Magic; Occultism
(32.) ASMODAY.—The Thirty-second Spirit is Asmoday, or Asmodai. He is a
Great King, Strong, and Powerful. He appeareth with Three Heads, whereof
the first is like a Bull, the second like a Man, and the third like a
Ram; he hath also the tail of a Serpent, and from his mouth issue Flames
of Fire. His Feet are webbed like those of a Goose. He sitteth upon an
Infernal Dragon, and beareth in his hand a Lance with a Banner. He is
first and choicest under the Power of AMAYMON, he goeth before all
other. When the Exorcist hath a mind to call him, let it be abroad, and
let him stand on his feet all the time of action, with his Cap or
Head-dress off; for if it be on, AMAYMON will deceive him and call all
his actions to be bewrayed. But as soon as the Exorcist seeth Asmoday in
the shape aforesaid, he shall call him by his Name, saying: “Art thou
Asmoday?” and he will not deny it, and by-and-by he will bow down unto
the ground. He giveth the Ring of Virtues; he teacheth the Arts of
Arithmetic, Astronomy, Geometry, and all handicrafts absolutely. He
giveth true and full answers unto thy demands. He maketh one Invincible.
He showeth the place where Treasures lie, and guardeth it. He, amongst
the Legions of AMAYMON governeth 72 Legions of Spirits Inferior. His
Seal is this which thou must wear as a Lamen upon thy breast, etc.
(33.) GAAP.—The Thirty-third Spirit is Gäap. He is a Great President and
a Mighty Prince. He appeareth when the Sun is in some of the Southern
Signs, in a Human Shape, going before Four Great and Mighty Kings, as if
he were a Guide to conduct them along on their way. His Office is to
make men Insensible or Ignorant; as also in Philosophy to make them
Knowing, and in all the Liberal Sciences. He can cause Love or Hatred,
also he can teach thee to consecrate those things that belong to the
Dominion of AMAYMON his King. He can deliver Familiars out of the
Custody of other Magicians, and answereth truly and perfectly of things
Past, Present, and to Come. He can carry and re-carry men very speedily
from one Kingdom to another, at the Will and Pleasure of the Exorcist.
He ruleth over 66 Legions of Spirits, and he was of the Order of
Potentates. His Seal is this to be made and to be worn as aforesaid,
etc.
(34.) FURFUR.—The Thirty-fourth Spirit is Furfur. He is a Great and
Mighty Earl, appearing in the Form of an Hart with a Fiery Tail. He
never speaketh truth unless he be compelled, or brought up within a
triangle, △. Being therein, he will take upon himself the Form of an
Angel. Being bidden, he speaketh with a hoarse voice. Also he will
wittingly urge Love between Man and Woman. He can raise Lightnings and
Thunders, Blasts, and Great Tempestuous Storms. And he giveth True
Answers both of Things Secret and Divine, if commanded. He ruleth over
26 Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this, etc.
