These be the 72 Mighty Kings and Princes which King Solomon Commanded into a Vessel of Brass, together with their Legions. Of whom Belial, Bileth, Asmoday, and Gaap, were Chief. And it is to be noted that Solomon did this because of their pride, for he never declared other reason why he thus bound them. And when he had thus bound them up and sealed the Vessel, he by Divine Power did chase them all into a deep Lake or Hole in Babylon. And they of Babylon, wondering to see such a thing, they did then go wholly into the Lake, to break the Vessel open, expecting to find great store of Treasure therein. But when they had broken it open, out flew the Chief Spirits immediately, with their Legions following them; and they were all restored to their former places except Belial, who entered into a certain Image, and thence gave answers unto those who did offer Sacrifices unto him, and did worship the Image as their God, etc.
NOTES
Note 1: Should probably be 30. For these 72 Great Spirits of the Book Goetia are all Princes and Leaders of numbers. -- Mathers
Note 2: Thus in the actual Text. -- Mathers
Note 3: Or "with the Face of a Lion." -- Mathers
Note 4: The horse, or the Markis? -- Crowley
Addendum: Crowley's question, though delivered in a jocular way, is fair enough, since the matter is far from clear from the text. In my opinion, the serpent's tail -- that is, a tail in the shape of the body of a serpent, with a snake's head on its end -- is attached to the lion, not the horse. -- Tyson
Note a: By "Mansions of the Planets," probably the author intends the astrological virtues of the planets in the various houses and signs of the zodiac. In older writings on astrology, the distinction between the zodiac signs and their corresponding houses was seldom made. -- Tyson
Note 5: Perhaps an error for 30. -- Mathers
The actual number is 50; at least it was in 1898. -- Crowley
Addendum: By giving this figure, Crowley was implying a direct knowledge of the demons of the Goetia acquired through experiment in the year mentioned. He certainly did perform evocations of at least some of these demons while a new member of the Golden Dawn. Crowley joined the Golden Dawn in November, 1898. Testing out Mathers' manuscript version of the Goetia must have been one of his first major projects as a magician. He was cautioned by a senior member, Allan Bennett, against meddling with the Goetia but does not appear to have heeded this warning. Bennett subsequently became Crowley mentor and friend, and may have helped him with his rituals. -- Tyson
Note b: By "a Star in a Pentacle," a pentagram within a pentagon is probably intended. Note that infernal or lower demons may appear in human form, animal form, or in the shapes of objects or symbols. Higher spirits do not put on the shapes of beasts or inanimate objects, except in exceptional circumstances. -- Tyson
