"...that you come immediately and without delay in the form of a little man, without hurt, trembling, or fear whatsoever, either to my body or my soul or to any of my members. I again adjure thee by the extraordinary portion of joy which the Lord allotted to the Angel Michael and the Angel Gabriel The archangels Michael and Gabriel are frequently invoked in these texts to command lesser spirits, acting as the 'authority' the practitioner borrows. in the grade of holiness."
Thereupon immediately there will come the spirit that understands and listen to your commands, and tell you all you desire. He will come in human form at all times that you wish to speak to him; as for thee, ask whatever thou choosest, and he will answer truthfully, in humility, and with cheerful heart.
Of Conjurations we have the following typical form (from folio 23 b-24 a):
original Hebrew: "עוד משביע אני עליכם בשם בורא את הכל..."
"I furthermore conjure you in the name of the Creator of All, the Fashioner of All, and the Maker of All, the Possessor of All, the Beginning and End of All, possessing and none possessing Him, the Fashioner and not fashioning Him, the producer and none producing Him, Lord and none lord to Him, Ruler and none ruling Him, He the cause of existence, and none the cause of His Existence, the First and no first to Him, the Last and none after Him; the Creator, and all are His creatures; the Fashioner, and all are His formations; the Possessor, and all are His possessions; the Maker, and all things are made by Him; the Worker, and all are His works; Lord, and all are His servants; Ruler, and over all is His dominion; the Source of Existence, and all exist by Him; the Cause, and all is the effect of this Cause; all shall pass away, but He lives and remains to all everlasting, Selah! Selah is a Hebrew word of uncertain meaning, often used in the Psalms to signal a liturgical pause or to emphasize 'forever.' (I adjure you) that you stir not from this spot until you fulfil my desire and will, my command and request, which is So and So, etc."
Another class of conjuration, different in so far that it adjures by means of Cabbalistic Referring to Kabbalah, a tradition of Jewish mysticism. In this context, it refers to the use of secret names and spiritual genealogies to exert power. Names in place of being a direct appeal to the "Creator of All," will be found on folio 45 a:
original Hebrew: "עוד נשביע אותך וננזור עליך פִילִיט (נ"א ביליד) בן אנט..."
"We further adjure you and bind you, Pilit (otherwise known as Bilet) son of Ant, son of Nashron, son of Shemalon, son of Minkuam, son of Yukar, son of Shimsha, son of Na’adam, son of Batel, son of Bashbash, son of Ishrud, son of Mara, son of Ashmedai Also known as Asmodeus, the 'King of Demons' in Jewish lore, famously bound by King Solomon to help build the Temple., son of Shuniron (also called Shomron), who were princes over all the angels and emperors; for he ruled in the days of Solomon and in the days of the Prophetae original: "פרופיטאיי" - a Hebrew transliteration of the Latin word for Prophets.—that is to say, the Prophets—and then by many deeds he ruled over you. I adjure you with strength and all those close to you. Furthermore, I adjure you, Bilet, that you come to my aid for the sake of the honor of your father Ant, and for the sake of the honor of your mother Naamah In Jewish tradition, Naamah is often identified as a demoness of beauty or the sister of Tubal-cain; she is frequently cited as a mother of demons., with goodwill and not in anger, with joy and not in sorrow, etc., in truth and not in falsehood, to do that which I have desired, etc."
