Heptameron Conjuration of Sunday

The Heptameron gives a short conjuration and a table of "considerations" for each day of the week. For Sunday, the angels of the day are Michael, Dardiel and Huratapal, and the angels of the air are ruled by the king Varcan with his ministers Tus, Andas and Cynabal, under the north wind. The day's perfume is red wheat. The operator, vested and holding the pentacle, censes the circle and recites the general exorcism followed by the Sunday conjuration, which calls the angels of the fourth heaven under the Sun. Its circle, three rings nine feet wide, carries in the middle ring the name and angel of the hour, the angels of the day, and the names of the season, its ruling spirits, the earth, the Sun and the Moon; the outer ring names the king and ministers of the air.

Purpose

According to the text, the spirits of Sunday give gold, gems and riches, win favour, dissolve enmities, raise men to honour and carry away infirmities.
