Also recorded as Crokel
Crocell makes rushing water heard where no water is present. The angel-shaped duke also warms water, discovers baths and teaches geometry, speaking mysteriously of hidden things. [1]
Goetia 1904
Crocell appears as an angel and speaks mystically of hidden things. He teaches geometry and the liberal sciences. At the exorcist’s command he produces great noises like the rushing of many waters, although no water is there. Warming waters and discovering baths are separately assigned to him. [1]
He governs forty-eight legions and says he belonged to the Potentates or Powers before his fall. The Goetia identifies Solomon as the listener to that declaration. [1]
Scot calls the spirit Procell and describes him as disturbing baths at times appointed by the exorcist. The later text has discovering baths. [1][2]
