Mt. Zion Chapter 0; Lion Of Zion

Ophiuchus: "David Learns His Lesson About Being A Good Example Before Everyone And Also What It Means To Be The King As A God Instead Of The King As A Lesser Role, As Well As Why He Was Wrong About Both Bathsheba And Absalom, As Well As His Men And What He Was Doing To Saul And The House Of Saul, Even Though It Seemed Good, Plus Why God Did As He Did When Allowing Him To Be The King And Attempting To Establish The House Of God As The City Of David At Mt. Zion In Order To Teach Everyone Else Down The Line Who Ever Becomes A God-King Or Supreme Leader What Their Downfall Will Be Like For Setting A Bad Example." - God-King (Supreme Leader) *Vainglory

Disclaimer: "Envy Is Meant To Fight Over It Utilizing Armageddon." - Mt. Zion (Crown) *Test

"The Glorious City Of Gold Eternally In Motion And Every Alight -- The Holy Furnace Of God Built Up Using All Of His Wisdom That Man Could Muster. Made As A Testing Ground For Man By God To Check For Sins And Refine In The Fires Of Hell In Order To Purge All Sins And To Condemn All Demon Lords So That The Lord May Be Restored And The Pillars Of Virtue May Be Established."

"The Original System Of Hell Based Upon The City Of David, Mt. Zion, Descended Into A State Of Corruption Into 'Bael', And Everlasting Rejuvenator Of The 'Name Of Baal' -- The Abominable 'City Of Babylon'."

The Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Clavicula Salomonis Regis[note 1] or Lemegeton, is an anonymous grimoire (or spell book) on demonology. It was compiled in the mid-17th century, mostly from materials a couple of centuries older.[1][2] It is divided into five books—the Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia-Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria.

Ars Goetia
The most obvious source for the Ars Goetia is Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum in his De praestigiis daemonum. Weyer does not cite, and is unaware of, any other books in the Lemegeton, indicating that the Lemegeton derived from his work, not the other way around.[1][4] The order of the spirits changed between the two, four additional spirits were added to the later work, and one spirit (Pruflas) was omitted. The omission of Pruflas, a mistake that also occurs in an edition of Pseudomonarchia Daemonum cited in Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft, indicates that the Ars Goetia could not have been compiled before 1570. Indeed, it appears that the Ars Goetia is more dependent upon Scot's translation of Weyer than on Weyer's work in itself. Additionally, some material came from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, the Heptameron by pseudo-Pietro d'Abano,[note 2][1][5] and the Magical Calendar.[6]

Weyer's Officium Spirituum, which is likely related to a 1583 manuscript titled The Office of Spirits,[7] appears to have ultimately been an elaboration on a 15th-century manuscript titled Le Livre des Esperitz (30 of the 47 spirits are nearly identical to spirits in the Ars Goetia).[2][5]

In a slightly later copy made by Thomas Rudd (1583?–1656), this portion was labelled "Liber Malorum Spirituum seu Goetia", and the seals and demons were paired with those of the 72 angels of the Shemhamphorasch[3] which were intended to protect the conjurer and to control the demons he summoned.[8] The angelic names and seals derived from a manuscript by Blaise de Vigenère, whose papers were also used by Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers (1854-1918) in his works for the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn[5] (1887–1903). Rudd may have derived his copy of Liber Malorum Spirituum from a now-lost work by Johannes Trithemius,[5] who taught Agrippa, who in turn taught Weyer.

This portion of the work was later translated by S. L. MacGregor Mathers and published by Aleister Crowley under the title The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King. Crowley added some additional invocations previously unrelated to the original work, as well as essays describing the rituals as psychological exploration instead of demon summoning.

The demons are described as being commanded by four kings of the cardinal directions: Amaymon (East), Corson (West), Ziminiar (North), and Gaap (South). A footnote in one variant edition instead lists them as Oriens or Uriens, Paymon or Paymonia, Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon, alternatively known as Samael, Azazel, Azael, and Mahazael (purportedly their preferred rabbinic names).[10] Agrippa's Occult Philosophy lists the kings of the cardinal directions as Urieus (East), Amaymon (South), Paymon (West), and Egin (North); again providing the alternate names Samuel (i.e. Samael), Azazel, Azael, and Mahazuel. The Magical Calendar lists them as Bael, Moymon, Poymon, and Egin,[11][12] though Peterson notes that some variant editions instead list '"Asmodel in the East, Amaymon in the South, Paymon in the West, and Aegym in the North"; "Oriens, Paymon, Egyn, and Amaymon"; or "Amodeo [sic] (king of the East), Paymon (king of the West), Egion (king of the North), and Maimon."'

Ars Theurgia Goetia[edit]
The Ars Theurgia Goetia mostly derives from Trithemius's Steganographia, though the seals and order for the spirits are different due to corrupted transmission via manuscript.[5][13] Rituals not found in Steganographia were added, in some ways conflicting with similar rituals found in the Ars Goetia and Ars Paulina. Most of the spirits summoned are tied to points on a compass, four Emperors tied to the cardinal points (Carnesiel in the East, Amenadiel in the West, Demoriel in the North and Caspiel in the South), sixteen Dukes tied to cardinal points, inter-cardinal points, additional directions between those. There are an additional eleven Wandering Princes, totaling thirty one spirit leaders who each rule several to a few dozen spirits.

Ars Paulina[edit]
Derived from book two of Trithemius's Steganographia and from portions of the Heptameron, but purportedly delivered by Paul the Apostle instead of (as claimed by Trithemius) Raziel. Elements from The Magical Calendar, astrological seals by Robert Turner's 1656 translation of Paracelsus's Archidoxes of Magic, and repeated mentions of guns and the year 1641 indicate that this portion was written in the later half of the seventeenth century.[15][16] Traditions of Paul communicating with heavenly powers are almost as old as Christianity itself, as seen in some interpretations of 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 and the apocryphal Apocalypse of Paul. The Ars Paulina is in turn divided into two books, the first detailing twenty-four angels aligned with the twenty-four hours of the day, the second (derived more from the Heptameron) detailing the 360 spirits of the degrees of the zodiac.

Ars Almadel[edit]
Mentioned by Trithemius and Weyer, the latter of whom claimed an Arabic origin for the work. A 15th-century copy is attested to by Robert Turner, and Hebrew copies were discovered in the 20th century. The Ars Almadel instructs the magician on how to create a wax tablet with specific designs intended to contact angels via scrying.

Ars Notoria[edit]
The oldest known portion of the Lemegeton, the Ars Notoria (or Notory Art) was first mentioned by Michael Scot in 1236 (and thus was written earlier). The Ars Notoria contains a series of prayers (related to those in The Sworn Book of Honorius) intended to grant eidetic memory and instantaneous learning to the magician. Some copies and editions of the Lemegeton omit this work entirely;[19][20] A. E. Waite ignores it completely when describing the Lemegeton.[4] It is also known as the Ars Nova.

"The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Are Released For Judgment Of The King Of The World And The Universe -- The King Of Kings -- At The Great Feast On The Great Day Of The Apocalypse. They Compare The King Of Kings To Themselves Using The Demon Lord System As Well As The Lord, To See If The King Of Kings Is The Lord Of Lords, Or If He Belongs Within The Demon Lord System Under Baal As Bael, OR Even As Belial. Therefore, At The Crossroads That Are Established By The Four Horsemen, Wormwood Is Hurled Down At Armageddon And The Seven Seals For The Seven Angels Of God's Wrath (His Own Seven Spirits) Are Released From The Earth Up Via The Stairway Of Heaven From Luz Because Of Lucifer Bearing The Light Of Baal Over All Mankind Through Reuben From Adam." - Altar

I. "After Bael Is Activated, Then It Must Be Used To Get To Baal Through The Four Greatest Kings -- Which Are The Representations Of The Tetragrammaton; The Four Faces Of God Bearing The Four Primary Elements And The Four Cardinal Directions."

II. "Bael -- The Demon Lord System -- Restarts And Weeds Out Those That Will Become The Next Baal, Who Sets Up The Next Bael. In Order For This To Happen, The Four Faces Of God Must Be Reset After Being Summoned In Order."

III. "When The Demon Lord System Of The Devil Is Reset, The First Sacrifices Are Fed Into It -- Just As Before -- By Sacrificing Those Who Are Considered The Weaker Or Lesser Into Molek, Which Is A Self-Sacrificing And Self-Gratifying Production At The Expense Of The Weak In Order To Cover For A Perpetual Flaw Or Error."

IV. "The Four Horsemen That Control It And Come Together For The Control And Operation Of The System Reset And Restore All Contribute To The Demon God -- Baal -- For The Sake Of The Demon Lord System -- Bael."

Note: "The Four Corners -- The Kings Of The Four Directions -- Being Released From Their Respective Highest Points Of Each Direction And Returned In Order; East (Red), South (Black), West (White), And North (Pale)." - The Four Horsemen (Apocalypse)

0. "With The Bael System Reset By The 'Master Control' -- Who Is The King Of The North -- Each Of The New Rulers That Are Under Baal Must Be Tested On Their Own Rule Of The System By Both Following The 'Master Control' Setup As Well As To Establish Their Own System From The Bottom Up. During This Process, Because The Former 72 Servants And Slaves Were Destroyed Or Made Waste (Because They Were Only For Practice), Using The Stencil Layout, Each Ruler Then Creates His Own Following The Rules Of The King Of The West, Corson, Via 'Manual Overwrite'. They Strictly Follow The Layout Of The Bael System, Yet Also Have The Freedom Of Jurisdiction To Either Replace Members Manually, Kill Them Off Permanently, Or To Rearrange Them In Whatever Order They See Fit. Likewise, They Are Also Tasked With The Command Of Their Servants When They Go To War With Other Systems That May Have Copied The 'Master Control' Stencil, Which Is Practice For Them Because Of The 'Master Control' Stencil Being The Original Setup From The Top Down. Thus, From The Bottom Up And Also To Their Will, The Rulers Begin 'Manual Overwrite' And Are Taught How To Do So Under The Rule Of The King Of The West Rather Than Under The Rule Of The King Of The North, Meaning That The System, Itself, Has Changed Faces And Command To The Next Of The Four Faces. This Means The System Functions Differently And Also The Rules Of The System Are Different Whilst This King Is Set.

The demons are described as being commanded by four kings of the cardinal directions: Amaymon (East), Corson (West), Ziminiar (North), and Gaap (South). A footnote in one variant edition instead lists them as Oriens or Uriens, Paymon or Paymonia, Ariton or Egyn, and Amaymon or Amaimon, alternatively known as Samael, Azazel, Azael, and Mahazael (purportedly their preferred rabbinic names).[10] Agrippa's Occult Philosophy lists the kings of the cardinal directions as Urieus (East), Amaymon (South), Paymon (West), and Egin (North); again providing the alternate names Samuel (i.e. Samael), Azazel, Azael, and Mahazuel. The Magical Calendar lists them as Bael, Moymon, Poymon, and Egin,[11][12] though Peterson notes that some variant editions instead list '"Asmodel in the East, Amaymon in the South, Paymon in the West, and Aegym in the North"; "Oriens, Paymon, Egyn, and Amaymon"; or "Amodeo [sic] (king of the East), Paymon (king of the West), Egion (king of the North), and Maimon."'[11]

There are an additional eleven Wandering Princes, totaling thirty one spirit leaders who each rule several to a few dozen spirits.

In demonology Corson is one of the four principal kings that have power on the seventy-two demons supposedly constrained by King Solomon (according to the Lesser Key of Solomon), and is not to be conjured except on great occasions.

He is the king of the west according to some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon and king of the south according to Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. The other three kings are Amaymon, Ziminiar and Gaap (although some translations of The Lesser Key of Solomon consider Belial, Beleth, Asmodai and Gaap to be the kings of different cardinal directions, not giving detail on the cardinal point they rule).

I. "Corson Is The King Of The West And The White Horseman That Has Control Over Conquest And Pestilence, Which Gives Him Dominion Over All Of The Servants And Slaves -- Especially The 72 Demons And Demon Lords."

II. "Corson Knows How All Of The Ranks Of The System Functions As Well As How To Keep The System Operational, And So Can Both Start The System Or End The System And Reset The System At Leisure, But Is Only At His Most Maximum Value And Potential When The System Has Actually Finished A Process Or Completed An Algorithm Fully."

III. "Corson Revives Demon Lords Through The Devil System And Keeps The Law Of The Demon Lords Continuing Through Bael, And Can Serve As Bael In Place Of Baal Without Being Baal, Yet Being Part Of Baal Only For This Function Or Feature As A Mechanism."

IV. "Corson Can Also Name Positions Or Points That Are Similar To His Task Over The Entire System Within The System, Giving People Greater Power Over Others Just By Being Able To Have Direct Systematic Influence, But Only To Lesser Or More Limited Degrees Than He, Himself, Who Has Control Over Whether The System Is Off Or On At Any Given Time."

Note: "Corson Can Cause The System To Shutdown, Meltdown, Collapse, Recover OR Anything Else Necessary And Teach Others To Do So In Case There Are Flaws That Must Be Dealt With From The Inside Out Manually." - Manual Overwrite (Master Control)

The stencil for the City that Never Sleeps -- Zion, City Of David. The glowing golden light structures that illuminated the entire horizon stole the event that was at the plane of its breadth. Light and shining as it was, it was a city that acted sinfully in the night, and pretended things did not occur in the daytime; where music was always playing, and there were places to frequent all day and night as if it was daytime. Not even for the people, but just for one man to enjoy himself in his 'House Of God' that he made, with the City around it -- King David, Of Israel.

Now, the Spirit Of David was kept in the Star Of David, which was symbolic of the Morning Star as well as the Wisdom Of Solomon. Yet, it seemed like blueprints of the initial design of the Great City of Zion with the Mountain Of The Lord were scattered across the nations to create places like the Kingdom Of Babylon and also to rekindle Canaan, plus even places like Purgatorio and Endsville, which also copy the stencil design, but to no avail due to their fruitless, worthless, sinful, or tainted behaviors.

Where the City Of David was erected, there were the images out in the distance of two other pyramid-looking cities -- one Babylon, the other Canaan. Between them, there was to be a Fourth and a Fifth -- Purgatorio and Endsville -- to make total representation, with Zion in the midst, and each of the others accounting for the Four Faces with Four Corners, as the Holy Temple Design follows through. The Eye Of Providence that bore the Triangle Of Solomon as its ideograph was out and beyond it, looking down from on high as the Vainglory of this time... From Mount Mortis, the Mountain Of The Dead, taller than the other Five Siege Cities.

I. "In Order For The System Under Its Manual Overwrite Process To Be Fully Reset, The Various Treasuries That Have Been Looted By Those That Have Been Part Of The First Setup Must Be Restocked And Redistributed Among The Entirety Of The System So That Everything May Be Set For All Of The Other Parts And Participants Of The System. Therefore, The First Official That Is Sent Out For The Manual Overwrite Process Is One Who Gathers Up All Of The Resources Spread Out Over The Entirety Of The Nation And All Associated Nations And Pools Them In One Place That Is Overseen By He, Himself, To Be Picked From By The Rulers And Used As A Storage Area For All Others Who Need To Invest In The Reserves. His Establishment Is A Reservoir For The Entire System, And He Is The One Who Checks For Who Is Stealing From The System, Using Resourcing Improperly, Destroying Resources Or Claiming The Resources As Their Own And Refusing To Give Back To The System, Thus Causing An Imbalance. Whomever Is Found Doing Any Of These Things Is Immediately 'Manually Overwritten.'" - Hostile Takeover

Andromalius[5] is a mighty Great Earl of Hell, having thirty-six legions of demons at his service. He can bring back both a thief and the stolen goods, punishes all thieves and other wicked people, and discovers hidden treasures, all evilness, and all dishonest dealing. Andromalius is depicted as a man holding a big serpent in his hand.
The Seventy-second Spirit in Order is named Andromalius. He is an Earl, Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man holding a Great Serpent in his Hand. His Office is to bring back both a Thief, and the Goods which be stolen; and to discover all Wickedness, and Underhand Dealing; and to punish all Thieves and other Wicked People and also to discover Treasures that be Hid. He ruleth over 36 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, the which wear thou as aforesaid, etc.

I. "Andromalius Is A Count That Is Made To Keep Thievery From Flourishing In The Ranks And Also To Prevent Thieves From Achieving Any Higher Ranks In The Devil's System."

II. "Andromalius, However, Is Technically A Greater Thief That Only Preys On Other Thieves In Order To Draw Them To Him And Claim All Of The Possessions They Have Stolen Without Having To Rise From His Place."

III. "Raum -- The Demon Of Theft -- Ends Up Being A Servant To Andromalius And Either Enslaved Or Killed, Along With Anyone Who Is Stealing Along With Raum."

IV. "Technically, Andromalius Is Like The 'Black Market', Since All Things Stolen End Up Where He Is And In His Possession, With Those Who Steal For Him Either Becoming Disposed Of Or Dealt With Harshly Every Time They Bring Him Stolen Goods At All."

Note: The Serpent He Has Are The String Of Thieves And Evildoers That Eventually All Come Back To His Control And Possession.
