Cabariel, twelfth spirit in order

Cabariel is one of the thirty-one aerial spirits of King Solomon who are mentioned within the Lesser Key of King Solomon. More specifically, this demon is mentioned within the Ars Theurgia as the twelfth spirit in order but fourth under the King of the West. He is described as a mighty prince with dominion over the dominion of west and by north. This demon is accompanied by fifty great dukes serving under his command during the day and a similar number during the night.

Of the servitors of Cabariel, the Ars Theurgia makes mention of only ten nocturnal and diurnal entities for the purposes of practice. It is also stated that the great dukes who accompany Cabariel whenever he is summoned have numerous lesser demons serving under their command although exact number of these hordes is unspecified. However, the ten demons belonging to each nocturnal and diurnal set of great dukes mentioned as accompanying Cabariel have fifty servitors apiece.

The identities of the ten diurnal great dukes who accompany Cabariel whenever he is invoked are Satifiel, Parius, Godiel, Taros, Asoriel, Etimiel, Clyssan, Elitel, Aniel, Cuphal. These day demons are described as being good natured and willing to obey the conjuror under the behest of their master. On the other hand, the identities of the ten nocturnal great dukes who accompany Cabariel whenever he is called forth are Mador, Peniel, Cugiel, Thalbus, Otim, Ladiel, Morias, Pandor, Cazul, Dubiel. These night demons are described as evil and will conspire to deceive the conjuror whenever the possibility arises.

This demon can be summoned and bound in a manner akin to the other aerial spirits of King Solomon. This is through the use of a glass receptacle or a crystal stone placed on top of a magical table. This demon has divine magical capabilities given his identity as a fallen angel – these can be harnessed for use within one’s magic thereby placing them at a considerable advantage. The dual nature of his servitors should also be keenly taken into consideration and only experienced conjurors should attempt to invoke Cabariel under the cover of night.

History

Like the other aerial spirits of King Solomon, Cabariel is a fallen angel having lost his lofty status after war broke out in heaven. His entry in the Ars Theurgia is likewise obtained from works of Johannes Trithemius in 1499. More specifically, Cabariel’s history is mostly traceable to the Steganographia which was published in the aforementioned year.

He is mentioned in the Lesser Key of King Solomon along the twenty foregoing servitors and their seals provided for practice purposes. There are otherwise no mentions of Cabariel within olden Graeco-Roman or ancient Middle-Eastern mythologies. It is possible that he was an ancient pagan god who was demonized with the growth of Christianity throughout the Middle Ages.

Attributes of Cabariel

  • The nocturnal servitors of this demon are described as evil and being deceitful whenever the opportunity arises. The summoning of this demon during the night should only be attempted by experienced conjurors.
  • Conversely, the day demons who accompany Cabariel are reported to be good natured and obedient towards the conjuror. This means that the demon can be invoked by fairly inexperienced mediums during the day without much risk.
  • Like the other aerial spirits of King Solomon, Cabariel is bestowed with vast divine magical abilities which one can use within their work. He can be called forth to advise the conjuror on spiritual affairs or provide counsel on magical matters.

When to summon Cabariel

The divine magical abilities of Cabariel can be employed to a great advantage by conjurors. During the day, his benevolent tendencies can be employed for good purposes such as divination whereas his malevolent attributes can be used in a clandestine manner during the nighttime.

Items Required:

  • The seal of the demon worn on the chest
  • Four inch diameter crystal stone / Glass receptacle
  • Girdle should be tied around the waist of the conjuror
  • Table of Solomon designed in the artistic model shown

Ritual Time: This demon is both diurnal and nocturnal and can be summoned at both times. It is however important to note that inexperienced persons should only summon him during the day to avoid the risk of deceit. Experienced conjurors can attempt to call forth Cabariel at night albeit for malevolent purposes.

Precautions:

  • Before starting the ritual, the conjuror should take care to protect themselves from otherworldly energies by mentally visualizing a protection circle, opening, and entering it.
  • This demon is very potent given his high ranking under Amenadiel and his numerous servitors. It is necessary to show him respect especially during the night ritual to increase the likelihood of desirable outcomes while minimizing the chance of malevolence.

Steps:

  • The medium should prepare for the ritual by balancing their energies through the use of meditation.
  • The ritual must be done in an airy environment given Cabariel’s strong association with the element of air.
  • Before starting the ritual, the medium must wear the seal of the demon on the chest and a girdle must be tied around the waist.
  • The following prayer should be said until the demon manifests within either the glass receptacle or a crystal stone: “We Conjure thee O thou mighty & potent Prince Cabariel & who ruleth as king in the North & by West.”
  • The medium should state their queries before allowing the demon to work and then dismissing him respectfully.
