The Spirits Behind The Mystic Grimoire & The Semi-Alphabetic Cipher




All spirits and names derived herein are from online sources who mostly do not credit where they get their information from. I make an attempt to at least identify their origin or cultural, and what they specialize in. There are 28 Spells and 27 Rituals, clocking in at 55 total. There are also over 90 spirits, and over 100 Names used if one was to add them all together in the below section. Names used in this book are between the Spells and Rituals. Comb through the Spells Section and you will find different magical words of power used there. The Ritual section has a really nice spirit catalog that is inspiring as it leads to many great ideas. I said it elsewhere in one of the groups that I run, and that is that we can do better with the information that we now have nowadays, as this book was published 40 years ago, and that I really hope we do so.

Honorary Mentions

Powers
Cosmic Name
Magic Flame (candle magic)
Sun 
Gods of Chance
Lady Luck


At this point, the first Alphabetically themed part of the book comes up, with a spell connected to finding your own lucky gambling numbers associated with your name. It's kind of like making a sigil in a way. No words of power or spirits names used in this specific spell, however it is the first place in the book where we start to see things done alphabetically.

Moving onto the next spells, more words of power and spirits names:

Moon
Light
Power of Lust
Powers and Forces from Above
Powers of Love
Healing Rays
Fountain of Youth
Luna
Troubles and Forces
Curse
Mystic Traveling Ray
Name Above All Other Names

GADRIEL - Cheif ruling angel of the 5th Heaven in charge of wars among the nations. When a prayer ascends to Heaven, Gadriel crowns it, then accompanies it into the 6th Heaven, according to the Zohar. .


Powers of Three (Holy Trinity)
Cosmic Wheel (Reincarnation, Cycle of Life, or Manifestation)
Powers that Govern (Cosmic Forces and Powerful Beings)
Force of the Name (Power Behind Words)
Sphere of Abraxas (Gnostic name inscribed on talismans)
Rash of Mithra (Zoroastrian angelic Divinity of Covenant and Oath)
Spiritual Sun (Sun behind the Sun)
Creature of Earth
Lords of Karma
Occult Powers


CHERUBIM - The original name(of Akkadian/Assyrian origin) is “karibu”, and means: “one who prays” or “one who intercedes”, although Dionysus claimed that the word meant “knowledge.” In ancient Assyrian art, the cherubim were pictured as huge winged creatures with leonine or human faces, bodies of bulls or sphinxes, eagles etc., and were placed at the entrances of palaces or temples as guardian spirits. Later they came to represent the more gentle heavenly spirits they are viewed as today. They are the first angels to be mentioned in the Old testament: (Genesis 3:22), where they guarded the tree of life in Eden with a flaming sword. They are said to make up the chariots in heaven, and to form or sometimes just bear up God’s throne. They are also often seen as the power behind the winds. The cherubim excel in knowledge, Spirits of the Inner Plane, and Honest Spirits

TOBIIT – (Meaning "My Good" from Hebrew, likely sourced from 'The Book of Tobit', which is a book of scripture that is part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon).

CASSIEL (Casiel, Casziel, Kafziel) – He is the angel of Tears & Solitude. (who “shews forth the unity of the eternal kingdom.”) He was responsible for creating Lilias (Lilith; Adam’s first wife) along with the assistance of God as the Shekinah. Cassiel is a great Archangel who is the Supreme Regent of The planet Saturn & of the astrological sign of Capricorn. He is a great Sarim (Ruling prince) of the choir of Powers & he also governs the Seventh Heaven. Sometimes he appears as the angel of temperance. Barrett in The Magus speaks of Cassiel as one of the 3 angels of Saturday, serving with Machtan and Uriel. In the Book of Spirits as well as in The Magus, the sigil of Cassiel is given, along with his signature. In the latter work Cassiel Macoton (so named) is pictured in the form of a bearded jinn, astride a dragon. In Grillot, Picture Museum of Sorcery, Magic and Alchemy, there is a reproduction of a page from the Book of Spirits giving the conjuration of Cassiel.

SHATEIEL – The angel of silence, compared with Duma. He likely inspired the creation of the Greek god Sigalion (if not the other way around), and also Tacita, Roman goddess of silence, and Harpocratos, son of Isis, who was the god of silence.



Probably one of the more clever spells in this book is by combining CASSIEL and SHATEIEL together, who both know about tears, solitude, and silence, in order to inspire someone to have fun in life! Counter Intuitive Spellwork! : )



PEDAEL (”Whom God delivers”) In Jewish mysticism, the angel of deliverance.

SUSABO – The Nuctemeron Genii of voyages and of the 6th hour.

ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL – A Major Healing Angel who oversees other Healing Angels as well.

MORAEL (MORIEL) – In Goetic lore the Angel of awe or fear who rules the month of Elul (August-September). Most importantly, and in respect to this book, when it comes specifically to consecrating a magical cloak, he can make all things in the world invisible.


It is interesting to note here that the rituals go in a semi-alphabetical related order depending on the spirits named in each ritual as opposed to the ritual name itself. This will make more sense later on in this blog, yet for now there are 27 rituals in all and the order goes:

A B C D E F G  I H J K L M N O Q R S T V W P X Y Z T (27)

(Below are the letters that are out of alphabetical order, and the "T" at the end is extra).

I H U P T
                                           
I spent a while trying to figure this out, yet I don't feel that it leads to anything of practical value. I will leave it open to anyone who would like to explore or add to this Semi-Alphabetical Cipher, as I'm describing it.

H & I are switched around.
U is placed where P should be.
P is placed between W & X
And there is an extra T at the end
After the first T, the U was swapped with P

The only connection I can make here for sure is that there are two T's. Alphabetically, T is normally followed with U, yet not as presented above. In the two T rituals, the spirit, TURMIEL, is featured twice. If we look at the two "T" Rituals, we find that TURMIEL is actually worked with as the Cosmic Being in the first "T" Ritual, and then worked with again in the second T Ritual's Mantrum! Again, this will almost instantly make sense when you read through the Ritual section below. This spirit's first letters are "TU" which are in alphabetical order, however this is quite a stretch that I am making here. That being, that these letters were moved around just like the spirit was.

So not entirely alphabetical, however it is still kind of interesting what the meaning might be behind this, if not just a random Parker Brothers Publishing moment of chance, where if the people who put this book together were still around, they would probably wonder why I vested time into figuring out something that may have very little significance or that they may have barely even noticed when they put it there, but who knows : )

Honestly, I just can't help but find this approach kind of lazy for my own reasons. Mostly working with beings whom seem to be chosen alphabetically and in Rituals that are listed almost alphabetically as well. Along with even recycling the same spirit twice as a Cosmic Being in the first "T" ritual and then as a Mantrum in the second "T" ritual as previously discussed above.

IAOTH who was also featured in 'The Miracle of New Avatar Power' (NAP) is in this book, along with the spirit, EBUHUEL, who was not in NAP, yet was summoned with ELUBATEL (who was) and originally from the 6th and 7th Books of Moses. You can tell in general that the author was a really big fan of those books, along with the Nuctemeron Genii, however he also changed it up quite a bit in this volume from NAP. He uses Kamea, Angels from the Book of Enoch, various names of Metatron in different rituals, Goetic spirits even, and many other beings from various traditions and cultures who were not covered previously in NAP. In fact, NAP has a very limited spirit catalog compared to this book by far. That being said, the way these beings were grouped together in a nearly alphabetical fashion comes with its advantages, mainly when it comes to researching them, However, NAP is concise and works well with the simplicity that it has. So this book is very Quantity orientated, yet it does not dismiss the overall quality, effectiveness, and innovation within this book as well.

In each Ritual there are 3 spirits whom are presented as a Password, a Cosmic Being, and a Mantrum. Along with 2 planets corresponding to the tree of life, a Talisman from the Talisman Kit provided with the book, and the appointed time to undergo the procedure of the Rituals. The discussing of the spirits will be the only thing of import within this blog, where the scholar is concerned, I would like to recommend the outstanding Magical Forum that is none other than the STUDIO ARCANIS along with joining in on any magical discussions related to the following information, as it will expand your magical knowledge and aid in your magical education.

In all cases, when it comes to working with spirits, I always suggest to take apart the structure and simply work with the beings themselves. That is why I will only be including the spirits names here, as it is the only factor that truly matters from within my perspective. All else is mostly fun add-ons with the exception of the Ritual preparation of purity that is laid out and really quite good provisions that he gives. All of the extra stuff again, is a lot of fun, and dresses it up like a grimoire, which it truly is, however in this case, it is what separates NAP's streamlined approach of doing things to a more ceremonial formatting that we see here in this book. The Grimoire itself has quite a lot of excellent material in its spell section, yet the way it differs from NAP is that it doesn't always feature a spirit in each spell. Sometimes it presents words of power, concepts, or mystical ideas, which were all presented in the "Honorable Mentions" category above and at the beginning of this blog. So this is what I would encourage the reader of this blog to do. Strip it all away of everything until the spirits are the only thing that is laid bare, and then work with these beings at your own discretion, and in your own way of approaching things if you feel it so desired.

Ritual Spirit Catelog (Beings original names before they were altered when published in this book)

Note: Two of the names out of alphabetical order start with the letter "M" and the last spirit alphabetically out of order starts with the letter "O" which I emboldened. The first is MISSABU in the A section of the Rituals through which this spirit serves under Arcan. The second is the 23rd spirit in this grimoire, MUMIAH, in the "I" section, who has an "EE" sound in its name like the other two spirits, and finally, the last spirit out of alphabetical order is the 66th spirit in the rituals section, OMOPHORUS in the "W" section, which beats me : ) I guess it could sound like a "W" if you pronounced it, O-MO-FORE-WUHSS, but again, I'm stretching things a lot here.

Spirits out of order are number: 3, 23, 66 (This might have absolutely zero meaning or significance whatsoever).

Again, the Letters out of alphabetical order in this section are:

"H" "I", "U", & "P", 

2nd Note: The pronunciation of the various names are often spelled differently than what they actually are, yet because of the semi-alphabetical cipher used, it made searching for the names that much easier. For example, YAY-DO-TUN looks like it starts with the letter "Y", yet because it is in the "J" section of the Ritual names, it is a Y sounding J, and it is the angel JEDUTHUN. There are many other examples like this throughout the book, however as an example for someone who hasn't read it yet, it is like when JEHOVAH is pronounced YEHOVAH.

Note 3: Anything that is in bold is alphabetically out of order, and adds to why this cipher is semi-alphabetical.

The following section is how each of the Rituals appears in the book, yet they are stripped away of everything else but the spirits themselves. I have also summarized the descriptions of these beings in this section for those who would just like a quick reading experience. The full definitions along with my view on the intent and purpose behind each combined effort of spirits worked with in each Ritual are provided within the next section as a more expanded readers addition for those interested.

81 SPIRITS TOTAL

(Note that the above is the exact order that each of the Rituals is listed in the book, and so a semi-alphabetical cipher is formed from this.)

The below section gives the full definitions of each spirit along with a summary on my part or my analysis on each of the Rituals, as to why the author chose the spirits that he did.

A. (With a twist)

Password: ABALIM (Abalim a.k.a. Arelim - an order of angels known to the Christians as the Thrones. Their name means "great angels" and they are said to be mighty and strong. The chief intelligences of the Abalim are Zaphkiel and Jophiel.)

Cosmic Being: ATAPHIEL (An angel who supports heaven with 3 fingers)

Mantrum: ME-SAH-BOO (MISSABU – A Monday angel of the air serving Arcan <= so kind of “A” related)

A, A, M

B.

Password: BARBATOS (An angel formerly of the order of Virtues. “This fact,” reports Spence in ‘An Encyclopedia of Occultism’, “was proved after infinite research.” In Hell, where Barbatos now dwells, he is a Great Duke, ruling over 30 legions of spirits. He “giveth understanding of the song of birds, knows the past and can fortell the future.” He may be invoked in magical rites, and he will appear gladly, but only when the sun is in the sign of Saggitarius. For Barbatos’ sigil, see Wierus, ‘Peudo-Monarchia’; Waite, ‘The Book of Black Magic and of Pacts’; & ‘The Lemegeton’.)

Being: BODIEL (A ruling prince of the 6th Heaven, according to ‘Hechaloth Zoterathi, quoted in ‘3 Enoch’ 17. The ruling angels usually designated are Sabath, Sandalphon, Zachiel, or Zebul.)

Mantrum: BAY-ZAH-LEE-ALE (BEZALIEL also Busasejal, Basasael), Aramaic ניאל (damaged), Greek Θωνιήλ (damaged), was the 13th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels that are mentioned in an ancient work called the Book of Enoch. This angel is probably one of the most controversial of the list of fallen angels in the Book of Enoch. He is often left off the list of angels from chapter 6 as a result of the problematic transmission of the text. The R. H. Charles[1] translation from 1917 does not include him on the list of 20 leaders. Michael Knibb[2] says as of 1982 there were various translations of the name all with different names and meanings. The name Bezaliel (Shadow of God) is taken from chapter 69 and is the 13th angel listed there. Also known as another of the guardians of the gates of the North Wind, Bezaliel is one of many angelic guardians of the gates.)

This is kind of a controversial Ritual in the book one could say. Aside from the author saying no pacts with the devil in the dust jacket, you can see that some of these spirits are Goetic and another is a fallen angel from the book of Enoch. There is also a Talisman used in the Kit that is of Goetic origin. This is why it is always important to do one's research before jumping into working with spirits before taking everything at face value. The beings are mighty forces and benevolent, however if one insists on not working Goetia, you can be warned ahead of time now.

C.

Password: CORAEL (An angel petitioned in magical prayer for the fulfillment of the invocant’s desires. Corael is invoked along with the angels Setchiel and Chedustaniel in the Secret Grimoire of Turiel.)

Being: CAMAYSAR (In occultism, the angel of “the marriage of contraries.” He is a Nuctemeron genii of the 5th hour.)

Mantrum: CAR-RAH-CAR-SAW (CARACASA – One of the ruling angels of Spring along with the angels Core, Amatiel, and Comissoros.)

(Sidenote: Experiment working with CORAEL, SETCHIEL, and CHEDUSTANIEL together) CAMAYSAR is a Nuctemeron genii and a very interesting choice to throw in here. In particular, it seems to suggest if one is poor it will attract wealth as it marries opposites. This is actually quite a beautiful way that the author decided to work with genii. No idea why CARACASA is here. I also recommend working with the other spirits in this spirits class or hierarchy together as well. It is possible that I found the wrong one as the Mantrum looks to be pronounced differently from the actual name provided here, however with CAMAYSAR, he pronounces the first part of that name “car” may sar. So it would make sense for him to pronounce CARACASA with an “R” sound in CASA being a similar fashion. A little confusing, but let's move on : )


D.

Password: DARQUIEL (An angel over Monday. Resident of the 1st Heaven. Associated with Gabriel & invoked from the South.)

Being: DELUKIEL (One of the guards in the 7th Heaven’s (Araboth’s gates.)

Mantrum: DO-MA-REE-ALE (DEMORIEL - ("blood and the lion") DEMON among the 31 AERIAL SPIRITS of SOLOMON. Demoriel is the emperor of the north, served by 400 great dukes, 600 lesser dukes, and 7,000,008,000,009,000,001 ministering spirits. There are 12 primary dukes, each of whom has 1,140 attending spirits: Amibiel, Cabarim, Menador, Burisiel, Doriel, Mador, Camael, Dubilon, Meclu, Churibal, Dabrinos, and Chomiell.

Again, this is plain confusing. Why would he choose these first two angels? It almost seems as if he just started with the letter “D” so therefore the author threw them into a D themed Ritual with no method as to why this was involved. While with DEMORIEL, though it looks like DOMORIEL is likely yet again another Goetic Demon. Now this makes sense to have in this ritual seeing how it is about money. Again, the chant is a little different than the name that I am suggesting, so it could be different, but not likely. This is why it is again always good to do research on these things beforehand instead of just taking the authors word on everything and jumping into accidentally summoning a Goetic demon to do your bidding if you never intended on working Goetia. Oh well, too late now! : )


E.

Spell: Titillating nature ritual
Password: EPITITIOKH (A virgin Aeon, mentioned in Gnostic lore.)

Being: ELADEL (One of the 72 angels ruling the zodiac, as listed in Runes, The Wisdom of the Kabbalah.)

Mantrum: ABE-BOO-HOO-ALE (EBUHUEL - An angel of omnipotence, one of 8, as recorded in “The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses.” Ebuhuel may be invoked in Kabbalistic conjurations.)


The first name is very powerful as many gnostic names are. I find that simply reciting gnostic names often lead to some incredibly powerful evocative experience, if it is a true name of said lore and lineage. Unsure why the second spirit is worked with here, and like in NAP, now EBUHUEL is worked with as I mentioned earlier, instead of ELUBATEL. I definitely recommend working with all of those angels from the 6th and 7th books of Moses together as an experiment, and as they were originally planned out to be summoned.

F.

Password: FARUN FARO VAK-SHUR (FARUN FARO VAKSHUR – In ancient Persian theogony, the protecting angel of mankind. Metatron in Judaeo-Christian occult lore, where he is often referred to as the “sustainer of mankind.”)

Being: FURLAC ( Or Phorlakh) – An angel who rules over the Earth.)

Mantrum: FAR-VAR-DEEN (FARVARDIN – Angel of March (in ancient Persian lore). Farvardin also governed the 19th day of each month. He is called “one of the cherubim.”


So, calling on some form of protection, then an angel who rules over earth, and then an angel with a name that sounds at the beginning like the first spirit in this Ritual (they are both Persian). Nope, none of this is making sense either. It literally feels like these spirits were just put together because they all have “F” at the beginning of their names. None of these even have anything to do specifically with love which the Ritual is about.

G.

Password: GUABAREL (Angel of Autumn. In addition to Guabarel, another angel cited in occult lore as governing Autumn is Tarquam.)

Being: GAMBIEL (Ruler of the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, as cited in Camfield, A Theological Discourse of Angels. He is mentioned also in The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses as a zodiacal angel.)

Mantrum: GAR-FEE-ALL (GARFIAL or GARFIEL – One of the guardians of the 5th Heaven. Angel of Autumn, Ruler of Aquarius, and a guardian of the 5th Heaven


Again, what these spirits specialize in does not link up to the purpose of the ritual which in this case is enslaving someone as a partner.

I. (H skips this I-ish M sandwich section)

Password: IAOTH (In the Testament of Solomon, Iaoth is one of the 7 Archangels (a variant of the 7 Aeons). He is equated with Beqa, the first and fallen of the Aeons. By the power of Iaoth’s name, the demon Kurteel (who causes bowel pains) can be overcome. In the sense that Kurteel is a variant of Kasbeel (Beqa’s title after the fall), calling the name of Iaoth in aid seems to indicate some conjuration of his former divine nature.)

Being: MUMIAH (An angel with control over the sciences of physics and medicine and is in charge of health and longevity. His corresponding angel is Atembui.)

Mantrum: ISH-LEE-AH (ISHLIAH - One of the angels governing the East.)


Ok, this one kind of makes sense now. Solomonic Archangel who overcame a demon of disease along with an Angel who controls science, physics, medicine, health, and longevity, followed by an angel governing the east. The last one doesn’t make as much sense here as the first two do. However the connection I made is that the angel governing the east is where the sun rises, and so in effect “healing rays” come from, however, I am stretching yet again for this one. Also, MUMIAH is alphabetically out of order, yet as stated earlier, it has an "EE" sound in it's name, similar to the other two spirits.

H.

Password: HARIEL (Also Harael or Behemial) – An angel with dominion over tame beasts. Hariel is invoked against impieties. He rules science and the arts. He is of the Cherubim.)

Being: HELELETH (Or Eleleth [“The God who Lived before”]. In Gnostic lore, a great luminary, described thus in the Hypostasis of the Archons: “the great Heleleth descends from the Holy Spirit; his aspect like gold, his vesture like snow.”)

Mantrum: HEE-BALE-ZEE-WAH (HIBEL-ZIWA or Hiwel-Ziwa – In Mandean lore, an angel equated with Gabriel.


I found this part of my research interesting. This is a very diverse Ritual. An angel of the Cheribum, followed by another Gnostic spirit, and then finally, a Mandean Angel, all in one Ritual.

J. (J after H)

Password: JOSATA (Or Josta – An angel invoked in Solomonic magic rites in the Uriel conjuration. Josata is one of the 4 magical words or names spoken by god (“with his mouth, to his servant Moses”), the other 3 names being Ablati, Abla and Caila.

Being: JESUBILIN (According to the Grimorium Verum, a “holy angel of God” invoked in Gnostic rites. The name is a variant form of Serabilin.)

Mantrum: YAY-DO-TUN (JEDUTHUN – (“praising” or “judgment”). in the cabala, lord of the evening choirs in heaven. As “Master of howling” he leads myriads of angels in chanting hymns of praise to God at the close of each day. Psalms 39, 62, 77 are inscribed “to the chief musician, even Jeduthun.” Here, clearly, Jeduthun is a mortal (a Levite), one of the directors of music at the temple; but in the early Middle Ages the Zoharists transformed Jeduthun into an angel and assigned him in heaven a post similar to the one he invested on earth. (See Asaph; Heman)


Good inspiration from these ones.

K.

Password: KATZFIEL (An angelic prince of the Sword (therefore under Tzadkiel, who serves Michael). He is also a guard of the 6th Heaven. It is said that Katzfiel’s sword emits lightning.)

Being: KEVEQEL (One of the 72 angels of the zodiac.)

Mantrum: KAFF-KAFF-EE-ALE (KAPHKAPHIEL – An angels name found on an oriental charm (kamea) used for warding off evil.)

These choices again are not that straight forward. Yet, they kind of make sense . It still seems and feels kind of random as if they were just picked due to their first letter in their names starting off with “K”. Really I am a fan though of the diverse combinations of different beings from all over the world that I'm seeing all over this Grimoire. Very obscure too, I find the author did quite a lot of research considering when this book came out in the 70's and without internet, quite a lot of digging was involved, especially in order to make it mostly alphabetical. It still does seem a bit lazy the way it was thrown together is all, and the Rituals could potentially be a lot more effective with more analogous spirits together in my opinion.

L.

Password: LOQUEL (An angel who resides in the 1st Heaven. Under Gabriel.)

Being: LIBABRIS (LIBRABIS – Genius of hidden gold and one of the genii of the 7th hour in The Nuctemeron.)

Mantrum: LA-MA (LAMA – In The Heptameron, Lama (or La Ma) is an angel of the air, a ruler of Tuesday, and dwells in the 5th Heaven. He is invoked from the West.

1st Spirit ruled under Gabriel which is an archangel often associated with the West and the last spirit is an Angel of air yet invoked in the West. The Nuctemeron genii, LIBRABIS makes sense when it comes to winning, but not much else about this. Maybe also the fact that the first angel resides in the 1st heaven having something to do with coming in 1st place.

M.

Password: MEHUMAN (”True, faithful” One of the seven angels of confusion.)

Being: MELHA (Chief of The Order of Flames (Buddhist counterpart of the Seraphim).

Mantrum: MAY-MOON-EYE (MAYMON – Chief angel of the air, ruler of Saturn, and subject to the South Wind. He has three angels that minister to him: Abumalith, Assaibi, and Belidet.)

At this point, I really don't like how the author just decided to pick his spirits in an almost entirely alphabetical formatting, even more so than I already felt about it. These Rituals can get good working results, however they could be so much more powerful! It just feels very thrown together without taking much time on some of these. The first spirit's purpose is to confuse or make obedient, the 2nd, MELHA, is appropriate regarding the title having the word "Volcanic" (which I omitted all the names of the Rituals to avoid any copyright run-ins) and the last spirit being Saturnian and an overseer of a few angels is a powerful choice. It is educational, but a bit jumbled in its meaning.

N.

Password: NURIEL (An angel in Jewish mythology, translates as "Fire of the Lord" and is the angel responsible for hailstorms. In Jewish legend, Moses encountered Nuriel in the 2nd heaven,[2] when he issues from the side of Chesed (Mercy), Nuriel manifests in the form of an eagle,[3] an eagle that, when issuing from the side of Geburah (Strength), is Uriel. In the Syriac Book of Protection, Nuriel is characterized as a "spellbinding power" and is grouped with Michael, Shamsiel, Seraphiel, and other great angels.[4] According to the Zohar Nuriel governs Virgo.[5] He is 300 parasangs (approx. 5.6 km) tall and has an army of 50 myriads of angels (= 500,000) "all fashioned out of water and fire."[6] The height of Nuriel is exceeded only by the Erelim, by the watchers, by Af and Hemah, and of course by Metatron, who is the tallest hierarch in heaven. In gnostic lore, Nuriel is one of seven subordinates to Jehuel, prince of fire.[5] Nuriel is also effective as a charm for warding off evil. His name is found engraved on oriental and Hebrew amulets, notably those worn by pregnant women.[7]

Being: NARUDI (An Akkadian spirit, ”Lord of the great gods,” whose image was placed in homes to ward off evil people.)

Mantrum: NAY-REE-ALE (NARIEL - ”By some called Ariel,” according to The Magus he governs the South Wind and is ruler of the noonday winds.

Now this is a great combination that makes a lot of sense! The spirits here match the title of the ritual, and are all quite powerful. If anything else, one gains a rich spirit catalog from this book.

O.

Password: OCTINOMON (A "most holy angel of god" who is invoked during rituals to conjure the Reed.)

Being: ONAFIEL (A regent of the Moon.)

Mantrum: OH-ROE-MA-SEEM (OROMASIM - According to The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, one of the three princes of the world. The other two are Araminem and Mitrim.)


Holier than thou, magnetic influence from above, & Princely Influence as well.

U. (Skipping P, Q, R, S & T)

Password: UZIPHIEL (In Hechaloth lore, an angelic guard stationed at the 1st of the 7 heavenly halls.

Being: UMEROZ (Angel of the 2nd hour of the night, serving under Farris.)

Mantrum: OO-VAH-YAH (UVAYAH – One of the many names of the angel Metatron.)


Angel of the 1st heavenly hall, not sure why the second one was chosen, and Metatron relating to being the highest archangel. So a kind of 1-2-1 approach I suppose.

Q. (Stays alphabetical again until T)

Password: QUELAMIA (He is one of the seven great throne angels according to The Book of the Angel Raziel. These throne angels reside in the 1st heaven, & “execute the commands of the potentates.”)

Being: QANIEL (An angel who (along with many others) guards the gates of the South Wind. He is stationed in the 3rd heaven, where the winds are contained.)

Mantrum: KAFF-SEE-ALE (QAFSIEL - “The Book of Enoch claims that Qafsiel is an angelic guardian of Seventh Heaven. He was often invoked by ancient Jewish magic for protection against enemies. The charm would be written in the blood of a bird and tied to the foot of a dove. If the dove flew, the enemy would be removed.”
(Faber. L. 2010. The Book of Angels. London. Arcturus Publishing Ltd.)

Angel of the 1st Heaven, Angel of the 3rd Heaven, and an Angel of the 7th Heaven.

R.


Password: REMPHA (In Egyptian theology, chief of the Order of Thrones and genius of time. In Hermetics, Rempha is one of the seven planetary genii and the archangel of Saturn.)

Being: RAM AVATAR (Rama, Ramachandra) – The 7th of the ten avatars in Vedic lore.

Mantrum: RAH-HA-BEE-ALE (RAHABIEL - An angel invoked in a charm along with Phaniel, Ariel, Lahabiel, and Raphael.)

Powerful Egyptian spirt and Chief, Vedic Avatar, and an powerful Angel. 

S.

Password: SANGARIEL (An angel who guards the portals of Heaven.)
Being: SHATHNIEL (An angel to inscribe on a kamea for warding off evil.)
Mantrum: SAM-HE-ALE (SAM HII a.k.a. Shom Hii ("creation of life") - a Mandaean angel who serves as one of the four Malki (Uthri or angels) of the North Star.)

Angel guarding Portals of Heaven, Angel Warding off Evil, An angel of the North Star.

T.

Password: TIKARATHIN (Also Thikarathin, Thikarthin) – Lord of hosts, invoked in ritual magick and a secret name of God.

Being: TORQUARET (An angel of autumn.)

Mantrum: TOUR-ME-ALE (TURMIEL – One of the many guards at the gates of the West Wind.)

Remember this name TURMIEL as it will come up again in the 2nd "T" Ritual. None of the spirits chosen make sense here with what this Ritual suggests.

V.

Password: VARUNA (Chief of the 7 Vedic divinities (i.e. suryas), analogous to the Judaeo-Christian angels.)
Being: VOCASIEL (Or Vocatiel) – One of two governing spirits of the zodiacal sign of Pisces (fish), the other spirit being Rasamasa.)
Mantrum: VO-WHO-MA-NAH (VOHU MANAH or Vohu Mano) – (“good thought”) one of the 6 amesha spentas (archangels) in Zoroastrianism. Vohu Manah is the personification of good thought. In the Avesta, Vohu is the 1st of the amesha spentas. He receives the faithful soul at death.)

This is a good one. Once again, aside from the impressive spirit catelog that this book had for the 70's, this is also a clever way of putting them together for this Ritual having to do with knowing what is to come. Makes sense.

W. (Almost)

Password: WALLIM (He is an angel who serves & resides in the 1st heaven.)

Being: WEATTA (In the sixth & seventh Books of Moses, he is an angel of the seal.)

Mantrum: OH-MOE-FOR-US (OMOPHORUS– In Mandaeanism, a ”world-supporting angel.” He carried the earth on his shoulders, like another Atlas.

And back to not making sense again : )


P.

Password: PHATIEL (An angel of the 5th hour of the night serving under Abasdarhon.)

Being: PURAH (Puta, Poteh) – An angel invoked in magickal rites at the close of the Sabbath. In Jewish lore, he is lord of oblivion, the angel of forgetfulness. Isaac Luria associates him with Esau-Samuel.

Mantrum: POO-ROO-SHAH (PURUSHA – The cosmic spirit in Sanskrit lore. He is the 1st cause, itself being uncaused. Compare with the cabalistic En Sof, the ”unimaginable creator of the universe.”)


In order to prevent sounding overly redundant I just won't say anything here about this not making any sense.

X.

Password: XATHANAEL (AKA Nathanael - while the Roman Catholics and others claim that all of the angels were made at the same time, the Gospel of Bartholomew says that Xathanael was the sixth angel to be created. The testimony of Beliar the devil makes the same claim but, this is a less than reliable source.)

Being: XOMOY (An angel of The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses who is invoked as a kind and helpful spirit during ritual conjurations.)

Mantrum: ZONE-OR (XONOR- An angel of The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses who is invoked as a kind and helpful spirit during ritual conjurations.)


Just grouping X spirits together and coming up with something for them to do in a Ritual format. Oh well, what can you do.

Y.

Spell: ARCANE INVISIBILITY RITUAL
Password: YEBEMEL (One of the seventy-two angels of the seventy-two quinaries of the degrees of the zodiac.)

Being: YESHAYAH (One of the many names of Metatron.)

Mantrum: YAH-HA-LA (YAHALA - An angel who guards [with many others] the gates of the West Wind. He is stationed in the third Heaven, where the winds are held.)

Now this is strange! When one consecrates their magical robe before wearing it in this book, they call on the spirit Morael. This being supposedly has the ability to make anything in the world invisible. Yet this Ritual is specifically about invisibility and not a single spirit who specializes in such abilities are in it! But guess what! They all start with Y!!! : ) On a side note, this is yet another Ritual that uses a name of Metatron in this Grimoire.

Z.

Password: ZEBURIAL (One of the angels who guard the halls of the Seventh Heaven.)

Being: ZEFFAR (The "genius of irrevocable choice" who also serves as a genii of the ninth hour.)

Mantrum: ZOO-RAY-ALE (ZURIEL – His name signifies, “God is My Rock”. A regent of the sign of Libra. One of the seventy childbed amulet angels. He is a prince Regent of the choir of the principalities. He cures stupidity. He also assists Uriel in the ruling of September. Also he is cited as being “chief of the house of the fathers of Merari.” in Numbers 3:35.)


The being of choice worked with here is ZEFAR, a Nuctemeron Genii. It has to do with getting rid of bad luck. So by connecting bad luck with having a binding or unchangable choice, I think that it's pretty genius the way he puts this spirit here.

T.(2)

Password: TISHBASH (Another name of Metatron.)

Being: TURMIEL (One of the many guards at the gates of the West Wind.)

Mantrum: TAR-SHE-SHEEM (TARSHISHIM - Order of Virtues according to The Zohar)


This is the 2nd "T" Ritual I was talking about earlier, and the final Ritual in the book. TURMIEL is now the Cosmic Being here instead of being the Mantrum as it was in the first "T" Ritual. Also where yet again, another name of Metatron is used.




In Conclusion

The Mystic Grimoire is a marvelous book, however there are a lot of things going on here that don't seem to make much sense sometimes, even on an intuitive level, I have had to do quite a lot of stretching to make things work or fit together where they simply do not seem to, and have completely thrown out all logic in some places in exchange for things being in a semi-alphabetical format, which can be good on a subconscious level with the Rituals having a "why would this work so well" kind of vibe to it, yet I also feel that people are at least a little entitled to know about the forces they are about to work with before jumping directly into it. At least I'm that way. Leading me to feel like it was a rushed project at least to some extent, and in areas where NAP felt like more a finished book, at least energetically. The spirits were mostly listed together alphabetically, and even though these were apparently the most effective Spells & Rituals from the authors own Hermetic Order of Campo Santo, it just feels really hodgepodged together for some reason, mainly, again because of the semi-alphabetical cipher used here. It just feels like more time could have been spent carefully selecting the right spirits for the job in each Ritual. Now with that being said, I am well aware of the fact that spirits can do way more than what a short description says they are cable of, and the bottom line is that these Rituals work. So as I expressed before, I truly want to see people do better than this 40 years later after its publish and on the verge of being re-published. I want to see people go on to create their own magical systems that are highly beneficial, powerful, and amazing. That get them and the world around them the results that they desire, and that are so profoundly inspired that the late great author of this fantastic magical work might look down on them and smile upon those lucky few who had his great work influence them.
