RONOVE (27)
Ronove (also known as Roneve or Ronobe) is a Fallen Angel and the 27th of the 72 Spirits of Solomon, as recorded in the Solomonic grimoires and later demonological traditions. He holds the rank of earl and marquis within the infernal hierarchy and is described as appearing in a monstrous form, reflecting his liminal nature as a spirit of intellect and persuasion.
Ronove is especially associated with rhetoric, eloquence, and the liberal arts, granting knowledge, understanding of languages, and the ability to speak persuasively. In addition to intellectual gifts, he is said to bestow favour and goodwill, influencing both friends and enemies and aiding in diplomacy, reputation, and social harmony.
He commands nineteen legions of demons, indicating authority structured through order rather than chaos. Within esoteric interpretation, Ronove is often viewed as an archetypal embodiment of communicative power—the capacity of words, learning, and understanding to shape relationships and influence the world.
From “The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King” (1904) Written by S.L. MacGregor Mathers
The Twenty-seventh Spirit is Ronove. He appeareth in the Form of a Monster. He teacheth the Art of Rhetoric very well and giveth Good Servants, Knowledge of Tongues, and Favours with Friends or Foes. He is a Marquis and Great Earl; and there be under his command 19 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, etc.
