Dantalion;
The Spirit Of Knowledge
A few
years ago I met a man with a problem. He said he had been directed by a
power that commanded
that he write a book about all of
the unknown wonders of the universe. The problem was, this man was
illiterate, he was struggling
with volumes of information that was
coming into his head, and he didn't know what to do with it.
A had
several meetings with this man, was amazed at the head knowledge he
seemed to possess, and
did what I could to sort through the
pages of computer print-outs he prepared from the information that came
blasting into
his head each day. As hard as I
tried, I could not find a key thread of data on which to hang a book, or
a reason to make
a book out of all of the gibberish
at all. He had names of elements nobody knew existed. Numeric charts the
man said were
keys to the music of the angels.
The
mystery of what happened to this man was solved when our son, remote
viewer Aaron C. Donahue,
evoked the spirit of Dantalion. You
can see Donahue's drawings of this interesting spirit by visiting his
web site at: http://ummo.cc/webpage109.html.
Dantalion,
the 71st Spirit of the Goetia, is the very thing that took over this
poor man's life.
Aaron's drawing depicts this demon
as a large brain with a single eye and a single hole that could be a
mouth. It seems to
be hanging in space in front of an
open book.
This
demon is known to have many heads that speak through one mouth, although
the tormented man
I write of claims that he had
hundreds of heads enter his own when he asked the spirit for help. After
this he spoke in riddles
about numerics, the stars and the
makeup of our planet.
One
writer who had an experience with Dantalion states that this spirit is a
Duke, "can foresee
the future, is able to see what
others are thinking and has the abilities to change their minds."
The
writer warns that even though Dantalion is considered a helpful demon,
"you should not
call upon him until you have
exhausted all other resources (Tarot, pendulum, etc.) and it had better
be important. . . There
is a price for receiving help from
these beings, and if you are not prepared to carryout your end of the
deal, or you are
worried that they may ask too much
of you, don't call on them!"
Failure to do the demon's bidding as promised will bring disaster to your personal life, the writer
warns.
Dantalion talks about himself in a web site devoted to him, perhaps as a favor in exchange for services
rendered. His description of himself is revealing:
"Who is
Dantalion you may well ask......and it shall be answered. A great and
mighty Djinn. I appear
in the form of a robed and hooded
man with the countenances of all men and women upon me. In my right hand
I hold the Book
of the Covenant. The contract
between my kind and yours, which I am compelled to obey, as set down on
the First day. I teach
men in arts and sciences, and can
convey the secret counsel of any, for I know the mind of all men, and
can change them at
will, or at the behest of the one
who asks. I can even cause love to spring upon the heart of an enemy,
and show unto you
their similitude, be they in
whatever part of the world. I have at my command 36 legions of lesser
djinn, and my influence
in worldly matters has hardly an
equal.
"Search
your human history and you will find me..... and evidence of my hand. My
name is mumbled
to this day by nomadic shepherds of
the Middle East. I have held counsel with the Rosicrucians, in their
quest to follow Abremilin.
It was my hand rending the veil that
did cause the Astrologer, Dee to behold a Kingdom beyond this earth.
And even before
in Europe, my sign was engraved upon
talismans by the Moorish sorcerers of Spain, that the Catholic terror
might be blinded
to their activities. King Solomon
himself, did shut me up in a vessel of brass with 71 of my brethren, so
jealously he guarded
the power we could bring unto a man.
Before him, the Merkabites, and before them the Zoroastrians, and so on
even unto ages
beyond the reckoning of man, back to
the Great Chaos and the battle that rent it asunder.
"I am Dantalion.
"Here
you will feel my being, and you may ask of me what you will. What do I
ask in return? A small
favor. A token of exchange. It is
really up to you, and what you feel in your heart is fair. You might
write a screen saver
in my name to glorify me. Perhaps
you will visit the Temple and burn jasmine in my honor. You may send an
e-mail to ten of
your friends to come to this site.
(Highly suggested) Or you may link to my Temple from your page. But,
keep in mind that
how much I do for you depends on how
much you do for me. Nothing is free, in this world or the next."
The word
djinn is taken from the ancient Roman word Genii, a form of protective
god worshipped by
the Roman people. This word is
passed down to us in the old Arabian stories about the magical genie in
the bottle who grants
wishes. Indeed, the Muslims believed
that the djinn were intelligent airy or fiery beings that could take
human or animal
form.
The stories all seem to refer back to contacts with the demon Dantalion.

This was taken from an interesting website about Dantalion (http://dantalionsmagic.blogspot.com) :
Dantalion is listed as one of the ancient djinn in certain of the European magical grimoires. Many of the spirits Dantalion is linked to have appeared in various occult texts from the 14th centuries on; these texts gradually uncovered the spirits and their abilities.
Unlike some of the other spirits, Dantalion remained rather hidden at first. Johann Weyer (occult apprentice to Hienrich Cornelius Agrippa) did not include Dantalion in the list of 69 spirits he printed in his Pseudomonarchia Daemonum. Nor did it appear in any of the earlier European magical texts such as the Liber Juratus. All of that changed when another grimoire known as the Ars Goetia was published in 16th century Europe as part of a collection collectively known as Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis (the Lesser Key of Solomon). This collection is one of the more well-known magical works in western occultism and it revealed Dantalion to the magical public of its day, quite possibly for the first time.
The Shemhamphorash section of the Ars Goetia described Dantalion as being the 71st djinn in the order. That description is as follows:
"The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men's and Women's Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc."
From this description, a few things are easily understood:
a. Dantalion appears as a morph:
b. Dantalion carries a magical grimoire in its right hand, which is the Book of Dantalion i would like to conjure. This grimoire has been described by one mage who evoked Dantalion as a covenant or contract between the Goetic forces and humanity
that Dantalion is compelled to follow through on.
c. Dantalion is a personal tutor to polymaths and polyhistors who also do magical experiments; eminent examples of polymaths from the time of the Goetia's formation include Abu Ali Ibn Sina (Avicenna), Nahmanides (the Ramban), or Copernicus. Later examples would include John Dee and Benjamin Franklin; both are notable in this regard because they did not hide the fact that they studied the occult.
d. Dantalion shows secrets and can teach you mindreading and mental influence, as well as different branches of PK (psychokinesis).
e. Dantalion can teach seduction and other forms of mental persuasion. A perfect example of someone who has learned this aspect of Dantalion's knowledge would be Igor Ledochowski. Ledochowski also happens to be a direct descendent of Włodzimierz Ledóchowski, S.J., the former Black Pope (Superior General) of the Jesuits, which offers up a clue to his magical genealogy.
f. Dantalion teaches ways of having out of body experiences, including remote viewing, etheric projection, astral projection, mental projection, and other methods.
Dantalion also does many, many other things not mentioned in the grimoire, but in order to find out what they are you would have had to evoke Dantalion and ask it to tell you those things. I hope to do exactly that in the near future and i also hope to catalogue many of the things Dantalion can do in greater detail.
Dantalion has been evoked in many times in the past and there have been journals of Dantalion evocations. A rather strange but telling case of Dantalion's appearance is described by James Donahue on his website. It would seem to me that Dantalion can reveal the kind of cryptic information found in the Voynich Manuscript, but can just as easily lead a careless evoker into mental insanity due to information overload. These kinds of workings are not always safe. A mage should exercise intelligence and caution in working with forces more powerful than themselves in order to avoid personal disaster.
There is another issue to be aware of. Soluzen also posted another accounting of a Dantalion evocation on Sacred-Magick.com, which has good general advice by Soluzen as well as a strong warning, which i will restate in my own words below:
WARNING: The forces you conjure do not like to be taken advantage of. If you refuse to keep the promises you made to them, you will surely regret it.

WARNING: The forces you conjure do not like to be taken advantage of. If you refuse to keep the promises you made to them, you will surely regret it.
In demonology, Dantalion (or Dantalian) is a powerful Great Duke of Hell, with thirty-six legions of demons under his command; a Jinn, he is the 71st of 72 spirits of Solomon. He teaches all arts and sciences, and also declares the secret counsel of anyone, given that he knows the thoughts of all people and can change them at his will. He can also cause love and show the similitude of any person, show the same by means of a vision, and let them be in any part of the world they will.
He is depicted as a man with many appearances, which means the faces of all men and women. There are also many depictions in which he is said to hold a book in one of his hands:
"The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men's and Women's Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his Will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc." - The Lesser Key of Solomon
