Ornias, A Vampiric Demon Controlled by King Solomon

 

Accounts of the Ornias can be found in the Testament of Solomon. You can read the stories in Christian literature and the ancient lore of Hebrew.  It depicts how Solomon was able to construct his temple by controlling the demons with the help of an enigmatic ring that was given to him by Michael the Archangel.  Ornias can shapeshift and steal the spirit of its victim.  According to what is written, it is a fallen angel that dwells in the Aquarius constellation.  The demon often kills an Aquarian man by strangling him since he believes that these men do not have a passion for those women born in the Virgo sign.  He would change into a man who likes boys and inflict pain on those men. He would then transform into a lion with wings.

 

The Legend of Ornias

 

It is said that when the Ornias appeared to attack a young boy and sucked his life, Solomon went straight to the temple to pray for the gods.  Michael the Archangel showed up and granted him a magical ring that could control the demon.  Solomon lent the ring to a lad and told him to throw it to the Ornias once it appeared to him.  The boy did as he was ordered to do.  The Ornias showed up, and the boy threw the ring on him.  The Ornias who was hit by the ring shrieked in pain.  He then promised the young boy all the wealth on the Earth if he would take the ring away. However, the boy didn’t listen to the vampiric demon and took him to Solomon.

 

The Capture of Ornias

 

Solomon decided to question the Ornias. The creature said that he brought the gift of prophecy to Solomon.  The beast claimed that demons fly to heaven from time to time to listen to their plans and eavesdrop.  When their wings grow tired and weary, they drop to the Earth like a falling star.

 

 

Solomon then commands this Ornias to take the ring and place a similar stamp to Beelzebub, the prince of the demon.  The demon managed to put the seal on Beelzebub, and Solomon was able to control the whole demon to build his temple.  Beelzebub also revealed that he was the former highest-ranking angel of heaven.
