Magic; Occultism
(9) PAIMON.—The Ninth Spirit in this Order is Paimon, a Great King, and
very obedient unto LUCIFER. He appeareth in the form of a Man sitting
upon a Dromedary with a Crown most glorious upon his head. There goeth
before him also an Host of Spirits, like Men with Trumpets and well
sounding Cymbals, and all other sorts of Musical Instruments. He hath a
great Voice, and roareth at his first coming, and his speech is such
that the Magician cannot well understand unless he can compel him. This
Spirit can teach all Arts and Sciences, and other secret things. He can
discover unto thee what the Earth is, and what holdeth it up in the
Waters; and what Mind is, and where it is; or any other thing thou
mayest desire to know. He giveth Dignity, and confirmeth the same. He
bindeth or maketh any man subject unto the Magician if he so desire it.
He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts. He is to be
observed towards the West. He is of the Order of Dominations.[13] He
hath under him 200 Legions of Spirits, and part of them are of the Order
of Angels, and the other part of Potentates. Now if thou callest this
Spirit Paimon alone, thou must make him some offering; and there will
attend him two Kings called LABAL and ABALIM, and also other Spirits who
be of the Order of Potentates in his Host, and 25 Legions. And those
Spirits which be subject unto them are not always with them unless the
Magician do compel them. His Character is this which must be worn as a
Lamen before thee, etc.
(10.) BUER.—The Tenth Spirit is Buer, a Great President. He appeareth in
Sagittary, and that is his shape when the Sun is there. He teaches
Philosophy, both Moral and Natural, and the Logic Art, and also the
Virtues of all Herbs and Plants. He healeth all distempers in man, and
giveth good Familiars. He governeth 50 Legions of Spirits, and his
Character of obedience is this, which thou must wear when thou callest
him forth unto appearance.
(11.) GUSION.—The Eleventh Spirit in order is a great and strong Duke,
called Gusion. He appeareth like a Xenopilus. He telleth all things,
Past, Present, and to Come, and showeth the meaning and resolution of
all questions thou mayest ask. He conciliateth and reconcileth
friendships, and giveth Honour and Dignity unto any. He ruleth over 40
Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, the which wear thou as aforesaid.
(12.) SITRI.—The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and
appeareth at first with a Leopard’s head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but
after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human
shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women’s love, and
Women with Men’s love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if
it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to
be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.
