ENN: Caymen Vefa Leraje

From the Goetia:

“…showing himself in the likeness of an Archer clad in Green, and carrying a Bow and Quiver.”

“He causeth all great Battles and Contests; and maketh wounds to putrefy that are made with Arrows by Archers. This belongeth unto Sagittar.”

Rufus Opus: “Leraje is a spirit of warfare and battle. Specifically, he enflames the passions of those predisposed to dislike one another, and causes tension and stress to erupt into violence. While this is not the best course of action for resolving conflicts, there are times when it is necessary to provoke a confrontation in order to release pent up aggression that stands in the way of achieving resolution. He is also tasked with causing ‘wounds made by arrows to putrefy’. In modern times, there are fewer arrow wounds, but in arguments and debates, saying hurtful things is something we often do. This spirit is adept at making things we say hurt even more, so be careful if you are working with this spirit.”

Connolly states that you can seek the wisdom of Leraje to resolve conflicts and to get good counsel regarding relationships with difficult people. Jehannum also states that Leraje will help to recover lost people or items, teaches the art of astral projection, teach one how to handle all sorts of emergencies and natural disasters and to teach nature-based sorcery and necromancy.
