Ars Paulina pt. II: the Nativity Angel

The Second part of this Book of Solomon of the Art of Pauline, is as followeth:

This second part contains the Mystical names of the Angels of the Signs in general & also the Angels of every degree of the signs in general, which is called the Angels of men, because that in some one of these signs & degrees every man is born in, therefore he that knows the minutes of his birth, he may know the name of the Angel that governs him, & thereby he may attain to All Arts & Sciences yea, to all the wisdom & knowledge that any mortal man can desire in this world. But note this, that these Angels that are attributed to the fire hath more knowledge therein than any other, and those of the water hath more knowledge therein than any other, and also those of the earth hath knowledge therein than any other, and likewise those of the air. And to know which belongs to the fire, earth, air & water, observe the nature of the signs & you cannot err, for those that is attributed Aries is of the same nature Fiery, & so the like in the rest, but if any planet be in that degree that ascends, then that Angel is of the nature of the sign & planet both, & observe the following method & you cannot but obtain your desire &c.

Here Followeth a Table of the Signs & Planets & their Natures

So when you know the Angel that governs the sign & degree of your Nativity & having the seal ready that belongs to that sign & degree as is showed before, then you are next to understand what order he is of, as is showed herein the following part.

First these genijs that belong to the Fiery Region, that is and governed by Michael the great Angel who is one of the Chief Messengers of God, who is toward the South, therefore these genijs are to be observed in the first hour of a Sunday & at the 8th. hour, also at the 3rd. & 10th. at night, directing yourself toward that quarter, they appear in Royal Apparel holding scepters in their hands, and riding on a Lyon or a Cock, their robes are of red & saffron color & most comely, they assume the shape Crowned Queen & very beautiful to behold.

Secondly these genijs that are attributed to &  are of the Earthly Regions & are governed by Vriel who hath 3 Princes to attend him (viz) Asaiel, Sochiel & Cassiel. Therefore the genijs that are Attributed to him & these signs are to be observed in the West. They appear like Kings, having green & silver robes, or like little children or women delighting in hunting, & they are to be observed on Saturday in the 1st. & 8th. hours of the day & the 3rd. & 10th. of the night, in those hours you are with privacy to obtain your desires directing yourself towards the west as aforesaid.

Thirdly those genijs that are attributed to & are of the Airy Region whose soverign is called Raphiel, who hath under him 2 princes called Seraphiel & Miel. Therefore these genijs are attributed to him & those signs are to be observed towards the East, on a Wednesday the 1st. hour of the day & 8th., at night the 3rd. & 10th. hours. They appear as Kings or beautiful young men in robes of diverse colors but mostly like women transcendently handsome by reason of their admirable whiteness & beauty.

Fourthly & lastly, these genijs that are attributed to  &  are of the Watery Regions & are governed by Gabriel who hath under him Samael, Madiel & Mael. Therefore these Genijs that are under these signs & are governed by Gabriel are to be observed on Mondays, towards the North at the 1st. & 8th. hours of the day & at night at the 3rd. & 10th. hours. They appear like Kings having green & silver robes or like little children or women delighting in hunting.

So in the next place, we are to observe the season of the year according to the constellations of the Celestial Bodies, otherwise we shall loose our labor, for if a genijs be of the Igneal Hierarchy its in vain to observe him in any other season but when the enters these signs which is of his nature, that is [aries] [leo] & [sagittarius]. So if it be a genij of the Earth, he is to be observed when the  enters  & , & so the like in the rest. Otherwise thus: those genijs that are of the order of Fire are to be observed in the Summer Quarter & those of the Earth in Autumn, those of the Air in Spring, & those of the Water in Winter quarter. Their offices is to do all things that are just & lawful in the sight of the great God Jehovah & what is for our good & what shall concern the protection of our lives or beings or wellbeings & the doing good to our neighbors.

Now he that hath a desire to see his genijs ought to prepare himself accordingly. Now if his genijs be of the Fire, his demands must be for the conservation of his body or person, that he receive no hurt from or by any fire, arms or guns or the like. & having a seal suitable ready prepared he is to wear it when he hath a desire to see his genijs that he may confirm it to him, that for the time to come he may not fail of his assistance & protection upon any occasion. But if his genijs be Aireal, he reconcileth mens natures, increaseth love & affection between them & causeth the desired love of Kings & Princes & secretly promotes Marriages. & therefore he that hath such a genius before he observes him shall prepare a seal suitable to his order, that he may have it confirmed by him in the day & hour of observation, whereof he shall see strange & wonderful effects. & so the like of the other 2 hierarchies.

& when the time is come that you would see your genijs, turn your face to that quarter the sign there is. & that, with prayer to God (they being composed to your fancy but suitable to the matter at hand) there thou shalt find him & having found him, sincerely acknowledge him, do your duty. Then will he, as being benign & sociable, illuminate your mind, taking away all that is obscure & dark in thy memory & make you knowing in all Sciences sacred & divine in an instant.

[Below is] A form of prayer which ought to be said upon that coast or quarter where the genijs is several times, it being an Exorcism to call the genij into the Crystal Stone. Note this prayer may be altered to the mind of the worker, for it is here set for an example.

The Prayer

“O thou great & blessed N my Angel Guardian, vouchsafe to descend from thy Holy mansion which is Celestial with thy holy influence & presence into this Crystal Stone, that I may behold thy glory & enjoy thy society, Aid & Assistance both now & forever hereafter, O thou that art higher than the 4th. heaven & knowest the secrets of Elanel, thou that ridest upon the wings of the wind & art mighty & potent in thy Celestial & supersublunary motion, do thou descend & be present I pray thee, I humbly desire & Intreat thee that if ever I have merited thy society or if any of my actions or intentions be real & pure & sanctified before thee, bring thy external presence hither & converse with me, one of thy submissive pupils, in & by the name of the great God Jehovah, whereunto the whole choir of heaven sings continually O Alappa-la-man Hallelujah, Amen.”

When you have said this prayer over several times, as occasion serveth, you will at last see strange lights & passages in the stone & at last you will see your genius, then give him a kind entertainment as you were before directed, declaring unto him your mind & what you would have done.

So Endeth The Book Pauline
