Shax
Shax (also spelled Chax, Shan, Shass, Shaz, and Scox) is the 44th Goetic demon and a Great Marquis of Hell, with power over 30 legions of demons on evil horses. He should not be bothered too often. He is ruled over by the Kabbalistic angel Ielahiah.
General description
Shax is depicted as a stork that speaks with a hoarse but subtle voice; his voice changes into a beautiful one once he enters the magic triangle.
Abilities
Shax takes away the sight, hearing and understanding of any person under the conjurer's request, and steals money out of kings' houses, carrying it back to the people. He also steals horses and everything the conjurer asks. Shax can also discover hidden things if they are not kept by evil spirits, and sometimes gives good familiars, but sometimes those familiars deceive the conjurer. Shax knows when lies are told and uses these to teach lessons.
Shax is thought to be faithful and obedient, but is a great liar and will deceive the magician unless obliged to enter a magic triangle drawn on the floor. He will then speak marvellously and tell the truth.
Astrology
Astrologically, this spirit signifies war and violence. It is a servant demon to those born October 21 - 25.
