Seal of Semakiel

Semakiel also spelled Samqiel is the demon ruler of the zodiac sign of Capricorn.

It is one of the Archdemons of the Zodiac.

Name and abilities

The name in Hebrew may be translated as the "Poison of God," although the name is of Persian origin.

This demon rules over events while the Sun is in the sign of Capricorn. Its office is to inspire revenge and carry out vengeance against enemies.

Although considered a "demon," the spirit is more properly called a genii and governs the descending aspect of Capricorn. Semakiel is opposed by Hanael, the Archangel of the Zodiac who rules the ascending aspect of Capricorn.
