Teaching philosophy and bringing deceased souls to answer questions. [1]
Goetia 1904
Scot gives Murmur two trumpet-bearing ministers before his gryphon-mounted soldier. The Goetia keeps the ministers and trumpets without specifying their number, adds Murmus and Murmux as names, and retains the joint titles Duke and Earl. Both describe thirty legions and a former standing partly among Thrones and partly among Angels. [2][1]
Murmur teaches philosophy and brings deceased souls before the questioner to answer. Inquiry therefore involves both the spirit’s instruction and direct questioning of the dead. His ducal crown, mounted soldier’s form and heralding trumpets present this learning ceremonially: the announced arrival precedes the voices his office promises to summon. [2][1]
