Diary Entry
20th January 1999 e.v.
The evocation was to be in the form utilizing a black mirror set
into a Goetic triangle, which I have constructed from wood in the
colours as given in the Goetia. Also the sword was replaced by an
ostrich feather (This being my interpretation of the self-portrait
by Aleister Crowley evoking the spirit Paimon.) The feather would
further represent the Ma(at) principle, which I feel is in line
with the general symbolism of the sword. The triangle would
further be charged by the Chain, Scourge, and Dagger. The incense
was a blend containing Sandalwood and Dittany Of Crete etc. The
circle was constructed form salt and charged with a magnetic wand
that I have constructed for use in evocation.

Note
During the construction of the seal there were again electrical
problems in the house this time being the shower starting on its
own and having to be replaced.
The entity came easily and had a calm positive nature. It's
appearance was clear and stood out from the mirror, it was a
whitish gray like stone.
What is your nature?
Ophiel: My nature is of dreams and swift.
What do you mean by this?
Ophiel: I mean I am the inspiration of men, I can give men the
necessary to be.
How would I call on this inspiration?
Ophiel: By the use of the seal ( seal appears in mirror)
Sigil of Ophiel
Ophiel: I am dream and swift, I can take anything you would want
to be known to any one in the world!
You have then the nature of a messenger?
Ophiel: A divine messenger
I then concluded the ritual and gave the license to depart. I then
performed Liber Adohi as I had to begin and concluded the working.
Note
This ritual had a very different quality to the Evocation of Phul,
and left me with a very peaceful but exhilarated state of being
for some time after.
