explicit and particular. It is true also that the one has recourse to Adonai and implores his
assistance, while the others invoke the powers of Hell.
The Book of True Black Magic for once ignores the experience of the Clavicle and
substitutes the following:--
Concerning the Experiment of Love
Whatsoever person be the object of this experiment, whether man or woman, it is needful
in making it to observe the proper day and hour. Note further that it is performed by
means of an image of wax or other suitable matter. Before composing it, say the
following words over the wax: NOGA, JES, ASTROPOLIM, ASMO, COCCAV,
BERMONA, TENTATOR, SOIGNATOR--I conjure you, ministers of love and
incontinence, by Him who hath condemned you to hell! Do ye consecrate this wax in a
regular manner, that it may acquire the desired virtue, by the Power of the Most Holy
Adonay, Who liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. Amen.
The image must then be composed and suitable characters inscribed thereon with the
male goose-quill of the Art, after which it must be fumigated while reciting the following
words:--O thou most Powerful King PAYMON, whose absolute rule and reign is in the
western quarter! O thou, EGIM, Most strong King, whose empire is in the cold region! O
thou, ASMODEUS, who governest in the South! O thou, AYMAMON, Most noble
p. 301
King, monarch of the Eastern world, whose reign began from of old and will endure to
the end of time! I invoke and beseech you by Him Who spake and it was, Whose sole
word hath created all, Whom all creatures obey; by the seat of His Majesty; by His Will
and His Name; by Him Who was before the ages and hath created the ages; Whose Name
is written with the four letters JOD, HE, VAU, HE; by the enchantments and power
thereof; and by all the signal Names of the Creator; I conjure you to consecrate this
image and grant that it may acquire virtue according to our desire, by the Most Holy
Name Adonay, the Power of which is without beginning or end.
This being done, conjure with the Conjuration of the image, and if the woman or man
should not appear, place the said image beneath the pillow of your bed, and before three
days you shall behold admirable things, while chains or earth shall not stay the desired
person from coming to you, for the fulfilment of your purpose, nothing being excepted.
But if the experience be to find the beloved person, place the image under the door which
he or she must pass. In either case a powder must be made and cast upon the person, or
given them with their meat or drink. The solemnities of the hours, matters and
instruments must be faithfully observed, and the Spirits conjured by name, saying also: I
conjure and constrain you, ye Devils, who have the power to disturb the hearts of men
and women! By Him Who hath created you from nothing and by this image, I conjure you
this night into my presence, that I may have the power to compel whomsoever I will to
love me, whether male or female.
