ENN: Tasa Sabnock on ca lirach
From the Goetia: “…appearing in the Form of an Armed Soldier with a Lion’s Head, riding on a pale-coloured horse. His office is to build high Towers, Castles and Cities, and to furnish them with Armour, etc. Also he can afflict Men for many days with Wounds and with Sores rotten and full of Worms. He giveth Good Familiars at the request of the Exorcist.”
Another that builds towers, castles and cities, but is more warlike. Here we get more into cursing and excretion magics with the mention of afflicting men for many days with wounds and with sores, rotten and full of worms.
Connolly says, invoke as a protection ward in your home or Astral Temple, and anyone who attacks your spaces by him, will become ill immediately. Once they call off their attack, the illness will subside.
In comparison to a spirit like Vepar who will “maketh men to die in Three Days by Putrefying Wounds or Sores, and causing Worms to breed in them”, Sabnock will cause the putrefaction and then remove when they remove their attack.
The Goetia Ritual goes into the symbolism of the pale horse in association with the four horsemen of the apocalypse in revelations in reference to. So I’m gonna read that to you in revelations pale horse: “The writer declares when the lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say come and see. I looked and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named Death and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a quarter of the Earth to kill by sword famine, plague, and by the wild beasts of the Earth.” – I’m really not sure how that relates but I thought I’d mention it.
