The Brass VesselThe Seventy-Two Spirits · 47
Also recorded as Vual, Voval
A mighty dromedary becomes a human speaker of imperfect Egyptian. Uvall offers women’s love, knowledge of past and future, and friendship between enemies. [1]
Goetia 1904
Uvall appears first as a mighty dromedary. After a time he assumes human shape at command and speaks Egyptian, though not perfectly. He obtains the love of women, tells of past, present and future, and procures friendship between friends and foes. The former Power governs thirty-seven legions; Vual and Voval are alternative names. [1]
Scot’s Vuall speaks Egyptian in a low voice, without the later notice’s qualification that he does so imperfectly. Crowley’s footnote to the 1904 text adds his own contemporary claim: Uvall can now converse in sound, though colloquial, Coptic. [1][2]
