The practice of magic or sorcery, especially the summoning of demons or spirits to accomplish tasks.
From Medieval Latin goetia, derived from Greek goeteia (γοητεία) meaning 'sorcery' or 'deception,' from goetes meaning 'sorcerer' or 'juggler.' The word entered English through medieval magical texts and grimoires.
Goetia appears in some of the most famous grimoires like the Key of Solomon, where it's treated as a systematic practice with strict rules and hierarchies of spirits—basically medieval magic had project management!
