Onoel: In gnostic lore, Onoel is one of
the 7 archons. Origen cites him as hostile, a demon, who manifests
in the form of an ass. In the list given by Origen, however,
Gabriel and Michael are included among the 7 archons. [Rf.
Conybeare, The
Testament of Solomon;
Grant, Gnosticism and
Early Christianity;
Mead, Thrice-Greatest
Hermes (I, 294);
Origen, Contra Celsum.]

Oniel: Perhaps the same as
Onoel. Equated with
Hutriel (q.v.). Oniel is supervisor
of the 5th division of Hell, where Ahab dwells, Ahab
being one of the few "who have no portion in the world to come."
[Rf. Midrash Konen; Ginzber, The Legends of the Jews IV, 188;
Revelation of Rabbi Joshua ben Levi.] (a)

Goetia – The Second Book of the Lemegeton." Edited, formatted,
and converted to Acrobat by Benjamin Rowe, June 1999.
This edition was assembled from various published versions, and later checked
and modified against a microfilm of Sloane MS. 2731 from the British Museum.
The text as shown does not precisely reflect any of the versions; it is
closest to the British Museum version, but with some interpolated words to
enable the reader to more easily make sense of it. The Seals of the Spirits
are substantially the same as those in the BM version.
