| 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]; 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.
"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; And, therefore, come thou quickly and peaceably, in and by these names of God, Adonai, Zabaoth, Adonai, Amioran; 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: |
