THE CHARACTER OF PHUL
Lunary concerns are under the government of PHUL, who truly transmutes all metals into
silver, heals dropsy and provides Spirits of the Water, who serve men in a corporal and
visible form; he also prolongs life to three hundred years.
Legions of inferior spirits are commanded by each of the Governors, who also have
Kings, Princes, Presidents, Dukes and Ministers ruling under them. Ceremonial Magic
usually administers the hierarchies upon a colossal scale. The invocation of the
Governors is simple. It is performed in the day and hour of the planet which is in
correspondence with the Olympic Intelligence by means of the following:--
PRAYER
O Eternal and Omnipotent God, Who hast ordained the whole creation for Thy praise
and Thy glory, as also for the salvation of man, I beseech Thee to send Thy Spirit N., of
the Solar Race, 1 that he may instruct me concerning those things about which I design to
ask him [or--that he may bring me medicine against the dropsy, &c.]. Nevertheless, not
my will, but Thine be dome, through Jesus Christ, Thine only begotten Son, Who is our
Lord. Amen.
Unless the Spirit, in the words of Robert Turner, be "familiarly addicted" to the operator,
he should not be detained above one hour, and should in either case be "licensed to
depart" as follows:--
p. 35
THE DISCHARGE
Forasmuch as thou camest in peace and quietness, having also answered unto my
Petitions, I give thanks unto God, in Whose Name thou camest. Now mayst thou depart in
peace unto thine own order; but return unto me again, when I shall call thee by thy -
name, or by thine order, or by thine office, which is granted from the Creator. Amen.
