Heptameron

HEPTAMERON: OR MAGICAL ELEMENTS OF PETER de ABANO, PHILOSOPHER.

IN the former book, which is the fourth book of Agrippa, it is sufficiently spoken concerning Magical ceremonies, and Initiations.

But because he seemeth to have written to the 1earned, and well experienced in this art; because he doth not specially treat of the ceremonies, but rather speaking of them in general, it was therefore thought good to add hereunto the magical elements of Peter de Abano: that those who are hitherto ignorant, and have not tasted of magical superstitions, may have them in readiness, how they may exercise themselves therein. For we see in this book, as it were a certain introduction of magical vanity; and as it were in present exercise, they may behold the distinct functions of spirits, how they m[•]y be drawn to discourse and communication; what is to be done every day, and every hour; and how they shall be read, as if they were described syllable by syllable.

In brief, in this book are kept the principles of magical conveyances. But because the greatest power is attributed to the Circles; (For they are certain fortresses to defend the operators safe from the evil spirits;) in the first place we will treat concerning the composition of a Circle.

Of the Circle, and the composition thereof.

THE form of Circles is not always one and the same; but useth to be changed according to the order of the spirits that are to be called, their places, times, days and hours. For in making a circle, it ought to be considered in what time of the year, what day, and what hour, that you make the circle; what spirits you would call, to what star and region they do belong, and what functions they have. Therefore let there be made three circles of the latitude of nine foot, and let them be distant one from another a hands breadth; and in the middle circle, first, write the name of the hour wherein you do the work. In the second place, write the name of the Angel of the hour. In the third place, the Sigil of the Angel of the hour. Fourthly, the name of the Angel that ruleth that day wherein you do the work, and the names of his ministers. In the fifth place, the name of the present time. Sixthly, the name of the spirits ruling in that part of time, and their Presidents. Seventhly, the name of the head of the sign ruling in that part of time wherein you work. Eightly, the name of the earth, according to that part of time wherein you work. Ninthly, and for the completing of the middle circle, write the name of the sun and of the moon, according to the said rule of time; for as the time is changed, so the names are to be altered. And in the outermost circle, let there be drawn in the four angles, the names of the presidential Angels of the air, that day wherein you would do this work; to wit, the name of the King and his three ministers. Without the Circle, in four Angles, let Pentagones be made. In the inner circle let there be written four divine names with crosses interposed in the middle of the circle; to wit, towards the East let there be written Alpha, and towards the West let there be writt[•]n Omega; and let a cross divide the middle of the circle. When the the circle is thus finished, according to the rule now before written, you shall proceed.

Of the names of the hours, and the Angels ruling them.

IT is also to be known, that the Angels do rule the hours in a successive order, according to the course of the heavens, and planets unto which they are subject; so that that spirit which governeth the day ruleth also the first hour of the day; the second from this governeth the second hour; the third, the third hour, and so consequently: and when seven planets and hours have made there revolution, it returneth again to the first which ruleth the day. Therefore we shall first speak of the names of the hours.

The names of the sun and moon in winter; the sun, Commutaff. The moon, Affaterim.

The Consecrations and Benedictions: and first of the Benediction of the Circle.

WHen the circle is ritely perfected, sprinkle the same with holy or purged water, and say, Thou shalt purge me with hysop, O Lord, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

T[•]e Benediction of Perfumes.

THE God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, bless here the creatures of these kinds, that they may fill up the power and virtue of their odours; so that neither the enemy, nor any false Imagination, may be able to enter into them: through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. Then let them be sprinkled with holy water.

The Exorcism of fire upon which the perfumes are to be put.

THE fire which is to be used for fumigations, is to be in a new vessel of earth or iron: and let it be exorcised after this manner. I exorcise thee, O thou creature of fire, by him by whom all things are made, that forthwith thou cast away every phantasm from thee, that it shall not be able to do any hurt in any thing. Then say, Bless, O Lord this creature of fire, and sanctify it, that it may be blessed to set forth the praise of thy holy name, that no hurt m[•]y c[•]me to the exorcisers or spectat[•]rs: through [•]ur Lord Jesus Christ, &c.

Of the garment and pentacle.

LET it be a Priests garment, if it can be: but if it cannot be had, let it be of linen, and clean. Then take this pentacle made in the day and hour of Mercury, the moon increasing written in parchment made of a kids skin. But first let there be said over it the mass of the holy Ghost, and let it be sprinkled with water of baptism.

An Oration to be said, when the Vesture is put on.

A Noor, Amacer, Amides, Theodonias, Anitor, by the merits of the a[•]gels, O Lord. I will put on the garment [•]f salvation, that this which I I desire I may bring to effect: through thee the most holy Adonay, whose kingdom endureth for ever and ever, Amen

Of the manner of working.

LET the moon be increasing and equal, if it may then be done, and let her not be combust.

The operator ought to be clean and purified by the space of nine days before the beginning of the work, and to be confessed, and receive the holy communion. Let him have ready the perfume appropriated to the day wherein he would perform the work. He ought also to have holy water from a Priest, and a new earthen vessel with fire, a Vesture and pentacle; and let all these things be rightly and duly consecrated and prepared. Let one of the servants carry the earthen vessel full of fire, and the perfumes, and let another bear the book, another the garment and pentacle, and let the Master carry the sword; over which there must be said one mass of the Holy Ghost; and on the midle of the sword, let there be written this name Alga †, and on the other side thereof the name † On †. And as he goeth to the consecrated place, let him continually read Letanies, the servants answering. And when he cometh to the place where he will erect the circle, let him draw the lines of the circle as we have before taught: and after he hath made it, let him sprinkle the circle with holy water, saying Asperges me domine, &c.

The Master therefore ought to be purified with fasting, chastity, and abstinency from all luxury the space of three whole days before the day of the operation. And on the day that he would do the work, being cloathed with pure garments, and furnished with pentacles, perfumes, and other things necessary hereunto, let him enter the circle, and call the Angels from the four parts of the world, which do govern the seven planets the seven days of the week, colours and metals; whose names you shall see in their places. And with bended knees invocating the said Angels particularly, let him say, O Angeli supradicti, est[•]te adjutores meae petitioni, & in adjutorium mihi, in meis rebus & petitionibus.

Then let him call the Angels from the four parts of the world, that rule the air the same day wherein he doeth the work or experiment. And having implored specially all the names and spirits written in the circle, let him say, O vos omnes, adjuro atque contestor per sedem Adonay, per Hagios, Theos, Ischyros, Athanatos, Paracletos Alpha & Omega, & per haec tria nomina secreta, Agla, On, Tetragrammaton, quod bodie debeatis adimplere quod cupio.

These things being performed, let him read the conjuration assigned for the day wherein he maketh the experiment, as we have before spoken; but if they shall be pertinacious and refractory, and will not yield themselves obedient, neither to the conjuration assigned to the day, nor to the prayers before made, then use the conjuration and exorcism, following.

An Exorcism of the Spirits of the air.

NOS facti ad imaginem Dei, datati potentia Dei, & ejus facti voluntate, per potentissimum & corroboratum nomen D[•]i El, forte & admirabile, vos exorcizamus (here he shall name the spirits be would have appear, of what order soever they be) & imperamus per eum qui dixit, & factum est, & per omnia nomina Dei, & per nomen Adonay, El, Elohim, Elohe, Z[•]baoth, Elion, Escerchie, Jah.

In omnibus venite per haec nomina, Adonay Zebaoth, Adonay Amioram. Venite, venite, imperat vobis, Adonay, Saday, Rex regum potentissimus & tremendissimus, cujus vires nulla subterfugere potest creatura vobis pertinacissimis futuris nisi obedieritis, & appareatis ante hunc Circulum, affabiles subito, tandem ruina flebilis miserabilisque, & ignis perpetuum inextinguibilis vos manet. Venite ergo in nomine Adonay Zebaoth, Adonay Amioram: venite, venite, quid tardatis? festinate imperat vobis Adonay, Saday, Rex regum, El, Aty, Titcip, Azia, Hyn, Jen, Minosel, Achadan, Vay, Vaa, Ey, Haa, Eye, Exe, a, El, El, El, a, Hy, Hau, Hau, Hau, Va, Va, Va, Va.

An Exorcism of the Spirits of the Air.

WE being made after the Image of God, endued with power from God, and made after his will, do exorcize you by the most mighty and powerful name of God, El, strong and wonderful (here he shall name the Spirits he would have appear, of what order soever they be) and we command you by him, who said the word and it was done, and by all the names of God, and by the name Adonay, El, Elohim, Elche, Zebaoth, Elion, Escerchie, Jah, Tetragrammaton, Saday, Lord God most high: we exorcize you, and powerfully command you, that you forthwith appear unto us, here before this circle, in a fair human shape, without any deformity or tortuosity; come ye all such, because we command you by the name Y and V, which Adam heard and spoke, and by the name of God Agla, which Lot heard and was saved with his family; and by the name Joth, which Jocob heard from the Angel wrestling with him, and was delivered from the hand of his brother Esau; and by the name Anaphexeton, which Aaron heard and spoke, and was made wise; and by the name Zebaoth, which Moses named, and all the rivers and waters in the land of Egypt were turned into blood; and by the name Ecerchie Oriston, which Moses named, and all the rivers brought forth frogs, and they ascended into the houses of the Egyptians, destroying all things; and by the name Elion, which Moses named, and the[•]e was great hail, such as hath not been since the beginning of the world; and by the name Adonay, which Moses named, and there came up locusts, which appeared upon the whole land of Egypt, and devoured all which the hail had left: and by the name Schemes amathia, which Joshua called upon, and the Sun stayed his course; and by the name Alpha and Omega, which Daniel named and destroyed Bel and slew the Dragon; and in the name Emmanuel, which the three children, Sidrach, Misach, and Abednego, sung in the midst of the fiery surnace, and were delivered; and by the name Hagios, and by the seal of Adonay, and by Iscyros, Athanatos, Paracletus; and by these three secret names, Agla, On, Tetragrammaton, I do adjure and contest you; and by these names, and by all the other names of the living and true God, and by our Lord Almighty, I exorcise and command you, by him that spake the word and it was done, to whom all creatures are obedient; and by the dreadful Judgment of God; by [•]he uncertain sea of glass; which is before the face of the divine Majesty mighty and powerful; by the four beasts before the throne, having eyes before and behind, and by the fire round about his throne, and by the holy Angels of heaven; by the mighty wisdom of God, we do powerfully exorcise you, that you appear here before this Circle to fulfil our will in all things which shall seem good unto us; by the seal of Baldachia, and by this name Primeumaton, which Moses named, and the earth opened and swallowed up Corah, Dathan, and Abiram; and in the power of that name Primeumaton, commanding the whole host of heaven, we curse you and deprive you from all your office, joy and place, and do bind you in the depth of the bottomless Pit, there to remain until the day of the last judgment; and we bind you into eternal fire, and into the lake of fire and brimstone, unless you forthwith appear here before this Circle to do our will: Therefore come ye by these names, Adonay, Zebaoth, Adonay Amioran; come ye, come y[•], Adonay commandeth you; Saday, the most m[•••]ty and dreadful King of Kings, whose [〈◊〉] no creature is able to resist, be unto you mo[•]t dreadful, unless ye obey, and forthwith affably appear before this circle, let miserable ruin and fire unquenchable remain with you: therefore come ye in the name of Adonay Zebaoth, Adonay Amioram; come, come, why stay you? hasten: Adonay, Saday, the King of Kings commands you; El, Aty, Titeip, Azia, Hin, Jen, Minosel, Achadan, Vay, Vaah, Ey, Exe, a, El, El, El, a, Hy, Hau, Hau, Hau, Va, Va, Va, Va.

A Prayea to God, to be said in the four parts of the world, in the Circle.

A Morule, Taneha, Latisten, Rabur, Teneba, Latisten, Escha, Aladia, Alpha & Omega, Leyste, Oriston, Adonay: O my most merciful heavenly Father, have mercy upon me, although a sinner: make appear the arm of thy power in me this day (although thy unworthy child) against these obstinate and pernicious Spirits, that I by thy will may be made a contemplator of thy divine works, and may be illustrated with all wisdom, and always worship and glorify thy name. I humbly implore and beseech thee, that these Spirits which I call by thy judgment, may be bound and constrained to come, and give true and perfect answers to those things which I shall ask them, and that they may declare and shew unto us those things which by me or us may be commanded them, not hurting any creature, neither injuring nor terrifying me or my fellows nor hurting any other creature, and affrighting no man; but let them be obedient to my requests in all these things which I command them. Then let him stand in the middle of the Circle, and hold his hand towards the pentacle, and say, Per Pentaculum Salomonis advocavi, dent mihi responsum verum. By the Pentacle of Solomon I have called you, give me a true answer.

Then let him say, Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachiae & Apologiae sedes, per Reges protestatesq magnanimas, ac principes praepotentes, genio, Liachidae, ministri tartareae sedes: primac, hic princeps sedis Apologiae nona coherte; Ego vos invoco, & invocando vos conjuro, atque superna Majestatis munitus virtute potenter imperio, per cum qui dixit, & factum est, & cui obediunt omnes creaturae: & per hoc nomen ineffabile, Tetragrammaton Johovah, in quo est plasinatum omne seculum, quo audito elementa corruunt, aer concutitur, mare retrograditur, ignis extinguitur, terra tremit, omnesque exercitus Caelestium, Terrestrium, & infernorum tremunt, turbantur & corruunt: quatenus cito & sine mora & omni occasione remota, ab universis mundi partibus veniatis, et rationabiliter de omnibus quacunque interrogavero, respondeatis vos, et veniatis pacifice, visibiles, et affabiles: nunc et sine mora manifestantes quod eupimus: conjurati per nomen aeterni vivi et veri Dei Helioren, et mandata nostra perficientes, persistentes semper usque ad finem, et intentionem meam, visibiles nobis, et effabiles, clara voce nobis, intelligibile, et sine omni ambiguitate.

BEralaneusis, Baldachiensis, Paumachiae et Apologiae sedes, by the most mighty Kings and Potestates, and the most powerful Princes Genio, Liachidae, Ministers of the Tartarean seat, chief Prince of the seat of Apolig[•]a in the ninth Legion; I invoke you, and by invocating conjure you, and being armed with power from the supream Majesty, I strongly command you, by him who spoke and it was done, and to whom all creatures are obedient; and by this ineffable name Tetragrmmaton Jehovah, which being heard, the Elements are overthrown, the Air is shaken, the Sea runneth back, the fire is quenched, the earth trembleth, and all the host of Celestials, Terrestrials and Infernals do tremble, and are troubled and confounded together: Wherefore forthwith and without delay, do you come from all parts of the world, and make rational answers unto all things I shall ask of you, and come ye peaceably, visibly, and affably, now without delay manifesting what we desire, being conjured by the name of the eternal, living and true God Helioren, and fulfil our commands, and persist unto the end, and according to our intentions, visibly and affably speaking unto us with a clear voice, intelligible and without any ambiguity.

Visions and apparitions.

QUibus rite peractis, apparebunt infinitae, visiones, et phantasmata pulsantia organa et omnis generis instrumenta musica, idque sit a spiritibus, ut terrore compulsi socii abeant a Circulo, quia nihil adversus magistrum possunt. Post haec videbis infinitos sagittarios cum infinita multitudine bestia[•]um horribilem: quae ita se componunt, ac si vellent devorare socios: et tamen nil timeant. Tunc Sacerdos sive Magister, adhibens manum Pentaculo, dicat: fugiat hinc iniquitas vestra, virtute vexilli Dei. Et tunc spiritus obedire magistro coguntur, et socii nil amplius videbunt.

Then let the exorcist say, stretching out his hand to the Pentacle, Ecce Pentaculum Salomonis, quod ante vestram adduxi praesentiam exorcizatoris in medio Exorcismi, qui est optime a Deo mutinus, intrepidus, providus, qui viribus potens vos exorcizando invocavii et vocat. Venite ergo cum sestinatione in virtute nominum istorum, Aye, Saraye, Aye, Saraye, Aye, Saraye, ne differatis venire, per nomina aeterna Dei vivi et veri Eloy, Archima, Kabut: et per hoc praesens Pentaculum, quod super vos potenter imperat: et per virtutem caelestium spirituum dominorum vestrorum: et per personam exorcizatoris, conjurati, festinati venire et obedire praeceptori vestro, qui vocator Octinomos. His peractis, sibiles in quatuor angulis mundi. Et videbis immediate magnos motus: et cum videris, dicas: Quid tardatis? quid moramini? quid facitis? praeparate vos et obedite praeceptori vestro, in nomine Domini Bathat, vel Vachat super Abrac ruens, supervenieus, Abeor super Aberer.

Tunc immediate venient in sua forma propria. Et quando videbis eos juxta Circulum, ostende illis Pentaculum cooperatum syndone sacro, et discooperiatur, [•]t dicat, Ecce conclusionem vestram, nolite fieri inobedientes. Et subito videbis eos in pacifica forma: et dicent tibi, Pete quid vis, quia nos sumus parati complere omnia mandata tua, quia dominus ad haec nos subjugavit. Cum autem apparuerint Spiritus, tunc dicas, Bene veneritis Spiritus, vel reges nobilissimi, quia vos vocavi per illum cui omne genu flectitur caelestium, terrestrium et infernorum: cujus in manu omnia regna regum sunt, nec est quiae suae contrarius esse possit Majestati. Quatenus constringuo vos, ut hic ante circulum visibiles, affabiles permanetis, tamdiu tamque constantes, nec sint licentia mea recedatis, donec meam sine fallacia aliqua et veredice perficiatis voluntatem, per potentiae illius virtutem, qui mare posuit terminum suum, quem praeterire non protest, et lege illius potentiae, non pertransit fines suos, Dei scilicet altissimi, regis, domini, qui cuncta creavit, Amen. Then command what you will, and it shall be done: afterwards license them thus. † In nomine Paetris, † Filii, et † Spiritus sancti, ite in pace ad loca vestra: et pax sit inter nos et vos, parati sitis venire vocati.

Visions and apparitions.

THESE things duly performed there will appear infinite Visions and Phantasms, beating of organs and all kinds of musical Instruments, which is done by the spirits, that with the terror they might force the companions to go out of the Circle, because they can do nothing against the Master. After this you shall see an infinite company of archers, with a great multitude of horrible beasts, which will so compose themselves, as if they would devour the fellows: nevertheless fear nothing.

Then the Priest or Master holding his hand towards the pentacle, shall say, Avoid hence these iniquities by virtue of the banner of God; and then will the spirits be compelled to obey the Master, and the company shall see no more.

Then let the exorcist, stretching out his hand to the pentacle say, Behold the pentacle of Solomon which I have brought before your presence. Behold the person of the exorcist in the middle of the exorcism, who is armed by God, and without fear, and well provided, who potently invocateth and calleth you by exorcizing; come therefore with speed, in the virtue of these names, Aye Saraye, Aye Saraye; defer not to come by the eternal names of the living and true God, Eloy, Archima, Rabur, and by the pentacle here present, which powerfully reigns over you, and by virtue of the celestial spirits your Lords, and by the person of the exorci[•]t, being conjured, make haste to come and yield obedience to your Master, who is called Octinomos. This being performed, there w[••]l be [•]issi[•]gs in the four parts of the world, and then immediately you shall see great motions; and when you see them, say, why stay you? wherefore do you delay? what do you? prepare yourselves to be obedient to your Master, in the name of the Lord Bathat or Vachat rushing upon Abrac, Abeor coming upon Aberer.

Then they will immediately come in their proper form; and when you see them before the Circle, shew them the Pentacle covered with fine linen; uncover it and say, behold your confusion, if you refuse to be obedient; and suddenly they will appear in a peaceable form, and will say, ask what you will, for we are prepared to fulfil all your commands, for the Lord hath subjected us hereunto: and when the spirits have appeared, then you shall say, welcome spirits, or most noble Kings, because I have called you through him to whom every knee doth bow, both of things in heaven and things on earth, and things under the earth, in whose hands are all the kingdoms of Kings, neither is their any that can contradict his Majesty. Wherefore I bind you, that you remain affable and visible before this circle, so long and so constant; neither shall ye depart without my licence, until you have truely and without any fallacy performed my will, by virtue of his power, who hath set the sea her bounds, beyond which these cannot pass, nor go beyond the law of his power, to wit, of the most high God, Lord and King, who hath created all things, Amen. † In the name of the Father, † and of the Son, † and of the holy Ghost, go in peace unto your places; peace be between us and you, be ye ready to come when ye are called.

These are the things which Peter de Abano hath spoken concerning magical elements.

But that you may the better know the manner of composing a Circle, I will set down one scheme so that if any one would make a Circle in springtime for the first hour of the Lord's day, it must be in the same manner as is the figure following.

It remaineth now, that we explain the week, the several days thereof; and first of the Lord's day.
