Welcome to the Summoning Information Page!

Below you'll find an assortment of information about the 72 Goetic Demons/Spirit

s for aspiring Goetic Summoners who don't know where to begin. First of all, th
ese entities are NOT demons; the vast majority of them appear to be Gods of old
who simply lost power and worshipers. We cannot trace the origin of some entiti
es, but almost none of them appear in the old rolls of fallen angels or biblical
demons.
The main text where most of our information is based off of is called The Lesser
Key of Solomon, also known as Clavicula Salomonis Regis or Lemegeton. Published
at some point during the 17th-century, using materials obviously derived from P
seudomonarchia Daemonum, this text appears to be one of the many grimoires in th
e Goetia tradition, stemming from the Greek Magickal Papyri as elaborated upon by
Jake Stratton Kent. This tradition includes a large array of texts, from Iurat
us and Heptameron through Grimorium Verum, with bits of the praxes winding up in
Afro-Carib practices.
Though it claims to have been written by King Solomon, whose birth predated Chri
sts by 900 years. Here are a number of versions, in order of reliability:
The Lesser Key of Solomon: Detailing the Ceremonial Art of Commanding Spirits Bo
th Good and Evil By Joseph H. Peterson

Peterson does the best with straight transcriptions of old manuscripts. If you
want Lemegeton as it people used it at the time, this is the edition for you.
There s also an online edition which is simply a copy/paste of materials in the
Sloane MSS:

Lemegeton: The Complete Lesser Key of Solomon By Mitch Henson
http://goo.gl/HzwWO9
Henson standardizes his edition of Lemegeton from 3 resource manuscripts as well
as White transcription itself. Henson s edition is the best edited synthesis of
multiple mss that s available, and is thus recommended by /sum/ and /omg/. A c
opy appears in the Mega library.
The Lesser Key of Solomon Goetia By S.L. Mathers
http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/grimoire/goetia.pdf
Mathers drew from a single manuscript accessible to the Golden Dawn at the time,
the White transcript of Sloane s Manuscripts. It was edited, and altered, by A
leister Crowley, who also drew the connection between these materials and the GM

Very clear on how to evoke on a budget and an overall decent version for beginne
rs.
Next up we ll get to the meat of the matter. A quick step by step guide by A.M.S
.
So you want to get started but don t like reading dense occult texts? Here s how
to do it,
quick, dirty, and cheap.
First, you will need:
* A big enough space, a typical bedroom is enough if you move the furniture

out of the way.

* Chalk or some other way of drawing on the floor, preferably in such way th
at you can clean it up later. Tape, as in painters tape or duct tape works well
for this, but also has you making angular shapes. It has the advantage of bein
g able to write on it.
* Incense and an incense burner. These can be typically be picked up for a f
ew dollars.
* Three candles, any color is fine, but try to make them all the same color
and shape. Beginners should go with black or white on inclination. Advanced st
udents can standardize via 777 or other tables of Kabbalistic correspondence (mo
re on this later).
* The seal of the spirit you wish to summon. It s usually easiest to just pr
int this out, but the books tend to call for etchings on metal. Metal etching i
s really easy with weak acid from a hardware store and the appropriate metal, wh
ich you can get cut into squares or disks for pennies on the dollar, at most hob
by retailers. Appropriate metals can be found in 777 and others, or even Agripp
a.
* A wand. A tree branch should work just fine, but if you simply grab a stic
k it taken from a try by a single stroke from your cutting tool and stripped of
bark.
* The Hexagram of Solomon. It s also usually a good idea to just print this
out, unless you want to spend on a premade medallion or maybe embroider it onto
a robe.
http://www.occultopedia.com/images_/hexagram-of-solomon.jpg
- Note, some Hexagrams of Solomon may or may not have varying words inside the c
ircle. These do not invalidate other forms of the Hexagram or make one better th
an the other. Generally these differences are due to trajectories of work.
Here s what you do:
0. Make sure you ve done all your prep work. This includes re-reading this ent
ire document, knowing which planet the entity is tied to, and how you re going t
o invoke that planet. This is covered in step 11.
1. At the direction mentioned for the spirit in the text (this can vary, if in d
oubt, go with East), draw a triangle big enough to hold your incense burner and
the seal. You generally want it to be about three feet across.
2. Draw a circle on the ground, big enough for you to fit inside (at least 22 ft
wide, or something like 11 paces to walk the perimeter of, several feet to the
west of the triangle.
3. Around the edge of the circle, write the names of whatever God or Gods you ha
ve the most faith in.
(If you re not sure about what names to use, just write "YHVH ADNI AHIH AGLA
" over and over again. This is something else you can tinker with, and 777 shou
ld provide tons of inspiration)
4. Once the names are written out, draw another circle around them and the first
circle you drew.
5. Place the seal and incense burner into the triangle, and the candles at the t
hree points of the triangle.
6. Make sure you have the wand and the hexagram ready inside the circle.
Once you re done with the setup, it should look like this:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/grim/lks/img/fig153-4.jpg
*Notice the cardinal directions
**The four candles outside the circle were not mentioned in this guide, and
are therefore not mandatory, but you can play and tinker with this.

7. Take a bath or shower, brush your teeth, get as clean as possible.

8. As you get into the bath, chant:
"Asperges me, hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.."
9. Put on a robe, or clean black or white clothes, or skyclad. Go barefoot in an
y case.
10. Light the incense and the candles. Make sure all other lights in the room ar
e off.
11. To start, perform a banishing ritual like LBRP, or GRP, or Star Ruby or wha
tever. You can also perform a preliminary invokation like Borneless One (not re
commended for starters).
Each spirit has a planet it s tied to. This determines the minor details of the
rituals. Luckily, all the correspondence is done for you. This is a master ta
ble for Lemegeton work:
https://arianasiresearch.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/1386793627282.png?w=700
Around the outermost edge, you can find the zodiac. One step in, you can find t
he planets ruled by that zodiacal sign. Another step is in the degree, as in 360
degrees. Yet another step in is the number of the entity in Lemegeton. Another
is the name of the entity, and finally, another step in is the planet ruling th
e entity. For Lemegeton, this is all we need to know.
Find the name of your entity. Below it will be a planet, above it a number. Ta
ke the lower planet, and write it down. This determines the time and the form o
f the planetary invokation. Next, go here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_hours
You want to summon the entity on the DAY of that planet, in the TIME of that pla
net. For example, if you want to evoke Murmur, that s Mercury (in the auspicies
of Aries and Sol). Looking at the time table, this gives us a day of Wednesda
y in the 8th hour after sunrise. THEN open up a sky-map, like Stellarium. Usin
g that day, and time, find a date to perform the ritual when the actual planet M
ercury is either just risen or at the apex of it s movement through the sky, tha
t is both on a Wednesday and in the 8th hour after sunrise.
If this is too constrictive, also check the nighttime hours, and make sure to lo
ok over the movements of the Behenian Fixed Stars, for they re the root of plane
tary powers to begin with:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behenian_fixed_star
Armed with this knowledge, we can invoke the power of the planet to aid our conj
uration. Each planet has it s own sigil, and the sigil of its intelligence, angel a
nd spirit. Go with spirit unless your planet is in retrograde, in which case use in
telligence. Use the angel in both cases. You simply need to wear the sigil or m
ark it on your body. So, again, using the example of Mercury we get the Angel o
f Raphael, the Intelligence of Tiriel and the Spirit of Taphthartharath.
Perform the invokation proper:
http://www.thelemapedia.org/index.php/Greater_Ritual_of_the_Hexagram
^This can be adapted in a number of ways. The easiest is to use the invoking he
xagram in the form of a star with a number of points equal to the number of poin
ts around the summoning circle, vibrating the Godname, at least, if not the ange
l name too, as you cast it.. In the example of Mercury, you d go around the roo
m at 8 points making the specific hexagram, vibrating Elohim Tzabaoth each time.
12. Once you re all jittery, point the wand at the triangle and say:

I Evoke and conjure you [name of spirit] & being with power armed from your supr
eme Majesty, I thoroughly command you by Beralanensis [Beralanensis], Baldachien
sis, Paumachi & Apologi-Sedes and your most powerful princes Genio Liachidi, minis
ters of your Tartarean seat, chief princes of of your seat of Apologia, in your
Ninth Region; I exorcise & powerfully command you [spirit name] in and by him th
at said your word, & it was done, and by all the holy and most glorious Names of
the most holy and true God, and by these his most holy Names: Adonai [Adonay],
El, Elohim, Elohe, Zebeoth [Zebaoth], Elion [Elyon], Escerchie ^Eskerie, Jah, Te
tragrammaton Saday That you forthwith appear and show yourselves here unto me be
fore this Circle, in a fair and humane shape, without any deformity or ugly show
and without delay, do you come, from all parts of the world to make & make [sic
] rational answers unto all Things which I shall ask of you; and come you peacea
bly, visibly and affably without delay, manifesting what I desire, being conjure
d by the Name [Names] of the Eternal living and true God Helioren I conjure you
by the especial and true Name of your God that you owe obedience unto, and by th
e Name of your king, which beareth rule over you, That forthwith you come withou
t tarrying, and fullfil my desires, and command, and persist unto your End, & ac
cording to my Intentions and I conjure Thee by him , by whom all Creatures are o
bedient [unto] and by this ineffable name Tetragrammaton Jehovah [Jehova], which
being heard, the Elements are overthrown; The air is shaken, The sea runneth ba
ck, The fire is quenched, The Earth Trembleth and all ye hosts of Celestials, Te
rrestrials & Infernals do Tremble, and are troubled and confounded together. tha
t [come] you visibly and affably, speak unto me with a Clear voice Intelligible,
and without any ambiguity, Therefore come ye in the Name Adonay Zebeoth [Zebaot
h]; Adonay [Adonay], Amiorent, come, come why delay? Hasten: Adonay Saday, the K
inge of kings commandeth you:
By now, you should be getting effects. If not, don t panic, and continue with t
he rite as normal. Sometimes it s there and simply choses not to manifest, or y
ou fucked up the protocol at some step. If you re getting WEAK effects, move on
to the second conjuration in the book. There are also orations in case the ent
ity starts go get unruly, but if you ve done it right, you should at LEAST be ge
tting shadows, loud bangs or thumps, dogs barking, dogs stopping barking, flicke
ring lights, shadowy movements, or if you re lucky or talented, vapors.
13. Welcome the spirit to the triangle by saying:
Behold your conclusion if you be disobedient. Behold the Pentacle of Salomon whi
ch I have brought hear before thy presence: Behold the person of the Exorcist wh
o is called Octinomos, in the midst of the Exorcism, who is armed by god & witho
ut fear, who potently evoked you and called you to appear, Therefore make ration
al answers to my demands and be obedient to me your master in the name of the Lo
rd Bathat rushing upon Abrac Abeor coming upon Aberer.Welcome [spirit name] I say
you are welcome unto me because I called you through him who created both heave
n & Earth & Hell and all that is contained therein and you have obeyed by the sa
me power by which I called you forth. I bind you that you remain affably and vis
ibly here before this circle, so constrained and so long as I have occasion for
you, do not to depart without my license until you have faithfully and truly per
formed my will without any falsity,
14. Command the spirit to aid you in some way. Here are some tips on doing this:
* Be reasonable - spirits are apt to avoid summoners who make crazy demands.
* Give the spirit a deadline by which the task is to be finished. Allow it p
lenty of time to work, but don t give it forever or it will never do anything.
* Stipulate that you and your loved ones are not to be harmed.
* Offer the spirit something in return. For small favors, offering to praise
it and spread its seal online should work.
* Formulate your request as a sigil and burn it*

15. Hold up the hexagram so that it can be seen from the triangle. Say something
like:
"I bind you now to our contract by the Hexagram of Solomon and the authority
of the Most High."
16. Now that you ve bound the spirit, time to get rid of it. Say:
O Thou [spirit name] Because thou hast very diligently answered my demands a
nd was ready and willing to come at my first call I do here license thee to depa
rt unto thy proper place without doing any Injury or danger to any man or beast.
Depart I say and be ever ready to come at my call being duly Exorcised and co
njured by these sacred rites of Magick. I charge thee to withdraw peaceably and
quiet1y, and the peace of God be ever continued between me and the thee. Amen.
17. Banish again
18. Whew, it s all over. Turn the lights back on and clean the place up so you
don t have to answer any questions..
19. Post in the /sum/ thread about who you summoned, why, and what happened.
Here s what you need to be aware of:
* While setting up, DO NOT BREAK THE CIRCLE. It must be intact before you begi
n your summoning and remain intact during the whole ritual.
* From the moment you first say "Hear me..." to the moment the ritual ends wit
h the License to Depart, DO NOT LEAVE THE CIRCLE.
* You may feel very tired or depressed or amped or otherwise out of balance fo
r about 24 hours after summoning. This is normal, and it will pass shortly.
Frequently Asked Questions
*What spirit is best to call on for a beginner?
- We d agree that Orobas would be a good start, as his description states "He is
very faithful unto the Exorcist, and will not allow him to be tempted of any Sp
irit." , which is beyond helpful in this field.
*Do I have to offer anything to the spirits and if so, what?
- You don t have to, but it s better to offer something as payment for their wor
ks. Offering will also give them an incentive to lend you a hand.
For small favors, offer to praise it and spread its sigil online or wherever you
can. For larger favors, the most common offerings are alcohol, food and sex.
**Note: If you do offer alcohol or food, do NOT consume it unless you specifical
ly tell the spirit you will consume it on its behalf. Leave the drink out until
it completely evaporates, or the food out until its on the verge of decay, THEN
dispose of it.
*Aren t Demons Evil?
- Not exactly, while most of the 72 Goetic demons are interested in getting what
s beneficial to them regardless of cost, some of them are actually helpful and
may be beneficial towards the Summoner. The main thing to remember is that altho
ugh the Lemegeton refers to them as demons and dark spirits, they re mostly comp
romised of gods and high beings from other older religions and pantheons where t
hey were revered, respected, and worshiped in their time. It is not to say that
you shouldn t be respectful when performing your rituals, because offending demo
ns is an extremely dangerous business.
*How to summon gf/not be forever alone?
- There are actually several demons who, as listed in the Lemegeton, actually sp
ecialize in matters of love. A few examples are Sitri, Zepar, Uvall and Sallos.
These spirits, and others, have the power to possibly help regain a lost love or

help gain a new one.

Expect to get your shit wrecked, tho.

*What s the difference between Invoking and Evoking?

- Evoking, or evocation, is the practice of summoning a spirit outside of your b
ody. In relation to the Goetia, evoking a spirit is the act of summoning a spiri
t to show themselves to you on our physical plane, whether it be through smoke,
candle flickering, or physical presence.
- Invoking, or Invocation, is your practice of summoning a spirit inside your bo
dy. In relation to the Goetia, invoking a spirit is the act of summoning a spiri
t into your mind or into your presence on the astral plane and having the spirit
show themselves to you normally through an extra voice in your head or through
whispers in your ear.
