Correspondences of Goetic spirits
I’m going to give you the correspondences that I use with the Goetia. I’m certain there are probably a great deal of differences from one practioners to another. These are the correspondences I use when preparing for a working.
It is not necessary of course to have the proper candle color or proper incense to evoke a spirit successfully, yet I can report that having the right set of correspondences on your altar does seem to make it easier to establish a quality psychic connection to the spirit.
Rank
Kings: metal: Gold , color : yellow, planet: sun incense: frankincense
Princes: metal: tin , color: blue , planet : Jupiter , incense: cedar
Dukes: metal : copper, color: green, planet: Venus, incense: sandlewood
Marquis: metal: silver, color : violet, planet: moon , incense: jasmine
Earls: metal: silver or copper , color : red, planet: mars, incense: dragon’s blood
Knights: metal: lead, planet: Saturn, color: black , incense: myrrh
Presidents: metal: mercury, color: orange, planet: mercury, incense: storax
I usually adorn my altar with the corresponding card from my deck of the occult tarot because they have excellent illustrations of the individual spirits.
All these correspondences help get you in the right frame of mind and the right place mentally to have a solid evocation. For those of you who wish to experiment with using the appropriate colored altar cloths,. Incenses, ect I think you’ll be well rewarded for the extra effort.
Again I repeat it is not strictly necessary however. I’m just giving you my methods.
