From the Goetia:

“”He appeareth like a great Bull with a Man’s face. His office is to make Men very knowing in Astronomy, and all other Liberal Sciences; also he can give good Familiars, and wise, knowing the virtues of Herbs and Stones which be precious.”

Connolly has some different correspondences to the above mentioned ones. Colour is orange, incense is storax,  planet is mercury and element is Earth.

Connolly also goes on to say, can come off a bit strong, like the too serious professor who doesn’t tolerate the lazy student so be disciplined when seeking his wisdom, influence or guidance. A good Daemon to invoke before exams or during study to retain more information. His keyword is discipline. So bear that in mind if you want to work with Marax. You have to be disciplined and a lot of us battle with that. I do so myself.

The Goetia Ritual says that the bull indicates a masculine principle in nature. It’s a solar generative force, but also the earth and the human power of nature are therefore of feminine force. That signifies the taming of tellurian forces. If you’re not sure what tellurian is, it’s of or inhabiting the earth. The bull can also convey a positive image as guardian, who protects the portal entrance from one astral plane to another, and it also mentions that Marax draws back the curtain of darkness to cast a long light, making darkness visible and shattering the chains of ignorance.

As mentioned, just be aware that Marax does like discipline. So if you are going to work with Marax for retaining knowledge, or to call on before exams or things like that, any kind of study really, just make sure you are disciplined in your approach and your actions and don’t slack off.
