NOTES
Note a: The lamen is a talisman worn around the neck in the form of a medallion pendant. Its primary purpose is to give the magician the power of command over spirits, particularly infernal spirits more apt to pose a danger when evoked. Each of the 72 demons of the hellish dark reflection of the Shemhamphorash is ruled by its own sigil, the symbol that appears beside the description of the demon. This ruling sigil of the demon is to be inscribed upon a disk that is worn around the neck on a chain or cord. The sigil represents in graphic form the true name of the demon, its fundamental identity, and having knowledge of this symbol, and power over it, the magician can by occult sympathy control the demon. -- Tyson
