Sum amico huic domui  •  I am a friend to this house

I hope my dime-store Latin is at least somewhat accurate :/  The rest of it feels a little cobbled together:

  • Ancor, Anacor … these are two angels normally seen as part of a triad (at the very least. Sometimes even more). What happened to Anelos/Anylos
  • Candones helosi … this is another angelic name/title (i think), and it comes from the Ars Notoria’s Oration of the Physical Art, which is about divining “perfect knowledge of any disease.” I have never seen this used outside this context, so I would love any references to other uses people might be able to share!
  • et vos eleutis phugori … I have no idea. I mean, et vos translates to “and you..” so, I assume eleutis phugori is the name of a spiritual entity, but can’t find any other references to it outside this comic (or any others inside the comic, for that matter).

Overall, this appears to be an invocation of 4 entities (angelic or otherwise) to either authenticate/vouch-for the claims of his incantation or to stand as judges of his supplication. That is, assuming “eleutis phugori” is another angelic/ethereal entity. As I said above, I haven’t been able to find references to it anywhere.

With thanks to graycloak.

replied to your post “Hey do you hav a more detailed pic of the seal of Solomon?? :)”

The best place to look would be the Lesser Key of Solomon, 14th Century index of demons and binding sigils. Author unknown. I hear Aleister Crowley’s translation is quite good.

Thank you, hoary-hosts-of-hogwarts.

I hope this helps, this-natural-life

To add some confusion to the issue, there are different images titled “Seal of Solomon” depending on context. 

(lots of images, so I’m dropping a read-more line for the sake of dashboard brevity)

Keep reading

Thank you again to graycloak for the very informative post.
