SHADES OF GOETIA

Danny’s Tee design features diagrams of both the magic circle and triangle of Solomon as shown in Aleister Crowley’s translation of an ancient grimoire. The triangle served as a spirit trap for the legendary king to attract and capture Djinn. In a letter sent by Crowley to Kenneth Grant, he mentions an “initiated interpretation” of ceremonial magic that is notably rationalistic. This explanation supposes that the process of “evocation” involved with Goetic Summons stimulates and activates specific sections of human neural circuitry (regions of the brain) that are responsible for acquiring knowledge of diverse subjects as well as for learning and mastering particular skills. The sigil ‘chosen’ for the new tee is that of PAIMON, who teaches the “arts and Sciences, and other secret things.”
