Goetia
Goetia (Medieval Latin, anglicised goety /ˈɡoʊ.ᵻti/, from Greek γοητεία goēteia "sorcery") refers to a practice which includes the invocation of angels or of demons, and usage of the term in English largely derives from the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon, which features an Ars Goetia as its first section. It contains descriptions of the evocation of seventy-two demons, famously edited by Aleister Crowley in 1904 as The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King.
Goetic Theurgy, another practice described in the Lesser Key of Solomon, is similar to the book's description of Goetia, but is used to invoke aerial spirits.
Etymology
Ancient Greek γοητεία (goeteia) means "charm, jugglery" from γόης "sorcerer, wizard". The meaning of "sorcerer" is attested in a scholion, referring to the Dactyli, stating that according to Pherecydes of Syros and Hellanicus of Lesbos, those to the left are goētes, while those to the right are deliverers from sorcery. The word may be ultimately derived from the verb γοάω "groan, bewail". Derived terms are γοήτευμα "a charm" and γοητεύω "to bewitch, beguile".

Goetia
by: Mystifierwhile the night falls a gloomy mist covers the earth
the wild child will come to light
the holy symbols tremble and the glitter of joy is sad
the lord's son of evil soon will be among us
antichristus will come. the bells begin to ring solemnly
antichristus will come. the satanists wait for their deity
at midnight was born the prodigal son of evil
the satanists show to the wild child his new realm
he rejoices and promises the elixir of imortality to us
yhvh and jesus christ prepare to battle against antichristus
antichristus arrived. he chalenges his apponents to fight
antichristus arrived. yhvh and jesus christ hesitate face the invitation
yhvh commands his kerubs
jesus christ commands his angels
antichristus commands his demons
kerubs and angels attack and murder some demons from antichristus' battalion
he becomes furious and calls for the mighty gods of evil
lucifer sends unseen demons fulminate the angels
pazuzu blows and throws dust in the eyes of the kerubs
behemoth uses his brutal force against the kerubs
astaroth murders the last live kerubs
beelzebub sends a bunch of flies to molest the angels
asmodeus tramples the angels with his chariot of fire
moloch devours the remains of the angels and the kerubs
belial announces the victory of the realm of antichristus
look as the rust corrodes the golden palace of heaven
the rays become frozen in the hands of yhvh
jesus christ prowls alone in the vale of tears
antichristus salutes the mighty gods of evil
antichristus won. the bells ring solemnly
antichristus won. the evil deity says loudly:
"my triumph over yhvh was an example to others"
