(12.) Sirri.—The Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince, and
appeareth at first with a Leopard’s head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but
after the command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human
shape, and that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women’s love, and
Women with Men’s love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked
if it be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to
be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.
(13.) BeLetH.—The Thirteenth Spirit is called Beleth (or Bileth, or
Bilet). He is a mighty King and terrible. He rideth on a pale horse with
trumpets and other kinds of musical instruments playing before him. He
is very furious at his first appearance, that is, while the Exorcist layeth his
courage; for to do this he must hold a Hazel Wand in his hand, striking it
out towards the South and East Quarters, make a triangle, A, without the
Circle, and then command him into it by the Bonds and Charges of Spirits
as hereafter followeth. And if he doth not enter into the triangle, A, at
your threats, rehearse the Bonds and Charms before him, and then he will
yield Obedience and come into it, and do what he is commanded by the
Exorcist. Yet he must receive him courteously because he is a Great King,
and do homage unto him, as the Kings and Princes do that attend upon
him. And thou must have always a Silver Ring on the middle finger o1
the left hand held against thy face,’ as they do yet before AMaymon. This
Great King Beleth causeth all the love that may be, both of Men and of
Women, until the Master Exorcist hath had his desire fulfilled. He is of
the Order of Powers, and he governeth 85 Legions of Spirits. His Noble
Seal is this, which is to be worn before thee at working.
(14.) Leraje, or LErarkHA.—The Fourteenth Spirit is called Leraje
(or Leraie). He is a Marquis Great in Power, showing himself in the like-
ness of an Archer clad in Green, and carrying a Bow and Quiver. He
causeth all great Battles and Contests; and maketh wounds to putrefry that
are made with Arrows by Archers. This belongeth unto Sagittary. He
governeth 30 Legions of Spirits, and this is his Seal, etc.
(15.) Exicos.—The Fifteenth Spirit in Order is Eligos, a Great Duke,
and appeareth in the form of a goodly Knight, carrying a Lance, an Ensign,
* To protect him from the flaming breath of the enraged Spirit; the design is given at the
end of the instructions for the Magical Circle, etc., later on in the Goetia.
