The Goetic demon Vine as depicted in the Occult Tarot and The Demon-Possessed Tarot.

Vine is a Goetic demon listed in demonological grimoires such the Lesser Key of Solomon, where he is demon number 45.

General description

Different texts rank Vine as either a king and an earl in the Hierarchy of Hell, describing him as a lion riding a black horse and carrying a viper.

Vine may be derived from or otherwise connected to the spirit "Royne" in the Liber Officiorum Spirituum, who is described only as an earl appearing like a lion-faced soldier (still riding a black horse and carrying a snake). Royne is given the power to build not only towers but houses, and can only answer questions on treasures or secrets but also has love magic, the ability to destroy enemies and consecrate objects (books especially).

Vine is opposed by the Kabbalistic angel Sealiah.

Abilities

They ascribe to him the power to build towers, destroy walls, disturb seas, and furthermore answer questions on secrets, witches, and events past, present, and future.

This spirit is a servant demon to those born October 26 - 30.
