INVOCATION OF THE KING
O thou great and powerful King AMAYMON, Who rulest by the power of the Supreme
God, EL, over all Spirits, superior and inferior, but especially over the Infernal Order in
the Dominion of the East, I invoke and command thee by the
p. 231
particular and true Name of God, by the God Whom thou dost worship, by the Seal of thy
creation, O the most mighty and powerful Name of God, JEHOVAH,
TETRAGRAMMATON, Who cast thee out of Heaven with the rest of the Infernal
Spirits; by all the other potent and great Names of God, Creator of Heaven, Earth and
Hell, of all contained therein; by their powers and virtues; by the Name
PRIMEMATUM, which commands the whole host of Heaven. Do thou force and compel
the Spirit N. here before this circle, in a fair and comely shape, without injury to myself
or to any creature, that he may give me true and faithful answer, so that I may
accomplish my desired end, whatsoever it be, provided that it is proper to his office, by
the power of God, EL, Who hath created and doth dispose of all things, celestial, aërial,
terrestrial and infernal.
Having twice or thrice invoked the King in this manner, again conjure the spirit, using the
previous forms, and rehearsing them several times, whereupon he will come assuredly.
Yet should he fail, be convinced that he is bound with chains in hell, and is not in the
custody of his King. To set him free it is necessary to recite
THE CHAIN CURSE
O thou wicked and disobedient N., because thou hast not obeyed or regarded the words
which I have rehearsed, the glorious and incomprehensible Names of the true God,
Maker of all things in the world, now I, by the power of these Names, which no creature
can resist, do curse thee into the depths of the Bottomless Pit, to remain until the Day of
Doom, in the Hell of unquenchable fire and brimstone, unless thou shalt forthwith appear
in this triangle, before this circle, to do my
p. 232
will. Come, therefore, quickly and peaceably, by the Names ADONAI, ZEBAOTH,
ADONAI, AMIORAM. Come, come, ADONAI, King, of commands thee.
Having read so far, if he come not, write his seal on parchment; put it in a black box, with
brimstone, assafœtida and other stinking perfumes; bind the said box with iron wire, hang
it on the point of your sword, hold it over the fire of charcoal, which shall have been
placed towards that quarter whence the spirit will Come, and say first unto the Fire:--I
conjure thee, O Fire, by Him Who made thee, and all other creatures in the world, to
torment, burn, and consume this Spirit N. everlastingly.
