166:1 This prayer, like many others in the Grimoires which derive from the Clavicle, is
the introduction of a Christian compiler. The Key of Solomon has no Trinitarian
references and no crosses.
166:2 This process is identical with that of the Clavicle, the names only being mutilated.
166:3 i.e., Jah.
166:4 i.e., Elohim Tzabaoth.
166:5 As before, Anaireton and Simulator.
167:1 Psalms cxxxii. and cxvi. of the Vulgate.
§ 5. Concerning Virgin Wax or Virgin Earth 1
The candles used in evocation or in other magical experiences, and the images required
for bewitchment, must be composed of virgin wax or virgin earth--that is to say, the
substances in question must not have been applied previously to another purpose. 2
Before operating the following words must be recited over the material:--ENTABOR,
NATABOR, Si tacibor, ADONAY, AN, LAYAMON, TINARMES, EOS PHILODES. 3
Angels Of God, be ye present! I invoke you in my work, that I may obtain virtue by your
mediation and may be perfected very surely. Then recite the Psalms Domine, non est
exaltatum cor meum and Domine, quis habitabit, 4 adding these words: I exorcise thee,
creature of wax [or earth], and, by the Creator and God Almighty, Who created all things
from nothing by His Most Holy Name, and by His angels, I ordain thee to receive virtue
and benediction in His Name, that so thou mayst be sanctified and blessed, thus obtaining
that virtue which we desire, by the Most Holy Name ADONAY, which is the life of all
creatures, Amen. Asperge the substance with the holy water of the Art, after which
preserve it, to make use thereof when needed. So doing, says True Black Magic, thou
shalt obtain a sure result in all which thou undertakest. 5
