Heptameron:

or,

Magical Elements

Peter de Abano, philosopher

In the former book, which is the fourth book of Agrippa , it is sufficiently spoken concern-

ing Magical Ceremonies, and Initiations.

But because he seemeth to have written to the learned, and well-experienced in this art;

because he doth not specially treat of the Ceremonies, but rather speaketh of them in gen-

eral, it was therefore thought good to adde hereunto the Magical Elements of Peter de

Abano: that those who are hitherto ignorant, and have not tasted of Magical Supersti-

tions, may have them in readiness, how they may exercise themselves therein. For we see

in this book, as it were a certain introdu

ion of Magical vanity; and, as if they were in

present exercise, they may behold the distin

ions of spirits, how they may be drawn

to discourse and communication; what is to be done every day, and every hour; and how

they shall be read, as if they were described sillable by sillable.

In brief, in this book are kept the principles of Magical conveyances. But because the

greatest power is attributed to the Circles; (For they are certain fortresses to defend the

operators safe from the evil Spirits;) In the first place we will treat concerning the compo-

sition of a Circle.

Of the Circle, and the Composition Thereof.

The form of Circles is not alwaies one and the same; but useth to be changed, accord-

ing to the order of the Spirits that are to be called, their places, times, daies and hours. For

in making a Circle, it ought to be considered in what time of the year, what day, and what

hour, that you make the Circle; what Spirits you would call, to what Star and Region they

do belong, and what fun

fun

ions they have. Therefore let there be made three Circles of the

latitude of nine foot, and let them be distant one from another a hands breadth; and in the

middle Circle, first, write the name of the hour wherein you do the work. In the second

place, Write the name of the Angel of the hour. In the third place, The Sigil of the Angel

of the hour. Fourthly, The name of the Angel that ruleth that day wherein you do the

work, and the names of his ministers. In the fifth place, The name of the present time.

Sixthly, The name of the Spirits ruling in that part of time, and their Presidents. Sev-

enthly, The name of the head of the Signe ruling in that part of time wherein you work.

Eighthly, The name of the earth, according to that part of time wherein you work. Nin-

thly, and for the compleating of the middle Circle, Write the name of the Sun and of the

Moon, according to the said rule of time; for as the time is changed, so the names are to be

altered. And in the outermost Circle, let there be drawn in the four Angles, the names of

the presidential Angels of the Air, that day wherein you would do this work; to wit, the

name of the King and his three Ministers. Without the Circle, in four Angles, let Pen-

Heptameron

tagones be made. In the inner Circle let there be written four divine names with crosses

interposed in the middle of the Circle; to wit, towards the East let there be written Alpha ,

and towards the West let there be written Omega; and let a cross divide the middle of the

Circle. When the Circle is thus finished, according to the rule now before written, you

shall proceed.

Of the Names of the Hours, and the Angels ruling them.

It is also to be known, that the Angels do rule the hours in a successive order, according

to the course of the heavens, and Planets unto which they are subje

; so that that Spirit

which governeth the day, ruleth also the first hour of the day; the second from this gov-

erneth the second hour; the third; the third hour, and so consequentkly: and when seven

Planets and hours have made their revolution, it returneth again to the first which ruleth

the day. Therefore we shall first speak of the names of the hours.

Hours of the day.

Hours of the night.

ed, sprinkle the same with holy or purging water, and

say, Thou shalt purge me with hysop, (O Lord,) and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I

shall be whiter then snow.

When the Circle is ritely perfe

ion of perfumes.

T he God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, bless here the creatures of these kindes, that

they may fill up the power and vertue of their odours; so that neither the enemy, nor any false

imagination, may be able to enter into them: through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. Then let them

be sprinkled with holy water.

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

The fire which is to be used for suffumigations, is to be in a new vessel of earth or iron;

and let it be exorcised after this manner. I exorcise thee, O thou creature of fire, by him by

whom all things are made, that forthwith thou cast away every phantasme from thee, that it shall

not be able to do any hurt in any thing. Then say, Bless, O Lord, this creature of fire, and san

fie it, that it may be blessed to set forth the praise of thy holy name, that no hurt may come to the

Exorcisers or Spe

Of the Garment and Pentacle.

Let it be a Priests Garment, if it can be had, let it be of linen, and clean. Then take this

Pentacle made in the day and hour of Mercury , the Moon increasing, written in parchment

made of a kids skin. But first let there be said over it the Mass of the holy Ghost, and let it

be sprinkled with water of baptism.

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

A ncor, Amacor, Amides, Theodonias, Anitor, by the merits of thy Angel, O Lord, I will put on

the Garments of Salvation, that this which I desire I may bring to effe

: through thee the most

holy Adonay, whose kingdom endureth for ever and ever. Amen.

Of the manner of working.

Let the Moon be increasing and equal, if it may then be done, and let her not be com-

bust.

The Operator ought to be clean and purified by the space of nine daies before the

beginning of the work, and to be confessed, and receive the holy Communion. Let him

have ready the perfume appropriated to the day wherein he would perform the work. He

ought also to have holy water from a Priest, and a new earthen vessel with fire, a Vesture

and a Pentacle; and let all these things be rightly and duly consecrated and prepared. Let

one of the servants carry the earthen vessel full of fire, and the perfumes, and let another

bear the book, another the Garment and Pentacle, and let the master carry the Sword;
