Goetia, and this stainless steel sigil pendant is for anyone whose weapon of choice is a well-placed sentence. He's the 27th spirit of the Ars Goetia, a Marquis and Great Earl commanding nineteen legions, described only as appearing in the form of a monster — the grimoire leaves the specifics deliberately vague.

His office is language and persuasion: he teaches the art of rhetoric exceptionally well, grants knowledge of tongues, provides good and loyal servants, and secures favor with both friends and foes. Later folklore adds a much darker undertone — describing him as a taker of old souls, one who comes to earth to harvest the souls of the decrepit and the dying, human and animal alike.

Wear it for rhetoric, for finding the right words under pressure, for loyalty in the people around you — and for carrying a little bit of that quieter, more unsettling gravity underneath the polish.

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

Who Is Ronove?

Ronove (also spelled Ronové, Roneve, or Ronwe) is the 27th spirit of the Ars Goetia, the first book of the Lesser Key of Solomon, ranked a Marquis and Great Earl commanding nineteen legions of spirits (some sources give twenty). He's consistently described only as appearing "in the form of a monster," with no further detail on his shape — one of the more visually undefined entries in the entire catalogue, later interpreted by 19th-century illustrators as an ape-headed, staff-carrying figure.

His domain is firmly linguistic: he teaches the art of rhetoric with particular skill, imparts knowledge of languages, and provides faithful servants along with the favor of both friends and enemies. This description holds consistently from Johann Weyer's 16th-century Pseudomonarchia Daemonum through the Ars Goetia and into the 19th-century Dictionnaire Infernal.

Beyond the grimoires, folk tradition has attached a considerably grimmer role to him — as a collector of old souls, said to visit the earth to claim the souls of the decrepit and dying, both human and animal, as they near their end. It's a strange pairing: a demon celebrated for eloquence and diplomatic favor, quietly doubling as a reaper for the elderly and infirm.
