Chamor

Chamor is a demon named in the Ars Theurgia, where he appears as one of the six chief dukes who serve Menadiel, a wandering prince of the air. His position within this court gives him considerable authority, and the text places three hundred and ninety lesser spirits beneath his command.

Chamor’s identity is closely tied to the demon Baruch, who is described as his companion. Their relationship is expressed through the timing of their manifestations. Chamor belongs to the fifth planetary hour of the day, while Baruch follows immediately afterwards and appears during the sixth. This creates a deliberate succession in which one spirit gives way to the next according to the magical ordering of time.

The Ars Theurgia treats such timing as an essential part of the spirit hierarchy. Chamor is not presented as a demon who may appear whenever summoned, because his accessibility is governed by the hour assigned to him. His connection with Baruch reinforces that structure, since their appearances form part of the same sequence rather than two unrelated manifestations.

This relationship also gives Chamor a distinctive place within Menadiel’s wandering court. Although Menadiel and his spirits move through the aerial regions, the order beneath him remains precise. Chamor’s authority is therefore mobile in one sense, yet tightly regulated in another, because his movement through the invisible world does not free him from the temporal laws that define his office.

The name Chamor also appears in the form Clamor, a variation that reflects the instability found in many old magical manuscripts. Spirit names were repeatedly copied across generations, and even a small alteration in spelling could create the impression of a separate entity when the text was actually preserving the same demon under a different form.

Chamor therefore illustrates one of the more interesting features of the Ars Theurgia. His importance does not come from an elaborate mythology or dramatic description, but from his position within a living hierarchy in which rank, companionship, and timing determine how the spirit is understood.

Chamor is exactly the kind of spirit that disappears when Demonology is reduced to a collection of famous names. His real significance only becomes visible when you understand Menadiel’s court and the planetary timing that governs the spirits beneath him.

The Demonology and Black Magick courses inside the Occult World Mystery School take you into that deeper structure, where obscure dukes such as Chamor stop being footnotes and become part of a much larger occult system.

There are thousands of spirits, gods, demons, magical systems, grimoires and forgotten traditions waiting beyond it, but none of them will reveal much if you only skim their names.

Stop studying Demonology from the surface. Enter the Occult World Mystery School and learn the hierarchies that give these spirits meaning. If Black Magick genuinely calls to you, then stop hovering at the doorway and go inside.
