This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coords. This is a night cache. Use the fire tacks to guide you. One tack means you're on the right trail, two tacks mean to turn that direction, three tacks means you've reached the cache.

The Goetia Spirit Lerie, like so many others seen by the old magickians in years past, has changed his appearance for contemporary times. Instead of "shewing himselfe in the likeness of a galant (handsome) archer, carrieng a bowe and a quiver," as seen by Johann Wier over 500 years ago, Lerie now wears the pall of death.



Our contemporary sketch of this demon catches a side view of it, clearly showing half of a pale white skeletal mask and a single black eye staring at the ground. Instead of hunting garb, Lerie is dressed in a long green robe and a type of high-pitched green head ornament. Around his neck is a white decorative adornment with bells, like something a court jester might have worn.



Microorganisms swirl at Lerie's feet, giving us some clue as to why this demon is staring at the ground rather than at us. There is something important about the things he is looking at below him.
