Enn: Ayer avage secore Cimejes

From the Goetia:
“…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.”

Cimejes, whom I personally prefer to call Symeon, appears as a valiant warrior riding upon a

Connolly notes that he brings success in writing, helps with communication, and can aid job seekers in networking. Mirta Wake, notes that occultworld.com mentions that the name derives from Chimera, the fire-breathing creature with the heads of lion, goat, and serpent. She also issues a warning: Cimejes does not tolerate fools or cowards.

From personal interactions reported, Cimejes is often experienced as feminine rather than masculine, and she seems to enjoy the company of women and feminine-identifying individuals. She is said to show no bias in training, working equally with female and male soldiers, but with men she tends to favour those who are royal in heart rather than merely by bloodline.

An interesting theme appears here that isn’t directly in the Goetia itself but recurs across accounts — the training of soldiers. While his official office is not to make warriors, his appearance as a valiant horseman seems to have given rise to this interpretation. Jehannum notes that Cimejes is considered a patron of the military, bestowing courage and battlefield heroism. He is also associated with refining psychic senses and sharpening lucidity in dreams. In the Munich Handbook of Necromancy from the 15th century, he appears under the name Tuvries and is said to assist with crossing seas and rivers quickly. Rufus Opus suggests that Cimejes helps practitioners to understand and master systems, breaking them down into their parts and then reassembling them as a whole.

Finally, the Goetic imagery of the warrior on the black horse can be read symbolically as a funerary sign, heralding death and chaos. It is said that he can make a person appear as a soldier — not a hollow “chocolate soldier,” full of excuses, but a true warrior who commands respect and inspires fear.
