Phenex

Phenex is a goetic demon marquis, commanding twenty legions of spirits. He inspires the poet and schools the musician, but the music he sings can drive one to madness. He appears with black wings that molt when he flies, or sometimes as an angel of light, especially when he steps inside the conjuror’s circle. He says that one day he hopes to return to heaven, but that is probably a lie. Here is one description of him:

“Phenex is a great marquesse, appearing like the bird Phoenix, having a child’s voice: but before he standeth still before the conjuror, he singeth manie sweet notes. Then the exorcist with his companions must beware he give no eare to the melodie, but must by and by bid him put on humane shape; then will he speake marvellouslie of all woonderfull sciences. He is an excellent poet, and obedient, he hopeth to returne to the seventh throne after a thousand two hundreth yeares, and governeth twentie legions.”
