The 72 Spirits of the Ars Goetia
Vassago
3rd spirit of the Ars Goetia · Prince · 26 legions
Vassago, the third spirit, is a mighty prince of 26 legions said to share the nature of Agares. The Goetia describes him as good-natured and credits him with declaring things past and future and with discovering what is hidden or lost; no outward form is given. Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum has no entry for him, and he is one of four Goetic spirits missing from that list. Later English magical manuscripts and modern writers often single him out as a spirit of scrying. Because Weyer omits him, his seal is known only from the Lemegeton manuscripts.
