For the next few days, I am going to discuss a collection of demons known as a whole as Kosmokrates, or Kosmokrators. The postings here will contain the names of the 36 demons that form the group, their powers and the way to dispel them. Below are the first six.
1) Ruax; Causes "the heads of men to be idle, and [he] pillage[s] their brows"; the words, 'Michael, imprison Ruax,' forces him to flee.
2) Barsafael; Causes "those who are subject to [his] hour to feel the pain of migraine"; 'Gabriel, imprison Barsafael,' sends him back where he came.
3) Arôtosael; Does "harm to eyes, and grievously injure[s] them"; 'Uriel, imprison Aratosael' causes him to retreat.
4) The fourth demon in the group is conspicuously missing from the horde. No explanation is given.
5) Iudal; Brings "about a block in the ears and deafness of hearing"; 'Uruel Iudal,' sends him away.
6) Sphendonaêl; Cause "tumours of the parotid gland, and inflammations of the tonsils, and tetanic recurvation"; 'Sabrael, imprison Sphendonaêl' vanquishes him.
