Cimeies (also spelled Cimejes, Cimex, or Kimaris) is the 66th spirit described in the Ars Goetia, the first section of the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon. He is depicted as a warrior riding a black horse, often portrayed as a valiant Marquis of Hell commanding 20 legions of spirits. According to the text, Cimeies specializes in teaching grammar, logic, rhetoric, and the liberal sciences; revealing lost treasures; providing familiars; and granting the ability to make one a skilled warrior or horseman. He is said to be more obedient to the summoner than other demons and speaks with a clear, eloquent voice.
Summoning demons like Cimeies is a concept from historical occult grimoires and should be approached as folklore or ritual magic, not literal supernatural practice. Modern interpretations often view it symbolically (e.g., for personal empowerment or meditation). If attempting, prioritize safety, consent, and psychological preparation—many practitioners emphasize that “summoning” is an internal process. Below is a step-by-step guide synthesized from traditional sources like the Ars Goetia and related Solomonic magic texts. This is for educational purposes only.
Preparation

Purification and Fasting: Fast for 24-48 hours beforehand, abstaining from meat, alcohol, and sexual activity. Bathe in salt water or herbal infusions (e.g., hyssop, rosemary) to cleanse yourself spiritually. This aligns with Solomonic traditions to create a “pure vessel.”
Timing and Astrology: Perform the ritual during a waxing moon (for manifestation) on a Tuesday (Mars day, fitting for a warrior spirit). Check astrological alignments: Cimeies is associated with the zodiac sign Aquarius and the planet Venus—avoid if afflicted (e.g., retrograde Venus).
Tools and Circle:

Protective Circle: Draw a nine-foot diameter circle on the ground using chalk, flour, or salt. Inside, inscribe a triangle of art (an equilateral triangle pointing east) for the spirit to appear. Surround with names of power: Tetragrammaton, Adonai, Elohim, and the Seal of Solomon.
Items Needed:

Black-handled knife or wand (for tracing signs).
Incense: Frankincense and myrrh (for purification and invocation).
Candles: Two black (for banishing) and one white (for illumination), placed at circle points.
Robes: White linen for purity.
Cimeies’ Seal: Draw or engrave his sigil (a complex geometric design resembling a crowned lion on a horse—search for “Cimeies sigil” for visuals) on virgin parchment with red ink. Place it in the triangle.
Offerings: Bread, wine, or blood (symbolic, like red ink) as tribute.




Mental State: Meditate on your intent (e.g., “Grant me knowledge of rhetoric”). Ground yourself with breathing exercises to avoid fear or delusion.

The Ritual
Perform in a quiet, undisturbed space at midnight. All actions occur within the circle—never step out until dismissal.

Opening and Invocation:

Enter the circle clockwise, facing east. Light candles and incense.
Recite the Preliminary Invocation (from The Lesser Key of Solomon) or a general call:

“I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Cimeies; 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…”




Specific Conjuration of Cimeies:

Hold his seal aloft and chant his description three times:

“Cimeies, great Marquis of the Infernal Regions, who commandeth thirty legions of spirits, appear thou now before this circle in a fair and comely shape, without deformity or horror, to answer truly and without falsehood all my demands. By the power of the Seal which I hold, and by the name of the Most High, come thou peaceably and without terror, Cimeies!”


Visualize him manifesting in the triangle: a crowned warrior on a black horse, armed with a sword.


Communication:

Once present (via vision, sensation, or voice), state your request clearly and concisely. Offer tribute: “I offer thee this [item] in exchange for thy service.”
Ask questions or command tasks. He may respond audibly, through signs (e.g., animal appearances), or intuition. Take notes.


Duration: Limit to 20-30 minutes to avoid exhaustion.

Closing and Banishing

Dismissal:

Thank him: “I thank thee, Cimeies, for thy presence and aid. Depart in peace to thy abodes.”
Recite the License to Depart:

“O thou Spirit Cimeies, because thou hast diligently answered unto my demands, and hast been very ready and willing to come at my call, I do hereby license thee to depart unto thy proper place; without causing harm or danger unto myself or any creature. Go in peace, and return not unless called.”




Banishing: Extinguish candles counterclockwise. Walk the circle widdershins (counterclockwise) while sprinkling salt. Recite Psalm 91 or a personal banishing prayer.
Aftercare: Journal the experience. Ground with food and rest. If disturbances occur (e.g., nightmares), repeat a lesser banishing ritual like the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (from Golden Dawn traditions).

Warnings and Notes

Risks: Traditional texts warn of possession, madness, or backlash if protections fail. Modern occultists (e.g., in Chaos Magick) adapt this as psychological theater—use at your own risk.
Ethics: Consent is key; frame as self-empowerment, not coercion.
Sources: This draws from The Lesser Key of Solomon (Mathers translation, 1904) and commentaries like those by Aleister Crowley in The Book of Thoth.
