Magic; Occultism
Welcome Spirit N., O most noble king[39] (or kings)! I say thou art
welcome unto me, because I have called thee 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.
Then standing in the midst of the Circle, thou shall stretch forth thine
hand in a gesture of command and say:
“BY THE PENTACLE OF SOLOMON HAVE I CALLED THEE! GIVE UNTO ME A TRUE
ANSWER.”
Then let the exorcist state his desires and requests.
And when the evocation is finished thou shalt license the Spirit to
depart thus:
THE LICENSE TO DEPART.
O thou Spirit N., because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands,
and hast been very ready and willing to come at my call, I do here
license thee to depart unto thy proper place; without causing harm or
danger unto man or beast. Depart, then, I say, and be thou very ready to
come at my call, being duly exorcised and conjured by the sacred rites
of magic. I charge thee to withdraw peaceably and quietly, and the peace
of GOD be ever continued between thee and me! AMEN!
After thou hast given the Spirit license to depart, thou art not to go
out of the circle until he or they be gone, and until thou shalt have
made prayers and rendered thanks unto God for the great blessings He
hath bestowed upon thee in granting thy desires, and delivering thee
from all the malice of the enemy the devil.
Also note! Thou mayest command these spirits into the Vessel of Brass in
the same manner as thou dost into the triangle, by saying: “that thou
dost forthwith appear before this Circle, in this Vessel of Brass, in a
fair and comely shape,” etc., as hath been shown in the fore-going
conjurations.
Footnote 33:
Here interpolate the name of the Spirit desired to be invocated. In
some of the Codices there are faint variations in the form of wording
of the conjurations, but not sufficient to change the sense, _e. g._,
“Tartarean abode” for “Tartarean seat,” etc.
Footnote 34:
In some “By the Seat of Adonai” or “By the Throne of Adonai.” In these
conjurations and elsewhere in the body of the text I have given the
divine names correctly.
Footnote 35:
It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which
of the four chief kings are to be invoked.
Footnote 36:
This box should evidently be in metal or in something which does not
take fire easily.
Footnote 37:
In some codices this is called “the Curse” only; but in one or two the
“Spirits’ Chain” is called “the Lesser Curse,” and this the “Greater
Curse.”
