66. Cimejes (Kimaris) - Goetia Spirit of Courage, Discovery and the Rising Sun
The sixty-sixth spirit described in the Ars Goetia is Cimejes - also known as Kimaris or Cimeies - a Marquis associated with courage, hidden knowledge, exploration, and the discovery of lost things.
Among Goetic spirits, Cimejes carries a current that feels disciplined, noble, and unusually solar despite his association with nighttime workings.
Not chaotic power.
Forward movement.
Who is Cimejes?
Traditional grimoires describe Cimejes as a warrior riding a powerful black horse.
Modern occult traditions often connect him to the ancient Egyptian solar deity Khepri - the scarab god associated with the rising sun, renewal, and transformation through cycles of death and rebirth.
That connection changes how many practitioners understand his current.
Not merely a spirit of battle.
A force of renewal, movement, and emergence after stagnation.
The Spirit of Discovery and Exploration
Classical texts claim Cimejes can:
discover hidden or lost things;
reveal concealed knowledge;
assist travelers and expeditions;
strengthen courage and heroism;
teach logic, rhetoric, and grammar;
This combination of intellectual discipline and adventurous movement gives his current a unique character.
Mental clarity combined with forward momentum.
Khepri and the Rising Sun
The connection to Khepri is especially important.
In ancient Egypt, Khepri symbolized:
rebirth;
transformation;
renewal after darkness;
the rising sun emerging each morning;
The scarab itself represented movement and creation - the force that pushes life forward despite decay or stagnation.
This symbolism remains strongly connected to Cimejes in modern occult interpretation.
Especially during periods where life feels stuck, directionless, or spiritually exhausted.
Why Practitioners Approach Cimejes
Modern practitioners often approach Cimejes when:
courage and confidence are needed;
hidden opportunities must be discovered;
someone feels trapped in stagnation;
travel, movement, or life transition is approaching;
stronger mental discipline and focus are desired;
His current is often described as empowering rather than emotionally overwhelming.
Steady.
Focused.
Purposeful.
The Warrior and the Scholar
One of the most unusual aspects of Cimejes is the balance between intellectual and martial symbolism.
He is associated both with:
rhetoric and structured thought;
battle, courage, and heroic action;
This combination gives his current a strategic quality.
Not reckless aggression.
Action guided by clarity.
A Practical Observation
People often expect sudden transformation.
But Cimejes usually works through momentum.
You stop hesitating.
Direction becomes clearer.
Energy slowly returns after long periods of exhaustion or uncertainty.
And eventually, movement replaces stagnation.
