![]() ![]() Speaking the incantation will cause the earth in surrounding vicinity to violently shake, until the demon is able to manifest in a nearest, suitable vessel. The incantation is in Latin, like most incantations to summon demons. It required a bowl of burning coal atop a sigil, the blood of the exorcist, the heart of a dog, and an incantation. This ritual was described by a white witch to be the strongest summoning ritual she has ever seen, because the spell can even summon a demon that was cast to the deepest side of Hell. This ritual summons a demon that has previously been exorcised. ![]() The instructions to summon an exorcised demon. to likewise bind them before me! Exorcised Demon ![]() ad ligandum eos pariter eos coram me! Rough translation. The incantation was rather short and only one line was clearly audible. It requires several lit candles, a bowl of mixed ingredients atop a Baphomet symbol, which is a goat head inside a pentagram. This was performed by a young witch named Trevor. This ritual summons any demon that answers the invocation. The Incantation is:ĭaemon, esto subjecto voluntati meae! Rough translation: Demon, submit (yourself) unto my bidding! Any Demon However, in Captives when summoning the crossroad demon possessing Snooki, Sam uses an incantation which later the incantation also used for summoning various Crossroads in further episodes. Unlike most demon summoning rituals, summoning crossroad demons do not require incantations-with the exception being the King of Crossroads, Crowley, who is summoned with a different ritual altogether. Sometimes it is necessary that Yarrow flowers be planted at the crossroads it helps in the ritual, though it seems to not be a necessary component. The box must contain a picture of the mortal wishing to make a deal, graveyard dirt, and a bone from a black cat or milk from a black cow. This ritual requires a crossroad and that a box with specific ingredients be buried in the middle of it. This is usually done to strike a deal or, in the case of hunters, to retract or negotiate other deals or to capture a demon involved in a deal. K.This ritual specifically summons crossroad demons. BDB is usually a bit careful with translating names but in this case firmly states Entire Removal as meaning for Azazel.Īnother possibility (forwarded by T. Knowing goats, the banished scapegoat would probably B-line straight back to the Israeli herd (also not an unbiblical idea see Proverbs 26:11 and Matthew 12:43-45).īDB Theological Dictionary and HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament refer to an Arabic verb azala, meaning to banish or remove. When all the doings were done, the goat would probably wander off while the Israelites realized that all they could do with sin is distantiate themselves from it and let God lead it away to wherever he would want it to go. The beauty of the Levitical scapegoat is that the goat itself was completely oblivious to what it was supposed to do. The etymology of the rabbis is most likely false, and their goat-slinging is also a bit over the top, so to speak. The Oxford Companion to the Bible reports that since in the Midrash the scapegoat was supposed to be hurled over a cliff, the rabbis decided that the word azazel meant Precipice. Since Azazel as a personage is so hotly debated, the origin and meaning of the name is immediately unclear as well. ![]() □Etymology and meaning of the name Azazel If the second goat is "for" Azazel, Leviticus 16:8 would violate an enormous volley of laws and ordinances, including the First Commandment (Exodus 20:3-6, also see Exodus 22:20, 2 Chronicles 34:25, 1 Corinthians 10:20, and for a similar ritual that certainly doesn't involve a secondary personage, see the law of the scapebird in Leviticus 14:1-7). It's not unusual in the Bible to name spirit-beings (think for instance of the angels Michael and Gabriel) but that Azazel was probably not a recognized demon/angel is argued by Leviticus 16:8, where two lots are cast over two goats one goat is for YHWH and the other is either "to be" the scapegoat or is "for" Azazel. In the Midrash - the ancient homiletic commentary on the Hebrew Scriptures - Azazel is deemed a demon. "In the Ethiopian book of Enoch," says the Oxford Companion to the Bible, "Azazel is a fallen angel". Both appear in the Bible as seemingly ordinary yet rare and highly specialized words, which so appealed to the imagination of the audience that corresponding personages were invented and subsequently written about as if they had existed all along.Īzazel is a word that is commonly translated with our (specially invented) word scapegoat. Whether Azazel is a Biblical name or not is not immediately clear, although Azazel as a phenomenon possibly went through a similar evolution as did Lilith. ![]()
