Amy

Amy, also known as Avnas, teaches astrology to those who desire this of him and he bestows knowledge of the sciences. He desires that mankind advance towards greatness.

As the 58th spirit of the Goetia, it is said that he manifests as a flaming fire when a person first calls him but then changes to the figure of a man. He reveals treasures, bestows familiars, and provokes authority figures to give a positive judgement.

Amy’s element is fire and if you are constructing an altar for him you might consider the colours red and black in regards to candles and cloth. On my altar, the image I have is a figure of a man wearing a cloak with Amy’s sigil drawn in front of it. The dagger has a black handle and the chalice is glass. I have also included the symbol of my astrological sign because of his astrological knowledge. I use musk incense, and for offerings I use blood, beer, and snake skin.
