They are alternately called [[demons]] and spirits, depending on the translation and the source of the text. | The '''Goetic demons''' are the 72 infernal spirits listed in the ''Ars Goetia'' section of the ''[[Lesser Key of Solomon]]''.

==Ranking== | |||
The demons are ranked according the the [[Hierarchy of Hell]] as Kings, Dukes, Princes, Marquises, Earls, Presidents, and a single Knight. Each demon is generally accorded a number, based on when the demon was summoned by [[King Solomon]] to be put to work building his temple. Although some versions of the ''Ars Goetia'' do not provide the origin story of the demons, all versions do follow the same basic numbering system. Some versions alter the ranking of each demon, but generally, they are consistent across all versions. | The demons are ranked according the the [[Hierarchy of Hell]] as Kings, Dukes, Princes, Marquises, Earls, Presidents, and a single Knight.
