Pamersiel, first spirit of the east

Pamersiel is the first spirit of the east serving under the dominion of Carnesiel. He is particularly summoned for the purpose of driving dark spirits and energies from the conjuror before they can impart any harm. Pamersiel is not mentioned among most mainstream grimorie with his most notable appearance occuring within the second book of Lemegeton (Ars Theurgia) in the Lesser Key of King Solomon. He is considered one of the thirty-one aerial spirits of King Solomon.

Pamersiel has 1,000 lesser demons serving under his command and no dukes whatsoever. Of these subordinate demons, the Ars Theurgia makes mention of the following in addition to providing their respective sigils for practice: Anoyr, Madriel, Ebra, Sotheano, Abrulges, Ormenu, Itules, Rablion, Hamorphiel, Itrasbiel, and Nadrel. His subordinates are described as being overtly evil and it is necessary to engage with caution. It is also said that these demons cannot be trusted with secrets.

Pamersiel, as well as his accompanying demons, can be summoned at any time whether day or night posing a possible duality in his nature – he can be described as being both nocturnal and diurnal. Despite the evil nature of these accompanying demons, they are quite effective in the removal of dark spirits as well as ridding haunted places of ghostly presences. He is also bestowed with a host of divine magical abilities which can also be harnessed for use within witchcraft.

Summoning Pamersiel requires one to find an especially airy place due to the demon’s strong association with the element of air. This can be either indoors or outdoors however depending on the preferences of the conjuror. The demon can be summoned into a crystal ball or a glass receptacle for receiving and binding to the conjuror. Due to the evil nature of the servitors of Pamersiel, it is forbidden to err during his invocation. This subsequently calls for only experienced conjurors to attempt the ritual.

History

The first mentions of this demon are within the Ars Theurgia as previously mentioned. This book forms the second book of Lemegeton and is heavily derived from the works of Johannes Trithemius in the form of the Steganographia which was published in 1499. Pamersiel is mentioned alongside demons of a similar rank and his sigil provided.

There are otherwise no mentions of this demon within early Middle Eastern and ancient Graeco-Roman mythologies. As a fallen angel however, it is plausible that Pamersiel was once a popular pagan deity who was castigated into hell with the advent of Christianity and Judeo-Christian inclinations throughout the Middle Ages.

When to summon Pamersiel

Items Required:

  • Four inch diameter crystal stone / Glass receptacle
  • Table of Solomon made in the artistic model shown below
  • The sigil of the demon worn on one’s chest
  • Girdle tied on the waist of the conjuror

Ritual Time: The demon may be summoned during both the day and night provided the conditions are satisfied and the place airy. The ability to manifest during both the day and night poses the possibility of him being both diurnal and nocturnal.

Precautions:

  • This demon is very potent given his large contingent of servitors who are described as being effectively evil. It is therefore necessary to accord him the utmost respect during rituals while he should only be invoked by experienced conjurors.
  • The conjuror should take care to protect themselves from otherworldly energies by mentally visualizing a protection circle, opening, and entering it.
  • It is also important to remember to use demonic powers with reservation to prevent building over-reliance.

Steps:

  • The conjuror should prepare for the ritual by engaging in meditation or other forms of breathing exercise to balance energies.
  • The ritual should be conducted in a very airy place such as the most spacey room in the house or some other hidden place.
  • The conjuror must wear the sigil of the demon on the chest and tie the girdle prior to beginning the ritual.
  • The following conjuration prayer should be said multiple times until the demon manifests within the crystal stone or glass receptacle: “We Conjure thee O Pamersiel, a Cheefe Spirit. Ruling in the East“.
  • The conjuror can then begin their work with the demon or his servitors once they manifest.
