The Grand Grimoire With the Powerful Clavicle of Solomon, and Black Magic; or, The Infernal Devices of the Great Agrippa for the Discovery of all Hidden Treasures and the Subjugation of every denomination of Spirits; together with an abridgement of all the Magical Arts. --- During the recent Theosophical controversy we have heard much concerning Black Magic. Mr. Judge and his disciples have accused Mrs. Besant of being in some way connected therewith, either actively or as a victim; they have in like manner accused Mr. Chakravarti of being in a peculiar manner a participant in the powers and mysteries of this extraordinary science. Perhaps it will he well for us to afford the readers of THE UNKNOWN WORLD an opportunity to judge for themselves as to the importance and value of the ritual of Black Magic, which was circulated in Europe during the sixteenth and succeeding centuries. The Grand Grimoire, which here follows, is one of a cycle, and is neither better nor worse than its companions. It is translated verbatim from a French work. CHAPTER I. So rare is this great work, so much has it been sought after in these parts, that by reason of its scarcity, one may well call it, with the Rabbinical authors, the veritable Magnum Opus; it is they who have bequeathed to us this priceless original, which innumerable charlatans have impotently endeavoured to counterfeit, in imitation of the genuine book, which they have never succeeded in discovering, and for the appropriation of the money of simpletons who have recourse to the first that offers himself instead of to the fountain-head. The present copy has been transcribed from the genuine writings of the mighty King Solomon, which have been met with by pure chance, this sublime monarch having passed all the days of his life in he most laborious researches and in pursuit of the most obscure and hopeless secrets; but in the end he succeeded in all his undertakings, penetrating even into the most remote haunts of Spirits, whom he bound one and all, and forced them to obey him by the power of his Talisman or Clavicle. Of a truth, what other man, save this invincible genius, would have had the hardihood to reveal the withering words which God makes use of to strike terror into the rebellious Angels and to compel them into obedience? Having soared into the celestial altitudes that he might master the secrets and learn the omnipotent words which constitute all the power of a terrible and venerable Deity, the essence of whose innermost arcana, made use of by an infinite Divinity, was extracted by this grand King, and thereby he has discovered us the Stellar Influences, the constellation of the planets, and the method. for the Evocation of all hierarchies of Spirits, by the recitation of the sublime Apellations as they are hereafter set down for you in this Book, as well as the true composition and effects of the dreadful Blasting Rod which causes the Spirits to tremble, and which God also used to arm His Angel when Adam and Eve were driven out of the Terrestrial Paradise, and wherewith he smote the rebellious Angels, precipitating their ambitions into the most appalling gulfs by the power of this very Rod- this Rod which collects the clouds, which disperses and breaks up tempests, storms, thunderbolts, and precipitates them upon any portion of the Earth at the pleasure of its director. Now, therefore, hereinafter follow the true words which have come forth from his mouth, which I have literally followed, and in which I have experienced all possible delight, doubt, and satisfaction, since I have bad the good fortune to succeed in all my undertakings. (Signed) ANTONIO VENITIANA del Rabina. --- CHAPTER II. OH, men! oh, impotent mortals I tremble at your own temerity when you blindly aspire to the possession of a science so profound. Lift up your minds beyond your limited sphere, and learn of me that before you undertake anything, it is necessary that you should become firm and immoveable, besides being scrupulously attentive in the exact observation, step by step, of all things whatsoever I shall tell you, without which precautions every operation will turn to your disadvantage, confusion, and total destruction; while, on the contrary, by following my injunctions with precision, you will rise from your meanness and poverty, achieving a complete success in all your enterprises. Arm yourselves, therefore, with intrepidity, prudence, wisdom, and virtue, as qualifications for this grand and illimitable Work, in which I have passed sixty and seven years, working night and day for the attainment of success in this sublime object. The faithful performance of all that is hereinafter set down is the indispensable condition of achievement. You must abstain during an entire quarter of the Moon from the society of females, so as to protect yourself from the possibility of impurity. You must commence your magical quarter at the same moment with that of the luminary itself, by a pledge to the Grand Adonay, who is the master of all Spirits, to make no more than two collections daily, that is to say, in every twenty-four hours of the said quarter of the Moon, which collations should be taken at noon and midnight, or, if it better please you, at seven o'clock in the morning and at the corresponding hour in the evening, using the following prayer previously to each repast during the whole of the said quarter. PRAYER. I implore thee, oh, thou grand and powerful Adonay, Master of all Spirits, I beseech thee, 0 Eloim, I implore thee, 0 Jehovam! 0 grand Adonay, I give thee my soul, my heart, my bowels, my hands, my feet, my desires, my entire being! 0 grand Adonay, deign to be favourable unto me! So be it! Amen. Then take your repast; disrobe as seldom and sleep as little possible during the whole of the said period, but meditate continually on your undertaking, centering all your hopes in the infinite goodness of the great Adonay. Afterwards, on the morning which succeeds the first night of the said quarter of the Moon, go to a druggist's and purchase a blood-stone called Ematille, which must be carried contintially about you for fear of accident, and in expectation that henceforth the Spirit whom you propose to compel and to bind will do all in his power to overwhelm you with terror so as to incite you to abandon your enterprise, hoping in this manner to escape from the evils which you are beginning to weave about him. It must be carefully borne in mind that there should be either one or three taking part in the evocation, the Karcist included, who is the person appointed to address the Spirit, holding the Destroying Rod in his hand. Be careful to select as the scene of the evocation a forlorn and isolated spot, where the Karcist will be free from interruption. You must then purchase a virgin kid, and decapitate it on the third day of the Moon, with a garland of vervain wound about the neck, immediately below the head, by means of a green ribbon. Transport the animal to the place chosen for the evocation, and there, with the right arm bared to the shoulder, arming yourself with a blade of pure steel, and having kindled a fire of white wood, recite the following word, in a hopeful and animated manner: INITIAL OFFERING. I immolate this victim to thee, oh ! grant Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, to the honour, glory, and power of thy nature which is superior to all Spirits. 0 grand Adonay! vouchsafe to receive it as an acceptable offering. Amen Here you must cut the throat of the Kid, skin it, set the body on the fire, and reduce it to ashes, which must be collected and cast towards the Rising of the Sun, at the same time repeating the following words: It is to the honour, glory, and dominion of thy name, oh grand Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, that I spill the blood of this victim! Vouchsafe, 0 thou grand Adonay, to receive its ashs as an acceptable sacrifice! While the victim is being consumed by the flames, you may rejoice in the honour and glory of the grand Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, taking care to preserve the skin of the virgin Kid to form the round or Grand Kabbalistic Circle which you must place yourself on he day of the grand enterprise. --- CHAPTER III. Contains the true comtosition of the Mysterious Wand or Destroying Rod. ON the eve of the grand Enterprise, you must go in search of a Wand or Rod of wild hazel which has never borne fruit; its length should be nineteen inches and a half. When you have met with a Wand of he required form, touch it not otherwise than with your eyes; let it stay till the next morning, which is the day of action; then must you cut it absolutely at the moment when the Sun rises; strip it of its leaves and minor branches if any there be, using the same steel blade with which the victim was slain, which will still be stained with its blood, assuming that you have abstained from wiping it. Begin to cut it when the sun is first rising over this hemisphere, pronouncing the following words:- I beseech Thee, 0 grand Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam to be propitious unto me, and to endow this Wand which I am cutting with the power and virtue of those of Jacob, of Moses, and of the mighty Josua! I also beseech Thee, 0 grand Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam to infuse into this Rod the whole strength of Samson, the righteous wrath of Emanuel, and the thunders of powerful Zariatnatmik, who will avenge the crime of men at the great day of judgment! Amen. Having pronounced these sublime and terrific words, and still keeping the eye turned to the quarter of the Rising Sun, you may finish cutting your Rod, and may then carry it to your room. You must then go in search of a piece of wood, which you must fashion to the same size as the two ends of the genuine Rod, and take it to an ironmaster to weld the two little branches with the steel blade with which the victim was slain, taking care that the ends are slightly pointed when they are fitted to the wood; the whole being executed after this manner, you may return home and fix the before-mentioned with your own hands to the genuine Rod. Subsequently you must use a piece of loadstone to maguetise the two points, pronouncing the following words:- By the grand Adonay, Eloim, Anal, and Jehhoam, I bid thee be united to and attract all substances which I desire by the might of the sublime Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam. I command thee by the opposition of fire and water to separate all substances as they were separated on the day of the world's creation. Amen. Finally, you must rejoice in the honour and glory of the sublime Adonay, being convinced that you are in possession of a most priceless treasure of the light. On the following evening collect your Rod, goatskin, the stone called Ematille, and the two Vervain crowns, as well as two candlesticks and two candles of virgin wax, made by a virgin girl and duly blessed. Take also a new steel, two new flints with sufficient tinder to kindle a fire, likewise half a bottle of brandy, some blessed incense and camphor, and four nails from the coffin of a dead child. All these must be carried to the place chosen for the great work, where everything hereinafter laid down must be scrupulously performed and the dread Kabbalistic Circle must be described in an accurate manner. --- CHAPTER IV. Containing a true Representation of the Grand Kabbalistic Circle. YOU must begin by forming a Circle with strips of Kid's skin, fastened to the ground by means of your four nails. Then with the stone called Ematille you must trace the triangle within the Circle beginning at the Eastern point. A large A, a small E, a small A, and a small J, must be drawn in like manner, as also the sacred name of Jesus between two Crosses. By this means the spirits will have no power to harm you from behind. The Karcist and his assistants may then fearlessly proceed to their places within the triangle, and regardless of any noises may set the two candlesticks and the two vervain crowns on the right and left sides of the Triangle within the Circle. This being done, you may light your two candles, taking care that there is a new brazier in front of the Karcist, piled with newly consecrated charcoal. This must be kindled by the Karcist casting a small quantity of the Brandy therein and a part of the camphor, the rest being reserved to feed the fire periodically, in proportion to the length of the business. Having punctually performed all that is mentioned above, you may repeat the following prayer:- I present thee, 0 great Adonay! this incense as the purest I can obtain; in like manner, I present thee this charcoal prepared from the most ethereal of woods. I offer them, 0 grand and omnipotent Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, with my whole soul and my whole heart. Vouchsafe, 0 great Adonay! to receive them as an acceptable holocaust. Amen. You should also be careful to have no alloyed metal about your person, except a gold or silver coin, wrapped in paper, which you must fling to the spirit when he appears outside the circle, so as to prevent him from harming you. While he is picking up the coin, begin promptly the following prayer, fortifying yourself with courage, energy, and prudence. Be, also, especially careful that the Karcist is he sole speaker; the assistants must preserve a determined silence, even if they are questioned or menaced by the Spirit. FIRST PRAYER. O great and living God, subsisting in one and the same person, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I adore Thee with the deepest veneration, and I submit with the liveliest confidence to Thy holy and sufficient protection; I believe with the most sincere faith that Thou art my Creator, my Benefactor, my Preserver, and my Lord, and I testify to thy sovereign Majesty that my soul desire is to belong to Thee through the whole of eternity. So be it! Amen. SECOND PRAYER. O great and living God, who hast created man to enjoy felicity in this life, who hast adapted all things for his necessities, and who didst declare that everything should be made subject to his will, be favourable to this my design, and permit not the rebellious spirits to be in possession of those treasures which were formed by Thine own hands for our temporal requirements. Grant me, O great God, the power to dispose of them by the potent and terrific names in Thy Clavicle: Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, Jehovam, Tagla, Mathon, be ye propitious unto me. So be it! Amen. Be careful to nourish the flame with brandy, incense, and camphor, and proceed with the offertory by means of the following prayer. OFFERTORY. I offer Thee this incense as the purest which I have been able to obtain, 0 sublime Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam! vouchsafe to receive it as an acceptable holocaust. Incline to me in Thy power, and enable me to succeed in this great enterprise. So be it. Amen. FIRST CONJURATION. Addressed to the Emperor Lucifer. Emperor Lucifer, Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits, I adjure thee to leave thine abode in whatsoever quarter of the world it may be situated, and come hither to communicate with me. I command and I conjure thee in the name of the mighty living God: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: to appear without noise and without any evil smell, to respond in a clear and intelligible voice, point by point, to all that I shall ask thee, failing which, thou shalt be most surely compelled to obedience by the power of the divine Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, Jehovam, Tagla, Mathon, and by the whole hierarchy of superior Intelligences, who shall constrain thee against thy will. Venite, Venite! Submiritillor LUCIFUGE, or eternal torment shall overwhelm thee, by the great power of this Blasting Rod. In Subito. SECOND CONJURATION. I command and I adjure thee, Emperor Lucifer, as the representative of the mighty living God, and by the power of Emanuel his only son, who is thy master and mine, and by the virtue of His precious blood, which he shed to redeem mankind from thy chains, I command thee to quit thine abode wheresoever it may be, swearing that I will give thee one quarter of one bour of quiet alone, if thou dost not straightway come hither and communicate with me in an audible and intelligible voice, or if thy personal presence be impossible to send me thy Messenger Astarot in a human form, without either noise or evil smell, failing which I will smite thee and thy whole race with the terrible Blasting Rod into the depth of the bottomless abysses, and that by the power of those great words in the Clavicle- By Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, Jehovam, Tagla, Mathon, Almouzin, Arios, Pithona, Magots, Sylphae, Tabots, Salamandrae, Guonus, Terrae, Caelis, Godens, Aqua. In subito. NOTICE.- Before uttering the third Conjuration, should the Spirit refuse to comply, read what follows in the Clavicle, and smite all the Spirits, by plunging both the forked extremities of your Rod into the flames, and be not alarmed, in so doing, at tbe frightful howls which you may hear, for at this extreme moment all the Spirits will manifest. Then, before reading the Clavicle, and in the midst of the commotion, recite the third conjuration. THIRD CONJURATION. I adjure thee, Emperor Lucifer, as the agent of the strong living God, of His beloved Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and by the power of the great Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, to appear instantly, or to send me thy Messenger Astarot, forcing thee to forsake thy hiding place, wheresoever it may be, and warning thee that if thou dost not manifest this moment, I will straightway smite thee and all thy race with the Blasting Rod of the great Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, etc. At this point, should the Spirit still fail to appear, plunge the two ends of your Rod a second time into the flames, and recite the following potent words from the grand Clavicle of Solomon. GRAND CONJURATION. Extracted from the veritable Clavicle. I adiure thee, 0 Spirit by the power of the Grand Adonay, to appear instanter, and by Eloim, by Ariel, by Jehovam, by Aqua, Tagla, Mathon, Oarios, Almoazin, Arios, Membrot, Varios, Pithona, Majods, Salphae, Gabots, Salamandrae, Tabots, Gnomus, Terrae, Coelis, Godens, Aqua, Gingua, Janna, Etitnamus, Zariatnatmix, etc. A..E..A..J..A..T..M.. O..A..A..M..V..P..M..S..C..S..T..G..T..C..G..A..G..J...F...Z...etc. After a second repetition of these sublime and powerful words, you may be sure that the Spirit will respond after the ensuing manner. Of the manifestation of the Spirit. Lo, I am here! What dost thou seek of me? Why dost thou disturb my repose? Smite me no more with that dread Rod! LUCIFUGE' ROFOCALE. Reply to the Spirit. Hadst thou appeared when I invoked thee, I had by no means smitten thee; remember if the request which I make thee be refused, I am determined to torment thee eternally. SOLOMON. The Spirit's Answer. Torment me no further. Say, rather, what thou dost require at my hands. LUCIFUGE' ROFOCALE. The Requisition. I require that thou shalt communicate two several times on each night of the week either with myself or with those who are entrusted with my present Book, the which thou shalt approve and sign; I permit thee the choice of those hours which may suit thee, if thou approvest not those which I now enumerate. To Wit: On Monday at Nine o'clock and at midnight. On Tuesday at Ten o'clock and at One in the morning. On Wednesday at Eleven o'clock and at Two in the morning. On Thursday at Eight and Ten o'clock. On Friday at Seven in the evening and at mid night. On Saturday at Nine in the evening and a Eleven at night. Further, I command thee to surrender me the nearest Treasure, and I promise thee as a reward the first piece of gold or silver which I lay hands on on the first day of every month. Such is my demand. SOLOMON. The Spirit's Reply. I cannot comply with thy request on such terms nor on any others, unless thou shalt give thyself over to me in fifty years, to do with thy body and soul as I please. LUCIFUGE' ROFOCALE. Rejoinder to the Spirit. Lo, will I smite thee and thy whole race, by the might of great Adonay, if, on the contrary, thou dost not comply with my request. NOTICE. You plunge the points of the Blasting Rod into the fire and repeat the grand Conjuration of the Clavicle, till the Spirit surrenders himself to your will. Answer and Compliance of the Spirit. Smite me no further; I pledge myself to do what thou desirest two several times on every night of the week. To wit:- On Monday at Ten o'clock and at midnight. On Tuesday at Eleven o'clock and at One ii the morning. On Wednesday at midnight and at Two in th morning. On Thursday at Eight and Eleven o'clock. On Friday at Nine o'clock and at midnight. On Saturday at Ten o'clock and at One in th. morning. I also approve thy Book, and I give thee my true Signature on Parchment, which thou shalt affix at its end, to make use of at thy need. Further, I place myself at thy disposition, to appear before thee at thy call when, being purified, an holding the dreadful Blasting Rod, thou shalt open the Book, having described the great Kabbalistic Circle, and pronounced the word Rofocale. I promise thee to have friendly commerce with those who are fortified by the possession of the said Book, where my true signature stands, provided that they invoke me according to rule, on the first occasion that they require me. I also engage to deliver thee the treasure which thou seekest, on condition that thou keepest the secret for ever inviolable, art charitable to the Poor, and dost give me a gold or silver coin on the first day of every month. If thou failest, tho art mine everlastingly. LUCIFUGE' ROFOCALE. Imprimatur. Reply to the Spirit. I agree to thy conditions. SOLOMON. INVITATION OF THE SPIRIT. Follow me, and come lay thy bands on the treasure. Thereupon the Karcist, armed with the Blasting Rod and the stone called Ematille shall issue from the Circle at that point where the door of mighty Adonay is figured, and shall follow the Spirit, but the assistants shall not stir one step from the Circle, but shall remain firm and immoveable within it, whatever reports they hear, and whatever visions they see. The Spirit shall then conduct the Karcist to the vicinity of the Treasure, when it may befall that the Karcist shall behold the apparition of a large and fierce dog with a collar as resplendent as the Sun. This will be a Gnome, which he can drive off by presenting the point of his Rod, when the apparition will make off towards the Treasure. The Karcist must follow, and on reaching the Treasure will be astonished to discover the person who has hidden it, who will endeavour to grapple with him, but will be unable so much as to approach him. The Karcist must be provided with a sheet of virgin parchment inscribed with the grand Conjuration of the Clavicle. This he must cast upon the Treasure grasping one of its coins at the same moment as a pledge and a surety, and previously flinging down a piece of his own money bitten by his own teeth, after which he may retire, walking backwards and carrying away what he can of the Treasure. The rest cannot escape him after the above precautions. He must, however, take heed not to turn round, whatever noise he may hear, for at this critical moment it will truly seem as if all the mountains in the world were being precipitated upon him. He must for this cause be fortified with special intrepidity, must take fright at nothing, and keep perfectly firm. So acting, he will he led back by the Spirit to the entrance of the Circle. Then shall the Karcist recite the following discharge of the Spirit. CONJURATION and Discharge of the Spirit. Oh Prince Lucifer, I am, for the time, contented with thee; I now leave thee in peace, and permit thee to retire wheresover it may seem good to thee, so it be without noise and without leaving any evil smell behind thee. Be mindful, however, of our engagement, for should'st thou fail in it, even for a moment, be assured that I shall eternally smite thee with the Blasting Rod of the great Adonay, Eloim, Ariel and Jehovam. Amen. ACT OF THANKSGIVING. O omnipotent God, who hast created all things for the service and convenience of men, we return Thee most humble thanks for the benefits which, in Thy great bounty, Thou hast poured out on us during this night of Thine inestimable favours, and for that which thou hast granted us according to our desires! Now, O almighty God, have we realized all the scope of thy great promises when Thou didst say to us- seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall he opened unto you. And as Thou hast commanded and Warned us to succour the poor, we promise Thee, in the presence of the great Adonay, Eloim, Ariel, and Jehovam, to be charitable and to pour out on them the beneficient beams of the sun with which those four potent divinities have enriched us! So be it. Amen. VALE. --- THE SECOND BOOK. Containing the genuine Sanctum Regnum of the Clavicle, or the true method of making Pacts. Together with the Names, Offices, and Characters of all the chief Superior Intelligences; so, also, the method to compel their appearance by virtue of the great Conjuration in the chapter entitled "Pacts," which enforces their obedience in any desired OperationPacta Daemoniorum, or the true method of making Pacts, with any Spirits whatsoever. Hereinafter follow the names of the principal infernal Spirits. LUCIFER- Emperor. BELZEBUTH- Prince. ASTAROT- Grand Duke. Then follow tile superior Spirits, who are subordinate to those just named. To wit:- LUCIFUGE'- Prime Minister. SATANACHIA- Commander-in-Chief. AGALIAREPT- Another Commander. FLEURETY- Lieutenant-General. SARGATANAS- Brigadier-Major. NEBIROS- Field-Marshal. The six chief Spirits who are named above have control over the whole Infernal Power which is entrusted to the lesser Spirits. They have eighteen other Intelligences at their disposal, and who are subordinated unto them. To wit:- 1.-Bael. 2.-Agares. 3.-Marbas. 4.-Pruslas. 5.-Aamon. 6.-Barbatos. 7.-Buer. 8.-Gusoyn. 9.-Botis. 10.-Bathim. 11.-Pursan. 12.-Eligor. 13.-Zoray. 14.-Valefar. 15.-Faraii. 16.-Ayperos. 17.-Naberrs. 18.-Glassyalabolas. Having enumerated the names of these eighteen spirits who are inferior to the previous six, it will be well to acquaint you with the matters which follow. To wit:- LUCIFUGE' has power over the three first, namely, over Bael, Agares, and Marbas. SATANACHIA has power over Pruslas, Aamon, and Barbatos. AGALIAREPT has power over Buer, Gusoyn, and Botis. FLEURETY has power over Bathim, Pursan, and Eligor. SARGATANAS has power over Zoray, Valefar, and Faraii. NEBIROS has power over Ayperos, Naberrs, and Glassyalebolas. And albeit there are millions of other spirits in subordination to those which have been enumerated, it will serve no purpose to name them, as they are only required when it pleases the Superior Spirits to employ them in place of themselves, for they make use of all the inferior Intelligencies, as if they were their workmen or slaves. Thus in making the Pact with any of the six governors of whom you may be in need, it is unimportant what Spirit obeys you. Notwithstanding, invariably require of the Spirit with whom you make your Pact that you shall be served by one of the three superiors among his special subordinates. Here follow the precise Powers, Attainments, Arts, and Faculties of the above mentioned spirits, so that any one who is eager to make a Pact, can recognise among the qualities, the ones which will serve his need. The first is the great Lucefuge' Rofocale, Prime Minister Infernal; he has the control, with which Lucifer has invested him, over all the wealth and treasures of the world. The second is the grand SATANACHIA, General in Chief, he has the power of subjecting all women and girls to his wishes, and to do with them as he wills. AGALIAREPT, another commander, has the faculty of discovering the arcane secrets in all the courts and council chambers of the world; he also unveils the most sublime mysteries. He commands the Second Legion of Spirits, and has under him Buer, Gusoyn, and Botis, etc. FLEURETY, Lieutenant-General, has the power to perform any labour during the night; he moreover causes hailstorms in any required place. He controls a very considerable army of Spirits, and has Bathsin, Pursan, and Eligor, etc., etc. as his subordinates. SARGATANES, Brigadier-Major, has the power to make any person invisible, to transport them to any place, to open all locks, to reveal whatsoever is taking place in private houses, to teach all the rogueries of the Shepherds; he commands several Brigades of Spirits, and has Zoray, Valefar, and Faraii, etc. fo his immediate inferiors. NEBIROS, Field-Marshal and Inspector.General has the power to do evil to whomsoever he will; he discovers the Hand of Glory, he reveals all the virtue of Metals, Minerals, Vegetables, and of all Animals both pure and impure. He also possesses the art of predicting things to come, being one of the greates Necromancers in all the Infernal Hierarchies; he goes to and fro everywhere and inspects all the hordes of perdition. His immediate subordinates are Ayperos, Naberrs, and Glassyalabolas, etc., etc. NOTICE. When you have determined to make a Pact with one of the governing Intellegences which I have just named you must begin on the previous evening by cutting with a new and unused Knife, a Rod of Wild Hazel, which has never borne fruit, and which shall be similar to th Blasting Rod as it has been already described and represented in Book the First. This must be do precisely at the moment when the sun appears upon our horizon. This being accomplished, arm yourself with the stone called Ematille, and with two blessed Candles, and proceed to select a place for the coming operation, where you will he wholly undisturbed; ye may even make the Pact in some isolated room, or some subterranean part of an old ruinous castle, for the Spirit has the power to transport the Treasure to any required place. This having been arranged, describe a triangle with the stone called Ematille- this is exclusively needed on the first occasion making a Pact. Then set the two blessed Candles in a parallel position on either side of the Triangle of Pacts, inscribing the Holy Name of Jesus below so that no Spirits can injure you after any manner. You may now take up your position in the middle of the triangle, holding the mysterious Rod, together with the grand Conjuration of the Spirit, the Clavicle, the Requisition you mean to make, and the Discharge of the Spirit. Having exactly fulfilled what things soever have been above described, begin by reciting the following Conjuration with decision and hopefulness. Grand Conjuration of Spirits with whom it is sought to make a Pact. Taken from the grand Clavicle. Emperor LUCIFER, Master of all the revolted Spirits, I entreat thee to favour me in the adjuration which I address to thy mighty minister, LUCIFUGE' ROFOCALE, being desirous to make a Pact with him. I beg thee also, 0 Prince Belzebuth, to protect me in my undertaking! 0 Count Astarot! be propitious to me and grant that to-night the great LUCIFUGE' may appear to me under a human form, and free from evil smell, and that he may accord me in virtue of the Pact which I propose to enter into all the riches which I need. Oh! grand LUCIFUGE', I pray thee to quit thy dwelling wheresoever it may he, and come hither to speak with me, otherwise will I compel thee by the power of the strong living God, of His beloved Son, and of thee. Obey promptly, or thou shalt lie eternally tormented by the power of the potent words in the grand Clavicle of Solomon, wherewith he was accustomed to compel the rebellious Spirits to receive his Compact. Then straightway appear, or I will persistently torture thee by the virtue of these great words in the Clavicle- Aglon, Tetragram, vaycheon stimulamaton ezphares retragrammaton olyaram irion esytion existion eryona onera brasym mozm messias soter Emanuel Sabaoth Adonay te adoro, et te invoco. Amen. ___ Scanned from vol. II, no. 5 of "The Unknown World", (June 15, 1895) and corrected and formatted by hand.
