photographs of the manuscripts, which have been in Internet circulation for a while (as a PDF, date-stamped 2003,
which included all three, with pages jumbled). The digitisation process reduced the greyscale photographs to 1-bit
black & white, albeit at fairly high resolution (probably 500 dpi or more effective) resulting in some loss of detail;
rubricated text in particular is frequently nigh-unreadable and in places completely unreadable.

On the transcription.
English spelling has been retained as far as the text is legible. English orthography was not standardised at the time
these MSS. were written, and it is not unusual to see multiple spellings of a word in the course of a single page.
Simiarly, capitalisation and punctuation have generally been retained.
Names of angels, spirits &c. are standardised in so far as, if a name is spelt one way in the majority of instances
over the course of a particular text (or if, as in the case of Clavicula Tabularum Enochi, there is a “correct” orthography),
variants that only occur once are generally treated as copyist errors. If there is sufficient variation to make establishing
a standard orthography impossible, then the variants are transcribed.
Words or parts of words lost in the gutter or to torn edges are conjecturally restored from context where possible,
flagged with double square brackets — ⟦these things⟧
Boldface has been used to represent words that are lettered out rather than written cursively, typically names of
angels or spirits, names or titles of God, &c. Rubrication is used for titles and emphasised names where the MS. is
apparently rubricated, but is not always followed where doing so would reduce readability (e.g., in the S5 Janua Magica
Reserata, the first few words of practically every paragraph are rubricated).
Scribal abbreviations have been expanded (ye for ‘the,’ ym for ‘them, ’yt for ‘that,’ -c͠on for ‘-tion,’ wch for ‘which,’
w for ‘what,’ wth for ‘with,’ -mts for ‘-ments,’ tildes used to indicate doubled consonants, &c.) with the exception that
t

‘&’ for ‘and’ is retained as this is still in general use in English.


Line breaks are not noted or reproduced. Catch-words (and words duplicated in the text body over page breaks)
are not transcribed. Cancelled text is footnoted rather than included in the body.
The start of each manuscript page is noted in square brackets, in blue, with the current official foliation of the
main source MS.
All figures have been redrawn.

RESERATA
This treatise on angel-magic, featuring conjurations for the nine orders of angels of the Celestial Hierarchy of pseudo-
Dionysius,1 is extant in a copy which forms the first half or so (fol. 3-96) of BL Sloane MS. 3825. This copy contains
some scribal errors, and corrections in a second hand—apparently that of Elias Ashmole (1617-1692) who almost
certainly owned that copy for a time—indicating it was not the original author’s fair copy. No other complete MS.
copies are currently known.

According to a note in Sloane MS. 3824 (fol. 31r), Ashmole had in his possession for a time “another MS. Coppy of
part of this Book; which reached only to the Isagogicall Observations in pag. 75” 2 which contained substantial
additional text not in the S5 copy; Ashmole characterised the additional passages as having been “inserted by Dr. R.”
and copied them into the same notebook (now S4 fol. 32r-52v). 3

Either Ashmole or a later owner of the S5 copy bound it together with a copy of the Lemegeton, a 17th-century English
compilation of Solomonic magical texts.4 The codex was acquired by English politician and lawyer John Somers (or
Sommers) (1651-1716) and later inherited by his protégé and brother-in-law Joseph Jekyll (1663-1738); after Jekyll’s
death it was purchased, along with others on similar subjects, by Hans Sloane, whose collection was in turn acquired in
1753 by the newly-established British Museum.5

1
A Christian theologian of ca. 500 c.e. heavily influenced by the later Platonists, particularly Proclus, who adopted as a pseudo-
epigraphic persona “Dionysius the Areopagite” (mentioned in the “Acts of the Apostles” as an Athenian jurist converted to
Christianity by Paul of Tarsus). In Περὶ τῆς Οὐρανίας Ἱεραρχίας (“Concerning the Celestial Hierarchy,” widely cited by the Latin
title De Cœlesti Hierarchia) he extracted from the Old and New Testament nine names that either clearly did in context, could
plausibly be taken to, or with some creative interpretation of the text could be made to refer to classes of celestial entities working for
God in some way, shape or form, and arranged them in an ordered hierarchy as three groups of three: from the top Seraphim,
Cherubim, Thrones; Dominations, Powers (“potestates” in the following), Virtues; Principalities, Archangels, Angels. The scheme
was effectively made official Church dogma under Pope Gregory (r. 590-604) and elaborated / commented on by Thomas Aquinas
(Summa Theologia, I. 108).
In Agrippa’s De Occulta Philsophia libri tres, the pseudo-Dionysian scheme is equated with the scales of the numbers 3, 4, 9, 10 and
12, with “Blessed Souls” or various subdivisions thereof added to fill out the scheme were necessary. In the case of the scale of no. 10,
since this also equated them with a scheme of Kabbalistic angels from Reuchlin, this led to some anomalies since “Seraphim” and
“Cherubim” appear in both lists in different places.

Fol. 40r at current official foliation (these page numbers appear at top centre and start on the current fol. 3r).
3
These excerpts are not included in the present edition, as adding little of value to it compared to their length: I have transcribed
them and web-published them separately, and they are also included in an in-progress typeset of the whole of S4 that I’ve been
working on. S4 also contains, in other hands, some other materials related to the Janua; these, being relatively short, are transcribed in
an appendix.
4
The texts making up the Lemegeton include material derived from printed books of 1656-1665, giving a terminus a quo for the
collection being assembled; a terminus ante quem is provided by a scribal note on one copy (Sloane MS. 2731) which in turn
incorporates variant readings from at least two earlier copies, indicating the scribe began to copy it in January 1686.
5
See Chardonnens, “Magic Manuscripts from Somers and Jekyll.” These are now Sloane 3677-79, 3821, 3822, 3824-26, 3846-57 and
3883-85. The collection now denoted Additional 36,674 was also formerly owned by Somers and Jekyll, and then went through a
succession of private collectors before being acquired by the British Musem in 1902. Several of these were previously in the
possession of Elias Ashmole and some were scribed in whole or part by him.

8 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
The Janua comprises a theoretical preface (fol. 3r-40r in S5), the bulk of which consists in turn of excerpts from
Cornelius Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy with some connecting text,6 a few pages of rubric and
instructions, a preliminary prayer and nine verbose conjurations (each a single run-on sentence of over 1600 words),
varying only in the names appropriate to the hierarchy and, in the case of the third through to the ninth, in references
to the days of the week of Creation in Genesis I, each followed by a shorter second conjuration or “Replication.”

A copy of the practical part, with some rearrangements, minor verbal variations, and completely different designs for
the seals of the angels, forms part of the magical miscellany now denoted BL Harley MS. 6482, 7 under the title, “Dr.
Rudd’s Nine Hyerarches of Angels with their Invocations to Visible Appearance.”8 The conjurations (including the
preliminary prayer but without the rubric or the “Replications”) were also copied into a manuscript book now denoted
BL Sloane MS. 3628, the final volume of the records of a group that met 1671-88 for “conferences with angels and
spirits”9 (including a few, such as Madimi, Galvah and Murifri, unheard of prior to the Dee-Kelly Spirit Actions); their
appearance in this context strongly suggests that this group used them as part of their workings.

6
The Agrippa material is either verbatim from the English translation by “J.F.” published in 1651, or so closely worded as to make
independent translation highly implausible, and perpetuates errors in the print edition. Other identifiable sources include, but are not
limited to, John Dee’s Spirit diaries as published by Meric Casaubon in A True & Faithful Relation of what passed for many Yeers
between Dr. John Dee […] and some Spirits (cited as T&FR), Arbatel de magia veterum (Arbatel of Magick), the pseudo-Paracelsan
Archidoxes Magica, and the Heptameron seu elemental magica of pseudo-Abano (originally published in Latin in 1559 bound up with the
De Occulta Philosophia liber quartus spuriously attributed to Cornelius Agrippa, later included in tom. i. of Agrippa’s collected works,
and printed in English translation by Robert Turner along with other works on magic and divination in 1655). The seals in the
second part derive from the Calendarium naturale magicum perpetuum of Johan Baptista Großchedel ab Aicha, printed at Frankfurt in
1618.
7
Early 18th century: a scribal note indicates the Janua material as having been copied 1712, although portions of the MS. may be
earlier; a frontispiece figure bears the date “1699.” Cited as “H2.” Typeset as A Treatise on Angel Magic, ed. by Adam McLean. The
first part of this codex (pp. 23-169 of the typeset) is a collection of extracts, drawn mainly from published books, but with derivations
from the Lemegeton (a copy of which by the same scribe, with some rearrangements and elaborations, is now Harley MS. 6483) and
some original material loosely based on John Dee’s “Holy Table” (as printed on the frontespiece plate to T&FR). The extracts from
Agrippa have some overlap with the preliminary part of the Janua, but are not as systematically arranged.
Some of the Janua material in H2, or another manuscript with the same rearrangements and interpolated sub-titles (up to the end
of the first ‘Key’), was in turn copied in MS. prior to 1821; this MS. was for a time in the possession of the painter Richard Cosway,
and was typeset in The Familiar Astrologer by Robert “Raphael” Cross Smith, first published in 1828.
Another MS. copy of “Dr. Rudd’s Nine Hierarchies of Angels” was made in the 1830s by Frederick Hockley, along with a copy of
the English text of Dee’s Claves Angelicæ and a ritual for invocation of the angels of the “Tables of Enoch” (deriving from Clavicula
Tabularum Enochi); a facsimile and transcription was published in 2013 by the Teitan Press (I have not seen this work so am going on
the publisher’s description and the one review I was able to find).
8
“Dr. Rudd” was plausibly the same “Dr. R” to whom Ashmole ascribed the interpolated passages in a variant copy of the preliminary
section of the Janua. A figure copied by Ashmole into an earlier part of Sloane MS. 3824 includes the name of “John Rudd” as the
beneficiary of a process for recovering stolen goods. The matter is made murky by the fact that Peter Smart (if that really was his
name), scribe of H2 and several associated manuscripts (BL Harley MSS. 6479-6486), also attributed to “Dr. Rudd” material derived
(or flat-out plagiarised) from printed books of 1650-90, leading A.E. Waite, for example, to suspect (Brotherhood of the Rosy Cross, p.
401) that “Rudd is a figment of the brain of Smart.”
9
The full series of these records comprises Sloane MSS. 3624-3628. There have to my knowledge been no detailed studies of these
journals published; Deborah Harkness, who first drew general attention to them in John Dee’s Conversations with Angels, devotes only
a few lines to them (Epilogue, pp. 222-3); slightly more information is given in Asprem, Arguing with Angels, p. 31.
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 9

Janua Magica Reserata10


The Most Incomprehensible & abundant God, hath framed two Images Like unto himself, &
they are the world & Man, that in one of these he might be delighted to behould all those his ⟨is⟩
Greatly Various, Manifold, Admirable & wonderfull works of the Creation & operations; & in the
other be glorified, who seeing he is one, [he hath created the world One, seeing he is Infinite,]11
hath Created the world, Round, seeing he is Eternall, hath Created the world Immoveable,
Seeing he is Immense, hath created the world the Greatest of all things, Seeing his is the Cheifest
Life, he hath Adorned the world with Vitall Seeds, begetting all things out of himself, & seeing
he is Omnipotent, By his will alone (not by any Necessity of nature) hath Created the world (not
out of any foregoing Matter, but) out of nothing; & seeing he is the Cheife Goodness,
Embracing his word, which is the Idea of all things (ab origine) with his Choicest & Eseentiall1
Love; he hath fabricated this Externall12 world, After that Example of the Internall, or Ideall
World, sending forth nothing of the Essence of the Idea; butt Created of Nothing that which he
had from the Eternity by the Idea.

He Created Man Also after his owne Image, for as the world is the Image of God, so man is the
Image of the World.

We must observe this by the way, that man is not Created Simply of the Image of God, But after
the Image, or the Image of the Image, wherefore he is Called Microcosme or the Lesser world.

[3v]Now the true Image of God is his Word, the Wisdome, Light, Life & truth, Existing by
himself, of which Image Mans soul is the Image; Therefore we are said to be made after the
Image of God, not after Image of the world, or of the Creatures, For as God Cannot be touched
nor perceived by the Ears, nor Seen with the Eyes, so the soul of man Can be nither Seen heard
nor touched, And as God him selfe is Infinite, & Cannot be Compelled by any, So also the mind
of man is free, & Cannot be Enforced or bounded, As God Comprehendeth this whole world, &
whatso Ever is in it, in his mind alone; so the mind of man Comrehends it Even in thought, And
as God moveth & Governeth all this world by his Beck alone, So mans Mind Ruleth &
Governeth his Body; Therefore man is Called the Other world, & the Other Image of God,
because he hath in himself All that is Contained in the greater world; so that there Remaineth
nothing which is not found Even truly & Really in man, himself performing the same Dutyes in
him as in the Greater World.

There are in him the four Elements, with the most true propertyes of their Natures, And also an
Ethereall Body, Likewise the Chariot of the Soul in proportion Corresponding to the Heaven.

There are in him the Vegetative Life of plants, the senses of Animalls, Angelicall Reason, Divine
Understanding, & the true Conjunction & Divine possession of all these things, flowing together
into one, wherefore wee may truly say, That man is Called Every [4r] Creature, not onlely as

being made another World, that he Comprehends all the parts thereof in himself, but also doth
Receive & Containe Even God himself, As Saint paul Clearly Expresseth, saying ye are the
temple of God.

Hence it is no absurd unjust, or Atheisticall tenet, nor any ways unbeseeming a Christian to
Confirme this tenet, and say, that man is the most Express Image of God, seeing he Containeth
in himself, all things which are in God.

But note, that God by a Certaine Eminency Containeth all things by his power (simply as the
beginning of all things) And he hath given this power to man, That he should in Like manner
Containe All things, but it is by a Certaine Act & Composition, as the bond, tye and Knot of all
things; Therefore man only Rejoyceth in this honour, that he hath a similitude with all operation
withall, & Conversation withall.

He Symboliseth with the matter in a proper subject, with the Elements in a fourfold body, with
plants in a fourfold13 vertue, with Animalls in a Sensitive faculty, with the Heavens in an Etheriall
spirit, & Influx of the Superiour parts in the Inferiour, with the Angels in Wisdome &
Understanding, with God in Containing all things.

He is preserved with God and the Intelligences by faith & wisdome, with the Heavens &
Heavenly things, by Reason & Discourse, with all Inferiour things, by Sense & Dominion, &
acteth with all & hath power on all, Even on God himself, by knowing & Loving him.

As God knoweth all things, so man also Can know all things Intelligible, seeing he hath for an
Adequate objsect Ens in General, or Trith it selfe, neither Is there any Dispoisition nor thing
found in man, in which something14 of Divinity may not shine forth; neither is there any thing
in God which15 may not also be Respresented in man.

[4v] Whosoever therefore shall know himselfe, shall know all things in himself, And more
Especially he shall know God, according to whose Image he wwas made, he shall know the
world the Resemblance of which he Beareth, And he shall know all Creatures with which he
Symbolizeth, & obtaine all the Secret & true understanding, that Can be had from Angels, spirits,
Heavens, Elements, Animals, plants, stones, & whatsoever Els, & how all things may be fixed for
all & Every purpose or purposed, in and According to their time, place, order, Measure,
proportion & Harmony.16

By how much the more Everyone one shall know himself, by soe much he obtaineth the greater
power of attracting the Like Qualityes & Vertues, & Likewise Operateth Greater & more
wonderfull things, & so by consequence & course Gradually assends to so Great perfection, that
he is made the son of God, & is transformed into that Image which is God, & is united with him.
A Gift that is not Granted to Angels, the world, or any Creature, butt to man Onely.

Probably an error for “vegetative” (this passage is otherwise verbatim from the 1651 OOP).
14

15
Originally written “[…] any thing in which God,” corrected sec. man.
16
The corresponding passage in OOP (p. 460) here continues “and can draw and bring to himself, even as a Loadstone
Iron; And Geber in his summ of Alchimy teacheth, that no man can come to the perfection of this art, who shall not
know the principle of it in himself, but by how much the more every one shall know himself […]”
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 11
Thus man, having power to be made the son of God, & to be united to God, all things which are
in man are united also, Especially his mind, then his spirit, then his Animall powers, & then his
vegetative facultyes &c.17

And this dignity of the Divine Image, is the proper & peculiar Gift to man & Comon to no other
Creature.18

There are three things placed in man, thus Distinguished according to their respective Divisions,
parts & Qualityes:

{
Supreame,
The Lowest,
Middle,

[5r] The Supream, is that Divine thing which is Called the mind, or Superiour portion, or
illuminated Intellect; Moses Called ith the breath of Life (that is) Breath from God, or his spirit
inspired into us.

The Lowest is the Sensitive Soul, which is also Called an Image, Saint paul nameth it the Animall
Man.

The Middle is the Rationall spirit, Knitting & tying together, both Extreams; (that is) the Animall
Soul with the mind, Savoring of the Nature of Both Extreams, yet it differeth from the
Illuminated Intellect, the mind high & Supream portion; it Differeth also from the Animall Soul,
from the which the apostle teacheth us, that we ought to Separate it by the power of the word of
God, saying the word of God is Lively & powerfull, more penetrating then a two Edged Sword,
pirceing Even to the dividing of the Soul & Spirit.

As the supreme portion, never Sinneth nor Consenteth to Evill, but always Resisteth Errour, &
Exorteth to the best things; so the Inferiour portion & Animall Soul, is always overwhelmed in
Evill, In sin & Concupisence & draweth to the worst things, of which Saint Paul saith, I see
another Law in my Members, Leading me Captive to the Law of Sin.

The mind being the Illuminated Intellence is never Damned, butt (although its Companions are
to be punished) goeth away unhurt Into its Originall; But the spirit, the Reasonable Soul, seeing
it is by nature free, & can according to its pleasure, adhere to Either [5v] of them, if it Contantly
adhere to the Superiour portion, it is att Length, United & Beautified with it, untill it be assumed
into God, and if adhere unto the Inferiour or Animall man, it is Depraved & becomes Vicious,
untill it be made a wicked spirit.19

The corresponding passage in OOP (loc. cit.) here continues, “and the Elements are to the matter, drawing with it self
even the body, whose form it hath been, leading it forth into a better condition, and an heavenly nature, even untill it
be glorified into Immortality. And this which we have spoken is the peculiar gift of man […]”

From the start of the text to here is adapted, with some slight rephrasing and omissions, and a few connecting
phrases and sentences added (including the paragraph, “Hence it is no absurd, unjust, or Atheistical tenet”), from OOP,
Book III, chap. 36, “Of Man, how whe was created after the Image of God,” pp. 457-461 of the 1651 English edition:
much of it is closely or identically worded to J.F.’s translation.
19
From “There are three things” to here is adapted from the same chapter of OOP, p. 462. This will also serve as an
illustration of the methodology employed by the redactor of the Janua. Agrippa’s text, as translated by J.F., begins:
12 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

The Soul of Man, Being a Certaine Divine Light, Created after the Image of the word, the
Causes of Causes, & first Example & Substance of God, Let us now treate somewhat thereof in
particular, & through what means it is joined to the body &c.
It is a Certaine Divine Substance, Individuall & wholy present in Every part of the body, so
produced, by an incororall Author, that It Depdendeth by the power of the Agent only.20
The soul is a substantiall number, Uniforme, Rationall & Conversive unto it selfe, for Exceeding
all boyes and Materiall things, the partition whereof is not according to the manner, nor
proceeding from inferior & Grosser things, butt from the Efficient Cause: Neither is it a
Quantitative Number, but removed from all Corporeall Laws, whence it is not Divided nor
Multiplyed by parts.
Therefore the Soul of man is a Certaine Divine Substance, flowing from a Divine fountaine,
carrying along with it selfe Number: not that divine one by which the Creator hath disposed all
things, but a Rationall number, by which seeing it hath proportion to all things, it can
understand all things.
Now Mans Soul, immediately proceeding from God the Efficient Cause,21 Is joined by
[6r]
Competent Means to the Grosser body, whence first of all, In its Descent, it is Involved in a
Cœlestiall and Ayeriall body, Called the Cœlestiall Vehicle or Chariot of the Soul.
Through this Middle thing, by the Command of God, who is the Centre of the World, it is first
Infused into the Middle point of the Heart, which is the Centre of mans body, & from thence it
diffuseth through all the parts and Members thereof, when it joyneth with his Chariot to the
Natural heat, being a spirit Generated toto the heart by heat, by this it plungeth it selfe into the
Humors, whereby it inhereth in all the members, & to all these is made Equally the Neighest,
although it be diffused through one to another, And thus it is manifest, how the immortall soul
by an Immortall body (that is to Say) an Etheriall Vehicle, is included in a Glasse22 and Mortall
Body.

“[…] Plotine [Plotinus] and all the Platonists, after Trismegist [Hermes Trisemegistus, the imputed author of a
corpus of theosophical, alchemical, astrological and magical literature of late antiquity], in like manner, place
three things in man, which they call the Supreme, lowest, and middle: The Supreme is that Divine thing which
they call the mind, or superior portion, or illuminated intellect. Moses in Genesis calleth it the breath of life, viz.,
breath from God or his spirit inspired into us; The lowest is the Sensitive soul which they also call an Image: Paul
the Apostle nameth it the Animall man. The middle is the reasonable spirit knitting and tying together both
extreames, viz., the Animal soul with the mind savouring of the nature of both extreams: yet it differeth from that
Supream which is called the illuminated intellect, the mind, light and supreame portion. […]”

The redactor of the Janua, in incorporating passages from Agrippa, omitted all general or specific citations of
authorities, whether classical poets, Hermes Trismegistus, Plato or later Platonists, or even (in other passages) Christian
theologians such as Augustine of Hippo, that were not in the Bible.
20
The corresponding text in OOP (p. 465) continues “not by the bosome of the matter.”
21
The corresponding text in OOP (loc. cit.) reads “Therefore mans soul being such, according to the opinion of the
Platonists, immediately proceeding from God”
22
sic in S5: the corresponding text in OOP (p. 466) has “grosse.”
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 13
But when these Middle things doe dissolve or fail, by any Disease or some Accidentall Mischeife,
then doth the soul, by these Middle things, Recollect it selfe, and floweth back into the heart,
which was the first Receptacle of the Soul.

But the Spirit of the heart failing, and heat being Extinct, it leaveth him & man dyeth, and the
soul flyeth way with the Cœlestiall Vehicle &c.23

Every Noble Soul is said to have a fourfold operation, And that is thus:

The first Divine, By the Image of the Divine propriety.

The Second Intellectuall, by formality of participation with the Intelligences.

The Third Rationall, by the perefection of its proper Essentiall Essence.

[6v] The fourth Animall or Naturall, by Communion with the body & those Inferiour Things.

So that their is no Work in the whole world, so admirable, so Excellent, so wonderfull, which the
Soul of man (being Associated to his Image of Divinity) standing & not falling, cannot
Accomplish by its owne power, without any Externall help.24

Now we have in breif, treated of the Cœlestiall propertyes of the Soul of man, and the Dignityes
thereof, & its Conjunction to the body; we will now shew forth the Dignity of the body, & how
through Each degree of depencency, his Mind ascends into the intelligible World, & becomes
more Sublime, like unto the Intelligences &c.

The Omnipotent God, in the admirable Creation & Composure of the World, with the Diversity
& Distinction of all the Creatures therein, and the severall forms, shapes, dispositions & natures
thereof; Although te Least of them may in Cosideration, take us up with Wonder and
Astonishment perpetually; yet in his Omnipotency & power who Created them, they were facile
& Easy, for he spake but the word, & they were made made, according to their time, order &
degree.

But when man was to be made as Lord & Ruler of the rest, there was a Counjuction of the trinity,
& Consultation of the godhead, about the predicament of so Excellent a Creature; Let us make
man according to our Image, endow him with Soul & body, Capability & [7r] Reason, giveing
him dominion over the Fowles25 of the Ayr, the fishes of the Sea, & all the Creatures of the Earth
/ saith the text word &c.26

where sentence being pronounced, God quietly leadeth forth the good souls to glory: the evil the fierce devil draggeth
to punishment.”

The last few words possibly a scribal / author’s note to look up the actual text from Genesis and put it in.
14 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
Therefore man thus Deliberately made, thus highly honoured, Endued with a forme so
Angellicall, perogatives So Royall, a stature of body so Ascendant, & lifted up towards heaven, an
minde so delate27 and Ample, able to Comprehend the hight & depths of Mysteryes, measuring
the world in a moment (yet not Containted in the world).

The Contemplation whereof, made the Kingly prophet and psalmist Daivd (being stirred up with
wonder and love of such a workman) to Break forth into this passion, psal: 138:28 I will Magnife
thy name O Lord, how wonderfully am I made, all the works of thy hands are wonderfull as my
Soul hath tasted, and knoweth right well, my Mouth was not hid from thee, being made in
Darknesse; How wonderfully was I fashioned In the womb of my Mother; Thine Eyes saw me a
Rude & indigested Heap, & all my Members to thee were as written in a Book, which afterwards
were not perfected but in many Days. [A]29

Behold then Man is a great Miracle, an Animal to be Honoured and adored, for the Soul being
Converted and made like unto God, is so formed of God, that it doth above all Intellect Know all
things by a Certaine Contract of Divinity, so the body adhering to & following the image of the
Soul, According to the Cœlestiall faculty, being strongly armed with faith, stedfastly Resolved
with hope, Clothed with the unspotted Ornaments of Love & Chastity,30 it passeth into the
nature of God, whereby he combines God. [7v] He knows the Rise of Demons, & himself to
have his Originall with them, dispising the part of humane nature, in himself, having a sure
Confidence of the Divinity of the Soul, by which he obtaines, Whatsoever he Asketh at the
hands of God, by the help of Angelicall Ministery & Conversing with those blessed Creatures,
&c.31

The Virtues of our Works therefore being Drawn from the Archetype himself, according to the
Harmony of the Microcosm, being the Image of the Divine Idea, powerfully attracks the
Correspondency & attendance of the Good Angels to our Assistance, Comeplls all Evill spirits to
our Commands & subjection, Submits all the powers of the world unto our Service, yea all
Creatures both necessarily Obey us, & all the Quier of heaven doth follow us, whose office it is to
Execute his Commands, who then according to Gods decress & their duty, doth Manage our
affairs and petitions according to our desires.32

In the next place, Before we Enter to treat on the proper subject which we intend, Let us take a
view of some necessary directions, as certain paths to lead us the next way unto the truth, unto
which sore is three Guides, namely Love Hope and Faith.

Apparently an obsolete word: possibly connected with “dilate” in the sense of “expand.”

rearrangement of vv. 13-16.
29
Capital letters in bold face and square brackets are insertion marks that were added by Elias Ashmole for passages
which appear in another copy of the Janua to which he had access, but were not in the S5 copy: they were copied by
Ashmole into another notebook which now forms part of BL Sloane MS. 3824 (fol. 32-59).
30
Thus in S5. Possibly an error for “Charity”: the third of Paul of Tarsus’ triad of theological virtues (ἀγαπη) was
frequently translated thus at the time.
31
This section is possibly original text: in any case, it is not from OOP.
32
This passage is loosely paraphrased from the dedicatory epistle of the third book of OOP (p. 342).
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 15
Love is the Chariot of the Soul, of all faculties the most Excellent, Decending from the
Intelligences above, to the most inferior things It Congregates & Converts our mind into the
Divine Beauty, preserves us in all our Workes, gives Events according to our Wishes, and
Administereth power to our supplications:33 Hope immovably hanging on those things it desireth,
when it is certain and not wavering, nourisheth the mind & brineth it to perfection.

Faith the Superiour Vertue of all, not grounded on humane fictions but divine Revelations,
[8r]
wholly pirceth all things through the whole world; for Seeing it desends from above, from the
first Light, & remains nearest to it, is far more noble and Excellent, then all the art Sciences, &
beleifs arising from Inferiour things; By faith is man Made somewhat the Same with the
Superiour powers, and Enjoyeth the same power with then; Faith is the Root of all miracles, by
which alone we approach to God, from whome we Obtaine divine power & perfection’
wherefore all things are to be beleeved, because all things are Easie to God; nothing is impossible
to him, therefore nothing is incredible; and he who shall fail In his faith, shall do nothing worthy
⟬of⟭ Admiration, but rather Incur punishment & sustaine Lose therefore.34

Our mind therefore, being divine & pure, inflamed with a Religious Love, Adorned with hope,
directed by faith, placed in the Highth & top of the humane Soul, doth sudainely Attract &
Comprehend the Very truth, & beholde all the stations, Grounds, Causes & Sciences of things,
both naturall & immortall, in the Divine truth it selfe, the first Cause (as it were) in a Certain
Glass of Eternity.

Hence it comes to pass, that we (though naturall) know these things that are above nature, &
understand all things below; And it is not in Sciences at Arts onely, that the Understanding
Challengeth to it selfe, those35 Divine or Cœlestiall Vertues, but also Receiveth this miraculous
power, in certain things, by command to be changed.

So although we are framed a natural body, yet we sometimes predominate over nature, & cause
such wonderfull, suddaine & difficult Operations, as that Angels & spirits Obey us, 36 the stars are
disordered, the Heavenly [8v] powers compelled, the Elements made obedient, &c.37

Our Intellect therefore, if it would work any admirable thing, Experiment, peration or Effect in
these inferiours, must have a Respect to its Beginning, that it may be strengthened & Clustrated
(?) thereby, & receive power of acting through Each Degree, from the first Author.

33
The corresponding text in OOP (p. 356) continues “[…] as we read in Homer, Apollo heard Chrysons prayers
because he was his very great friend: and some read of Mary Magdalene in the Gospell, many sins were forgiven her,
because she loved much; But hope […]”

From “In the Next place” to here is adapted from OOP Book III, ch. 5, “On the three Guides of Religion, which

35
Doubtful word. The corresponding text in OOP (p. 357) has “challengeth to it self this divine vertue.”
36
The corresponding text in OOP (loc. cit.) reads “as that the evil spirits obey us”: this was manifestly a deliberate
change, since the processes of Janua do not directly deal with “evil spirits.”
37
From “Our mind therefore” to here is adapted from OOP Book III, ch. 6, “How by these guides the soul of man
ascendeth up into the Divine nature, and is made a worker of Miracles.”
16 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
For it is a Certain Maxime, and an Observable rule, that whosoever doth the more Exactly
imitate the Cœlestiall Bodyes, Either in nature, Study, Action, Motion, Gesture, Contentance,
passions of the mind, and Opertunity of Season, is so much the more Like unto them, and shall
receive the larger Giftes & Benefits from them; the Reason is apparent, for the body doth not
resist a most powerfull soul, and perfect mind doth not Change its Councell.38 [B]

Further Observations Worthy of Note.


The All-sufficient God, having Created all things, ruling & disposing them, and settled his
heavenly Decrees, according to his Divine [holy & gratious will; then doth he distribute the
putting thereof in]39 Execution, to the care of divers & severall ministers, the which Saint John in
the Revelations, Calls assisting and destroying Angels.

And whatsoever God doth by Angels (as by Ministers) the same he doth by the Stars (as it were
by Instruments) who accordingly transmit them to this sensible world, that after this manner all
things might worke together to serve him. So that it is fit we should apply the time, place and
species of the Angles or stars to their Respective parts, According as they are Referred to them,
both in Respect of their Offices and Signification &c.40

[9r]Note, every thing may aptly be reduced, from these inferiours to the Stars, from the stars to
their Intelligences, from thence to the first Cause itself, from the Series and Order whereof, all
hidden philosophy flowes;41 for Every day, some naturall things is drawn by art, & some divine
thing is drawn by nature, in the attracting like by like, and of suitable things by suitable, and by
such kind of Attractions, there is a mutuall Correspondency of things amongst them Selves, of
Superiours with inferiours; for Every Inferiour thing in its Kind, should Answer is Superiour, and
through this the supream it Selfe, Whereby it receives from heaven that Cœlestiall power, which
is Called the Quintessence, and from the Intellectuall World a spirituall & Enlivening Vertue,
transending all Qualityes whatsoever; & Lastly from the Exemplary or Originall world, through
the mediation of the Other, According to their Degree, receive the Originall power of the whole
perfection. Know therefore, that Every Superiour moves its next inferior, in its Degree and
Order, not onely in Bodyes, but in Spirits.42

The Universall Soul moves the particular Soul, and the Rationall Acts upon the Sensual, and the
Sensual upon the Vegetable: for Every part of this Inferiour World, suffers from the heavens
according to their nature, & Aptitude, Even as one part of the Animall body suffers from another,
and the Superiour World moves all things below if Selfe, and (after a manner) contains all the
same Beings from the first to the last, which are in the Inferiour world.

JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 17
Celestiall Bodyes move the Bodyes of the Elementary World, Compound, Generall and Sensible,
from the Circumference to the Centre, by superiour, perpetuall and spirituall Essences,
depending on the primary Intellect, which is the acting intellect (or Divine power) and the
Second from God (the first author) from whome [9v] all things are produced, & upon whome all
things depend, and through whose Command, Every Orb acts in its office, accordingly, from the
will of the Creature, according to the will of the Creator; in & by which we attaine, not onely to
the Knowledge of things naturally, But Come to the perfection of more Rare & Sublime things
Cœlestially &c: as may be instanced in many presidents,43 both Ancient & modern—But note the
word is the image of God, the Acting intellect is the image of the word, the Soul is the image of
this intellect, & our word the image of the Soul, by which It acts upon naturall things naturally;
nature being the work thereof, And Every one of these perfects his subsequent, & none of the
Latter Exists without the former; for the depend amongst themselves, by a kind of Ordinate
Dependency, So that when the Latter is Corrupted, it is returned into the which was next before
it, untill it Come to the Heavens, then to the Universall Soul, & Lastly unto the acting intellect
by which all Creatures Exist; & then by Degrees in the principall Author, the first & Last, by
whose heavenly will all things at Length are returned.44

This is the Band and Continuity of nature, that all Superiour Vertue doth flow from Every
inferior, with a long and continued series, or succession, dispersing its Rayes, Even to the very
Last things And inferiours through their Superiours, Come to the Supream of all.

Note the first image of God is the world; of the world, Man; of Man, Beasts; of Beasts, plants; of
plants, Mettals; of mettals, Stones.45

Observe in things natural, stones & mettals have a Correspondency with Hearbs, Hearbs with
Animals, Animals with the Heavens, the Heavens with the Intelligences, the Intelligences with
Divine proportyes & attributions, Consequently with God himself; according to whose Image &
similitude, man and all things inclusively were Created.

So in things Spiritual, the plant agrees with a bruit in Vegetation;46 a bruit, with a man in
[10r]
Sense: Man with an Angell in understanding, an Angell with God in immortallity. Divinity is
annexed to the mind, the mind to the Intellect, the intellect to the intention, the intention to the
imagination, the imagination, to the Senses, & the Senses at last to things, &c.

Hence we may Conclude, thus: inferiours are so successively joined to their Superiours, that
there proceeds An Influence from their Head (the first Cause) like as a Certaine String, stretched
out to the Lowermost things of all, of the which string, if one End be touched, the whole doth
presently shake & soundeth to the Other End; Even so, at the motion of the Superiour is also

moved so which the other doth answer, like as strings of a well tuned instrument: 47 so that
whatsoever is moved, caused or produced in there inferiours, [must of necessity imitate the
motions & influences of the Superiours;]48 to which as to its Roots, Causes & Signes, it is
Reduced.49 [D]50

It is Very Difficult, if not impossible, to Convince or perswade a Knowing & Intelligent man, by
Reason, into a Creduallyty of Such things, that Reacheth a Little beyond his preent Capacity, but
by Receiveing that impression & force, by Sence for the Animal spirits of man, by the influence
of the Cœlestialls, & the Co-operations of the mind & will, affected beyond his former and
naturall disposition.51

But more learned and Discreet Phylosophers, doth not admire52 this rare & Divine Doctrine, &
the great guifts & Benefits proceeding therefrom; & received thereby frome whence many
wonderfull & admirable Experiments, Operations & Effects are produced and brought to passe,
by Vertue of the Cœlestiall Authority, managed according to the Order & wisdom of a sober &
Expert Sophiack because he is not a Stranger to the Heavens &c.53

[10v]Having now Breifly treated of the Cœlestiall & Terrestiall Harmonyes, and the Mutuall
Correspondency of those inferiours with their Superiours, whereby we become Capable of
Receiving Certaine Cœlestiall guifts from above, &c.—wee shall now Lay down some beneficiall
Aphorismes, worth of Remark.

Beneficiall Aphorismes.54
1st. Wee ought to Labor, nothing more in this Life, then that we degenerate not from the
Excellency of the mind, by which we Come nearest to God; and put on the Divine Nature; neast
at any time our Mind waxing dull, through a stupid Vanity, should decline & yeild to the frailty
of our Earthy Body, becoming fleshly Vitious. Wherefore we ought to order our minds, that it
by it Selfe, being mindfull of its own Dignity & Excellency, should always both think, doe &

S5 text with the section beginning “There is nothing of such transcending vertue” (S5 fol. 14r).

JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 19
operate Something worthy of it selfe: But the Knowledge of the Cœlestiall & Divine Science,
doth onely & very powerfully performe this for us, when we by the Remembrance of its Majesty,
being always busied in Divine Studyes, do every morning Contemplate Divine things, by a sage
& diligent inquisition, And by all the degrees of the creatures ascending Even to the Archetype
himself, doe draw from him the infallible vertue of all things, which those that neglect, trusting
onely to worldly & naturall things, are wont often times to be confounded by divers Errors &
misconstructions, and are very apt to conceive a miss & mistake the proper object of Intent,
whereby they are wont oft times to be deceived by fallacyes &c. But the Understanding of
Cœlestiall things, purgeth the mind from Errours, & rendereth it Divine, giving infallible [11r]
power to our works, and drives Clearly away the deceits and delusions of all evill spirits, and yet
subjects them to our commands too.55

2. Live to thy self, and the muses; avoyd the freindship of the multytude, be Covetious of time,
Beneficiall to all men, use the Angels & spirits given & attributed utno thee, as ministers, without
Rashness & presumption, as the messengers of God, be Vigilant in thy Calling.56

3. Be obedient to Good Adminitions, avoid all procrastination, accustome thy selfe to Constancy
and Gravity, both in thy words & deeds, fly from Earthly things, seeke after Heavenly things, put
no Confidence in thy own wisdom, but Look unto God in ⟬all⟭ things.57

4. Whatsoever thou Learnest, fix it in thy mind, Learn much but not many things, because a
Humane Understanding, can not be alike Capable in all things, unlesse it be divinely
Regenerated, & unto him, nothing is so difficulty, which he may not be able to attaine to.58

5. All things are possible to them that beleeve them, and are willing to Receive them, but to
those who are incredulous, & unwilling, all things are alike impossible; there is no greater
hindrance then a wavering mind, levity, unconstancy, vaine objections, and disobedience to the
Divine Lawes: Therefore a Magician ought to be A man that is Godly, honest, Constant in his
words & deeds, prudent in all his actions, coveteous of nothing but wisdome, to guide & govern
himself in all his proceedings; and if he firmly intend to have familiar Convers with Angels &
spirits, he must keepe himselfe from all Enormityes, & pray to God for constancy in faith, & he
shall bring to passe all things in Due Season.59

[11v] 6.
We properly Call that a Secret in Magick, which no man Can Attaine unto by humane
industry, without Revelation: the Knowledge whereof Lyteth, Obscured, hidden by God in the
Creation, yet notwithstanding, he doth permit to be revealed by spirits & Angels, to a due use of
the thing it selfe, And these Secrets are Either Concerning things divine, Naturall or humane; &
if we do butt Rightly Examine a few, we shall Command the whole with the most Select.60

7. If the humane understanding by divinely or Angellically Inspired, by Conjunction or
Revelation, it is the onely Effector of all wonderfull operations, and produceth what thing soever
it Indulgently Conceiveth: Let a Magician therefore, Carefully shroud himselfe, under the wings
of Divine Assistance, Least he fall into the snares of temptations.61

8. Be carefull that you mix no Experiments that are of contrary Qualityes or offices, but Let
Every one be simple & severall; for God & Nature hath appointed all things, to a certain &
particular End & purpose, As in Constellations and Characters &c. doe lie hid great influences,
vertues, & Misteryes, so also in words, which being accordingly pronounced, doe forthwith
Cause all Creatures, both Divine Supercœlestiall, Olympick, Terresstiall, Subterrestial, Ayery,
watery, & infernall, Visible and invisible, to yeild due obedience, with all Readines & sbumssion
unto us &c.62

[12r]9. There is nothing so much becometh a Magician, as Soundness in faith, Constancy in


action, & mind immoveable in hope, patience in perseverance, and when the like Repayeth in its
like, there is (I say) none more happy then such because the holy Angels are Conversant about
them, possesse the Custody of them,63 they will familiary Converse with them, and willingly give

the which intellect doth indeed, always shew a pathway to the will, as a Candel to the Eye, But it
moves not it Selfe, but is the Mistriss of her own operation; from Whence it is Called free will:
And though it always tends to Good, as an Object Suitable to it Selfe, yet sometimes being
blinded with Errour, the Animall power forceing it, it choseth76 Evill, believing it to be Good.
Therefore Will is defined to be a faculty of the intellect, whereby Good is chosen by the help of

inferiours (as hearbs, stones, Mettals, &c.) have their power subservient to the Heavens, the
Heavens from the Intelligences, and the Intelligences from God, in whome all things pre-exist in

Communion with the body and these inferior things: So that there is no work in this whole
world so Admirable, Excellent & wonderfull, which the Soul of Man being Associated to the

It is yet further to be Observed That


There is nothing of such transcending Vertues, which being distitute of divine Assistance, is
Content with the Nature of it selfe, therefore all things are full of God,80 for that all inferiour
bodyes are Exemplifyed by the superiour Ideas.81

An Idea is a form, above bodies, Souls or Minds, & it is but one simple, pure, Immutable,
Indivisible, Incorporeall and Eternall: Now the nature of all Ideas is the same.

Ideas are placed first in God himself82 by way of Cause, & they are distinguished amongst
themselves, by some Relavive Considerations onely, least whatsoever is in the world, should be
but one thing without any variety, & that they agree in Essence, Least God should be a
Compound Substance.

[In the second place, Ideas are placed in the]83 [14v] very intelligible it selfe (that is) in the Soul of
the world, differing the one from the other by absolute forms: But not that all the Ideas in God
are but one form, but in the soul of the world they are many.

They are Likewise placed in the minds of all other things, whether they be joyned to the body,
or Seperated from the body; by a Certaine participation, & by Degrees and Distinguished more
& more.

They are also placed in nature, as Certain small seeds of formes, infused by the Ideas.

And lastly, they are placed in matter, as Shadowes.

Now we may say, that there are many Seminall formes of things in the soul of the world, as Ideas
in the mind of God, by which forms, shee did in the Heavens above the Stars, frame to herself
Shapes also, and stamped upon all these some properties.

[On these Stars, therefore]84 shapes and propertyes, doe the Vertues & propertyes of all inferiour
species depend, so that Every species hath its Cœlestiall shape, or figure that is suitable to it, from
which also proceeds a wonderfull power of operating, which proper gift it Receives from its own
Idea, through the Seminall forms of the Soul of the world.

Ideas are not only essentiall causes of every species, but are also the causes of every vertue, which
is in the species: for the propertyes, which is in the nature of things, are moved by Certaine
Vertues (which are the operations of the Ideas (vizt) such as have a certain & sure [15r] foundation,
not fortuitous, or Casuall, but Efficatious, powerfull & Sufficient, doing nothing in Vain.

These Vertues do not err in their actings, but by accident (vizt) by reason of the impurity or
inequality of the Matter; so that upon this account, there are found things of the same species,

more or Lesse powerfull, according to the purity or indispositions of the matter (for all Cœlestiall
Influences may be hindered by the indisposition & insufficiency of the matter) whence the
proverb, that Cœlestiall Vertues were infused according to the Desert of the matter.

Therefore those things in whch there is Lesse of the Idea of the matter (viz) such things which
have a greater Resemblance of things separated, have more powerfull Vertues in operation, being
like to the operation of a separated Idea.

By all whwich we may plainely see, that the scituation of Cœlestials, is the Cause of all those
excellect Vertues, that are ⟬in⟭ inferior species.85

As God is the Beginning & Ending of all Vertues, and the marvellous Disposer of all things, so
me must know that he gives the soul of the Ideas to his servants, the Blessed Intelligences, who as
faithfull oficers signe all things Entrusted to them, with an Ideal Vertue; the Heavens & stars as
Instruments, disposing the matter in the meanwhile for Receiving those forms which Reside in
Divine Majesty, & to be conveyed by stars, And the Giver of forms distributes them by the
ministery of his Intelligences, which he has Set as Rulers & Controllers over his workes, to
whome such power is Entrusted In things Committed to them, that so the Vertues & operations
of [15v] all things, as hearbs Mettals Stones &c. may come from the governing Intelligences
immediately, from the first Idea, & next from the Configurations of the Heavens, disposing, &
Lastly from the tempers of the Elements disposed, Answering to the Cœlestiall Influences, by
which the Elements themselves are disposed & ordered.

Now these kindes of operations are performed in these inferior things, by Expresse forms, in the
Heavens by disposing Vertues, in the Intelligences by mediating Rules, and in the Originall
Cause by Ideas & Exemplary formes.

All which must of necessity agree, in the Execution of the Effect & Vertue of Every thing.

And although there be a wonderfull Vertue, operation and Effect in Vegetables, Stones Mettals
&c.: yet it is greater in the Stars, beyond which, from the governing intelligences, Everything
receiveth & obtains for it selfe many things, Especially from the Supream Cause, with whome all
things doe Exactly & mutually Correspond.

Note therefore, that there is no other Cause of this Necessity of Effects, then the Connection of
all thigns with the first Cause, and there Correspondency with those Divine patternes, & Eternall
Ideas, whence Every thing hath its determinate and particular place in the Exemplary world,
from whence it lives & receives its particular being originally, & Every vertue of Herbs, stones,
Metals, Animals, words, & speeches, and all things that are of God are placed there.

Now the First Cause, which is God, although he doth by Intelligences and the Heavens,
[16r]
work upon these inferior things, yet sometimes he works those things Immediately by himselfe,
which are Miraculous.

And whereas Secondary Causes (called handmaids) doe by the command & appointment of the

Of Angels & Spirits


A Brief Definition, of the names, natures, orders, offices, degrees, Hierarchyes, Mantions & other
Distinctions of the Sacred Cœlestiall Angells, or Blessed intelligences, & other Angellicall powers
Cœlestially dignified, both of the Ayr & other elements; together with a Summary of the Elemental
powers or spirits, both of Light & Darkness, Residing in the four Elements, fire, Ayr, Earth & water;
And the four Angles of points of the Compass, East, West, North & South; And other wandering spirits
both Elementall & infernall, & other observations worth of note.

An Angel is an Intelligible Substance, free from all grosse & putrified matter, of a body immortall,
Assisting, having Influence over all,87 & in the beginning of there Creation, were Composed of
the more [16v] Pure & Superiour part of the Ayre, whereby they Cannot be Disolved by Death,
in regard that Element, which is more Active then passive, is predominate in them, being for fitt
to act then to suffer.88

Now the Bodyes of the Cœlestiall & Sublime Angels89 are nourished of the most pure, Etheriall,
Element, & are not Rashly to be seen of any (unless they be sent from God) being woven &
joyned together (as it were) of such bright & splended threads, & so small, that they transmit all
the Rayes of our sight by their fineness, & Reverberate by their splendor, & deceive by their
subtilty; the which angels, because their Bodyes have not so much fire as that they are
Conspicuous, nor so much Earth that the Solidity of them Resists the touch, their whole
Composure being Made up of the90 Clearness & moysture of the Ayre, hath joyned together an
Indissolveable Superficies.91

86
From “As God is the beginning” to here adapted from OOP book I, chap. 13, “Whence the Occult Vertues of things
proceed” (pp. 30-32).
87
Slightly paraphrased from OOP book III, chap. 16, “Of Intelligences and Spirits &c. &c. &c.” (p. 390). The
definition is there applied to an “Intelligence.” The matter is obfuscated in the English OOP by inconsistent trans-
lation of technical terms: “J.F.” in that instance rendered daemon –is as “Angels” leading to Agrippa’s explanation that
he was not using “daimon” as synonymous with “devil” (diabolus –i) being turned into the bizarre “But I call Angels
here, not those whom we usually call Devils.”
88
Adapted from OOP book III, chap. 19, “Of the bodies of the Devils [sic., the Latin has daemonum]” (p. 402).
89
While the corresponding text in the English OOP has “the bodies of sublime Demons” (italics as printed), the Latin
does mention angels (“corpra autem sublimiorum daemonum angelorum, ex purissimo aethereo element coalita sunt”).
90
An insertion mark appears in the text here, with “ambient Aire & the diaphanity & humidity thereof” written sec.
man. after the end of the paragraph. Interpolating this into the body of the text would break up the sentence, and it is
not in the corresponding passage of OOP, which runs, “their whole composure being made up of the clearness of the
skie, and moisture of the aire […]”; it appears rather to be a gloss or paraphrase.
91
This paragraph is taken, with minor alterations and omissions, from OOP book III, chap. 19 (p. 403).

After which composure & Confirmation, those Bodyes were preserved in the Good Angels, But
it was Changed in the Evill, by Reason of their fall, into the Qualitys of more thick Ayr; that so
they might be Rendered capable of torment.

And although the Nature of spirits, is not without a Body; yet the bodyes of Good Angels & Evill
spirits, is not the same &c.

Angels are not to be understood, as though they were subject to the Influences of the stars, but as
they have a Correspondence with Heaven, from whence all things are Directed, & to which all
things ought to be Conformable. And as the Governing Angels are appointed for & set over
divers Starrs, [17r] so likewise divers places & times; not that they are Limited by time or place,
nor by those bodyes, over whwich they are appointed to govern, But the divine wisdome hath so
ordered & decreed, that they should patronize, & more favor those bodyes, stars, times & places,
over which they Regulate, & to Execute & fullfill the will & Commandement of God, According
to their severall & Respective Offices, as divine dispensation shall appoint, &c.

Thre is no part of the world, distitute of the proper assistance, care,keeping or attendance of the
Cœlestiall Angels, & they send down their Influences through the Cœlestiall sphears, & planets,
to the place or persons sublunary, & doe Especially operate, according to their severall &
Respective Regulations.92

Angels are of an Intellectual & incorporeall substance, Alwayes moveable, & free; the divine
Messengers of the will of God, serveing him by Grace & not by kind, & are partakers of
immortality.

Angels were created of God, Immortall, Innocent, Beautifull, Good, free & subtile, of the Essence
of God himselfe.

Angels have their habitation in heaven, their Eyes fixed upon the majesty of God, their tongues
formed to his praises, & themselves only in him.

Angels are Carefull of Mens actions, & protectors of their persons; & Every ones Angel that hath
guided him in this Life, shall at the latter day bring forth him he hath Governed.

[17v] Angels are Tutors of the Saints, Heralds of Heaven, & Guardians of Bodyes & Souls.

Angels exceed not in desire, Desire not, because they want not beholding their Creator.

The Angells have Charge to Conduct men, wisdome to instruct men, & Grace to preserve men.

Angels were the first Creatures that Ever God made, & do always behold the face of God,
wheresoever they are Sent.

The Divine Nature of Angels suffereth neither Change nor End, for they are immutable &
Divine, & are swift Messengers to Execute the Commands of the Highest at his divine pleasure &
appointment.93

These two paragraphs are adapted, with some additions, from OOP book III, chap. 16 (p. 392).

From “Angels are of an Intellectual & incorporeall substance” to here is adapted from the section “Angels” in

JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 27
Their are nine orders, or Hierarchies, of the Cœlestiall Angels or Blessed Intelligences, Residing
in the nine Mantions planetary Orbs, or sphears of the Heavens thus nominated; first the Order
of Angels in the Sphear of the moon, who performed the Lesser Messages, Secondly Arch Angels,
in the sphear of the planet Mercury, who Execute the greater messages, thirdly, Principalities in
the sphear of the planet Venus, who Rule over others, fourthly Vertues, in the sphear of the Sun,
by whom signes & Miracles are wrought, fiftly potestates, in the sphear of the planet Mars, who
do Restrain the Devill. Sixtly, Dominations, in the sphear of the planet Jupiter, who do Excell
others. Seventhly thrones, in the sphear of the planet Saturn: [18r] whereon God sitteth; eightly
Cherubim, in the Orb or Sphear of Heaven, called the Starry fermement; who being full of
Knowledge, do teach. Ninthly, Seraphim in the Orb or Spheare Called the primum Mobile, or
first Moveable Heaven: &c.94

As there are nine Orders, or Hierarcheyes of Sacred Cœlestially Angels or Blessed Intelligences,
soe there are nine orders of Wicked or infernall spirits, called Devills or spirits of Darkness; who
are said to inhabit or have Residence in the infernall word, thus nominated: first Tempters &
Ensnarers: secondly, Sifters, Tryers or Accusers Inquisitors: thirdly furyes, the Seminaries of Evill:
fourthly Ayeriall powers: fiftly Juglers or Deluders: sixtly, Revengers of wickedness. Seaventhly
Vessels of Iniquity: Eightly – Lying Spirits – Ninthly faulse gods.95

As touching the Appearances of those Glorious Seraphick Creatures, the Cœlestiall & Good
Angels, & other Cœlestially Dignifyed powers of Light, severall are the opinions of some Authors,
& Especially of Johannes Trithemeus, the Learned Abbot of Spanheim in Lib. polygraph96 who
saith that never any Good Angel was read of, to have appeared in the forme of a woman; 97 which

“N.L.,” first printed in 1597 and with multiple editions over the course of the seventeenth century. The last entry
originally read “[…] swift messengers to execute the wrath of God against his enemies.” The altered phrasing is
possibly an allusion to the expression “execute the judgements of the highest” in Dee’s Claves Angelicæ. Politeuphuia
goes on to list the nine orders of angels of pseudo-Dionysius by name, but without the additional details given here.
94
I’ve not so far managed to trace this account of the nine orders of angels. Their attributions to the planets, “Starry
firmament” and “Primum Mobile” appear in OOP book III, chap. 10 (of which more later), and are tabulated in the
scale of the number 10 in the second book. The description of their offices is not from Agrippa as far as I can tell: nor
does it appear to match that originally given in the Celestial Hierarchy, although I’ve only skimmed the latter.
95
These orders of evil spirits appear in the table of the scale of 9 in OOP (Book II cap. 12, pp. 209), again in the scale of
the number 10 with “wicked souls” filling out the scheme, and yet again in the scale of the number 12 with “Witches,”
“Apostates” and “Infidels” filling out the scheme, although not all these variant names or glosses appear there.

anyway) on the subject of cryptography.
97
Given the subject matter of the the Polygraphia, it is unlikely that such a statement occurs there, though I’ve not
plowed through the 600+ pages of the work to check: where it does occur, is in the same author’s Liber octo quæstionum,
quas illi dissolvendas proposuit Maximilianus Cæsar (responses to a series of questions on theological and other matters
which had been posed to him by the Emperor, first printed in 1515). In the course of answering question 6, on the
power of witches (De potestate maleficarum), the abbot of Spanheim referred to classical and German legends of water-
spirits in female form (Naiads, Nereids, Wasserfrauen), then continued, “Sancti autem Angeli quoniam affectione
nunquam variantur uniformiter semper apparent in forma virili. Nusquam enim legimus scriptus, quod bonus spiritus
in forma fit visus muliebri aut bestiæ cuiuscunque, sed semper in specie virili.”
Considering the text following, the immediate source for the author of the Janua was the Dee-Kelly Spirit Actions
(Action of 1583.06.14, T&FR pp. 10 sqq.). Kelly described a figure in his vision as “a woman like an old maid in a red
Peticote, and with a red silk upper bodies, her hair rould about like a Scottish woman, the same being yellow.” On
getting her name, Galvah (which she glossed as Finis), Dee observed that she was not one of the Filiæ Lucis (Daughters

assertion is Learnedly Answered by a Divine, And an Angelicall, thus Rationally Constructed,
Distinguished, & defined as followeth:

It is evident that the Angels of God, are incomprehensible to those that are their inferiours, for
the higher order is incomparable unto God & by Degrees, those that are their inferiours, are also
incomparable unto them, It followeth therefore, that in Respect of that Degree in Angels, things
are incomprehensible.

[18v] Angels of themselves neither are man nor woman, therefore they doe take forms (not
according to any proportion in imagination but) according to the discreet & applicable will both
of him, & of the thing wherein they are Administrators; for they are all spirits Ministring the will
of God, & unto whome98 unto Every thing within the Compass of nature & the use of man If
followeth therefore, Concidering that thay minister not of their selves, that they should minister
in that Unsearchable form, within the which their Executions are Limited.

Now if Trithemius or any other Can say, that, ⟨that⟩ woman also hath not the spirit of God,
being formed & fashioned of the self same matter (notwithstanding in a Contrary proportion by
a degree). If Trithemius or any other, can separate the Dignity of the Soul of woman, from the
Excellency of man, but according to the forme of the matter, then might his argument be good.

But because that in Man & woman there is proportion, & preparation of sanctification in Eternity
alike, therewore may those that are the eternall Ministers of God in proportion to sanctification,
take unto them the bodys of them both (I mean in Respect of the form) for as in both you read
Homo,99 so in both you fine one & the selfe same Dignity, in internal matter all one.

Now Trithemius spake in Respect of the filthiness (which indeed is no filthiness) wherewith all
women are stained, & by reasons from the natural Philosophers, as a man tasking more of nature
indeed than of him wihich is the workman or a supernaturall Master, He (I say) Concluded his
naturall invention.

naturall Conclusions thus Answered; they are all beams of that wisdome, which is the End of

Containe the mansions & Residing places of his holy ministering Angels, & Cœlestiall
Intelligences, werehin are many Orbicular Sphears from his mighty Seat, to the fiery Region: in
which he hath (according to the Omnipotent decree of the sacred deity, in the unity of the
Blessed trinity, Originally determined before the foundation of the world) Located severall
Hierarchyes of Glorious Angels, both of Superiour & inferior Orders, & placed in the heavenly
Orbs more Superiour, & the planetary Orbs, & the four Angles101 of the Heavnes East west north
& south, Certain Intelligences or Cœlestiall Angels, of Severall natures & oiffices, over what is
Good, & also Certain spirits to what is Evill, called princes of the Ayr, or spirits of Darkness, of
Severall offices also Underall which are numberless of subservient Angels & spirits, who Execute
the immediate decrees & heavenly [19v] will of the most high God, both as to mercy & justice, on
whomsoever & whatsoever he is, or shall be pleased to command them. the mighty God hath
also Constituted & appointed a particular & Regal Angel to Govern Hylick,102 which is the matter
of the four Elements, or of which the Elements was in his Great Wisdome & marvelous
workmanship, onely Composed & made: Under whome are also, many subjects, And who hath
likewise ordained Angelicall princes or Governours of the four Elements & ministers under them,
And also hath divided the Cœlestiall Girdle of the Zodiack into Eight & twenty Angles103 or parts,
which are known to & Called by the sons of men, the So many Mansions of the moon, And
Constituted so many presidentiall Angels therein &c.: And who hath againe divided the Heavens
into Eight & forty Angles104 or parts, Eighteen whereof are Superiours & Cœlestiall, & the other
thirty more inferior & Airerial, whose Mantions are not alive, nor partes Equal, for that he hath
Miraculously placed Eighteen Divisons above the fiery Region in the Heavens, to be the
Mansions & Reisdences of these glorious Angels, who (by Divine institution) are primitively
Ordained to be Princes & Ministers of Government, over all such Superiour Earthly Matters, as in
their severall & Respective Offices they are Constituted & Appointed; the other thirty Inferiour
Ayeriall Angells,105 Orbs or Divisions, he hath Originally decreed, & amongst other wonderfull

Variation of Every moment, unto whom the providence of the Eternal judgment of God is
already opened, & who hath also most seemly & uniformly distributed the Earth, into four Angels
or Quarters, East, West, North & South, & also placed (as it were) a watchtower, & Constituted a
mighty & Royall Angell therein, as King, Keeper, Governer & principall watchman in Each
particular watchtower, set over the four & respective Angels of the world, to protect & defent all
mankind from the Usurping blasphemy, stealth, Misuse, Malice & temptations, of the wicked &
great [20v] enemy of Gods Glory, & the welfare of his servants the sons of men, Children of the
Creation Living on Earth; the Devill & spirits of Darkness, to the End that (they being put out
into the Earth) their Envious will might be bridled, the determinations of God fillfilled, & his
Creatures Kept & preserved within the Compass & measure of Order; And who againe hath
ordained and constituted under Each Angelicall Monarch, Governing Each Severall watch towers

Government thereof, & to fullfill his determinate Commands, as it is written & Remembered by
Saint John in his Apocalipse, and hath Likewise placed under Every the Respective mighty prince,
& six spirituall seniors, of Each terrestiall Angle & watchtower, Sixteen Goodly Angels of Light,
to be Dispositors of the Commands of their Superiours, under whome also are many Subservient
Angels, of severall natures & ofices, whose names are contained & to be found, amongst many
other admirable Collections &c. in four tables, notes or Mysticall figures,107 which are severally &
Respectively Referred, to the four Angles or Quarters of this Terrestiall world, as they together

Obedience to the will of his servants the sons of man when they see them; by all which we may

are the Glory of his Countenance, whereby he Glorifyeth all things, which Exceeds the Capacity

[21v] Observations Upon the Foregoing Discourse


As111 Evill Spirits are of that nature, that they hate all good thoughts, Motions and Actions in
Man, therefore divine providence hath set over us, more pure spirits, with whome he hath
Entrusted us, as with Gardians, Sheperds & Governers, that they should daily help us, & drive
away Evill spirits from us, & to Curb & Restrain them, that they should not hurt us, nor have so
much power over us: &c: as otherwise they would: &c. for unto men, according to their deserts,
& the first Excellency of ther Soul, God hath appointed a good governer or Angel, from amongst
the orders of those that are blssed; for Every Soul at is good, is not of one & the selfe same
Dignification therefore according to his Excellency, the Cœlestiall Angels are appointed as
ministers from that order, whereunto his Excellence accordeth: to the intent that he may be
brought at Last, to Supply those places which were Gloryfyed by a forme, And also, that the
prince of Darkness, might be Counterpoysed in Gods Justice; for the Reward of Iniquity & sin is
to be Banished from the Society, protection & preservation of our Benevolent & Cœlestiall
Guardian Angel &c: So it falleth out to Regions, Countryes, Cyties, Kings, Subjects & there
offices, when they are Estranged, or Banished the Cœlestiall [22r] presence by the absence of their
appointed & Good Keepers, &c: then doth the Evill Angel bestir himselfe, & is permitted to take
place, but woe be to such, or to that thing, where he taketh up a dwelling place; for whome he is
Lord of, he useth as his servants, & where his servise may be greatest done there is is most alleged
&c: to Measure his Industry is impossible, & to Look into his Subtilty is more Incredible, being
principall & great, &c.: And so e contrario, &c.: for it is to be Observed, as a notable & approved
Maxime, that no man is Elected by proper name, butt according to the measure of his faith &c:
which faith is lively, & hath a Quickening spirit in it for Ever.

There is no prince nor potentate Could be safe, nor any Woman continue Uncorrupted, no man
in this terrestiall Valle of Care, trouble and Ignorance, could come to the End appointed him, by
the Almighty Creator, if good spirits did not secure us; or if Evill spirits should be permitted to

111
“All” written in MS. after “As” and heavily cancelled.
32 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
satisefye the wills of man, nothing could be safe if the Envious will of the Evil spirits, were not
Restrained.

As therefore amongst the good spirits there is a proper keeper or protector deputed to every one,
corroborating the mind of man to good, &c, so from amongst the orders of Evill spirits, there is
by Divine permission, sent forth an Enemy Ruling over the flesh & the desires thereof; & the
Good spirits fight for us as a preserver against the Enemy of the flesh.112

⟦Now man betwixt these contenders is the middle, and left in the hand of his own Counsel, to
whom he will give victory. ⟧113

No one therefore can accuse the Cœlestiall Angells, if they do not bring those [22v] nations &
people as are Entrusted to them, to the Knowledge, worship & Obedience of the true God, &
their Superiours & true piety &c: butt Suffer them to fall into Errours, & perverse Opinions &c:
but it is to be imputed to themselves, who have of their owne accordd declined from the right
path, adhereing to the spirits of Errours, & giving Victory to the Divill; for it is in the hand of
man to adhere to which he pleaseth, & overcome whome he will, whereby if once the Enemy the
Devill be by man overcome, is made his Servant, & cann never afterwards Contend any more
with others, for being once Vanquished he is Even like a wasp, that hath Lost her Sting, for it is a
generall & approved Maxime, asserted to & agreed upon amongst all phylosophers (Viz) that the
faithfull Combating with the Evill spirits & Conquering them, doth Lessen there Army; neither
Can such as are so withstood & overcome by any of the faithfull, Molest tempt or Contend any
more.

And as there is given to every man a good spirit, so also there is given to him an Evill spirit; &
Each of them seeketh an union with his spirit, & Endeavours to attract it to it self, and to be
mixed with it.

The good indeed, through all good works, conformable to itself, changeth us into Angelicall
forms, by holy contemplations, & unites us to Superiour Causes, even to the holy Deity; whereby
we become more suchlike, for it is said he who adheres to God, is made one spirit with him.

An evil spirit also be evil works, studies to make us conformable to itself, & to bring us to many
Errours & Heresies &c yea Even to Distruction as our [23r] Saviour Christ saith of Judas, have I
not Chosen twelve, & one of you is a Devill: Hence it is concluded, that a spirit haveing
influence upon the Soul of man, he Scatters the seed of his one notion, & such a soul being sown
with such seeds, brings forth therefrom, such things are are according to the severall &
Respective offices of such spirits, Either to good or bad Effects.

Now when a good Spirit hath Influence upon a holy soul, it doth Exalt it to the Light of
Wisdome, & all things that Conduceth to an intellectual Benignity: But an Evill spirit being

transfused into a wicked Soul, doth animate & stir it up to all malignity, &c. As theft, Man-
slaughter, lust, Coveteousness, Envy, &c.: according to whatsoever the Offices of Evill spirits &c.

Good spirits perfectly purgeth the Soul; & also bestowe many other good things upon us: for
they give Health to the body, & vertue & security to the Soul; & what is mortall in us they take
away, they Cherish, Heat, & make It more Efficatious to Life, & by a mutuall Harmony, doth
always infuse Light into an intelligible mind.

Now we being Governed by the Ministery of Good Angels, having the care of us, do exalt us &
gradually bring us to Vertue & dignifiy (according as our behaviour & deserts shall make us
worthy of them) & subjects others to us by a Certain occult power &c.

But he who shall carry him selfe unworthy of them is deposed, & thrust down by Evill spirits,
Even to the Lowermost degree of misery according to his Evill Merits.114

Let us therefore understand, that God is a spirit Essentiall, & in himselfe Essentiall, &
[23v]
working by him selfe; Essentiall in all works, & dignifying them by himselfe, so that the begining
& Ending of all things that are already (or are in him already) & to Come, is placed in the
fountaine & well spring of all Life, Comfort & increase, whereby, we see, that the Heavens & the
mighty powers therein, from the Highest to the Lowest, things that shall have an End, & the
Earth with all that she bringeth fourth &c.: yea the Lower parts (though after another manner, &
by another Course) doe all hange & are Established In & apon the Unspeakable power of his
providence; How therefore can the Heavens Run away, or the Earth (for the Elect Sake) want a
Comforter, or the Lower places Look for Comfort. Now therefore if it be so, that the Heavens
Cannot Err, of the powers, of God115 be so mighty & full of prevalency, if in the howse of Light
there be no Darkness, or from the heavens Can descend no wickedness, (& why, because they are
Dignifyed in the power of God) what is he that should Live & distrust the Lord, 116 who as he is a
spirit in his Essentiall being, without determination, unable to be Measured, whereby we may
find, that the Love of God twards us is more then Love, & more then can be measured, which
was the Cause that with his own finger (Delighting in the sons of Jacob) he sealed this saying,
this show & sign of his Excellent (& more than) Love towards us, I am a jealous God, which is as
uch as to say, Lo, I am your friend: nay Rather your father, & more than that, your God: which
delighteth in you, rejoyceth [24r] in you, & Loveth you with that Affection (jealousy) which, is
more then a Love: which is is much to say, my Love is towards you, as I am to my Selfe:117
therefore hath God made the Earth, to be Gloryfied in the Creatures thereof: & what is he that
Gloryfyeth God on Earth, but man: Can we think therefore, that the Lord of hosts, hath not a
Care of us; or that there is a seat upon Earth, wherein he hath not hidden the might of his free
power: doth the Devill get a soul that he is not privy of, this is the power of God, & the Key of

the whole world, which is the key of mans Conscience, if he Lock not the Door but Depart &
Leave it open, wo, be to that Soul, for the prince of Darkness Entereth & is possessed, to the
Eternall woe of his dwelling place.118

Now as Obedience is the trial of Dignification, so are the Ceremonies Appointed by God the
Witnesses of Justification, for he that Violated the Outward Law was Accursed: but the very End
of justice to Salvation, is the Obedience & submission of the Soul &c.: how can it be that the
Earth & Elements, shall bear witness against man in the Day of judgment, but in the power so
used of them Contrary to God’s Commandements.119

Let us therefore become Holy &c.: for he that overcometh his Enemy, rejoyceth not for
freindship sake, but for Victory, the freindship towards God is Obedience, he that obeyeth God is
a freind unto himselfe, for he needeth not the Law or freindship of man, therefore he that
Dwelleth in the Lord is Comforted.120

[24v] Let us therefore become Righteous, & just in all things, & strive to make our Spirit one with
Gods Spirit, least he againe should look downe upon the Earth, & say, Let us now goe down
amongst the Sons of men, for we see all things grow Contrary to their nature & Creation; Either
keeping their Dignityes & secret Vertues shut up in Obscurity, or Else Roiotously perishing,
through the imbecility & forwardness of Ignorance, therefore I delight not in the world: the
Elements are Defiled, the Sons of men wicked, their bodyes become dunghills, & their Inward
parts (the Secret Chambers of their hearts) the Dens & Dungeons of wickedness: therefore I will
Draw my spirit from amongst them, & they shall become more Drunk, & their Ignorance Such
as never was: no not Since the fall of heavens, for I have tucked up my Garments, & am fled away,
& shee shall mourn on the mountains, as a Widdow without Comfort &c.121

Now therefore let us strive to make our hearts Cleane, & banish all Evill out of our thoughts &
actions that sin may be wiped from Amongst us & heartily Desire to be forgiven: for miserable
are they that meet with Vengeance, or that knoweth where she taketh up harbour, be therefore
holy, faithfull & Obedient, &c: And flee all wickedness, Remembering that the mercyes of God
are manifold towards man, whose Unworthiness deserveth no such Grace, & unspeakable
blessings, butt such is God that he justifieth him selfe, or that hath any thing wherein his [25r]
Bowells Can Reojyce, wherein can he Determine Happiness to himselfe; And if the Life of man
be sin, then is it hatefull, but who is he that hateth it: But Even the Highest which is above, & is
farthest from iniquity: Great, therefore is the unhappiness of man, when naturally he is, & loves
to be hated of God, whose Servicse is justice, & whose delight is peace; Let us consider therefore
the Mercyes of God, through his loving Kindness toward our weakness, & humly Ejaculate, to be
fortified by his power, which maketh those strong, that have no power, of themselves, for of
Dust we are become flesh, & of flesh the servants of sin, that at Length we might be made free
through the mercyes of him which hath Entred into our weaknesses & weighed out his blood for

Rightousness, O happy are those whome God sanctifyeth (being Unholy) & ten times Blessed are
the temples, wherein his holiness dwelleth.

It hath been accounted a true Saying, that generally men are Sanctifyed (viz) the people of the

Heros or Quire of Blessed Souls, the foregoing table further explained.


The most Learned Hebrew Mecubals,125 have Received the ten principall & most Sacred names of
God, as Certaine Divine powers, which by ten numerations (Called Sephiroth) as it were
instruments of Examplars126 of the Architype, have in fluence on all things created (by a certaine
Order) from the High things Even to the Lowest; for first they have immediate Influence on the
nine orders of Angels & Quire of blessed souls, & by them into the Cœlestiall Sphears, planets &
men, by which Sephiroth, Every thing Receiveth power & Vertue &c.
The first name is Eheia, & it is the name of the Divine Essence, his Numeration is Cether (or
Kether) which Signifieth a Crown or Diadim, & the most Simple Essence of the Deity, & it is
called the which the Eye seeth not, and is Attributed to god the father, & hath his influence by
the Order of Seraphims Called by the Hebrews, Haioth Hacadosch,127 or Creatures of Holiness: &

This column is something of a mess: the entries for 1, 2 and 10 are the Hebrew name of the relevant “sphere,”
following Agrippa: in the entries for 3-9 the redactor of the Janua instead put an angelic name or two (from OOP book
III, chap. 28), derived by applying a Hebrew theophoric terminal to the name of the “sphere.” In the table in Agrippa
this and the following were bracketed together as “Decem sphæræ mundi.”

Obsolete term for Kabbalists.

The corresponding text in OOP (p. 367) has “as it were vestiments, Instruments or examplars”

then by the Primum Mobile, bestowing the gift of being to all things, filling the whole Universe
both through the Circumference & centre, whose particular Intelligence is called Methratton,128
which is by interpretation, the prince of faces, whose duty it is to bring others to the face of the
prince, & by him the Lord spake to Moses.
The second name is Iod,129 or Tetragrammaton130 joined with Iod; his numeration is Hochma, that is
wisdom, and signifieth the Divinity full of Ideas, & the first [26v] begotten & is attributed to the
Son; and hath his influence by the order of Cherubims, Called by the Hebrew Orphanim131 that
is forms, or wheels; & from thence into starry Heaven, where he fabricateth so many figures, as
he hath Ideas in him selfe, & distinguish the very Chaos of the Creatures, by a particular
intelligence Called Raziel, who was the Ruler of adam.
The third name is Tetragrammaton Elohim, his numeration is prina (or Binah)132 that is providence
& understanding, & signifies Remission, Quietness, the Jubilee, penetentiall Conversion, a great
trumpet, Redemption of the world, & the Life of the world to Come; it is attributed to the holy
spirits, & hath his influence by the order of thrones, Called by the Hebrews Aralim, that is Great,
Mighty & Strong Angels; & then by the Sphear of Saturn, Adminisreth form to the Liquid or
Unsettled matter, whose particular Intelligences are Zaphkiel, the Ruler of Noah, and Jophiel, the
Ruler of Sem; these are the three highest & Supream numerations (as it were) seats of the Divine
persons, by whose commands all things are made, but are Executed by the other seaven, which
are therefore Called the Numerations framing.
The fourth name is El, whose numeration is Hesed, that is Clemence or Goodness, & signifieth
grace, mercy, piety, Magnificence, the sceptre & Right hand, & hath his influx by the Order of
Dominations, called by the Hebrews Hasmalim, & so through the Sphear of Jupiter, fashioning
[27r] the Images or Efigies of Bodyes, bestowing Clemency & pacifying Justice on all; his
particular Intelligence is Zadkiel, the Ruler of Abraham.
The fifth Name is Elohim-Gibor, that is the mighty God, punishing the sins of the wicked; his
numeration is Geburah: which is by interpretation power, Gravity, fortitude, Severity, judgment,
punishing by Slaughter & war. It is applied to the tribunal of God, the Girdle, the sword & left
hand of God: it is Likwise Called Pachad, that is fear, & hath his influence through the order of
powers,133 & from thence through the sphear of mars, unto whome belongs war fortitude &
affliction, it draweth forth the Elements: his particular Intelligence is Samel,134 the Ruler of
Sampson.

More usually Metatron (Heb., ‫)מטטרון‬. In the 1533 De Occulta Philosophia, this name was spelt “Metattron” in the
table of the decad, and metatron in the chapter (lib. III cap. 10) of the Sephiroth. In the 1651 English edition it was
misprinted Merattron on p. 368, but given as Metattron in the table of the decad on p. 214. I am unsure where the
orthography Methratton comes from, but as it is (mostly) consistently used in the Janua it has been allowed to stand.

“Prina” was a misprint in OOP, p. 368. The table of the scale of the number 10 (ibid., p. 214) gives the correct

JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 39
Now we are to shew forth, how by the seven planets (as it were by Instruments) all powers are
diffused into Man, from the first Cause: & how the Influences of the Cœliestiall Intelligences, are
principally Drawn or Decended from the Superiour powers, or Seven great Angels, who standeth
before the Imperiall throne of the Highest, & what Divine Gifts man Receiveth from above, &
how man is strengthened with Excellent and Abmirable Vertiues, from the Angelicall orders or
Cœlestiall Hierarchies, &c.
From the order of Angels, that he may be a Messenger of the Divine will, and an Interpreter of
the mind of God.
From the order of Arch-Angels, that he may Rule over the beasts of the feild, fish of the Sea &
fowles of the Ayre, over all which Command is given him.
From the order of Principalityes, that all things may be subdued to him, he Comprehending the
powers of all, & drawing all power to himselfe [28v] by a Certain Secret Supercœlestiall force &
Vertue.
From the Order of Vertues, he Receiveth power, by Vertue whereof he Constantly fighting, is
strengthened against the Enemyes of truth, for the Reward of which, we Run a Race in this Life.
From the Order of Potestates, He Receiveth power & strength, against the Enemy of this Earthly
taburnacle.
From the order of Dominations he hath help, whereby he Can Subject any Domestick Enemy he
Carryeth along with him, && Can obtasine his Desired End.
From the order of thrones, Man is Knit together, & being Collected together into himselfe, fixeth
his Memory on those Eternall Visions.
From the order of Cherubim, he hath the Light of the mind, the power of wisdome, Very high
phantasies, & figures, whereby he is able to contemplate the divine things.
From the Order or Seraphim, that by the perfect flame of Love, we may att Length inhere in
them.
We are also to shew forth, what Divine gifts, powers & Vertues man Receiveth from the
Cœlestiall bodyes (that is) the Seaven planets, Called by the Astrolgians the seven Erratick or
Wandring Stars.
From Saturn man Receiveth a sublime Contemplation, profound understanding, Solidity of
Judgment, firm speculation, [29r] Stability and an immoveable Resolution.
From Jupiter, An unshaken prudence, temperance, benignity, piety, Modesty, justice, faith,
Grace, Religion, Equity & Regallity, &c.
From Mars, Constant Courage & fortitude, not to be terrified, truth a fervent desire of Animosity,
the power and practice of Acting, and an Inconvertible Vehemency of the mind.
From the Son Nobleness, or mind perspicuity of Judgment & Immagination, the nature of
Knowledge & opinion, Maturity, Counsell, Zeal, Light of Justice, Reason & judgment to
distinguish Right from wrong purging Light from the Darkness of Ignorance, the Glory of truth
found out, & Charity the mother & Queen of all Vertues.
40 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
From Venus A fervent Love, most sweet hope, the Motion of desire, order, Concupiscence,
Beaty, Sweetness, desire of Increasing & propagation of it selfe.
From Mercury A piercing faith & beleif, Clear Reasoning, the Vigour of Interpreting &
pronouncing, Gravity of Speech, Acuteness of will, discourse of Reason, & the swift motion of
the Sences.
From the Moon, a peacemaking consonancy, fecundity, the power of Generating & growing
greater, of Encreasing & Decreasing: A Moderate Temperance & faith, which being Conversant
in Manifest & occult things, yeildeth Direction to all, also Motion to the tilling of the Earth, for
the manner of Life, & giving growth to it selfe & others.
[29v]Thus the influences of the seven planets, are principally drawn from the Superiour
Angelicall powers, & Cœlestiall intelligent Angels, as Afforesaid; disposing the soul of man,
which is the Seat of these Vertues.
The planets dispose the body onely giving itt a tractable Complection, proportionate & tempered
for Every Good thing they being the instruments of the Intelligences; butt God (as the primary
Cause) doth yeild both influence & Encrease to all. Now therefore, if the soul work well in this
body, it Returneth to that Divine power & mantion, from whence it descended. These are the
Degrees, or Ladder by which men doe Easily asscend, to all Kinds of powers, by a Certaine
naturall connexion, according to the divers dispositions of the body & mind, by the favor of the
stars in Disposing of the body, & the intelligences Ruling them, the nature of which, the Soul in
its Descent putteth on, the Supreame power of the Creator favouring, without whose Divine
grace & benevolence permitting, no good thing can be Effected.143
We are nextly to shew forth, how their benevolent Influences are depraved, in these inferiour
things, & become Causes of Evill. [30r] Seeing Every Power & Vertue is from above, from God,
the Intelligences, and stars, who can neither Err, nor do Evill; it followeth, that all Evill, &
whatsoever is found Dissonant & disagreeing in these inferiour things, proceedeth, not from any
Malignity of the influence, but from the Evill disposition of the Receiver.
Therefore, when the perversity of the Subject, receives the influences of the perverse, or its
debility Cannot Endure the Efficacy of the Superiours, then by the Heavenly influences thus
received, into a Matter full of Discords, Somewhat Dissonant Deformed & Evill proceed.
Now the Cœlestiall powers, alwayes remain Good, which while they Exist in themselves, & from
the Giver of Light; have their influence by the holy intelligences & the Heavens.
Their influence is Good (as it were) in the first degree, untill it commeth to the Moon, & when it
is received in a viler subject, it is also Vilified, then then also in respect of the different nature of
the Recipient, it is Received after divers manners, and by the Qualities disagreeing in the same
subject, amongst themselves; it Likewise varieth & patiently suffereth, in the subject from whence
att Length, some other thing then the Superiours send down, doth result; therefore the hurfull
Qualities in these influences, is far Different from the influx of the Heavens; for as fetters

143
From “& how man is strengthened” to here is paraphrased from OOP book III, chap. 38, “What Divine gifts man
receiveth from above, from the severall Orders of the Intelligences and the heavens.” (pp. 466-8); the section on the
influence of the Planets has been moved to after that on the orders of Angels.
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 41
Imprisonments [30v] and Condignityes, is not to be imputed to the judge, butt to the Evill
disposed Malefactor: So neither is the fault of wicked ones, to be Cast on the Cœlestiall Influences.
It followeth therefore that we being so well Disposed, the Cœlestiall Influences Co-operate all
things, for Good; but we being Evill disposed, & having that Divine Good which was in us,
through our Sins & Wickednesse, departed from us, all things work for Evill: therefore the Cause
of all our Evills is Sin, which is the disorder & distemper of the Soul.
We thus falling down, & declining from what the Cœlestiall Influences Requier, all things Rebell,
& are Distempered & work together for our Distruction. Then in Mans Body (being otherwise
most temperate & Composed with most sweet harmony) the Distemper of the Elements
beginneth, Evill humours Ariseth, & the Good being disordered & Severed from one another, by
a certain Vicissitude doth Vex & torment the body.
Then is a most Vehement dissonance perceived; Either by superfluity or diminution, or some
intrinseral accident, or by Superfluous Meat, whence superfluous humours are generated, by
which cause infirmities follow; yea the Animal spirits (the bridle being broken) doe fall to
contention, Then the Cœlestiall influences (otherwise of themselves Good), are made hurtfull to
us, even as the Light of the Sun to ill disposed Eyes.
[31r] Saturn darteth down Tediousnesse, Anguish, Melancholly, Madnesse, Sadnesse, Obstinacy,
Rigidnesse, Blasphemy, Disperation, Ling, Apparitions, Affrightments, Walkings of the Dead,
Stirrings of Devills, &c.
Jupiter Sendeth down Covetousness, Tyranny & Evill Ocations to get Wealth.
Mars darteth down prophane Arrogancy, furious wrath, Violent boldness, firce Stubbornesse, &c.
Sol darteth down Imperious pride, & insatiable Ambition, &c.
Venus, the deceits of Concupiscence, Lacivious Loves & filthy Lusts, &c.
Mercury, Cozenages, deceits, Lyes, Subtle desires of Evill, propensity to Sin.
Luna, the inconstant progresse of all things, & whatsoever is Contrary to Mans Nature &c.
By this means Man receiveth hurt, by Reason of his Unlikness with heavenly things, from
whence otherwise he ought to reap Benefit.
Now by the same reason, of mans Dissonancy with the Cœlestiall Influences, they are also
subjected to wicked spirits, who as the Officers & ministers of Gods justice, do discharge their
duty in punishing them. And so thus do men suffer Grievances by wicked spirits untill they are
againe Expiated, & Return to a divine nature.
Therefore a judicious man, May prohibit many Mischiefs about to fall on him, from the
Influence & Disposition of the stars [31v] (he fore Knowing their natures) by preventing, takeing
heed, & defending Least they should meet him, & least an ill disposed Subject should Receive
hurt, whence it ought to Reap benefit.144

144
From “We are nextly to show forth” to here is adapted from OOP book III, chap. 39, “How the Superior Influences,
seeing they are good by nature, are depraved in these inferior things, and are made causes of evil” (pp. 469-471).
42 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

The Cœlestiall Hierarchyes &c. Theologically Constructed, & Divided;


together with a breife Discription of the Heavenly Militia,
& other Servient and Assisting Angels &c.
The Cœlestiall Hierarchyes, or Orders of Angels, (as we said before) are nine and they are these,
Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Potestates, Vertues, Principallities, Arch-Angels,
Angels: & they are said to be of three kinds, & so are divided into three parts: Superiour, Middle,
& inferiour.
The Superiour Hierarchies, are Seraphim, Cherubim, & thrones; these are Supercœlestiall Angels,
and are only about God: these rule not the bodyes of the world, neither are they fitted for the
Government of Inferiour things, But infuse the Light Received from God, unto the inferiour
Orders, distributing their Respective Dutyes & offices to every one of them &c.: &
Contemplating the Order of Divivine providence, the first is the Goodness of God, the second in
the Essence of God (as the form) the third in the wisdom of God.
The Middle Hierachies are Dominations, potestates & Vertues, these Agenls concur to the
Government of the world; the first of these Command that which the other Execute; the Second
are ministers to the Heavens, [32r] and sometimes Conspire to Miraculus Operations: the third
drives away those things, that seem to be able to disturb the Divine Law.
The Inferiour Hierarchies are principallityes, Arch-Angels, & Angels: these as Ministering Spirits,
descend to take Care of inferiour things, & are Called Certaine Invisible powers: for sometimes,
they being Visible to none, doe direct our jorneys, & all our buisinesses, & are often present att
battles, & by Secret helps doe give the desired Successes to their freinds, for at there pleasure they
can procure prosperity, or inflict adversity: the first of these take care of publick things, as of
princes Magistrates, provinces & Kingdoms, &c.: As we read in Daniel, But the princes of the
Kingdome of Persia withstood me twenty one Days: But Jesus the Son of Syrach145 testifieth, that
for Every nation a Ruling Angel is Appointed, also Moses in his Song (Dutrerenomy) seemeth to
shew forth, saying, when the most high Divided the nations, he appointed them bounds,
according to the number of ⟬the angels of⟭ God.146 The second are present at sacred duties, and

145
Author of a deathly dull piece of “wisdom literature” also known as “Ecclesiasticus” which forms part of the “official
Apocrypha” (in so far as such a term has any meaning) of Protestant Bibles. The reference is probably to xvii. 17,
which in any case is a reference to / paraphrase of the verses of Deuteronomy alluded to immediately afterwards.
146
Deut xxxii, 8. There are significant variant readings in that text and the omission in the Janua was possibly
deliberate rather than a copyist error. The Septuagint Greek texts generally read “angels of God (ἀγγελων θεου)”
which was the version followed by Agrippa and is consistent with the passage in which he embedded the quote. This
however is a gloss or interpretation rather than a literal translation: a minority of LXX texts read “sons of God (υἱων
θεου)” for the Hebrew Beni Elohim or Beni Elim, which latter (attested by some Qumran texts) was probably the
original reading. Some texts, including the 17th-century English “Authorised Version,” read “sons of Israel,” following
the “Masoretic text,” a late Hebrew version that had been worked over to fit the dogma of the time, making nonsense
of the passage. The poem originated in a pre-monotheistic myth, versions of which are extant in Ugaritic cuneiform
texts, in which El Elyon the Most High, as head of the divine family, divided up the nations among his “sons,” various
local gods, amongst whom Yahweh got lumbered with the Israelites. Such an interpretation would obviously become
unacceptable when the Yahwist monolatry of Deuteronomy had become a strict metaphysical monotheism. See
Heiser, “Deuteronomy 32:8 and the Sons of God.”

direct the Divine worship about every man, and offer up the prayers and sacrifices of men before
God:147 the third disposeth every smaller matter, and to each thing each one is a preserver. There
are also of these, who afford vertue to the Least Minerall & plant & serve as Mediating Ministers,
Making things common to man, according as those inferiours on Earth are Committed to them
to be disposed of.
Besides the Superiour Hierarchyes, who are next to God, & Magnifie him incessantly with
[32v]
Continuall hymns & praises, there are other orders which are Called the Militia of Heaven.148
The first is Called the doctrinall order, of which order was that Angell which spake to Daniel,
saying, Come that I may teach thee, what shall Come to thy people in the Last Dayes.
The Second is the Tutelar Order, of which mention is Made in Daniel saying, behold, Michael,
one of the princes Cometh to myy help, And Elswhere, in that time shall rise up Michael a great
prince, who standeth for the sons of the peopel, & of this Order was Raphael, who Conducted
forth, attended & brought back Tobias.
The Third is the Procuratory Order, of which mention is made in Job, where we read, if the
Angel shall speak for him, he will intreat the Lord, and the Lord will be pleased with him, & also
Ecclesiasticus 16:26.149
The fourth is the Ministeriall Order, mentioned in the Epistle of St Paul to the Hebrews, in these
words, Are they not all Ministring spirits, sent forth for them who shall be Heirs of Salvation.
The fifth is the Auxilliary Hierarchy, of which Mention is made in Esay, In these words, the
Angel of the Lord went forth, & slew in the tents of the Assirians, an Hundered & Eighty five
thousands.
[33r] The Sixt is the Receptory Order of Souls: &c.150
The Seaventh is the Order of Assistants, of which we Read in Zachariah. Saying, these are the
two Sons of the Oyl of splendor; who assist, the Ruler of the whole Earth.151 [G]

147
The corresponding text in OOP (p. 395) has “before the gods” (coram diis in the Latin).
148
Agrippa attributes this alternate scheme of angelic orders, as contrasted with the pseudo-Dionysian system, to
Athanasius.
149
The corresponding text in OOP (p. 396) has “in the sixteenth Chapter of Ecclesiasticus, about the end,” going on to
quote Sirach xvi, 26-28.
150
Agrippa describes them thus (OOP p. 396): “of the which we read in Luke, the soul of Lazarus was carried by
Angels into the bosom of Abraham, and there we are taught, that we should make to ourselves friends of the
unrighteous Mammon, that we may be received into eternall Tabernacles” (ordo Animarum receptivus, de quo legitur
apud Lucam: Anima Lazari portata per angelos in sinum Abrahæ, & ibidem docemur, ut faciamus nobis amicos de mammona
iniquitatis, qui nos recipient in æterna tabernacula.)

From hence may be Observed, how the most high God in his Immense Wisdome, hath
Ordained & Constituted, the Orders & offices of the Cœlestiall Hierachyes of Good Angells, &
their Governments over the stars, & from them over All Sublunary things &c.
Some Angels are Saturnine, some Joviall, some Martiall, some Solar, some Veneriall, some
Mercuriall, some Lunar, as all Angels, spirits, stars & whatsoever Els are both Cœlestiall,
Terrestiall, or otherwise Elemetnal & Sublunar, in the whole Creation.
Some are East, some West, some North, some South.
Some are fiery, some watery, some Earthly: the species of these Angels are Computed according
to the four Cœlestiall powers (Vizt) [35r] The mind, Reason, Imagination, & the Vivifying &
Moveing Nature.
The fire followeth the mind, whence they Concur to the Contemplation of more sublime things
&c.
The Ayeriall followeth the Reason: & favor the Rationall faculty and after a Manner Seperats it
from the Sensitive & Vegetative facultyes; & so it serveth for an Active Life, and the fiery Serveth
for a Contemplative.
The Watry follows the imagination, & serves for a Voluptuous Life.

The Shem ha-Mephorash (‫)שם המורש‬, meaning something like “divided name” or “name of extension” is most
155

commonly applied to a set of names derived by Kabbalists from three consecutive verses in the Book of Exodus (xiv,
19-21), each of which has 72 letters in the Hebrew (72 is the numerical value of the name ‫ יהוה‬when it is written out
in a Tetractys or “wing-formation”: ‫ יהוה‬+ ‫ יהו‬+ ‫ יה‬+ ‫ = י‬26 + 21 + 15 + 10 = 72). By writing these out in rows, the
first and third right to left as usual, the second left to right, and reading down the columns, 72 three-letter names are
obtained. Since the first of those verses mentions “the angel of the Elohim” (malak ha-Elohim), the name of an angel is
further derived from each three-letter name by appending the theophoric terminal –el or –iah; each is also associated
with a Bible verse, all bar one from the Psalms, which in the Hebrew contains the same three letters in that order and
(in most cases) the divine name ‫יהוה‬. The names were written somewhat cramped in S5, so in this instance I simply
transcribed them from Agrippa (OOP, p. 420), who also gives the Hebrew spellings.

The Earthy follows Nature, & favours Vegatable nature.156 [H]157

Having breifly treated of the Cœlestiall Hierarchies of Good Angels, & of their severall &
Respective Qualities, Orders, offices, natures, & mutuall Correspondences, both amongst
themselves & also with men, we shall in the next place treat of those spirits commonly called
Ayeriall, Terrestiall, & Infernall, & of their several natures, offices, orders, and Connections.

Wherefore, that we may distinguish Light from Darknesse, truth from falsehood, & good from
Evill, Lest through Ignorance any Mistake should be, &c: it is to be Understood, that as the
numbers of Good Angels (according to their Legions) transcendeth humane Capacity, so
Likewise doth the numbers of Unclean spirits, for as many pure spirits as there are [35v] In the
Superior or Cœlestiall world: so many Uncleane Spirits are there In the inferiour or terrestiall
world; And now we shall shew fourth some severall of the Hierarchies, names, natures, Orders,
offices, Qualityes, Distinctions & Derivations of the Ayeriall, Terrestiall & infernall Spirits.158

156
Most of this section is adapted from four chapters of OOP, book III:
 Chap. 24, “Of the names of Spirits, and their various impositions, and of the Spirits that are set over the Stars, Signs,
Corners of the Heaven, and the Elements” (lists angels &c. of the Planets, Signs, Mansions of the Moon, directions
and Elements; also the Demon Kings).
 Chap. 25: “How the Hebrew Mecubals drew forth the sacred names of Angels out of the sacred writ &c. &c. &c.”
(72 Angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash).
 Chap. 28, “How sometimes names of Spirits are taken from those things over which they are set” (describes, and
gives examples of, deriving Spirit names by appending the Hebrew theophoric terminal la, -el or -iel, to the
Hebrew or Latin name for some thing or quality).
 Chap. 16, “Of Intelligences and Spirits” provides some connecting sentences and the concluding section.
The Olympic Planetary Spirits are not mentioned by Agrippa; their names and characters first appear in Arbatel de
Magia Veterum, printed at Basel in 1575 and bound up with the 1579 and subsequent editions of Agrippa’s collected
works, although the concept appears in the works of Paracelsus.
157
Excerpt “H” is a rambling diatribe of over five thousand words, arguing for the possibility of human colloquy with
Angels and against the notion (which may or may not have been seriously maintained at the time) that various angels
mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures were the Messiah, also including the statement “it is now June 1649” shortly prior
to a lengthy excerpt copied from a book published a decade after that date.
158
This connecting section possibly contains some original text, although part of the second paragraph is paraphrased
from OOP book III, chap. 16 (p. 393):
“[various theologians say], that the number of the good Angels trasncendeth humane capacity, to the which on
the contrary, innumerable unclean spirits do correspond, there being so many in the inferior world, as pure spirits
in the superior”
48 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

Of the Hierarchies or orders of Evil spirits or (Vulgarly) Devils


As there are nine orders, or Hierarchies of Good Angels, so is there also nine degrees of those that
are Evill: & they are as followeth (viz):

The first order is called false Gods, whose Prince is Beelzebub,159 that is an old God, who said I
will ascend above the height of the Clouds, and be Like to the most high:160 who usurping the
name of God, would be worshiped for God, & Require adorations & service, as that Devill, who
said to Christ, if thou wilt fall down & worship me, I will &c. Math. 4, Luke 4, &c.

The second order is Called the spirits of Lyes, whose prince is the serpent Pytho, these spirits join
themselves to the Oracles, & delube many by their Divinations & predictions to deceive them, of
this sort was that spirit who went forth, & was a Lying spirit in the mouthes of the prophets of
Ahab, I Kings, & to that woman of whome we read in the Gospel, who had pytho in her Belly.

[36r] The third order is Called Vessels of Ininiquity,161 & Vessels of Wrath: David Calls them
Vessels of Death, Isaiah cals them Vessels of fury, Jeremiah calls them Vessels of Wrath, Ezekiel
Calls them Vessels of Slaying & Destroying: whose prince is Belial: which is by interpretation,
without a yoak, or disobedient, a prevarication & an Apostate;162 of whome St. Paul to the
Corinths, saith, what agreement hath Christ with Belial, these are the inventors of wicked Arts, &
of all Evill things, for all wickedness, Malice, & deformity, proceedeth from these &c.

The fourth order is Called, Revengers of Evill, whose prince is Asmoedus causing judgment.

The fift order is called, Deluders, whose prince is Sathan, of whom it is written in the Apocalips,
that he seduceth the whole world, doing great Signes, Causing fire to descend from heaven, in
the sight of men Seducing the Inhabitants of the Earth, by reason of the signes that are given to
him to do, these spirits imitate Miracles, & serve wicked Nigromancers163 & Witches, &c.: &
seduce the people by their Miracles, as the Serpent seduced Eve, &c.

The sixth order is called Ayeriall powers, whose prince is Meririm, raging in the South, a Boyling
spirit, whom St. Paul to the Ephesians Calleth the prince of the powers of the Ayre, the
spiritwhich worketh in the Children of Disobedience, these joyn themselves to thundering &
Lightning, Corrupting the Ayr, causing pestilence & other Evills, amongst whome are the [36v]
four Angels mentioned in the Apocalips, to whome power is given to hurt the Earth & the Sea,
holding the four winds, from the four Corners of the Earth, &c.

159
Beelzebub, conventionally glossed “Lord of the flies,” appears in the Book of Kings as the god of Ekron, one of the
Philistine cities; the name is likely a malicious distortion of Baal-zebul, “Lord of the dwelling” or “Master of the house”
the intent being to imply he was Lord of nothing of consequence.
160
This phrasing is from Isaiah ben Amoz’s famous polemic (Isa. xiv, 14) against the King of Babylon, mockingly
calling him helel ben shaḥar, “shining one, son of the dawn” (a poetic reference to the morning star). At the time, he
was rebelling against the Assyrian empire, eventually prompting a military campaign by Sennacherib (which, despite
Isaiah’s fulminations, did not leave Babylonia desolate).
161
sic in S5.
162
In the Tanakh, a mere term of abuse meaning “masterless” or “worthless”; beni belial, “sons of Belial” is used in a
vague sense for various gangs of thugs, rapists and general lowlife. Only becomes the name of a chief of evil spirits in
later Jewish apocalyptic.
163
Cacomagis et maleficis in the Latin De Occulta Philosophia, “wicked conjurers and witches” in OOP (p. 398).
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 49
The seaventh Order is Called furies whose prince is called in Greek, Apollyon, in Hebrew,
Abaddon, that is Destroying & wasting, these are powers of Evill, Causing discords, war &
Devastations, &c.

The eight Order, is called Accusers or Inquisitors, whose prince is Astaroth, that is a Searcher out,
he is Called in Greek Diabolos, that is an accuser or Calumniator, who in the Revelations, is
Called the accuser of the Brethren, Accusing them night & day, before the face of our God.

The ninth Order is Called, tempters & Ensnarers, whose prince is Mammon, that is
Coveteousness: one of these spirits is present with Every man, which we therefore Call, the Evill
Genius.164

Furthermore, there are other particular spirits; both Ayeriall, terrestiall, & infernall, of severall
degrees, natures & offices, some whereof are According to the four parts, Angles or Divisions of
the compass, East, West, North, & South; Called or said to be Ayeriall powers, or spirits of the
Ayre, of which are many Legions, who by nature & office, are said to be both Good & Evill, as
particular Messagers, Attending Divine pleasure In fullfilling the Sacred will & Executing the
judgements of the Highest, When commanded or Appointed.

[37r]Of these are four great Monarchs, or Kings, as principall Governers, set Over many other
Legions of spirits of different & Severall Degrees from Superiour to inferiour natures, orders &
Qualityes, as Comparitively from great princes, & so gradually to the most inferiour & meanest
pesante, whose names are as followeth.

East: Urieus or Oriens West: Paymon North: Egin South: Amaymon.


According to other Authentick Denominations they are called by names:165
Ories Panym Egim Mayrary
But according to the tradition of the Hebrew Rabbins, they are thus nominated:166
Samuel167 Azael Mahazuel168 Azazel

Under whome many other bear Rule as princes, &c: of Legions, & there are of the sort
Innumerable spirits of private offices, as before we said.169 [I]

164
From the start of the chapter to here is taken, with some paraphrasing, omissions and rearrangement, from OOP
book III, chap. 18, “Of the orders of evil spirits, and of their fall, and divers natures” (pp. 397-399). The next paragraph
is connecting text.
165
These variant forms of the names appear in a late (1607) Dee Spirit Action (T&FR p. *34), although the second is
there spent Paynim. It is of course possible that Dee’s skryer and the redactor of the Janua dervived them independently
from the same MS. tradition.
166
Agrippa’s immediate source for these names was probably Reuchlin, De Arte Cabalistica, lib. iii.
167
More usually Samaël (Heb. ‫)סמאל‬: Samuel was a misprint in the English OOP.
168
More usally Mahazaël (Heb. ‫)מהזאל‬: Mahazuel was a misprint in the English OOP.
169
From “Of these are four great monarchs” is mostly adapted from OOP book III, chap. 24 (p. 417). Excerpt “I” is an
extended connecting passage which replaces “as before we said” with “as we have inserted in a particular Tract or
Treatise or two following, where they are all fully explained &c. &c. &c.” but otherwise says practically nothing,
serving largely to connect this section with the following chapter on the bodies of evil spirits.
50 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

Some further Considerations, Distinctions, & Dignifications


of this Subject touching Spirits.
The bodyes of Evill Angels, are far different in Quality from the bodyes of Good Angels, for by
reason of their fall, there Bodyes are Changed into the Quality of a now thick & condensed Ayre,
and are in Mannner Materiall, as shadows, & subject to passion, that they being struck are pained,
& may be Burnt in the fire, into Conspicuous Ashes: And though it be a spirituall body, yet it is
most sensible, & being touched Suffers, Although it be cutt [37v] In sunder, yet it comes together
again, As Ayre & water, butt in the meanetime is much pained.
These spirits are neither altogether Visible nor Invisible, & sometimes being Conspicuous, are
turned into divers figures, & assume similitudes & shadows of Bloodless Images, drawing the
filthiness of a grosse body, And by reason of there Affinity with Earth & water, are also taken
with terrestiall pleasures & Lusts, of which sorts are Hobgoblins, Incubus & Succubus &c.
There is none of these supposed to be male or female, seeing this difference of sex belongs to
Compounds, butt their Bodyes are Simple; neither Can any of them turn themselves into all
shapes at their pleasure, Except those that are fiery & Ayery, & unto those Kinds it is Easie to
Change themselves into what shapes their Imagination Conceives.
As for subterranean, & dark spirits, because their nature is Concluded in the straights of a thick,
unactive body, they cannot make those diversity of shapes as others can.
But watery Spirits & such as dwell upon the Moysst superficies of the Earth, by Reason of the
Moystness of the Element, are for the most Like unto Women, of which Kind are the Fayries of
the Rivers, & the Nymphs of the Woods.
[38r]Those Spirits which inhabit dry places, being of dryer Bodyes, shew themselves In forms of
men, Such are those which are Called Onosceli, or Satyrs, with Asses Legs, or fauni & Incubi, of
which there were Very man (as is Certainely & by Experience Known) & that often-times, some
of them did desire, & made Compacts with Women to Lyye with them, &c.170

There are also a Certaine kind of spirits, not so noxious, offensive, hurtfull, noisome, or
Displeasing, butt most near to Man, & are affected with humane passions, delighting much in
Mans Society, & doe willingly dwell with him. some also there are, which often meet poore men,
women & Children, but they are afraid of & fly from men of Constant, Credulus & undaunted
minds and resolutions; And to Good & pure men they are no way offencive, but to men that are
wicked & impure they are Very noxious & hurtfull. Some these, there are who dote upon
Women, some upon Children, some there be that are Delighted in the Company of divers
domestick & wild Animals, some inhabit Woods, & parks, some dwell about fountains &
Middowes (cum multis aliis171) but for Brevity Sake, we have inserted a necessary table following,
describing briefly the names of most of these kinds of terrestiall spirits, Fayryes, Elphs, Goblins, or

170
From the start of the chapter to here is adapted from OOP book III, chap. 19, “Of the bodies of the Devils” (pp. 402-
404). “Devils” is a mistranslation, the Latin has De corporibus dæmonum, and as already noticed, Agrippa specifically
states (Lib. iii cap. 16) that he does not use dæmon as synonymous with diabolus.

There are Likewise Certain things Vulgarly Called Gnomi, or inhabiotrs of the mountains, but of
some improperly Sylphes, Pygmies, or halfe Men [we say improperly by Reason that some
Credible Testimonialls do make this distinction, calling the Gnomi spirits of the Earth, Sylphes
spirits of the Ayre, Salamadry spirits of the fire, & the Nimphy spirits of the water.173] These (viz.,
Gnomi) are not properly said to be spirits butt Like spirits. And if we shall Call them spirits, then
Ought they to be Called Earthly spirits; because they have their Habitation in Mines & such Like
places, & where treasures & other things are hid [39r] and obscured or lost under the Earth, or
Rather in the Bowels thereof: and also under those Mountaines, where there is plenty of Goold &
Silver, & other the Like places, Mineralls & things, Concuding to the same sence & purpose,
wherefore they are said to be possessed with all temporall things, and are much delighted
therewith, & do take the Care & Cusdody thereof, & will not willingly depart therefrom.
Those who work in Mines & dig Mettals, have great Knowledg of these spirits, for sometimes
they do trouble, Molest, Vex & much persecute the Loboureous Diggers, with blows & stripes,
And at other times they are benevolent & freindly to them, & will work for Wages, &c.: And at
other times admonishing them & warning them of Dangers & Death, as when they are heard
once, twice, thrice, or oftener to knock, or strike, in the same place, which foretells the Death of
him that diggeth or Laboureth there, if he hast not the sooner away thence, for Either be he
buried by the fall of the Mountain or perisheth much some other like Accident, All which is said
to be true, as hath been Certainly attested, by the Experience & Knowledge of those that doe dig
in Mines, & Search in the Bowells of the Earth, for such of natures Benignityes as it followeth.

172
From “There are also a certain kind of Spirits” to here is adapted with some rearrangement, and the setting out of
one of Agrippa’s lists into a table, from OOP Book III ch. 32 (p. 450). “Fairies and Hobgoblins” (“Elphs” is an
interpolation in the Janua) renders Fauni & Lemures in the Latin.
173
This classification originates from Paracelsus’ Liber de nymphis, sylvanis, pygmaeis et salamandris &c. (posthumously
published in 1566), which in turn derives from & systematizes German folk-traditions, classical mythology and other
sources. Classical and German traditions regarding water-spirits had previously, as before remarked, been mentioned
in passing by Trithemius in Liber Octo Questionum in 1515.
52 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
[39v]These Sylphs or Pigmies, although they are Little by nature, yet they Can appear as big &
great, or in what other stature or Corporature they please unto Men, & Either fair, deformed,
Rich or poor to out imagination.
They are Knowing in all arts that are or can be found out, In all the Light of nature, & Containe
the Knowledge & understanding of them all withint themselves. It is said that they,as well as the
Gnomi, have many Mines of all sorts of Mettals, & great Store of treasures hid in the Earth &c.
under their power & Custody, And Many times they doe afford great benefit (in severall
Respects) to Mankind &c.

The nature of these spirits, or Elphs is, they are affected with and love all those that Love them, &
ahte al those that hate them, yea they Know both our minds & thoughts, in a great measure,
whereby It Comes to pass, that we may Easily Move them to come to us, if we Rightly
understand the Rules thereof.174
Of this terrestiall Order are Likewise those, which are commonly calld Fairies, of which they are
Seaven Sisters thus nominated:175

[40r] Lillia Restilia Foca Tolla176 Affrica Julia Venulla

It is Credibly Asserted, that in antient times many of these aforesaid Gnomes, Faries Elphs &
other terrestiall & wandering spirits have been seen & heard amongst Men, but now it is said &
beeleved that they are not so frequent: yet it is Certainely averred & Creditably Reported, that
some of them have been discovered & seen, but here we shall Aquiesce touching the differences
of there not appearing, or being not so Conversant with and amongst Men, so frequently in
Latter times, as they are Said Vusualy to doe in Antient times; by Reason the Cause thereof may
be very Easily Conjectured, by the Meanest Capacity. [K]177

174
From “There are likewise certain things” to here appears to be based on a passage in the pseudo-Paracelsan
Archidoxes Magicæ. The wording differs sufficiently from Robert Turner’s English version (The Supreme Mysteries of
Nature, London, 1656 – see pp. 51-2) to suggest independent translation; further, the text appears to have been altered
to reflect the compiler’s views; for example, “of some improperly Sylphs, or Pygmies” appears as “but by their proper
name, they are called Sylphes or Pigmies” in Turner, and the following parenthesis does not appear.
Harley 6482 has a different set of material treating of similar subjects (A Treatise on Angel Magic, pp. 153-168) which
is in turn an abridged English translation of Paracelsus’ Liber de nymphis, &c. &c. &c.
175
These, with minor variations in spelling, are a recurring set of names in English magical works of the 16 th and 17th
centuries (e.g. Folger MS. V.b. 26 pp. 67, 81; Folger MS. X.d. 234; BL Sloane MS. 3824 fol. 98v, Bodleian e Mus. 173
fol. 15v, and others), although I am not currently aware of them being mentioned in any printed works of the period.
They are sometimes said to be subject to a Queen called Micob and a King called Oberyon or Oberion (the latter is also
mentioned as a spirit called on in connection with treasure-hunting in the early 16th century). They apparently
originated as a group of disease demons some centuries prior: the “Sigismund fever charm” preserved in an 11th-
century MS. (Dijon, Bibl. Municipale MS. 448) cites “seven sisters” called Lilia, Restilia, Fugalia, Suffoca, Affrica, Julia &
Macha.
176
More commonly appears as Folla; the ‘T’ was possibly a scribal error, as written it looks like the ‘F’ in “Foca” with
the middle horizontal stroke missing.
177
The theoretical part of the Janua ends here. Addition “K” (S4 fol. 49v-52v) is a rambling discourse on the nature of
these terrestrial spirits, which in over 2400 words manages to say practically nothing about them save that they are not
Angels or souls of the dead.

Isagogicall Observations & Instructions


By way of preface.178
The signs of Appearance, both of Good Angels & Evill spirits, are & ought to be Carefully & well
observed; by Reason they are the foregoers of such appearances, & whereby are knowne the
differences thereof, which is a matter of materiall Consqeuence as hereafter shall be plainly
shewed forth.

If Good Angels or Elemental powers of Light, or otherwise dignified Spirits, of a benevolent, or


symbolising nature with Cœlestiall powers, and allayed to the welfaire & preservation of
mankind, are moved & called [40v] fourth to Visible appearance (in a Christall Stone or glass) as
one usuall way or Custimary forms is amongst the Learned Magisians, then the signe or teste of
there appearance, most seemeth Like as a Vaile or Curtaine of some Beautifull Colour, hanging
in or about the stone, or Glasse, as a bright Cloude or other pretty Kind of Heroglifficall shew,
both strange & yet Very delightfull to behold: it is therefore to be Remembered, that the Magicall
Sophy ought to have for this purpose a Christall Stone, of a round Globick forme, Very Cleare &
transparent, or other stone of the Like diaphanity, or Ball of Clear & Solid Glass, or thick hollow
Glasse, with a Little hole on the top of Like forme, of any Convenient bigness or Diamiter,
Acording as can Reasonably be obtained or made, & the stone to be set or fastened in a frame, &
also the Glasses to be made with a stalk or shank fixed thereto, & so to be put in a Socket with a
post or pedestal to stand upright, the stone being called by the name of a shew stone, & the
Glasses by the name of Glasse Receptacles, & in practice or Action, upon invocation or motion
made for spirituall appearance, there shall Either by a wax Candle on either Side thereof or a
Lamp behind the same burning during the time of Action, set on a table apart fitted & furnished
for this purpose, butt if Appearance (as aforesaid) be moved for by invocation, out of the shew
stone or glass Receptables, or if yet notwithstanding Appearances happen to shew themselves out
of them, yet the signe of their appearance will be [41r] Very delectable, & pleasant, though various
and amusing the sences to behold, as a shining brightness or sudden flashis, or such like
similatudes very splendid in shew, all about, or in the place where action is made or appearance is
moved.

When Invocation is made to any of the Cœlestiall powers, or other dignified Elementall spirits of
Light, & appearance accordingly is presented and visibly sheweth it selfe, Either in the shew
stone, or Glass Receptacle, or otherwise out of the same, then vew the same very well, & also take
notis of its Corporature, Physogmony, or features of the face, Vestures or Garments, Deportment
& behaviour, Language, & whatsoever Else may be worthy of note; by reason of making a true
distinction between the appearances of Good Angels or spirits, & others that are Evill, & of
Knowing the Same without being deceived; for although Evill powers or spirits of darkness, may
be Invocated, moved or Called fourth to Visible appearance & Consutled withal, & made use of
in such Concerns, or upon such action, wherein by nature & office, they may be commanded to

serve, In all such Matters, according as thereupon are dependent, & as the Necessity thereof shall
be suitable & Requistie; but then Actions with them are different & severall, both in time, place &
Order, & also the manner of appearation, which by them are diversely & severally Elswhere
hereafter inserted, & shewed forth on its proper place, Therefore doe the Magick Philosophers
give this Caution Saying, Beware that one action, operation or Secret in this Art [41v] be not
mixed with another, &c:179 but Let Cœlestiall, Elementall & Infernall Actions, operations, &
invocations, be used & kept apart or separate, according to the Method & manner as are in
particular Ascribed, & properly Referred unto Each of them; now then Observe that the
Appearance of Cœlestiall & Benevolent Angels, & other Dignified Elementall Spirits, or powers
of Light, are to be thus Known or Distinguished from those that are Infernall or Evill powers or
spirits of darkness,180 the Good Angels or Dignified powers of Light as aforesaid, are in
Countenance very fair, beautifull, Affeable & youtfull, smiling, Amiable, & usually of a flaxenish
or Goold Coulerd haire, & in behaviour or gesture very Curteous & friendly, in speech very
Gentle, Mild Grave, & Eloquent, using no vaine, Idle or Superfluous Language, or discourse; in
theire Corporature very handsome, straite, Comely well favoured, & in Every Limb most Exactly
formall & well Composed, there motions sometimes Interseprable,181 both in their appearance,
Continuance & departure, there Garments & Vestures, of what fashion, forme, or Colour soever
thereof, are Likewise very faire, beautifull or Oriental, & if it be of many colours or strange
fashion, yet they are also very splended, rare & Lovely to behold; & in short, they are all
Cœlestially Glorious in all their Appearances, as they are in Countenance & Corporature most
comely, beautifull, Amiable & well Composed, without any of the Least deformity Either of
hairyness in the face or body, or a Swarthy Complexion or any Crookedness, or either an Ill-
shaped member [42r] of the body, so also is there Garments or Vestures, without spot or blemish,
Either of being Ragged, or torne or stained, or by any wise to be seemingly durty, or daubed,
with any filthy, Greasy or nasty Soile, & always Imbrace the word Mercy. When the appearance
of any Cœlestiall Angels, or Angellical powers of Light, or Dignified elemetnall Spirits are
Visibly shewed forth & by good testimony or Diligent Observation well known to be so; then
with dew Reverence given thereto, may be said as followeth:

Wellcome be the Light of the Highest,182 & welcome be the messagers of Divine Grace & mercy, unto us,
the true Servants & worshipers of the same your God, whose name by Gloryfied both now & for
Evermore.

The main thrust of Meric Casaubon’s preface to T&FR was that the “Angels” with which Dee was conversing were
not conscious fabrications or delusions on the part of his skryers, but neither were what they claimed to be: that they
were rather “false, lying spirits” sent by “the Divel of Hell (as we commonly term him).” Casaubon sought not to deny
Dee’s sincerity in his expressions of Christian piety, but to argue that he had failed to distinguish “illuding spirits” from
“Angels of Light.” This preface is on one level a rebuttal to such polemics (Casaubon’s was by no means the first) in so
far at it seeks to show that it is possible to tell the difference. See Asprem, “False, Lying Spirits and Angels of Light.”

sic in S5; possibly a garbling of “imperceptible.” There may have been a line omitted through eye-skip: the
corresponding text in H2 (apud McLean) reads: “[…] their motions sometimes to be plainly perceived, sometimes swift
and sometimes imperceptible […]”
182
This phrase was used by Dee to greet Uriel (“light of God”) in the Spirit Action of 1584.08.20 (T&FR p. 219).
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 55
And if the appearances be of Good, then it will stay, but if not, it will Immediately Vanish, or flee
hastily away, at the Rehersing of the word Mercy. But if any Evill power shall appear in the
place or stead of that which is Good, & impudently withstand any opposall, then Vanquish It, as
in this Case Evill spirits are to be dealt withal, in manner & forme as as hereafter is inserted in its
place; by Reason those powers or spirits who are by nature Evill, & so are contrary to those by
nature Good, may not be dealt withal in those actions or operations, nor those powers of Light,
by nature Good, to be moved in Reference, to what Otherwise properly appeartaineth or
Belongeth by nature & office to the Evill powers or spirits of Darkness, more then as for their
[42v] Assistance, & so accordingly for Deliverance from any Violent suprizall, assaults, or Illusions,
or other infernall temptations or Envious attempts &c.

Now then, if by these Observations, the the Expected appearance is understood & found to be
Cœlestiall & of Good, or to be Dignified Elementall spirits of powers of Light, & so likewise of
Good, as accordingly was invocated, moved & Called forth by name, order & office, to such
appearances (say thus):

Are ye the same, whome we have moved & called forth to visible appearance here before us at this time,
by the name of N: or who Els are ye, & of what order, or what is Els your name, that we may so note of
you, Either as you may be Ranked in order, amongst the blessed Angels, or otherways Known or Called
by of any Mortall man, if you be of Cœlestiall or Elementall Verity, & so of Charity, you cannot
Mislike of or deny these our sayings.

Then if it Maketh any Answer, as peradventure it may, then make Reply according as the Nature
of the discourse requireth, but if it Maketh no answer, then repeat the words aforesaid, Are ye the
same &c.

Then it will shew forth or tell its name, order & office, the which when it is known by hearing,
then it will speake, or otherwise shew forth, Say then as followeth, if you be N: as you say, in the
name of Jesus, say that all wicked angels are justly Condemned, & that by the mercy of God in the merits
of Christ, mankind elect are to be saved. 183

[43r]Whereunto it will then return, a Satisfactory answer or, Els it will depart & be gon away;
then if the appearance be of Good, as may be Known by the answer & the Reasons thereof, that
was made or given to the afforesaid proposition, say as followeth:

O ye servants or Messagers, of Divine grace & mercy, & terrestiall Angels or angellicall powers of Light,
or dignified Elementall spirits & mediums of Benevolence to mankind, Servants of God, you both now at
this time & always, are & shall be unto us truly & Sincerly wellcome; humbly desireing you also to be
freindly unto us, & do for us, In whatsoever It shall please you to give by Order & office unto you, for the

Compare Dee’s interrogation of Ave, in the Action of 1584.06.28 (T&FR. p. 169): “What is your name, either as
you are notified among the blessed Angels, or called by of any mortal man? If you be of Verity, and so of Charity, you
cannot mislike my speeches.” He initially got no reply, and commented “Belike he is not sent unto us by God: for if
he were, he would do his message”; on getting a name, which he recognised as one of the filii filiorum (a group of
Angels mentioned in an earlier action), he continued: “If you be AVE, In the name of Jesus, say, that all wicked Angels
are justly condemned: and that, by the mercy of God, in the merits of Christ, mankind, elect, is to be saved.”

And if any Answer, shall be made hereunto, or any discourse from hence should arise or proceed
hereupon, then both wisdome & Reason must be the principall Conduct in the Management

[43v] The signes of intrusions or appearance of Evill spirits, when action or Invocation is
otherwise made, for moveing & Calling forth Cœlestiall Angels or Intelligences, or other
dignified powers or Elementall spirits of Light, and not Apparent or visible to be any wways
disernable, more then their shapes, forms, Gestures, & other like principals in Appearance, quite
Contrary behaviour, Language, Clothing or Vestures, to those above Related, & to be observed
of the good &c: neither are the herein to be otherwayes judged of them then as intruders,
tempters & Illuders, on purpose if possible, to deceive, & also to destroy the perseverance & hopes
of Obtaining any Benefit by Cœlestiall & good mediums; by Reason they are degraded &
deprived of power, to send or shew forth any forgoing signe of their appearance, in these or such
Superiour Actions, invocating or moveing onely Cœlestiall or Dignified Elementall powers &c.
to visible Appearance; & herein to be noe otherwise taken further notis of, then to be Vanquished
& sent away, as before have been said. Observe then that the Corportature, forms & shapes of
Evill powers or spirits of Darkness, in their appearance by forceable intrusion of this kind, are
Easily to be discovered from the good powers or spirits of Light, as now shall be declared as
followeth:

Evill powers or spirits of Darkness, are Ugly Ill favord & Beastly in Shape & appearance, wherein
Observe if they doe appeare in upright [44r] or humane Stature, then Either body, face or
Covering are quite Contrary to the other before specified of the good, for although an Evill or
infernall spirit, may appeare in the Likeness of an Angel of Light, Especially in the time & plac,e
when Good Angels or spirits of Light, are Invocated, moved & Called forth, forming themselves
very nearly, so Even almost imperceptible to sight & apprehention, Except Ingeniously
Discovered by an accute & curious observance, and Clearly may be discerned Quickly, by there
Raggedness & Uncleaness of their Garments, & the difference of there Countenance in beauty &
features, & other indecent Composures of the body, Language and behaviour, & the Corporall
deformityes of the Limbs, or beastiall similitudes, who in such times do sudainely make their
Appearance, and as Readyly shew forth strange motions Gestures, & speaking unusually
blasphemous, Rediculous or different Language, Alltogether Dissonant & Contrary & very
Unlike, both in Manner & matter, to that of the Cœlestiall Angels, & Elementall powers & other
dignified spirits of Light, which also may be soon discovered by the diligence of a sober &
Curious speculator, which notable Intrusions, they make on this account, properly to destroy, &
if possibly, to overthrough the Reason, hope & judgement of the Invocant, & by great Errours &
other Ignorant Mistakes, not onely to deceive & Confound the more Solid & [44v] Genuine
Knowledge & Capacity of man Laboring herein, but also to distract the Sences, & thereby Lead
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 57
the Understanding into a Meander, & therein to weary & tyer us with Varity of Doubts &
Disparations, not Knowing how to un Ravell this Gordian Knot, or to be Satisefied or Deliveryd
from this hopeless pilgrimage, but by the help of Icarian Wings.

From hence it may be understood, that Evill powers of spirits of Darkness, sooner appear as
Impudent Intruders, in the time of Good action, & in place where invocation is made, for the
moveing & calling forth of any good Angels, or Dignified elementall powers, or spirits of Light
to visible Appearnce, than at any other time & place, when as unto themselves they shall be
Indifferently by order, office & name, invocated, moved & Called forth to Visible appearance for
such their assistance, as by nature & office wherein they are accordingly Servisable & suitable to
the ocation wherein they are Commanded: therefore in such actions, Method, forme of
observations as are to be onely Referred unto those Evill powers of spirits of Darkness, those
occations (we say) are Differently set apart, & to be distinguished both in time, place, order &
Method forme & otherwise as aforesaid, & so they may be moved & Called forth Commanded &
Constrained & accordingly so dealt withall & used, as the present ocation shall Requier [45r] and
the direction of the Invocant shall find agreeable to their nature & office: So then, here it is
observable, that Evill Spirits may be invocated & dealt withall, differently or apart by themselves
accordingly as aforesaid, but not in such place or at such time, as when Aciton or Motion is made
for the appearance of any Cœlestiall or other dignified powers of Light, And here it is to be
observed further, that Evill powers of spirits of Darkness & other Elementall powers or deferent
spirits, by nature Good as well as Evill & other wandering spirits, non Resident in orders Sertaine
of Like nature &c. may be Commanded & Constrained by invocation to Servis & obedience
Comparitively as vile slaves accordingly as Elswhere In a particular treatis184 & invocations
properly thereto Referred, with severall other Appertinent Rules & Observations Inserted therein,
as Amplty & at Large shewed forth, but Cœlestiall Angels & other Dignified Elementall powers
& spirits of Light, but nature & office wholly Benevolent or Good may not be Commanded nor
Constrained by any Invocation; they are onely to be moved & Called forth by humble intreaties,
Thereby acquiring favor & freindship.

Now then if at any time & place, when Action or motion is made, & humbly intreated Earnestly
besought, for the appearance of any Cœlestiall Angel or Dignified Elementall power, or other
[45v] spirit or spirits of Light; & wicked Intruders should impudently Insinuate, & thrust
themselves in place, & would Enforce Credulty into the Speculator, &c:

And that it shall be plainly Discovered, then shall the master Sophy Dismiss, Discharge & send
away & banish them from hence, after this Manner &c:

The closest thing to such a treatise known to be extant is a work titled “Longobardus,” a copy of which by Elias
Ashmole appears in Sloane MS. 3824 (fol. 3-15): it includes a preliminary prayer, “to be said before the Calling Forth of
Elementall or Infernall Powers, or Spirits of Darkness,” a conjuration of “L:B:S” (Lucifer, Beelzebub, Satan) to have
them compel subordinate spirits, a conjuration of a group of named spirits “for the obteyning of Treasure Trove,” and
a “General Invocation, Conjuration or Constringation” (deriving in part from the Solomonic Vinculum Spirituum) for a
“Spirit or Spirituall power, who is knowne of us from the Tradition of our Auncesters, & called by the name N”: the
whole thing is in very similar style to the conjurations of the Janua. The specific term “vile slaves” applied to evil spirits
also appears in Clavicula Tabularum Enochi in Sloane MSS. 307 & 3821, in turn deriving from T&FR p. 188.
58 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
The Vengance of God is a two Edged sword, Cutting Rebellious & wicked spirits of Darkness, & all
other Usurping powers in peeces, the hand of God is like a strong Oake, which when it falleth Breaketh in
Sunder many shrubs, the Light of his Eyes Expelleth Darkness, & the sweetness of his mouth Keepeth
from Corruption; Blessed are all those unto whome he sheweth mercy, & preserveth from temptation &
illusion of wicked intruders, Defending them by his mighty power under the cover of Divine Grace not
Suffering his humble servants to be overcome or overthrown, by any infernall assaults, now therefore
because you have come Hether, & Entered without Licence, Seeking to Entrape & Ensnare, us, & Secretly
Conspired by these your Subtilltyes to Deceive & Destroy us & our hopes, In the true meaning of these
our Sober, innocent, honourable, & Cœlestiall Actions & operations, we doe in the great & mighty name,
& [46r] the power of the most high God, tryumph Imperially over you, & by the vertue, force & Efficacy
whereof, be you & your powers Vanquished & overthrown, & utterly defaced; & behold, by vertue of that
Cœlestiall power, by Divine Grace given to us, & wherewith we are potently dignified, & as heirs of
God’s promise (through faith) Continuing Inherent with us, we doe hereby wholly deface & over through
you, & ye are totally Vanquished. Therefore we say Depart, & immediately be gone from hence, in peace,
without noyse, turbulence, injury, harme, Violence or other danger to us or to this place, or to any other
places or person whatsoever; & as you are of Darkness & the places of Darkness, & have without and
Charge or permission Enviously Intruded, seeking thereby to Ensnare, Deceive & overwhelme us, the
divine Judgment & Vengance of the most high God, for this your Wicked & malitious Conspiracy &
Insinuation, be your deserved Reward, & as it was delivered to you, so take it with you, that the malaice
which you have shewn to us, may heap your own Distruction; be ye therefore Dismissed & immediately
(we say) Depart hence to your Orders, & there to Continue in the bods of Confinement, During the
divine pleasure of the Highest.

If they are yet Obstinate, & imputent, & will not depart, but Rather withstand the commands of
the Magitian, Let him then say as followeth:

[46v] Doe ye thus impudently withstand, & obstinately Refuse to Depart from our presence, & from this
place & pernitiously attempt yet farther against us, in the name of Jesus we say depart ye wicked Seducers,
& be ye Immediately away from hence & be it unto you according to the wowrd of God, which Judgeth
Rightously from Evill unto worse, from worse unto Confusion, from Confusion to Desperation, from
Desperation to Damnation, from Damnation to Eternall Death, Depart therefore we say unto the Last
Crye & Reamine with the prince of Darkness in punishment justly due, as a fit Reward unto your
wicked Malitious Deservings, & the God of mercy Gratiously Deliver us from you, Jehovah Jehovaschah.

And if no Cœlestiall Angel, or other dignified spirits of Light appear in place to Vanquish, Send
away, or Seal up any wicked or infernall spirit or spirits of Darkness, When Appearance is present,
As Notorious Intruders in the time & place, when Cœlestiall or Elemental Actions with dignified
powers of Light are in agitation or operation: then Let the discreet Magitian with prudent
passion, and Diligent Regard to him selfe, & Consult the foregoing Rules, accrding to Respective
& serious observation, who wthen by the office of him selfe, will undoutedly not onely not onely
Contract the sight & freindship of the Cœlestiall Angels, & also Dignifed Elementall & other
benevolent spirits, or powers of Light, to his Releefe & Comfort & to Vanquish [47r] & overcome
all Evill spirits or powers of Darkness &c: But also shall have power to Command, Call forth &
Constraine all sublunary spirits & powers of all natures, orders, & offices, both good & Evill Light
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 59
& Darkness, or otherwise Relating thereunto, & bring them to such Obedience according to
their severall & Respective natures & offices they may be soe Commanded & Constrained to
serve & obey.

therein, to all such of thy humble & true servants, whome thou art gratiously pleased to shew

the Least of thy blessings, yet with assured Confidence of thy heavenly benignities, do (in thy
holy feare) humble prostrate our Selves before thy Almighty presence, at the Sacred feet of thy

It seems likely that some text was omitted by eye-skip in S5; the corresponding text in H2 (apud McLean) reads
“That we thus humbly beseech thee to give and grant unto us, and all things else that shall be necessary for us”; the S6
version here follows the S5 reading.
186
The text in S6 (fol. 2r) here adds, somewhat cramped (in the same hand as the main text), the concluding phrase
“which we also humbly beseech you to grant unto us for the merrits of Christ Jesus our blessed Redeemer, Amen.”

[In this release, the texts of the Keys that follow are not entirely
satisfactory: owing to complete or near-complete unreadability of
large parts of the page images of S5 that I’ve been using, it was
necessary to supply portions of the text from other sources,
primarily the copies in BL Sloane MS. 3628, or, in the case of the
“Replications” (not in Sloane 3628) by taking advantage of the fact
that, barring the particular hierarchical names, the nine repeat
practically the same wording. As such, vagaries of spelling,
punctuation, capitalisation and the like in the following are not as
close to the primary source MS. as I would have liked.]
[A note: the seals that head up the “Celestial Keys” have been redrawn. The designs that appeared in S5, as
long ago observed by Joseph Peterson, were copied from figures in the scale of the number 10 in J-B
Großchedel’s Calendrium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum, a magical emblem work printed at Frankfurt in 1618,
which consisted of elaborated, expanded and illustrated versions of the scales of the numbers from 1 to 12
from De occulta philosophia lib. ii. The S5 designs omitted names in Hebrew script (they are here restored)
but retained the other text from the printed Calendarium (with some alterations and mis-spellings, e.g.
Methratton for Metatron, Raphael and Michael being switched); however, the text around the figures in the
printed Calendarium was in many instances modified or contracted from the MS. (extant as BL Harley MS.
3420, which was identified as the author’s holograph in a 2002 study by Carlos Gilly) owing to the limits of
how much text even a legendary engraver like Matthäus Merian could physically fit in the small space (less
than 2cm across) allotted for each circular device. The Latin mottoes on the figures have here been restored
where it was practical to do so without making an unreadable mess of the design, based on images from
Harley 3420 posted at esotericarchives.com/mc/index.html.

H2 gives completely different seals, with the names written in pointed Hebrew with frequent mis-spellings,
indicating that Smart—who wrote or copied a work on Hebrew pronunciation and grammar (Harley MS.
6480)—back-transliterated them from the Romanized forms, and the character for Hod / Mercury having
both the names Raphael and Michael. See McLean, A Treatise on Angel Magic, pp. 202-210.]

The title / preamble of the first key was written at the foot of S5 fol. 49r, but crossed out.
62 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

[49v] The First Key,

of Seraphim, whose principall governing Angel or Blessed Intelligence bearing Rule is

188
The Latin on the hexagrams in the seal is to be read around the outside of the figures rather than around the
triangles separately, thus Deus ens Simplissimum Divinitatis and Methratton Princeps Facierum. In the MS., the obverse
has “Quod / Oculus / Non vidit” on the ascending triangle, “Deus Pater / Esse simplicissimum / divinitatis” on the
descending and the reserve: “Metatron / Princeps / Facierum” on the ascending triangle and “Seraphim / Animalia /
Sanctita” on the descending.
189
This citation, also appearing in other “Invocation of Angels” texts (and the third and fourth books of the Lemegeton),
likely derives from the Dee-Kelly Spirit Actions: in the Action of 1584.04.14 (T&FR p. 82), Gabriel refers to God as
“[he] before whom the Quire of Heaven sing, O Mappa la man hallelujah”). Similar wording appears in conjurations in
the Lemegeton (e.g. S5 fol. 145r, “[…] by and in the name of great god Jehovah whereunto the whole quire of heaven
singeth continuously, O Mappa La man Hallelujah Amen.”).

The concluding clause of the “Key” is slightly modified from the conclusion of the sixth of Dee’s Claves Angelicæ,
which in the English reads “Wherefore harken unto my voice, I have talked of you and I move you, in power and
presence, whose works shalbe a song of honor and the praise of your God in your Creation” (Darfar sol peth bien Brita
od zácam g’micálzo sobháth trián luiáhe odecrin MAD Qaa’on). Similarly, “make us partakers of undefiled knowledge”
(ozazma plapli Iadnămad) is the conclusion of the Key of the 30 Ayres, and “I am a servant of the same your God”
(zirdo noco MAD) is a recurring phrase in the Keys.
The entire speech, of over 1600 words, is a single run-on sentence.
66 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

Some further instructions.196


When Invocation and Replycation thereunto is amply Made according to time Method, & order,
& the Cœlestiall Angel, or Intelligence thereby moved doth appeare, or any other angel or
Intelligence of the same Hierarchy, then marke & observe well the manner, shape, form,
Corporature, gesture, Vestments, & foregoing Signe thereof; & if in all Symbolicall Likelyhud, &
probable Symtoms, the Apparition Seemeth to be no Less or otherwise Conjectured, then what is
from hence to be Expected, although that very Intelligence, which was moved & Called forth by
name, doth not appeare, by Reason it is of the superior Order of the Hierarchy who are not
always sent, nor easily go forth, or otherwise Moved to Visible appearance, but of Especiall grace
& divine pleasure more immediately unto Choyce & peculiar Vessels of honour, accordingly
Appointed Immediately, by the holy Ghost, to fullfill the Commands of the highest, but yet some
one or other or more of the Cœlestiall powers of the same order (as aforesaid) more Inferiour in
Degree may be moved hereby to descend [54r] and appear at the Earnest Request of the Sophick
Invocant, and to performe whatsoever shall be Requested, according to its nature and office. It
cannot be Unknowne to any Discreet Magician, but whensoever any Good Angel or Cœlestiall
intelligence, is moved or Called forth to Visible Appearance, butt also that Evill spirits & infernall
powers of Darkness, are Immediately ready to incroach, & appeare in the Roome or stead of the
Good Angels, wherefore, It behoveth to be very Carefull & greatly Observing thereof, both the
Method, & manner, how to know & Rightly to Distinguish, the appearance of Good Angels or
spirits, from those that are evill, & how to deal with Ether of them (that is to say) how to Receive
Good Angels in their Appearances, & how to Vanquish & banish Evell spirits when they Intrudce,
and Enter into place & presence to deceive & overwhelm us, we have sufficiently & at Large
insesrted & shewed forth, in our Izagogicall preface, before Annexed hereunto, therefore we shall
in this place onely shew forth a Method, of our Greeting the Apparition of any Cœlestiall Angel,
or Dignified powers of Light.

When by all the prescribed rules given, that Apparition is truly Known to be Cœlestiall, & of
good, then humbly receive it with Ample submission & Congratulation, Saying as followeth:

196
This is largely recapitulation of things said in the “Isagogicall Preface.” In H2 it was moved to the end of the
“Preface” and re-titled “A Second Introduction.”
JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 67
Welcome be the Light of the Highest, & welcome be the Mesengers of Divine Grace & mercy unto us, the
true servants & worshipers of the Same your God, whose name by glorified both now & for Evermore.

[54v] If the Appearance is perfectly known, and Understood, & by all Signes & tokens perfectly
Known, to be Cœlestiall or Angelicall powers of Light; then with due & reverent Observance:
say as followeth:

O you Servants or Messagers, of divine grade & mercy, & Cœlestiall Angels or Intelligences, powers of
Light, or Dignified Elementall spirits, & Mediums of Benevolence to Mankind, servants of God, you both
now at this time, & always are & shall be unto us, truly & sincerely welcome: humbly desireing you also
to be freindly to us, & doe for us, in whatsoever It shall please God to give, by your Order & office unto
us, for the better Knoweldge & benefit of mankind, living here upon Earth, & to make us partakers of
true Science & sapience, In the Undefiled & Sacred wisdome of your Creation.

And if any Answer should be made hereupon, or any discourse from hence should arise, proceed
therein, then both wisdome & Reason, must be the principall Conduct, in the Management
thereof, but if there be Silence, that no Discourse ariseth from hence, then begin to make humble
Request, for Answer to your desires & proposals; then will the Effects of all things, be
undoubtedly with Good Successe Determined.

But if there should ⟬be⟭ any feare, Doubte or Mispression, or just Cause of jelousie to be had or
made of an Expected Apperition of any Angel or Intelligence of the Cœlestiall Orders, or other
Elementall [55r] powers of Light, Cœlestially dignified by reason of tedious Delay through non
appearance, or Contrary Signes going before, or Deformed Shapes in appearance, or Severall
such Like Ill Concequences; or otherwise, if at any time there should appear a spirit, which may
be thought is not of Good, nor of the Orders moved, that there be any mistrust of it, the which
may be Easily perceived by its forme, Gesture, Motion & Semilitidue, & also by Its Answering, to
any Discourse or Questions made, then may be said thus to it as followeth.

In the name of Jesus who art thou? Then perhaps it will say, I am the servant of God. Then you may
say, are you come from God, or art thou sent form him with good tidings or Message, &c. Then
perhaps it will say to you, or some such Like words, what I am he Knoweth, of whome I bear witness.
Then you may ask its name; Either as it is notified amongst the blessed Angels, or Called by of any
mortall man; if you be of verity, & so of Charity, you cannot mislike my speeches. Then it will tell to
you its name, or say nothing at all; but if it doth tell you his name, then you may say to it, if you
be N: in the name of Jesus, say that wicked Angels are Justly Condemned, & that by the mercyes of God
in the merits of Christ, Mankind Elect is to be saved. Then it will give you a Sufficient or
Satisfactory Answer, or Els It will Disapeare or Vanish & begone: But if It is understood, or
proveth to be of Good, & [55v] maketh rationall Answers to such questions as are demanded, then
perhaps it will say, thus much thou hast Requiered, then you may say, I did soe, for so is his Judgment
& justice against the Impenitent, & his Mercy to his Elect, &c. Then you may aske your desires.197

Like the similar dialogue in the original “Isagogicall Preface,” this is lifted from Dee’s interrogation of Ave (T&FR p.
169) with the names removed. In the MS., speeches and direction were distinguished, rather clumsily, by putting the
latter in parentheses.
68 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
We thought Good to instance, thus much for better information & instruction, although a full
narrative hereof is amply & at Large shewed forth, in the foregoing Izagogicall preface, both as to
the Knowledge & Receiving of good Angels or Cœlestiall Intelligences, or other Elementall
spirits or powers of Light, Angelically or Cœlestially Dignified, And for the Knowledge
Vanquishing & Driving aweay of all Evill spirits, & infernall powers of Darkness, whensoever
any such Appostates shall forcibly Intrude, or make Enterance and Appearance instead of
Cœlestiall or good Angels, or other Dignified Elementall powers of Light, in the time & place of
these Actions, purposely to Deceive, Confound & Uterly (if possibly) to destroy the hopes,
Expectations & benefits of the Sophick Phylosophers, in their Elaborate Industry, & Care &
Earnest addresses, unto the Cœlestiall Angels, or blessed Intelligences, or dignified Elementall
powers, or other spirituall Mediums or messagers of Divine light; for the true Knoweldge &
finding out the use of all Physical & metaphysicall Arcanums, or secrets in [56r] Superiour &
profound Misteryes: which Cannot otherwayes be known or found out, but by the divine Light
& Conduct of Angelicall Ministery or other spirituall Revelation, & instruction, by such
Mediums of Benevolency to Mankind, as through the divine Grace Mercy & goodness of the
highest, are by nature Order & office, thereunto, preordinately decreed & appointed.

But as touching the Insisting any further of this Matter, wee think it needless, since it is fully
treated of in the foregoing preface, which we advise to be well understood, by a due & Serious
Consideration; before any progresse, or unadvised proceedings are made herein.

Observe also, that whereas we have Severally & particularly mentioned Cœlestiall Angels, or
Blessed Intelligencies & Elementall powers of Light, & other Dignified spirits, of Light, who are
by nature & office good, & also freindly & benevolent unto Mankind; & have treated of them in
a generall sence, without Materiall Distinction, yet Let the grave & Sober Magician take notis,
that Consideration be first had, of what Angel, or Intelligence, or what spirit, & of what Order, &
office, he would move or call forth; & so in particular to make Mention thereof accordingly, &
not otherwise, whereunto Everything ought by Orders, natures, Degrees, & offices, properly to
be Referred.

These references to the days of Creation are the only substantial variations, apart from the various names of the
hierarchies, between the “Celestial Keys.”
The citations themselves may derive in part from the planetary conjurations of the Heptameron, but vary with them
on some points and in general have been much elaborated: what is derived from that source are the divine names by
which God said in the “Keys” to have “sealed” the work of each day. In the Heptameron they generally appeared at the
end of a string of names or titles of God, or apparent barbarous words, near the start of each conjuration, thus:

This name is unreadable in the images of S5 I’m working from: I thus use the orthography from S6, which is also
the same form in which the name appears in the conjuration of Monday in the Heptameron, the immediate source for
all those names in the “week of Creation” sections of the Keys. The last element appears as “Jeja” in “Celestial
Confirmations.” Using ‘j’ for consonantal ‘i’ in mostly English texts can lead to further corruption as it can then get
taken for the English soft ‘g’ sound: in the S5 “Tenth Key” in the name was turned into “Marinata Abim Iega.”

Issim or Ischim (‫אישיםם‬, also appears as ‫ )ישיםם‬is more commonly the name of a class of Angels associated with
Malkuth (Agrippa, deriving from Reuchlin, De Arte Cabalistica) or Yesod (777 col. LXXXVI, deriving from Kabbala
Denudata tom. I part iv fig. xvi (M), probably via Golden Dawn teachings). The name of God associated with Malkuth
in Agrippa’s scale of the number 10 is Adonai Melekh, ‫אדני מלך‬.
217
Possibly an abbreviation for “Substitute name,” i.e., “here insert the name of some particular Angel of this sphere
that you want to pester.”
104 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

218
From “The true knowledge of knitting together” to here is adapted from the description of the offers of the Angels
of the Lesser Angels of the Table of Earth in Clavicula Tabularum Enochi, in turn adapted from passages in T&FR pp.
179 & 181.
219
Probably a garbling of Madzilodarp (“God of stretch-forth-and-conquer”), a name appearing in one of Dee’s Claves
Angelicæ (also appearing, spelt correctly, in a conjuration in Sloane MS. 3824).
220
As an apparent name of God, this, at least with that orthography, is rare in magical texts: the only other citations of
it I have seen are in the conjurations of the planetary Intelligences in “A Select Treatise as it was first discovered to the
Egyptian Magi” (included later in this collection), and on a modern ritual for the Intelligences demonstrably deriving
from “A Select Treatise.”

Ierescue and Mitraton are mentioned as the Western Angels of Wednesday in the Heptameron, where they have no

The Chaioth ha-Qadosh (‫ )חיות הקדש‬are more normally associated with the first sphere. They are not cited in the

108 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

Appendix: Two fragments or drafts.


[The following passages appear on a single torn leaf that was inserted into a MS. book containing an
unrelated collection of treasure-hunting processes and spirit-summoning “experiments,” prior to the latter in
turn being bound up with other materials, either by Ashmole, Sommers or another owner, forming what is
now Sloane MS. 3824. They are in different handwriting to both the S5 Janua and both versions of the
“Tenth Key”: this, indeed, is likely the hand of the original author / redactor of the Janua.

The first passage (S4 fol. 109r) is crossed out and appears to be a draft or variant of one on S5 fol. 31v. Some
letters are lost due to blotting: these are restored in double square brackets by cross-referencing with S5 and
OOP: it is adapted from OOP book III, chap. 17, “Of these [scil. “Intelligences and Spirits”] according to the
opinion of the Theologians.”]

The Theologicall Construction of Angels & Spirits, &c.


There are nine Orders of Angels, thus nominated and Distinguished in their severall and
respective Hierarchies & Offices. (viz.),

Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Potestates, Vertues, Principality, Archangels, Angels.

The Superiour Hierarchies are Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, and these are Supercelestiall Angels,
contemplating the Order of the Divine Providence; the first in the Goodness of God; the second
in the Essence of God, (as the form), the third in the Wisdome of God.

The middle Hierarchy are Dominations, Vertues, Potestates; these Angels concur to the
Government of the World. The first of these command that which the others execute. The
second are Ministers to the Heavens, and somet⟦imes⟧ to the working of Miracles. The third
drives away those things which ⟦se⟧em to be able to disturb the Divine Law.

The Inferiour Hierarchy are Principallities, Archanges, Angels: these as ministering Spirits
descend to take care of Inferiour th⟦ings⟧. The first of these take care of publik things, of
Princes, Magistrates, Provinces and Kingdomes. Daniel cap. 10 v. 13. Ecclesiasticus,
Apocriph:226 Deut.227 The second are present at Sacred Dutys, and direct the Divine Worship
about every Man, and Offers up his Prayers & Sacrifices ⟦…⟧228

A space in the MS., probably left by the writer intending to fill in later after looking up the chapter / verse (Sirach
xvii, 17).

JANUA MAGICA RESERATA 109
[The following untitled passage about evil spirits occurs on fol. 109v, and does not correspond directly to
anything in the S5 Janua. Some letters are lost at the torn right edge. To make this clear, I here reproduce
line breaks from the MS. A capital ‘A’ appears in the left margin by the start of the text.]

There are a kind of Spirits Subterranean and obscure, which are the Ang⟦els⟧
that failed, Revengers of Wickednes, according to the Decrees of the Divine Ju⟦stice,⟧
and they are evill Angels, and wicked Spirits; because: many times they
annoy and hurt even of their own accords, and there are Legions of them, ⟦…⟧
they are likewise distinguished according to the Names of the Stars, Elemen⟦ts⟧
and parts of the World. Of these, four most mischievous Kings do gover⟦n⟧
and bear rule over the other; according to the four parts of the World,
under whom are many moure Princes and Governours of Legions governing ⟦…⟧
and many more of private Offices. These kind of Spirits inhabit a place
either very nigh ⟦to t⟧he229 Earth, or within the Earth it self: There is no ⟦…⟧
mischief which they dare not commit (if God give them leave.) Their Customs ar⟦e⟧
altogether violent and hurtfull, and they plot, and contrieve, & endeavour230 sudd⟦en⟧
michiefs and Disasters. And when they make any Incursions, sometimes the⟦y⟧
lye hid, and sometimes doe offer open violence. They are very much
delighted in all things done wickedly and Contentiously.
[The text ends just above the torn bottom edge, with a horizontal rule below the paragraph. Two heavy
diagonal strokes are visible at the cut-off, suggesting that whatever was on the missing part of the page was
cancelled prior to the page being torn. It is adapted from the final section of OOP Book III, ch. 16 (pp. 393-
394):

“[…] under these [scil., good Angels] they [“the latter Theologians”] place a kind of spirits,
subterrany or obscure, which the Platonists call Angels that failed,231 revengers of wickedness, and
ungodliness, according to the decree of the Divine justice, and they call them evill Angels and
wicked spirits,232 because they oft annoy and hurt even of their own accords; of these also they
reckon more legions, and in like manner distinguishing them according to the names of the Stars
and Elements, and parts of the world, they do place over them Kings, Princes and Rulers and the
names of them; of these, four most mischeivous Kings do rule over the other, according to the four
parts of the world; under these many more Princes of Legions govern, and also many of private
offices. Hence the Gorgones, Statenocte, the furies. Hence Tisephone, Alecto, Megæra, Cerberus: They
of this kind of spirits, Porphyry saith, inhabite a place nigh to the earth, yea within the earth it self;
there is no mischief, which they dare not commit; they have altogether a violent and hurtfull
custome, therefore they very much plot and endeavor violent and sudden mischiefs; and when they
make incursions, sometimes they are wont to lie hide, but sometimes to offer open violence, and are
very much delighted in all things done wickedly and contentiously.”

As already remarked, the compiler of the Janua universally omitted Agrippa’s reference to authorities,
whether Christian theologians or later Platonists, that were not the Bible.]

CLAVICVLA
TABVLARVM
ENOCHI
This treatise on the Angels of the “Tables of Enoch” is extant in two copies, in BL Sloane MSS. 307 and 3821. The
latter copy lacks the elaborate letter-table from which all the names are drawn, and contains many copyist errors and
corrections, suggesting that, even if not directly made from Sloane 307, it is further down the stemma.233

The letter-table, the general system, and much of the text in the preliminary matter, are drawn from the Spirit Diaries
of John Dee and Edward Kelly, specifically the portions that survives as BL Cotton Appendix XLVI parts i & ii, an
inaccurate typeset of which was published in 1659 as A True & Faithful Relation of what passed for many Yeers between
Dr. John Dee […] and some Spirits (henceforth T&FR), edited and with a hostile preface by Meric Casaubon. Since the
MS. copies of the treatise perpetuate numerous printing errors in T&FR, specifically in the table of letters (some of
which derive from the compositor’s attempting to set Roman letters written backwards in type rather than from
misreading a hastily or carelessly written MS.), and the rules by which certain names are drawn from the table differ
from those used in Dee’s own MS. book of conjurations for the same set of angels (BL Sloane MS. 3191 fol. 52v-80v),
the work demonstrably depends on, and thus post-dates, Casaubon’s publication: and if—as is likely—it is of common
authorship with the Janua Magica Reserata, which (as already noted) contains extensive borrowing from the Cotton
Appendix spirit diaries, this would also provide a terminus a quo of 1659 for that, too.

The title (literally, “little key to the Tables of Enoch”) appears in Sloane MS. 307,234 and was adopted by the Golden
Dawn for a slightly edited version of the preliminary section (fol. 2-27 in the Sloane 3821 copy) that was circulated as
R.R. et A.C. Book “H.”235 In Sloane MS. 3821 the work has no overall title: it is described as “The practice of the

233
I used S1 as my copy-text for the simple reason it was the only one I could readily get images of. A copy of some of the
invocations (18th century) is also in Bodleian MS. Rawlinson D. 1067, and one of the prayers appears in Rawlinson D. 1363 (17th
cent.). A complete or partial copy of this work (comprising, at the very least, the introduction and “Practice of the Tables”
invocations) was in the possession of Thomas Britton (1644-1714), the London charcoal merchant and host / promoter of music
concerts, and was sold along with other magical MSS. and ritual paraphernalia at an auction in 1694: see Godwin, Theosophical
Enlightenment, pp. 93-4. It is possible that this copy was the MS. now known as Sloane 307; Hans Sloane purchased a significant part
of the remainder of Britton’s collection in 1714.
234
Sloane 307 was for a time miscatalogued as “Clavicula Salomonis”; see for example Ayscough, A Catalogue of the Manuscripts
preserved in the British Museum (1782), vol. ii p. 876 where it is listed as “Clavicula (Anglice)” under “Solomon.”
235
It was omitted from the main published collections of Golden Dawn instructions due to their editor, F.I. Regardie, deeming it “an
inferior piece of work” and its instruction “definitely unsound from a spiritual viewpoint.” From a historical viewpoint, besides being
one of the most extensive and elaborate known records of how seventeenth-century English magicians worked with the material in
T&FR, it also forms an important intermediate stage in the development of the system known as “Golden Dawn Enochian Magic.”
A copy of “H” (omitting the preliminary section with the myth of the Fall) was printed in The Seventh Ray, the journal of the
Church of Hermetic Science, in 1999 and has been in Internet circulation for some years; another copy, said to derive from an edition
circulated in the Alpha et Omega under Moina Mathers in the early 1920s, with parallel passages from T&FR and additional
commentary by S.L. Mathers, was more recently (2008 according to the date-stamp on the PDF) placed online by the “Sodalitatis
Rosae+Crucis & Solis Alati,” a G.D.-influenced occultist society. In 1993, a transcription of the introduction and “Practice of the
Tables” invocations from Sloane 3821, with a German translation, was printed in Henoch Iadnah Mad: Das Wissen der Götter by Ralf
Löffler.

Tables” in the contents list and thence in some catalogues, but this is an interpolation by a later hand (probably Hans
Sloane’s librarian) and is drawn from internal section headings in the work, which refer to some of the invocations as
“The Practice of the East Table” and so forth.

Despite the introductory passage referring to “the Angelicall & Cœlestiall Language,” none of the “Angelic” language
from Dee’s Claves Angelicæ236 is used anywhere in the text (except in so far as Idoigo, one of the ruling names of the first
lesser angle of the first quadrangle of the table, also appears in one of the Keys, glossed “him that sitteth on the holy
throne”) although phrasing from the English of the Claves appears in the conjurations.

236
S9 fol. 1r-13r. These “Keys” are a set of invocations in a previously unknown “Angelic” language (called “Enochian” by modern
occultists) with an intralineal English translation. In T&FR the Angelic and English text is, with a few exceptions, not collated
together, which would have made working out the meaning of any individual words non-straightforward, though not impossible. It
is further entirely possible that some magicians / writers & redactors of magical texts in the 1670s & 80s, if they were also friends or
associates of Elias Ashmole, were able to study the Claves manuscript or Ashmole’s copy of it (now Sloane MS. 3678). The only
example of any “Angelic” words appearing in 17th-century magical texts (leaving aside Sloane 3678) of which I am aware, are that
Madzilodarp, “in the God of stretch furth and Conquere” appears as a name of God in conjurations in S4, fol. 13v & 144r, and in the
corrupt form Magrilodarpe in a “tenth Key” added by a later hand at the end of the Janua (S5 fol. 96r).

The table is not reproduced identically as to layout from that in Sloane MS. 307 (it is completely omitted in S1
although the text refers back to it; possibly it was copied but was on a loose sheet or got detatched at some point).
Specifically:

 Rows of empty squares which appeared at the top of each quadrangle or Watchtower are omitted: these were
likely simply an error by the scribe in drawing the table grid.
 A column of numbers down the right edge of the table has been omitted: this appeared in the printed tables
in T&FR p. *15 and the MS. source,237 and in context was connected with a cipher message where each letter
was given as a number, representing a square of the tables laid out according to the “reformed” arrangement
(the same distribution of the four main quadrangles used here). These numbers were not included by Dee
when copying the “reformed” table into his book of supplications and invocations238 and are mentioned
nowhere in the work following.
 The letters in blue along the sides of each quadrangle are not part of the original table: they are added to
more clearly indicate how, in the system of this book, certain letters are prefixed to names drawn from the
quadrangles.
 In the MS, the italicised ‘L’ in the bottom right corner of the upper right angle was written reversed.

Further, ‘yl’ in the fifth row of the upper right angle, ‘Æ’ in the eighth row of the lower left and ‘Q’ in the bottom row
of the lower right are all errors originating with Casaubon’s typesetter attempting to approximate a reversed ‘N,’ ‘R’
and ‘P’ in typography: compare T&FR pp. 176-7 with C1 fol. 199r, 200r, 201r (the reversed ‘L’ was set as something
resembling a closing square bracket). The ‘i’ in the fourth square of the bottom row of the upper right angle is not
thus explicable, but in any case should be an ‘n’ and appears thus in all Table versions in the Dee MSS.; the ‘i’ at the end
of the second row of the lower right angle derives from the typesetter guessing what was written at a damaged point
in the MS., but is ‘a’ in all other copies of that table in the Dee MSS.

Capitalisation and u/v variations are conformed to a facsimile of the table from Sloane MS. 307 printed by Skinner &
Rankine in Practical Angel Magic, which exhibits many variations with the T&FR printing. In the Dee-Kelly system,
the capitalised letters denote the start of the names of the “Parts of the Earth,” to be read off the tables by means of
certain “Symmetrical Characters”; this aspect of the system is ignored in Clavicula Tabularum Enochi.

In my notes, I typically refer to the main quadrangles or divisions of the great table by the first three letters on the
horizontal line of each table’s central cross, thus “ORO,” “MPH,” “MOR” and “OIP.” The attribution of each angle to
one of the classical Elements is an invention of the Golden Dawn, and the attributions of two of them to directions
have been flipped in the present text compared to the Dee MSS. where MOR is referred to the South and OIP to the
North.

114 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

[Introduction.]
[2r]A Briefe Introduction, unfolding and Explaining, the use of the foregoing Table or Tables
of the Earth; as it Standeth divided, into four parts East, west, North, & South.

Man in his creation being made an Innocent, was also Authorized and made partaker, of the
power, presence, & spirit of god, and A Speaker of his Mysteryes, and the Society of his blessed
Angels, whereby he knew all things, under his creation, nameing them as they were: so that in
his Innocency, he became holy in the Sight of God, untill that Mighty Devill Choronzon,239 (for
so is his true name,) Envying his felicity, & perceiveing that the Substance of his Lesser part was
fraile & Imperfect, in Resepect of his pure Esse,240 began to assaile him, & so prevailed.

Then man, thus offending, became accursed in the sight of God, and so lost the garden of felicity
[the true judgment of his Understanding,] but not utterly the favor of God, and was driven
forth into the Earth; which, being accursed also, for his sake, was Covered with bryars &
brambles, and Such Like things, being little profitable to him for food, unless he daily Scratched
& tore his Skin of his back, to thrust through the thickets for a few plums, &c: or hazarding his
life, among the devouring Tygers & other wild beasts of prey, being a measuring Cast, which of
the two (in a probably sense,) should devour the Other. But this subject being learnedly handled
by [2v] Du Bartas,241 in his divine works, we shall say no more thereof. Now if Adam after his fall
had continued in the garden of Eden, his wickedness would have altered the Innocency of the
place; thereof is paradice distinguished from the Earth, in respect of her purity, because the Earth
is said, & knowne to be Corrupted, in Respect of mans Sinne. Yet although the Earth was
accursed, for Adams sake, by reason of his fall, the Garden of Eden, was not therefore accursed,
too, for that remaineth Still, where is was first Erected, & ordained by the mighty Creator, in the
Vale of Jehosaphat, wherein Liveth Eli, Enoch, and John: who shall never Dye, &c.

Adam, for his transgression, being cast out of paradise, & driven a great distance from thence,
into that depraved world, being there as dumb, & not able to speake (for during the time of his
being in paradice,) he spake the Angelicall & Cœlestiall Language, of which he also lost the
benefit, & was deprived of in his fall, and was never since heard of, or known to any, but some
such particular persons, whome God hath been pleased to permitt the same to be Revealed, by
the Converse, Society, and oft times familiar Community, between them and the Cœlestiall
Angels, he began of necessity to speake the Language, which we call Hebrew, yet not the same
[3r]Hebrew which is amongst us now, In which Language he Declared & Delivered, to his
posterity, the nearest Knowledge he had of God, his Creatures, & other his manifold & bountifull
mercyes, and justice: and from his own Selfe Devided his speech, into three parts, Viz t. twelve,

Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas (1544-1590), a 16th-century French poet whose epic La Seconde Semaine (the first
two “days” originally printed 1584) begins with an account of the state of humanity in the Garden of Eden (Day 1 part
i, “Eden”), continuing with the Fall (Day 1 part ii, “The Imposture”) and the unfortunate state of humanity ensuing
(Day 1 part iii, “The Furies”). His works received a number of English verse-translations that were repeatedly
reprinted over the first half of the 17th century, and are believed to have been an influence on Milton’s Paradise Lost.

three, & Seaven, the number whereof remaineth,242 but the true forms & pronounciations are
wanting, and therefore is not of that force & goodnesse, that it was Originally in its own Dignity,
much Lesse to be Compared, with that Angeliciall, & Cœlestiall Language, which Adam verily
speake, during his Innocency; & wherein by Divine permission, great Secrets & ⟨and⟩ Mysteryes,
have been Revealed, to severall holy pious, reserved & Studious men of Old, but we in this latter
age, being (in a manner) Ever deprived, of so great, & inestimable a Benefitt, and blessing as to
converse with Cœlestiall Angels: as not being worthy so to doe, and left also as depraved, in our
judgments and reasons, &c.: thus when Adam offended, he received punishment therefore,243 that
he was turned out into the Earth, for if he had been turned out into a blessed place, then it could
not be said that he was turned out, for he that is turned out, goeth to dishonour, (for god
knowing he would offend Knew also how to dishonour him,) so from Innocency, through his
fall, he was turned out to Corruption, into a prison, prepared [3v] for him before; Adam being
thus cast out, & the Earth cursed for his transgression, thereby bringing all misery, and
Wretchedness into the world, which also befell all posterity and shall Even so continue to the
End of time, for then did god Suffer & permit the spirit of malice, to Enter into & have power in
the world, and Ever Since, is perfect love taken away, from amongst men, who are alwayes at
variance, striving to weed & destroy one another, & so it must be, and will be to the End. And in
the same Instant that Adam was Expelled, and the Earth accursed for his Sake, yet the Infinite
mercyes of God, were such, that he Also put a restraint to the wicked spirits, that by there Envy
& malice, they should not quite Extinguish & Destroy the Admirable works of his creation,
neither by there Subtill temptations, and Illusions, for loe then said the Lord of Hosts, let the
world have its time, and let there be Keepers, watchmen & princes, placed over her, for years,
months, and days &c.

From hence it plainly appeareth, that the world was not Commited, to theire charge with there
creation, but afterwards in divers times & offices, both to god & man.244

Now we are to understand, that there are 4 Angels as Overseers thereof, whome the Eternall god
in his providence hath [4r] placed against the Usurping Blasphemy, misues & Stealth of the
wicked, and great Enemy or Corruptor of man the Devill, to the End he being put out into the
Earth, & permitted to tempt, and ensnare245 the Sons of men, to all manner of Wickedness and
Disobedience to almighty god, there Creator & protector; yet this way as a Restriction, that his
Envious Will might be bridled, the Determinations of God fulfilled, as his Creatures Kept &

Angells permit, and what they winke at, the Evill spirit wasteth; and mostly when they thinke
themselves Assured, then they feel the Bitt. Thus doth god & the good Angells, put a Snaffle to
the wicked, Each one of these 4 Angells is a mighty prince, a mighty Angell of the Lord, and are
by him according to his divine Order, and Decree, as Cheife watchmen and Overseeres, set over
severall & Respective parts of the world, Vizt. East, west, north & South, (as under the Almighty)

the Beginning of the world, & to Every of them belong 4 Characters, being tokens of the
presence of the Son of god, by whome all things were made in Creation & are the naturall
markes of holiness, & unto which belong 4 Angells Severally & before Each one, of thes great [4v]
Angelicall, princes, is borne 3 Banners, wherein is displayed 3 great names of god,
Comprehending 3: 4 & five, which in all are twelve, & these Twelve, great names of God,
governe all Creatures upon Earth, both Visible & Invisible.246

Each one of these 4 great Angelicall princes, hath 5 presidentiall Angels, or guardian princes,
Attending him; under whome are Six Angells, calleds Seniors, which St. John remembereth
(whoe as there offices are &c.) to Judge the government of these mighty, Angelicall King &
fullfill the will of God, as it is written &c.

Under which Seniours are 4 presidentiall good Angels, who are Dispositors of the Commands of
those that are the Superior governours, of the four principall Angles,247 or Quarters, East, west,
north & South, over the which they are Severally, & Respectively Constituted, & set over, &c.

Under whome againe are many & numberless of Ayeriall, ministering Subservient Spirits, of
severall offices, both good and bad; all which shall be further Explained, in the opening &
Exemplyfying the following Tables, &c. [5r] which is as followth, Here we have 4 tables, or
Quadrangles, which are but one generall table, onely devided into 4 parts, East, west, north, &
South, In the Centre between these 4 Quadrangles, is another little table joined Cornerly to them
all, & Serveth to unite, Severall parts of them together, according as they are to be Diversly
referred, as shall be shewed hereafter, &c.

Each single Quadrangle table containeth, 12 Squares athwart, and 13 Downwards, the two
middle lines downwards, that are of Black Letters, Enclosed also within Black ruled lines, and the
middle line goeth athwart that againe, composed also of Black letters, Enclosed between two
black Rules Lines, and standing crosswise, in the middle of the two perpendicular or upright
Lines, make up the names of the mighty Angelicall King, & the names of God, displayed in the
regall Banner, borne before him, being the Armes of the Ensigne, and the names of six Angelicall
Seniors, governing in that Angle, or Quarter of the compass, which they are set over. In Every
lesser Angle of Every Quandrangular Table, standeth also blacke letters Enclosed within black
ruled lines crosswise, in form of a Crusifix thus †, out of which are collected, the names of God

words, Oro, Ibah, Aozpi, which are the 3 great names of god, borne in the 3 Banners or the
armes of the Ensignes, belonging to the great & mighty Angell, BATAIVA, King & governer of
the East Angle.

248
In the Dee spirit diaries the two seven-letter forms are not treated as interchangeable: Dee was told (T&FR p. 178)
to use one or other of the two letters in the centre to terminate the name, the first (A in this instance), comiter, the
second (H in this instance) in extremis Judiciis; i.e., they represent the double aspect of mercy and severity respectively.
For one of the four names, EDLPRNA on angle OIP, the two forms are identical.
118 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

The names of the Six Angelicall Seniors, ruling in the East Angle, under this great prince,
BATAIVA, which are thus collected, the sixth letter of the middle transvers or Cross line going
athwart, & the two upright Black lines is (A) and the letters from the right hand to the left
following it, as it were, backwards, are (b, i, o, r, o) which maketh the name of Abioro, & it is
the name of the first Angelicall Senior, made up of Six letters, and if the letter (H) which
followeth the letter (A) and is the Seaventh letter, of the said transverse line, be added to and set
before the other six letters, it Maketh the name Habioro and is [7r] the name of the said first
Angelicall Senior, comprehended of seaven letters.

Then take the aforesaid letter (A) againe, (being the Sixth letter, in the middle transverse black
line as aforesaid) & ascend upward, from thence to the top or uppermost letter, of the first upright
black line, and they are (A, a, o, x, a, i, f), making the word Aaoxaif, which is the name of the
Second Angelicall Senior.

Then againe take the letter (H) which is the seaventh letter, in the said Middle transverse black
line, from the left to the right, and Ascend from thence, to the uppermost letter in the second
perpendicular line, and the letters are (H, t, m, o, r, d, A) which maketh the word
Hetemorda,249 and is the name of the third Angelicall Senior.

Then againe take the letter (H) the seaventh in the middle, transverse line, from the left to the
Right, and the letters following, if forwards, and they are (H, a, o, z, p, i) which maketh the
word Haozpi & is the name of the fourth Angelicall [7v] Senior, composed of six letters, and if
the Letter (A) be added thereto, and set before the other Six letters, then if maketh the name
Ahaozpi, which is the name of the fourth Agelicall Senior, composed of seven letters.

Againe take the said letter (H) the Seaventh letter of the middle transverse line, and descend from
thence downwards, to the bottom or last letter in the second perpendicular line, and the letters ar
(H, i, p, o, t, g, a) making the word Hipotga, which is the name of the fifth Angelicall Senior.

And then againe, take the Letter (A) being the Sixth letter in the middle transverse line, from the
Left to the Right, and from thence also descend downwards, to the Lowermost letter in the first
upright line, which are these (A, u, T, o, T, a, r) which maketh the word Autotar, & is the
name of the Sixth & last Angeliciall Senior, ruling In the East Angle.

[8r]The name of this great Angelicall and Mighty Angell, or King of the East BataIva, upon
whom all the Angells and spirits of the four Lesser Angles, in the Quadrangle of the East attend
and give Obedience, calleth out the fore-recited Six Seniors, whose offices are to give Scientiam
Rerum Humanarum & judicium,250 according to the nature of their parts, as in the East after
one manner, In the west after another, and soe of ⟨of⟩ the rest, according to there severall
gubernations.

Here, and throughout this text, extra vowels have been inserted into the name as literally read off the tables in order
to make it pronounceable. These additions are not generally noted henceforth.

CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 119
Now for the sixteen Servient Angells, next in order under the six Angelicall Seniors, in this
Easterne Quadrangle, their names are to be Collected, & Composed, out of Each Lesser Angle,
Attendant on the greater Angle, thus: in the Upermost leser Angle, on the left hand of this
Quadrangular table, there is a small crosslike forme of black letters, whose perpendicular or
upright line, reacheth from the top of the said Lesser Angle, to the middle black transverse Line,
that goeth athwart that Quadrangle, and containeth six letters, from the top downwards, which
are (i, d, o, i, g, o) making [8v] the name Idoigo, the which is one name of God, which is used
to call forth the Subservient good Angells, who are Attendant next in Order, under those Sixteen
Angells, next Succeeding the Six Seniors, according to there graduation.

The transverse line going athwart that upright line in this leser Angle, being the uppermost line,
but one, is of five letters, & are these (A, r, d, z, a) making the name Ardza, which is another
name of God; now as the Benevolent Angells Serveing in this Said lesser Angle, under the
aforesaid Sixteen, are ruled by and called forth by this name, Idoigo, so by the name Ardza, they
doe what they are commanded; all which shall be further Explained, in exemplification, hereafter
following, in there proper places.

i This annexed Example is the forme of the black letters, as they stand crosswise,
a r d Z a in the Upermost lesser Angle, of the Quadrangle, over this lesser transverse, [9r]
o
and 4 red letters, which are (r, z, l, a), setting aside or leaving out the black
i
letter (i) standing in the middle between them, and it maketh the name urzla,251
g
o and this is the substance of the first of those sixteen Angells before spoken of,
bearing Rule, next under the Six Seniors in the East Quadrangle, then take
away the first of these red Letters, which is (r) and make it the last, & it maketh the name, zlar, or
Zodelar, (for z Extended is to be pronounced zod) which maketh the name of the Second of the
aforesaid Sixteene Angells,252 Againe make the first letter of the second name, which is (z), the
last of the third name, and the letters will be Larz, and it makes up the name Larzod which is the
name of the third of the sixteen Angells afforesaid, then againe by making the first of these 4,
letters of this last name, the last letter thereof, then will the letters be (a, r, z, l), which maketh the
name Arzel, and is the fourth of the aforesaid Sixteene Angells, and the last are the four superiour
Angells, bearing Rule under the Six Seniors, in this first Lesser Angle, Serveing to the [9v] greater
Easterne Quadrangle; and as to the names of these 4 Angells, and governing in this lesser Angle
Serveing to the greater Quadrangle, or East Quarter of the table, and thus collected, and gathered
together; Soe are the names of the Other twelve Angells set as governors, and Superiours, over
the 3 other lesser Angles, subservient to this Quadrangle.

251
The ‘u’ is prefixed to make RZLA pronounceable. This orthography appears in T&FR (Action of 1584.06.25, p. 180)
where the instruction was initially given. Putting the vowel after the ‘R’ might better distinguish RZLA from ERZLA
(vide infra), although it might result in the former sounding like ‘Rizla,’ a popular brand of cigarette rolling papers.
252
“Angells” was originally written, corrected to “Angles” sec. man., then corrected back to “Angells” in the second
hand.
120 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
As for Example, the second lesser succeeding Angle of this Easterne Quarterne,
i
is that on the Right hand above, next to this here above Explained, & hath in its
p a l a m
z
upright, or perpendicular black line these six letters (i, l, a, c, z, a) making the
c name Ilacza, which is also a great name of God; the transvers black line
z whereof hath these letters (p, a, l, a, m) which being sett together, as they are
a in the Quadrangular table, Stand as in this Annexed Exemplification is hereunto
affixed.
The four Red letters, over the black transverse line, of this Second lesser Angle of this Easterne
Quadrangle, (u, t, p, a) making the [10r] name Utpa, which is the name of the fifth of the
aforesaid sixteen Angells, and the first of the four superior Angells, sett over the Second lesser
Angle, and governing therin, next under the six Seniors.

Then as before, in the Example of the first lesser Angle, take away the first letter of these four, &
make it the last of the name, then it will be Tpau, which is the name of the Sixth of the Sixteene
Angells aforesaid, and the Second of the great Benevolent Angells, governing in this Second
lesser Angle.

Againe, take away the first letter of the second name, and make it the last, then it will be paut,
which is the name of the Seaventh formentioned Angells, and of the third, Benevolent great
Angells set over this Second lesser Angle.

Likewise, take away the first letter, of this last name, and make it the last, then it will make the
name Autep which is the name of the Eight of the fore-Recited sixteen Angells, and of the 4th,
governing Angell, set over the second lesser Angle.

The other Eight Angells names are to be Collected after the Same manner, out of the Other two
lesser Angles, serveing in the Eastern Quadrangle. That one the left hand, underneath, being the
third lesser Angle, successively next following to the Second, being that lesser Angle on the [10v]
Right hand above as is aforesaid, and that on the Right hand, underneath is the fourth, and last of the
lesser Angles, serveing to this Quarterly great Angle. Every of the aforesaid four Angles, whose
names, are thus gathered,253 out of every lesser Angle, of the greater Quadrangle wherein they are
contained, are great and Benevolent Angells, & bear Rule & governe over those Severall Angles,
successively, under whom also are Severall Benevolent Angells, but far more Inferiour in power, yet
of the same nature, as there Superiours are: under whome againe are many Angells and Spirits of
Various & different natures, both good & Badd, whose offices are also manifold & various, gradually
in there Orders, according as Divine Authority hath decreed and appointed, both as to good & bad
effects & purposes (as for Example) those Benevolent Angells whose offices are of physic, as they by
there temperance & Benevolence cure Diseases, and by their Splendidness and Cœlestiall Irradi-
ations, preserve the Elementall Vigour and Radicall humidity of things, to the prolongation of life &
health, according to the nature of there parts, &c: Soe the malevolent & Evill spirits, whose names
are Collected out of the same lesser Angle, from whence the good Angells names are gathered of
the aforesaid office, are opposite in nature to them, as to there Malignity and Envy to the [11v]
prosperity of things: for Instead of curing diseases, they bring them, in, and when permitted, by

253
“whose names are thus gathered” here repeated by copyist eye-skip, but cancelled.
CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 121
the Superiour powers, doe thereby Mortify, and destroy things; and by there more grosse, Evill,
Terestiall and poysonesse rayes, (being comparatively the same as the Ayeriall Vapours of the
Earth) weaken, Infect, mortifie and Destroy the Elementall Vigour & Radicall moisture of things:
soe that if there Envious will were not bridled and Restrained, nothing in this world could be
preserved; but of this matter, more shall be said & Explained in its proper place.

As for (Example) the names of Severall Benevolent Angells, subservient to those Superiour
Angells, Sett over and governing in Each lesser Angle in this Easterne Quadrangle, they are to be
Collected out of Each lesser Angle, as followeth.

c z n In the first lesser Angle of this Eastern Quadrangle, and under that black
s
T o T transverse line, are 4 lines of Red Letters, & leaving out the black letters in the
t
S i a s
middle upright line, going between them, doe stand in the lesser Angle of the
f m n d
Quadrangle, as in the annexed Example, is Represented, the first line whereof
[11v] hath these 4 letters, c, z, n, s, making the name cezodenes, which is the name of one
Inferiour Benevolent Angell, serveing in this first lesser Angle of the Eastern Quadrangle.

The next under that, the line hath these 4 letters T, o, t, t making the name Totet, which is a
name of an other subservient great Angell,serving in this said lesser Angle.
The third line hath these four letters s, i, a, s making the name Sias, which is the name of an
Other good Angell, Subervient, to this said lesser Angle.
The fourth & last line of this lesser, hath these 4 letters, F, m, n, d, making the name Efemende
which is the name of an Other Benevolent Angell subservient to this aforesaid lesser Angle in the
East Quadrangle.

The subservient good Angells ⟬of the 2d lesser Angle⟭254 thereof, are to be gathered out, in the
same manner as the former is exemplified, as thus: under the black transverse line of this 2 d lesser
Angle, are also 4 lines of red Letters, and leaving out the blacke Letters that stand betweene them,
in the middle upright line, doe stand, in this second lesser Angle, as in the Exemplification
hereunto annexed is set fourth.

o y u b [12r]The first line of which four red letters are these o, y, u, b, making the
p a o c name Oyube, which is the name of one Inferiour Benevolent Angell, serveing
r b n h
to this 2d lesser Angle, the next or second line hath these four Letters, p, d, o, c,
d i r i
which is another name of a Subservient good Angell, making the name pdoc.
The third line hath these for letters, (r, b, n, h) making the name urbeneh, which is the name of
another Benevolent Angell, serving to this lesser Angle. The fourth line hath these 4 letters (d, i,
r, i) making the name Diri, which is another name of a Benevolent Angell, Serving to this
Second lesser Angle.

The two other lesser Angles below these two here Explained, have also the like Subservient good
Angells attending them as these, whose names are also to be Collected thereout, after the same
manner as the former is: for there natures & offices, & the calling them forth to visible apparition and

254
Words apparently omitted by copyist eye-skip in S1.
122 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
verball Community, shall be shewed hereafter: and likewise of the malignant Evill Envious Spirits,
whose names are also to be Collected, out of Each particular Inferiour or lesser Angle, as they are
Severally & Respectively, Subject & Serving to the grater Quadrangle, how to gather there names,
and what there severall offices are &c: and [12v] the calling them forth, &c: together with matters of
Concernement, and some select Concequences; and also, what use is to be made of all in like
manner shall be set forth and explained hereafter, in there proper places, as shall follow in Method.

First as to the little table, standing in the Centre, between the four greater Quadrangles, & the
use thereof: it is called the table of Union, and sheweth how to join such particular letters as are
therein, to Severall particular names and letters, in Each of the leser Angles, contained in Every of
the greater Angles of the table in generall, for the Collecting & making up of other peculiar
names, for such proper, select, materiall & intricate purposes, as they are to be attributed and
Referred to Exemplification whereof followeth.

The first line containeth these letters e, x, a, r, p, serveth to bind the four lesser Angles, of the
East Quadrangle together.
The second line that hath these letters h, c, o, m, a, serveth to bind the 4 lesser Angles of the
second west Quadrangle together.

The third line hath these letters, n, a, n, t, a, which serveth to find the four lesser Angeles, of
[13r] the third, or north Quadrangle, together.

The fourth & last line have these letters, b, i, t, o, m, serveth also to bind the four lesser Angles,
of the 4th or South Quadrangle together, and note, the same that stretched from the left to the
right, must also stretch from the right to the left.255 Observe also that the Letter joining those
names, which may be put before the names of the four Angells, Sett over & governing in Each
one of Every particular lesser Angle, of the four greater Quadrangles, as well from the right to
the left, is the name of God, whereby those Angells are called & doe appeare, as for Example, the
first letter of the first line, of this little table of union is (e), the name of the first Angell, set over
the first Lesser Angle of the East Quadrangle, is Urzla, take away the letter (U) being the first
letter of the name,256 and put instead thereof, the said letter (e) and then the name will be Erzla,
which is the name of God, which governeth & calleth forth, the Angell Urzla, and also the other
three Angells, that are set over the first lesser Angle, of the East Quadrangle, the name of the first
Angell sett over the Second lesser Angle is Vtepa, then by adding the aforesaid letter (e) thereto
before it, the name will be Eutepa, [13v] which is the name of God, governing those four Angells,

255
The last clause makes no sense in this context, and demonstrates the garbling of the instruction concerning the
letters EXARP, HCOMA, NANTA, BITOM from the Dee diaries. The five by four arrangement of these letters is a tiny
marginal scrawl in the MS. (C1 fol. 206r), about the same height as two lines of the main text, and its purpose was to
clarify how the previously communicated letter-sequences LEXARPH, COMANAN and TABITOM were to be broken up
before writing them in a “black cross” to bind together the four main angles of the scheme: “the same that stretched
from the left to the right, must also stretch from the right to the left” refers to NANTA BITOM being duplicated, written
left to right between the upper right and lower right quadrangles, and right to left between the upper left and lower
left quadrangles: see for example BL Sloane MS. 3191 fol. 53v-54r. By putting the five-by-four arrangement centrally
in a break in the text (T&FR, p. 179) Casaubon’s typeset made it seem more important.
256
Strictly, the initial ‘U’ is not part of the name at all but was prefixed to make it pronounceable.
CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 123
set over the second lesser Angle, of the East Quadrangle, by which they are called forth & doe
appear.

The name of the first Angell sett over the third lesser Angle is cenbar, before which the aforesaid
letter (e) being added, maketh it Ecenbar, which is the name of God, governing these four
Angells, whereby they are called forth, and doe appear. Then againe the name of the first Angell,
set over the fourth lesser Angle, of this East Quadrangle is Xegezod, then by adding the said
letter (e) thereunto, before it, maketh it Exegezod, which is the name of God, that governeth, &
whereby these four Angells are called forth, and doe appear, and thus are gathered the four great
names of god, governing those Sixteene Angells bearing Rule, under the Six Angeliciall Seniors,
in this Easterne Quadrangle, and whereby they are called forth, and, doe appear, as aforesaid.

There257 are four letters left, of the first line of this said table of Union, which are x, a, r, p. [14r]
Every name sounding of 3 letters, beginning out of the first line, and out of these four letters, is
the name of a Devill, or Evill Angell, as well from the right as from the left. Excepting the line
containing the names, of Every the four Angells sett over & governing in Every lesser Angle, in
Each one of the four greater Quadrangles, which are the sixteen great benevolent Angells
mentioned next in power, under the Six Seniors in Each Quadrangle, severally & Respectively,
being the uppermost lines over Every transvers black line of the lesser Angles: they are not to be
made use of herein: for that they have no participation with the Evill spirits at all, in the least, &c.
As for example thus, the four lines (that are under the transverse black line, of the first lesser
Angle in the East Quadrangle) the names of the good Subservient Angells, are onely to be made
use of herein. The first letters are (c, z) then take the letter (x) in the table of union, and add it
before them, it will make up the name xcez, which is the name of an Evill Spirit. The two next
letters against c, z, on the Right hand, the other side of the upright black line, going between is
(n, s) making the word (nes) or Enes, then by adding the said letter (x) thereto before [14v] it, it
maketh it, xenes, which is another name of an Evill Spirit, and if the name xcez, be made
backwards from the right to the left, then it will be zedocxe, which is another name of an Evill
Spirit. So likewise if the name, xenes, be made backwards as aforesaid, then it will be Exes,258
which is the name also of a Devill. The next two letters below c, z, is T, o, and the next letter to
the letter (x) in the table of union is (a) which being added to the two said letters T, o, from the
left to the right, maketh the word A.T.O: but being added thereto from the right to the left, then
it will be Aot, which are the names also of an Evill spirit or Angells, of an Infernal, as well as of

257
S1: “Here.”
258
sic in S1. The account of how these three-letter names are derived is (appropriately enough) full of confusion. In
the Dee system, each row of servient squares has only one cacodemon, its name obtained by prefixing a letter from the
black cross to the two letters to the left side of the lesser angle’s small cross: thus in the first lesser angle of ORO, we
find Xcz, Ato, Rsi, Pfm (for the upper two lesser angles of ORO, the same letters will be prefixed as in the Clavicula
Tabularum Enochi system). This emphasises their nature as unbalanced forces. The present work gets more on each
row, first by taking the two letters to the right of the small cross and prefixing a “Table of Union” letter, thus Xns, Att,
Ras, Pnd, and then either (a) writing the first two three-letter names backwards, thus Zcx and Snx from cz(o)ns, or
(b) using the same two letter-pairs, read the other way, and prefixing the Table of Union letter, thus Aot and Att from
the line To(i)tt, Ris & Rsa from Si(a)as, Pmf and Pdn from fm(o)nd: the method arbitrarily changes after the first
example given.
124 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
an Ayeriall nature: the two next letters against T, o, and the right hand side of the upright black
line &c. are, T. t, the letter (a) being added thereto, before from the left to the right, maketh the
name Atet, and being added thereto from the right to the left, as it hapeneth, maketh also the
same name. The two first letters in the third line, under the black transverse line of this first
lesser Angle of the East Quadrangle, is (s, i), the third letter [15r] of the first line in the table of
Union (setting aside the letter e, being the first letter of the line which belongeth onely to the
Sixteene Angells, sett as governors, over these four lesser Angles, or rather of every the four lines
of red Letters, over Every the four black transverse lines in Each lesser Angle of this East
Quadrangle) and it is (r) but adding it to the two letters s, i, before from the left to the right,
maketh the name, Resi, but added thereto from the right to the left, maketh the name Ris, which
are the names likewise of two Evill Spirits: the two letters against (s, i) on the other side the black
upright lines, are a, s: the letter (r) added thereto, from the right to the left, maketh the name
Resa, but being added thereto, from the left to the right, maketh the name Ras. The first two
letters in the last of the four lines, under the Overthwart or transverse line aforesaid, of this first
Angle of the East Quadrangle, are f, m: the last letter in this first line of the table of union is (p)
which being added to the aforesaid two letters (f, m) from the left to the right, maketh the [15v]
name pefem, but if it be added thereto from the Right to the left, then it maketh the name
Pemef, which are also the names of 2 Evill Angells, or Devills, the other 2 letters against them in
the Other side of the black upright line, are (n, d) to which add the letter (p) before, from the left
to the right, and it maketh the name pend, but if the said letter (p) be added thereto, from the
right to the left, then it will make the name Peden, which are likewise the names of two Devills:
& thus are gathered the names of certain Evill spirits, which are likewise the names, Collected
after the same manner, out of all the other Angells,259 Respecitively in the table, saving only to
observe, that the first line in the table of union, belongeth to the first or East Quadrangle, the
second line thereof, to the second or west Quadrangle; the third line thereof belongeth to the
third or north Quadrangle, and the fourth line serveth to the fourth or south Quadrangle & the
first letters of Every line belong properly to the red line sett over Every of the lesser transverse, or
crosse black line, in Every lesser Angle. So, as there are four Quadrangular Tables in the [16r]
generall Table, so the first letter, of Every line of the table of union, belongeth to the first line of
Every lesser Angle, of that Quadrangle, unto which the line is referred, as is aforeshewed, in the
Explaination of the four Angells set over the first lesser Angle, of the East Quadrangle. The other
four letters in Each line, of the table of union, serveth to collect, joyne together, & make up
Severall names both of good & badd Angells,260 out of the four Subservient lines, which are the
Red lines, under the transverse black line, of Every lesser Angle, as hath been shewed in the
fourgoing Example. We will give you one Exemplification more, by which it will be sufficient,
to understand the whole table & that is thus: As to the third or North Quadrangle, the name of
the first Angell, sett over & governing in the first Angle thereof, is Boza, then taking the first
letter of the third line, in the table of union which is (n) and placing it before the name of the
said Angell, then it maketh the word, Enboza, which is the great name of God, that governeth,

259
sic, s.b. “Angles.”

names of evil spirits.

and by which these four great and Benevolent Angells are to be called forth, to Visible
Appearance.
The name of the first Angell sett over the 2d lesser [16v] Angle, serveing to the third or North
Quadrangle, is Phra, or Phara, then by adding the letter (n) thereto before the said name, then it
will be Enphra, or Enphara, which is the great name of God, that governeth those four Angells,
sett over the second lesser Angle, serveing to the third or North Quadrangle, & by which they
are called forth & doe appear. The name of the first Angell Set over the third lesser Angle,
serveing to this north Quadrangle, is Æoan, then, add the said letter (n) before it & make it
Næoan,261 which is the great name of God, that governeth those four Angells, set over that lesser
Angle, & whereby they are called forth & doe appear.
Then again the name of the first Angell, set over the fourth lesser Angle, serveing to this North
Quadrangle is Iaom, then by adding the letter (n) before it, maketh the word Niaom, which is
the great name of god, that governeth the four Angells, sett over this foruth leser Angle of the
third or north Quadrangle, and by which they are also called forth & so appear, & soe it is of the
rest.

The first letter of the line of the table of union, added before the name of the first Angell set over
[17r] Every four lesser Angles, serveing to the greater Quadrangle, wherein they are, maketh the
name of God, that governeth over Every of those said four Angells, set over Every said lesser
Angle, unto which Quadrangle first, second, third, or fourth, each line of the table of union, is
properly referred as aforesaid: the other four letters, of Each line of the table of union, serveth to
the four red lines, of four letters apeice, under the black crosse or transverse line, of Every lesser
Angle, and maketh up the names of severall Evill Angells, of a terrestiall & Infernall nature, that
are Composed & made up of three letters, by adding thereto the first, second, third, or fourth,
letter of the line of the table of union, being those four letters following the first; Every line of
the table containing five letters linear along, & four downwards; every first letter belonging
properly to the line placed over Every black transverse, or crosse line in Every lesser Angle, in
Each greater Quadrangle, & the other four letters, to the four Red lines, placed under the said
transverse black line successively, as they are Referred and to be joined one to an other thus, the
fourth line of the table of union, belongeth to the fourth or South Quadrangle, the first letter
thereof [17v] Appertaineth, to the first line thereof, being (B) that is of the first lesser angle; and
likewise the first line of the second, and so the first line of the third, & soe to the first line of the
fourth lesser Angles, serveing to this fourth, or South Quadrangle, being those lines, set over the
transverse black line, of each lesser Angle. The four letters following which are i, T, o, m,
belong to the four Red lines, under the transverse black line thereof, the first of which four letters
of union (and the second from the first) is (i) and belongeth to the first red line, under the

126 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
Angle, being the 1st of the 4 serveing, to the fourth and South Quadrangle: the use thereof is
partly explained, before.

Having briefly Explained how to collect the name [18r] of the great and mighty Angellicall King
of the East Quadrangle, and of the three great names of God borne in three banners before him,
and of the Six Seniors, and of the Sixteene Angells, next under theme, sett over Every lesser
Angle, serveing to this greater East Quadrangle, and of some good Angells, subservient to them,
under whom againe are many benevolent Angells, of Inferiour Orders. The Collecting of whose
names are omitted, being to tedious to Exemplify, since this which hath been already said before
is Sufficient, and also how to Collect the names of Severall Evill spirits, of terrestiall & Infernall
natures; now shall be shewed the method, how to Invocated & call them forth, to visible
appearance.

The three great names of God, Oro, Ibah, Aozpi, governeth the King of the East Angle,
whose name is BATAIVA: and this name BATAIVA, governeth the Six Seniors, and by which
they are called forth and doe appear. The name of God, Erzla, governeth the four Angells set
over the first lesser Angle of this East Quadrangle. The name of God Eutepa governeth the four
Angells, sett over the second lesser Angle of this East Quadrangle. the name of God Ecenbar,
governeth the four Angells, sett over the third lesser Angle of this East Quadrangle. the name of
God, Exgezod, governeth the four Angells, set over the fourth lesser Angle of this East
Quadrangle.

Then there is the middle black upright or perpendicular line, in this first lesser Angle, serveing to
the great [18v] Quadrangle of the East, the which hath these six letters, from the top downwards,
to the black line that goeth crosse the Quadrangle, i.d.o.i.g.o. making the name Idoigo, the
transverse or cross black line whereof, hath these letters a.r.d.z.a. making the name Ardza. the 4
Subservient Angells, that are under the transverse black line, of this said first lesser Angle, are
ruled by the name Idoigo, and thereby are called forth, and doe appeare; and by the name Ardza,
the doe what there are commanded. the like method is to be observed, of the other three lesser
Angles, of this East Quadrangle, &c.

Then for the second, or West Quadrangle, of the table, the three great names of God, displayed
in banners, and borne before the great Angell, and mighty King of this Second or West
Quadrangle: is to be collected out of the middle transverse black line that goeth Crosswise.
Athwart the Quadrangle, and to be composed of three, four & five letters, after the same manner
as is before taught in the first or East Quadrangle; and soe likewise of the other two succeeding
North, and South Quadrangles.

The three great and powerfull names of God, governing the mighty & Angelicall manarchy, of
the Second or West Quadrangle, whose name is RAAGIOS or RAAGIosel, are Empeh, Arsel,
Gaiol, and the Royall high name RAAGIosel, governeth the Six Seniors, and by which they are
called forth, and doe appeare. The name of God HeTaad, governeth the four Angells, set over
the first lesser Angle, of this Second or [19r] West Quadrangle, the name of the God HeTedim,
governeth the four Angells, sett over the second lesser Angle, of this second or West Quadrangle:
CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 127
the name of God, Hemagel, governeth the four Angells, sett over the third ⟨or⟩ lesser Angle of
this second, or West Quadrangle, The name of God, Henlarex, governeth the four Angells, sett
over the fourth, and last lesser Angle, of the second, and West Quadrangle, of the Table, & by
which names they are called forth, & doe Appeare.

Then there is the name of God Obegcoa, which are the six letters in the upright black line, of
the first lesser Angle, in this second and west Quadrangle, which name Ruleth, and calleth forth,
the four subsesrvient Angells, under the black transverse line, by the power whereof they doe
appeare.

Then in the transverse line, there is the word Aabeco,262 by the Efficacy whereof, the said 4
subservient Angells, doe what they are commanded.

The name of God: Nelapar, which are the six letters of the upright black line, Ruleth the four
Angells subservient, in this second lesser Angle, and by the power whereof, they are called forth,
and doe appeare.
And by the name of God, Omebb, the five letters in the transverse line, they doe what they are
Commanded.

Then there is the name of God Maladi, in the upright line of the third lesser Angle, by
[19v]
which the four Subservient Angells herein are called forth, and doe Appear.
Then there is the name of God, Olaad, in the transverse black line, whereby they doe what they
are commanded.
The name of God Iaaasdi, which are the six letters in the upright line of the fourth lesser Angle,
of this second and west Quadrangle, calleth forth the four subservient Angells in this Angle to
visible apparition.
And the name of God, ATAPA, which are the five letters of the black transverse line, powerfully
urgeth, and (as it were,) enforceth, or constraineth, them to doe what they are commanded.

After the same manner & method, are the other names of God, peculiarly & particularly to be
collected, out of the Subsequent North & South Quadrangles, by the virtue, power, and efficacy,
and at the nominating & pronounceing whereof, all the ministering Angells of light, Cœlestially
dignifyed, both Servient & Subservient, Even from the Superiour to the Inferiour orders, under
the great King, or Supreame head, and governour, of Every Respectively generall, or Quarterly
greater Angle, according to there Degrees and offices, are called forth, and moved to Visible
Appearance, and soe accordingly, to doe what they are commanded, as aforesaid, As for the Evill
spirits more of them hereafter.

It is said before, that the subservient Angells, whose [20r] names are collected, out of the four Red
lines, under the black transverse line, in every lesser Angle of the table, are next in order (as
Servients) under the Other Angells, whose names are collected out of the Red line, above the
black transverse line, in every lesser Angle of the table; under which said servients, are many
benevolent subservient inferiour to them; and under whome againe are many Legions of

128 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
Assisting Angells, more Inferiour to them in power and Authority, And likewise many legions of
spirits, more Inferiour againe to them, of severall natures & offices, both good & bad, as is
Originally decreed by providence, who settled all things, both Cœlestiall, Ayeriall, & terrestiall
gradation, to serve & Execute his commands, according to their orders, offices, natures,
government and degrees, wherein they are placed: and hence it is affirmed, that Ayeriall, &
Elementall Spirits, are of different & severall natures, according as they were263 constituted and
Appointed, in there severall and Respective offices, places & orders, by the first & Supreame
Decree of the highest, in the Observing & fullfilling his Decrees & commands, according to his
justice & mercy, and soe oftentimes are the Executioners of wrath, and Vengeance: yet
nevertheless, when God is gratiously pleased, to winke at and passé by our Wickedness, and so to
shew mercy, then they often times admonish, forewarn & watch over us, and defend us from
many dangers and perills, [20v] and are benevolent, and helpful, unto us, in any Respects,
according to their offices, and as our necessity requireth.

As to the Evill maliciouse spirits before mentioned, whose names are collected of 3 letters, by
joining thereunto one letter of the table of union, as hath been before Explained: they are thus to
be called forth. There names are collected out of those four Red lines, under the black transverse
line, in Every lesser Angle of the Table, and by joyning of one letter of the table of union, to two
of those letters in any line of those aforesaid lines of the lesser Angle, Either from the left to the
right, or from the Right to the left, they both serve, to one & the same purpose, being taken out
& placed, in such manner and order accordingly, as they are particularly referred, to their proper
places respectively, doe make the name of a Devill, as hath been treated of and shewed, by an
Example elsewhere before &c.

The calling them forth is one this wise, as for Example, in the first lesser Angle, of the East
Quadrangle, the upright black line thereof, from the top downwards, hath the name of God
Idoigo, which God calleth forth the subservient Angells of that Angle. In the Black transverse
line thereof, is the name of God Ardza, by which they doe what they are commanded: soe by the
name of God Idoigo backwards, and264 the [21r] malignant spirits, whose names are made of 3
letters, out of this the first lesser Angle of the East Quadrangle, to be called forth, and by the
name of God, Ardza backwards, they doe also what they are commanded, soe that the name
Ogiodi, causeth them to appeare, by the order of Idoigo, and by the name Azdra Backwards,
commandeth them by the like order, &c.

In the second lesser Angle, of this said East Quadrangle is in the Middle upright line thereof, the
name of God, Ilacza, which pronounced Backwards is Azcali, which name calleth forth the
Malignant spirits, whose names are collected of 3 letters out of it, and by the name Palam, which
is the name Malap265 Backwards, they doe what they are commanded.

The middle upright, black line of the third lesser Angle, hath the name of God Aiaoai, which
pronounced backwards is Iaoaia, and this calleth forth the Evill spirits, whose names are collected

263
“are” originally written, corrected to “were” sec. man.
264
sic in S1: s.b. “are”
265
The names have been switched, both here and in Sloane 307 (apud Skinner & Rankine): PALAM is the regular
reading of the crossbar name from this lesser angle, MALAP the reversed form to command the cacodemons.
CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 129
of 3 letters, of this Angle; the transverse line, whereof, hath the name of God Oiiit; which being
pronounced backwards, maketh the name Tiiio, whereby they are constrained to Obedience &c.

The upright black line of the fourth lesser Angle of this said Quadrangle, hath this name of God,
Aourrz, [21v] which Backwards is Zrruoa, and calleth forth those Evill spirits, whose names are
made of 3 letters thereout.

The transverse black line thereof, hath this name of God Aloai, which Backwards, is Iaola,
which Constraineth them to doe, whatsoever they are commanded, &c.

The like Rule, and Method, is to be observed, in the other three Quadrangles, of the generall
table, their offices shall be spoken of by & by, so that for the calling forth of any Angell, or spirit,
Either good or Badd, and for there yeilding obedience to doe what they are commanded, the
prepetition of those names of God Respectively, unto which they are diversly, and severally
referred, and by which they are governed is sufficient.

The names of God, that call forth the Subservient Angells, of Each lesser Angle, of the great
Quadrangles, call forth the Evill spirits, whose names are made of three letters, if it be
pronounced Backwards, for unto them soe he is a God &c.

Now as to the generall use, and signifycation of the Tables, and the offices of the Angells, &c: &
other Remarkable observations &c.; these tables (or Table) containe all humane Knowledge: they
stretch to the Knowledge of Solomon, for out of it springeth physic, the Knowing, finding & use
of mettles, the vertues of them, the Congelations and vertues of stones (they are all of one [23r]266

[This whole section is very confusingly set out in S1, and going on the 2004 typeset is not much more coherent in
Sloane 307. In an insert sheet which now forms fol. 22 of S1 (transcribed in an appendix), Elias Ashmole made another
attempt to tabulate the offices of the Angels. The whole scheme, in any case, derives from T&FR pp. 179-181.

The main points are these: (a) The offices of the Angels are quadruplicated across the main quadrangles or Watch-
towers: i.e., the angels of the upper left lesser angles of the east, west, north and south angles all have the same offices,
and so for the others. (b) The angels whose names are drawn from squares above the crossbars of the small crosses (e.g.
Rzla, Zlar, Larz, Arzl under Erzla) have different offices from those whose names are drawn from the squares below
the crossbar in the same lesser angle (e.g. Czns, Tott, Sias, Fmnd under Idoigo & Ardza), thus:

Angels above the crosses:


Lesser angle Office
1 (upper left). “Conjoining and knitting together of natures.”
2 (upper right). “Carrying from place to place”
3 (lower left). “All Hand-crafts, or Arts”
4 (lower right). “Herein may you finde the secrets of Kings, and so unto the lowest degrees.”
Angels below the crosses:
1 (upper left). “Physick” (medicine)
2 (upper right). “Metals”
3 (lower left). “Transformation”
4 (lower right). “Those creatures that live in the four Elements […] The first Angel the Aire. The second Angel
the water. The third Angel the earth. The fourth Angel, the life, or fire of things that live.”
(c) The evil spirits with 3-letter names have a function that is generally an inversion or perversion of that of the
servient angels of the same lesser angle: for example, those of the upper left lesser angles, corresponding to the angels of
“Physick” (medicine) “send sicknesse”; those of the upper right lesser angles, corresponding to the angels of metals,
“can give money coined, in Gold or Silver […] they have nothing to do with the natural Mines of the Earth, but with
that which is corrupted with man.”]

268
A marginal note in Ashmole’s hand at this point adds “whatsoever that are incident to humaine bodies.”
CLAVICULA TABULARUM ENOCHI 131
[23v]By these tables may be known, the secrett Treasures of the waters, and the unknown caves
of the Earth, &c.269 As for Example the subservient Angells, in the second lesser Angle, of every
greater Quadrangle, and also all the ministering Servient Angells under them, give the
Knowledge & fiding out the use of mettalls, &c. The benevolent Angells of that order, will offer
the passages of the Earth unto the Enterance of the senses of man (cheifly of Seeing) soe that the
Earthlying opened unto there Eyes, by the benevolent Assistance of the Angells of light, they
may plainely see & discover, what treasures are in the Earth, both as to the naturall mines of the
Earth, and all manner of treasures trove, and the Angells aforesaid are Ministers for this purpose.

Treasure trove or such Treasures of the Earth, that is, Coyne, and that hath beene heretofore in
mans possession, is in the power of the Evill spirits whose names are made of three Letters, and
they can give the same to man, &c.

But as for the naturall mines of the Earth, they have nothing to do therewith, nor have any
power over it at all, these Treasures belong properly to the Benevolent subservient Angells, who
are found in every second lesser Angle of each Quadrangle, who (as I said before) can lay the
caves of the Earth open to the Eyes of man &c., where he may see the Treasures [24r] of the Earth,
as they are therein contained, in and according to there severall and respective natures, and
properties, which being known to him, then hath he the Benevolent Assistance, both of the good
& the badd Angells, to serve his necessityes therewith, according to the nature of their parts, &
offices, as to which they are concerned & properly referred, and have power over &c.

The natures and offices of the Evill Spirits aforesaid, are quite contrary to those of the good
Angells, as thus, the good Angells, belonging to physick, they cure diseases, preserve the
Elemetnall vigor and humid Radicals of things naturall, on the contrary the Evill Spirits,
maliciously, bring in diseases, and seek to destroy the Elementall vigor & strength of naturall
things, &c., the practice of all shall be shewed hereafter, particularly in a treatis by it selfe.
Having briefly shewed by an Example, of the first, & East Quadrangle of the table, how to collect
the name of the great Angell thereof, or the mighty Angelicall monarch, bearing Rule, and
governing the East part of point of the compass, Angle, or Quarter, both Cœlestially &
terrestiallyy; and of the Six Seniours, and of many other of the governing and Subservient
Angells, and there natures, and offices, both good & bad, together with the use of all, &c.

The Right understanding whereof is a Sufficient president for unfolding the other three greater
Angles, or Quarters of the Table.
The uses of which Severally are the same as in this, for the names of there princes, and the great
names of God, by which they are governed, & unto which they are subject and [24v] Obedient,
which are the armes of the Ensigns or Banners borne before them.

The names of the Seniors, and the Angells governing & sett over, every lesser Angle, of each
greater Quadrangle, and the names of God, governing, calling forth, & commanding, and of the
subservient benevolent Angells officiating againe under them, and the names of God

132 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
commanding, calling forth, and constraining them, and of many Legions of others both good &
bad, are to be gathered & collected thereout after the selfe same method, as is shewed in the
Explaining the East Quadrangle, and the offices also of all the Angells, comprehended, in the
greater East Angle even from the Superiour Monarch, to the most Inferiour Subservient, are the
same, as in this greater East Angle, soe in the other three greater Angles Respectively, viz t., the
offices & natures of the King, and the Six Seniors, are one & the same alike, in all the four
Quadrangles, of the Table, soe also are the offices & the natures, of all the Angells, both
governing & subservient in all the lesser Angles, serveing to the East Quadrangle. As the first
lesser Angle of this East Quadrangle, is of physic, and compriseth the whole body thereof, in all
its parts, soe doth the first lesser Angle, in the second Quadrangle, the like. And the first lesser
Angle of the third Quadrangle, And the first lesser Angle of the fourth Quadrangle, the same
likewise, soe the Angells of the Second lesser Angle of the East Quadrangle, and270 of [25r] the
same nature and office, as are the other three lesser Angles, serveing to the three great
Quadrangles, & also the third & forth lesser Angles of the west, north & south Quadrangles, are
of the same nature and office, as the third and fourth lesser Angles of the East Quadrangle, and
Every way hath the same signification, only they differ in this particular, that some are East, some
west, some north & some South. A due concideration therefore ought to be had, and carefully
taken, in calling them, always observing to Invocate from such a point of the compasse, or Quire
of Heaven, where there power & abode is &c. And all other such concernes herein, as is
Requisite thereto, ought likewise to be directed to this, or that, or such & such a Quarter or
Angle, E. W. N. or S. unto which they properly appertaine and are proplery referred, &c. And
withal is to be understood, that the other letters of the Table thus to be collected (as aforesaid)
should seeme hard to be pronounced, for want of vowels, to sound & make out Each Syllable, as
to the pronouncing of a name proper yet observing to pronounce Every letter distinctly as if it
had a Vowell, going before, or following it, then it sounds well Enough,271 and the reason of this
strange kind of difference in our common Orthography is, that there is not a letter nor part of a
letter, but is numbered, and hath the same signification &c.: as for the practice of it thus.
Lett the Phylosopher prepare a Booke of very fine [25v] paper or parchment, and write very fairly
therein, as shall be here directed &c: and also a handsome convenient Chamber, or place for
practice.
Which booke must consist, first of the Invocations of the names of God, and secondly of the
Angells by the names of God, &c. As for Example, In the black transverse line, that goeth
athwart the East Quadrangle, there are these three great names of God, thus Oro, Ibah, Aozpi,
So , likewise in the Second or West Quadrangle, thus Empeh, Arsel, Gaiol. In the 3d or North
Quadrangle they are Emor, Dial, Hectega, and soe in the fourth, or South Quadrangle, Oip,
Teaa, Pedoce. Four days after the Book is written, the Magick Phylosopher must onely call
upon the names of God, or rather, on the god of hosts, from the four Angles or Quarter points of
the compass, East, West, North & South.

And fourteen Dayes after, he shall Invocate the Angells by petition, and by the names of god, to
which they are obedient, from the Angles or Mansions where they Reside, and dwell, East, West,
North & South, as they are to be found in the Table, &c.

The fifteenth day, he shall cloath himself In a vesture made of white linnen, and so have the
Apparition, use & practice, of the spirituall Creatures, [26r] which when he hath attained to (as no
doubt but he may), he may be so Expert in the practicall part hereof, that he need not make use
of the linnen vesture after, nor the booke, nor to be confined to any such observations and
curiosityes, of places or otherwise, as was formerly Commanded, as to the Entrance into the
knowledge and practice of this art, in attaining to the society, converse, & use of the spirituall
creatures: for if the Philosopher can in his fifteen days Retirement & Reservation, but retaine and
Remember the names of the Angells, and the names of God, by which they are called forth,
appear and doe what they are commanded, he may call upon them, converse with them, and
make use of them (according to there natures & offices) without either Vestment or Booke or
choice place, but wheresoever and howsoever he will, or wheresoever he shall happen to be, &c.

For the calls, Invocations, Invitations or petitions to be used herein, and that are to be curiously
written in a select booke, to be made & provided for that purpose, according as is before
Expresses, is to be but a short and breife speech, in verbis conceptis, as the mind shall prompt or
direct, observing the Angle or point of the compass wherever he shall be, in Respect of the poles
&c.272 And one thing a little Extraordinary take notis of by the way: and that is this, understand
that the natures and offices of the Subservient Angells, of every second lesser Angle, of Each
greater Quadrangle of the Table, is [26v] the finding, knowledge and use of mettalls to gather
them together &c. This is meant as to the naturall mines of the Earth, for they give noe mony
coyned, which is such as hath been in use amongst men, and by them despitefully hidden from
posterity, and commonly termed Treasure Trove or hidden Treasure &c. and also as is said else
where before, will lay the the passages of the Earth, and the secret caves of the hills open, visibly
to the sight of our Eyes, that wee may see & know what is inclosed and contained in the bowells
thereof, and to instruct us in the use of mettalls, in all there parts, and to serve our necessityes,
with such of them as they have power over, and can command, which are such as have not beene
(accomplished) amongst men nor corrupted by them &c.

On the contrary the Evill Angells, which names consist of three letters and that are collected out
of the said Angells, have noe power over the naturall mines of the Earth, nor have nothing to doe
therewithy, but they doe keepe from the discovery and use of man, all such Treasures of gold and
silver &c. As hath been formerly in use amongst them, and (as is said) most despitefully hidden,
and absconded from them in the Bowells of the Earth, and is called Treasure Trove or [27r]
Hidden Treasures and these sorts of Treasures the good Angells have nothing to doe withal,
more then to lay them open to our sight, nor have noe power to serve our necessityes, otherwise

be commanded, or constrained, to serve our necessityes with them.

The calling them forth, as well as the calling forth the good Angells, and the moveing them to
Visible Appearance, and to constraine them to doe what they are commanded, is also shewed
before &c.

Understand also that when all this shall be layed open visibly to the sight of the Phylosopher, and
that he perceiveth and well knoweth that it is kept by a malignant spirit, and that it may probably
according to common apprehension prove hard or difficult to obtaine, and the philosopher
should be at a nonplus or at a stand, how to encounter with and discharge the keeper thereof
from it, so that he may peacably and without molestation or interruption, take away the same
end Enjoy it without any dread or feare of harme to him, or any of his companions (if he hath
any) or offence to God, or Injuriouse to the Souls health; or in any ways prejudiciall or contrary
to Religion, the Christian faith, or a good conscience &c.

Let him consider his glorification and power in his creation, and his souls dignifycation as man,
and how near he is the great Omnipotent Architype, as [27v] he is the very Image & Idea thereof,
and as he is monarch of the world, and commandeth all such malignant spirits too submission,
subjection and obedience, and he shall absolutely & possitively conclude, that they are but
Inferiour servants, and vile slaves, and unto whome he shall say, Arise, begone, thou art of
hinderance & destruction, and of the places of darkness, these are provided for the use of man,
thou art vanquished, thy time is shortened, and fully now expierece, therefore I say depart to thy
orders Jeovah Jeovaschah273 and loe I seale you to the End. Thus shall he use the malignant
spirits and keepers of Treasure Trove, and noe otherwise and they will, nay must obey and
immediately depart274 and thus breifly is layed open and explained, the use and meaning of the
Table containing the four Quadrangles East, West, North & South, which is sufficient, &c.275

273
“Jeovaschah” is probably meant for ‫יהושה‬, a variant Pentagrammaton, i.e. ‫ יהוה‬with a shin inserted before the final
‫ ה‬rather than in the middle, as in the well-known Cabalistic mis-spelling of the name of Joshua or Jesus.

This section, carried over in full into R.R. et A.C. Book “H,” was apparently F.I. Regardie’s major reason for
omitting “H” from the editions of Golden Dawn instructions he edited. In the original 1937 introduction to The
Golden Dawn (vol. i. p. 85), Regardie described “H” as “turgid and archaic […] practically a verbatim duplicate of part
of a lengthy manuscript to be found in the Manuscript Library of the British Museum, Sloane 307. A good deal of the
advice given is typically mediæval, and definitely unsound from a spiritual viewpoint, and is certainly not in accord
with the general lofty tenor of the remaining Order teachings. It explains how to find precious metals and hidden
treasures, and how to drive away the elemental guardians thereof. It is an inferior piece of work […]” It is unclear if
Regardie was aware just how much of that section was verbatim, paraphrased or expanded from the Dee spirit diaries
which are the fons et origo of the entire system (see especially T&FR p. 188, 189).
“[…] it would seem that the proximity to original Renaissance magic, with all its mundane goals and functions
plainly in view, was what made Regardie react. As we have seen, the angel Ave told Dee that the letters of the Great
Table contained ‘all human knowledge,’ the names to call forth angels—but also demons—proficient in medicine,
which could cure or cause diseases, knowledge of the mines of the earth, demons proficient in coining, spirits offering
transportation to distant lands, and so on. These aims were what Regardie dismissed as ‘medieval’ and inferior.” —

As already remarked, the “Æ” is a spurious letter deriving from attempting to set a backwards “R” in typography: on
the “Ave” Great Table, the ruling angels of this lesser angle are ROAN, OANR, ANRO and NROA (on the “Raphael” table,
that entire row of MOR has been shifted along by one square resulting in a completely different set of names, to wit
OCNC, CNCO, NCOC and COCN).
295
In S1 the names of the Angels are not actually given at this point in the conjuration: but as the names are cited at the
equivalent point in all the other “Practice of the Tables” conjurations to the ruling angels of the lesser angles, I consider
the omission here to be a copyist error.

[57v] The Title of the Following Prayer


An Humble Supplication to Almighty God, by these his great, powerfull and Sacred names,
governing Every particular and Each Severall Respective Terrestiall Angle E. W. N. S., this
prayer being properly Referred to the East Angle, and by Changing the other names Governing
the other 3 Angles, in like manner and forme,311 The same prayer serveth accordingly (being so
distinguished) for the whole &c.: The which is to be said before Invocations made, for the
moveing and calling forth the Spirituall powers of those natures, orders and offices, as In the
foregoing Introduction hereuinto is is Specified, and shewne forth.312

The 3 sacred names over the East, Oro, Ibah, Aozpi.

Those 3 over the west, Empeh, Arsel, Gaiol.

Those 3 names over the north Emor, Dial, Hectega.

Those 3 names over the south Oip, Teaa, Pedoce.

O Thou omnipotent, Incomprehensible, Immortall and Eternall god of Hosts, Oro, Ibah, Aozpi,
who amongst the most great and wonderfull works of thy Creation, hast in thy boundless and
Inifinite wisdom distributed the Earth into four Angles or Quarters E. W. N. & S. And hast by
thy Divine Institution placed a most mighty Regall Angell, over Each particular Terrestiall Angle,
as King governer and princiapall [58r] watchman there over, to protect and defend thy servants
from the usurping Blasphemy, misues, Malice and Temptation of the wicked, and great Enimy of
thy Glory and the welfare of mankind the Divill and Spirits of Darkness, and who againe in thy
Omniscience hast constituted under Each particular mighty King, Six great Benevolent Angells
called Seniors or Sennators, to judge the government of Each Terrestiall Angle, and the king
thereof, who are mentioned by thy Servant St. John, in his sacred Treatis of his Revelations;
And under whom againe, in thine Infinite Wisdome, hast placed Sixteene Benevolent Angells to
be dispositers of the will of their Superiours, and under whom againe thou hast appointed, many
others, Even numberless of spirituall Creatures, according to thy primitive Decress, Determinate
to governe over, and to teach, Instruct, direct and shew forth unto the Sons of men, all arts,
Sciences, Mysteryes, mechanic crafts, and all things whatsoever that are upon the Earth, and all
the secrett inclosuers therein, who are all Ayeriall spirits by thee sett over this Terrestiall fabric
whereon we live, and not by thee Rejected but Dignyfied, whom thou hast in thine Infinite
gratiouse and paternall mercy preordained, to give Obedience to the will of man, when he seeth
them all whose names, Orders, offices and mansions are to be found in four Certaine Tables,
notes or Mysticall figures: The which were Revealed to the Knowledg of the Servants, and
Restored to them and Brought to Light out of Darkness and Oblivion, by the Ministery of thy
Cœlestiall Angell Ave, and by him declared to be the Knowled of thy Servant ENOCH, [58v]

The corresponding preliminary prayer in Dee’s digest (S9 fol. 58r) has a single form which cites all “12 Mystica
Nomina” together. And is rather shorter than this (~30 lines of text on a single quarto page).

unto whom it was delivered by the Revelation of thy holy Angell; Now therefore O most
gracious and mercyfull Lord God of Host Oro, Ibah, Aozpi, the onle Creator of heaven and
Earth, who by thy word alone hast most wonderfully and admirablely made all Creatures out of
nothing, and placed all things Comprehended in the marvellous worke of thy Creation,
according to thy unspeakable wisdom, in there severall and Respective Orders and offices, to
gloryfie and Extoll thy holy name, and fulfil thy divine will: O Thou who ⟨who⟩ art the true
fountain of Light and wisdom, I thy humble servant here Reverently and Obediently prostrate in
thy holyy feare in all Contrition of heart & meekness of spirit, doe humbly beseech thee of thy
Infinite goodness and Clemency, to have mercy and compassion upon me, and to dignifie me
with the power of thy holy Spirit, to forgive me my Sins, and so parson all my Iniquities, and
gratiously to grant that all those Benevolent Angells or Dignifyed Spirituall Creatures, whom
thou hast sett over the four Angles of the Earth E W N S, and preordained to governe over all
arts, Mysteryes, and Sciences, Mechanick crafts, and all Creatures there upon, and all things
whatsoever, that are Contained therein, may shew forth the same and thre true uses and Right
understanding both of the Natures and Secrett propertyes thereof, unto me thy humble servant,
whensoever I shall call them forth, and Invocate them thereunto, whose names and orders are
Contained and to be found in the foresaid Tables or mysticall figures, which were Revealed and
Rendered out of Oblivion, and Lately Restorted againe to Light unto thy Servants by the
ministery [59r] of thy Cœlestiall Angell Ave, and by him certainly veryfied to be the same which
was delivered to thy servant Enoch, Immediately from thy selfe, by the Revelation of thy holy
Angell, by whom thou didst converse with and Appeared unto him, & opened his Eyes that he
might see and judge the Earth, which thou permittest not unto his parents by reason of their fall,
wherein the holy Trinity determined saying Lett us shew unto ENOCH the use of the Earth,
and Loe Enoch was become wise, and full of the Spirit of wisdom, And he humbly prayed unto
thee saying, O Lord Lett there be Rememberance of this thy mercy, and Lett those that Love
thee Enjoy this benefit after mee, O Lett not thy mercyes be foregotten, and behold thou werrt
gratiously pleased.313 Now therefore O most bountifull and heavenly God of Wisdome and
mercy, Oro, Ibah, Aozpi, as the true Knowledge of the Earth and the Creatures thereof, and the
Secrett propertyes of all things therein, Even to the unknown Depth of the sea, and the most
private Internall and Obscure Caves of the Earth, was by the foresaid tables, Notes or Mysticall
figures, and the use of there presence thy gift, Delivered to thy servant Enoch, both Immediate
from thy selefe, and also by the ministery of thy sacred Cœlestiall Angells, And at his humble
Request to thee the use and benefit thereof permitted to continue amongst the Sons of men
succeeding him one Earth, in after Ages, that should love fear and Obey thee, which they

This passage regarding Enoch, from “Appeared unto him” is adapted from a speech in T&FR p. 174 (Action of
1584.06.25), during the original delivery of the Table of the Earth. The speaker is apparently Ave. The reference to
“the holy Trinity” though is due to the redactor: the T&FR text reads:
“The Lord appeared unto Enoch, and was mercifull unto him, opened his eyes, that he might see and judge the
earth¸which was unknown unto his Parents, by reason of their fall: for the Lord said, Let us shew unto Enoch the
use of the earth: And lo, Enoch was wise, and full of the spirit of wisdom. And he said unto the Lord, Let there be
remembrance of thy mercy, and let those that love thee taste of this after me: O let not thy mercy be forgotten.
And the Lord was pleased.”

Enjoyed till they Rebelled against thee, And become proude, wicked, Ingratefull, Ambitious and
presumptuous, wherefore they were as justly by the deprived againe of that Inestimable Jewell
and Divine gift, the Knowledge whereof and benefit then wearing away, and Ceasing to be any
more amongst men and so Remaining [59v] wholly unknowne to them till Lately (by thy
gratiouse permission) it was againe Revived, and Mercyfully Restored to Light by the ministery
of thy holy Angell Ave, unto thy servants. Now I beseech the, O thou Almight father of mercy
Oro: Ibah, Aozpi, let not thy promises made unto, nor the memory of thy servant ENOCH,
nor the use and benefit of the Knowledge thou gavest unto him be againe washed away, become
Void and Extinguished, but gratiously be pleased to grant unto me thy humble servant, the true
Knowledge & use of the Earth and the secrett propertyes thereof, and Enclosiers therein, by the
ministery, Assistance, Instructions of those Spirituall Creatures governing over and Subservient in
the four Tables, notes or Mistycall figures, whom I shall by name call forth, Even from the
Superior to the Inferiour Orders and Degrees; And I humbly beg of thee O heavenly god of All
Consolation and Compassion, Oro Ibah Aozpi, to dignifie me with thy Cœlestiall Dignity,
Open my Eyes and give me Sight, Open my Eares and give me hearing, Open my
Understanding and give me Knowledge, shewe me the light of they Countenance, and Endew
me with thy holy spirit, that by the vertue and power of ⟨of⟩ my Invocations, being composed
according to the Instructions of the Angell AVE I may Effectuall call forth all those Terrestiall
Dignified Spirituall powers of Light, both of the Superiour and Inferiour Orders and Degrees,
governing and Subservient in the Terrestiall Angle of the East, and all Creatures, Arts, Sciences
and Mysteryes thereof, and the Secrett propetyes and Enclosures, and at the utterance and
Repetition of thy Infallible and Secrett names therein specified, unto which they are severall and
Respectively [60r] Obedient and whereby (according to thy primitive Decress) they are
powerfully governed, they may fortwith, Immediately move, Descend, and appear visibly unto
me, at all times & In all places, whensoever and wheresoever, I shall call them forth, according as
nessessity shall Require their favourable & familiar Society, Community and Assistance, That it
may be your Wittness of thy promiss for ENOCHs sake, unto thy humble and obedient Servant.

adapted from the “Practice of the Tables” section: it begins with a prayer to God (not in S1 or S7; it was typeset by
Skinner and Rankine in Practical Angel Magic) “and ‘the regall invocation’ to an angel called Bataiua,” with the next

in T&FR and (b) using a different set of rules for prefixing letters to names drawn from the Tables.

The three-letter names of the cacodemons are not here tabulated as (a) the rules in the text for extracting them are
somewhat confused and (b) they are not actually cited in any of the conjurations.
258 INVOCATION OF ANGELS

Appendix: Enoch Prayer.


[This occupies fol. 190v-193r of Sloane MS. 3821 and is in the handwriting of Elias Ashmole. While not an
intergral part of Clavicula Tabularum Enochi, it has similar stylistic features to both that and the Janua, and a
substantial borrowing from T&FR embedded in it.409 It is preceded (fol. 188r-190r) by “Humble Suppli-
cations to Almighty God,” five pages of general Christian pieties of no great interest (save perhaps for
establishing the redactor’s preferred flavour of Official Christianity) also in Ashmole’s hand. I have inserted
paragraph breaks for clarity: there are none in the MS.]

[190v] O Almighty, Imortall, Immence, Incomprehensible, & most high God & Lord of Hosts,
Jehovah, the only Creator of Heaven & Earth, & all things conteyned therein, who in thy
wonderfull & great worke of the Creation, hast miraculously pointed out many Hierarchies of
sacred Cœlestiall Angells & blessed Intelligence, and placed them in a most admirable order above
the fiery Region; and also many other Hierarchies & Orders dignified, Elementall Ministring
spirits, or Angelicall powers of Light, under the same &c: and hast appointed them all to serve
thee, & obey thy commands, in every & each of their severall & respective places, natures, orders
& offices: & by thy gracious & divine permission, to move descend & visibly appeare, unto the
Sons of men dwelling on Earth, whensoever they shall Invocate or call them forth, to their
conduct, comfort & benifitt, O thou omnipotent & perpetuale full flowing fountain of eternall
lyfe, light, majesty, power, glory, goodness, clemency & paternall bountry, & of all wisdom &
true knowledge, both Cœlestiall & Terrestriall, descending by certain Rivolets of mercy,
immediately by the holy Ghost, unto more choice & peculiar vessels of honor, & by emanations
of divine Grace, mediately by the sacred Cœlestiall Angells or blessed Intelligences & the
ministering Angells, or spirituall Messager, [191r] and mediums of Light, not by thee rejected but
dignified,410 both Cœlestiall & Elementall, of severall & respective degrees, names, natures, orders
& offices, by whose Angelicall Inspiration & instruction, thou doest fatherly and freely, open the
secrets of thy owne selfe unto Man, thereby shewing forth, the mistery of true Science &
sapience, with the benefits & comforts, to be obteyned & received in mundaine affairs, &
temporall Concernes &c.

O most high God & father of heaven, thou knowest the foundation of our fragility, our
imperfections, & the darkeness & weakeness of our inward parte, how can we therefore speake
unto them, that speake not after the voice of Man; or worthily call on thy name,411 considering
that our imaginations is variable & fruiteless, & unknown to our selves: shall the Sands seeme to
invite the Mountaines, or can the small rivers, entertaine the wonderfull & unknowne waies,412
can the vesselles of feare, fragility, or that is of a determinate proportion, lyft up themselves,
heave up their hands, or gather the Sun into their Bosomes, O Lord it cannot be.
Our imaginations413 are great, we are less than sand; Lord thy good Angells excell us far, our
proportions are not alike, our senses agreeth not, yet notwithstanding wee are comforted for that

we have all one God, all one begining from thee, that we respect [191v] thee a Creator; therefore
will we call upon thy name, & in thee will we become mighty; thou shalt light us, & we shall
become seers; we will see thy Creatures, & we will magnify thee amongst them; those that come

Lawes unto thee, so it is not meete that we should prescribe Lawes unto them, what it pleaseth
thee to offer, they receive; soe what it pleaseth them to offer unto us, will we alsoe thankfully

Behold Lord, if we shall call upon them in thy Name, be it unto us in mercy as unto the Servants.
O Lord, is there any that measureth the Heavens that is mortall, how therefore can the Heavens
enter in to mans Imagination, thy Creatures are the glory of thy Countenance, whereby thou
glorifies all things, which glory excelleth, & is far above our understanding. Behold O Lord,
how whall wee [192r] therefore ascend into the Heavens: the Aire will not carry us, but resisteth
our Folly, wee fall downe, because we are of the Earth, therefore O thou very light & true
comfort, that canst and mayst & doest command the Heavens,415 heare us, & have mercy upon us,
& grant our requests, which we humbly make unto thee, & that thou wouldst be so graciously
pleased (by thy divine permission) to send all those Cœlestiall [& Elementall]416 dignified
Angelicall powers of light, that we shall call upon by Orders Names & Offices, to appeare visibly
unto us in this C:S: or G:R: standing here before us, & that in & through the same, they may
transmit their true & reall presence in appearance to the sight of our Eyes, & their voices unto our
Eares, that we may plainely see them & audibly heare them speake unto us, & verbally to
converse & comune with us, & to informe instruct, shew forth & teach us all such knowledge &

for us as for thy servants, both now at this tyme present, & at all other tymes, & whenseover, &
wheresoever we shall move & call them forth, for instruction, releife, comfort & assistance, in
whatsoever shalbe necessary for us, &c.
Enlighten therefore our Eyes O heavenly God, & open thou our Eares, that we may see thy
spirituall Creatures, & heare them speake unto us, quicken, illuminate & confirme in us, & unto
us, our reasons discretions, iudgments understandings memories & utterances, that we may be
true & perfect Seers, Hearers & Wittnesses of such things, which mediately by the ministery of
thy sacred [192v] Cœlestiall Angells & blessed Intelligences, & other elementall dignified Spirits or

ascribed to Enoch which appears in the Dee-Kelly Spirit Action of 1584.07.07 (T&FR p. 196-7), changing first person
singular to plural throughout and with some other paraphrases, omissions, interpolations and single-word errors.

OPERATIONS
OF THE ANGLES
OF THE AIR
These conjurations of the Demon Kings of the quarters appear in BL Sloane MS. 3821 (fol 158-165, 178-187).420 They
appear to be founded on the scheme set out in Sloane MS. 3824 fol. 117-120, which in turn derives from the Offices of
the Spirits (Liber officiorum / De officiis spirituum) tradition of Solomonic magic, whose most complete English exemplar
currently known is in Folger MS. V.b. 26 pp. 73 sqq.421

These conjurations aim, not to get the Kings themselves to appear, but to have them compel some of their underlings,
who are then called upon to compel other minions, who are finally conjured directly to appear in the crystal or glass: as
such, each of the “Operations” is in three parts, the first addressed directly to the king, the second to certain
“Messengers” subject to the king, and the third to another of the “Messengers.”

While the figures of Oriens (or Uriens), Paymon, Amaymon and Egyn, with minor variations in spelling, are of frequent
occurance in mediæval, Renaissance and early modern magical texts, the Sloane 3824 / V.b. 26 scheme also assigns
them certain underlings or “messengers”, as followeth (names as tabulated S4 fol. 117v):422

Under Oriens, King of the East:


 “Presidentiall Councellors”: Neopheyn, Barbas, Sebarbas, Aligon.
 “Messengers”: Baal, Temel, Belfarto (or Belferith)

Under Paymon, King of the West:


 “Presidentiall Councellors”: Gordonizer (or Gordonsor), Zame.
 “Messengers”: Belferth¸ Belial, Bawson, Rombulance (or Ramblane), Alphasis.

Under Egyn, King of the North:


 “Presidentiall Councellors”: Vassago, Othey, Um, Anaboth.
 “Messengers”: None.423

Under Amaymon, King of the South:


 “Presidentiall Councellors”: Aleche, Berith, Mala.
 “Messengers”: Boulon, Ocarbidaton, Madicon.

420
Another copy (17th century) is in Bodleian MS. Rawlinson D 1363 fol. 26-37. I have not examined this: it is described in the
catalogue (Catalogi codicum manuscriptorum Bibliothecae Bodleianae, partis quintae fasciculus quartus, col. 450) as “Operations of the East
[with West, North and South] Angle of the ayr, by invocation made to the regal spirit Orients, who is the king and rulour of the
same, for the moveing and calling forth of all or any of such ayeriall spirits, by name, order, and office, of what degree soever, from
the superioul (sic) to the inferiour, to visible appearance; &c.”
421
Typeset as The Book of Oberon (edited / translated / illustrated by Daniel Harms, James Clark & Joseph Peterson). The best known
English exemplar of the Liber officiorum tradtion, the Ars Goëtia of the Lemegeton, derives from a copy (printed as Pseudomonarchia
Dæmonum) in which material relating to the three chiefs and four kings is missing, probably as a result of being deliberately redacted
out by an editor (J. Wier) who was hoping to make the whole thing unuseable.
422
The “Presidentiall Councellors” appear to be drawn from a list such as that on V.b. 26 pp. 81-84, which names 12 spirits under
each of the four Kings.
423
Most of the description of Egyn got lost in transmission prior to the text now forming that part of S4 being copied; the omission of
the messenger of Egyn in the present text suggests that it derived either from that, or a similarly incomplete copy. V.b. 26 gives the
name Rodabell (or Radabelbes) and also calls on Lambricon vel Lambracaron to compel Rodabell.

261
262 INVOCATION OF ANGELS
Additionally, a spirit called “Marage” is called on, apparently subject to both Oriens and Amaymon, and one called
Mirage under Paymon and Egyn.

In the Liber Officiorum tradition, the four Kings are generally in turn subject to the three chief infernal spirits, Lucifer,
Beelzebub and Sathan (to use the spelling employed in S4 and the present text); it is said that Lucifer may not be called
up directly but can be cited in calling up and binding other infernal spirits.

It is to be observed that there is no rubric. The text was not written for publication but either for personal use or for
circulation among a group already well-acquainted with the general processes of ceremonial crystallomancy. It also
seems likely that it was intended that something like the initial prayer of Longobardus (“to be said before the Calling
Forth of Elementall or Infernall Powers, or Spirits of Darkness”) 424 and possibly also the same compliation’s conjuration
of “L:B:S:”425 be used as a preliminary. Copies of these have been appended.

It may, of course, be questioned whether there is any warrant for including this set of conjurations—explicitly
addressed to “fallen” spirits under the governance of Satan—in the present collection, beyond its being bracketed with
Clavicula Tabularum Enochi and “Celestial Confirmations” in the British Library’s catalogue entry for Sloane MS. 3821
under the heading “On the invocation of angels”: after all, “A Select Treatise” (vide infra.) is described as “On Egyptian
Magic” in the same catalogue but has nothing to do with Egypt bar a few mentions in the title and preface appealing
to the authority of tradition and antiquity. It is largely here (a) for the sake of completeness and (b) to provide a
contrast with the other materials.

424
S4 fol. 3r, 3v.
425
S4 fol. 4r-5r. The initials almost certainly stand for “Lucifer, Beelzebub, Sathan”: curiously they are also the first, middle and last
letter of “Longobardus,” the somewhat mysterious title of that collection (it is possibly a reference to “Robertus Longobardus” which
appears as a variation of “Rupertus Lombardus,” the imputed author of the Thesaurus Spirituum, a work on magic denounced by
Trithemius in his Antipalus Malificorum (the Thesaurus is also ascribed to the 13th-century monk Roger Bacon). See Klaassen,
Transformations of Magic, p. 234).

434
Probably an error for Umbra, which while Latin for “shadow” & thus not a totally inappropriate name for an infernal
spirit, is possibly in turn a copyist error for “Hinbra” who appears as an underling of Egin in the Folger “Book of Magic”
(Folger V.b. 26), p. 84.
435
As already remarked noted, the De Officiis excerpt which was the basis for this, probably that in S4 or one very close
to it, names no “Messengers” for Egin. Folger MS. V.b. 26 p. 74 names “the messengers [sic] of the Kinge of the North”
as Rodabell, vel Radabelbes.

Appendix: Of the Infernal Chiefs and Four Kings.


[The following appears in Sloane MS. 3824, fol. 117r-120v, the final four leaves of a notebook containing
treasure-hunting conjurations and “experiments” involving various named Spirits; it in turn derives from the
De officiis spirituum tradition represented by Folger MS. V.b. 26 pp. 73 sqq. (ca. 1580). The parallels with the
“Operations of the Angles of the Air,” including certain omissions, suggest that is it close to, even if not
directly above it, in the stemma. I have also transcribed parallel passages from the Folger “Book of Magic.”
This text has no title in the MS.]

There are many Spirits, that are said to be by nature Evill, & not onely Envious & Enymies to
man & his felicity, but advers to all goodness whatsoever: and yet have been by magicians of
former times (Living in Remote & far Countryes from us in England, and these parts) brought to
a Comunication, and a Kind of familiarity, with them, whereby there offices & natures have been
discovered, but it hath not been Common among men, Especially the meanest Capacityes, &
therefore not att all practiced, neither is It fit to be practiced by any Sober philosopher unless to
Satisfie his Curiosity, because of their Turbulence, but yet they are many times called upon, to
bind & constrain other Spirits, to doe there offices, which is not at all offencive hurtfull or
obnoxious, therefore they may be Invocated in Such Cases &c: wee shall mention somewhat
thereof, because of diserning the differences thereof, & therein let the magick Philosopher use his
discretion &c.:

[Sloane 3824.] [Folger V.b. 26.]

[117v] There are three spirits Called devils, or [73] There be 4 kinges of the Ayere Orience
infernall spirits, whose names are mentioned in R[ex] of the east, Paymon R[ex] of the west,
holy writ, namely Lucifer, Beelzebub, & Amaymon R[ex] of the south, & Egine R[ex]
Sathan, therefore as they stand recorded in the of the north.

Reason he may not be called upon, Except to
Constrain other Subservient Spirits to fulfil the
Command & Requests of the Invocant in any
Reasonable thing.

Tantavalerion is an “Emperor” of infernal spirits, frequently mentioned in the Folger “Book of Magic” (and not at all
anywhere else in Sloane 3824). A similar name, Cantivalerion, with the same characterisation, is mentioned in Bodleian
MS. e Mus 173; see Harms & Clark, Of Angels, Demons and Spirits for a typeset.

The conjuration of Temell from V.b. 26 is omitted; it is brief, has no resemblance to that in S4, and in contrast with

[119v]The practice that Master Hochmah, 448 &c.——made use of, by these above named four
Kings, Orience, Paymon, Egyn and Amaymon, is as followeth.
First, the four Kings, and their Partickular Precidentiall Councellors, were distinctly Called upon,
from there Severall & Respective Orders or mansions, to send such a spirit as was nominated, &c.,
to Effect & fullfill all such proposals, as should be demanded, all which is thus:

O thou great & potent spirit Oriens, King of the East, & bearing Rule & Command In the East
Region of the Ajjer, I adjure, call upon & Constrain, and most powerfully and Earnestly Urge
you, by & in, and through the Vertue power & might of these Efficatious & binding names,

Incomprehensible & Everliving God, the omnipotent Creator of heaven & Earth, & in & through
the names of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, messias, Sother, Emannuel, the onely Begotten
Son of god the father, born of the Virgin mary, the High King & Lord of all the world, whose
name all the Cœlestiall Angels honour & obey, and before whom all the holy Company and
Quier of heaven, Incesantly Sing, O mappa laman, Hallelujah and at whose Divine &
inestimable name, all Knees on Earth do homage and bow, and all the Aijeriall terrestiall and

A Prayer to be said before the Calling Forth of Elementall

[3r] O most high, Immense, Imortall, Incomprehensible, and Omnipotent Lord God of Hosts, the

CELESTIAL
C O NF I RM ATI O N S
This collection of planetary conjurations occupies fol. 166-177 of Sloane MS. 3821. Owing to some signatures being
disarranged on one occasion of the manuscript being rebound, the last four leaves of text (166-169 as now bound,
followed by some blank leaves not counted in the current foliation) were displaced to the start, and the entire thing
interrupts the “Operations of the West Angle of the Ayre.”

Thse conjurations combine the planetary scheme of the Heptameron with the scale of the number 10 from Agrippa that
forms the basis for the Janua Magica Reserata (in fact, sections of each conjuration, including the “Week of Creation”
references, are verbatim or near-verbatim from the “Celestial Keys” of the Janua). For each planet are cited:

(a) The ruling Angel (following the pseudo-Abano arrangement).


(b) A “great Angell,” (Salamia, Orphaniel, Acimoy, &c.); the immediate source is again the Heptameron (perpe-
tuating a misprint originating in the edition of the latter text in Agrippa’s collected works) although this list
of names appears with variants in mediæval works such as the Sepher Raziel.
(c) The Zodiac sign(s) ruled by the Planet.
(d) The day of the Week of Creation corresponding, from the myth in Genesis I.
(e) A name of God by which he is said to have “sealed” the work of the particular day of Creation.
(f) The corresponding Sephirah with its order of Angels and divine name from Agrippa’s scale of the number 10.

The title of this section is almost entirely unreadable in the scans I’m working from: the portion in the following
transcription is the part that was copied into the main contents list of the codex and represents three out of ten lines of
rubricated text. It is also possible that there was further rubricated text at the end. As such, the purpose and mode of
working associated with these conjurations is unclear: however, the text indicates that it is not based around evocation
to crystal: the Angels are called on to “dignify and give full and effectual power, virtue, force and influence” to “NB,”
suggesting that the point is to use them to empower a planetary talisman or some other Material Basis, whose name /
purpose would be substituted into the text where “NB” appears.

[In the scans I’m working from there are some very faint marks after the end of the text on fol. 169r, suggesting 7 or 8
lines ruled in red ink; and similarly in the top half of 169v. If there is any actual text there, it is completely unreadable
in the images, fainter even than the rubric above the start of the text.]
A SELECT
TREATISE
This work on the planetary Intelligences occupies the final 21 leaves (fol. 205-225) of Sloane MS. 3821. A fragment
also appears in Sloane MS. 3825 (fol. 96v-99v), cutting off partway through the conjuration of Agiel. 459 That copy is
in the same hand as the S5 copy of Janua Magica Reserata.

The scheme of this work derives from De Occulta Philosophia lib. II. cap. xxii, which gives the tables or “magic squares”
of the classical planets as well as various Hebrew names, either traditional or fabricated, which equate up to one of the
“magic numbers” of the planet460 by the numerical value of their letters. For each planet is given the name of an
“Intelligence” (intelligentia) and “Spirit” (daemonium),461 with a signiculum sive character for each, created by drawing
lines between the squares on the “magic square” contining the numbers corresponding to each letter in turn.462

Some considerations of style and tone in the following make it less than certain that it was by the author of the other
“Invocation of Angels” texts rather than being written in imitation of them and later appended to a copy of the Janua:
leaving aside vagaries of spelling in the Sloane 3821 copy, grammar is generally far worse, sentence structure more
frequently broken, and the spirits, despite being addressed as “dignified,” “benevolent” and “angelical” are threatened in
a way only found in one other text in this collection—the “Tenth Key” interpolated into the Sloane 3825 Janua, which
is itself patently an addition by a different writer.463

The S1 copy does not appear to use any rubrication: I have used rubrication and boldface in the following to mark out
names of the spirits, divine names, &c. in accordance with the general pattern of the other texts in this group.

459
That copy was never finished; the sheet on which the scribe continued it is not lost, but was bound up into what is now Sloane MS.
3824, and the continuation of the text trails off after less than half a page.
460
To each of the seven classical Planets is assigned a number from 3 to 9, ordered by their apparent rate of motion when seen from
the Earth’s surface, with Saturn (the slowest) at 3. Calling this number n, the other numbers are n2, n × (n2 + 1) / 2, and n2 × (n2 + 1) /
2: thus for Saturn 3, 9, 15, 45; for Jupiter 4, 16, 34, 136; for Mars 5, 25, 65, 325, &c. With the numbers from 1 to n2 arranged on an n
by n table so each row and column adds to the same, the third number will be the sum of each row and column and the fourth the
sum of the entire table.
461
For Venus, an Intelligentia and Intelligentiæ (plural) are listed, although the latter “Beni Seraphim” (‫ )בני שרויםם‬adds to 1252
(counting ‫ ם‬as 600) not 1225 as stated; for the Moon, we find a Dæmonium, a Dæmonium dæmoniorum and an Intelligentia
intelligentiarum.
462
Since the numerical values of the letters in many cases exceed the number of squares on the Tabula of the Planet, the numbers are,
where necessary, reduced from tens to units, or hundreds to tens or units. In a few instances, two letters are counted together, thus
yielding a single point on the character, e.g. ‫ = יא‬11 in the characters of Graphiel and Hagiel. The start of the character is marked by a
small circle, the end by a short perpendicular line. Where two successive letters fall in the same square, this is indicated by a “double
bow” or small semi-circular loop. Where three or more letters fall in a straight line, a loop is drawn in the intermediate square(s).
The seals of the Planets are generally supposed to be characters that pass through every square on the “table” of the planet,
although those of Mars, Venus and Luna miss a few squares.
A more detailed explanation of how these figures are formed appears in an appendix to Donald Tyson’s edition of OOP.
The figures in the MS. were crudely copied from those in the 1651 English edition of OOP and perpetuate some errors or oddities,
such as a spurious break in a line in the character of Graphiel (either a slip by “J.F.’s” engraver or perpetuated from his source text) and
omitting two of the small circles at line ends in the seal of Saturn. For the present edition, all the figures have been redrawn in
proportion.
463
Since the S5 “Tenth Key” is crammed in between the end of the Janua and the start of a copy of the present work, in a different
hand to them, it was not written by the author of “A select Treatise” but by someone else in imitation of it.

otherwise found in “Invocation of Angels” texts addressed to “benevolent,” “dignified” and “Angelical” spirits,

In full, Malkah betharshithim hed beruaḥ Scheḥakim, ‫ = מלכא בתרשיתים עד ברוח שחקיםם‬3321, counting ‫= ם‬
600. Variations of this horrendous name have appeared in the literature over the centuries, some not even adding to
the required number: this is the Hebrew orthography given by Agrippa.
494
Agrippa gives the divine names answering to the numbers of Luna as Hod, ‫ = הד‬9 and Elim, ‫ = אליםם‬81.
495
Some liberties had to be taken with the character as otherwise it would look even more of a mess than it does
anyway: Each “word” has a separate section with its own start and end point marked, and the character has been
broken into two parts, one for the first two “words” / 12 letters (‫ כא‬counted together as 21), the other for the rest,
which have been drawn side by side, the first part on the right. Agrippa’s character appears to have been based on
forgetting that the ‫ ם‬in ‫ בתרשיתיםם‬is counted as 600 (reduced to 60 on the square of Luna), not 40, as the section
representing that part of the name ends next to the taus in the 40 square, and I’ve no idea how he ended up with the
segment for ‫ שחקיםם‬the way he did.

O you benevolent Intelligence of celestial light, dignified and by nature Angelical, who art known or called by the
name [name of Intelligence], and said to be of the nature and office of the planet or star called [Planet], when by
celestial position it shall be both essentially and accidentally well dignified and fortified, with all your other substitutes,

Highest, reverently here present in his holy fear, do earnestly beseech, humbly request, strongly invoke, call forth amd

divine names of your God: [Divine Names]: Even the omnipotent, immortal, immense, incomprehensible and most
high God and Lord of Hosts, Jehovah, before whom the whole choir of heaven continually singeth: O mappa-laman
Hallelujah: and by the seal of your creation, being the mark or character of holiness unto you: and by the great
mystery, virtue, force and power, efficacy and influence of all: we do strongly invoke, confidently call forth and
powerfully move you, O you benevolent Intelligence or celestially dignified angelical medium of light, who by name
art called [name of Intelligence]: with all the other president and servient Angels, or celestially dignified mediums of
light, by degree and office, in general and particular, every and each one, for and by itself, respectively appertaining to
your hierarchy, mansion, or place of residence, to visible appearance: Move therefore, O you benevolent Intelligence

gird up and gather yourself or selves accordingly together and some one or either more of you, as it shall please God of
his special grace & permission is given to you, and also accordingly descend from your mansion or place of residence

visibly here before use in this Crystal Stone or Glass Receptacle standing here before us: and in and through the
same transmit your true and real presence, in splendid appearance, plainly unto the sight of our eyes, and utter your
voices unto our ears that we may not only visibly see you but audibly hear you speak unto us, that we may converse
with you: or otherwise forthwith appear out of them, visibly upon this table, or fairly upon the floor, and show plainly
and visibly unto us a sufficient sign or test of your coming and appearance: therefore we do entreat you and
undeniably request you, charge, constrain, command and powerfully move you, O you royal and amicable Angel or
blessed Intelligence [name of Intelligence] who art truly ascribed to the planet [Planet]: And by the great names of
God governing that planet, [Divine Names of Planet], I do again and again powerfully, without any delay,
lingering or tarrying, strictly charge that you defer not one minute longer to serve us and really fulfil all that is

Appendix: variant fragment from Sloane MS. 3824


[While the sheet on which this was written now forms part of BL Sloane MS. 3824 (fol. 37 sqq.), it was
apparently originally bound up after what is now Sloane MS. 3825 fol. 99 but detached from that MS. book
prior to a copy of the Lemegeton being bound up with it. Both the text and the page numbering (top centre)
continue directly from S5 fol. 99v. This also indicates that the copy of “A Select Treatise” which followed the
S5 Janua was never completed: the passage is cancelled, and the rest of the sheet is filled by unrelated text in
another hand. It will be observed that it diverges significantly from the conjurations in the S1 text of “A
Select Treatise.” The portion of the conjuration that remains in S5, though, varies only in vagaries of spelling,
punctuation and capitalisation from the S1 copy. This raises awkward questions about the writing of this
work, suggesting that the text represented by the S1 copy was completed by a second author based on the S5
copy after that sheet was detached.]

Featuring Ave from the “Dr. Dee and some Spirits” series,
and Knuckles.
[This treasure-hunting conjuration is the last of some tenuously related papers in various hands that were
bound up at the end of BL Sloane MS. 3677, the bulk of which is a copy by Elias Ashmole of John Dee’s Liber
Mysteriorum I-V spirit diaries (the original is now BL Sloane MS. 3188). The handwriting is not Ashmole’s
and does not appear to be identical with any of the other scribes of Sloane 3821. It is included here as another,
and little-known, example of how material from T&FR was used by magicians of the late 17th century. The
language used is similar to the treasure-hunting conjuration of “Longobardus” (BL Sloane MS. 3824 fol. 5v-
13r), although the latter was addressed to a group of spirits whose names are mostly drawn from the Liber
officiorum tradition of Solomonic magic.
Sloane 3677, like Sloane MSS. 3821, 3824 and 3825, was part of the Sommers / Jekyll collection before
being acquired by Sloane in Jekyll’s estate sale.]

[180r] Whereas we are certainly and credibly informed that James Knuckles being prisoner, in
the County of Middlesex about four yeares agoe, between the houres of Twelve and One of the
clock in the night, there appeared a Phantasme unto him by his bed side he being then awake
and called him by his name Knuckles, Knuckles, Knuckles three times distinctly his face being
towards the wall and the said Apparition at his back, who having himself called by his name
turned about towards the said Apparition, and there beheld one in black as in a Priests garment,
at which the said mr Knuckles being sore affrighted issued out these words, (vizt) In the name of
the ffather, Son, and holy Ghost, what art thou, I am sure thou art no mortall creature, The
answer by the said Apparition replyed was as followeth; No more I am not, but I have brought
you good news, with that the said Mr Knuckles made answer, what news; then the said
Apparition answered, Goo you to a place called Edmunton,499 and hard by the Churchyard in an
Orchard under an Ashen Tree do you dig seven foot deep, & there are twelve Leaden pots every
Pot being a foot square, whereof eleaven of the said pots are full of Gold and the Twelfth pot is
richer than all the rest, with that the said party James Knuckles replyed who is this Gold for, with
which he answered it is for your selfe, and none else. Be sure you goe, with that he vanished
away.

About three months afterwards the said party went to dig under an Ashen Tree as before directed
by the Spirit, with other company, and they digged two foot, and found the ground never before
opened, at the which they left of digging there, and went to another Ashen Tree in the said
Orchard, and they had not laboured above half an hour, but the same Apparition, as he supposed,
appeared unto all the Company on the other side of the hedge and spake as followeth to some of

499
Edmonton, now part of the London borough of Enfield. In 1621 there was a notorious witch-trial there, leading to
the execution of one Elizabeth Sawyer: the case was used as the basis for a popular play, The Witch of Edmonton,
written and first performed the same year.

the company who were Quakers, what is the matter with these Quakers, that I cannot take my
rest, you dig for Treasure, and there is none belongs to you, therefore I wish you to begone, at
the which one of the Quakers spake to the said Mr Knuckles and called him by his name: James I
see that thou speakest truth, for here is the said Apparition thou touldst us of which thou saidst,
should meet us here, (for it seemes the said James Knuckles did believe such a thing before) but
no sooner were the words spoken but the Apparition vanished, and then happened such a
tempest or Hurricane, that the man of the house came to them and desired them to begone, for
he said that they had raised the Devill, and wished them to begone, otherwise he would raise the
whole Town upon them, at the which they desisted for that time, and the said party James
Knuckles was going homewards, was blown of a Cawsey into a certain Ditch up to his Waste,
and the rest of the company dispersed, where he knew nothing of them, untill such time as he
came to Newington, about three or four miles distant, where they met together.

Whereas likewise we have credible Information by Richard Brickenden, that at a certain place in
Berkshire called Inkipen,500 at the personage yard there lyes hidden the summe of One Thousand
pounds of Barbary Gold in an Iron pot, covered with a Tyle, we would know the certainty &
truth thereof, that we may enjoy there same and convert it to our necessary uses.

[180v] And whereas it is very well known and by true and certain experience found that many
Treasures and Treasuries preordained and appointed through divine grace by the power and
efficacy of Celestial and Superiour Influences, acting or opperating properly as Agents on all
Terrestriall objects, thereby generating and produceing those many Specy first formes & Ideas
now growing in the bowells of the Earth, as are by nature and time perfected & brought
forth, answerable to Celestiall Influence and opperation for the use and benefit of mankind but
onely as aforesaid, and as here it is properly meant & soe accordingly to be understood of all such
of those Treasures or Treasuries of Gold & Silver whither in Coyn, Plates, Jewells, Bulloin or
otherwise, that hath been manufacturized heretofore and in common use amongst the Sons of
Men then living on Earth, and as aforesaid buried in the Earth, or otherwise hidden in some very
secret places and at this day continuing in Sundry and severall places of the Earth or otherwise to
hide or lay up in secret places their Treasures and Treasuries of Gold and Silver and other good
or chattells of considerable value, from the Knowledge benefit and comfort of mankind or
Successive generations in after ages, for whose benefit use & comfort the same was of the most
high God principally ordained & through his divine grace and goodess given accordingly for use
by hand of nature and soe from time to time untill this day, It hath been accustomary and
common for many people of most Countrys in the World for several reasons induceing them so
to doo, either indirectly through Coveteousness or envy or other wicked machinations which is
pursued and assigned by divine Justice. Or directly though forcible or fatal necessity
constraining thereunto in hopes of a future preservation, which people then dying or departing
this life without revealing or discovering such Treasures or Treasuries by them so buried or
otherwayes hidden, to any person then living, then do the Spirits of darkness called Evill or
Infernall powers as the ministers of divine Justice take into possession and keep all such Treasures

as hath been both indirectly gotten and enviously hidden untill such divine judgments are
expiated.

And the servants of God the sons of men, shall as by right of inheritance or by art and industry
seeke after and discover & obtain the same, and soe likewise of all such Treasures or Treasuries
that hath been directly gotten and of necessity hidden, and by the decease of its proper owners
left undiscovered & soe at length become wholly unknown; Then doth either some Ayeriall or
Terrestriall or otherwise Elementall Spirits by nature as well of Light as darkness and more
benevolent then the former and also more willing to serve and assist the Sons of Man servants of
God according to their several and respective orderes and offices being moved thereunto. Then
(wee say) doth some one or other or more of those kind of Spirits as they behold Range and visit
all parts and places of the Earth, take possession and keep such Treasures or Treasuries from the
knowledge use and benefit of mankind, and from their [181r] easy discovering and obtaining of
the same, untill by Art or Industry they are commanded or constrained to reveal, yield up, and
deliver the same unto whomsoever shall by the power of Art or other divine dignification
accordingly move, and compell them so to doo; and like-wise for all other such Treasures or
Treasuries of Gold and Silver which in any wise lyeth buried or secretly hidden in any place of
the Earth; And that are possessed and kept of Spirits either by chains or purpose or appointment,
and so to be discovered & obtained by Art and Industry as aforesaid: All which wee certainly
know and verily believe to be rational and truth, not onely by many credible reports and
informations given thereof, but by the absolute experience had in the common use and practise
now becomein all reports accustomary amongst the people from time of old until this say.

Now then soe it is, that wee hereby confidently and humbly beseech you, that some spirit or
spirits may be assigned and given to us, to appear visibly unto us in fair & decent forme, either in
a Glass Receptacle as being one usuall forme and manner of appearance in receiving or inclosing
of Spirits or otherwise before us out of the same, accordingly as the best convenience and benefit
of our opperations shall necessarily require whensoever and wheresover wee shall move and call
them forth to visible appearance, And that by the force & power of our Invocations and
Constringations, such as those Spirit or Spirits of what name, nature, order office or degree
soever assigned or given to us, may as familiar Spirits & obedient servants, readily willingly and
faithfully serve us and assist us accordingly therein, And also to reveal, discover and make known
and shew forth unto us the very truth and certainty of all such places or any particular place by
name respectively, or possitively as that of the aforesaid James Knuckles, Richard Brickenden &c.,
where any Treasure or Treasuries of Gold and Silver, where in Coyn, plate, jewells or Bullions or
other goods or Chattells doth lye buried in the Earth or otherwise hidden in any secret place in
any Country of the Earth that hath been heretofore manufacturized & in use amongst men, And

and use of mankind; That soe either by the help and assistance of such familiar spirit or Spirits

Treasuries of Gold and Silver buried hidden or layd up in any ground, house, vault, cellar, or any
other place or places in any County, Citty, Town, Castle or old ruined places or in what other
place or places soever within this Realm or Kingdom of England soe called, may bring or cause
to be brought away, all or any of the aforesaid Treasure or Treasuries possessed and kept by any
order whatsoever, Directly and Immediately unto this or any other appointed place, then and
there and at that very instant or moment of time to leave [181v] the same, barely nakedly and
openly visible to the sight of our eyes and then to be discharged, and soe from thence to be
dismissed and to depart unto their orders without dareing or presumeing to returne thereto again,
or seemingly to alter change or convert the same into any vile or base matter contrary to the
forme of its natural Specie or otherwise what it truly was when it was first buried hidden or layd
up, whereby to deceive defraud or deprive us thereof; now therefore O most Royall and mighty
King Bataiva King of the East, and Raagios King of the West, Iczodhehca King of the
South & Edelperna King of the North, Wee Invocate earnestly request and undeniably move
you to compell and to force the Six Seniors of the East, the Six Seniors of the West, the Six
