Chenor, the Granter of Wishes

Chenor appears within a hierarchy of forty-five demons who are also referred to as the “Standard Set” within certain accounts. More specifically, Chenor’s sigil appears as the twenty-fourth within this hierarchy. It’s important to note that the standard set hierarchy is a fusion of multiple styles of demons, and some authors describe him as one of the amulet angels, a guardian of the West.

To help you with your research, we will share the popular image of the original standard set at the end of this article.

He is a rather obscure demon of whom not much is known except that when he is summoned, he is invisible and the conjuror only experiences an energetic presence. He is said to initially begin by mocking the medium and this is where mental fortitude is most required.

Chenor is described as the “Demon of Manifest Desires” or the “Granter of Wishes” within most texts. He can also grant fortune, fame, and success as per the medium’s request. He can also be called forth for more lustful purposes. The demon is capable of seeing the true desires of any human and can therefore either grant a wish expressly or deny it outright. The demon’s true nature is malevolent as he is described as being selfish. One must therefore be prepared to face the repercussions of getting their exact wishes or desires.

History

Not much is known regarding Chenor as his sigil appears within the lowest left corner of the Standard Set. This is consistent with there being no credible knowledge regarding the origins of the sigils depicted within this hierarchy.

There are no correlations between this demon and old Graeco-Roman mythologies or ancient Middle Eastern textual accounts.

Like the other demons however, it is plausible that he was an older pagan god who was demonized with the spread of Christianity across the Middle Ages.

Since not much is known regarding this demon, it is advisable that only the most experienced of conjurors attempt to summon him – this is all the more noteworthy considering that the demon’s true nature is that of selfishness thus implying malevolence. It is therefore advisable to show him the most respect in order to minimize the likelihood of malevolence, punitive or otherwise. In so doing, it is also possible to increase the chance of a desirable outcome when dealing with Chenor.

Appearance

As previously stated, this demon manifests as an invisible but energetic presence which can be felt by the conjuror. One of the telling signs of his manifestation is that he begins by mocking the conjuror whereupon the conjurur must tighten their mental resolve.

Other sources say he appears as a dragon “with a virgin’s head”.

Attributes of Chenor

• Chenor is a very obscure demon and has thus been linked to demons within other orders such as Naberius – the twenty-fourth Goetia demon – although they are evidently dissimilar.
• The similarity between his sigil and that of Buer – the tenth Goetia demon – although these are also entirely different entities. The sigils are both based on an “L” shape which is dissected by lines at various points.
• He has also been likened to Chamor who is a member of the six servitor dukes of the wandering air prince Menadiel. Chamor appears during the fifth hour of the day and is followed by his partner Baruch within the next hour. He is therefore unlikely to be the same entity.
• Chenor is decidedly selfish and capable of seeing through the human essence. By seeing one’s true desires and motives, he is able to grant wishes in a deceitful manner if one chooses to withhold relevant information from him during rituals.
