Oriens is a demon mentioned in many grimoires 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.
Many abilities are attributed to Oriens such as giving the magician wealth in the form of silver and gold.
