Malgaras

Malgaras: King of the Western Dominion

Malgaras is a demon named among the thirty-one Aerial Spirits of Solomon. In the Ars Theurgia, he appears as the ninth spirit in order, yet he holds a position of great authority as the first spirit beneath Amenadiel, the infernal Emperor of the West. Because of this, Malgaras rules as king in the Dominion of the West.

His name is sometimes rendered as Maigaras, and he is also named in the Steganographia of Johannes Trithemius, a work dating to approximately 1499. Within the grimoire tradition, Malgaras belongs to a highly structured hierarchy of spirits connected with direction, time, rank, and command.

Malgaras is said to have thirty dukes serving him by day and another thirty dukes serving him by night, with many lesser spirits serving beneath them. The text gives particular attention to twelve of his major daytime dukes and twelve of his major nighttime dukes.

The twelve major servants of Malgaras by day are:

Camiel
Meliel
Borasy
Agor
Casiet
Rabiel
Cabiel
Udiel
Opriel
Masiel
Barfas
Arois

The twelve major dukes of Malgaras by night are:

Aros
Doiel
Cubi
Liblel
Raboc
Aspeil
Caron
Zamor
Amiel
Aspara
Deilas
Basiel

Each of these spirits is said to have thirty servants attending them, except for Misiel, Barfas, Aspar, and Deilas, who have only twenty servants, and Arois and Basiel, who have only ten.

According to the tradition, these spirits are described as courteous and willing to appear in order to carry out the magician’s will. They are said to appear two at a time with their servants. The spirits belonging to the day are to be called during the day, while those belonging to the night are to be called during the night.

This careful division between daytime and nighttime spirits shows the ordered nature of the Ars Theurgia. Malgaras is not presented as a wandering or chaotic spirit, but as a ruler within a precise spiritual geography. His dominion is the West, his hierarchy is divided according to time, and his dukes operate within a structured system of authority.

For students of demonology and grimoire magic, Malgaras is especially important because he reveals how complex the older Solomonic systems truly are. The world of the grimoires is not limited to the better-known spirits of the Goetia. It also contains vast aerial hierarchies, directional rulers, subordinate dukes, seals, servants, and ritual instructions that reflect an entire hidden architecture of spirit power.
