It's totally the opposite of this. Inspector Gadget, reimagined with a grimdark feel. Grimdark versions of the TMNT. Their mentor is a Skaven. "They say, Evil prevails when good men fail to act. What they ought to say is, Evil prevails." Grimdark is an adjective derived from the tagline for…
"Civilization must stand up and combat the current collapse of governance, the rise of violence, and the spread of chaos and fear in many parts of the world." -Rudy Giuliani The Lizardmen are a faction in Warhammer Fantasy Battles ; with the coming of the Age of Sigmar they have been re-named "…
Oh, they get even older than this. Old Ones is a term used in fantasy games for the culture that was first on the scene in creation, before the limits of recorded history in the current setting of the game. This culture is always described as awesomely powerful, responsible for shaping entire…
From the mighty Leman Russ and Horus Lupercal to Chaos Warriors and the Sisters of Silence, Warhammer features an abundance of characters who wear what appear to be animal pelts, which just doesn’t add up. The grimdark, battle-hardened warriors are known for their martial prowess – but wearing the…
Hmm... does this look familiar to you? Somewhere between a regular walker and a Titan , the Imperial Knights are large single pilot war machines, similar to the Tau Riptide . Usually humanoid, the cockpit for the pilot is mounted in the head or just behind it in the main body. In other words,…

I’ve been into Magick and occult for a long time now. I’ve learnt a lot, and I’ve encountered all sorts of stuff. One recurring theme was, evocations of the Ninth Goetic King, Paimon. For some reason I had an affinity for this particular Spirit over all other Goetic Demons. The very first ritual I…
This is about the Goetic Evocation of the Duke Gremory. It is the most successful Evocation I have had so far, as well as the most well planned. In my previous Goetia post (you can see it here:) I had mentioned how I hadn’t had the need to Evoke Goetic spirits for a long time. In fact, the last time…
Sometime in 2013, after careful studying and gathering as many materials for the ritual as I could possibly get without breaking the bank…I finally got to work on my first goetic summoning. Most of the items can be obtained easily or even made. Things like swords, knives, white clothes with red…
??? (???) Pronounced ??? Earl governing 36 legions The name of this spirit eludes me. I have seen “strong man,” “evil man,” and even “man-hammer” as translations, and popular titles like Adramelech suggested as possible mythic equivalents. I do not consider any of these accurate, although the…
Amon (AMUN) pronounced "ah -moon." Marquis governing 40 legions A spirit with frightening power. In nearly all references, Amon is identified with the Egyptian god of the same name. Amon, a major deity among the Egyptians, would have been a likely candidate for a young monarch to ensnare in his…
NPhLH (marvelous) pronounced NEEF - lah Duke governing 36 legions. Perhaps one of the least popular of the 72, this spirit teaches crafts and trade-skills. In addition to the skills themselves, the spirit teaches how to apply the labor and how the tools and techniques operate. For a simple example,…
BRYTh (Covenant) pronounced “bah-Reet” Duke governing 26 legions Compare to Baal-Berith (Lord of the Covenant) in abundant sources. The spirit gave no sign of coming into appearance, and there was no sense of its presence. It appeared fully, as if a mirror turned and it was there immediately. It had…
ChYYM (living) pronounced "hha - Eem" President governing 30 legions Somehow this spirit has been, even by educated men, confused with the Bibilcal personage of Cain. I am unclear as to why this is said, but it is patently false as well as being somewhat absurd. It bears mention here only in that it…
(BOL) pronounced "Ba-al" King with 66 Legions East The conjuration was performed during a day of strong winds. I covered the windows and laid the circle out on the new bamboo floor. If you ever have the opportunity to install new flooring and expect to save money on the installation, just forget it…
AMDY+DUKH (Pressed Together) pronounced Ah-mah-DEE DOO-kah Duke governing 29 Legions This spirit (also rendered "Amdukias") embodies the essential nature of the Unicorn: the limits of righteous action, and ruin caused by unrestraint. I doubt there is any living adult who is not familiar with the…
GUTs + YUN (Little Dove) pronounced "Goots - yohn" The terms of conjuration for any spirit clearly state that it should appear in "fair and comely shape," along with other admonitions that the appearance should not include disturbing images. Nonetheless, some are described as having the appearance…
OShH (Make, Do) pronounced "Oh-say" President Commanding 30 Legions East It has been said that there are three paths of Wisdom. The first is that of the Materialist, who identifies with the belief that all things are contained within the universe, and are a part of that universe. Whether in chaos or…
SIUR (tour) pronounced "See - ur" Prince commanding 26 Legions East This was, unfortunately, a very disappointing encounter. There were difficulties from beginning to end. First, though, the description of the spirit. It is said to appear as a "beautiful man" riding a winged horse. Doubtless my…
34. Furfur PRPR (Butterfly) pronounced PAR-par Earl Commanding 26 Legions South The text in the Goetia regarding conditions for the ceremony says that Earls may be called at "any hour of the Day, so be it in the Woods, or any other places whither men resort not, or where no noise is." Such a…
MURM+OR ("raised awake") pronounced Mur'-am + ur This spirit was conjured on November 1st, considered the feast of saints among Catholics, and this entry was written some two weeks following from my pencil notes gathered at the time. At some point in the past few years, I came to gradually…
BLY - YOL (without worth) pronounced "bel-EE ya-AL" King Commanding 80 Legions South I had not intended to conjure this spirit until very recently, when it began to seem like a reasonable or even necessary course of action. Before coming to the ceremony itself, I must first digress and say a few…
OVLL (perpetrate) pronounced "Ouh-lall" Duke commanding 37 Legions West Some of the spirits of the Vessel of Brass are permitted special privileges. Some are able to harm, betray, or deceive the magician, under particular conditions, and some are able to circumvent the securities and charges of the…
Zagan ZYYPN (coin-forger) pronounced "Zye-fon" King and President commanding 33 Legions North and West Sometimes the things described by occult literature appear to have no place in reality, or they appear to be plausible yet sit comfortably just beyond the realm of what is ordinarily considered…
BOR (ablaze) pronounced "Boo-air" President commanding 50 Legions South This spirit is said to appear during the sign of Sagittarius. Crowley indicates that this is the only time during which the spirit can be bound. Whether he ever tried at some other time to conjure the spirit and failed, I am…
PVRH+ KLH (flying termination) Duke Commanding 30 Legions The seal of this spirit bears the Roman numerals XLI, and this is the 41st spirit in order. I doubt that this is coincidence, and I also doubt that it is especially significant. My previous work in the art of Goetia has been to come to an…
AYM (Terrors) pronounced ah-EEM Duke Commanding 26 Legions South The name of this spirit was my first clue, long ago, that the names of these spirits might be actual words in Hebrew. The word "terrors" seemed appropriate for a spirit that dishes out gossip on private matters and sets places on fire.…
PYM + UN (Little Coin) pronounced "Peem - on" King governing 200 legions North and West Some have speculated that the name of the spirit is Persian, meaning "promise." That is true, but it is not the origin of the spirit or its name, nor is it appropriate to give an oriental name to a spirit of the…
Bime #26 Bime (BYMH) "stage" Duke governing 30 legions It is said that Bime appears as a "dragon with three heads: one like a dog, one like a gryphon, and one like a man." Compare this image to that given by Mathias Flacius in his rebuke of the Hapsburgs and the Interim law of Charles V, in which…
Marquis 30 Legions North The Greek name "Andreas" (strong) is probably related to the name of the spirit Andras, which I am now convinced is identical to the Celtic goddess Andraste, whose name is commonly translated as "invincible." With a few of the other spirits, it was somewhat difficult to…
MOL-PSh (Betray Rest) pronounced “Ma-All-pees” President governing 40 legions Arabic legend declares that the Goetia, the catalogue of spirits and their bindings, was supposedly written by two spirits named Harut and Marut, who persuaded the Babylonians into idolatries with instruction in secret…
ABN + ASh (Flaming Stone) pronounced "ah-ven esh" President Commanding 36 Legions South The spirit sought in this conjuration is described foremost as one who can provide knowledge of astrology. The spirit has several other powers, but this one is given special note and was my initial inspiration…
OShTRTh (Astaroth) pronounced "Osh-tar-ot" Duke Commanding 40 Legions West What is the meaning and purpose of magic? Is it a secret advantage? A remedy for inadequacy? A neglected birthright? I see magic approached in the modern world as if it were all of these things. One person will use magic to…
Eligor #15 ALYL + GUR (Whelp Idol) pronounced ah - LEEL - gur Duke governing 60 legions This spirit commands one of the larger number of servitors, topped by #1 (66 legions), #9 (200 legions), #13 (85 legions), #32 (72 legions), #33 (66 legions), #43 (80 legions), and #68 (80 legions), of which all…
BLOM (Balaam) pronounced "Bal- 'om" King Commanding 40 Legions South I have called the spirit of Balaam, who was the last holy prophet of the nations in the days of the Exodus, brother to the first king of Edom. In the grand tradition of the Bible repeating themes, Edom is the "wicked older brother"…
PUR - KS (Beautified) pronounced Poor - cas Knight governing 20 legions. This is the second time I have called the knight. At the first occasion, about five years ago, I made several minor errors while attempting to secure his aid in a philosophical debate. Out of ignorance, I had made the triangle…
DN + ThLYYN (judge hangman) pronounced DON-tal-YON Duke commanding 36 legions In addition to expanding the scope of operations when requesting service from the spirits, there are applications hinted but not fully described by the text. The 71st spirit has several subtle powers that border on the…
ARY ATz (Lion Tree) pronounced AH-ree 'tz Marquis governing 30 legions. The name "Oriax" as given in the grimoire presented some dilemma for translation that was not finally resolved until the spirit itself was conjured. This spirit is probably one of the oldest of the spirits mentioned exclusively…
BTh-OYN (House of the Eye) pronounced “Bet Ah-eeen” Duke governing 30 Legions The name of the spirit Bathin is often rendered with alternate English spellings, Bathyn or Mathin for example. This occurs frequently in the Lemegeon as unfamiliar Hebrew words are inaccurately transcribed into the…
TzOLYM (depths) pronounced Tsoh-lah-eem Prince commanding 26 Legions East The Hebrew rendering of this name supposes that a copyist could not accurately decipher the Yud from a Vav, or the final Mem from a Samekh. I have never had much interest in herbs or plants, but in the past few months my wife…
