Here are two charms which the German witches used to repeat to raise the devil with in the form of a he goat:
“Lalle, Bachea, Magotte, Baphia, Dajam,
Vagoth Heneche Ammi Nagaz, Adomator
Raphael Immanuel Christus, Tetragrammaton
Agra Jod Loi. Konig! Konig!”
The two last words to be screamed out quickly. This second one, it must be remembered, is to be read backward except the two last words. It was supposed to be the strongest of all, and was used if the first one failed:
“Anion, Lalle, Sabolos, Sado, Poter, Aziel,
Adonai Sado Vagoth Agra, Jod,
Baphra! Komm! Komm!”
In case the devil staid too long, he could be made to take himself off by addressing to him the following statement, repeated backward:
“Zellianelle Heotti Bonus Vagotha
Plisos sother osech unicus Beelzebub
Dax! Komm! Komm!”
Which would evidently make almost anybody go away.
A German charm to improve one’s finances was perhaps no worse than gambling in gold. It ran thus:
“As God be welcomed, gentle moon—
Make thou my money more and soon!”
