The subject of Infernal Manifestations is, however, fully treated in the next chapter. The indications in the present section are merely the later variants. Footnotes 194:1 A portion of this statement is derived from the Key of Solomon; but whereas it is put clearly in the Grimoire, it is incomplete and inconsequent in the original. It is the alternative aspect of the Kabalistic principle that the spirit clothes itself to come down and divests itself to return upward. When the abyss gives up forms its capacity of manifestation is Protean, but the most beloved tendency is monstrous. And the forms disrobe for the abyss to open and receive them when they go back to their cover. 194:2 A giant, a serpent, a woman, are also other modes of his manifestation, according to the discretion of demonologists. CHAPTER IV The Mysteries of Goëtic Theurgy according to the Lesser Key of Solomon the King §1 Concerning the Spirits of the Brazen Vessel, otherwise called the False Monarchy of Demons THE Goëtic Art of Solomon 1 gives instructions for the evocation of the seventy-two spirits whom the King of Israel, according to a well-known legend, shut up in a brass vessel and cast into a deep lake. When the vessel was discovered by the Babylonians, it was supposed to contain a great treasure and was accordingly broken open. The spirits who were thus set at liberty, together with their legions, returned to their former places, Belial excepted, who entered into a certain image, and gave oracles to the people of the country in return for sacrifices and divine honours, by which there is corrupt Kabalistic authority for concluding that demons were assuaged and sustained. Their names and offices are as follows:-- Footnotes 195:1 Though a work of considerable length, this Lesser Key, so far as it concerns our inquiry, admits of reduction into a manageable compass by the omission of tiresome and egregious particulars as to the number of spirits who are subject to a particular Lord, Prince or Emperors and are liable to appear in his company. It should be understood in a general way that there are hundreds and thousands and millions, according to the dignity
of the hierarch; they must have been a source of considerable inconvenience, and even of dismay, to the operator! THE SEAL OF BAAL I. BAAL, a king ruling in the East, who imparts invisibility and wisdom. He appears with a human head, or with that of a toad or cat, 1 but sometimes with all at once. He speaks with a hoarse voice. 2 THE SEAL OF AGARES THE SEAL OF VASSAGO THE SEAL OF VASSAGO USED IN WHITE MAGIC II. AGARES, a duke ruling in the East, who appears in the form of a comely old man, ambling upon a crocodile and carrying a goshawk on his wrist. He makes those who run stand still, brings back runaways, teaches all languages, destroys spiritual and temporal dignities and causes earthquakes. 3 He is of the Order of the Virtues. 4 p. 197 III. VASSAGO, a mighty prince, of the nature of Agares, who declares things past, present and future, and discovers what has been lost or hidden. He is good by nature. 1
