'''[[Lucifuge Rofocale]]''' according to ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'', is the [[demon]] in charge of Hell's government and treasury by order of [[Lucifer]].
The '''[[Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu]]''' (also known as the '''Stele of Revealing''') is a painted, wooden offering stele located in Cairo, Egypt. The designation of this object as the "Stele of Revealing" was given in April 1904 by the [[occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]], in connection with his ''[[The Book of the Law]]''. According to Crowley, his wife Rose had already reported a revelation from the god [[Horus]], through his messenger [[Aiwass]]. The couple went to the newly opened Egyptian Museum (where the stela had been moved), to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose recognized an image of the god on this painted stele, which at the time bore the catalogue number [[666]], a number holding religious significance in [[Thelema]].


The name "Lucifugus" comes from two Latin words: ''lux ''("light"; genitive ''lucis''), and ''fugio'' ("to flee"), which means "[he who] flees the light". "Rofocal" is possibly an anagram of "[[Focalor]]", the name of a [[Goetic demon]]. In some modern [[left-hand path]] belief systems, the demon Lucifuge is said to be the ruler of the qliphoth Satariel. This belief originally comes from a claimed translation of an ancient Hebrew manuscript made by [[Eliphas Levi]] and has since then gained acceptance.


Lucifuge Rofocale is featured in the [[Occult Tarot]] by [[Travis McHenry]]. The demon is the [[Ace of Pentacles]] card.
