-'''[[Satan]]''', also known as [[The Devil]] is an entity in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In [[Judaism]], Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the'' yetzer hara'', or "evil inclination." In [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], he is usually seen as a fallen angel that has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of [[demon]]s.
+'''[[Oriens]]''' is a [[demon]] mentioned in many [[grimoire]]s dealing with [[ritual magic]]. He is most frequently named alongside [[Paimon]], [[Egyn]], and [[Amaymon]] as kings of the cardinal directions. He is the king of the east. He appears with a fair and feminine countenance wearing a crown upon his head. He rides upon an elephant with a large number of musical instruments. Sometimes, he appears in the shape of a horse (with multiple heads, variously stated as 100 or five), but once he has been constrained by an invocation, he will take a human shape.
-In the [[hierarchy of Hell]], Satan is the demon prince of the Deluders, the 5th degree of diabolical spirits. In this context, he is connected [[astrology|astrologically]] with the planet [[Mars]]. The original Hebrew term ''śāṭān'' (Hebrew: שָׂטָן‎) is a generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary", which is used throughout the [[Bible]] to refer to ordinary human adversaries, as well as a specific supernatural entity. The word is derived from a verb meaning primarily "to obstruct, oppose".
+Many abilities are attributed to Oriens such as giving the [[magician]] wealth in the form of silver and gold, answering questions about the past, present, and future, giving [[divination|divinatory]] visions, the power to fly, providing [[familiar]]s. He also has powers of [[necromancy]] and is able to revive the dead.
