ENN: On ca Vepar agna

From the Goetia:
“…appeareth like a Mermaid. His office is to govern the Waters, and to guide Ships laden with Arms, Armour, and Ammunition, etc., thereon. And at the request of the Exorcist he can cause the seas to be right stormy and to appear full of ships. Also he maketh men to die in Three Days by Putrefying Wounds or Sores, and causing Worms to breed in them.”

Vepar is usually considered to be a rather violent spirit who is great to call on when you need to do some serious execration magics.

Connolly says, excellent demon to invoke if you want to explore your emotions or behaviours prior to making a change. Good for cursing toxic emotions as well. The Goetia Ritual goes into the symbolism of the mermaid as being a composite creature, being a symbol for life giving and life destroying. Separating and uniting Elemental powers. A source of ambivalent potentialities for both nourishing and fertilizing life, but also for seducing, decaying and life taking. Regarding the office to govern waters, this relates to revealing their memories and dreams of time.
