Standard Set

The original Standard Set

The Standard Set is a tenuous name given to an otherwise untitled image which circulates among occult circles, purporting to be a collection of 90 demons and their sigils of summoning. In actuality, it's an eclectic collection of angels, demons, gods, spirits, and names with ambiguous origin. Most can be traced back to Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils. See Category:Spirits in the Standard Set for a category containing every spirit.

In Fiction

Most of the entities in the Standard Set were included in "Craftsmen and Chimeras" a tabletop RPG loosely based on DnD 4th edition.

Issues

{{#vardefine:gods|7}}{{#vardefine:angels|27}}{{#vardefine:demons|44}}{{#vardefine:ambig|4}}{{#vardefine:fake|9}}{{#vardefine:total|}} The Standard Set contains numerous issues which are difficult to explain as ignorance. Of the 90 spirits listed, {{#var:angels}} are angels, {{#var:demons}} are demons, {{#var:ambig}} are spirits which may be either an angel or demon, {{#var:gods}} are neither angel nor demon, and {{#var:fake}} either aren't spirits at all or have no recognizable origin. The titles given range from their actual titles to having nothing to do with their domain. Some of the sigils are entirely fabricated or unnecessarily simplified, nearly 1/3 have an undocumented corruption of the canonical name, and despite it seemingly being arranged in alphabetical order, several are misplaced.

The supposed {{#var:total}} spirits actually reference . Anael and Hanael refer to the same entity, while "Hasmodel & Hasmodai" are two entirely unrelated entities.

Falsely attributed sigils

• The sigil for Gamigin is actually for Glasya-Labolas, a goetic demon who doesn't appear in the list.
• The sigil for Jochmus is actually from the Alphabet of the Genii representing Jab.
• "Lesifuges" is given the sigil for Leraje, another goetic demon who doesn't appear.
• Many of the sigils appear to be completely made up.

Bottom symbols

The sigils at the bottom, said to be "of necessity" are randomly selected mostly from the Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils vaguely related to their intended effect. In order these symbols are:

In the box to the left:

• Reversed pentagram
• A sigil shown in Signs and Symbols Illustrated and Explained where it's stated to be an Egyptian symbol of "devil", though this statement is unsourced. It's possible that this is a sigil for Bes, as certain reliefs bearing his image show a strong resemblance.
• An ancient form of Samekh associated with The Devil by "Tarot of the Magicians: The Occult Symbols of the Major Arcana that Inspired Modern Tarot" by Oswald Wirth
• A symbol which may be a combination of symbols from "The Book of Signs" by Rudolf Koch, namely "descending salvation" () and "passive intellect" (). This particular combination makes no appearances in either book, and the symbol has four lines instead of three.

The "Great Circle of Summoning" is the circle of Lucifer from Grimoirium Verum

To the right:

• A reversed, highly personal occult sigil representing "holy deity" given in Boehme's graphic system from Theosophica revelata, das ist, Alle göttliche Schriften. It's constructed from a visual play with the German auge, 'eye' (AUge). The U is presented as a V, and stands for desire: 'It is all things, and yet a nothing, it beholdeth itself, and yet finds nothing but an A, which is the Eye'. This play between the V and its reversal A gives several sigils, all of which represent the Eternal Beginning and the Eternal End – 'Thus the Abyss sees in itself and findeth itself': See The Works of Jacob Behmen, the Teutonic Theosopher
• A slightly skewed reversed pentagram
  • "The sigil is most usually linked with the DEVIL, supposedly as a vestigial drawing of horns and goat-beard, is said by BLAVATSKY 1888 to be the esoteric sigil for Kali Yuga, the 'Dark Age', which according to certain esoteric circles began about 4,500 years ago. The sigil is 'the sign of human sorcery, with its two points (horns) turned heavenwards, a position every Occultist will recognize as one of the "left-handed", and used in Ceremonial Magic'."
  • BLAVATSKY 1888 - The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy by Helena P. Blavatsky, originator of Theosophy
• The shen ring, an Egyptian symbol of infinity, listed in the source from W. Shepherd's Glossary of Graphic Signs and Symbols (1971) as representing "myriad"
• A reversed sigil for alchemical "union" given by GEHEIME 1785:
• The circle of lucifer from Grimoirium Verum.

Transcription

The rest of this article serves as a transcription of this document, including links to each entity. Entries are also color coded by the type of entity, red for demon, blue for angel, purple for ambiguous/both, green for god or spirit, and uncolored for anything else, including no recognizable origin or a recognizable sigil/title that doesn't refer to any entity. Note that some spirits with no origin have been summoned regardless and may have information associated with them because of their existence in this list (e.g. Uphir, who had no origin but was summoned by a coven with very detailed results).
