How it appears
A burning flame of fire that then takes the form of a man.
What you ask of it
He teaches astrology and the liberal arts, gives good familiars, and delivers the treasures guarded by other spirits.
Provenance
Amy already appears in Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (1577), with the variant Avnas in the Ars Goetia. The Goetia incorporates him as a president and preserves the detail of his initial fiery form and his connection with astrology, liberal sciences, and treasures guarded by spirits. Already attested in the Liber Officiorum Spirituum (Folger V.b.26, 16th c.) as «Hanar».
How it is summoned
In antiquity
According to the Ars Goetia, the operation is the same for all 72 spirits:
- The magician draws the magic Circle and never steps out of it during the whole work.
- A few paces away he draws the Triangle of Art: there, and only there, must the spirit manifest.
- On his breast he wears the lamen bearing the demon's seal, engraved in metal.
- He recites the conjurations, calling it by its names and by the divine names.
- If the spirit resists or delays, the constraint and the 'chain of spirits' are used.
- Once the request is granted, he gives it the license to depart, and never before.
The tradition adds that he hopes to return to the seventh throne, but assigns him no orientation, astrological moment, offering, or personal precaution.
Source: Ars Goetia (17th c.); already in Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, 1577
The common Goetic operation also adds, when needed: to constrain a resisting spirit (Wellcome MS 110, c74–c78), to show it the Pentacle of Solomon once manifested (Ars Theurgia-Goetia), to work in its planetary hour and day (by rank), and finally to give it licence to depart —and never before (Wellcome MS 110, c53). Practise the full rite at The Practitioner's Table.
What is the “chain of spirits”?
Modern · not ancient
- Print or draw its seal and place it before you on a clean surface.
- Light a candle and, if you wish, some incense; still your mind and set your intention.
- Intone its enn softly and repeatedly, eyes on the seal, until you feel a shift in the air.
- State your request clearly and respectfully, not as a command.
- Give thanks, let the candle burn down a little and close; modern practice is devotional, with no coercive conjuration.
Enn (modern chant): «Tu fubin Amy secore»
Source: Enn of modern demonolatry (lists circulated by S. Connolly and Valerie Corban; tradition collected in The Complete Book of Demonolatry, 2006)
The form Avnas is preserved in some modern lists, but the enn does not come from the ancient grimoires.
Modern experiences (personal gnosis)
In modern demonolatry, particularly according to S. Connolly's "The Daemonolatry Goetia" (2010), Amy is often worked with to expand esoteric knowledge and uncover "treasures" interpreted today as hidden opportunities. Contemporary practitioners describe his presence as an intensely warm or illuminating energy that stimulates the intellect, consistent with his traditional manifestation as a burning flame. He is regularly sought out to overcome academic obstacles, enhance study, and facilitate connections with familiar spirits.
Personal gnosis (UPG): how contemporary practitioners say they experience it. This is subjective experience, not a historical source or doctrine; it does not come from the ancient grimoires and may not be real.
