PART 3: The Closing
Go to the Eastern part of the Hall. There the godform of Osiris traces before you the
symbol of the circled cross, bestowing upon you the office of Hierophant. Taking on
the officer-form of the Hierophant, you knock and say:
Let us adore the Lord and Kingof Earth. (fum to the East and visualize
the Earth triangle. Say:) ADONAI HA-ARETZ, ADONAI
MELEKH, Blessed beThy name unto the countless ages. Amen. (Give
the Sign of Zelator.)
Go Deosil to the North. Stand facing the center of the Earth Tablet. Visualize the
rest of the officer/ godforms falling into a hexagram position behind you. Hiereus
takes his place to right and slightly behind you. Hegemon takes her place to the
left and slightly behind you. Stolistes lines up behind Hiereus and Dadouchos
lines up behind Hegemon. The Keryx is behind you. Recite the Prayer of the
Gnomes or Earth Spirits:
o Invisible King, Who, taking the Earth for Foundation, didsthollow its
depths tofill themwith Thy Almighty Power. Thou whose Nameshaketh
theArches oftheWorld. Thou whocausest theSeven Metals toflow in the
veinsoftherocks, KingoftheSeven Lights, Rewarder ofthesubterranean
Workers, lead us intothedesirable Air andintotheRealm of Splendor. We
watch and we labor unceasingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve
stones of theHolyCity, by theburied talismans, by theAxis of the Lodestonewhich
passes through the center of the Earth-O Lord, 0 Lord, 0
Lord! Have pity upon those whosuffer. Expand our hearts, unbindand
upraise ourminds, enlarge ournatures.
o Stability andMotion! 0 Darkness veiled in Brilliance! 0 Dayclothed
in Night! 0 Master whonever dostwithhold thewages ofThy Workmen!

Diamond! Thou whowearest theHeavens on Thy Finger likea
ring of Sapphire! Thou Whohidest beneath the Earth in the Kingdom of
Gems, themarvelous Seed oftheStars! Live, reign, andbeThou the Eternal
Dispenser ofthe Treasures whereof Thou hastmade us theWardens.
Through the authority of the office of Hierophant bestowed upon you by Osiris,
banish the powers of the Earth Tablet. Trace with the Scepter of Power a large circle
in front of the Tablet. Then draw the banishing pentagram of Spirit Passive. As
you do so, vibrate "NANTA" (en-nah-en-tah), Trace the sigil of the Spirit wheel in
the center and intone "AGLA" (Ah-gah-lah). Give the Reversal Sign of the Spiraling
Light. Then trace the banishing pentagram of Earth. As you do so, vibrate the
name "EMOR DIALHECTAGA" (Ee-mor Dee-ahl Hect-tay-gah). Draw the sigil of
Taurus in the center and intone "ADONAI." Give the Sign of Zelator.
