Kosmokrates, Part 2

Next 6:

7) Sphandôr; "Weaken[s] the strength of the shoulders, and cause[s] them to tremble; and I paralyze the nerves of the hands, and I break and bruise the bones of the neck. And I, I suck out the marrow"; 'Araêl, imprison Sphandôr,' banishes him back to Hell.

8) Belbel; He corrupts the hearts and minds of men, turning them on each other; "If I hear the words, 'Araêl, imprison Belbel,' I at once retreat."

9) Kurtaêl; Sends "colics in the bowels" and produces pains; 'Iaôth, imprison Kurtaêl,' will send him on his way.

10) Metathiax; Causes kidney infections; 'Adônaêl, imprison Metathiax,' subdues him and sends him back to Hell.

11) Katanikotaêl; Create “strife and wrongs in men's homes, and send on them hard temper”; to vanquish him, write on seven laurel leaves the “name of the angel that frustrates” him, as well as: “Iae, Ieô, sons of Sabaôth, in the name of the great God let him shut up Katanikotaêl”. Then wash the laurel-leaves in water, and sprinkle the house with the water, from within to the outside.

12) Saphathoraél; Inspire “partisanship in men, and delight[s] in causing them to stumble”; Writing on paper the names of the angels Iacô, Iealô, Iôelet, Sabaôth, Ithoth, Bae, and then folding it and wearing it round the neck or against the ear causes Saphathoraél to flee.
