Lord Carnesiel
By Tristan Butler
Carnesiel is a spirit from the book known as Theurgia Goetia. He is referred to in the book as an
"Aerial Spirit" though there is no explanation as to what that means exactly. Though we know his
nature is neither good nor evil but a mixture of both as is human nature. But then again, I don't
believe such a thing as "good" or "evil" truly exists. Everything in duality is a matter of
perspective and all meaning is relative.
The Theurgia Goetia says that Carnesiel quite literally can do whatsoever we wish him to do and
can accomplish all tasks to which we assign him. In his book Demons of Deception, Corwin
Hargrove employs these spirits specifically for deceptive purposes and to excellent effect.
However here I seek to explore Carnesiel's powers more fully and in a format that has proven to
be very effective.
When you call Carnesiel using these words it is as if you are enshrouding yourself in a cloak of
divine wind that at once protects you, grants you divine authority, and directs your magickal
intentions to fulfill their goal with sparkling effectiveness and satisfying success. Your will is your
sword. This ritual gives you the power to wield it to cut through the illusory binds of limitation to
fulfill whatsoever wishes you desire.
Almost all if not all of the spirits we call upon can be used to great effect for more purposes than
are listed for them in the grimoire. Just like a human being who is a plumber can also deliver food
or cut your grass or cook you a meal. It may not be the best meal, but it would fill you up just the
same and bring you satisfaction.
Carnesiel can enhance your psychic abilities and bring you knowledge regarding matters of
interest.
Carnesiel can bring wealth in the form of gifts, employment, or random acts of good luck.
Carnesiel can also inspire one you desire to take interest in you, though as always, you will have
to do your part by actually speaking to and pursuing them, dressing nicely, not being a jerk, ect.
The Ritual Method for Theurgia Goetia Words of Power:
1. Tune in to how you are feeling in your current state. Feel what brought you to this magick regardless of what it is. Breathe
and tune into your current state of being.
2. Feel what your desire is and feel that sensation of lacking your desire. How does it make you feel emotionally? Allow those
emotions to arise fully and without restrictions.
3. Begin to scan the sigil. Starting at the top on the left side of the black dot, scan the outer circle counter clockwise. When
done, scan the triangle starting from the bottom of the right side of the triangle, to the top, and then down the left side. Then
right to left on the bottom.
4. Gaze at the sigil of the spirit in the center of the triangle and know that therein lies the power to resolve whatever problem
you have. To fulfill whatever lack you are feeling. This sigil is bursting with power to help you and a desire to do so. Feel a
sense of gratitude welling up for that.
