Gremory, also spelled Gemory, is the fifty-sixth spirit in the Ars Goetia. The entry gives the rank duke and twenty-six legions, but describes the appearance as a beautiful woman riding a camel. A duchess's coronet is included in the portrait.[1][2]

A gendered description#

The titles and bodily appearance do not fit one simple grammatical pattern. The historical account combines the rank duke with a female image and language of a duchess. Modern descriptions can choose their own treatment, but should preserve this feature when reporting the source.

Peterson's transcription also records an unusual placement of the coronet. Different illustrations may move it to the conventional position on the head. That choice is an artistic interpretation of wording that is not entirely straightforward.[1]

Treasure and attraction#

Gremory answers questions about past, present, and future events and identifies hidden treasure and its location. The entry also assigns an office concerning the love of women. These are the grimoire's stated aims rather than a complete account of relationships in a modern religious tradition.[2]

The camel makes Gremory visually comparable with Paimon, whose crowned rider has a different retinue and intellectual office. Vual provides another camel-related description, though there the dromedary is initially the spirit's own form. Each figure also receives a different seal.
