Provenance
Crocell corresponds to the Pucel or Procel of Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (1577). The Ars Goetia inherits him with a variant name and preserves his profile as a duke who teaches geometry and reveals waters, springs, or baths. Already attested in the Livre des Esperitz (15th c.) as «Bucal (f182v)».
The seal: printed edition and facsimile
Crocell's main seal follows the printed Mathers–Crowley (1904) form; the Sloane MS 2731 manuscript facsimile is shown separately for comparison.
The main image and SVG/PNG downloads reproduce the printed form of S. L. MacGregor Mathers and Aleister Crowley's 1904 edition, using the normal vector pack documented on Wikimedia Commons (public domain/CC0). The Sloane MS 2731 facsimile remains separate for comparing manuscript variants; it is not used as the main image.
The FULL manuscript facsimile («Lemegeton, Clavicula Salomonis», Sloane MS 2731) is in our library; the original is held at the British Library (Sloane MS 2731).
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 ancient text presents him with angelic appearance, speaking of hidden and mysterious things, and able to produce the sound of great waters and to heat them. It adds no individual orientation, hour, offering, or ritual precaution for him.

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): «Jedan tasa Crocell on ca»
Source: Enn of modern demonolatry (lists circulated by S. Connolly and Valerie Corban; tradition collected in The Complete Book of Demonolatry, 2006)
The presence of Jedan in the enn is interpreted in modern lists as an aquatic association, not as a medieval or ancient Goetic datum.
Modern experiences (personal gnosis)
In contemporary demonolatry, practitioners often work with Crocell to soften aggressive emotions and bring warmth to those who seem cold or distant. His influence is described as fostering understanding, helping individuals see the opposing side of an argument and avoid hasty judgments, while also being utilized for divination.
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.
