10. Buer - Goetia Spirit of Healing, Wisdom and Mental Clarity
The tenth spirit described in the Ars Goetia is Buer, a Governor known for his connection to healing, philosophy, and restoring balance in both body and mind.
At first, his description feels unusual.
A centaur… or a lion-headed being with multiple legs moving in all directions.
But that strange form actually reflects something important.
Adaptability and movement through complex systems.
Who is Buer?
Buer is traditionally associated with knowledge and healing.
He is known to:
teach moral and natural philosophy;
explain properties of herbs and plants;
heal physical and emotional conditions;
provide clarity in thinking and decision-making;
guide understanding through experience rather than direct answers;
He governs 50 legions of spirits and is often described as calm, structured, and focused.
The Nature of His Influence
Buer does not act quickly.
He restores.
His current tends to work through:
organizing scattered thoughts;
reducing internal tension;
bringing clarity to complex situations;
supporting gradual healing and recovery;
It’s not dramatic.
More like something settles… into order.
Healing Through Understanding
Unlike more forceful healing currents, Buer focuses on process.
You begin to understand:
what caused imbalance;
how it developed;
what needs to change;
And from there, restoration becomes possible.
Some people notice mental clarity first.
Others feel emotional balance returning.
Sometimes both.
A Practical Observation
At first, nothing seems to happen.
Then small shifts appear.
Thinking becomes clearer.
Stress feels more manageable.
Decisions are easier to make.
And over time… stability builds.
Knowledge and Discipline
There is also a noticeable aspect of discipline in Buer’s current.
Some traditions mention that he does not respond well to chaotic states - especially when the mind is clouded.
Which suggests something simple.
Clarity requires structure.
When Do People Work With Buer?
In modern practice, Buer is often approached when:
healing or recovery is needed
thoughts feel scattered or unclear
emotional balance has been disrupted
deeper understanding of personal condition is required
guidance is needed for long-term stability
It’s not about instant change.
It’s about restoring what was lost.
