Take a steel dagger in the
right hand (or use the index finger). Face EAST.
Perform the Cabbalistic Cross as follows:
Imagine, at the first word intoned, a brilliant white light descend from
above.
Touch the forehead and vibrate ATEH (thou art)
Imagine that same brilliant white light form a 6 inch diameter sphere just
above the crown of your head.
Touch the middle of the solar plexus and vibrate MALKUTH (Kingdom)
Imagine a shaft of light descending from the Crown Sphere and descend to the
feet where another 6 inch sphere expands just under your feet.
Touch the right shoulder and vibrate VE-GEVURAH (and Power)
Imagine a 6 inch sphere of brilliant white light appear just next to the
right shoulder.
Touch the left shoulder and vibrate VE-GEDULAH (and Glory)
Imagine a shaft of light emerge from the right Sphere and cross your breast
to expand and form another Sphere at your left shoulder.
Clasp the hands before you and vibrate LE-OLAHM (for ever)
At this point imagine clearly the cross of light as it extends through your
body.
Hands as before, with the dagger between fingers, point up, vibrate AMEN
Note: Any image or figure traced in the air with the finger, dagger or other
magical instrument, is to be imagined in brilliant scintillating white Light. In
more advanced working, other colors may be used. Make sure that all images drawn
are correct, as brilliant as possible, and complete. The beginning and end of a
drawn Pentagram must come completely together.
Draw, in the air facing EAST, a banishing Earth Pentagram as shown in the
diagram, and bringing the point of the dagger to the center of the Pentagram,
vibrate the Name Y H V H (pronounced YAHD HEY VAU HEY)
Imagine that your voice carries forward to the LIMITS of the UNIVERSE.
Without moving the dagger in any other direction, trace a semicircle before
you as you turn toward the SOUTH. Again trace the Pentagram, bring the dagger to
the center of it, and vibrate the Name ADNI, (pronounced AH-DOH-NEYE)
Again, trace the semicircle with the dagger to the WEST, trace the Penta-
gram, bringing the dagger to the center, and vibrate the Name AHIH, (pronounced
EH-YEH)
Then, turn towards the NORTH, while tracing the circle, trace the Pentagram,
bring the point of the dagger to the center and vibrate the Name AGLA,
(pronounced either AH-GAH-LAH or ATAH GIBOR LE-OLAHM ADONAI)
Return to the EAST, completing tracing the circle of brilliant white Light,
bringing the dagger point to the center of the EAST Pentagram.
Extend the arms in the form of a cross, say: BEFORE ME (then vibrate) RAPHAEL
(pronounced RAH-PHYE-EHL)
Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel in front of you and facing
you. In his/her right hand is a magical Sword held with the point upright. The
background is a pale, pure, bright yellow. Cherubs can be imagined near the
Archangel. Imagine a gentle, refreshing breeze, cleansing and purifying the air.
Then, say: BEHIND ME (then vibrate) GABRIEL (pronounced GAH-BREE-EHL)
Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel behind you and facing you,
holding in their right hand an exquisite silver Chalice. He/she is standing on a
Cerulean-blue ocean and dolphins or mermaids are nearby. Imagine feeling the
mist and cool spray of the ocean breeze.
Then, say: AT MY RIGHT HAND (then vibrate) MICHAEL (pronounced MEE-CHYE-EHL)
Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel at your right, facing you,
and holding in their right hand a transparent scarlet red Wand with a
scintillate pure diamond top. Waves of scarlet, red-orange and orange fire in
the background. Also, SEKHMET, with a scarlet disk above her head, emerald green
Uraeus, scarlet dress from just below breasts, tight-fitting, down to her
ankles, is in the flames. She holds, in her left hand, a scarlet-red lotus wand.
In her right hand, she holds an emerald-green ankh. Small black salamanders can
be seen moving among the flames. Imagine you feel the heat and power emanating
from the SOUTH.
Then, say: AT MY LEFT HAND (then vibrate) AURIEL (pronounced AWE-REE-EHL)
Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel at your left, facing you,
and holding between their hands a Disk with a scintillating white Pentagram in
the center. The ground is russet-brown, the leaves of the trees are olive-green,
there are black shadows from the trees in a number of places, and the light is
citrine (light yellow-green.) Feel the solidity of the Earth, and imagine the
odor of the leaves and muskiness of the ground.
Now, say: ABOUT ME FLAMES THE PENTAGRAMS, AND IN THE COLUMN SHINES THE
SIX-RAYED STAR.
Imagine the complete circle of brilliant white light at whose quadrants are
the 4 Pentagrams. At the center is the Cabbalistic Cross of Light extended
through one's body.
Repeat the Cabbalistic cross, and, according to some occultists, stamp your
right foot at the conclusion of the complete operation. The Banishing Ritual of
the Pentagram is performed preliminary to any magical operation and precedes the
Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram.
