In demonology, Halphas (listed in Skinner & Rankine's edition as Malthas, [1] [2] and in the Crowley/ Mathers edition as Halphas, Malthus, or Malphas) [1] is the thirty-eighth demon in the Ars Goetia in the Lesser Key of Solomon [1] [2] (forty-third in Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum), [3] ranked as an earl.
Most manuscripts describe Halphas as a hoarse-voiced stock dove [1] [2] (though Weyer and Collin de Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal describe him as a stork), [3] [4] who supplies weapons and ammunition [1] [2] [3] [4] for towers [1] [2] (Weyer and de Plancy have "towns" or "villes" instead), [3] [4] sends men to war, and commands 26 legions of spirits. [1] [2] [3] [4]
According to Skinner & Rankine, Halphas is opposed by the Shemhamphorasch angel Haamiah. [5]
