 PREFATORY NOTE.
A.G.R.C. A.R.C.G.
THIS translation of the First Book of the " Lemegeton " (now for
the first time made accessible to English adepts and st1,ldents of the
Mysteries) was done, after careful collation and edition, from numer-
ous MSS. in Hebrew, Latin, French and English, by G. H. Fra.
D.D.C.F., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian
Order.l The G. H. Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the
assaults of the Four Great Princes (acting notably under Martial
influences), it seemed expedient that the work should be brought
to its conclusion by another hand. The investigations of a com-
petent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., confirmed this
divination; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic Mul. were there
seen; but only the terrible shapes of the evil Adepts S.V.A.2 and

1 Mr. A. E. Waite writes (" Real History of the Rosicrucians," p. 426): "I beg

leave to warn my readers that all persons who proclaim themselves to be Rosicrucians
are simply members of pseudo-fraternities, and that there is that difference between
their assertion and the fact of the case in which the essence of a lie consists I "
It is within the Editor's personal knowledge that Mr. Waite was (and still is
probably) a member of a society claiming to be the R.C. fraternity.
As Mr. Waite constantly hints in his writings that he is in touch with initiated
centres, I think the syllogism, whose premisses are given above, is fair, if not quite
formal.-ED.
, It was owing to our Fra. receiving this S.Y.A. as his Superior, and giving up
the Arcana of our Fraternity into so unhallowed a power, that We decided no longer
to leave Our dignity and authority in the hands of one who could be thus easily
imposed upon. (For by a childish and easy magical trick did S.Y.A. persuade D.D.C.F.
of that lie.)
v
H., whose original bodies having been sequestered by Justice, were
no longer of use to them. On this we stayed no longer Our Hand;
but withdrawing Ourselves, and consulting the Rota, and the
Books M. and Q. did decide to ask Mr. Aleister Crowley, 1 a
poet, and skilled student of Magical Lore, and an expert Kabbalist,
to complete openly that which had been begun in secret. 2 This is
that which is written: "His Bishoprick let another take." And
again: "Oculi Tetragrammaton." This is also that which is said:
"Nomen Secundum r~rv v"p refertur ad Gebhurah; qui est Rex
secundus, quo moriente delabebantur Posteriora Matris, unde
Bt·tlul atque Corruptio A churajim Patris et Matris hoc indigit-
atur."
And so saying we wish you well.
Ex Deo Nascimur.
In Jesu Morimur.
Per S.S. Reviviscimus.

1 The task of editing the MSS. thus placed in my hands has proved practically a

sinecure The original translator and editor had completed his work so efficiently that
very little was left for me to do beyond undertaking the business transactions connected
with it, reading the proofs, and deciphering, with transliteration from the Enochian
characters, the "Angelic" version of Perdurabo, from the priceless MS. entrusted
to me.-ED.
• He that is appointed to complete in secret that which had been begun openly
is R.R., and to be heard of at the care of the Editor.

of
1
ClCtrrmonial magic.
T is loftily amu~ing to the stu~en~ of magicalliteratur~ ~~o is ~ot quite a
I. fool-and rare 1S such a combmatlon I-to note the cnt1c1sm d1rected by
the Philistine against the citadel of his science. Truly, since our childhood
has ingrained into us not only literal belief in the Bible, but also substantial
belief in Alf Laylah wa Laylah, and only adolescence can cure us, we are
only too liable, in the rush and energy of dawning manhood, to overturn
roughly and rashly both these classics, to regard them both on the same
level, as interesting documents from the standpoint of folk-lore and anthro-
pology, and as nothing more.
Even when we learn that the Bible, by a profound and minute study of
the text, may be forced to yield up Qabalistic arcana of cosmic scope and
importance, we are too often slow to apply a similar restorative to the com-
panion volume, even if we are the lucky holders of Burton's veritable
edition.
To me, then, it remains to raise the Alf Laylah wa Laylah into its
proper place once more.
I am not concerned to deny the objective reality of all "magical" phe-
nomena; if they are illusions, they are at least as real as many unquestioned
facts of daily life; and, if we follow Herbert Spencer, they are at least
evidence of so me cause. 2
Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my illusion of seeing
a spirit in the triangle of Art?
I Introductory Essay. By Aleister Crowley.
I This, incidentally, is perhaps the gre~test argument we possess, pushed to its extreme,
against the Advaitist theories.
 Every smatterer, every expert in psychology, will answer: "That
cause lies in your brain."
English children (pace the Education Act) are taught that the Universe
lies in infinite Space; Hindu children, in the AkaSa, which is the same thing.
Those Europeans who go a little deeper learn from Fich te, that the
phenomenal Universe is the creation of the Ego; Hindus, or Europeans
studying under Hindu Gurus, are told, that by AkaSa is meant the Chit-
akaSa. The ChitakaSa is situated in the" Third Eye," -i.e., in the brain. By
assuming higher dimensions of space, we can assimilate this fact to Realism;
but we have no need to take so much trouble.
This being true for the ordinary Universe, that all sense-impressions
are dependent on changes in the brain,l we must include illusions, which are
after all sense-impressions as much as "realities" are, in the class of "phe-
nomena dependent on brain-changes."
Magical phenomena, however, come under a special sub-class, since
they are willed, and their cause is the series of " real" phenomena called the
operations of ceremonial Magic.
These consist of
(I) Sight.
The circle, square, triangle, vessels, lamps, robes, imple-
ments, etc.
(2) Sound.
The invocations.
(3) Smell.
The perfumes.
(4) Taste.
The Sacraments.
(5) Touch.
As under (I).
(6) Mind.
The combination of all these and reflection on their signifi-
cance.
These unusual impressions (1-5) produce unusual brain-changes; hence
1 Thought is a secretion of the brain (Weissmann). Consciousness is a function of the
brain (Huxley).
2
their summary (6) is of unusual kind. Its projection back into the appar-
ently phenomenal world is therefore unusual.
Herein then consists the reality qf the operations and effects of cere-
monial magic,' and I conceive that the apology is ample, so far as the
C/ effects" refer only to those phenomena which appear to the magician
himself, the appearance of the spirit, his conversation', possible shocks from
imprudence. and so on, even to ecstasy on the one hand, and death or
madness on the other.
But can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be obtained,
and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the circumstances? Say
you so?
I can, and will.
The spirits of the Goetia are portions of the human brain.
Their seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer's projected cube) methods
of stimulating or regulating those particular spots (through the eye).
The names of God are vibrations calculated to establish:
(a) General control of the brain. (Establishment of functions relative to
the subtle world.)
(b) Control over the brain in detail. (Rank or type of the Spirit.)
(c) Control of one special portion. (Name of the Spirit.)
The perfumes aid this through smell. Usually the perfume will only
tend to control a large area; but there is an attribution of perfumes to
letters of the alphabet enabling one, by a Qabalistic formula, to spell out
the Spirit's name.
I need not enter into more particular discussion of these points; the
intelligent reader can easily fill in what is lacking.
If, then, I say, with Solomon:
"The Spirit Cimieries teaches logic," what I mean is:
"Those portions of my brain which subserve the logical faculty may
be stimulated and developed by following out the processes called 'The
Invocation of Cimieries.' "
And this is a purely materialistic rational statement; it is independent
of any objective hierarchy at all. Philosophy has nothing to say; and
1 Apart from its value in obtaining one-pointedness. On this subject the curious may
consult my n'fVN'.::l.
3
Science can only suspend judgment, pending a proper and methodical in
vestigation of the facts alleged.
Unfortunately, we cannot stop there. Solomon promises us that we
can (I) obtain information; (2) destroy our enemies; (3) understand the voices
of nature; (4) obtain treasure; (5) heal diseases, etc. I have taken these five
powers at random; considerations of space forbid me to explain all.
(I) Brings up facts from sub-consciousness.
(2) Here we come to an interesting fact. It is curious to note the
contrast between the noble means and the apparently vile ends of magical
rituals. The latter are disguises for sublime truths. "To destroy our
enemies" is to realize the illusion of duality, to excite compassion.
(Ah! Mr. Waite, the world of Magic is a mirror, wherein who sees
muck is muck.)
(3) A careful naturalist will understand much from the voices of the
animals he has studied long. Even a child knows the difference of a eat's
miauling and purring. The faculty may be greatly developed.
(4) Business capacity may be stimulated.
(5) Abnormal states of the body may be corrected, and the involved
tissues brought back to tone, in obedience to currents started from the brain.
So for all other phenomena. There is no effect which is truly and
necessarily miraculous.
Our Ceremonial Magic fines down, then, to a series of minute, though
of course empirical, physiological experiments, and whoso will carry them
through intelligently need not fear the result.
I have all the health, and treasure, and logic, I need; I have no time
to waste. "There is a lion in the way." For me these practices are useless;
but for the benefit of others less fortunate I give them to the world, together
with this explanation of, and apology for, them.
I trust that the explanation will enable many students who have hitherto,
by a puerile objectivity in their view of the question, obtained no results, to
succeed; that the apology may impress upon our scornful men of science
that the study of the bacillus should give place to that of the baculum, the
little to the great-how great one only realizes when one identifies the wand
with the Mahalingam, up which Brahma flew at the rate of 84,000 yojanas
a second for 84,000 mahakalpas, down which Vishnu flew at the rate of
4
84,000 crores of yojanas a second for 84,000 crores of mahakalpas-yet
neither reached an end.
But I reach an end.

N oTE.-I had intended in this place to devote a little attention to the
edition (save the mark) of the" Goetia" produced by Mr. A. E. Waite in
the" Book of Black Magic."
But a fresh perusal of that work reveals it to be such a farrago of
twenty-fifth-rate shoddy schoolboy journalism that disgust compels me to
refrain. I may merely mention that the letterpress is garbled and the seals
abominably drawn. To give one concrete example j on p. 202 Mr. Waite
observes:
.. This (that the compiler of the Lemegeton was acquainted with the
Jt

N. T.) II is proved by the references in the Third Conjuration to the Living

Creatures of the Apocalypse."
There is no such reference!
In the Second Conjuration, for I have corrected Mr. Waite's careless
blunder, there is a reference to Living Creatures j there is also a reference
to the same beings in the Apocalypse.
The argument then stands:
The Book of Chronicles refers to King Solomon (unknown date).
Mr. Waite refers to King Solomon (1898),
Therefore,
The author of the Book of Chronicles was acquainted with Mr. Waite's
book. 1
We will conclude by condoling with the author of the Book of
Chronicles.
1 Even apart from this, if Living Creatures are really existent things-which the name

would suggest-the argument stands:

The Rig-Veda,
The Old Testament,
The Insidecompletuar Britanniaware,
The Sword of Song
all refer to the Sun_
:. there is a common source i n lit era t u r e.
Mr. Waite's fallacy is all very well, though, for people who have never kept Living Creatures,
nor even made a fourth at Bridge.

LEMEGETON VEL CLAVICULA SALOMONIS REGIS.
THE PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF MAGIC. l

MAGIC is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine Knowledge of

Natural Philosophy, advanced in its works and wonderful operations by a
right understanding of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that true
Agents 2 being applied to proper Patients,! strange and admirable effects
will thereby be produced. Whence magicians are profound and diligent
searchers into Nature: they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate
an effort,4 the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle.
Origen saith that the Magical Art doth not contain anything subsisting,
but although it should, yet that it must not be Evil, or subject to contempt or
scorn: and doth distinguish the Natural Magic from that which is Dt'a-
oolical.
Apollonius Tyanaeus only exercised the Natural Magic, by the which
he did perform wonderful things.
Philo Hebraeus saith that true Magic, by which we do arrive at the
understanding of the Secret Works of Nature, is so far from oeing con-
temptible that the greatest Monarchs and Kings have studied it. Nay!
among the Persians none might reign unless he was skilful in this GREAT
ART.
This Noble Science often degenerateth, from Natural becometh Dia-
ool£Cal, and from True Pht'losophy turneth unto' Nt'gromancy.6 The which
is wholly to be charged upon its followers, who, abusing or not being capable
of that High and Mystical Knowledge do immediately hearken unto the
temptations of Sathan, and are misled by him into the Study of the Black

than the body of the work.

Art. Hence it is that Magic lieth under disgrace, and they who seek after
it are vulgarly esteemed Sorcerers.
The Fraternity of the Rosie Crusians thought it not fit to style them-
selves Magicians, but rather Philosophers. And they be not ignorant
Empiricks,l but learned and experienced Physicians, whose remedies be not
only Lawful but Div1,ne.

THE BRIEF INTRODUCTORY DESCRIPTION.

(N.B. This is taken from several MS. Codices, of which the four principal
variations are here composed together in parallel columns as an example of
the close agreement of the various texts of the Lemegeton.
For in the whole work the differences in the wording of the various
Codices are not sufficient to require the constant giving of parallel readings;
but except in the more ancient examples there is much deterioration in the
Seals and Sigi1s, so that in this latter respect the more recent exemplars are
not entirely reliable.)

 Now in this Book LEMEGETON is contained the whole Art of King Solo-
mon. And although there be many other Books that are said to be his, yet
none is to be compared hereunto, for this containeth them all. Though
there be titles with several other N ames of the Book, as THE BOOK H ELISOL,
which is the very same with this last Book of Lemegeton called ARs NOVA
or ARs N OTARIA, etc.
These Books were first found in the Chaldee and Hebrew Tongues at
Jerusalem by a Jewish Rabbi; and by him put into the Greek language
and thence into the Latin, as it is said.1
1 The first only of these five books is here published: the astral opposition incidental to

the publication of any magical writing is not to be blamed for this; but the engorgement of the
translator in a matter of other import, as previously hinted. The true life of this man and his
associates, with a veridic account of their researches into magical arts, etc., may be looked for
in my forthcoming volume:
.. History of the Order of the Golden Dawn." -ED.

as hereafter followeth. And if he doth not enter into the triangle, A, at
your threats, rehearse the Bonds and Charms before him, and then he will

THESE be the 72 Mighty Kings and Princes which King Solomon Com-
manded into a Vessel of Brass, together with their Legions. Of whom
BELIAL, BILETH, ASMODAY, and GAAP, were Chief. And it is to be noted
that Solomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other
reason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up
and sealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep
Lake or Hole in Babylon. And they of Babylon, wondering to see such a
thing, they did then go wholly into the Lake, to break the Vessel open,
expecting to find great store of Treasure therein. But when they had
broken it open, out flew the Chief Spirits immediately, with their Legions
following them; and they were all restored to their former places except
BELIAL, who entered into a certain Image, and thence gave answers unto
those who did offer Sacrifices unto him, and did worship the Image as their
God, etc.

OBSERVATIONS.
FIRST, thou shalt know and observe the Moon's Age for thy working. The
best days be when the Moon Luna is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 days old, as
Solomon saith; and no other days be profitable. The Seals of the 72 Kings
are to be made in Metals. The Chief Kings' in Sol (Gold); Marquises' in
Luna (Silver); Dukes' in Venus (Copper); Prelacies' in Jupiter (Tin);
Knights' in Saturn (Lead); Presidents' in Mercury (Mercury); Earls' in
Venus (Copper), and Luna (Silver), alike equal, etc.

THESE 72 Kings be under the Power of AMAYMON, CORSON, ZIMIMAY or

ZIMINIAR, and GOAP, who are the Four Great Kings ruling in the Four
Quarters, or Cardinal Points, 1 viz.: East, West, North, and South, and are
not to be called forth except it be upon Great Occasions; but are to be
Invocated and Commanded to send such or such a Spirit that is under their
1 These four Great Kings are usually called Oriens, or Uri ens, Paymon or Paymonia,

Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon. By the Rabbins they are frequently entitled:
Samael, Azazel, Azael, and Mahazael.
Power and Rule, as is shown in the following Invocations or Conjurations.
And the Chief Kings may be bound from 9 till 12 o'clock at Noon, and
from 3 till sunset; Marquises may be bound from 3 in the afternoon till 9
at Night, and from 9 at Night till Sunrise; Dukes may be bound from
Sunrise till Noonday in Clear Weather; Prelates may be bound any hour
of the Day; Knights may from Dawning of Day till Sunrise, or from
4 o'clock till Sunset; Presidents may be bound at any time, excepting
Twilight, at Night, unless the King whom they are under be Invocated ;
and Counties or Earls any hour of the Day, so it be in Woods, or in any
other places whither men resort not, or where no noise is, etc.

NOTE.-It will be remarked that several among the above Spirits pos-
sess two titles of different ranks: e.g., (45.) Vine is both King and Earl;
(25.) Glasya-Labolas is both President and Earl, etc. "Prince" and" Pre-
late" are apparently used as interchangeable terms. Probably the Seals of
Earls should be made in Iron, and those of Presidents in mixture either of
Copper and Silver, or of Silver and Mercury; as otherwise the Metal of
one Planet, Mars, is excluded from the List; the Metals attributed to the
Seven Planets being: to Saturn, Lead; to Jupiter, Tin; to Mars, Iron; to
the Sun, Gold; to Venus, Copper; to Mercury, Mercury and mixtures of
Metals, and to Luna, Silver.

IN a manuscript codex by Dr. Rudd, which is in the British Museum,
Hebrew names of these 72 Spirits are given; but it appears to me that
many are manifestly incorrect in orthography. The codex in question,
though beautifully written, also contains many other errors, particularly in
the Sigils. Such as they are, these names in the Hebrew of Dr. Rudd are
here shown. (See Figures 8 I to I 52 inc/us£ve.)

THE MAGICAL CIRCLE.

THIS is the Form of the Magical Circle of King Solomon, the which he
made that he might preserve himself therein from the malice of these Evil
Spirits. (See Frontispiece, Figure 153.) This Magical Circle is to be made
9 feet across, and the Divine Names are to be written round it, beginning
at EHYEH, and ending at LEVANAH, Luna.
(Colours.-The space between the outer and inner circles, where the
serpent is coiled, with the Hebrew names written along his body, is bright
deep yellow. The square in the centre of the circle, where the word
" Master" is written, is filled in with red. All names and letters are in black.
In the Hexagrams the outer triangles where the letters A, D, 0, N, A, I,
appear are filled in with bright yellow, the centres, where the T -shaped
crosses are, blue or green. In the Pentagrams outside the circle, the outer
triangles where "Te, tra, gram, rna, ton," is written are filled in bright
yellow, and the centres with the T crosses written therein are red. l )
1 The coiled serpent is only shown in one private codex, the Hebrew names being in most

cases simply written round in a somewhat spiral arrangement within the double circle. It is to
be remembered that Hebrew is always written from right to left, instead of from left to right
like ordinary European languages. The small Maltese crosses are placed to mark the conclusion
of each separate set of Hebrew names. These names are those of Deity Angels and Archangels
allotted by the Qabalists to each of the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations. In English
letters they run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent: + Ehyeh Kether Metatron
Chaioth Ha-Qadesh Rashith Ha-Galgalim S.P.M. (for "Sphere of the Primum Mobile") +
lah Chokmah Ratziel Auphanim ~Iasloth S.S.F. (for" Sphere of the Fixed Stars," or S.Z. for
"Sphere of the Zodiac") + lehovah Elohim Binah Tzaphquiel Aralim Shabbathai S. (for

34
 THE MAGICAL TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON.
THIs is the Form of the Magical Triangle, into the which Solomon did
command the Evil Spirits. It is to be made at 2 feet distance from the
Magical Circle and it is 3 feet across. (See Frontispt"ece Ft"gure 154.) Note
that this triangle is to be placed toward that quarter whereunto the Spirit
belongeth. And the base of the triangle is to be nearest unto the Circle,
the apex Rointing in the direction of the quarter of the Spirit. Observe
thou also the Moon in thy working, as aforesaid, etc. Anaphaxeton is
sometimes written Anepheneton.
(Colours.-Triangle outlined in black; name of Michael black on
white ground; the three Names without the triangle written in red; circle in
centre entirely filled in in dark green.)

THE HEXAGRAM OF SOLOMON.

THIs is the Form of the Hexagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be
made on parchment of a calfs skin, and worn at the skirt of thy white vest-
ment, and covered with a cloth of fine linen white and pure, the which is to
be shown unto the Spirits when they do appear, so that they be compelled
to take human shape upon them and be obedient.
(Colours.-Circle, Hexagram, and T cross in centre outlined in black,
Maltese crosses black; the five exterior triangles of the Hexagram where
T e, tra, gram, ma, ton, is written, are filled in with bright yellow; the T
cross in centre is red, with the three little squares therein in black. The
lower exterior triangle, where the Sigil is drawn in black, is left white. The
words "Tetragrammaton" and "Tau" are in black letters; and AGLA
with Alpha and Omega in red letters.)

THE PENTAGRAM OF SOLOMON .

THIS is the Form of the Pentagram of Solomon, the figure whereof is to be
made in Sol or Luna (Gold or Silver), and worn upon thy breast; having
el Malakim Shemesh S. of the Sun + Iehovah Tzabaoth Netzach Haniel Elohim Nogah S. of
Venus. + Elohim Tzabaoth Hod Michael Beni Elohim Kokav S. of Mercury + Shaddai: EI
Chai Iesod Gabriel Cherubim Levanah S. of the Moon +.
35
the Seal of the Spirit required upon the other side thereof. It is to preserve
thee from danger, and also to command the Spirits by.
(Colours.-Circle and pentagram outlined in black. N ames and
Sigils within Pentagram black also. " T etragrammaton" in red letters.
Ground of centre of Pentagram, where "Soluzen" is written, green. Ex-
ternal angles of Pentagram where" Abdia," "Ballaton," " Halliza," etc., are
written, blue.)

THE MAGIC RING OR DISC OF SOLOMON.

THIS is the Form of the Magic Ring, or rather Disc, of Solomon, the figure
whereof is to be made in gold or silver. It is to be held before the face of
the exorcist to preserve him from the stinking sulphurous fumes and
flaming breath of the Evil Spirits.
(Colour.-Bright yellow. Letters, black.)

THE VESSEL OF BRASS.

THIS is the Form of the Vessel of Brass wherein King Solomon did shut up
the Evil Spirits, etc. (See Ft'gures 158 and 159.) (Somewhat different
forms are given in the various codices. The seal in Figure 160 was made
in brass to cover this vessel with at the top. This history of the genii shut
up in the brazen vessel by King Solomon recalls the story of "The Fisher-
man and the Jinni" in "The Arabian Nights." In this tale, however,
there was only one jinni shut up in a vessel of yellow brass the which was
covered at the top with a leaden seal. This jinni tells the fisherman that
his name is Sakhr, or Sacar.)
(Colour.-Bronze. Letters.-Black on a red band.)

THE SECRET SEAL OF SOLOMON.

THIS is the Form of the Secret Seal of Solomon, wherewith he did bind and
seal up the aforesaid Spirits with their legions in the Vessel of Brass.
This seal is to be made by one that is clean both inwardly .and out-
wardly, and that hath not defiled himself by any woman in the space of a
36
month, but hath in prayer and fasting desired of God to forgive him all his
sins, etc.
It is to be made on the day of Mars or Saturn (Tuesday or Saturday)
at night at 12 o'clock, and written upon virgin parchment with the blood of
a black cock that never trode hen. Note that on this night the moon must
be increasing in light (i. e. going from new to full) and in the ZOlliacal Sign
of Virgo. And when the seal is so made thou shalt perfume it with alum,
raisins dried in the sun, dates, cedar, and lignum aloes.
Also by this seal King Solomon did command all the aforesaid Spirits
into the Vessel of Brass, and did seal it up with this same seal. He by it
gained the love of all manner of persons, and overcame in battle, for neither
weapons, nor fire, nor water could hurt him. And this privy seal was made
to cover the vessel at the top withal, etc.

Note: Figures 162 to 174 inclusive are interesting as showing a

marked resemblance to the central design of the Secret Seal. It will be
observed that the evident desire is to represent hieroglyphically a person
raising his or her hands in adoration. Nearly all are stone sepulchral
steles, and the execution of them is rough and primitive in the extreme.
Most are in the M usee du Louvre at Paris.
Figures 162 and 163 are from the district of Constantine and show a
figure raising its arms in adoration.
In Figure 164, also from Constantine, the person bears a palm branch
in the right hand. Above is a hieroglyphic representing either the Lunar
Disc or the Sun in the heavens; but more probably the former.
Figure 165 is a more complicated stele. Above is the symbol already
mentioned, then comes the sign of the Pentagram, represented by a five-
pointed star, towards which the person raises his or her hands. Besides the
latter is a rude form of caduceus. A brief inscription follows in the Punic
character. The Punic or Carthaginian language is usually considered to
have been a dialect of Phcenician, and Carthage was of course a colony of
Tyre. Beneath the Punic inscription is a horse's head in better drawing
than the sculpture of the rest of the stele, which would seem to imply that
the rudeness of the representation of the human figure is intentional. This
and the following stele are also from Constantine.
In Figure 166 again, the horse is best delineated by far. In addition to
37
the other symbols there is either a hand or a foot, for it is almost impossible
to distinguish which, at the head of the stele, followed by an egg-and-
tongue moulding. The figure of the person with the arms raised is treated
as a pure hieroglyphic and is placed between two rude caducei. The Lunar
or Solar symbol follows.
Figure 167, also from Constantine, shows the last-mentioned symbol
above. The figure with the arms raised is simply a hieroglyph, and is placed
between an arm and hand on the one side, and a rude caduceus on the other.
Figure 168 shows the person holding a rude caduceus in the right
hand, and standing above a dolphin. This latter, as in the case of the
horse in 165 and 166, is by far the best delineated.
Figure 169, this also being from Constantine, shows the usual human
hieroglyph between a caduceus and a crescent.
Figure 170 is from the site of ancient Carthage. It is very rough in
workmanship, and the designs are mere scratchings on the stone. The
ensemble has the effect of an evil Sigil.
Figure 171 is also from Carthage and the various symbols appear to
have become compressed into and synthesised in the form of a peculiarly
evil-looking caduceus.
Figure 172 is from the decoration of a sepulchral urn found at Olden-
burgh in Germany. It is remarkable as showing the same hieroglyphic
human form with the crescent above; the latter in the Secret Seal of
Solomon has a flattened top, and is therefore more like a bowl, and is
placed across the hieroglyph.
Figure 173 is an Egyptian design which would show an analogy be-
tween the symbol and the idea of the force of the creation.
Figure 174 is a stele from Phrenicia somewhat similar to the others,
except that the rudimentary caducei in Figures 166 and 170 are here re-
placed by two roughly drawn Ionic columns.
These last three designs are taken from the work of the Chevalier
Emile Soldi-Colbert de Beaulieu, on the" Langue Sur/e."
In Figure 1 7 5 is given the Seal of the Spirit HALAHEL. This Spirit is
said to be under the rule of BAEL, and to be of a mixed nature, partly good
and partly evil, like the spirits of Theurgia-Goetia which follow in the second
book of the Lemegeton.

 THE OTHER MAGICAL REQUISITES.
THE other magical requisites are: a sceptre, a sword, a mitre, a cap, a long
white robe of linen, and other garments for the purpose; 1 also a girdle of
lion's skin three inches broad, with all the names written about it which be
round the outmost part of the Magical Circle. Also perfumes, and a chafing-
dish of charcoal kindled to put the fumes on, to smoke or perfume the place
appointed for action; also anointing oil to anoint thy temples and thine eyes
with; and fair water to wash thyself in. And in so doing, thou shalt say as
David said:
THE ADORATION AT THE BATH.
"THOU shalt purge me with hyssop, 0 Lord! and I shall be clean:
Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."
And at the putting on of thy garments thou shalt say:

THE ADORATION AT THE INDUING OF THE VESTMENTS.

"By the figurative mystery of these holy vestures (or of this holy
vestment) I will clothe me with the armour of salvation in the strength of
the Most High, ANCOR; AMACOR; AMIDES; THEODONIAS; ANITOR; that my
desired end may be effected through Thy strength, 0 ADONAI! unto Whom
the praise and glory will for ever and ever belong! Amen! "

After thou hast so done, make prayers unto God according unto thy
work, as Solomon hath commanded.

THE CONJURATION TO CALL FORTH ANY OF

THE AFORESAID SPIRITS.
I DO invocate and conjure thee, 0 Spirit, N.lI; and being with power
armed from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by
BERALANENSIS, BALDACHIENSIS, P AUMACHIA, and ApOLOGIlE SEDES; by the
most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidre, and Ministers of the Tartarean
1 In many codices it is written "a sceptre or sword, a mitre or cap." By the" other
garments" would be meant not only under-garments, but also mantles of different colours.
2 Here interpolate the name of the Spirit desired to be invocated. In some of the codices
there are faint variations in the form of wording of the conjurations, but not sufficient to change
the sense, e.g., "Tartarean abode" for" Tartarean seat," etc.
39
Abode; and by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion,
I do invoke thee, and by invocating conjure thee. And being armed with
power from the SUPREME MAJESTY, I do strongly command thee, by Him
Who spake and it was done, and unto whom all creatures be obedient. Also
I, being made after the image of GOD, endued with power from GOD, and
created according unto His will, do exorcise thee by that most mighty and
powerful name of GOD, EL, strong and wonderful; 0 thou Spirit N. And
I command thee by Him who spake the Word and His FIAT was accom-
plished, and by all the names of GOD. Also by the names ADONAI, EL,
ELOHIM, ELOHl, EHYEH ASHER EHYEH, ZABAOTH, ELION, IAH, TETRA-
GRAMMATON, SHADDAI, LORD GOD MOST HIGH, I do exorcise thee and do
powerfully command thee, 0 thou spirit N., that thou dost forthwith appear
unto me here before this Circle in a fair human shape, without any deformity
or tortuosity. And by this ineffable name, TETRAGRAMMATON IEHOVAH, do
I command thee, at the which being heard the elements are overthrown,
the air is shaken, the sea runneth back, the fire is quenched, the earth
trembleth, and all the hosts of the celestials, terrestrials, and infemals do
tremble together, and are troubled and confounded. Wherefore come thou,
o Spirit N., forthwith, and without delay, from any or all parts of the
world wherever thou mayest be, and make rational answers unto all things
that I shall demand of thee. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably,
now, and without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire. F or thou
art conjured by the name of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, HELIOREN, where-
fore fulfil thou my commands, and persist thou therein unto the end, and
according unto mine interest, visibly and affably speaking unto me with
a voice clear and intelligible without any ambiguity.
REPEAT this conjuration as often as thou pleasest, and if the Spirit
come not yet, say as followeth:

THE SECOND CONJURATION.

I DO invocate, conjure, and command thee, 0 thou Spirit N., to appear and
to show thyself visibly unto me before this Circle in fair and comely shape,
without any deformity or tortuosity; by the name and in the name IAH and
V AU, which Adam heard and spake; and by the name of GOD, AGLA, which
40
Lot heard and was saved with his family; and by the name 10TH, which
Jacob heard from the angel wrestling with him, and was delivered from the
hand of Esau his brother; and by the name ANAPHAXETON 1 which Aaron
heard and spake and was made wise; and by the name ZABAOTH,2 which
Moses named and all the rivers were turned into blood; and by the name
ASHER EHYEH ORISTON, which Moses named, and all the rivers brought
forth frogs, and they ascended into the houses, destroying all things; and
by the name ELION, which Moses named, and there was great hail such as
had not been since the beginning of the world; and by the name ADONAI,
which Moses named, and there came up locusts, which appeared upon the
whole land, and devoured all which the hail had left; and by the name
SCHEMA AMATHIA which Joshua called upon, and the sun stayed his course;
and by the name ALPHA and OMEGA, which Daniel named, and destroyed
Bel, and slew the Dragon; and in the name EMMANUEL, which the three
children, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, sang in the midst of the fiery
furnace, and were delivered; and by the name HAGIos; and by the SEAL 3
OF ADONAI; and by ISCHYROS, ATHANATos, PARACLETOS; and by 0 THEOS,
ICTRos, ATHANATos; and by these three secret names, AGLA, ON, TETRA-
GRAMMATON, do I adjure and constrain thee. And by these names, and by
all the other names of the LIVING and TRUE GOD, the LORD ALMIGHTY, I
do exorcise and command thee, 0 Spirit N., even by Him Who spake the
Word and it was done, and to Whom all creatures are obedient; and by the
dreadful judgments of GOD; and by the uncertain Sea of Glass, which is
before the DIVINE MAJESTY, mighty and powerful; by the four beasts before
the throne, having eyes before and behind; by the fire round about the
throne; by the holy angels of Heaven; and by the mighty wisdom of GOD;
I do potently exorcise thee, that thou appearest here before this Circle, to
fulfil my will in all things which shall seem good unto me; by the Seal of
BASDATHEA BALDACHIA; and by this name PRIMEUMATON, which Moses
named, and the earth opened, and did swallow up Kora, Dathan, and
Abiram. Wherefore thou shalt make faithful answers unto all my demands,

1 Or" Anapezeton."
2 Or .. Tzabaoth."
a In some" By the Seat of Adonai" or "By the Throne of Adonai." In these conjurations
and elsewhere in the body of the text I have given the divine names as correctly as possible.
41
o Spirit N., and shalt perform all my desires so far as in thine office thou
art capable hereof. Wherefore, come thou, visibly, peaceably, and affably,
now without delay, to manifest that which I desire, speaking with a clear
and perfect voice, intelligibly, and to mine understanding.

IF HE come not yet at the rehearsal of these two first conjurations (but with-
out doubt he will), say on as followeth; it being a constraint:

THE CONSTRAINT.
I DO conjure thee, 0 thou Spirit N., by all the most glorious and efficacious
names of the MOST GREAT AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE LORD GOD OF HOSTS,
that thou comest quickly and without delay from all parts and places of the
earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make rational answers unto
my demands, and that visibly and affably, speaking with a voice intelligible
unto mine understanding as aforesaid I conjure and constrain thee, 0
thou Spirit N., by all the names aforesaid; and in addition by these seven
great names wherewith Solomon the Wise bound thee and thy companions
in a Vessel of Brass, ADONAI, PREYAI or PRERAI, TETRAGRAMMATON, ANA-
PHAXETON or ANEPHENEToN, INESSENFATOAL or INESSENFATALL, PATHTUMON
or PATHATUMON, and ITEMON; that thou appearest here before this Circle to
fulfil my will in all things that seem good unto me. And if thou be still so
disobedient, and refusest still to come, I will in the power and by the
power of the name of the SUPREME AND EVERLASTING LORD GOD Who
created both thee and me and all the world in six days, and what is con-
tained therein, EIE, SARAYE, and by the power of this name PRIMEUMATON
which commandeth the whole host of Heaven, curse thee, and deprive
thee of thine office, joy, and place, and bind thee in the depths of the
Bottomless Pit or Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of the Last Judg-
ment. And I will bind thee in the Eternal Fire, and into the Lake of
Flame and of Brimstone, unless thou comest quickly and appearest here
before this Circle to do my will. Therefore, come thou I in and by the holy
names ADONAI, ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN. Come thou! for it is ADONAI
who commandest thee.
 IF THOU hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not, thou mayest be
sure that he is sent unto some other place by his King, and cannot come;
and if it be so, invocate the King as here followeth, to send him. But if he
do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in chains in
hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so, and thou still hast
a desire to call him even from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse
which is called the Spirits' Chain.
Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King: 1

THE INVOCATION OF THE KING.

o THOU great, powerful, and mighty King AMAIMON, who bearest rule by
the power of the SUPREME GOD EL over all spirits both superior and inferior
of the Infernal Orders in the Dominion of the East; I do invocate and
command thee by the especial and true name of GOD; and by that God
that Thou Worshippest; and by the Seal of thy creation; and by the
most mighty and powerful name of GOD, JEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON who
cast thee out of heaven with all other infernal spirits; and by all the most
powerful and great names of GOD who created Heaven, and Earth, and
Hell, and all things in them contained; and by their power and virtue; and
by the name PRIMEUMATON who commandeth the whole host of Heaven;
that thou may est cause, enforce, and compel the Spirit N. to come unto me
here before this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without harm unto me or
unto any other creature, to answer truly and faithfully unto all my requests;
so that I may accomplish my will and desire in knowing or obtaining any
matter or thing which by office thou knowest is proper for him to perform
or accomplish, through the power of GOD, EL, Who created and doth
dispose of all things both celestial, aerial, terrestrial, and infernal.

AFTER thou shalt have invocated the King in this manner twice or
thrice over, then conjure the spirit thou wouldest call forth by the aforesaid
conjurations, rehearsing them several times together, and he will come
without doubt, if not at the first or second time of rehearsing. But if he do
1 It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which of the four chief

kings is to be invoked.
43
not come, add the" Spirits' Chain" unto the end of the aforesaid conjura-
tions, and he will be forced to come, even if he be bound in chains, for the
chains must break off from him, and he will be at liberty:

THE GENERAL CURSE, CALLED THE SPIRITS' CHAIN,

AGAINST ALL SPIRITS THAT REBEL.
o THOU wicked and disobedient spirit N., because thou hast rebelled, and
hast not obeyed nor regarded my words which I have rehearsed; they
being all glorious and incomprehensible names of the true GOD, the maker
and creator of thee and of me, and of all the world; I DO by the power of
these names the which no creature is able to resist, curse thee into the
depths of the Bottomless Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of Doom in
chains, and in fire and brimstone unquenchable, unless thou forthwith appear
here before this Circle, in this triangle to do my will. And, therefore,
come thou quickly and peaceably, in and by these names of GOD, ADONAJ,
ZABAOTH, ADONAI, AMIORAN; come thou! come thou! for it is the King of
Kings, even ADONAI, who commandeth thee.

WHEN thou shalt have rehearsed thus far, but still he cometh not, then
write thou his seal on parchment and put thou it into a strong black box; 1
with brimstone, assafretida, and such like things that bear a stinking smell ;
and then bind the box up round with an iron wire, and hang it upon the
point of thy sword, and hold it over the fire of charcoal; and say as
followeth unto the fire first, it being placed toward that quarter whence the
Spirit is to come:

THE CONJURATION OF THE FIRE.

I CONJURe thee,O fire, by him who made thee and all other creatures for
good in the world, that thou torment, burn, and consume this Spirit N., for
everlasting. I condemn thee, thou Spirit N., because thou art disobedient
and obeyest not my commandment, nor keepest the precepts of the LORD
THY GOD, neither wilt thou obey me nor mine invocations, having thereby
I This box should evidently be in metal or in something which does not take fire easily.
44
called thee forth, I, who am the servant of the MOST HIGH AND IMPERIAL
LORD GOD OF HOSTS, JEHOVAH, I who am dignified and fortified by His
celestial power and permission, and yet thou com est not to answer these
my propositions here made unto thee. F or the which thine averseness and
contempt thou art guilty of great disobedience and rebellion, and therefore
shall I excommunicate thee, and destroy thy name and seal, the which I
have enclosed in this box; and shall burn thee in the immortal fire and
bury thee in immortal oblivion; unless thou immediately come and appear
visibly and affably, friendly and courteously here unto me before this Circle,
in this triangle, in a form comely and fair, and in no wise terrible, hurtful,
or frightful to me or any other creature whatsoever upon the face of earth.
And thou shalt make rational answers unto my requests, and perform all
my desires in all things, that I shall make unto thee.

AND if he come not even yet, thou shalt say as followeth:

THE GREATER CURSE.1

Now, 0 thou Spirit N., since thou art still pernicious and disobedient, and
wilt not appear unto me to answer unto such things as I would have
desired of thee, or would have been satisfied in; I do in the name, and
by the power and dignity of the Omnipresent and Immortal Lord God of
Hosts JEHOVAH TETRAGRAMMATON, the only creator of Heaven, and Earth,
and Hell, and all that is therein, who is the marvellous Disposer of all
things both visible and invisible, curse thee, and deprive thee of all
thine office, joy, and place; and I do bind thee in the depths of the
Bottomless Abyss there to remain until the Day of Judgment, I say into
the Lake of Fire and Brimstone which is prepared for all rebellious,
disobedient, obstinate, and pernicious spirits. Let all the company of
Heaven curse thee! Let the sun, moon, and all the stars curse thee!
Let the LIGHT and all the hosts of Heaven curse thee into the fire
unquenchable, and into the torments unspeakable. And as thy name and
seal contained in this box chained and bound up, shall be choked in sul-
1 In some codices this is called" the Curse" only; but in one or two the" Spirits' Chain"

is called" the Lesser Curse," and this the" Greater Curse."

45
phurous stinking substances, and burned in this material fire; so in the
name IEHOVAH and by the power and dignity of these three names, TETRA-
GRAMMATON, ANAPHAXETON, and PRIMEUMATON, I do cast thee, 0 thou
wicked and disobedient Spirit N., into the Lake of Fire which is prepared
for the damned and accursed spirits, and there to remain unto the day of
doom, and never more to be remembered before the face of GOD, who shall
come to judge the quick, and the dead, and the world, by fire.

THEN the exorcist must put the box into the fire, and by-and-by the
Spirit will come, but as soon as he is come, quench the fire that the box is
in, and make a sweet perfume, and give him welcome and a kind entertain-
ment, showing unto him the Pentacle that is at the bottom of your vesture
covered with a linen cloth, saying:

THE ADDRESS UNTO THE SPIRIT UPON HIS COMING.

BEHOLD thy confusion if thou refusest to be obedient! Behold the Pentacle
of Solomon which I have brought here before thy presence I Behold the
person of the exorcist in the midst of the exorcism; him who is armed by
GOD and without fear; him who potently invocateth thee and calleth thee
forth unto appearance; even him, thy master, who is called OCTINOMOS.
Wherefore make rational answer unto my demands, and prepare to be
obedient unto thy master in the name of the Lord:
BATHAL OR VATHAT RUSHING UPON ABRAC!
ABEOR COMING UPON ABERER! 1

THEN he or they will be obedient, and bid thee ask what thou wilt, for
he or they be subjected by God to fulfil our desires and commands. And
when he or they shall have appeared and showed himself or themselves
humble and meek, then shalt thou rehearse:

THE WELCOME UNTO THE SPIRIT.

\VELCOME Spirit N., 0 most noble king' (or kings)! I say thou art
welcome unto me, because I have called thee through Him who hast
1 In the Latin, "Bathal vel Vathat super Abrac ruens! Abeor veniens super Aberer!"
• Or whatever his dignity may be.
created Heaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all that is in them contained, and
because also thou hast obeyed. By that same power by the which I have
called thee forth, I bind thee, that thou remain affably and visibly here
before this Circle (or before this Circle and in this triangle) so constant and
so long as I shall have occasion for thy presence; and not to depart without
my licence until thou hast duly and faithfully performed my will without any
falsity.

THEN standing in the midst of the Circle, thou shalt stretch forth thine
hand in a gesture of command and say:
"By THE PENTACLE OF SOLOMON HAVE I CALLED THEE! GIVE UNTO ME
A TRUE ANSWER."
Then let the exorcist state his desires and requests.
And when the evocation is finished thou shalt licence the Spirit to
depart thus:

THE LICENCE TO DEPART.

o THOU Spirit N., because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands,
and hast been very ready and willing to come at my call, I do here licence
thee to depart unto thy proper place; without causing harm or danger unto
man or beast. Depart, then, I say, and be thou very ready to come at my
call, being duly exorcised and conjured by the sacred rites of magic. I
charge thee to withdraw peaceably and quietly, and the peace of GOD be
ever continued between thee and me ! AMEN!

AFTER thou hast given the Spirit licence to depart, thou art not to go out
of the circle until he or they be gone, and until thou shalt have made
prayers and rendered thanks unto God for the great blessings He hath
bestowed upon thee in granting thy desires, and delivering thee from all the
malice of the enemy the devil.
Also note! Thou mayest command these spirits into the Vessel of
Brass in the same manner as thou dost into the triangle, by saying: "that
thou dost forthwith appear before this Circle, in this Vessel of Brass, in a fair
and comely shape," etc., as hath been shown in the foregoing conjurations.
