The Book of ceremonial Magic

obtains concerning the Sword of the Art, which should be polished on the day of
Mercury, from the first to the third hour of the night. 1 That designed for the Master or
chief operator should bear the words ELOHIM JITOR, 2 proceeding from point to hilt.
For that of the first disciple, write the name CARDIEL upon the handle, and upon the
blade REGION, proceeding from point to hilt. It should appear on both sides
transversely, but add on the one PANORAIM , and on the other HEOMESIM . On
the sword of the second disciple write URIEL, SARAION, GAMERIN , DEBALIIN, in
the manner before described. On that of the third disciple write DANIEL, IMETON,
LAMEDIIN , ERADIN, and fit the same with a handle of white bone. 3

The following Conjuration must be recited secretly over the swords:--I conjure you, O
sword, by the three Holy Names, ALBROT, ABRACADABRA, JEOVA! Be thou my
fortress and defence against all enemies, visible and invisible, in every magical work. By
the Holy Name SADAY, which is great in power, and by these other names, CADOS,
CADOS, CADOS, ADONAY, ELOY, ZENA, OTH, OCHIMANUEL, the First and the
Last, Wisdom, Way, Life, Virtue, Chief, Mouth, Speech, Splendour, Light, Sun, Fountain,
Glory, Mountain, Vine, Gate, Stone, Staff, Priest, Immortal, MESSIAH, Sword, do thou
rule in all my affairs and prevail in those things which oppose me. Amen.

156:2 It should be understood that wherever the use of animal blood is prescribed I have
made an alteration at some hypothetically essential point, and now give notice, generally
and especially, to this effect. The course taken does not mean that I believe in the efficacy
of these foolish processes, but that knavish persons may be dissuaded from trying them. It
is out of respect to the animals and not consideration to them.
