Through the authority of the office of Hierophant bestowed upon you by Osiris,
banish the powers of the Air Tablet. Trace with the Wand a large circle in front of
the Tablet. Then draw the banishing pentagram of Spirit Active. As you do so
vibrate "EXARP" (ex-ar-pay). Trace the sigil of Spirit in the center and intone
"EHEIEH" (Eh-hey-yay). Give the Reversal Sign of the Spiraling Light. Then trace
the banishing pentagram of Air. As you do so vibrate the name "ORO IBAH
AOZPI" (Or-oh Ee-bah-hay Ah-oh-zohd-pee). Draw the sigil of Aquarius in the
center and intone "YHVH." Give the Sign of Theoricus.
Give the License to Depart by saying:
Depart ye in peace unto yourhabitations. May theblessing ofYOD HEH
VAV HEH rest with yeo Be there peace between us, and be ye ready to
come when ye arecalled. (Knock.)
Return the office of Hierophant to the dominion of Osiris in the Eastern part of
the Hall.
The goddess Thme comes to your side. She leads you to the station of the Keryx
where she traces the figure of the cross and triangle in the Air. The godform of
Anubis salutes with the Projection Sign-Thme answers with the Sign of Silence.
Anubis slowly fades from view. In this manner, Thme releases the other godforms
in the Hall: Horus, Osiris and the godforms on the Dais. All the astral entities in
the Hall begin to fade from view.
