Forcalor, Furcalor |
Forcalor - before he fell, Focalor was
an angel of the order of thrones. This "fact" was "proved
after infinite research," reports Spence in An Encyclopeadia of
Occultism, p. 119. Focalor is a mighty duke in the infernal
regions and commands 30 legions of demonic spirits. His
special office or mission is to sink ships of war and slay men.
After 1,000 years (or 1,500 years) he "hopes to return to the 7th
Heaven," as he confided to Solomon. When invoked, Focalor
manifests as a man with the wings of a griffin. Foclor is an
anagram for Rofocale (q.v.). For Focalor's sigil, see Waite,
The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts, p. 178.

36 FORCALOR, is a great Duke. He cometh forth as a man with
wings like a griffin. He killeth men and drowneth them in the waters
and overturneth ships of war, commanding and ruling both winds and seas,
and if the Magician biddeth him hurt no man he willingly consenteth
thereto. He hath three Legions. (s)
