The Constraint, the King, & the Spirits' Chain

The Conjurations; The Constraint, King, & Chain; The Fire & Greater Curse; On Appearance
  • Say the Constraint.
  • If he doesn't appear, he must be sent elsewhere by his King and cannot come. To send him to you, invocate the King (which of the four chief kings is to be invoked depends on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed). After you have invocated the King in this manner two or three times, conjure the spirit by the aforesaid conjurations, rehearsing them several times together.
  • If still he appears not, he is bound in chains in hell and is not in the custody of his King. To call him even from there (he will be forced to come, for the chains must break off of him and he will be at liberty), add the general curse which is called the Spirits’ Chain at the end of the aforesaid conjurations.
    When you have rehearsed thus far, but still he hasn't come, move on to the Conjuration of the Fire.
The Constraint

I do conjure Thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the most glorious and efficacious names of the Most Great and Incomprehensible Lord God of Hosts, that thou comest quickly and without delay from all parts and places of the earth and world wherever thou mayest be, to make rational answer unto my demands, and that visibly and affably, speaking with a voice intelligible unto mine understanding as aforesaid.

I conjure and constrain thee, O thou Spirit N., by all the names aforesaid; and in addition by these seven great names wherewith Solomon the Wise bound thee and thy companions in a Vessel of Brass, Adonai, Prerai, Tetragrammaton, Anaphaxeton, Inessenfatall, Pathatumon, and Itemon; that thou appearest here before this Circle to fulfil my will in all things that seem good unto me.

And if thou be still so disobedient, and refusest still to come, I will in the power and by the power of the name of the Supreme and Everlasting Lord God Who created both Thee and me and all the world in six days, and what is contained therein, Eie, Sarayé, and by the power of this name Primeumaton which commandeth the whole host of Heaven, curse thee, and deprive thee of thine office, joy, and place, and bind thee in the depths of the Bottomless Pit, there to remain unto the Day of the Last Judgement.

And I will bind thee in the Eternal Fire, and into the Lake of Flame and of Brimstone, unless thou comest quickly and appearest here before this Circle to do my will.

Therefore, come Thou! in and by the holy names Adonai, Zabaoth, Adonai, Amioran. Come Thou! for it is Adonai who commandest Thee.

If thou hast come thus far, and yet he appeareth not, thou mayest be sure that he is sent unto some other place by his King, and cannot come; and if it be so, invocate the King as here followeth, to send him. But if he do not come still, then thou mayest be sure that he is bound in chains in hell, and that he is not in the custody of his King. If so, and thou still hast a desire to call him even from thence, thou must rehearse the general curse which is called the Spirits’ Chain. Here followeth, therefore, the Invocation of the King:

The Invocation of the King.

O Thou great, powerful, and mighty King N., who bearest rule by the power of the Supreme God El over all spirits both superior and inferior of the Infernal Order in the Dominion of the [cardinal direction];
I do invocate and command thee by the especial and true name of God; and by that God that Thou Worshippest; and by the Seal of thy creation; and by the most mighty and powerful name of God, Iehovah Tetragrammaton who cast thee out of heaven with all other infernal spirits; and by all the most powerful and great names of God who created Heaven, and Earth, and Hell, and all things in them contained; and by their power and virtue; and by the name Primeumaton who commandeth the whole host of Heaven;
that thou mayest cause, enforce, and compel the Spirit N. to come unto me here before this Circle in a fair and comely shape, without harm unto me or unto any other creature, to answer truly and faithfully unto all my requests; so that I may accomplish my will and desire in knowing or obtaining any matter or thing which by office thou knowest is proper for him to perform or accomplish, through the power of God, El, who created and doth dispose of all things both celestial, aërial, terrestrial, and infernal.

After thou shalt have invocated the King in this manner twice or thrice over, then conjure the spirit thou wouldest call forth by the aforesaid conjurations, rehearsing them several times together, and he will come without doubt, if not at the first or second time of rehearsing. But if he do not come, add the “Spirits’ Chain” unto the end of the aforesaid conjurations, and he will be forced to come, even if he be bound in chains, for the chains must break off from him, and he will be at liberty.
It will depend on the quarter to which the Spirit is attributed, which of the four chief kings is to be invoked.


Goetic Kings

"These 72 Kings are under the Power of Amaymon, Corson, Ziminiar, & Göap, who are the Four Great Kings ruling in the Four Quarters, or Cardinal Points, viz: East, West, North, & South, and are not to be called forth except it be upon Great Occasions; but are to be Invocated and Commanded to send such or such a Spirit that is under their Power and Rule, as is shown in the following Invocations and Conjurations. And the Chief Kings may be bound from 9 till 12 o’clock at Noon, and from 3 till sunset." - Observations

The best I can figure is to use the attribution of each Spirit as a day (the 1st 5°) or night (the 2nd 5°) decan of the Zodiac, and further associating the four seasons with the four cardinal directions based on the (northern hemisphere) direction of the diurnal correlate to the annual season (viz. spring = dawn, summer = noon, &c.), determine which Great King rules which Spirit via their associated Quarters.

The General Curse, Called the Spirits’ Chain, Against All Spirits that Rebel

O Thou wicked and disobedient Spirit N., because thou hast rebelled, and hast not obeyed nor regarded my words which I have rehearsed;
they being all glorious and incomprehensible names of the true God, the maker and creator of thee and of me, and of all the world;
I do, by the power of these names the which no creature is able to resist, curse thee into the depths of the Bottomless Abyss, there to remain unto the Day of Doom in chains, and in fire and brimstone unquenchable, unless thou forthwith appear here before this Circle, in this triangle [or Vessel of Brass] to do my will.

And, therefore, come thou quickly and peaceably, in and by these names of God, Adonai, Zabaoth, Adonai, Amioran;
come thou! come thou! for it is the King of Kings, even Adonai, who commandeth thee.

When thou shalt have rehearsed thus far, but still He cometh not, then write thou his seal on parchment and put thou it into a strong black box; with brimstone, assafoetida, and such like things that bear a stinking smell; and then bind the box up round with iron wire, and hang it upon the point of thy sword, and hold it over the fire of charcoal; and say as followeth unto the fire first, it being placed toward that quarter when the Spirit is to come:
