Magic; Occultism
NOTE.—It will be remarked that several among the above Spirits possess
two titles of different ranks; _e.g._, (45.) Viné is both King and Earl;
(25.) Glasya-Labolas is both President and Earl, etc. “Prince” and
“Prelate” 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 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 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 Frontispiece, 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 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, 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.[31])
