How to summon Ronove

Introduction

Ronove (also spelled Ronwe) is the 27th spirit in the Ars Goetia, part of the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon. Described as a Marquis of Hell, Ronove appears first as a monstrous form, later taking a more humanoid shape when summoned.

He commands 19 legions of spirits and is associated with the planet Mars, symbolizing energy, willpower, and persuasion. His domains include rhetoric, language, and logic, as well as revealing hidden knowledge and treasures. Practitioners have long viewed him as a demon of eloquence, influence, and favor.

Origins and Symbolism

Ronove appears in several grimoires, including the Ars Goetia and Johann Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (1577). Both sources depict him as a courteous but commanding spirit who imparts the art of speech and reasoning.

His Martian nature links him to leadership, charisma, and assertiveness. In occult symbolism, Mars governs strength and mastery through disciplined action. Ronove embodies this aspect — intelligence applied with precision and power.

His sigil, a stylized cross entwined with horns and curves, serves as his spiritual key. It appears in the Lesser Key of Solomon and must be drawn accurately for ritual success.

Traditional Summoning Ritual

The Ars Goetia prescribes a ceremonial process of evocation that blends spirituality, astrology, and ancient magic. The following is an adapted summary for study, not practice.

Preparation

  • Purification and Fasting:
    Abstain from meat, alcohol, and sexual activity for 3–9 days. Bathe ritually and dress in clean white linen robes.
  • Sacred Tools:
    • A magic circle about nine feet wide, drawn in chalk or flour.
    • A protective triangle outside the circle where Ronove manifests.
    • A black-handled knife (athame) or wand for tracing sigils.
    • Incense: Frankincense and myrrh.
    • Sigil of Ronove: Drawn on virgin parchment in red ink or symbolic blood.
    • Offerings: Sweet wine, honey, or a written pact stating your request.
  • Timing:
    Tuesday (the day of Mars) during a waxing moon, at midnight or dawn, is most effective.
  • Location:
    A quiet, isolated space such as a forest clearing or secluded room. Face east throughout the working.

Step 1: Casting the Circle

Trace the circle clockwise with the athame while invoking divine protection:

“By the power of the Most High, I consecrate this circle as a fortress against all evil.”

Call upon the four archangels — Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel — to guard each direction.

Step 2: The Invocation

Light incense and raise Ronove’s sigil. Begin with a general invocation:

“O thou spirits of wisdom, come forth in peace before this circle and hear my voice.”

Then recite the specific conjuration (traditionally spoken three times):

“I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Ronove, and being armed with power from the Supreme Majesty, I command thee by Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachia, and Apologiae Sedes… Appear before me now, visible and affable, in fair human form, and speak truthfully unto my demands. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Amen.”

State your purpose clearly, such as:

“Teach me eloquence and the mastery of tongues, Ronove.”

Step 3: Manifestation and Binding

If a presence is felt — by sound, voice, or vision — command it into the triangle:

“By the authority of these sacred names, enter the triangle and harm none.”

Offer wine or honey and present your request. Speak respectfully but firmly.

Step 4: Dismissal

Conclude with gratitude:

“Ronove, I thank thee for thy presence. Depart now in peace and return when called. By the power of the Most High, go in peace.”

Extinguish candles counterclockwise. Erase or bury the circle, then perform a banishing ritual (such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram) to clear residual energy.

Variations in Other Grimoires

  • Pseudomonarchia Daemonum:
    Describes Ronove as a provider of loyal servants and a teacher of languages. The conjuration should be spoken seven times in a commanding tone.
  • Modern Adaptations:
    Contemporary magicians often simplify the process. In Chaos Magic, one may meditate on Ronove’s sigil, chant his name rhythmically, or visualize his form during trance. Some employ digital tools or symbolic offerings rather than physical ritual circles.

Warnings and Considerations

The Goetia repeatedly warns that summoning spirits like Ronove requires discipline and humility. Arrogance or poor preparation invites psychic backlash.

Common signs of success include:

  • Sudden clarity in speech or thought.
  • Vivid dreams involving symbols, animals, or unfamiliar languages.
  • Coincidences relating to communication or leadership.

If the summoning fails or yields confusion, re-examine your intent. Misaligned motives or insincerity often repel cooperative spirits.

These rituals are best approached as historical or symbolic practices, not literal invocations. Mishandling can lead to psychological strain or obsession.

Conclusion

Ronove, the 27th demon of the Ars Goetia, personifies eloquence, persuasion, and intellect under infernal guise. As a Marquis of Hell, he governs knowledge of language and reason, offering insight to those who seek understanding through discipline and respect.

Whether viewed as a spirit, archetype, or symbol of inner mastery, Ronove’s essence endures — the voice that sharpens the mind, the tongue that commands respect, and the wisdom that reveals truth through speech.
