+This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
+
+to make the world's books discoverable online. 
+
+It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
+
+to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
+
+are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

+WABNINGI'. The student is warned, and most seriously 
+admonishedi to forbear from devoting his time to a study of 
+cheap and inaccurate copies of this book which we understand 
+are now being offered for sale. The price at which this book 
+is sold is unquestionably a small one, and those who obtain it 
+for less run the risk of becoming confused by studying a book 
+which has not been properly translated and edited. This book 
+has been published under the editorship of Dr. de Laurence, 
+who, without doubt, is more competent for a task of this kind 
+than any living man. 
+
+
+
+NOTICE TO THE STUDENT. 
+
+It is not always convenient for the student to obtain any of the 
+precious metals, such as gold or silver to trace their Talismans 
+and Seals upon. In fact, metal is used very little today for this 
+purpose, and most everybody uses Virgin Parchment Paper, made 
+from the skin of new-born lambs, as it is much more satisfactory. 
+Again, it is many times difficult for the student to obtain any of 
+the different things which are to be used for burning and making 
+a suitable fumigation for the invocation of Spirits and Occult 
+powers. Indeed, there are few who use anything now except gen- 
+uine Oriental Temple Incense, for it is much better than any of the 
+things recommended to bum by certain writers in their books on 
+Magic. Both the Parchment Paper and the Temple Incense can 
+be obtained of Messrs. de Laurence, Scott & Company, and it is 
+fully described in their large Catalogue of Occult and Spiritual 
+books.

+This translation of the First Book of the ^^Lemege- 
+ton'' which is now for the first time made accessible to 
+students of Talismanic Magic was done, after careful 
+collation and edition, from numerous Ancient Manu^ 
+scripts in Hebrew, Latin, and French, by G. H. Fr<i. 
+D.D.C.P., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosi- 
+crucian Order* The G. H. Fra., having succumbed 
+unhappily to the assaults of the Four Oreat Princes 
+(acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed 
+expedient that the work should be brought to its conclu- 
+sion by another hand. The investigation of a compe- 
+tent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., con- 
+firmed this divination ; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic 
+Mul. were there seen ; but only the terrible shapes of the 
+evil Adepts S.V.A.t and H., whose original bodies having

+p. 426) : ^'I beg leave to warn my readers that all persons who 
+proclaim themselves to be Bosicrudans 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! " It is within the Editor *8 personal knowledge that Mr. 
+Waite was (and still is probably) a member of a society claiming 
+to be the B.C. fraternity As Mr, Waite constantly hints in his 
+writing that he is in touch with initiated centres, I think the 
+syllogism, whose premises are given above, is fair, if not quite 
+formal. — Ed. 
+
+fit 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 author- 
+ity 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.)

+THE INITIATED INTERPRETATION OF 
+CEREMONIAL MAGIC. 
+
+It is loftily amusing to the student of Magical litera- 
+ture who is not quite a fool— and rare is such a com- 
+bination ! — ^to note the criticism directed by the Philistine 
+against the citadel of his science. Truly, since our child- 
+hood 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 docu- 
+ments from the standpoint of folk-lore and anthropology, 
+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 
+companion volume, even if we are the luck holders of 
+Burton's veritable edition. 
+
+
+
+10 GK)ETIA 
+
+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 
+^'magicaV phenomena; 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 some cause.^ 
+
+Now, this fact is our base. What is the cause of my 
+illusion of seeing a spirit in the triangle of Art ? 
+
+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 
+Fichte, 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 Chitakasa. 
+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,* 
+we must include illusions, which are after all sense- 
+impressions as much as ** realities" are, in the class of 
+** phenomena 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. 
+
+1 This, incidentally, is perhaps the greatest argument we pos- 
+sess, pushed to its extreme, against the Advaitist theories. 
+
+2 Thought is a secretion of the brain (Weissmann). Conscious- 
+ness is a function of the brain (Huxley).

+
+These unusual impressions (1-5) produce unusual 
+brain-changes; hence their summary (6) is of unusual 
+kind. Its projection back into the apparently phenome- 
+nal world is therefore unusual. 
+
+Herein then consists the reality of the operations and 
+effects of ceremonial magic,^ and I conceive that the 
+apology is ample, as far as the ** 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. 
+

+
+
+
+12 GK)ETIA 
+
+Their seals therefore represent (Mr. Spencer's pro- 
+jected cube) methods of stimulating or regulating those 
+particular spots (through the eye). 
+
+The names of God are vibrations calculated to estab- 
+lish: 
+
+(a) Greneral control of the brain. (Establishment of 
+functions relative to the subtle world.) 
+
+(6) 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 log- 
+ical faculty may be stimulated and developed by follow- 
+ing 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 Science can only 
+suspend judgment, pending a proper and methodical 
+investigation of the facts alleged. 
+
+Unfortunately, we cannot stop there. Solomon prom- 
+ises us that we can (1) obtain information; (2) destroy 
+our enemies; (3) understand the voices of nature; (4) 
+obtain treasure; (5) heal diseases, etc. I have taken 
+
+

+THE LESSER KEY 13 
+
+these five powers at random ; considerations of space for- 
+bid me to explain all. 
+
+(1) 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 cat's miauling and purr- 
+ing. 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 obedi- 
+ence 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 ex- 
+periments, and whoso will carry them through intelli- 
+gently 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

+PRELIMINARY DEFINITION OF MAGIC. 
+
+Lemegeton Yel Clavicula Salomonis Regis. 
+
+Magic is the Highest, most Absolute, and most Divine 
+Knowledge of Natural Philosophy/ advanced in its 
+works and wonderful operations by a right understand- 
+ing of the inward and occult virtue of things; so that 
+true Agents^ being applied to /proper Patients,* strange 
+and admirable effects will thereby be produced. Whence 
+magicians are profound and diligent searchers into Na- 
+ture ; they, because of their skill, know how to anticipate 
+an effort,* 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 
+Diabolical, 
+
+ApoUonius Tyannaeus 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 being contemptible that the great- 
+est Monarchs and Kings have studied it. Nay! among 
+the Persians none might reign unless he was skilful in 
+this Great Art. 
+
+^This Preliminary Definition of Magic is found in very few 
+Codices, and is probably later than the l^dy of the work.

+
+This Noble Science often degenerateth, from Natutvl 
+becometh Diabolical, and from True Philosophy tumeth 
+Tinto Nigro'irumcy} 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 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 themselves Magicians, but father Philosophers. 
+And they be not ignorant Empiricks,^ but learned and 
+experienced Physicians, whose remedies be not only 
+Lawful but Divine. 
+
+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; l^ut except in the 
+more ancient examples there is much deterioration in 
+the Seals and Sigils, so that in this latter respect the 
+more recent exemplars are not entirely reliable.)

+
+Solomon Commanded 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 Solo- 
+mon 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 Le- 
+gions 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 Sat- 
+urn (Lead) ; Presidents' in Mercury (Mercury) ; Earls' 
+in Venus (Copper), and Luna (Silver), alike equal, etc. 
+These 72 Kings be under the Power of Amaymon, Cor- 
+son, ZiMiMAY or Ziminair, and Goap, who are the Four 
+Great Kings ruling in the Four Quarters, or Cardinal 
+Points,^ viz. : East, West, North, and South, and are not

+Chief Bangs 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

+rise, or from 4 o'clock till Sunset; Presidents may be 
+bound 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 
+xioise is, etc.

+(45.) Vine is both King and Earl; (25.) Glasya-Labolas 
+is botli President and Earl, etc. *' Prince" and '* Pre- 
+late'' are apparently used as interchangeable terms. 
+Probably the Seals of Earls should be made of Iron, and 
+those of Presidents in mixture either of Copper and Sil- 
+ver, 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 ;

+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, par- 
+ticularly in the Sigils. Such as they are, these names in 
+
+
+
+THE LESSER KEY 49 
+
+the Hebrew of Dr. Budd are here shown. {See Figures 
+81 to 152 inclusive.) 
+
+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 Frontis- 
+piece, Figure 153.) This Magical Circle is to be made 
+9 feet across, and the Divine Names are to be written 
+around it, beginning at EHYEH, and ending at 
+LEVANAH, Luna. 
+
+(Colours. — The space between the outer and inner cir- 
+cles, 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, o, 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, ma, ton," is written, are 
+filled in bright yellow, and the centres with the T crosses 
+written therein are red.^) 
+
+THE MAGICAL TEIANGLE OF SOLOMON. 
+
+This is the Form of the Magical Triangle, into the 
+which Solomon did conmiand the Evil Spirits. It is to 
+be made at 2 feet distance from the Magical Circle and 
+it is 3 feet across. {See Frontispiece Figure 154.) Note 
+
+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, 
+
+
+
+50 GOETIA 
+
+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 point- 
+ing 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 calf's skin, and 
+worn at the skirt of thy white vestment, 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, Hexagon, and T cross in centre out- 
+lined in black, Maltese crosses black; the five exterior 
+
+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 Qabsdists to each of 
+the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations. In English letters they 
+run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent: + Ehyeh

+triangles of the Hexagram where Te, 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 *'Tetragram- 
+maton'* and **Tau'' are in black letters; and AGLA 
+with Alpha and Omega in red letters.) 
+
+THE PENTAGRAM OF SOLOMON. 
+
+This is the Form of Pentagram of Solomon, the figure 
+whereof is to be made in Sol or Luna (Gold or Silver), 
+and worn upon thy breast ; having 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. 
+Names and Sigils within Pentagram black also. '*Tetra- 
+grammaton" in red letters. Ground of centre of Penta- 
+gram, where **Soluzen'' is written, green. External 
+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 sil- 
+ver. 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 Figures 
+158 and 159.) (Somewhat diflPerent forms are given in 
+
+
+
+52 GOETIA 
+
+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 Solo- 
+mon recalls the story of **The Fisherman 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, where- 
+with 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 in- 
+wardly and outwardly, and that hath not defiled himself 
+by any woman in the space of a month, but hath in 
+prayer and fasting desired of God to forgive him aU his 
+sins, etc. 
+
+It is to be made on the day of Mars or Saturn (Tues- 
+day 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 Zodiacal 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 in 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 
+
+
+
+THE LESSER KEY 53 
+
+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 hieroglyphicaUy 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 Musee du 
+Louvre at Paris. 
+
+Figures 162 and 163 are from the district of Constan- 
+tine 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 hierogly- 
+phic 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 Car- 
+thaginian language is usually considered to have been a 
+dialect of Phoenician, and Carthage was of course a col- 
+ony of Tyre. Beneath the Tunic 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 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 
+
+
+
+54 GOETIA 
+
+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-men- 
+tioned 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 eflPect of 
+an evil Sigil. 
+
+Figure 171 is also from Carthage and the various sym- 
+bols appear to have become compressed into and syn- 
+thesised in the form of a peculiarly evil-looking caduceus. 
+
+Figure 172 is from the decoration of a sepulchral urn 
+found at Oldenburgh 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 between the symbol and the idea of the force 
+of the creation. 
+
+Figure 174 is a stele from Phoenicia somewhat similar 
+to the others, except that the rudimentary caducei in 
+Figures 166 and 170 are here replaced by two roughly 
+drawn Ionic columns. 
+
+
+
+THE LESSER KEY 55 
+
+These last three designs are taken from the work of 
+the Chevalier Emile Soldi-Colbert de Beaulieu^ on the 
+'^Langue Sacree.'' 
+
+In Figure 175 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-Gtoetia 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 gar- 
+ments for the purpose;^ 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, Lord! and I 
+shall be clean : Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter

+And at the putting on of thy garments thou shalt say : 
+The Adoration at the Induing op 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, Anchor; 
+

+perform all my desires so far as in thine office thou art 
+capable hereof. Wherefore, come thou, visibly, peace-

+Incomprehensible Lord God op Hosts, that thou comest. 
+quickly and without delay from all parts and places of 
+the earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make

+that thou appearest here before this Circle to fulfil my

+Last Judgment. 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 ! in and 
+by the holy names Adonai, Zabaoth, Adonai, Amioran. 
+Come thou ! for it is Adonai who conmiandest 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 foUoweth, 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 foUoweth, therefore, the Invocation of the King: ^

+THOU great, powerful, and mighty King Amaimon,

+the name Primeumaton who commandeth the whole host 
+of Heaven ; that thou mayest 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

+which by office thou knowest is proper for him to perform 
+or accomplish, through the power of God, El, Who cre- 
+ated and doth dispose of all things both celestial, aerial, 
+terrestrial, and infernal. 
+
+After thou shalt have invocated the King in this man- 
+ner twice or thrice over, then conjure the spirit thou 
+wouldst call forth by the aforesaid conjurations, re- 
+hearsing them several times together, and he will come 
+without doubt, if not at the first or second time of re- 
+hearsing. But if he do not come, add the ** Spirits'

+THOU wicked and disobedient spirit N., because thou

+incomprehensible names of the true God, the maker and

+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

+is the King of Kings, even Adonai, who commandeth

+When thou shalt have rehearsed thus far, but still he 
+Cometh not, then write thou his seal on parchment and

+Welcome Spirit N., most noble king * (or kings) ! I

+through Him who has 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 license until thou hast duly and faithfully 
+performed my will without any falsity.

+stretch forth thine hand in a gesture of command and

+destroy the name N. and the seal N., which I have 
+placed in this dwelling of poison, and I burn thee 
+in fire whose end cannot be; and I cast thee down 
+unto the seas of torment, out of which thou shalt 
+not rise until thou come to my eyes: visit me in 
+peace: be friendly before the circle in the A in the 
+24th of a moment in the likeness of a man not unto

+
+TE GRETER CURSE. 
+
+Hearken to me, ye Heavens 1 thou Spirit N. 
+because thou art the disobedient one who is wicked 
+and appearest not, speaking the secrets of truth 
+according to the living breath; I, exalted in the 
+power of God, the All-powerful, the center of the 
+circle, powerful God who liveth, whose end cannot 
+be, lehevohe Tetragrammaton, the only creator of 
+heaven, earth, and dwelling of darkness and all 
+that is in their palaces; who disposeth in secret 
+wisdom of all things in darkness and light: Curse 
+thee and cast thee down and destroy thy seat, joy 
+and power, and I bind thee in the depths of Abad- 
+don, to remain until the day of judgment whose 
+end cannot be, I say, unto the seas of fire and sul-

+that obey not; the sons of iniquity. 
+
+Let the company of heaven curse thee I 
+
+Let the sun, moon, all the stars curse thee! 
+
+Let the light and all the Holy Ones of Heaven 
+curse thee unto the burning flame that liveth for 
+ever, and unto the torment unspeakable! 
+
+And even as thy name and seal, which I have 
+put in this dwelling of poison, shall be in torment 
+among creatures of sulphur and bitter sting, burn- 
+ing in fire of earth, in them lehevohe and exalted 
+in power in these three names, Tetragrammaton 
+Anaphaxeton, Primeumaton, I cast thee down, 
+wicked spirit N. unto the seas of fire and sulphur 
+which are prepared for the wicked spirits that 
+obey not, the sons of iniquity, to remain until the 
+day of judgment; let the Mercies of God forget 
+thee; let the fa^ce of God forget the face of N. who

+be the balance of justice over the sons of living 
+breath and death and the world, by fire.
