Goetia - Holy Order of the Golden Dawn Canada

Figure 170. Figure 171.
Figure 170 is from the site of ancient Carthage. It is very rough in
workmanship, and the designs are mere scratchings on the stone. The ensemble
has the effect of an evil Sigil. Figure 171 is also from Carthage and the various
symbols appear to have been compressed into and synthesised in the form of a
peculiarly evil-looking caduceus.
Figure 172. Figure 173. Figure 174.
Figure 172 is from the decoration of a sepulchral urn found at Oldenburgh in
Germany. It is remarkable as showing the same hieroglyphic human form with the
crescent above; the latter in the Secret Seal of Solomon has a flattened top, and is
therefore more like a bowl, and is placed across the hieroglyph. Figure 173 is an
Egyptian design which would show an analogy between the symbol and the idea
of the force of creation. Figure 174 is a stele from Phœnicia somewhat similar to
the others, except that the rudimentary caducei in Figures 166 and 170 are here
replaced by two roughly drawn Ionic columns. These last three designs are taken
from the work of the Chevalier Emile Soldi-Colbert de Beaulieu, on the “Lange
Sacrée.”
In figure 175 is given the seal of the Spirit HALAHEL. This
Spirit is said to be under the rule of BAEL, and to be of a mixed
nature, partly good and partly evil, like the spirits of Theurgia-
Goetia which follow in the second book of the Lemegeton.
