He truly tells the past, the present, and the future; speaks of the divinity, of the creation, and of the fall; destroys and burns the magician's enemies; and protects him from the other spirits.
Provenance
Haures is the Goetic form of Weyer's Flauros, with variants Hauras and Havres in the manuscripts of the Lemegeton. The Ars Goetia preserves his character as a terrible duke and adds or strongly makes explicit the rule of compelling him into the Triangle to avoid deceit. Already attested in the Livre des Esperitz (15th c.) as «Flauos (f181v)».
The seal: printed edition and facsimile
Haures's main seal follows the printed Mathers–Crowley (1904) form; the Sloane MS 2731 manuscript facsimile is shown separately for comparison.
The main image and SVG/PNG downloads reproduce the printed form of S. L. MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley's 1904 edition, using the normal vector pack documented on Wikimedia Commons (public domain/CC0). The Sloane MS 2731 facsimile remains separate for comparing manuscript variants; it is not used as the main image.
The FULL manuscript facsimile («Lemegeton, Clavicula Salomonis», Sloane MS 2731) is in our library; the original is held at the British Library (Sloane MS 2731).

How it is summoned
In antiquity
In addition to the common procedure, the source preserves: a specific ritual prescription, a control caution.
Ancient operation: common procedure plus the documented detail in this entry.
- Draw the exorcist's Circle and the Triangle of manifestation, and wear the seal of Haures or Flauros as a lamen according to the Goetic procedure.
- Recite the general conjurations of the Ars Goetia and call Haures by his traditional variants, ordering him to appear in the Triangle.
- Insist expressly that he be commanded into the Triangle: the Ars Goetia warns that, if he is not compelled to enter it, he will lie and deceive the exorcist.
- Once contained, question him concerning past, present, future, creation, divinity, or the fall of spirits, domains the text attributes to him as true answers.
- Maintain the authority of the Circle throughout the operation, even if he is asked for protection against temptations of other spirits or for the destruction of enemies.
- Give the license to depart, ordering him to withdraw without deceit, harm, or disturbance to the operator, the assistants, or the place.
Source: Ars Goetia (17th c.); already in Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, 1577, as Flauros
The common Goetic operation also adds, when needed: to constrain a resisting spirit (Wellcome MS 110, c74–c78), to show it the Pentacle of Solomon once manifested (Ars Theurgia-Goetia), to work in its planetary hour and day (by rank), and finally to give it licence to depart —and never before (Wellcome MS 110, c53). Practise the full rite at The Practitioner's Table.
What is the “chain of spirits”?
Modern · not ancient
- Print or draw its seal and place it before you on a clean surface.
- Light a candle and, if you wish, some incense; still your mind and set your intention.
- Intone its enn softly and repeatedly, eyes on the seal, until you feel a shift in the air.
- State your request clearly and respectfully, not as a command.
- Give thanks, let the candle burn down a little and close; modern practice is devotional, with no coercive conjuration.
Enn (modern chant): «Ganic tasa fubin Haures»
Source: Enn of modern demonolatry (lists circulated by S. Connolly and Valerie Corban; tradition collected in The Complete Book of Demonolatry, 2006)
It also circulates as 'Ganic tasa fubin Flauros' or 'Flereous'; those forms belong to modern demonolatry and not to the Ars Goetia.
Modern experiences (personal gnosis)
In modern demonolatry, particularly according to S. Connolly, practitioners describe Haures (or Flauros) as an intensely fiery and fierce presence, frequently invoked to burn away obstacles, destroy harmful attachments, and seek justice. He is perceived as a relentless protector who unmasks deceit, and is thus commonly worked with to guard against magical attacks or hostile spirits, maintaining a severe yet balancing temperament.
Personal gnosis (UPG): how contemporary practitioners say they experience it. This is subjective experience, not a historical source or doctrine; it does not come from the ancient grimoires and may not be real.
