Talismans & ehrocations of the Golden Dawn
Q - The magician now elevates the covered sigil towards heaven,
removes the veil entirely, leaving it yet corded, crying with a
loud voice, "Creature of ....... long hast thou dwelt in
darkness. Quit the night and seek the day". He then replaces
it upon the altar, holds the magical sword erect above it, the
pommel immediately above the centre thereof, and says, "By
all the names, powers, and rites already rehearsed, I conjure
thee thus into visible appearance." Then the mystic words.
R - Saith the magician, "As light hidden in the darkness can
manifest therefrom, so shalt thou become manifest from
concealment unto manifestation."
He then takes up the sigil, stands to East of altar, and
faces West. He shall then rehearse a long conjuration to
the powers and spirits immediately superior unto that one
which he seeks to invoke, that they shall force him to manifest
himself unto visible appearance.
He then places the sigil between the pillars, himself at
theEast facing West, then in the sign of the enterer doth he
direct the whole current of his will upon the sigil. Thus he
continueth until such time as he shall perceive his will power
to be weakening, when he protects himself from the reflex
of the current by the sign of silence, and drops his hands.
He now looks towards the quarter that the spirit is to appear
in, and he should now see the first signs of his visible
manifestation.
If he be not thus faintly visible, let the magician repeat the
conjuration of the superiors of the spirit, from the place of
the throne in the east. And this conjuration may be repeated
thrice, each time ending with a new projection of will in the
sign of the Enterer, etc. But if at the third time of repetition
he appeareth not, then be it known that there is an error in
the working.
So let the master of evocations replace the sigil upon the
altar, holding the sword as usual: and thus doing, let him
address a humble prayer unto the great gods of Heaven to
correctly complete that evocation. He is then to take back
the sigil to between the Pillars, and repeat the former
