A number of transcription errors in voces magica occurred in the Goëtia version; I have not ventured to correct these, since some of Crowley’s glosses hinge on the erroneous readings, and these names are for the most part corrupt to the point of being meaningless in any language in any case. However, the above also contains a few conjectural restorations (of damaged places in the MS.; flagged by angle brackets) and corrections by Preisendanz, e.g. ARBAQIAW for AR . . QIAW, IABAWQ IAW for IB . . QIAW, AGIE (‘holy’) for APE, etc. This is followed by a short rubric (English translation by D. E. Aune from Betz, op. cit): Preparation for the above ritual: Write the formula [Ñnoma] on a new sheet of papyrus, and after extending it from one of your temples to the other, read the 6 names, while you face north saying: Øpotaxon moi panta ta daimonia, ƒna moi ºn Øphkooj paj daimon oÙranioj kai a„qerioj kai pigeioj kai Øpogeioj kai cersaioj kai nudroj kai pasa pipomph kai mastix ¹ qeou. And all daimons will be obedient to you. The beneficial sign is :> (Øpotaxon moi panta ta daimonia k.t.l. is the prototype for the “Hear me and make all spirits subject unto me” refrain which does not occur in the body of the original invocation. The rest of Aune’s translation is omitted to keep within the limits of fair use.) ë denotes eta and õ denotes omega; umlauts over other vowels simply indicate that the vowel in question and the preceding one are pronounced distinctly. In their absence, ai, ei, oi, ui, au, eu, and ou are pronounced as single sounds (ai as in “aisle”, ei as in “veil”, oi as in “oil”, ui as in “quit”, au as the ‘ou’ in “loud”, eu as in “feud”, ou as in “route”—pronunciation information from Wenham, Elements of New Testament Greek). 74
In the c section the fifth of the voces magica is OÖÖ not DÖÖ; similarly OÖ not DO after SABRIAM in the final section. The miscopying occurred in the execrable de Lawrence piracy of the Goëtia and has been perpetuated by other writers, probably because in the blackletter typeface used by Crowley capital D and O were similar (this e-text uses JSL Blackletter, designed by Jeff Lee, which is very similar to the face used in the 1904 edition, differing only in a few letters e.g. capital Z). Similarly the lower-case x and r are very similar, so de Lawrence miscopied Abrasax as Abrasar in the third and sixth sequences of voces magica. The Initiated Interpretation of Ceremonial Magic. This essay was reprinted in the notes to Crowley’s Sword of Song and in turn reprinted in vol. ii of his Collected Works. Additional footnotes from the latter publication have been included. Preliminary Definition of Magic. Crowley scholar Martin Starr (cited in an editorial note to Crowley’s Magick: Book 4 Parts I-IV, Weiser, 1994) has sourced this to a 1656 English translation of Themis Auræ, a Rosicrucian work by Michael Maier. Brief Introductory Description. The Lemegeton is a 17 th -century English compilation of magical texts attributed to Solomon. The Goëtia is itself composite: the praxis appears based partly on the Fourth Book of pseudo-Agrippa and partly on the Key of Solomon; the conjurations are closely or identically worded to those in Robert Turner’s English translation (pub. 1655) of the Heptameron, a 16 th -century Grimoire of planetary magick (falsely attributed to Peter of Abano) which was bound up with the Fourth Book, and the catalogue of spirits is an adaptation of the “Book of the Offices of the Spirits” published by Wier in 1563 as Pseudomonarchia dæmonum from a magical MS. in his possession. This latter had 69 spirits; the compiler of the Goëtia added some to bring the number up to 72 in accordance with the legend in the Pseudomonarchia which speaks of the 72 chief spirits bound up in the brazen vessel by Solomon. Further, as Petersen points out, the fourth spirit in Wier’s list, the Prince and Duke Pruflas or Bufas, is omitted in the Goëtia, and was also omitted in the version of the Pseudomonarchia published by Scot in Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), from a MS. collection of magical rituals in English compiled by one “T.R.” The Goëtia also perpetuates a few other errors or oddities from that translation. The Theurgia Goëtia lists 31 principal spirits and enumerates an astronomical number of subordinates of whom relatively few are named; of the 31, 20 are referred to the points of the compass and the other 11 are said to wander and have no fixed place. It is possible that the Theurgia-Goëtia was partly based on the Steganographia of Trithemius by someone who did not realise that the latter was primarily a work of cryptography. The apparently oxymoronic title (historically gohteia was used as a term of abuse by those who claimed to practice qeourgia for what other magicians did) is accounted for by the mixed nature of the spirits (and the fact that the words had shifted somewhat in meaning by the Renaissance). The Ars Paulina contains a catalogue of Angels for the 12 hours of the day and night, and for the 12 signs and 360 degrees of the Zodiac; they are also attributed to the seven classical Planets. The Ars Almadel is probably of medieval origin: it divides up the powers it summons into four “Altitudes”, seemingly referred to the cardinal points of the Zodiac. Both the Pauline Art and Art Almadel (alongside the Notary Art and “Art of Revelations” concerning which latter I have no further information) were denounced by Agrippa in his de Vanitate. The Ars Nova is a kind of appendix which appears in one MS. (BL Sloane 2731) where it occupies one and a half sides of a single folio leaf: it comprises an extended prayer associated 75
