#66 · Marquis
Cimejes
The 66th of the seventy-two, a marquis. Teaches grammar, logic and rhetoric. In the language of this path, Cimejes is a shadow pole — worked only with its angel, Manakel.

| Number | 66 of the 72 |

What the grimoires say
In the 1904 Goetia, Cimejes is a Marquis governing 20 legions. Teaches grammar, logic and rhetoric; finds lost and hidden things.
A marquis pictured as a valiant warrior riding a fine black horse, said to rule the spirits of the African regions.
“The Sixty-sixth Spirit is Cimejes, or Cimeies, or Kimaris. He is a Marquis, Mighty, Great, Strong and Powerful, appearing like a Valiant Warrior riding upon a goodly Black Horse. He ruleth over all Spirits in the parts of Africa. His Office is to teach perfectly Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, and to discover things Lost or Hidden, and Treasures. He governeth 20 Legions of Infernals; and his Seal is this, etc.”— Mathers & Crowley, The Goetia (1904), public domain
The shadow it carries
Stripped to the bone, Cimejes's traditional office turns on eloquence and the classical trivium — grammar, logic, and rhetoric (persuasive, well-ordered speech). Read plainly, that is a real human force; in the language of this path its raw, unowned form is a shadow pole. Its shadow is what that force does when it runs you from the dark; its gold is the same force — seen, owned, governed.
You never reach for it alone. Its light pole is the angel Manakel; met together, behind protection, Cimejes becomes a disowned part of yourself approached while the light is already in the room.
Correspondences
A word of honesty first: almost none of the table below is from the old grimoires. The rank, legions, direction and office are traditional; the planet, day, colour, tarot, incense and the Enn are modern attributions (mostly 20th–21st-century Demonolatry and correspondence compilations), and the sources openly disagree. Use them as a working frame, not as law.
| Correspondence | Value | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Tarot | Four of Disks / Pentacles | Modern — Aleister Crowley, 777 (1909); tied to the 20–30° Capricorn decan |
| Zodiac / Decan | 3rd decan of Capricorn (20–30°), by night | Modern — Crowley, 777; Goetia 37–72 mapped to the 36 decans by night, #66 = 30th decan |
| Planet | Sun | Derived — Chaldean ruler of the 20–30° Capricorn decan (traditional astrology); not in the grimoire |
| Day | Sunday (if the solar decan-ruler is followed) | Modern/derived — inferred from the Sun; no traditional grimoire source |
| Element | Earth | Derived — Capricorn / suit of Disks (Crowley 777); not in the grimoire |
| Metal | Gold | Derived — metal of the Sun (decan ruler) in traditional planetary metals; modern application |
| Candle colour | Black (his black horse) or gold (solar) | Modern — practitioner convention only; no primary source |
| Incense | Frankincense (solar) | Modern — practitioner convention only; no primary source |
| Plant | None fixed | No primary-grimoire attribution; modern lists vary |
| Animal | Black horse | Public-domain — his mount in the 1904 Goetia / Weyer appearance description |
| Date-window | approx. 10–19 January (night) | Modern — Crowley 777 night decan of Capricorn; same window given in S. Connolly demonolatry lists |
Its modern Enn — a chant from the Demonolatry current, not found in any grimoire:
“Ayer avage secore Cimejes”
Making a connection
Gathered from what practitioners report, put plainly — a starting point, not a rule:
- Sit with the seal above as the first meeting-place: trace it, hold it in the mind’s eye, and let impressions arrive without grabbing at them.
- Set a gentle frame. Keep it simple — a black candle, a sunday, a little incense, a moment of quiet. If you work the Demonolatry current, chant the Enn softly — more like settling than commanding.
- Bring the real theme. Practitioners associate Cimejes with recovering lost or hidden objects and locating treasure, courage, resolve, and a martial or warrior bearing. Name what you actually want, and ask — don’t demand.
- Journal before and after, and treat everything as your own experience, not fixed doctrine.
Rank, legions, direction and office are from the public-domain grimoires (Weyer 1577; Mathers & Crowley, The Goetia, 1904). Images are public domain: the 1904 seal. The Enn and the planet/day/colour/tarot correspondences are modern attributions (Demonolatry and compilations), flagged as such; sources disagree, and no copyrighted description or artwork is reproduced. Angel pairing per the Rudd tradition. Take the technique, never the tribe.
