Magic; Occultism
To protect him from the flaming breath of the enraged Spirit; the
design is given at the end of the instructions for the Magical Circle,
etc., later on in the Goetia.
Footnote 15:
In some Codices written Morax, but I consider the above the correct
orthography.
Footnote 16:
Figure 30.
Footnote 17:
Figure 31.
Footnote 18:
See _ante_, Spirit No. 13.
Footnote 19:
One or two Codices have “invincible,” but “invisible” is given in the
majority. Yet the form of appearance of Foras as a strong man might
warrant the former, though from the nature of his offices the
invincibility would probably be rather on the mental than on the
physical plane.
Footnote 20:
In one Codex of the seventeenth century, very badly written, it might
be read “Ox” instead of “Wolf.”—TRANS. [For me he appeared always like
an ox, and very dazed.—ED.]
Footnote 21:
Or Warriors, or Men-at-Arms.
Footnote 22:
Or “with the Head of a Lion,” or “having a Lion’s Head,” in some
Codices.
Footnote 23:
He can nowadays converse in sound though colloquial Coptic.—ED.
Footnote 24:
Or Warrior.
Footnote 25:
Thus expressed in the Codices.
Footnote 26:
Should be 30. For these 72 Great Spirits of the Book Goetia are all
Princes and Leaders of numbers.
Footnote 27:
Thus in the actual Text.
Footnote 28:
Or “with the Face of a Lion.”
Footnote 29:
The horse, or the Markis?—ED.
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.
