THE COMPLETE GOLDEN DAWN SYSTEM OF MAGIC
And whenever thou shalt trace a Sigil of any nature, thou must commence at the left hand
of the Sigil or symbol tracing it in a clockwise motion.
Whenever thou invokest the forces of the Zodiacal Signs as distinct from the Elements,
thou shalt erect an astrological chart of the Heavens for the time of working so that thou mayest
know toward what quarter or direction thou shouldst face in working. For the same Sign may be
in the East at one time of the day and in the West at another.
Whenever thou shalt prepare to commence any magical work or operation, it will be
advisable for thee to clear and consecrate the place of work by performing the Lesser Banishing
Ritual of the Pentagram. In certain cases, especially when working by or with the forces of the
Planets, it may be wise also to use the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram.
In order that a Force and a Current and a Colour and a Sound may be united together in
the same symbol, unto each angle of the Pentagram certain Hebrew divine Names and Names
from the Angelic Tablets are allotted. These are to be pronounced with the invoking and
banishing Pentagrams as thou mayest see in this diagrams.
The attributions of the angles of the Pentagram are the key of its Ritual. Herein, during
ordinary invocation without the use of the Enochian Tablets of the Elements, thou shalt
pronounce the Divine Name Al with the Pentagram of Water, and Elohim with Fire, etc. But if
thou art working with the Elemental or Enochian Tablets, thou shalt use the Divine Names in the
Angelic language drawn therefrom. For Earth, Emor Dial Hectega, etc., and for Spirit the four
words: Exarp in the East; Hcoma in the West: Nanta in the North; and Bitom in the South.
In the pronunciation of all these Names, thou shalt take a deep brçath and vibrate them as
much as possible inwardly with the outgoing breath, nbt necessarily loudly, but with forcible
vibration thus: A-a-a-el-Il (Since this Divine name consists of only two letters I consistently
make a practice of vibrating the letters separately viz, Aleph Lamed, then the sound as indicated
before). Or Em-or-r Di-a-ll Hec-te-e-gah. If thou wilt, thou mayest also trace the letters or Sigils
of these Names in the Air
