In Franz Bardon’s Practice of Magical Evocation, Bardon reveals that Aschmunadai is a spirit with the rank of absolute monarch that is leading the beings of the Earth Zone.
As is the case with a lot of the hermetic spirits, not much information can be found on him on the internet or in books. I would like to remedy this as best as I can, though I must be brief. Continue reading “Aschmunadai, Ruler of the Earth Zone”
PHUL likes this character:
They transmute all metals into Silver, in word and deed: they steer Lunar matters. They heal swellings from water. They give Water spirits, which manifest in corporeal and visible form (i.e. on the physical plane, BM). They make one live 300 years.
On the day and in the hour of the Moon, I prepare a list of topics to talk about with Phul, the Olympic governor of all things Lunar. Continue reading “Phul, Shield of the Moon”
I’ve always felt drawn towards the Egyptian gods, with Sobek at the top of my list. Somehow the idea of a Crocodile Deity fascinated me. However, I never made any conscious effort to communicate and work with them, besides being inspired. It’s time to change this, starting with Lord Sobek, as I now know they like to be called. Lady Sobek works equally well and accents their lunar aspects of fertility and protection.
PHALEG commands those things which are attributed to Mars, the Prince of Peace. The Magician that has Phaleg’s character will be raised by Phaleg to great honors in affairs of War.
On the day and in the hour of Mars, I call upon Phaleg, the Martian spirit mentioned in the Arbatel. Continue reading “Phaleg, the Penetrating Presence”
The governor ARATRON have in their power those things which they do naturally, that is, in manner and subject the same as those things which in “Astronomy of Grace” (apparently a lost book by Paracelsus, BM) are ascribed to the power of Saturn.
Truly, the things which they perform of their own free will, are,
They have under them 49 Kings, 42 Princes, 35 Presidents, 28 Dukes, 21 Ministers, standing before them; 14 familiars, seven messengers: they command 36,000 legions of spirits; the number of a legion is 490.
On Saturn’s day and hour, I finally get around to talk to Aratron, the saturnine Governor mentioned in the Arbatel. Continue reading “Aratron, quiet Omnipresence”
BETHOR governs the things ascribed to Jupiter: when called they come quickly. The Magician that is dignified with Bethor’s character, Bethor raises to the highest dignities. Bethor exposes treasures to the Magician. Bethor reconciles the spirits of the Air, who then answer truly. These spirits move things and precious stones from place to place, and they make medicines miraculous in their effects: they also give familiars of the firmament, and they have the power to prolong life to 700 years, if God wills it so.
They have under them 42 Kings, 35 Princes, 28 Dukes, 21 Counsellors, 14 Ministers, 7 Messengers, 29,000 legions of Spirits.
On the day of Jupiter and in the tail-end of the hour of Jupiter, I sat down to talk to Bethor, the Olympic spirit ruling over all things appointed to Jupiter. Continue reading “Bethor, Ruler of Infinities”

They have under them 36,536 Legions: alone they manage everything: and all their spirits serve them throughout the centuries.
On Sunday in the hour of the Sun, I am inviting the Olympic spirit of Och to talk to me.

HAGITH governs the Venereal. Whoever is dignified with their character, they make most beautiful, and adorned with all grace. They instantly turn copper into gold, and gold back into copper. They give spirits which will faithfully serve those to whom they are appointed.
They have 4,000 legions of spirits, and for every thousand they put in charge rulers for the appointed times.
On the day of Venus, in the hour of Venus, I grab Peterson’s version of the Arbatel (for the sigil) and my magic notebook and go on my balcony. Some time prior I had thought about what to talk about. My main aim is just to say “hello”, this being, to my knowledge, our first conversation. Continue reading “A message from Hagith to you”
OPHIEL is the governor of everything Mercurial; their Character is such:
Their Spirits reach 100,000 Legions: they give Familiar Spirits most easily: they teach all arts: and Magicians that are dignified with Ophiel’s character are empowered to instantly transmute Quicksilver into the Philosophers Stone.
On the day of Mercury, in the mid-day hour of Mercury, I summon Ophiel from the Arbatel for the first time. Continue reading “A quick conjuration of Ophiel”
