Flauros

Other Names / Variants: Hauras, Haures, Havres, Flaurob

Hauras: One of the 72 spirits that Solomon, according to legend, shut up in a brass vessel and cast into a deep lake (or into the sea).  Formerly, as he confided to Solomon, Hauras was a mighty celestial power (but to which order he belonged he did not say).  He converses gladly about the creation of the world and the fall of the angels.  In Hell, where he is a great duke, he appears in the form of a leopard but, on command of an exorcist, will manifest in human shape.  He gives true answers concerning the past and the future.  Under his sway, and ready to do his bidding, are 36 legions of the damned.  His sigil is shown in Waite, The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, p. 186.  In De Plancy, Dictionnaire Infernal (1863 ed.) he is pictured in the shape of a man-leopard.

Flauros a strong duke, is seene in the forme of a terrible strong leopard, in humane shape, he sheweth a terrible countenance, and fierie eies, he answereth trulie and fullie of things present, past, and to come; if he be in a triangle, he lieth in all things and deceiveth in other things, and beguileth in other busines, he gladlie talketh of the divinitie, and of the creation of the world, and of the fall; he is constrained by divine vertue, and so are all divels or spirits, to burne and destroie all the conjurors adversaries. And if he be commanded, he suffereth the conjuror not to be tempted, and he hath twentie legions under him.  (g)

Shape with Eyes Flaming and Fiery, and a most Terrible Countenance. He giveth True Answers of all things, Present, Past, and to Come. But if he be not commanded into a Triangle, Δ, he will Lie in all these Things, and deceive and beguile the Exorcist in these things, or in such and such business. He will, lastly, talk of the Creation of the World, and of Divinity, and of how he and other Spirits fell. He destroyeth and burneth up those who be the Enemies of the Exorcist should he so desire it; also he will not suffer him to be tempted by any other Spirit or otherwise. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen, etc. (h)
