Goetia - S. L. MacGregor Mathers (1904)
The Forty-sixth Spirit is called Bifrons, or Bifrous, or Bifrovs.
He is an Earl, and appeareth in the Form of a Monster; but after a
while, at the Command of the Exorcist, he putteth on the shape of
a Man. His Office is to make one knowing in Astrology, Geometry,
and other Arts and Sciences. He teacheth the Virtues of Precious
Stones and Woods. He changeth Dead Bodies, and putteth them in
another place; also he lighteth seeming Candles upon the Graves of
the Dead. He hath under his Command 6 Legions of Spirits. His Seal
is this, which he will own and submit unto, etc.

the image of a man, he maketh one woonderfull cunning in
astrologie, absolutelie declaring the mansions of the planets, he
dooth the like in geometrie, and other admesurements, he
perfectlie understandeth the strength and vertue of hearbs,
pretious stones, and woods, he changeth dead bodies from place to
place, he seemeth to light candles upon the sepulchres of the
dead, and hath under him six and twentie legions.
