 The purpose of this booklet then is to detail approaches to goetic spell-
work, facilitating the further reintegration of New World and Grimoire
approaches. The terms used assume that the operator is working with
the spirits of the True Grimoire. Ideally, this involves the magical means
of communicating with them through the intermediary spirit Scirlin,
and standing agreements with the appropriate spirits. The methods
are however readily adapted to other systems and traditions where an
emphasis 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 spirits
of the Underworld, so 'pharmakos' represents a magician working with
herbs, alchemical processes and so forth. The types are not mutually
exclusive, and accordingly there are spirits of the grimoire who work
with alchemy, herbs, stones, etc. These spirits are very suitable allies for
magicians combining the work of the 'goes' and the 'pharmakos'.
Among the foremost spirits for the pharmakos practicing goetic
sorcery, the four sub-chiefs of Satanachia rank highly. These chiefs are
Sergutthy, Heramael, Trimasael and Sustugriel, of whom Verum says that
'These spirits are of great advantage, and they work well and speedily, in
the case that they are pleased with the operator.'
Sergutthy is said to have 'power over maidens and wives, when
things are favourable'. In fact, he is more concerned with the status and
charisma of the operator, specialising in that form of empowerment.
This is frequently accomplished by means of oils and fragrances applied
to the body at \rarious points, and in other ways. A sigil or character used
by Sergutthy is:

SERGUTTHY

Heramael is said to teach 'the art of healing, including the complete

knowledge of any illness and its cure. He also makes known the virtues
of plants, where they are to be found, when to pluck them, and their
making into a complete cure'. He is able to assist the magician in the
preparation or use of herbs for any magical purpose. A sigil or character
approved by Heramael ist

 Apparently unsuspected by many who use them, there are many gaps
in the European grimoires, even so apparently complete a manual as the
Key of Solomon. If our efforts are truly wholehearted, then these holes
render impossible all attempts at purism based on restricting ourselves to
'by the book' approaches. There is some value of course in distinguishing
between procedures that are essentially based on a single text, and those
that draw on multiple sources. However, there remains the simple fact
that none of the grimoires discusses certain essential details at all. This
being so one either has to concede that 'by the book' approaches cannot
truly 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 tools
one will require in magical work. While this apparent completeness may
itself be mere appearance, what is certainly omitted are a great many
tools that are in fact indispensable. There are specific instructions for
preparing and consecrating knives and engraving tools, even paper and
pen. By contrast the equally necessary pestle and mortar, graters, sieves
and storage jars are never mentioned. This is highly problematic as a
high state of ritual purity is required for all substances and utensils
employed, ruling out any incense or herbs prepared or stored using
unconsecrated kitchenware. Assuming that there was a cupboard full of
specially prepared tools of this nature not mentioned in the grimoire as
such, then even the original author cannot have been working solely 'by
the book'.
One possible reason why this material is missing from the texts, if
it was ever there, lies with who these texts were written for. Most of the
manuscripts are rather late, later for example than the invention of the
printing press. The balance of evidence supports the idea that many
of these manuscripts were produced for 'gentleman collectors'. This
explains, among other things, why the sword becomes a more important
instrument than in the earliest texts where it does not figure at all. It
was, after all, a weapon worn by the nobility in the 15'h century when
many of the manuscripts were produced; thus of higher status than the
more workmanlike knife.
This may also explain the absence of equipment associated with the
kitchen, the province of servants. This is illustrated, though probably
ironically, in the Cabala of the Green Butterfly:'In order to take the Green
Butterfly arm yourself with such a net that servants commonly employ in
order 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 grimoire
this text comes from is one of those interesting Franco-Italian grimoires that
was actually printed and was in reality aimed at less genteel readers!

Bowls of all shapes and sizes are required in this field of magical
work. They can be used to stir powders together, soak herbs and hold
ingredients 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 preparation
of many potions and oils. The creation of many magical oils involves
steeping herbs and resins in them for long periods. These tinctures and
decoctions require shaking and agitating that is not so practical when
done in a bowl.
Dark amber-glass bottles are good and can usually be purchased from
a good health food shop. They more often than not have more than one
size. Bottles with droppers are handy for oils and tinctures too, however
most come with a little dropper plug in them.
For the storage of dried herbs, nothing beats a good quality coffee
jar. \Uash it out with boiling water and washing liquid, remove all traces
of the label and soak it over night in hot water to which you add a little
bleach. In the morning rinse it well, dry it and re-label it clearly with the
name of what it is going to house.
Pots are good for powders and powder bases as well as incense and
resins. Airtight are usually the best. They are a little trickier to find,
.!7ash
however small honey pots and jam jars work well. them out as
instructed above.

MEnsunrNG EeUtPMENT

This comprises a good set of scales and a few measuring jugs

appropriate for liquid and for solid materials. Investing in heatproof
jugs is also a wise move.

SnucEpnNs

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

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

 MIA LABORES I

Preparation of tools is among the regular tasks or 'routine

spells', known in Mexican witchcraft as 'mia labores'
or 'my chores'. Among other benefits, adding these to
your repertoire greatly assists the integration of spirit
and herbal work, including further exploration of the
grimoire.

PnEpRRnrroN oF INsrnuuENTS, Toor-s src.

The following consecration rites adapted from the True Grimoire may
be used for any or all of the tools mentioned above, as well as all ritual
instruments that have no specific consecration of their own. The god-
names and readings given are Thelemic rather than Biblical; barbarous
names appropriate for water and fire have been selected via the English
Qaballa, the Thelemic trinity has been substituted for Father, Son and
Holy Ghost and readings from Liber LXV for the Psalms. These elements
are as useful to those reconstructing Greco-Egyptian magic from which
goetia derives as to Thelemites. Alternative substitutions are possible,
but care should be taken to make them both appropriate and 'like for
like'.
The rituals include purification with water, consecration with
incense concluded with an oration and readings.

PunrrrcnrroN \nrH \TATER

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

AND \yATERS

A wash can be made for the body, home or for the consecration of
talismans and tools. A body wash is made by taking a bottle of unscented
liquid soap and adding to it essential oils, tinctures and infusions. Floor
washes, much favoured in numerous magical practices, are made in two
different styles:

The dry version is made with 2 cups of soda crystals, 1 cup of salt, Vz cup
of bicarbonate of soda. To this, you then add 7-3 teaspoons of essential oils
and 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 of
infusion.

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

ScnrrgnrNc Po\yDERS

Scattering powders have hundreds of different uses from creating

barriers to dressing candles and have hundreds of different purposes from
drawing love to cursing enemies. Simple rules and instructions will follow
the powders, and their uses will be detailed. Many of the recipes retain their
traditional names and a brief history is given where applicable.
Some powders will simply require equal parts depending on the amount
you wish to make and/or have in stock, whilst others will require complex
preparation with exact measurements, of which details and instruction will
be given.

BASICS
These are some good basic materials to begin with and are commonly
found through out the practice of root work and herbal magick.

Properly speaking a graveyard is attached to a church whereas a cemetery
is not, but while purists may prefer to use dirt from consecrated ground, the

High John the Conqueror root powdered down to the fineness of talc.
A fine dust used in all manner of spells. It is used to gain power, bring luck,
draw and command energy, and it boosts what ever it goes into.

Magnetic sand

Valued for its attractive qualities and used to "feed" lodestones, magnetic
sand draws in the vibrations of what it is combined with. As a neutral material,
it can be employed in uncomplicated love magick or vicious cursing, drawing
negative forces to where it is laid dow

FORMULARY
PownrRs:

Hoot foot powder

Hoot foot powder has long been in use in Hoodoo and Voodoo, especially
in New Orleans, as a powerful cursing agent. Each practitioner will have
their own variation on the recipe but all will contain chilies, peppers and
other spicy ingredients. Hoot foot powder is designed to wear an enemy
down and bring all manner of curses upon them. The powder must be laid
down 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 morning
before they leave for work. However many inventive practitioners have been
known to scatter it under desks where enemies sit, inside shoes and into the
imprint left in mud from a footprint.

ltbsp of Cayenne pepper

ltsp of chili powder
ltsp of black mustard seed
% tsp rust
Vz tsp dragons blood powder
Vz tsp goat pepper powder
Vz tsp red pepper corns

Grind all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar until fine. The powder is
now ready to be used in curses, hexes and other malevolent magick. Charge
it, as you feel appropriate.

 10 drops of Ginger grass oil
10 drops of citronella oil
1 drop of vetivert
1 tsp of blessed sea salt

Chop the Lemongrass into small pieces and bruise the stems. Add them
to the oil with everything but the salt; bottle, shake, and allow it to sit for
two weeks shaking daily. After this time strain it and add to sea salt. The oil
is now ready for use and can be employed in a variety of spells.

High John the Conqueror

There are as many recipes for High John the Conqueror as there are
residents in Louisiana! Essential oil of this root is impossible to get hold of,
as the root does not produce any. It success rate in hoodoo is second to none.
High John is used in every area of success and commanding. Used for luck,
love, power and control of any situation.
Take a piece of root, grind and grate it into Jalop. Place the powder in
a dish and cover with sunflower oil. Next, powder down Yz tsp of Galangal
root and sprinkle it over the oil. Sit the dish in a warm dry place for seven
days. Strain the oil and repeat the process three times, by adding new Jalop
to the strained oil each time.

Lodestone oil

Lodestone or magnetic oil is used as bases in any drawing and attracting

oil. It is a simple recipe and requires placing nine lodestones in a jar and
feeding them up with magnetic sand. Fill the jar up with equal parts jojoba
oil, sweet almond and sunflower oil. Stir the oil everyday, clockwise, for seven
days. Strain and separate between smaller bottles. Add a small lodestone to
each bottle. You can now add love, money, protection or cursing ingredients
to them to create blends. Rest your lodestones in crossroads dirt for an equal
petiod before restarting the process.

This causes trouble and strife wherever it is sprinkled. Fill a masonry

jar with rainwater collected during a storm and add to it iron filings, rusty
nails and a lodestone. Allow the water to steep for 7 days during the waning
moon. 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 II
Spell for gathering herbs:

Traditionally, gathering herbs was accompanied by verbal spells. Some of

the ideas in this spell come from such sources, which may be found in the
papyri and elsewhere. Heramael is-of course-a Verum spirit with power over
herbal 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 and
then the name, if long just the name.
\Uhen gathering other materials for magic, consider which of the spirits
is concerned with it or with what you intend to do with it. In virtually all
these operations one is likely to work with Trimasael; either with or without
Heramael depending on the substances used, as well as with Elelogap when
gathering any type of water, and so on. Either compose a spell for the purpose
or simply address the spirit(s) in appropriate terms. If the spirit's sigil can be
drawn as part of the spell then so much the better.

extremely ancient in origin. In particular, it must be realised that
not all approaches to magick are compatible. Many modern \Testern
systems have little in common with the approach involved here. While
a 'W'estern Grimoire underlies the family of spirits described in this
series, great care should be taken in adapting Grimoire materials for
use with this approach.
On the other hand, this tradition has much common ground with
many traditions outside the 'Western milieu. As well as the Living
Traditions mentioned earlier, materials from ancient Greek and
Egyptian sources will be found to be particularly compatible. The
relationship of these materials with the later Grimoires provides
useful indications on how to adapt the latter for usewith these spirits.
The empathy this magick has with the late period in ancient Egypt
involves another significant advantage. This period was that of the
emergence of Christianity in many forms, and of Gnosticism which in
some of its forms was also Christian while including philosophical,
magical and astrological ideas from various sources. This magick
similarly can be embraced by modern Gnostics of whatever religion,
so long as the Spiritist approach is embraced in return.

. Spirit Work Series

An introduction to working with spirits,
particularly those of the True Grimoire.

GOETIC PHARMAKOS
Just 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, and
accordingly there are spirits of the grimoire who work with alchemy, herbs,
stones, etc. These spirits are very suitable allies for magicians combining
the work of the 'goes' and the 'pharmakos'. The purpose of this booklet
then is to detail approaches to goetic spell-work, facilitating the further
