"Vassago" (Demon #3)

Prince Vassago. The Third Demon from the 'Ars Goetia'.

                                  "Vassago" (Demon #3)

The third spirit is a mighty prince, being the same nature as Agares/
My name in hell is 'Vassago', and my office is to declare
All things past and to come, and to discover the hid and the lost/
My spirit is of good nature, and to 26 legions I am the boss
Being charged with such prophecy, people often beg for an Oracle/
When the prophecy that is sought, is esoteric to most people
Nicknamed the Prince of prophecy, I am pre-historic like most evil/
Capable of changing form, though I appear as a dragon to most people
Walking on all four legs, I have huge green eyes and white fangs/
& to conjure me, use a black mirror, so the receivers reflection is blanked.

Although this poem is not very much my style, I like this work and I encourage him to continue to write, because we should not let the poetry that runs in our veins die. Keep going.

I must say I've been following your work on the different demons and I am impressed. I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment as I wish I could, a lot going on with me but your descriptions are amazing and really bring up some thought to differing beliefs. Kudos!

Wow, thank you ever so much for your great feedback, Tinky :)

Thank you, Shaquana :)

A very cool demon. I have read many books on myths. The demons will the controller of time and life. The "Prince of prophecy" were dangerous. Could lead people to bad endings. Thank you for the history lessons on demons.

Thank you, Psyche.

You contrary to popular belief most demons aren't evil. And most of the Goetic demons are human friendly. Though they still shouldn't be provoked. Most demons will actually assist you if you give them the respect they deserve

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Very true, my friend. Absolutely, I couldnt agree with you more ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

This is the first I read and I like it. As to form and style, seems good. I would only make a suggestion to possibly look at a font to match the theme, something gothic? perhaps?

Thank you, KL. It's funny you should suggest that, as that is what I am planning to do when publishing this series as a book.
