Nicole Explains It All

I asked my NotebookLM folder which holds sixteen magical grimoire sources, what Tuesday means:

Tuesday holds significant importance in various magical traditions, largely due to its planetary attribution to Mars, governing operations concerning conflict, action, destruction, and martial affairs.

The significance of Tuesday can be broken down into its rulership, the nature of operations performed, the spirits associated with it, and specific ritual requirements:

I. Rulership and Planetary Attributes

Tuesday is consecrated to the planet Mars (MADIM).

The angels of the air ruling on Tuesday are Samax, King, served by his ministers Carmax, Ismoli, and Paffran, who are subject to the East-winde.

The Angels of the hours of Tuesday change successively, beginning with the ruling Angel of the day (Samael, according to Heptameron) at the first hour of the day, followed by Michael, then Anael, and so on, following the planetary order.

II. Magical Operations Associated with Tuesday

The Days and Hours of Mars (Tuesday) are suitable for operations related to conflict, energy, and aggression.

• Conflict and Destruction: Tuesday is appropriate for experiments concerning war, the procurement of military honor, acquiring courage, overthrowing enemies, and causing ruin, slaughter, cruelty, discord, wounding, and giving death. The Spirits of the Air of Tuesday are inherently destructive, capable of causing wars, mortality, death, and combustions, and they can bring death, infirmities, or health.
• Aiding Military Action: Spirits associated with Tuesday, such as HETAEL, can guide armies or destroy them. The Spirits of the Air can also give two thousand soldiers at a time.
• Souls and the Dead: The Hours of Mars serve for summoning Souls from Hades, especially those slain in battle.
• Invisibility: Operations regarding invisibility should be practiced at the first, second, and third hours of Mars by day, or until the third hour by night.
• Discord and Hatred: The Hours of Mars are excellent for making experiments of hatred, enmity, quarrel, and discord.

III. Associated Spirits and Ritual Timing

Infernal Spirits (Conjuration) In the Grimoire of Honorius, Tuesday is the day for invoking the spirit Frimost, usually performed at night from nine to ten o’clock.

In the Grand Grimoire, the Arch-Demon Lucifuge Rofocale may be called on Tuesday night. The initial requested times were ten o’clock and one in the morning; the agreed-upon covenant times are eleven o’clock and one in the morning. In a later, more severe pact, the spirit requires being called one day every week, from ten o’clock in the evening until 2 two in the morning.

Celestial Spirits (Theurgia)

• The Spirit SAMAEL (a Spirit of Counsel) can be invoked on a Tuesday at midnight, particularly for learning Magic, Necromancy, Jurisprudence, and Occult Sciences, provided the operator fasts that day.
• The spirit HETAEL can be invoked on a Tuesday to guide or destroy armies and render the operator invulnerable.

IV. Ritual Preparation and Implements

Tuesday is mandated for preparing several crucial items:

1. Sacrificial Knife: A knife strong enough to cut a kid’s neck must be made of new steel on the day of Mars [Tuesday] at the New Moon.
2. Ritual Parchment: On the day and hour of Mars (Tuesday), at the first hour of the day (a quarter of an hour before sunrise), virgin parchment must be prepared, inscribed with characters and invocations using the operator’s blood (from the small finger).
3. Iron Implements: Pentacles of Mars are appropriately made of Iron. The Seventh Pentacle of Mars (used to excite hail and tempest) should be written in the day and hour of Mars, using the blood of a bat, on Virgin Parchment Paper.
4. Knife Hilt: The Knife with the white hilt for general magical operations should be made when Mars is in the sign of the Ram ($\gamma$) or the Scorpion ($\beta$).
5. Animal Sacrifice: A young wolf must be killed in the hour of Mars to make the garter of twenty miles per hour.
6. Mass of the Angels: On Tuesday, at break of day, the operator must say a Mass of the Angels, placing the reserved black cock feather and a new penknife upon the altar. Signs are inscribed on clean paper with consecrated wine (the Blood of Jesus Christ).

V. Appearance of Mars Spirits

The familiar forms of the Spirits of Mars (Tuesday) are described as a tall body and choleric, with a filthy countenance, of color brown, swarthy, or red. They may have horns like harts, and claws like griffins, and bellow like wild bulls. Their motion is rapid, like fire burning, and their sign is thunder and lightning round about the circle.

Their particular shapes include:

• A king armed, riding on a wolf.
• A man armed.
• A woman with a buckler on her thigh.
• A she-goat, a horse, or a stag.
