A Modern Goetic Grimoire
Introduction
The Magician Apprentice
It was a dark and stormy night. Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the
heavens.
I sat on the floor of my cookie-cutter rental townhouse in a suburb of Baltimore
surrounded by flat-white painted drywall and generic beige carpet. Around me on the
floor were scattered a cheap gray and green plastic compass, a blue protractor, a
mechanical pencil, and sketch books covered in arcane symbols, half-drawn seals, and
notes on magical circles. Within reach were a box of raisins, some dates, a coil of Cedar
Grass, and a packet of incense that claimed to include lignum aloes, but smelled
suspiciously of sandalwood. A brass pot wasn't too far away, the eventual home of the
ingredients I had gathered. It sat on a carefully printed out enlarged picture of the
Triangle of Art from the Goetia.
It was my first Goetic operation of note. Honestly, it was technically my third
attempt at magic from the Lemegeton's Goetia, but the first two don't count. The first was
an attempt to get a house, performed loosely using "Chaos Magic Techniques." After
performing the rite and telling the demon to return in a month to report on its progress, I
banished all thought of the Work to avoid the dreaded "lust for results" I was so
concerned about.
A month passed and the demon returned; I had quite forgotten about it, and it
playfully sank its tusks through my arm in a dream. (Did I mention it appeared as a sea
lion with foot-long tusks in a dream I was having about swimming in the Caribbean?) I
promptly freaked out and banished the thing to the best of my abilities. I had no idea what

had happened, and it took some time to figure it out. That was my first inkling that these
things were really real and not just a figment of my imagination.
My second conjuration attempt consisted of carefully writing out a charge to the
Spirit Bune to make me win the lottery. I was being original, you see. This time, I figured
I'd use some traditional techniques, since the chaos method had been such a dismal
failure. I had been reading about Greek Magical Papyri and Defixiones, and so I printed
the spirit's seal out, printed out its charge, rolled them up with some lottery tickets I
bought, and nailed it to the doorpost of my house.
I didn't realize that the technique I had borrowed was to bind a spirit, that iron is
anathema to spirits of the Goetia, or that buying five quick picks and nailing them to a
script I hadn't read with a seal of a spirit I hadn't conjured wouldn't result in much of
anything. When it failed, I took the seal of the spirit, set the stove to 200 degrees, and
threw it in on a baking sheet to punish the spirit for failing to get me the winnings I had
demanded. I still have the toasted seal around as a reminder of what can happen when
you're stupid. (That is, nothing. Nothing at all will happen from stupid magic. If you're
lucky.)
But this time, things were different. I had read a lot more, and I had gone through
a spiritual initiation that had completely changed my understanding of magic in general.
Again I was conjuring Bune, but this time I was actually going to
conjure
him. I had
spent days drawing the seal, getting used to fitting all the crosses and circles and triangles
all together in the weird shape with the smiley face on one end and what looked like two
bee stings on the other. I was using Crowley's "corrected" image from he and Mathers'
translation.
