IX.How to Conjure the SpiritBalkinthe Master ofLuridan.AS in the former Chapter, the Exorcist is instructed to draw the form of the MountainHeclawithin the circle, so in this form of Conjuration he must do the same, adding these names to be written round the MountainThe names of Olympick Angels.Mathiel;Rahuniel, Seraphiel, Hyniel, Rayel, Fraciel. These are the names ofOlympick Angels, governing theNorth, and ruling over every airy Spirit that belongs unto theNorthernClimate; so that the authority of these names must be used in the calling up of this Spirit, because he is a great Lord, and very lofty, neither will he appear without strong and powerful Invocations.Therefore the Magician must make upon Virgin Parchment the two Seals of the Earth, and provide unto himself a Girdle made of aBears skin with a rough side next his body, and these names wrote round about in the outerside, ✠Alpha✠Coronzon, Yah, Taniah, Adonay✠Soncas✠Damael✠Angeli fortes✠pur pur✠Elibra, Elohim✠Omega✠per flammam ignis✠per vitam Coronzon✠Amen. ✠.

Amen.After the Magician hath thrice repeated this Conjuration, Let him immediately set the fire before him, and put the Rozin thereon to fumigate at the appearance of the conjured Spirits, and at the instant of their appearance he shall hold the Censer of fire in his left hand, and the Sword in his right, still turning round as the Spirits do.For in a little space after the Invocation is repeated, he shall hear the noise of Thunders, and perceive before him in the Valley a mighty storm of Lightning and Rain; after a while the same will cease, and an innumerable company of Dwarfs or Pigmies will appear mounted upon Chamelions to march towards the Circle surrounding the same.Next comesBalkinwith his Attendants; he will appear like the godBacchusupon a little Goat, and the rest that follow will march after him afoot.Assoon as they come near the Circle, they will breath out of their mouths a mist, or fog, which will even obscure the light of the Moon, and darken the Magician, that he cannot behold them nor himself; yet let him not be discomfited, or afraid, for that fog will be quickly over; and the Spirits will run round the Circle afterBalkintheir Lord, who rides upon a Goat; they will continue to surround the Circle, till the Magician begin the form of obligation or binding their Leader or King in this form, with the Sword in his right hand, the Fire and Rozin burning before him.I conjure and bind theeBalkin,who art appeared before me, by the Father, by the Son, and by the Holy Ghost, by all the holy Consecrations I have made, by the powerful Names of Heaven, and of Earth, and of Hell, that I have used and uttered in calling upon thee, by the Seals which thou here beholdest, and the Sword which I present*[* show, not give]unto thee, by this sanctified Girdle, and all the sanctified and potent thingsaforesaid, That here thou remain peaceably, and of thy present shape before the Northern quarter of this Circle, without injury to me in body, soul, or fortune; but on the contrary, to answer faithfully unto my demands, and not hence to remove, till I have licenced thee to depart, In the Name of the Father, Son, and holy Spirit. Amen./228.When he is thus obliged, he will alight from his Goat, and cause his Attendants to remove further into the Valley, then will he stand peaceably before the Circle to answer the Magician.After this the Magician shall begin to demand into his own possession a Familiar to build or pull down any Castle or strong hold in a night; and that this Familiar bring with him the Girdle of Conquest, or Victory, that the Magician being girded with the same may overcome all enemies whatsoever,And further, the Spirit is able to inform him of all questions concerning Thunder and Lightning, the Motions of the Heavens, the Comets and Apparitions in the air, Pestilence and Famine, noxious and malevolent blasts, as also of the Inhabitants of theNorthernPole, and the wonders undiscovered throughout the world.Likewise if the Exorcist inquire concerning the habitations of starry Spirits, he will readily answer him, describing their orders, food, life, and pasttime truly and exactly.After the Magician hath satisfied himself with inquiries, and curious questions unto the Spirit, there will come from amongst the company a little Spirit of a span long, like a littleEthiop, which the great KingBalkinwill deliver unto the Exorcist to continue as a Familiar with him as long as his life shall last. This familiar the possessor may name at*[* as]it pleaseth him.The three last, who had this Spirit into possession, were threeNorthernMagicians, the firstHondurosaNorwegian, who called itPhilenar, and commanded it at his pleasure with a little Bell.After himBennohis eldest Son injoy’d the same under the same name.AndSwarkzaraPolonianPriest was the last who enjoy’d it under the Name ofMuncula; all which names were imposed upon it, according to the pleasure of the Masters; and therefore the naming of this familiar is left to the discretion of the Exorcist.Now when the Master hath taken this familiar into his custody and service, the SpiritBalkinwill desire to depart, being wearied if the action continue longer then an hour. Therefore the Magician must be careful to dismiss him in this following form:Because thou hast diligently answered my demands, and been ready to come at my first call, I do here licence thee to depart unto thy proper place, without injury or danger to man or Beast; depart, I say, andbe ever ready at my call, being duly exorcized and conjured by sacred Rites of Magick; I charge thee to withdraw with quiet and peace; and peace be continued betwixt me and thee, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.Then the Spirits company will begin to march about their Prince, and in a formal Troop will march along the Valley, whilest the Magician repeatethPater Noster,&c.until the Spirits be quite out of sight and vanished.This is a compleat form of conjuring the aforesaid Spirit, according to the Rules ofVaganostustheNorwegian.

How to Conjure the SpiritBalkinthe Master ofLuridan.

AS in the former Chapter, the Exorcist is instructed to draw the form of the MountainHeclawithin the circle, so in this form of Conjuration he must do the same, adding these names to be written round the MountainThe names of Olympick Angels.Mathiel;Rahuniel, Seraphiel, Hyniel, Rayel, Fraciel.

Therefore the Magician must make upon Virgin Parchment the two Seals of the Earth, and provide unto himself a Girdle made of aBears skin with a rough side next his body, and these names wrote round about in the outerside, ✠Alpha✠Coronzon, Yah, Taniah, Adonay✠Soncas✠Damael✠Angeli fortes✠pur pur✠Elibra, Elohim✠Omega✠per flammam ignis✠per vitam Coronzon✠Amen. ✠.

And coming to the appointed place in some solitary Valley, the circle must be drawn with chalk, as the former, one circle within another, and these powerful names in the circumference,Otheos on Panthon✠Breschit, Hashamaim, Waharetz Wahayah✠Tohu✠va Bohu⚝ ✠ ✠ ✠ ⚝magnus es tu ben Elohim qui super alas ventorum equitaris✠.

This Circumscription is accounted amongst Magicians of all the most powerful and prevalent.

After this the Circle, Mountain, Fire, Turpentine, Girdle, Garments, Sword and Blood must be consecrated according to the foregoing forms of Consecration, adding also this to the end of the consecration.

Mighty art thou OAdonay, Elohim, Ya, Ya, Aie, Aie, Acimoy,who hast created the light of the day, and the darkness of the night, unto whom every knee bows in Heaven and on Earth, who hast created theTohuand theBohu,that is stupor or numbness in a thing to be admired, and mighty are thy magnificient An/gels227.DamaelandGuael,whose influence can make the winds to bow, and every airy Spirit stoop; Let thy right hand sanctifie these consecrated utensils, exterminating every noxious thing from their bodies, and the circumference of this Circle. Amen.Calerna, Shalom, Shalom, Agla on Sassur, Tafrac, Angeli fortes.In Nomine Patris, Filii, & Spiritus Sancti. Amen, Amen, Amen.After that, he shall sweep the circle gently with a Foxes tayl, and sprinkle the same round with his blood, dipping also the Sword, or anointing it with the same, and brandishing the same in his right hand, he shall begin to conjure the Spirit on this following manner:

I Exorcize and Conjure thee thou great and powerfulBalkin,Lord ofGlauron,Lord ofLuridan,and of fifteen hundred Legions, Lord of the Northern Mountains, and of every Beast that dwells thereon by the holy and wonderful Names of the AlmightyJehovah, Athanato*[* Athanatos]✠Aionos✠Dominus sempiternus✠Aletheios✠Saday✠Jehovah,Kedesh, El gabor✠Deus fortissimus✠Anapheraton, Amorule, Ameron✠ ✠ ✠Panthon✠Craton✠Muridon✠Jah, Jehovah, Elohim pentasseron✠ ✠trinus et unus✠ ✠ ✠ ⚝I Exorcize and Conjure, I Invocate and Command thee thou aforesaid Spirit, by the powers of Angels and Archangels, Cherubim and Seraphim, by the mighty PrinceCoronzon,by the blood ofAbel,by the righteousness ofSeth,and the Prayers ofNoah,by the voyces of Thunder and dreadful day of Judgment; by all these powerful and royal words abovesaid, that without delay or malitious intent, thou do come before me here at the circumference of this consecrated Circle, to answer my proposals and desires without any manner of terrible form either of thy self, or attendants; but only obediently, fairly, and with good intent, to present thy self before me, this Circle being my defence, through his power who is Almighty, and hath sanctified the same, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

After the Magician hath thrice repeated this Conjuration, Let him immediately set the fire before him, and put the Rozin thereon to fumigate at the appearance of the conjured Spirits, and at the instant of their appearance he shall hold the Censer of fire in his left hand, and the Sword in his right, still turning round as the Spirits do.

For in a little space after the Invocation is repeated, he shall hear the noise of Thunders, and perceive before him in the Valley a mighty storm of Lightning and Rain; after a while the same will cease, and an innumerable company of Dwarfs or Pigmies will appear mounted upon Chamelions to march towards the Circle surrounding the same.

Next comesBalkinwith his Attendants; he will appear like the godBacchusupon a little Goat, and the rest that follow will march after him afoot.

Assoon as they come near the Circle, they will breath out of their mouths a mist, or fog, which will even obscure the light of the Moon, and darken the Magician, that he cannot behold them nor himself; yet let him not be discomfited, or afraid, for that fog will be quickly over; and the Spirits will run round the Circle afterBalkintheir Lord, who rides upon a Goat; they will continue to surround the Circle, till the Magician begin the form of obligation or binding their Leader or King in this form, with the Sword in his right hand, the Fire and Rozin burning before him.

I conjure and bind theeBalkin,who art appeared before me, by the Father, by the Son, and by the Holy Ghost, by all the holy Consecrations I have made, by the powerful Names of Heaven, and of Earth, and of Hell, that I have used and uttered in calling upon thee, by the Seals which thou here beholdest, and the Sword which I present*[* show, not give]unto thee, by this sanctified Girdle, and all the sanctified and potent thingsaforesaid, That here thou remain peaceably, and of thy present shape before the Northern quarter of this Circle, without injury to me in body, soul, or fortune; but on the contrary, to answer faithfully unto my demands, and not hence to remove, till I have licenced thee to depart, In the Name of the Father, Son, and holy Spirit. Amen./

228.When he is thus obliged, he will alight from his Goat, and cause his Attendants to remove further into the Valley, then will he stand peaceably before the Circle to answer the Magician.

After this the Magician shall begin to demand into his own possession a Familiar to build or pull down any Castle or strong hold in a night; and that this Familiar bring with him the Girdle of Conquest, or Victory, that the Magician being girded with the same may overcome all enemies whatsoever,

And further, the Spirit is able to inform him of all questions concerning Thunder and Lightning, the Motions of the Heavens, the Comets and Apparitions in the air, Pestilence and Famine, noxious and malevolent blasts, as also of the Inhabitants of theNorthernPole, and the wonders undiscovered throughout the world.

Likewise if the Exorcist inquire concerning the habitations of starry Spirits, he will readily answer him, describing their orders, food, life, and pasttime truly and exactly.

After the Magician hath satisfied himself with inquiries, and curious questions unto the Spirit, there will come from amongst the company a little Spirit of a span long, like a littleEthiop, which the great KingBalkinwill deliver unto the Exorcist to continue as a Familiar with him as long as his life shall last. This familiar the possessor may name at*[* as]it pleaseth him.

The three last, who had this Spirit into possession, were threeNorthernMagicians, the firstHondurosaNorwegian, who called itPhilenar, and commanded it at his pleasure with a little Bell.

After himBennohis eldest Son injoy’d the same under the same name.

AndSwarkzaraPolonianPriest was the last who enjoy’d it under the Name ofMuncula; all which names were imposed upon it, according to the pleasure of the Masters; and therefore the naming of this familiar is left to the discretion of the Exorcist.

Now when the Master hath taken this familiar into his custody and service, the SpiritBalkinwill desire to depart, being wearied if the action continue longer then an hour. Therefore the Magician must be careful to dismiss him in this following form:

Because thou hast diligently answered my demands, and been ready to come at my first call, I do here licence thee to depart unto thy proper place, without injury or danger to man or Beast; depart, I say, andbe ever ready at my call, being duly exorcized and conjured by sacred Rites of Magick; I charge thee to withdraw with quiet and peace; and peace be continued betwixt me and thee, In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Then the Spirits company will begin to march about their Prince, and in a formal Troop will march along the Valley, whilest the Magician repeatethPater Noster,&c.until the Spirits be quite out of sight and vanished.

This is a compleat form of conjuring the aforesaid Spirit, according to the Rules ofVaganostustheNorwegian.
