The Brass VesselThe Seventy-Two Spirits · 22
Ipos gives wit and boldness beneath an appearance assembled from angel, lion, goose and hare. His 1904 knowledge embraces past, present and future, under the paired titles of earl and prince. [1]
Goetia 1904
The Goetia gives Ipos an angel’s form with a lion’s head, a goose’s foot and a hare’s tail. His gifts are to make people witty and bold and to know things past, present and to come. Both earl and mighty prince, he commands thirty-six legions. [1]
Scot also names Ayporos. His appearance has goose’s feet in the plural, and the angelic figure is called obscure and filthy. He gives the same dual rank, thirty-six legions, wit and boldness, but lists past and future knowledge without the present included in the Goetia. [1][2]
