How it appears
A handsome man upon a winged horse.
What you ask of it
He goes and returns from any place in the world in an instant; brings abundance of everything; discovers thefts and hidden treasures. Of good or indifferent nature.
Provenance
Seere does not appear in Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum or in Scot; he is one of the additions of the Ars Goetia to the catalogue of 69 spirits. In the manuscript tradition used by the Goetia he is related to proto-Lemegeton-type materials, and the entry places him under Amaymon, king of the East.
Not found in Weyer's Pseudomonarchia (1577): a late addition, entering with the Lemegeton.
The seal: printed edition and facsimile
Seere'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: an office or appearance, not a separate rite.
The source preserves the common procedure; the office or appearance below is not a separate rite.
- Prepare the Circle, the Triangle of Art, and the seal of Seere as a lamen, following the common framework of the Ars Goetia.
- Invoke by means of the Goetic conjurations and name Seere as a mighty prince under Amaymon, king of the East, without adding an unrecorded hour or offering.
- Command him to appear in the Triangle in the form described by the source: a beautiful man mounted on a strong horse with wings.
- Ask only for the operations attributed in the Ars Goetia: to go and come swiftly, to bring or carry things, and to report thefts and hidden treasures.
- Maintain the authority of the rite by the divine names and by the general rule of the kings of the four quarters, remembering that the source places him under Amaymon.
- Conclude with the license to depart, ordering him to withdraw without injury and that there be peace between the operator and the spirit.
Source: Ars Goetia (17th c.); not in Weyer or Scot; the manuscript note links him to Sloane 3824
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): «Jeden et Renich Seere tu tasa»
Source: Enn of modern demonolatry, circulated in lists derived from S. Connolly and Valerie Corban; it does not belong to the tradition of Weyer
Modern practice commonly presents him as affable and swift, drawing on his Goetic office, but the chant itself is modern.
Modern experiences (personal gnosis)
Contemporary practitioners, as documented by S. Connolly in "The Daemonolatry Goetia" (2010), perceive Seere as an extremely benevolent, approachable, and swift-acting spirit. He is often sought to accelerate stalled processes, manifest rapid transformations, or resolve urgent material needs; those who work with him describe his presence as a dynamic and uplifting energy that gladly assists without demanding complex rituals.
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.
