GOETIA: the pagan originals

What did you expect? This is like saying you want to eat a roast chicken but could be please not be a chicken, or be roasted? :joy:
It’s from the Lemegeton original grimoire from the 17th century by an anonymous author. That’s a time in history when grimoires were all at least paying lip service to Christianity to stay available. It is what it is. Don’t take it so seriously that you throw out the baby with the bathwater.

In fact, according to this article, we have Christianity to thank for the preservation and spread of Goetic magick in the west at all, through…

… a secret, loosely knit underworld of magical practitioners of priests, monks, and clerics. The knowledge of Latin accompanied with the familiarity of the exercise of exorcism gave these clerics the necessary background, and the secretive literature of the grimoires provided the rituals and technical information

As noted, there’s no consistent relation, but if you try the search on here you’ll find plenty of people who have played the matchy matchy game before you, you can use their UPG if you like. It will work or it won’t. :woman_shrugging:

Here’s someone who wanted to match Egyptian gods and Goetia. (People said the same as they do here: it’s not useful.)

I think it would make more sense to just work with deities directly and cut out the fluff.

Doing work is what you need to get the practice to make you a better mage. :thinking: There’s no such thing as too much practice, imo.

… though in this case you’d be wasting your time, imo, doing the work to prove that to yourself would at the same time expose you to a lot of good learning, a lot more than a spoon fed list.

If it’s a one size fits all you want, try E.A.'s conjuration for any spirit: no sigil, no enn, insert any name you like and rely on your clear intention to get the right guy. (Emphasis on clear thinking, since there’s no other way to clarify the target, this is a good way to get parasites if your spiritual hygiene and mind are not strong.)
