ENN: Kaymen vefa Ronove

From the Goetia:
“He appeareth in the form of a Monster. He teacheth the Art of Rhetoric very well, and giveth Good Servants, Knowledge of Tongues, and Favours with Friends or Foes.”

Another name is Ronwe, and the mention of good servants in the Ars Goetia, is referring to good familiars.

Connolly states, “The demon of knowledge and wisdom in the Dukante Hierarchy.  Can also be invoked to cause people to see your way of thinking or feel the need to help you.” This does come with a warning, which is, “Be careful of invoking Ronove to control others, because it will often turn into a lesson for your benefit.”

We can ask Ronove to help us win favours with friends & foes, as the Goetia says. In other words, we can get people to see our own point of view or get them to help us in some way, don’t take advantage of that.  Don’t use it to forcibly control people because you will then get that lesson.

Jehannum mentions that Ronove will teach us languages, poetry and rhetoric and imparts wisdom.  Impart the quasi-sociopathic ability to control your own emotions.  His familiars are excellent for the purpose of research, magical tutoring, magical exercises & witchcraft.  Can bring about the destruction and death of the target, most often through illness & the affliction of the target’s internal organs. He specialises in pyrokinesis.  He harvests the souls of moribund elderly organisms (including people) and he can humble one’s enemies.

The Goetia Ritual says that this is where the monster aspect comes in, when it states, “While the Goetia provides no specifics as to his monstrous qualities, Ronove’s therioform (animal-like) would be chthonic and dark, manifesting nature’s untamed, chaotic and dire side, making him a demon who can give darkness and nightmares to others.” Some people, like Connolly, sway more towards knowledge and wisdom, and helping you to get other people to see your point of view, which isn’t bad or malicious. Other people go into the whole aspect of causing the death of the target through illness & affliction, targets the inner organs and things like that. You’ve got one camp which is more knowledge and help based, and then the other camp which is very much a killing your enemies kind of thing. This is one of those spirits that you will need to speak with and find out for yourself if that they can help you with the tasks you have in mind.
