Purson

"Curson" redirects here. For other uses, see Curson (disambiguation).

Not to be confused with Corson (demon).

Purson's image in Mathers' The Goetia corresponds to Pruflas' illustration from the Dictionnaire Infernal.

In demonology, Purson is a Great King of Hell, being served and obeyed by twenty-two legions of demons. He knows of hidden things, can find treasures, and tells past, present, and future. Taking a human or aerial body he answers truly of all secret and divine things of Earth and the creation of the world. He also brings good familiars.

Purson is depicted as a man with the face of a lion, carrying a ferocious viper in his hand, and riding a bear. Before him there can be heard many trumpets sounding.

Other spellings: Curson, Pursan.
