'''Oberion''' (also ''Oberyon'', ''Oberycom'', and ''Ebrion'') is a spirit derived from the fairy ''Oberon'', who for a time appeared in [[grimoire]]s himself. In many of Oberion's appearances in grimoires, his counseling spirits are usually [[Storax]], Carmelyon, Caberyon, and Seberyon. Aside from his appearances in grimoires, the [[Geomancy|geomantic]] [[lot books|lot book]] ''[[The Royal Book of Fate]]'' gives the twenty-first figure to this spirit, and its corresponding icon is an open book. | '''Oberion''' (also ''Oberyon'', ''Oberycom'', and ''Ebrion'') is a spirit derived from the fairy ''Oberon'', who for a time appeared in [[grimoire]]s himself.

''The Book of Oberon'' describes him as simply "a king with a crown on his head." The ''Grimoire of Arthur Gauntlet'' describes him as coming "in the likeness of a Beautiful man like a Soldier personally in the air or in a glass." ''The Book of Magic, with Instructions for Invoking Spirits, etc.'' describes him the same as ''The Book of Oberon'', but provides us with two drawings. One of these depicts him as a sort of floating, turban-wearing spirit with what seems to be a cloak-like piece of clothing that parts in the middle and ends in three curly tips pointing in different directions. Above this is the other drawing which depicts him in a way that's more in line with the previous descriptions, that being the form of a king wearing a crown, but this particular drawing has him raising a sword in his right hand with his left resting on his belt in addition to this. | ''The Book of Oberon'' describes him as simply "a king with a crown on his head."

''The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century'' adopts and adapts the turban-wearing depiction, saying he "appears in great pomp and terror, generally in the form of a scaly monster, the face of a woman, and a royal crown upon his head." | ''The Astrologer of the Nineteenth Century'' adopts and adapts the turban-wearing depiction, saying he "appears in great pomp and terror, generally in the form of a scaly monster, the face of a woman, and a royal crown upon his head." | ||
