The 72 genii: your three genii of birth

Lenain gives everyone three genii: one for the body, by the five days of birth; one for the morals, by the day; one for the soul, by the hour. Enter your date and time of birth.

How Lenain counts

The five days from 15 to 19 March belong to no genius. The calculation follows Lenain’s tables as they stand, on the civil calendar; we add nothing.

The genii of the occult sciences

Five genii touch the occult in the text: the 25th, Nith-Haiah, who “rules all the occult sciences” and those who “practise the magic of the wise”; the 67th, Eiael; the 51st, Hahasiah, of the philosopher’s stone; the 5th, Mahasiah; and the 72nd, Mumiah, who “protects in mysterious operations”. To be born from 18 to 22 July is to have Nith-Haiah as genius of the body.

The invocation notebook of your three genii — US$19

Your three genii in full, and what is needed to address them as Lenain prescribes: for each, the Latin verse to be spoken, the exact hour of its reign, its next days in the year, what it rules, the portrait of the person born under it and its contrary genius; then the rule of silence, the favourable moment and the talisman of invocations. Emailed within 24 hours; you pay after you have received it.

The genius of your dream — Lenain has each of the 72 genii reign twenty minutes a day.

What the genii are for, and how they are invoked — He gives a purpose, a rule, a moment and two talismans.
