H. _Fra._ D.D.C.F., by the\norder of the _Secret Chief_ of the _Rosicrucian Order_.[1] The G. H.\n_Fra._, having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the _Four Great\nPrinces_ (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient\nthat the work should be brought to its conclusion by another hand. The\ninvestigation of a competent Skryer into the house of our unhappy\n_Fra._, confirmed this divination; neither our _Fra._ nor his _Hermetic\nMul._ were there seen; but only the terrible shapes of the evil _Adepts_\nS.V.A.[2] and H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by\nJustice, were no longer of use to them. On this we stayed no longer Our\nHand; but withdrawing Ourselves, and consulting the Rota, and the Books\nM. and Q. did decide to ask Mr. Aleister Crowley, a poet, and skilled\nstudent of _Magical Lore_, and an expert _Kabbalist_, to complete openly\nthat which had been begun in secret.[3] This is that which is written:\n\u201cHis Bishoprick let another take.\u201d And again: \u201c_Oculi Tetragammaton_.\u201d\nThis is also that which is said: \u201cNomen Secundum refertur ad _Gebhurah_;\nqui est _Rex Bittul_ atque Corruptio _Achurajim Patris et Matris_ hoc\nindigitatur.\u201d\n\nAnd so saying we wish you well.\n\n    _Ex Deo Nascimur._\n    _In Jesu Morimur._\n    _Per S.S. Reviviscimus._\n\nGiven forth from our Mountain of A., this day of C.C. 1903 A. D.\n\nFootnote 1:\n\n  _Mr. A. E. Waite_ writes (\u201c_Real History Of The Rosicrucians_,\u201d p.\n  426): \u201cI beg leave to warn my readers that all persons who proclaim\n  themselves to be _Rosicrucians_ are simply members of\n  pseudo-fraternities, and that there is that difference between their\n  assertion and the fact of the case in which the essence of a lie\n  consists!\u201d It is within the _Editor\u2019s_ personal knowledge that Mr.\n  Waite was (and still is probably) a member of a society claiming to be\n  the R.C. fraternity. As _Mr. Waite_ constantly hints in his writing\n  that he is in touch with initiated centres, I think the _syllogism_,\n  whose premises are given above, is fair, if not quite formal.\u2014ED.\n\nFootnote 2:\n\n  It was owing to our _Fra._ receiving this S.V.A. as his Superior, and\n  giving up the _Arcana_ of our _Fraternity_ into so unhallowed a power,\n  that We decided no longer to leave Our dignity and authority in the\n  hands of one who could be thus easily imposed upon. (For by a childish\n  and easy magical trick did S.V.A. persuade D.D.C.F. of that lie.)\n\nFootnote 3:\n\n  He that is appointed to complete in secret that which had been begun\n  openly is R.R., and to be heard of at the care of the Editor.\n\n\n\n\n                        PRELIMINARY INVOCATION.\n\n\n     _Thee I invoke, the Bornless one.\n     Thee, that didst create the Earth and the Heavens:\n     Thee, that didst create the Night and the Day.\n     Thee, that didst create the Darkness and the Light.\n     Thou art Osorronophris: Whom no man has seen at any time.\n     Thou art J\u00e4bas\n     Thou art J\u00e4p\u014ds:\n     Thou hast distinguished between the Just and the Unjust.\n     Thou didst make the Female and the Male.\n     Thou didst produce the Seed and the Fruit.\n     Thou didst form Men to love one another, and to hate one another._\n\n_I am Mosheh Thy Prophet, unto Whom Thou didst commit Thy Mysteries, the\nCeremonies of Ishrael:_\n\n_Thou didst produce the moist and the dry, and that which nourisheth all\ncreated Life._\n\n_Hear Thou Me, for I am the Angel of Paphr\u014d Osorronophris: this is Thy\nTrue Name, handed down to the Prophets of Ishrael._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_Hear Me:_\u2014\n\n_Ar: Thiao: Rheibet: Atheleberseth:_\n\n_A: Blatha: Abeu: Ebeu: Phi:_\n\n_Thitasoe: Ib: Thiao._\n\n_Hear Me, and make all Spirits subject unto Me: so that every Spirit of\nthe Firmament and of the Ether; upon the Earth and under the Earth: on\ndry Land and in the Water: of Whirling Air, and of rushing Fire: and\nevery Spell and Scourge of God may be obedient unto Me._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_I invoke Thee, the Terrible and Invisible God: Who dwellest in the Void\nPlace of the Spirit:_\u2014\n\n_Arogogorobra\u014d: Sothou:_\n\n_Modori\u014d: Phalartha\u014d: D\u00f6\u00f6: Ap\u00e9, The Bornless One:_\n\n_Hear Me: etc._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_Hear me:_\u2014\n\n_Roubria\u014d: Mari\u014ddam: Balbnabaoth: Assalonai: Aphnia\u014d: I: Thoteth:\nAbrasar: A\u00eb\u00f6\u014d\u00fc: Ischure, Mighty and Bornless One!_\n\n_Hear me: etc._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_I invoke thee:_\u2014\n\n                        _Ma: Barrai\u014d: J\u014d\u0113l: Kotha:_\n                        _Athor\u0113bal\u014d: Abraoth:_\n\n_Hear Me: etc._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n                     _Hear me!\n                     A\u014dth: Aba\u014dth: Basum: Isak:\n                     Sabaoth: Iao:_\n\n                     _This is the Lord of the Gods:\n                     This is the Lord of the Universe:\n                     This is He Whom the Winds fear._\n\n_This is He, Who having made Voice by His Commandment, is Lord of All\nThings; King, Ruler and Helper._\n\n_Hear Me, etc._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_Hear Me:_\u2014\n\n_Ieou: P\u016br: Iou: P\u016br: Ia\u014dt: Iae\u014d: Ioou: Abrasar: Sabriam: Do: Uu:\nAdonaie: Ede: Edu: Angelos ton Theon: Aniaia Lai: Gaia: Ape: Diathanna\nThorun._\n\n                  *       *       *       *       *\n\n_I am He! the Bornless Spirit! having sight in the feet: Strong, and the\nImmortal Fire!_\n\n_I am He! the Truth!_\n\n_I am He!

Truly,\nsince our childhood has ingrained into us not only literal belief in the\nBible, but also substantial belief in _Alf Laylah_ wa _Laylah_, and only\nadolescence can cure us, we are only too liable, in the rush and energy\nof dawning manhood, to overturn roughly and rashly both these classics,\nto regard them both on the same level, as interesting documents from the\nstandpoint of folk-lore and anthropology, and as nothing more.\n\nEven when we learn that the Bible, by a profound and minute study of the\ntext, may be forced to yield up _Qabalistic_ arcana of cosmic scope and\nimportance, we are too often slow to apply a similar restorative to the\ncompanion volume, even if we are the luck holders of Burton\u2019s veritable\nedition.\n\nTo me, then, it remains to raise the _Alf Laylah_ wa Laylah into its\nproper place once more.\n\nI am not concerned to deny the objective reality of all \u201c_magical_\u201d\nphenomena; if they are illusions, they are at least as real as many\nunquestioned facts of daily life; and, if we follow Herbert Spencer,\nthey are at least evidence of some cause.[4]\n\nNow, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of seeing a\nspirit in the triangle of Art?\n\nEvery smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: \u201cThat cause\nlies in your brain.\u201d\n\nEnglish children (_pace_ the Education Act) are taught that the Universe\nlies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the Akasa, which is the same\nthing.\n\nThose Europeans who go a little deeper learn from Fichte, that the\nphenomenal Universe is the creation of the Ego; Hindus, or Europeans\nstudying under Hindu Gurus, are told, that by Akasa is meant the\nChitakasa. The Chitakasa is situated in the \u201cThird Eye\u201d, _i.e._, in the\nbrain. By assuming higher dimensions of space, we can assimilate this\nfact to Realism; but we have no need to take so much trouble.\n\nThis being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions\nare dependent on changes in the brain,[5] we must include illusions,\nwhich are after all sense-impressions as much as \u201crealities\u201d are, in the\nclass of \u201cphenomena dependent on brain-changes.\u201d\n\nMagical phenomena, however, come under a special sub-class, since they\nare willed, and their cause is the series of \u201creal\u201d phenomena called the\noperations of ceremonial Magic.\n\nThese consist of\n\n    (1) Sight.\n\n    The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, implements,\n    etc.\n\n    (2) Sound.\n\n    The invocations.\n\n    (3) Smell.\n\n    The perfumes.\n\n    (4) Taste.\n\n    The Sacraments.\n\n    (5) Touch.\n\n    As under (1).\n\n    (6) Mind.\n\n    The combination of all these and reflection on their significance.\n\nThese unusual impressions (1-5) produce unusual brain-changes; hence\ntheir summary (6) is of unusual kind. Its projection back into the\napparently phenomenal world is therefore unusual.\n\nHerein then consists the reality of the operations and effects of\nceremonial magic,[6] and I conceive that the apology is ample, as far as\nthe \u201ceffects\u201d refer only to those phenomena which appear to the magician\nhimself, the appearance of the spirit, his conversation, possible shocks\nfrom imprudence, and so on, even to ecstasy on the one hand, and death\nor madness on the other.\n\nBut can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be\nobtained, and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the\ncircumstances? Say you so?\n\nI can, and will.\n\nThe spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain.\n\nTheir seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer\u2019s projected cube) methods\nof stimulating or regulating those particular spots (through the eye).\n\nThe names of God are vibrations calculated to establish:\n\n(_a_) General control of the brain. (Establishment of functions relative\nto the subtle world.)\n\n(_b_) Control over the brain in detail. (Rank or type of the Spirit.)\n\n(_c_) Control of one special portion. (Name of the Spirit.)\n\nThe perfumes aid this through smell. Usually the perfume will only tend\nto control a large area; but there is an attribution of perfumes to\nletters of the alphabet enabling one, by a Qabalistic formula, to spell\nout the Spirit\u2019s name.\n\nI need not enter into more particular discussion of these points; the\nintelligent reader can easily fill in what is lacking.\n\nIf, then, I say, with Solomon:\n\n\u201cThe Spirit Cimieries teaches logic,\u201d what I mean is:\n\n\u201cThose portions of my brain which subserve the logical faculty may be\nstimulated and developed by following out the processes called \u2018The\nInvocation of Cimieries.\u2019\u201d\n\nAnd this is a purely materialistic rational statement; it is independent\nof any objective hierarchy at all. Philosophy has nothing to say; and\nScience can only suspend judgment, pending a proper and methodical\ninvestigation of the facts alleged.\n\nUnfortunately, we cannot stop there. Solomon promises us that we can (1)\nobtain information; (2) destroy our enemies; (3) understand the voices\nof nature; (4) obtain treasure; (5) heal diseases, etc. I have taken\nthese five powers at random; considerations of space forbid me to\nexplain all.\n\n(1) Brings up facts from sub-consciousness.\n\n(2) Here we come to an interesting fact. It is curious to note the\ncontrast between the noble means and the apparently vile ends of magical\nrituals. The latter are disguises for sublime truths. \u201cTo destroy our\nenemies\u201d is to realize the illusion of duality, to excite compassion.\n\n(Ah! Mr. Waite, the world of Magic is a mirror, wherein who sees muck is\nmuck.)\n\n(3) A careful naturalist will understand much from the voices of the\nanimals he has studied long. Even a child knows the difference of a\ncat\u2019s miauling and purring. The faculty may be greatly developed.\n\n(4) Business capacity may be stimulated.\n\n(5) Abnormal states of the body may be corrected, and the involved\ntissues brought back to tone, in obedience to currents started from the\nbrain.\n\nSo for all other phenomena. There is no effect which is truly and\nnecessarily miraculous.\n\nOur Ceremonial Magic fines down, then, to a series of minute, though of\ncourse empirical, physiological experiments, and whoso will carry them\nthrough intelligently need not fear the result.\n\nI have all the health, and treasure, and logic, I need; I have no time\nto waste. \u201cThere is a lion in the way.\u201d For me these practices are\nuseless; but for the benefit of others less fortunate I give them to the\nworld, together with this explanation of, and apology for, them.\n\nI trust that the explanation will enable many students who have\nhitherto, by a puerile objectivity in their view of the question,\nobtained no results, to succeed; that the apology may impress upon our\nscornful men of science that the study of the bacillus should give place\nto that of the baculum, the little to the great\u2014how great one only\nrealizes when one identifies the wand with the Mahalingam, up which\nBrahma flew at the rate of 84,000 yojanas a second for 84,000\nmahakalpas, down which Vishnu flew at the rate of 84,000 croces of\nyojanas a second for 84,000 crores of mahakalpas\u2014yet neither reached an\nend.\n\nBut I reach an end.\n\n                             _Boleskine House,\n                             Foyers, N.B._\n\nFootnote 4:\n\n  This, incidentally, is perhaps the greatest argument we possess,\n  pushed to its extreme, against the Advaitist theories.\n\nFootnote 5:\n\n  Thought is a secretion of the brain (Weissmann). Consciousness is a\n  function of the brain (Huxley).\n\nFootnote 6:\n\n  Apart from its value in obtaining one-pointedness.\n\n\n\n\n                    PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF MAGIC.\n                LEMEGETON VEL CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS.\n\n\nMagic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of\nNatural Philosophy,[7] advanced in its works and wonderful operations by\na right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that\ntrue Agents[8] being applied to proper Patients,[9] strange and\nadmirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are\nprofound and diligent searchers into Nature; they, because of their\nskill, know how to anticipate an effort,[10] the which to the vulgar\nshall seem to be a miracle.\n\nOrigen saith that the Magical Art doth not contain anything subsisting,\nbut although it should, yet that it must not be Evil, or subject to\ncontempt or scorn; and doth distinguish the _Natural Magic_ from that\nwhich is _Diabolical_.\n\nApollonius Tyannaeus only exercised the _Natural Magic_, by the which he\ndid perform wonderful things.\n\nPhilo Hebraeus saith that true Magic, by which we do arrive at the\nunderstanding of the Secret Works of Nature, is so far from being\ncontemptible that the greatest Monarchs and Kings have studied it. Nay!\namong the Persians none might reign unless he was skilful in this GREAT\nART.\n\nThis Noble Science often degenerateth, from _Natural_ becometh\n_Diabolical_, and from _True Philosophy_ turneth unto _Nigromancy_.[11]\nThe which is wholly to be charged upon its followers, who, abusing or\nnot being capable of that High and Mystical Knowledge do immediately\nhearken unto the temptations of _Sathan_, and are misled by him into the\nStudy of the _Black Art_. Hence it is that Magic lieth under disgrace,\nand they who seek after it are vulgarly esteemed _Sorcerers_.\n\nThe Fraternity of the Rosie Crusians thought it not fit to style\nthemselves Magicians, but rather Philosophers. And they be not ignorant\nEmpiricks,[12] but learned and experienced Physicians, whose remedies be\nnot only _Lawful_ but _Divine_.\n\nFootnote 7:\n\n  This Preliminary Definition of Magic is found in very few Codices, and\n  is probably later than the body of the work.\n\nFootnote 8:\n\n  Or Actives.\n\nFootnote 9:\n\n  Or Passives.\n\nFootnote 10:\n\n  Or Effect.\n\nFootnote 11:\n\n  Or the Black Art, as distinct from mere Necromancy, or Divination by\n  the Dead.\n\nFootnote 12:\n\n  Or Quacks and Pretenders. Vide note on p. 10.\n\n\n\n\n                  THE BRIEF INTRODUCTORY DESCRIPTION.\n\n\n(N.B. This is taken from several MS. Codices, of which the four\nprincipal variations are here composed together in parallel columns as\nan example of the close agreement of the various texts of the Lemegeton.\n\nFor in the whole work the differences in the wording of the various\nCodices are not sufficient to require the constant giving of parallel\nreadings; but except in the more ancient examples there is much\ndeterioration in the Seals and Sigils, so that in this latter respect\nthe more recent exemplars are not entirely reliable.)\n\n\n                       CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS,\n\n\nwhich containeth all the Names, Offices, and Orders of all the Spirits\nthat ever he had converse with, with the Seals and Characters to each\nSpirit and the manner of calling them forth to visible appearance:\n\nIn 5 parts, viz.:\n\n(1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how\nhe bound up those Spirits, and used them in general things, whereby he\nobtained great fame.\n\n(2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Evil and partly Good,\nwhich is named THEURGIA-GOETIA, all A\u00ebrial Spirits, etc.\n\n(3) THE THIRD PART is of Spirits governing the Planetary Hours, and what\nSpirits belong to every degree, of the Signs, and Planets in the Signs.\nCalled the PAULINE ART, etc.\n\n(4) THE FOURTH PART of this Book is called ALMADEL or SOLOMON, which\ncontaineth those Spirits which govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360\nDegrees of the Zodiac.\n\nThese two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and to be sought for by\nDivine seeking, etc., and are called THEURGIA.\n\n(5) THE FIFTH PART is a Book of Orations and Prayers that Wise Solomon\nused upon the Altar in the Temple. The which is called ARS NOVA, which\nwas revealed unto Solomon by that Holy Angel of God called MICHAEL; and\nhe also received many brief Notes written with the Finger of God, which\nwere declared to him by the said Angel with Claps of Thunder; without\nwhich Notes King Solomon had never obtained his great knowledge, for by\nthem in a short time he knew all Arts and Sciences both Good and Bad;\nfrom these Notes it is called the NOTARY ART, etc.\n\n\n                   THE WHOLE LEMEGETON OR CLAVICULA.\n\n\nNow this Book containeth all the Names, Orders, and Offices of all the\nSpirits with which Solomon ever conversed, the Seals and Characters\nbelonging to each Spirit, and the manner of calling them forth to\nvisible appearance:\n\nDivided into 5 special Books or parts, viz.:\n\n(1) THE FIRST BOOK, or PART, which is a Book concerning Spirits of Evil,\nand which is termed THE GOETIA OF SOLOMON, sheweth forth his manner of\nbinding these Spirits for use in things divers. And hereby did he\nacquire great renown.\n\n(2) THE SECOND BOOK is one which treateth of Spirits mingled of Good and\nEvil Natures, the which is entitled THE THEURGIA-GOETIA, or the Magical\nWisdom of the Spirits A\u00ebrial, whereof some do abide, but certain do\nwander and abide not.\n\n(3) THE THIRD BOOK, called ARS PAULINA, or THE ART PAULINE, treateth of\nthe Spirits allotted unto every degree of the 360 Degrees of the Zodiac;\nand also of the Signs, and of the Planets in the Signs, as well as of\nthe Hours.\n\n(4) THE FOURTH BOOK, called ARS ALMADEL SALOMONIS, or THE ART ALMADEL OF\nSOLOMON, concerneth those Spirits which be set over the Quaternary of\nthe Altitudes.\n\nThese two last mentioned Books, the ART PAULINE and the ART ALMADEL, do\nrelate unto Good Spirits alone, whose knowledge is to be obtained\nthrough seeking unto the Divine. These two Books be also classed\ntogether under the Name of the First and Second Parts of the Book\nTHEURGIA OF SOLOMON.\n\n(5) THE FIFTH BOOK of the Lemegeton is one of Prayers and Orations. The\nwhich Solomon the Wise did use upon the Altar in the Temple. And the\ntitles hereof be ARS NOVA, the NEW ART, and ARS NOTARIA, the NOTARY ART.\nThe which was revealed to him by MICHAEL, that Holy Angel of God, in\nthunder and in lightning, and he further did receive by the aforesaid\nAngel certain Notes written by the Hand of God, without the which that\nGreat King had never attained unto his great Wisdom, for thus he knew\nall things and all Sciences and Arts whether Good or Evil.\n\n\n                       CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS,\n\n\nwhich containeth all the Names, Offices, and Orders of all the Spirits\nwith whom he ever held any converse; together with the Seals and\nCharacters proper unto each Spirit, and the method of calling them forth\nto visible appearance:\n\nIn 5 parts, viz.:\n\n(1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how\nhe bound up those Spirits and used them in things general and several,\nwhereby he obtained great fame.\n\n(2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Evil and partly Good,\nwhich is called THEURGIA-GOETIA, all A\u00ebrial Spirits, etc.\n\n(3) THE THIRD PART is of Spirits governing the Planetary Hours, and of\nwhat Spirits do belong to every Degree of the Signs, and of the Planets\nin the Signs. This is called the PAULINE ART, etc.\n\n(4) THE FOURTH PART of this Book is called ALMADEL OF SOLOMON, the which\ncontaineth those Spirits which do govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360\nDegrees of the Zodiac.\n\nThese two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and are called THEURGIA, and\nare to be sought for by Divine seeking, etc.\n\n(5) THE FIFTH PART is a Book of Orations and Prayers which Wise Solomon\ndid use upon the Altar in the Temple. The which is called ARS NOVA, the\nwhich was revealed to Solomon by that Holy Angel of God called Michael;\nand he also received many brief Notes written with the Finger of God,\nwhich were declared to him by the said Angel with Claps of Thunder;\nwithout which Notes King Solomon had never obtained his Great Wisdom,\nfor by them in short time he gained Knowledge of all Arts and Sciences\nboth Good and Bad; from these Notes it is called the NOTARY ART, etc.\n\n\n\n\n                       THE BOOK OF EVIL SPIRITS.\n\n\nThe Key of Solomon, which contains all the names, orders, and offices of\nall the Spirits that ever Solomon conversed with, together with the\nSeals and Characters belonging to each Spirit, and the manner of calling\nthem forth to visible appearance:\n\nIn 4 parts.\n\n(1) THE FIRST PART is a Book of Evil Spirits, called GOETIA, showing how\nhe bound up those Spirits and used them in several things, whereby he\nobtained great fame.\n\n(2) THE SECOND PART is a Book of Spirits, partly Good and partly Evil,\nwhich is named THEURGIA-GOETIA, all A\u00ebrial Spirits, etc.\n\n(3) THE THIRD PART is a Book governing the Planetary Houses, and what\nSpirits belong to every Degree of the Signs, and Planets in the Signs.\nCalled the Pauline Art.\n\n(4) THE FOURTH PART is a Book called the ALMADEL OF SOLOMON, which\ncontains Twenty Chief Spirits who govern the Four Altitudes, or the 360\nDegrees of the Zodiac.\n\nThese two last Orders of Spirits are Good, and called THEURGIA, and are\nto be sought after by Divine seeking.\n\nThese Most Sacred Mysteries were revealed unto Solomon.\n\nNow in this Book LEMEGETON is contained the whole Art of King Solomon.\nAnd although there be many other Books that are said to be his, yet none\nis to be compared hereunto, for this containeth them all. Though there\nbe titles with several other Names of the Book, as THE BOOK HELISOL,\nwhich is the very same with this last Book of Lemegeton called ARS NOVA\nor ARS NOTARIA, etc.\n\nThese Books were first found in the Chaldee and Hebrew Tongues at\nJerusalem by a Jewish Rabbi; and by him put into the Greek language and\nthence into the Latin, as it is said.\n\n\n\n\n                            SHEMHAMPHORASH.\n\n\n[Transcriber\u2019s Note: The references below to seals, such as \u201cAnd this is\nhis Seal...\u201d, are to the images printed above in the illustrations at\nthe start of the book, each indicated by the number of each spirit.]\n\n\n(1.) BAEL.\u2014The First Principal Spirit is a King ruling in the East,\ncalled Bael. He maketh thee to go Invisible. He ruleth over 66 Legions\nof Infernal Spirits.

There goeth\nbefore him also an Host of Spirits, like Men with Trumpets and well\nsounding Cymbals, and all other sorts of Musical Instruments. He hath a\ngreat Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such\nthat the Magician cannot well understand unless he can compel him. This\nSpirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things.

And if he doth not\nenter into the triangle, \u25b3, at your threats, rehearse the Bonds and\nCharms before him, and then he will yield Obedience and come into it,\nand do what he is commanded by the Exorcist. Yet he must receive him\ncourteously because he is a Great King, and do homage unto him, as the\nKings and Princes do that attend upon him. And thou must have always a\nSilver Ring on the middle finger of the left hand held against thy\nface,[14] as they do yet before AMAYMON. This Great King Beleth causeth\nall the love that may be, both of Men and of Women, until the Master\nExorcist hath had his desire fulfilled.

AMDUSIAS, or AMDUKIAS.\u2014The Sixty-seventh Spirit is Amdusias, or\nAmdukias. He is a Duke Great and Strong, appearing at first like a\nUnicorn, but at the request of the Exorcist he standeth before him in\nHuman Shape, causing Trumpets, and all manner of Musical Instruments to\nbe heard, but not soon or immediately. Also he can cause Trees to bend\nand incline according to the Exorcist\u2019s Will. He giveth Excellent\nFamiliars. He governeth 29 Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this,\netc.\n\n(68.)

DECARABIA.\u2014The Sixty-ninth Spirit is Decarabia. He appeareth in\nthe Form of a Star in a Pentacle, at first; but after, at the command of\nthe Exorcist, he putteth on the image of a Man. His Office is to\ndiscover the Virtues of Birds and Precious Stones, and to make the\nSimilitude of all kinds of Birds to fly before the Exorcist, singing and\ndrinking as natural Birds do. He governeth 30 Legions of Spirits, being\nhimself a Great Marquis. And this is his Seal, which is to be worn, etc.\n\n(70.) SEERE, SEAR, or SEIR.\u2014The Seventieth Spirit is Seere, Sear, or\nSeir. He is a Mighty Prince, and Powerful, under AMAYMON, King of the\nEast. He appeareth in the Form of a Beautiful Man, riding upon a Winged\nHorse. His Office is to go and come; and to bring abundance of things to\npass on a sudden, and to carry or recarry anything whither thou wouldest\nhave it to go, or whence thou wouldest have it from. He can pass over\nthe whole Earth in the twinkling of an Eye. He giveth a True relation of\nall sorts of Theft, and of Treasure hid, and of many other things.

His Seal is this, the which wear thou as\naforesaid, etc.\n\nTHESE be the 72 Mighty Kings and Princes which King Solomon Commanded\ninto a Vessel of Brass, together with their Legions. Of whom BELIAL,\nBILETH, ASMODAY, and GAAP, were Chief. And it is to be noted that\nSolomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other\nreason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up and\nsealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep\nLake or Hole in Babylon. And they of Babylon, wondering to see such a\nthing, they did then go wholly into the Lake, to break the Vessel open,\nexpecting to find great store of Treasure therein. But when they had\nbroken it open, out flew the Chief Spirits immediately, with their\nLegions following them; and they were all restored to their former\nplaces except BELIAL, who entered into a certain Image, and thence gave\nanswers unto those who did offer Sacrifices unto him, and did worship\nthe Image as their God, etc.\n\nFootnote 13:\n\n  Or Dominions, as they are usually termed.\n\nFootnote 14:\n\n  To protect him from the flaming breath of the enraged Spirit; the\n  design is given at the end of the instructions for the Magical Circle,\n  etc., later on in the Goetia.\n\nFootnote 15:\n\n  In some Codices written Morax, but I consider the above the correct\n  orthography.\n\nFootnote 16:\n\n  Figure 30.\n\nFootnote 17:\n\n  Figure 31.\n\nFootnote 18:\n\n  See _ante_, Spirit No. 13.\n\nFootnote 19:\n\n  One or two Codices have \u201cinvincible,\u201d but \u201cinvisible\u201d is given in the\n  majority.

The\nbest days be when the Moon Luna is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 days old,\nas Solomon saith; and no other days be profitable. The Seals of the 72\nKings are to be made in Metals. The Chief Kings\u2019 in Sol (Gold);\nMarquises\u2019 in Luna (Silver); Dukes\u2019 in Venus (Copper); Prelacies\u2019 in\nJupiter (Tin); Knights\u2019 in Saturn (Lead); Presidents\u2019 in Mercury\n(Mercury); Earls\u2019 in Venus (Copper), and Luna (Silver), alike equal,\netc.\n\nTHESE 72 Kings be under the Power of AMAYMON, CORSON, ZIMIMAY or\nZIMINAIR, and G\u00d6AP, who are the Four Great Kings ruling in the Four\nQuarters, or Cardinal Points,[30] viz.: East, West, North, and South,\nand are not to be called forth except it be upon Great Occasions; but\nare to be Invocated and Commanded to send such or such a Spirit that is\nunder their Power and Rule, as is shown in the following Invocations or\nConjurations. And the Chief Kings may be bound from 9 till 12 o\u2019clock at\nNoon, and from 3 till Sunset; Marquises may be bound from 3 in the\nafternoon till 9 at Night, and from 9 at Night till Sunrise; Dukes may\nbe bound from Sunrise till Noonday in Clear Weather; Prelates may be\nbound any hour of the Day; Knights may from Dawning of Day till Sunrise,\nor from 4 o\u2019clock till Sunset; Presidents may be bound any time,\nexcepting Twilight, at Night, unless the King whom they are under be\nInvocated; and Counties or Earls any hour of the Day, so it be in Woods,\nor in any other places whither men resort not, or where no noise is,\netc.\n\nFootnote 30:\n\n  These four Great Kings are usually called Oriens, or Uriens, Paymon or\n  Paymonia, Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon.

Glasya-Labolas is both President and Earl, etc. \u201cPrince\u201d and\n\u201cPrelate\u201d are apparently used as interchangeable terms. Probably the\nSeals of Earls should be made of Iron, and those of Presidents in\nmixture either of Copper and Silver, or of Silver and Mercury; as\notherwise the Metal of one Planet, Mars, is excluded from the List; the\nMetals attributed to the Seven Planets being: to Saturn, Lead; to\nJupiter, Tin; to Mars, Iron; to the Sun, Gold; to Venus, Copper; to\nMercury, Mercury and mixtures of Metals, and to Luna, Silver.\n\nIn a manuscript codex by Dr. Rudd, which is in the British Museum,\nHebrew names of these 72 Spirits are given; but it appears to me that\nmany are manifestly incorrect in orthography. The codex in question,\nthough beautifully written, also contains many other errors,\nparticularly in the Sigils. Such as they are, these names in the Hebrew\nof Dr. Rudd are here shown. (_See Figures 81 to 152 inclusive._)\n\n\n                          THE MAGICAL CIRCLE.\n\n\nThis is the Form of the Magical Circle of King Solomon, the which he\nmade that he might preserve himself therein from the malice of these\nEvil Spirits. (_See Frontispiece, Figure 153._) This Magical Circle is\nto be made 9 feet across, and the Divine Names are to be written around\nit, beginning at EHYEH, and ending at LEVANAH, Luna.\n\n(Colours.\u2014The space between the outer and inner circles, where the\nserpent is coiled, with the Hebrew names written along his body, is\nbright deep yellow. The square in the centre of the circle, where the\nword \u201cMaster\u201d is written, is filled in with red. All names and letters\nare in black. In the Hexagrams the outer triangles where the letters A,\nD, O, N, A, I, appear are filled in with bright yellow, the centres,\nwhere the T-shaped crosses are, blue or green. In the Pentagrams outside\nthe circle, the outer triangles where \u201cTe, tra, gram, ma, ton,\u201d is\nwritten, are filled in bright yellow, and the centres with the T crosses\nwritten therein are red.[31])\n\nFootnote 31:\n\n  The coiled serpent is only shown in one private codex, the Hebrew\n  names being in most cases simply written round in a somewhat spiral\n  arrangement within the double circle. It is to be remembered that\n  Hebrew is always written from right to left, instead of from left to\n  right like ordinary European languages. The small Maltese crosses are\n  placed to mark the conclusion of each separate set of Hebrew names.\n  These names are those of Deity Angels and Archangels allotted by the\n  Qabalists to each of the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations. In\n  English letters they run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent:\n  + Ehyeh Kether Metatron Chaioth Ha-Qadehs Rashith Ha-Galgalim S.P.M.\n  (for \u201cSphere of the Primum Mobile\u201d) + Iah Chokmah Ratziel Auphanim\n  Masloth S.S.F (for \u201cSphere of the Fixed Stars,\u201d or S.Z. for \u201cSphere of\n  the Zodiac\u201d) + Iehovah Eolhim Binah Tzaphquiel Aralim Shabbathai S.\n  (for \u201cSphere\u201d) of Saturn + El Chesed Tzadquiel Chaschmalim Tzedeq S.\n  of Jupiter + Elohim Gibor Geburah Kamael Seraphim Madim S. of Mars +\n  Iehovah Eloah Va-Da\u00e4th Tiphereth Rapha\u0113l Malakim Shemesh S. of the Sun\n  + Iehovah Tzabaoth Netzach Haniel Elohim Nogah S. of Venus. + Elohim\n  Tzabaoth Hod Micha\u0113l Beni Elohim Kokav S. of Mercury + Shadda\u00ef El Chai\n  Iesod Gabriel Cherubim Levanah S. of the Moon +.\n\n\n                    THE MAGICAL TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON.\n\n\nThis is the Form of the Magical Triangle, into the which Solomon did\ncommand the Evil Spirits. It is to be made at 2 feet distance from the\nMagical Circle and it is 3 feet across. (_See Frontispiece Figure 154._)\nNote that this triangle is to be placed toward that quarter whereunto\nthe Spirit belongeth. And the base of the triangle is to be nearest unto\nthe Circle, the apex pointing in the direction of the quarter of the\nSpirit. Observe thou also the Moon in thy working, as aforesaid, etc.\nAnaphaxeton is sometimes written Anepheneton.\n\n(Colours.\u2014Triangle outlined in black; name of Michael black on white\nground; the three Names without the triangle written in red; circle in\ncentre entirely filled in in dark green.)\n\n\n                        THE HEXAGRAM OF SOLOMON.\n\n\nThis is the Form of the Hexagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be\nmade on parchment of a calf\u2019s skin, and worn at the skirt of thy white\nvestment, and covered with a cloth of fine linen white and pure, the\nwhich is to be shown unto the Spirits when they do appear, so that they\nbe compelled to take human shape upon them and be obedient.\n\n(Colours.\u2014Circle, Hexagon, and T cross in centre outlined in black,\nMaltese crosses black; the five exterior triangles of the Hexagram where\nTe, tra, gram, ma, ton, is written, are filled in with bright yellow;\nthe T cross in centre is red, with the three little squares therein in\nblack. The lower exterior triangle, where the Sigil is drawn in black,\nis left white. The words \u201cTetragrammaton\u201d and \u201cTau\u201d are in black\nletters; and AGLA with Alpha and Omega in red letters.)\n\n\n                       THE PENTAGRAM OF SOLOMON.\n\n\nThis is the Form of Pentagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be\nmade in Sol or Luna (Gold or Silver), and worn upon thy breast; having\nthe Seal of the Spirit required upon the other side thereof. It is to\npreserve thee from danger, and also to command the Spirits by.\n\n(Colours.\u2014Circle and pentagram outlined in black.

It is to be held before\nthe face of the exorcist to preserve him from the stinking sulphurous\nfumes and flaming breath of the Evil Spirits.\n\n(Colour.\u2014Bright yellow. Letters, black.)\n\n\n                          THE VESSEL OF BRASS.\n\n\nThis is the Form of the Vessel of Brass wherein King Solomon did shut up\nthe Evil Spirits, etc. (_See Figures 158 and 159._) (Somewhat different\nforms are given in the various codices. The seal in Figure 160 was made\nin brass to cover this vessel with at the top. This history of the genii\nshut up in the brazen vessel by King Solomon recalls the story of \u201cThe\nFisherman and the Jinni\u201d in \u201cThe Arabian Nights.\u201d In this tale, however,\nthere was only one jinni shut up in a vessel of yellow brass the which\nwas covered at the top with a leaden seal. This jinni tells the\nfisherman that his name is Sakhr, or Sacar.)\n\n(Colour.\u2014Bronze. Letters.\u2014Black on a red band.)\n\n\n                      THE SECRET SEAL OF SOLOMON.\n\n\nThis is the Form of the Secret Seal of Solomon, wherewith he did bind\nand seal up the aforesaid Spirits with their legions in the Vessel of\nBrass.\n\nThis seal is to be made by one that is clean both inwardly and\noutwardly, and that hath not defiled himself by any woman in the space\nof a month, but hath in prayer and fasting desired of God to forgive him\nall his sins, etc.\n\nIt is to be made on the day of Mars or Saturn (Tuesday or Saturday) at\nnight at 12 o\u2019clock, and written upon virgin parchment with the blood of\na black cock that never trode hen. Note that on this night the moon must\nbe increasing in light (_i.e._, going from new to full) and in the\nZodiacal Sign of Virgo. And when the seal is so made thou shalt perfume\nit with alum, raisins dried in the sun, dates, cedar and lignum aloes.\n\nAlso, by this seal King Solomon did command all the aforesaid Spirits in\nthe Vessel of Brass, and did seal it up with this same seal. He by it\ngained the love of all manner of persons, and overcame in battle, for\nneither weapons, nor fire, nor water could hurt him. And this privy seal\nwas made to cover the vessel at the top withal, etc.\n\nNote: Figures 162 to 174 inclusive are interesting as showing a marked\nresemblance to the central design of the Secret Seal. It will be\nobserved that the evident desire is to represent hieroglyphically a\nperson raising his or her hands in adoration. Nearly all are stone\nsepulchral steles, and the execution of them is rough and primitive in\nthe extreme. Most are in the Mus\u00e9e du Louvre at Paris.\n\nFigures 162 and 163 are from the district of Constantine and show a\nfigure raising its arms in adoration.\n\nIn Figure 164, also from Constantine, the person bears a palm branch in\nthe right hand. Above is a hieroglyphic representing either the Lunar\nDisc or the Sun in the heavens; but more probably the former.\n\nFigure 165 is a more complicated stele. Above is the symbol already\nmentioned, then comes the sign of the Pentagram, represented by a\nfive-pointed star, towards which the person raises his or her hands.\nBesides the latter is a rude form of caduceus. A brief inscription\nfollows in the Punic character. The Punic or Carthaginian language is\nusually considered to have been a dialect of Ph\u0153nician, and Carthage was\nof course a colony of Tyre. Beneath the Tunic inscription is a horse\u2019s\nhead in better drawing than the sculpture of the rest of the stele,\nwhich would seem to imply that the rudeness of the representation of the\nhuman figure is intentional. This and the following stele are also from\nConstantine.\n\nIn Figure 166 again, the horse is best delineated by far. In addition to\nthe other symbols there is either a hand or a foot, for it is almost\nimpossible to distinguish which, at the head of the stele, followed by\nan egg-and-tongue moulding. The figure of the person with the arms\nraised is treated as a pure hieroglyphic and is placed between two rude\ncaducei. The Lunar or Solar Symbol follows.\n\nFigure 167, also from Constantine, shows the last-mentioned symbol\nabove. The figure with the arms raised is simply a hieroglyph, and is\nplaced between an arm and hand on the one side, and a rude caduceus on\nthe other.\n\nFigure 168 shows the person holding a rude caduceus in the right hand,\nand standing above a dolphin. This latter, as in the case of the horse\nin 165 and 166, is by far the best delineated.\n\nFigure 169, this also being from Constantine, shows the usual human\nhieroglyph between a caduceus and a crescent.\n\nFigure 170 is from the site of ancient Carthage. It is very rough in\nworkmanship, and the designs are mere scratchings on the stone. The\n_ensemble_ has the effect of an evil Sigil.\n\nFigure 171 is also from Carthage and the various symbols appear to have\nbecome compressed into and synthesised in the form of a peculiarly\nevil-looking caduceus.\n\nFigure 172 is from the decoration of a sepulchral urn found at\nOldenburgh in Germany. It is remarkable as showing the same hieroglyphic\nhuman form with the crescent above; the latter in the Secret Seal of\nSolomon has a flattened top, and is therefore more like a bowl, and is\nplaced across the hieroglyph.\n\nFigure 173 is an Egyptian design which would show an analogy between the\nsymbol and the idea of the force of the creation.\n\nFigure 174 is a stele from Ph\u0153nicia somewhat similar to the others,\nexcept that the rudimentary caducei in Figures 166 and 170 are here\nreplaced by two roughly drawn Ionic columns.\n\nThese last three designs are taken from the work of the Chevalier Emile\nSoldi-Colbert de Beaulieu, on the \u201c_Langue Sacr\u00e9e_.\u201d\n\nIn Figure 175 is given the Seal of the Spirit HALAHEL. This Spirit is\nsaid to be under the rule of BAEL, and to be of a mixed nature, partly\ngood and partly evil, like the spirits of Theurgia-Goetia which follow\nin the second book of the Lemegeton.\n\n\n                     THE OTHER MAGICAL REQUISITES.\n\n\nThe other magical requisites are: a sceptre, a sword, a mitre, a cap, a\nlong white robe of linen, and other garments for the purpose;[32] also a\ngirdle of lion\u2019s skin three inches broad, with all the names written\nabout it which be round the outmost part of the Magical Circle. Also\nperfumes, and a chafing-dish of charcoal kindled to put the fumes on, to\nsmoke or perfume the place appointed for action; also anointing oil to\nanoint thy temples and thine eyes with; and fair water to wash thyself\nin. And in so doing, thou shalt say as David said:\n\nTHE ADORATION AT THE BATH.\n\n\u201cThou shalt purge me with hyssop, O Lord! and I shall be clean: Thou\nshalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.\u201d\n\nAnd at the putting on of thy garments thou shalt say: THE ADORATION AT\nTHE INDUING OF THE VESTMENTS.\n\n\u201cBy the figurative mystery of these holy vestures (or of this holy\nvestment) I will clothe me with the armour of salvation in the strength\nof the Most High, ANCHOR; AMACOR; AMIDES; THEODINIAS; ANITOR; that my\ndesired end may be effected through Thy strength, O ADONAI! unto Whom\nthe praise and glory will for ever and ever belong! Amen!\u201d\n\nAfter thou hast so done, make prayers unto God according unto thy work,\nas Solomon hath commanded.\n\nFootnote 32:\n\n  In many Codices it is written \u201ca sceptre or sword, a mitre or cap.\u201d By\n  the \u201cother garments\u201d would be meant not only under-garments, but also\n  mantles of different colours.\n\n\n      THE CONJURATION TO CALL FORTH ANY OF THE AFORESAID SPIRITS.\n\n\nI do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit, N.[33]; and being with power\narmed from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by\nBERALANENSIS, BALDACHIENSIS, PAUMACHIA, and APOLOGIAE SEDES; by the most\nPowerful Princes, Genii, Liachid\u00e6, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode;\nand by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion, I\ndo invoke thee, and by invocating conjure thee. And being armed with\npower from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by Him Who\nspake and it was done, and unto whom all creatures be obedient. Also I,\nbeing made after the image of GOD, endued with power from GOD and\ncreated according unto His will, do exorcise thee by that most mighty\nand powerful name of GOD, EL, strong and wonderful; O thou Spirit N. And\nI command thee and Him who spake the Word and HIS FIAT was accomplished,\nand by all the names of God. Also by the names ADONAI, EL, ELOHIM,\nELOHI, EHYEH, ASHER EHYEH, ZABAOTH, ELION, IAH, TETRAGRAMMATON, SHADDAI,\nLORD GOD MOST HIGH, I do exorcise thee and do powerfully command thee, O\nthou Spirit N., that thou dost forthwith appear unto me here before this\nCircle in a fair human shape, without any deformity or tortuosity. And\nby this ineffable name, TETRAGRAMMATON IEHOVAH, do I command thee, at\nthe which being heard the elements are overthrown, the air is shaken,\nthe sea runneth back, the fire is quenched, the earth trembleth, and all\nthe hosts of the celestials, terrestrials, and infernals do tremble\ntogether, and are troubled and confounded. Wherefore come thou, O Spirit\nN., forthwith, and without delay, from any or all parts of the world\nwherever thou mayest be, and make rational answers unto all things that\nI shall demand of thee. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably, now,\nand without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire. For thou art\nconjured by the name of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, HELIOREN, wherefore\nfulfil thou my commands, and persist thou therein unto the end, and\naccording unto mine interest, visibly and affably speaking unto me with\na voice clear and intelligible without any ambiguity.\n\nRepeat this conjuration as often as thou pleasest, and if the Spirit\ncome not yet, say as followeth:\n\n\n                        THE SECOND CONJURATION.\n\n\nI do invocate, conjure, and command thee, O thou Spirit N., to appear\nand to show thyself visibly unto me before this Circle in fair and\ncomely shape, without any deformity or tortuosity; by the name and in\nthe name IAH and VAU, which Adam heard and spake; and by the name of\nGOD, AGLA, which Lot heard and was saved with his family; and by the\nname IOTH, which Jacob heard from the angel wrestling with him, and was\ndelivered from the hand of Esau his brother; and by the name ANAPHAXETON\nwhich Aaron heard and spake and was made wise; and by the name ZABAOTH,\nwhich Moses named and all the rivers were turned into blood; and by the\nname ASHER EHYEH ORISTON, which Moses named, and all the rivers brought\nforth frogs, and they ascended into the houses, destroying all things;\nand by the name ELION, which Moses named, and there was great hail such\nas had not been since the beginning of the world; and by the name\nADONAI, which Moses named, and there came up locusts, which appeared\nupon the whole land, and devoured all which the hail had left; and by\nthe name SCHEMA AMATHIA which Ioshua called upon, and the sun stayed his\ncourse; and by the name ALPHA and OMEGA, which Daniel named, and\ndestroyed Bel, and slew the Dragon; and in the name EMMANUEL, which the\nthree children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, sang in the midst of\nthe fiery furnace, and were delivered; and by the name HAGIOS; and by\nthe SEAL[34] OF ADONI; and by ISCHYROS, ATHANATOS, PARACLETOS; and by O\nTHEOS, ICTROS, ATHANATOS; and by these three secret names, AGLA, ON,\nTETRAGRAMMATON, do I adjure and constrain thee. And by these names, and\nby all the other names of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, the LORD ALMIGHTY, I\ndo exorcise and command thee, O Spirit N., even by Him Who spake the\nWord and it was done, and to Whom all creatures are obedient; and by the\ndreadful judgments of GOD; and by the uncertain Sea of Glass, which is\nbefore the DIVINE MAJESTY, mighty and powerful; by the four beasts\nbefore the throne, having eyes before and behind; by the fire round\nabout the throne; by the holy angels of Heaven; and by the mighty wisdom\nof GOD; I do potently exorcise thee, that thou appearest here before\nthis Circle, to fulfil my will in all things which shall seem good unto\nme; by the Seal of BASDATHEA BALDACHIA; and by this name PRIMEUMATON,\nwhich Moses named, and the earth opened, and did swallow up Kora,\nDathan, and Abiram. Wherefore thou shalt make faithful answers unto all\nmy demands, O Spirit N., and shalt perform all my desires so far as in\nthine office thou art capable hereof. Wherefore, come thou, visibly,\npeaceably, and affably, now without delay, to manifest that which I\ndesire, speaking with a clear and perfect voice, intelligibly, and to\nmine understanding.\n\nIf he come not yet at the rehearsal of these two first conjurations (but\nwithout doubt he will), say on as followeth; it being a constraint:\n\n\n                            THE CONSTRAINT.\n\n\nI do conjure thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the most glorious and\nefficacious names of the MOST GREAT AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE LORD GOD OF\nHOSTS, that thou comest quickly and without delay from all parts and\nplaces of the earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make rational\nanswers unto my demands, and that visibly and affably, speaking with a\nvoice intelligible unto mine understanding as aforesaid. I conjure and\nconstrain thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the names aforesaid; and in\naddition by these seven great names wherewith Solomon the Wise bound\nthee and thy companions in a Vessel of Brass, ADONAI, PREYAI or PRERAI,\nTETRAGRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON or ANEPHENETON, INESSENFATOAL or\nINESSENFATALL, PATHTUMON or PATHATUMON, and ITEMON; that thou appearest\nhere before this Circle to fulfil my will in all things that seem good\nunto me. And if thou be still so disobedient, and refusest still to\ncome, I will in the power and by the power of the name of the SUPREME\nAND EVERLASTING LORD GOD WHO created both thee and me and all the world\nin six days, and what is contained therein, EIE, SARAYE, and by the\npower of this name PRIMEUMATON which commandeth the whole host of\nHeaven, curse thee, and deprive thee of thine office, joy, and place,\nand bind thee in the depths of the Bottomless Pit or Abyss, there to\nremain unto the Day of the Last Judgment. And I will bind thee in the\nEternal Fire, and into the Lake of Flame and of Brimstone, unless thou\ncomest quickly and appearest here before this Circle to do my will.\nTherefore, come thou! in and by the holy names ADONAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI,\nAMIORAN. Come thou! for it is ADONAI who commandest thee.\n\nIf thou hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not, thou mayest be\nsure that he is sent unto some other place by his King, and cannot come;\nand if it be so, invocate the King as here followeth, to send him. But\nif he do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in\nchains in hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so,\nand thou still hast a desire to call him even from thence, thou must\nrehearse the general curse which is called the Spirits\u2019 Chain.\n\nHere followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King:[35]\n\n\n                      THE INVOCATION OF THE KING.\n\n\nO thou great, powerful, and mighty KING AMAIMON, who bearest rule by the\npower of the SUPREME GOD EL over all spirits both superior and inferior\nof the Infernal Orders in the Dominion of the East; I do invocate and\ncommand thee by the especial and true name of God; and by that God that\nThou Worshippest; and by the Seal of thy creation; and by the most\nmighty and powerful name of GOD, IEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON who cast thee\nout of heaven with all other infernal spirits; and by all the most\npowerful and great names of GOD who created Heaven, and Earth, and Hell,\nand all things in them contained; and by their power and virtue; and by\nthe name PRIMEUMATON who commandeth the whole host of Heaven; that thou\nmayest cause, enforce, and compel the Spirit N. to come unto me here\nbefore this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without harm unto me or\nunto any other creature, to answer truly and faithfully unto all my\nrequests; so that I may accomplish my will and desire in knowing or\nobtaining any matter or thing which by office thou knowest is proper for\nhim to perform or accomplish, through the power of GOD, EL, Who created\nand doth dispose of all things both celestial, a\u00ebrial, terrestrial, and\ninfernal.\n\nAfter thou shalt have invocated the King in this manner twice or thrice\nover, then conjure the spirit thou wouldst call forth by the aforesaid\nconjurations, rehearsing them several times together, and he will come\nwithout doubt, if not at the first or second time of rehearsing. But if\nhe do not come, add the \u201cSpirits\u2019 Chain\u201d unto the end of the aforesaid\nconjurations, and he will be forced to come, even if he be bound in\nchains, for the chains must break off from him, and he will be at\nliberty:\n\n\n THE GENERAL CURSE, CALLED THE SPIRITS\u2019 CHAIN, AGAINST ALL SPIRITS THAT\n                                 REBEL.\n\n\nO thou wicked and disobedient spirit N., because thou hast rebelled, and\nhast not obeyed nor regarded my words which I have rehearsed; they being\nall glorious and incomprehensible names of the true GOD, the maker and\ncreator of thee and of me, and of all the world; I do by the power of\nthese names the which no creature is able to resist, curse thee into the\ndepth of the Bottomless Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of Doom in\nchains, and in fire and brimstone unquenchable, unless thou forthwith\nappear here before this Circle, in this triangle to do my will. And,\ntherefore, come thou quickly and peaceably, in and by these names of\nGOD, ADONAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN; come thou! come thou! for it is\nthe King of Kings, even ADONAI, who commandeth thee.\n\nWhen thou shalt have rehearsed thus far, but still he cometh not, then\nwrite thou his seal on parchment and put thou it into a strong black\nbox;[36] with brimstone, assaf\u0153tida, and such like things that bear a\nstinking smell; and then bind the box up round with an iron wire, and\nhang it upon the point of thy sword, and hold it over the fire of\ncharcoal; and say as followeth unto the fire first, it being placed\ntoward that quarter whence the Spirit is to come:\n\n\n                      THE CONJURATION OF THE FIRE.\n\n\nI conjure thee, O fire, by him who made thee and all other creatures for\ngood in the world, that thou torment, burn, and consume this Spirit N.,\nfor everlasting. I condemn thee, thou Spirit N., because thou art\ndisobedient and obeyest not my commandment, nor keepest the precepts of\nthe LORD THY GOD, neither wilt thou obey me nor mine invocations, having\nthereby called thee forth, I, who am the servant of the MOST HIGH AND\nIMPERIAL LORD GOD OF HOSTS, IEHOVAH, I who am dignified and fortified by\nHis celestial power and permission, and yet thou comest not to answer\nthese my propositions here made unto thee. For the which thine\naverseness and contempt thou art guilty of great disobedience and\nrebellion, and therefore shall I excommunicate thee, and destroy thy\nname and seal, the which I have enclosed in this box; and shall burn\nthee in the immortal fire and bury thee in immortal oblivion; unless\nthou immediately come and appear visibly and affably, friendly and\ncourteously here unto me before this Circle, in this triangle, in a form\ncomely and fair, and in no wise terrible, hurtful, or frightful to me or\nany other creature whatsoever upon the face of earth. And thou shalt\nmake rational answers unto my requests, and perform all my desires in\nall things, that I shall make unto thee.\n\nAnd if he come not even yet, thou shalt say as followeth:\n\n\n                         THE GREATER CURSE.[37]\n\n\nNow, O thou Spirit N., since thou art still pernicious and disobedient,\nand wilt not appear unto me to answer unto such things as I would have\ndesired of thee, or would have been satisfied in; I do in the name, and\nby the power and dignity of the Omnipresent and Immortal Lord God of\nHosts IEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON, the only creator of Heaven, and Earth, and\nHell, and all that is therein, who is the marvellous Disposer of all\nthings both visible and invisible, curse thee, and deprive thee of all\nthine office, joy, and place; and I do bind thee in the depths of the\nBottomless Abyss there to remain until the Day of Judgment, I say into\nthe Lake of Fire and Brimstone which is prepared for all rebellious,\ndisobedient, obstinate, and pernicious spirits. Let all the company of\nHeaven curse thee! Let the sun, moon, and all the stars curse thee! Let\nthe LIGHT and all the hosts of Heaven curse thee into the fire\nunquenchable, and into the torments unspeakable. And as thy name and\nseal contained in this box chained and bound up, shall be choken in\nsulphurous stinking substances, and burned in this material fire; so in\nthe name IEHOVAH and by the power and dignity of these three names,\nTETRAGRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON, and PRIMEUMATON, I do cast thee, O thou\nwicked and disobedient Spirit N., into the Lake of Fire which is\nprepared for the damn\u00e9d and accurs\u00e9d spirits, and there to remain unto\nthe day of doom, and never more to be remembered before the face of God,\nwho shall come to judge the quick, and the dead, and the world, by fire.\n\nThen the exorcist must put the box into the fire, and by-and-by the\nSpirit will come, but as soon as he is come, quench the fire that the\nbox is in, and make a sweet perfume, and give him welcome and a kind\nentertainment, showing unto him the Pentacle that is at the bottom of\nyour vesture covered with a linen cloth, saying:\n\n\n              THE ADDRESS UNTO THE SPIRIT UPON HIS COMING.\n\n\nBehold thy confusion if thou refusest to be obedient! Behold the\nPentacle of Solomon which I have brought here before thy presence!\nBehold the person of the exorcist in the midst of the exorcism; him who\nis arm\u00e9d by God and without fear; him who potently invocateth thee and\ncalleth thee forth unto appearance; even him, thy master, who is called\nOCTINIMOS. Wherefore make rational answer unto my demands, and prepare\nto be obedient unto thy master in the name of the Lord:\n\nBATHAL OR VATHAT RUSHING UPON ABRAC!\n\nABEOR COMING UPON ABERER![38]\n\nThen he or they will be obedient, and bid thee ask what thou wilt, for\nhe or they be subjected by God to fulfil our desires and commands. And\nwhen he or they shall have appeared and showed himself or themselves\nhumble and meek, then shalt thou rehearse:\n\n\n                      THE WELCOME UNTO THE SPIRIT.\n\n\nWelcome Spirit N., O most noble king[39] (or kings)! I say thou art\nwelcome unto me, because I have called thee through Him who has created\nHeaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all that is in them contained, and\nbecause also thou hast obeyed. By that same power by the which I have\ncalled thee forth, I bind thee, that thou remain affably and visibly\nhere before this Circle (or before this Circle and in this triangle) so\nconstant and so long as I shall have occasion for thy presence; and not\nto depart without my license until thou hast duly and faithfully\nperformed my will without any falsity.\n\nThen standing in the midst of the Circle, thou shall stretch forth thine\nhand in a gesture of command and say:\n\n\u201cBY THE PENTACLE OF SOLOMON HAVE I CALLED THEE! GIVE UNTO ME A TRUE\nANSWER.\u201d\n\nThen let the exorcist state his desires and requests.\n\nAnd when the evocation is finished thou shalt license the Spirit to\ndepart thus:\n\n\n                         THE LICENSE TO DEPART.\n\n\nO thou Spirit N., because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands,\nand hast been very ready and willing to come at my call, I do here\nlicense thee to depart unto thy proper place; without causing harm or\ndanger unto man or beast. Depart, then, I say, and be thou very ready to\ncome at my call, being duly exorcised and conjured by the sacred rites\nof magic. I charge thee to withdraw peaceably and quietly, and the peace\nof GOD be ever continued between thee and me! AMEN!\n\nAfter thou hast given the Spirit license to depart, thou art not to go\nout of the circle until he or they be gone, and until thou shalt have\nmade prayers and rendered thanks unto God for the great blessings He\nhath bestowed upon thee in granting thy desires, and delivering thee\nfrom all the malice of the enemy the devil.\n\nAlso note! Thou mayest command these spirits into the Vessel of Brass in\nthe same manner as thou dost into the triangle, by saying: \u201cthat thou\ndost forthwith appear before this Circle, in this Vessel of Brass, in a\nfair and comely shape,\u201d etc., as hath been shown in the fore-going\nconjurations.\n\nFootnote 33:\n\n  Here interpolate the name of the Spirit desired to be invocated. In\n  some of the Codices there are faint variations in the form of wording\n  of the conjurations, but not sufficient to change the sense, _e. g._,\n  \u201cTartarean abode\u201d for \u201cTartarean seat,\u201d etc.\n\nFootnote 34:\n\n  In some \u201cBy the Seat of Adonai\u201d or \u201cBy the Throne of Adonai.\u201d In these\n  conjurations and elsewhere in the body of the text I have given the\n  divine names correctly.\n\nFootnote 35:\n\n  It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which\n  of the four chief kings are to be invoked.\n\nFootnote 36:\n\n  This box should evidently be in metal or in something which does not\n  take fire easily.\n\nFootnote 37:\n\n  In some codices this is called \u201cthe Curse\u201d only; but in one or two the\n  \u201cSpirits\u2019 Chain\u201d is called \u201cthe Lesser Curse,\u201d and this the \u201cGreater\n  Curse.\u201d\n\nFootnote 38:\n\n  In the Latin, \u201cBathal vel Vathat super Abrac ruens!
