The Book of ceremonial Magic

Whether in the increase or wane of the Moon, a star must be observed between eleven
o'clock and midnight. But before beginning do as follows. Take a virgin parchment.
Write thereon her name whose presence you desire. The parchment must be shaped as
represented in the following figure. On the other side inscribe these words: Melchiael,
Bareschas. Then place your parchment on the earth, with the person's name against the
ground. Set your right foot above it, while your left knee is bent to the earth. In this
position observe the brightest star in the firmament, holding in the right hand a taper of
white wax, large enough to last for an hour, and recite the following
p. 305
CONJURATION
I salute and conjure you, O beautiful Moon, O beautiful Star, O bright light which I hold
in my hand! By the air which I breathe, by the breath which is within me, by the earth
which I touch, I conjure you, and by all the names of the spirits who are Princes residing
in you; by the ineffable Name ON, Which hath created all; by thee, O Resplendent Angel
Gabriel, together with the Prince Mercury, Michiael and Melchidael! I conjure you again
by all the Divine Names of God, that you send down to obsess, torment and harass the
body, spirit, soul and five senses of the nature of N., whose name is written here below, in
such a way that she shall come unto me and accomplish my will, having no friendship for
any one in the world, but especially for N., so long as she shall be indifferent to me. So
shall she endure not, so shall she be obsessed, so suffer, so be tormented. Go then,
promptly; go, Melchidael, Baresches, Zazel, Firiel, Malcha, and all those who are
without you (sic). I conjure you by the great living God to accomplish my will, and I, N.,
do promise to satisfy you duly.
Having thrice pronounced this conjuration, place the taper on the parchment and let it
burn. Take the parchment on the morrow, put it in your left shoe and there leave it until
the person for whom you have operated shall have come to seek you out. You must
specify in the Conjuration the day that you desire her to come, and she will not fail.
This process has its disadvantages, and even its difficulties. It seems absurd to suppose
that there are Spirit Princes inhabiting the flame of a taper, and the treatment invoked
upon the lady is of a turbulent kind, nor is there any colourable pretence on which the
position of the rival lover can be justified;

but it has the touch of the picturesque, and, making all allowance for the potencies which
may inhere in Sator, Arepo, Tenet, Opera, Rotas, it does not suffer seriously by
comparison with the method of the Clavicle.
§ 3. Concerning the Experiment of Invisibility
We shall see later on that there are certain processes found in the Grimoires which do not
connect with Black Magic otherwise than by their place in the Grimoires. There are also
