'''[[Lucifuge Rofocale]]''' according to ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'', is the [[demon]] in charge of Hell's government and treasury by order of [[Lucifer]].
A significant development in '''[[clairvoyance]]''' research came in the 1930s, when J. B. Rhine, a parapsychologist at Duke University, introduced a standard methodology, with a standard statistical approach to analyzing data, as part of his research into extrasensory perception. A number of psychological departments attempted to repeat Rhine's experiments, with failure. W. S. Cox from Princeton University with 132 subjects produced 25,064 trials in a playing card ESP experiment. Cox concluded, "There is no evidence of extrasensory perception either in the 'average man' or of the group investigated or in any particular individual of that group. The discrepancy between these results and those obtained by Rhine is due either to uncontrollable factors in experimental procedure or to the difference in the subjects."


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.

A number of psychological departments attempted to repeat Rhine's experiments, with failure. W. S.
