If they be of linen the thread of which they are made should have been spun by a young maiden. 2The characters shown in Figure 55 should be embroidered on the breast with the needle of Art in red silk. 3The shoes should also be White, upon the which the characters in Figure 56 should be traced in the same way. 4The shoes or boots should be made of white leather, on the which should be marked the Signs and Characters of Art. These shoes should be made during the days of fast and abstinence, namely, during the nine days set apart before the beginning of the Operation, during which the necessary instruments also should be prepared, polished, brightened, and cleaned. 5Besides this, the Master of the Art should have a Crown made of Virgin paper, upon the which should be written these four Names: — Yod, He, Vau, He, in front; Adonai behind; El on the right; and Elohim on the left. ( See 6whereof we shall speak in the proper Chapter. The Disciples should also each have a Crown of Virgin paper whereon these Divine symbols should be marked in scarlet. {See Figure 58.) 7Take heed also that in clothing thyself with these aforesaid habiliments, that thou recite these Psalms: — Psalms xv.; cxxxi.; cxxxvii.; cxvii.; lxvii.; lxviii.; and cxxvii. 8After this perfume the vestments with the perfumes and suffumigations of the Art, and sprinkle them with the water and hyssop of the Art. 9But when the Master and His Disciples shall commence to robe them- selves after the first Psalm, and before continuing with the others, he should pronounce these words: — 10Amor, Amator, Amides, Ideodaniach, Pamor, Plaior, Anitor; through the merits of these holy Angels will I robe and indue myself with the Vestments of Power, through which may I conduct unto the desired end those things which I ardently wish, through Thee, O Most Holy Adonai, Whose Kingdom and Empire endureth for ever. Amen. 11Take notice that if the linen garments were vestments of the Levites or of the Priests, and had been used for holy things, that they would be all the better. ‹Previous chapterKey of Solomon 65Next chapterKey of Solomon 69›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.
