THE MAGICAL CIRCLE
THIS is the Form of the Magical Circle of King Solomon, the which he made that
he might preserve himself therein from the malice of these Evil Spirits. (See plate,
facing.) This Magical Circle is to be made 9 feet across, and the Divine Names are
to be written round it, beginning at EHYEH, and ending at LEVANAH, Luna.
(Colours.—The space between the outer and inner circles, where the serpent is
coiled, with the Hebrew names written along his body, is bright deep yellow. The
square in the centre of the circle, where the word “Master” is written, is filled in
with red. All names and letters are black. In the Hexagrams the outer trianagles
where the letters A, D, O, N, A, I, appear are filled in with bright yellow, the centres,
where the T-shaped crosses are, blue or green. In the Pentagrams outside the circle,
the outer triangles where “Te, tra, gram, ma, ton,” is written are filled in bright
yellow, and the centres with the T crosses written therein are red. 1 )
THE MAGICAL TRIANGLE OF SOLOMON
THIS is the form of the Magical Triangle, into the which Solomon did command
the Evil Spirits. It is to be made at 2 feet distance from the Magical Circle and it is
3 feet across. (See plate, facing.) Note that this triangle is to be placed toward that
quarter whereunto the Spirit belongeth. And the base of the triangle is to be
nearest unto the Circle, the apex pointing in the direction of the quarter of the
Spirit. Observe thou talso the Moon in thy working, as aforesaid, etc.
Anaphaxeton is sometimes written Anepheneton.
1 The coiled serpent is only shown in one private codex, the Hebrew names being in most
cases simply written round in a somewhat spiral arrangement within the double circle. It is to be
remembered that Hebrew is always written from right to left, instead of from left to right like
ordinary European languages. The small Maltese crosses are placed to mark the conclusion of
each separate set of Hebrew names. These names are those of Deity, Angels and Archangels
allotted by the Qabalists to each of the 9 first Sephiroth or Divine Emanations. In English letters
they run thus, beginning from the head of the serpent: + Ehyeh Kether Metatron Chaioth ha-
Qadesh Rashith ha-Gilgalim S.P.M. (for “Sphere of the Primum Mobile”_ + Iah Chokmah
Ratziel Auphanim Masloth S.S.F. (for “Sphere of the Fixed Stars,” or S.Z. for “Sphere of the
Zodiac”) + Iehovah Elohim Binah Tzaphquiel Aralim Shabbathai S. (for “Sphere”) of Saturn +
El Chesed Tzadquiel Chaschmalin Tzedeq S. of Jupiter + Elohim Gibor Geburah Kamael
