How to summon Amdusias

Who Is Amdusias?

Amdusias (also spelled Amdukias or Amduscias) is the 67th spirit named in the Ars Goetia, the first book of the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon.
He is portrayed as a duke of Hell commanding 29 legions of spirits, appearing with the head of a unicorn and carrying a trumpet.

Amdusias is traditionally associated with music, thunder, and transformation. Ancient descriptions claim he could make trees bend or reveal hidden treasures, while invisible orchestras of trumpets were said to announce his presence.
These portrayals reflect the rich symbolic imagination of medieval and Renaissance occultism rather than verifiable phenomena.

Historical Context in the Ars Goetia

The Ars Goetia forms part of The Lesser Key of Solomon, a compilation of magical writings that catalog 72 spirits said to be summoned by King Solomon. Each spirit represents a set of archetypal powers or human faculties, interpreted today through the lenses of mythology, psychology, and symbolism.

In the case of Amdusias, the imagery of music and thunder embodies the harmony and disruption of natural forces — a poetic metaphor for the creative and chaotic aspects of sound and inspiration.

Traditional Framework (Symbolic Summary)

Grimoires like the Ars Goetia describe elaborate systems of ceremonial magic. These were not merely supernatural claims but structured spiritual exercises combining meditation, symbolism, and ritual language.

Historical manuscripts outline several elements that were believed to ensure focus and safety:

      • Timing and Atmosphere: Operations associated with Amdusias were aligned with Wednesday and the planet Mercury, both connected to intellect and communication.

      • Preparation: Practitioners purified themselves through fasting, meditation, or abstinence to focus intent.

      • Sacred Space: A circle and triangle symbolized divine authority and containment, marked with sacred names for psychological protection.

      • Tools: Traditional implements included a wand or sword, incense such as myrrh and frankincense, and a sigil (a symbolic seal representing Amdusias).

      • Offerings: Bread, wine, and a musical instrument — often a trumpet — were symbolic gestures acknowledging his mythic connection to sound and art.

    Choose a Time and Place: Conduct the ritual during the hour of Amdusias (assigned to Wednesday, under Mercury’s influence). Select a secluded, dark room free of interruptions. Fast for 24 hours beforehand to purify the body.
    Gather Materials:

    Mental State: Meditate on Amdusias’s attributes. Visualize his unicorn form and trumpet. Recite preliminary prayers to align with divine will (e.g., the Bornless Ritual for protection).

    Drawing the Circle

    In a 9-foot diameter, draw a double circle on the floor using the knife. Inscribe Hebrew names of God (e.g., Adonai, El, Tetragrammaton) between the rings.
    Inside, place a triangle facing east, with the sigil of Amdusias at its apex.
    Stand within the circle, facing east, with your tools arranged.

    The Invocation

    Stand in the circle and recite this adapted conjuration (from Crowley’s The Goetia, a common English translation; pronounce with authority):

    “I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Amdusias; and being with power armed from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachia, and Apologiae Sedes; by the most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidae, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode; and by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion, I do invoke thee, and by invocating conjure thee. And being armed with power from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Him Who spake and it was done, and unto whom all creatures be obedient. Also I, being made after the image of God, endued with power from God and created according unto His will, do exorcise thee by that most mighty and powerful name of God, El, strong and wonderful; O thou Spirit Amdusias. And I command thee and Him who spake the Word and His Fiat was accomplished, and by all the names of God. Also by the names Adonai, El, Elohim, Elohi, Ehyeh, Asher Ehyeh, Zabaoth, Elion, Iah, Tetragrammaton, Shaddai, Lord God Most High, I do exorcise thee and do powerfully command thee, O thou Spirit Amdusias, that thou dost forthwith appear unto me here before this Circle in a fair human shape, without any deformity or tortuosity. And by this ineffable name, Tetragrammaton Iehovah, do I command thee, at once to obey my commands, and that thou comest quickly, and that thou fall not upon me, nor upon any man or woman present here. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably, now, and without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire. For thou art conjured by the name of the Living and True God, Helioren, wherefore fulfil thou my commands, and persist thou therein unto the end, and according to mine interest, visibly and affably speaking unto me with a voice clear and intelligible, without any ambiguity.”

    Repeat three times if no manifestation occurs, increasing intensity.
    Manifestation and Command

    Signs of Presence: Expect auditory phenomena like distant trumpets, bending shadows, or a chill wind. Visually, he may appear as a unicorn or a crowned man with a trumpet.
    Interaction: Once present in the triangle, state your request clearly (e.g., “Reveal the location of [treasure] or play music to inspire”). Offer the prepared gifts.
    Dismissal: End with: “O thou Spirit Amdusias, I thank thee for thy obedience. Depart in peace to thy abodes, harming none. By the power of Adonai, go forth!”

    Closing the Ritual

    Erase the circle counterclockwise.
    Bury or burn remnants (sigil, offerings).
    Perform a banishing ritual, such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, to clear residual energies.

    Modern Adaptations and Cautions

    In contemporary occultism (e.g., chaos magic or Thelemic traditions), practitioners simplify this: Use visualization, sigil meditation, or entheogens instead of physical circles. Books like The Goetia by Aleister Crowley or Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield offer streamlined versions.
    Warnings: Historical texts emphasize risks—unprotected rituals could invite deception or psychological distress. Amdusias is not “malevolent” per the Goetia but unpredictable. Consult mental health professionals if engaging
