Also recorded as Alocas
Teaching astronomy and the liberal sciences, and providing good familiars. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot’s Allocer is a mounted soldier with a very red lion’s face, flaming eyes and a large voice. The Goetia gives Alloces or Alocas, retains the thirty-six legions, and makes the voice both hoarse and very big. Astronomy, the liberal sciences and good familiars continue across the two descriptions. [2][1]
The soldier’s red face, flaming eyes and forceful voice introduce a teacher of astronomy and the liberal sciences who also provides familiars. Other armed figures have learned offices: Furcas teaches reasoning and divination, while Murmur teaches philosophy and brings the dead to answer questions. Alloces’s celestial subjects distinguish his instruction within that company of martial teachers. [2][1][3][4]
