The purpose of this booklet then is to detail approaches to goetic spell-work, facilitating the further reintegration of New World and Grimoireapproaches. The terms used assume that the operator is working withthe spirits of the True Grimoire. Ideally, this involves the magical meansof communicating with them through the intermediary spirit Scirlin,and standing agreements with the appropriate spirits. The methodsare however readily adapted to other systems and traditions where anemphasis on Spirit '!7ork is either present or desired. In addition, a

'spell' may be considered as a short-term 'implicit' pact with a spirit,requiring no formal pact as in a long-term relationship.

Just as 'goes' is an ancient term for a magician working with spiritsof the Underworld, so 'pharmakos' represents a magician working withherbs, alchemical processes and so forth. The types are not mutuallyexclusive, and accordingly there are spirits of the grimoire who workwith alchemy, herbs, stones, etc. These spirits are very suitable allies formagicians combining the work of the 'goes' and the 'pharmakos'.

Among the foremost spirits for the pharmakos practicing goeticsorcery, the four sub-chiefs of Satanachia rank highly. These chiefs areSergutthy, Heramael, Trimasael and Sustugriel, of whom Verum says that'These spirits are of great advantage, and they work well and speedily, inthe case that they are pleased with the operator.'

Sergutthy is said to have 'power over maidens and wives, whenthings are favourable'. In fact, he is more concerned with the status andcharisma of the operator, specialising in that form of empowerment.This is frequently accomplished by means of oils and fragrances appliedto the body at \rarious points, and in other ways. A sigil or character usedby Sergutthy is:

SERGUTTHY

Heramael is said to teach 'the art of healing, including the completeknowledge of any illness and its cure. He also makes known the virtuesof plants, where they are to be found, when to pluck them, and theirmaking into a complete cure'. He is able to assist the magician in thepreparation or use of herbs for any magical purpose. A sigil or characterapproved by Heramael ist

Apparently unsuspected by many who use them, there are many gapsin the European grimoires, even so apparently complete a manual as theKey of Solomon. If our efforts are truly wholehearted, then these holesrender impossible all attempts at purism based on restricting ourselves to'by the book' approaches. There is some value of course in distinguishingbetween procedures that are essentially based on a single text, and thosethat draw on multiple sources. However, there remains the simple factthat none of the grimoires discusses certain essential details at all. Thisbeing so one either has to concede that 'by the book' approaches cannottruly resemble the original intention, or that the books are incomplete.The implications in practice amount to much the same in both cases.

By way of illustration, the equipment list of the Key of Solomon is,apparently, the most exhaustive of all. It purports to include all the toolsone will require in magical work. While this apparent completeness mayitself be mere appearance, what is certainly omitted are a great manytools that are in fact indispensable. There are specific instructions forpreparing and consecrating knives and engraving tools, even paper andpen. By contrast the equally necessary pestle and mortar, graters, sievesand storage jars are never mentioned. This is highly problematic as a

high state of ritual purity is required for all substances and utensilsemployed, ruling out any incense or herbs prepared or stored usingunconsecrated kitchenware. Assuming that there was a cupboard full ofspecially prepared tools of this nature not mentioned in the grimoire as

such, then even the original author cannot have been working solely 'bythe book'.

One possible reason why this material is missing from the texts, ifit was ever there, lies with who these texts were written for. Most of themanuscripts are rather late, later for example than the invention of theprinting press. The balance of evidence supports the idea that manyof these manuscripts were produced for 'gentleman collectors'. Thisexplains, among other things, why the sword becomes a more importantinstrument than in the earliest texts where it does not figure at all. Itwas, after all, a weapon worn by the nobility in the 15'h century whenmany of the manuscripts were produced; thus of higher status than themore workmanlike knife.

This may also explain the absence of equipment associated with thekitchen, the province of servants. This is illustrated, though probablyironically, in the Cabala of the Green Butterfly:'In order to take the GreenButterfly arm yourself with such a net that servants commonly employ inorder to bring the Butterflies to us'. What is notable here is that the 'noble'magician here is to do the work himself for a change. In fact the grimoirethis text comes from is one of those interesting Franco-Italian grimoires thatwas actually printed and was in reality aimed at less genteel readers!

Bowls of all shapes and sizes are required in this field of magicalwork. They can be used to stir powders together, soak herbs and holdingredients you are working with.

Jnns, BorrLES AND Pors

Most obviously for the storage of finished products, herbal blends,oils, incense and so on, but also useful and necessary in the preparationof many potions and oils. The creation of many magical oils involvessteeping herbs and resins in them for long periods. These tinctures anddecoctions require shaking and agitating that is not so practical whendone in a bowl.

Dark amber-glass bottles are good and can usually be purchased froma good health food shop. They more often than not have more than onesize. Bottles with droppers are handy for oils and tinctures too, howevermost come with a little dropper plug in them.

For the storage of dried herbs, nothing beats a good quality coffeejar. \Uash it out with boiling water and washing liquid, remove all tracesof the label and soak it over night in hot water to which you add a littlebleach. In the morning rinse it well, dry it and re-label it clearly with thename of what it is going to house.

Pots are good for powders and powder bases as well as incense andresins. Airtight are usually the best. They are a little trickier to find,however small honey pots and jam jars work well.

.!7ash them out as

instructed above.

Making infusions, decoctions, sacred waters, oils, unguents, salves,

balms, and certain other recipes will require the warming and boilingof ingredients, separately and together. A set of small saucepans andone large one is usually enough. Clearly mark one reserved for toxicsubstances.

MIA LABORES I

Preparation of tools is among the regular tasks or 'routinespells', known in Mexican witchcraft as 'mia labores'or 'my chores'. Among other benefits, adding these toyour repertoire greatly assists the integration of spiritand herbal work, including further exploration of thegrimoire.

PnEpRRnrroN oF INsrnuuENTS, Toor-s src.

The following consecration rites adapted from the True Grimoire maybe used for any or all of the tools mentioned above, as well as all ritualinstruments that have no specific consecration of their own. The god-names and readings given are Thelemic rather than Biblical; barbarousnames appropriate for water and fire have been selected via the EnglishQaballa, the Thelemic trinity has been substituted for Father, Son andHoly Ghost and readings from Liber LXV for the Psalms. These elementsare as useful to those reconstructing Greco-Egyptian magic from whichgoetia derives as to Thelemites. Alternative substitutions are possible,but care should be taken to make them both appropriate and 'like forlike'.

The rituals include purification with water, consecration withincense concluded with an oration and readings.

PunrrrcnrroN \nrH \TATER

Aspergation is the old term for purification with water. Until youhave made the Holy 'Water sprinkler (Aspergillus) this takes a slightlysimplified form. Take a new cup or chalice of unsalted water (I preferceramic vessels, as they are more primitive and easier to keep clean).Prepare the water with these wordst

A wash can be made for the body, home or for the consecration oftalismans and tools. A body wash is made by taking a bottle of unscentedliquid soap and adding to it essential oils, tinctures and infusions. Floorwashes, much favoured in numerous magical practices, are made in twodifferent styles:

The dry version is made with 2 cups of soda crystals, 1 cup of salt, Vz cupof bicarbonate of soda. To this, you then add 7-3 teaspoons of essential oilsand stir it together until its well blended.

The wet version is made with one bottle of unscented washing up liquid,Vz cup of bleach and 7-3 tsp of essential oils and occasionally Vz a cup ofinfusion.

A cleansing wash is made by mixing equal parts infusion and a few dropsof oil and allowing it to cool.

Scattering powders have hundreds of different uses from creatingbarriers to dressing candles and have hundreds of different purposes fromdrawing love to cursing enemies. Simple rules and instructions will followthe powders, and their uses will be detailed. Many of the recipes retain theirtraditional names and a brief history is given where applicable.

Some powders will simply require equal parts depending on the amountyou wish to make and/or have in stock, whilst others will require complexpreparation with exact measurements, of which details and instruction willbe given.

PownrRs:

Hoot foot powder

Hoot foot powder has long been in use in Hoodoo and Voodoo, especiallyin New Orleans, as a powerful cursing agent. Each practitioner will havetheir own variation on the recipe but all will contain chilies, peppers andother spicy ingredients. Hoot foot powder is designed to wear an enemydown and bring all manner of curses upon them. The powder must be laiddown where they will walk through it. This method is known as "laying a

trick". It is best dusted over the doorstep of their home early in the morningbefore they leave for work. However many inventive practitioners have beenknown to scatter it under desks where enemies sit, inside shoes and into theimprint left in mud from a footprint.

War water

This causes trouble and strife wherever it is sprinkled. Fill a masonryjar with rainwater collected during a storm and add to it iron filings, rustynails and a lodestone. Allow the water to steep for 7 days during the waningmoon. On the dark moon, strain the water and bottle it, then bury it in a

graveyard over night. Dig it up the next day and it is ready for use.

MIA LABORES IISpell for gathering herbs:

Traditionally, gathering herbs was accompanied by verbal spells. Some ofthe ideas in this spell come from such sources, which may be found in thepapyri and elsewhere. Heramael is-of course-a Verum spirit with power overherbal lore.

'I pick thee (name of plant) with my five fingered hand,Come willingly with me now to aid in all as I command.By Nu and Had and Ra-Hoor-Khu, and by Great Heramael,As thou hast Sun, water and dew, so shall ye never fail;For I have conjured thee by him with one uplifted arm,In the names of all the gods, to complete the perfect charm'.

To improve the metre: if the plant name is short say 'creature ofl andthen the name, if long just the name.

\Uhen gathering other materials for magic, consider which of the spiritsis concerned with it or with what you intend to do with it. In virtually allthese operations one is likely to work with Trimasael; either with or withoutHeramael depending on the substances used, as well as with Elelogap whengathering any type of water, and so on. Either compose a spell for the purposeor simply address the spirit(s) in appropriate terms. If the spirit's sigil can bedrawn as part of the spell then so much the better.

extremely ancient in origin. In particular, it must be realised thatnot all approaches to magick are compatible. Many modern \Testernsystems have little in common with the approach involved here. Whilea 'W'estern Grimoire underlies the family of spirits described in thisseries, great care should be taken in adapting Grimoire materials foruse with this approach.

On the other hand, this tradition has much common ground withmany traditions outside the 'Western milieu. As well as the LivingTraditions mentioned earlier, materials from ancient Greek andEgyptian sources will be found to be particularly compatible. Therelationship of these materials with the later Grimoires providesuseful indications on how to adapt the latter for usewith these spirits.The empathy this magick has with the late period in ancient Egyptinvolves another significant advantage. This period was that of theemergence of Christianity in many forms, and of Gnosticism which insome of its forms was also Christian while including philosophical,magical and astrological ideas from various sources. This magicksimilarly can be embraced by modern Gnostics of whatever religion,so long as the Spiritist approach is embraced in return.

HADEANI PRESSGUIDES TO THE LINDERWORLD

. Spirit Work SeriesAn introduction to working with spirits,particularly those of the True Grimoire.

GOETIC PHARMAKOSJust as 'goes' is an ancient term for a magician working with spirits of

the Underworld, so 'pharmakos' represents a magician working with herbs,alchemical processes and so forth. The types are not mutually exclusive, andaccordingly there are spirits of the grimoire who work with alchemy, herbs,stones, etc. These spirits are very suitable allies for magicians combiningthe work of the 'goes' and the 'pharmakos'. The purpose of this bookletthen is to detail approaches to goetic spell-work, facilitating the furtherreintegration of New World and Grimoire approaches.
