They should each be cut from the tree at a single stroke, on the day of Mercury, at sunrise. The characters shown should be written or engraved thereon in the day and hour of Mercury. 2Adonai, Most Holy, deign to bless and to consecrate this Wand, and this Staff, that they may obtain the necessary virtue, through Thee, O Most Holy Adonai, whose kingdom endureth unto the Ages of the Ages. Amen. 3After having perfumed and consecrated them, put them aside in a pure and clean place for use when required. 4Swords are also frequently necessary for use in Magical Arts. Thou shalt therefore take a new Sword which thou shalt clean and polish on the day of Mercury, and at the first or the fifteenth hour, and after this thou shalt write on one side these Divine Names in Hebrew, Yod He Vau He, Adonai, Eheieh, Yayai; and on the other side Elohim Gibor (see Figure yo); sprinkle and cense it and repeat over it the following conjuration: — 5I conjure thee, O Sword, by these Names, Abrahach, Abrach, Abracadabra, Yod He Vau He, that thou serve me for a strength and defence in all Magical Operations, against all mine Enemies, visible and invisible. 6I conjure thee anew by the Holy and Indivisible Name of El strong and wonderful; by the Name Shaddai Almighty; and by these Names Qadosch, Qadosch, Qadosch, Adonai Elohim Tzabaoth, Emanuel, the First and the Last, Wisdom, Way, Life, Truth, Chief, Speech, Word, Splendour, Light, Sun, Fountain, Glory, the Stone of the Wise, Virtue, Shepherd, Priest, Messiach Immortal; by these Names then, and by the other Names, I conjure thee, O Sword, that thou servest me for a Protection in all adversities. Amen. 7This being finished thou shalt wrap it also in silk like all the other Instruments, being duly purified and consecrated by the Ceremonies requisite for the perfection of all Magical Arts and Operations. 8Three other Swords should be made for the use of the Disciples. 9The first one should have on the pommel the Name Cardiel or Gabriel (see Figure 71); on the Lamen of the Guard, Region (Figure 72); on the Blade, Panoraim Heamesin (Figure 73). 10The Second should have on the pommel the Name Auriel (Figure 74); on the Lamen of the Guard, Sarion (Figure 75); on the Blade, Gamorin Debalin ( Figure 76). 11The third should have on the pommel the Name Damiel or Raphael (Figure 77); on the Lamen of the Guard, Yemeton (Figure 78); on the Blade, Lamedin Eradim (Figure 79). 12The Burin ( Figure 80) or Graver is useful for engraving or incising characters. In the day and hour either of Mars or of Venus thou shalt engrave thereon the characters shown, and having sprinkled and censed it thou shalt repeat over it the following Prayer: — 13Asophiel, Asophiel, Asophiel, Pentagrammaton, Athanatos, Eheieh Asher Eheieh, Qadosch, Qadosch, Qadosch; O God Eternal, and ray Father, bless this Instrument prepared in Thine honour, so that it may only serve for a good use and end, for Thy Glory. Amen. 14Having again perfumed, thou shalt put it aside for use. The Needle may be consecrated in the same way. ‹Previous chapterKey of Solomon 71Next chapterKey of Solomon 76›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.
