The Goetia Conjuring Method from The Lesser Key of Solomon
The ritual contained within these pages is the original version, not the black arts version. Many people have created their own version of the Goetia summoning ritual, for Demonaltary, Luciferianism, and the Dark Arts.
TIP #1:
If you intend to call any Spirit to the circle, you must research:
- the spirits nature
- Know to which of the planets it agrees
- Know what offices are distributed to him from the planet.
TIP #2:
This being known, find a place fit and proper for his evocation, according to the nature of the planet and the quality of the offices of the same spirit. For example, if his power be over the sea, rivers or floods, then choose a place on the shore.
TIP #3:
The form of the circle is not always one and the same. There are a few versions of the Magick Circle – and all are ok and can produce good results. It is according to the order of the Spirits that are to be called, their places, times, days and hours. Before making a Circle, it ought to be considered in what time of the year, what day, and what hour, that you make the Circle; what Spirits you would call, to what Star and Region they do belong, and what functions they have. When the Circle is finished, you shall proceed.
TIP #4:
the operator is to be provided with lights, perfumes, unguents and medicines compounded according to the nature of the planet and spirit, which do agree with the spirit. The operator can also be furnished with holy and consecrated things for the defense of the master and his fellows. Such are holy papers, lamens, pictures, pentacles, swords, sceptres and garments.
TIP #5:
Say the conjuration with a loud voice and a convenient gesture and countenance.
For example:
I invoke and conjure thee, O spirit (name of the spirit), and, fortified with the power of the Supreme Majesty,
I strongly command thee by BARALAMENSIS, BALDACHIENSIS, PAUMACHIE, APOLORESEDES and the most potent princes GENIO, LIACHIDE, Ministers of the Tartarean Seat, chief princes of the seat of APOLOGIA in the ninth region;
I exorcise and command thee, O Spirit N., by Him Who spake and it was done, by the Most Holy and glorious Names ADONAI, EL, ELOHIM, ELOHE, ZEBAOTH, ELION, ESCHERCE, JAH, TETRAGRAMMATON, SADAI:
do thou forthwith appear and shew thyself unto me, here before this circle, in a fair and human shape, without any deformity or horror; do thou come forthwith, from whateverpart of the world, and make rational answers to my questions;
come presently, come visibly, come affably, manifest that which I desire, being conjured by the Name of the Eternal, Living and True God, HELIOREM;
I conjure thee also by the particular and true Name of thy God to whom thou owest thine obedience; by the name of the King who rules over thee, do thou come without tarrying; come, fulfil my desires; persist unto the end, according, to mine intentions.
TIP #6:
Let him then rest a little, looking about him to see if any spirit do appear, which if he delay, let him repeat his conjuration as before, until he has done it three times. If the Spirit be still pertinacious and will not appear, let him begin to conjure him with divine power, but in such a way that all the conjurations and commemorations do agree with the nature and offices of the spirit himself. Reiterate the same three times, from stronger to stronger, using objurgations, contumelies, curings and punishments.
TIP #7:
After all the courses are finished, again cease a little, and if any spirit shall appear, let the master turn towards him, receive him courteously, and, earnestly entreating him, let him require his name. Then proceeding further, let him ask whatsoever he will.
But if in anything the spirit shall shew himself obstinate or lying, let him be bound by convenient conjurations, and if you still doubt of any lie, make outside the circle, with the consecrated sword, the figure of a triangle or pentacle, and compel the Spirit to enter it. If you would have any promise confirmed upon oath, stretch the sword out of the circle, and swear the Spirit by laying his hand upon the sword.
TIP #8:
Then having obtained of the Spirit that which you desire, or being otherwise contented, license him to depart with courteous words, giving command unto him that he do no hurt. If he will not depart, compel him by powerful conjurations, and, if need require, expel him by exorcism and by making contrary fumigation.
TIP #9:
When the spirit departs, do not out of the circle. Focus for a few minutes thinking about your defense and conservation. All these things being orderly performed, you may depart.
