The First

The First Principal Spirit is a King ruling in the East.

He maketh thee to go Invisible. He ruleth over 66 Legions of Infernal Spirits. He appeareth in divers shapes, sometimes like a Cat, sometimes like a Toad, and sometimes like a Man, and sometimes all these forms at once.

He speaketh hoarsely. This is his character which is used to be worn as a Lamen before him who calleth him forth, or else he will not do thee homage.

Fleshy Pin Cushion

I like the way your flesh caresses the pale old moon.

It’s like a sacrifice unfolding before the scene. Warm and red like the taste of a knife’s edge,

Black and blue, fleshly little pin cushion, running in the night’s beautiful, lustful hue.
