In this Chapter we treat of extraordinary and unusual experiments, which can also be done in many ways. 2None the less should those who wish to put in practice the like experi- ments and operations observe the days and hours as is laid down in the proper Chapters, and should be provided with virgin paper and other necessary things. Having prepared a similar experiment thou shalt say: — 3O God Who hast created all things, and hast given unto us discernment to understand the good and the evil; through thy Holy Name, and through these Holy Names; — Iod, Iah, Vau, Daleth, Vau, Tzabaoth, Zio, Amator, Creator, do Thou, O Lord, grant that this experiment may become true and veritable in my hands through Thy Holy Seal, O Adonai, Whose reign and empire remaineth eternally and unto the Ages of the Ages. Amen. 4This being done, thou shalt perform the experiment, observing its hour, and thou shalt perfume and incense as is laid down in the proper Chapter; sprinkling with exorcised water, and performing all the ceremonies and solemnities as we shall instruct thee in the Second Book of our Key. ‹Previous chapterKey of Solomon 38Next chapterKey of Solomon 42›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
