parchment and must be hung upon twelve crosses made of the wood
of cross-thorn. Upon the parchment you must write the names and
symbols according to the figure which follows. [see GIF included in
this series] Outside this first circle make the second as follows:
"First secure a thread of red silk that has been spun or twisted to the
left instead of the right. Then place in the ground twelve crosses made
of laurel leaves, and also prepare a long strip of new white paper.
Write with an unused pen the characters and symbols as seen on the
second circle. Wind this latter strip of paper around with the red silken
thread and pin them upon the twelve crosses of laurel leaves. Outside
this second circle make a third one which is also of virgin parchment
and pinned upon twelve crosses of consecrated palm. When you have
made these three circles, retire into them until at last you stand in the
center upon a pentagram drawn in the midst of the great cross first
drawn. Now, to insure success, do everything according to the
description, and when you have read off the sacred invocation
pronounce the name of the spirit which you desire to appear. It is
essential that you pronounce the name very distinctly. You must also
note the day and the hour, for each spirit can only be invoked at
certain times."
While the black magician at the time of signing his pact with the
elemental demon may be fully convinced that he is strong enough to
control indefinitely the powers placed at his disposal, he is speedily
undeceived. Before many years elapse he must turn all his energies to
the problem of self-preservation. A world of horrors to which he has
attuned himself by his own covetousness looms nearer every day,
until he exists upon the edge of a seething maelstrom, expecting
momentarily to to be sucked down into its turbid depths. Afraid to die
-- because he will become the servant of his own demon -- the
magician commits crime after crime to prolong his wretched earthly
existence. Realizing that life is maintained by the aid of a mysterious
universal life force which is the common property of all creaeures, the
black magician often becomes an occult vampire, stealing this energy
from others. According to mediaeval superstition, black magicians
turned themselves into werewolves and roamed the earth at night,
attacking defenseless victims for the life force contained in their
blood.
Form of pact with the spirit of Jupiter:
"The aforesaid Bond of Spirits, together with the seal and character of
the planetary angel, must be written on virgin parchment and laid
before the spirit (for signature) when he appears; at that time the
invocant must not lose confidence but be patient, firm, bold, and
persevering, and take care that he asks nor requires nothing of the
spirit but with a view to the glory of God and the well-being of His
fellow creatures. Having obtained the desires of the spirit, the
invocant may license him to depart."
"Form of Bond of Spirits Given in 1573
"I, Pabiel, ministering Spirit and messenger of the presiding and
ruling Spirit of Jupiter, appointed thereunto by the Creator of all
things visible and invisible, do swear, promise, and plight my faith
and troth unto thee in the presence and before the great [Heb.] Yod
Heh Vau Heh and the whole company and host of Heaven, and by all
the Holy Names of God do swear and bind myself unto thee by all the
contents of God's Sacred Writ, by the Incarnation, Death, and Passion,
by the Resurrection and glorious Ascension of JC, by all the holy
Sacraments, by the Mercy of God, by the Glory of Joys of Heaven, by
the forgiveness of sin and hope of eternal salvation, by the Great Day
of Doom, by all Angels, Archangels, Seraphim, Cherubim,
Dominations, Thrones, Principalities, Powers and Virtues, above
rehearsed, and by whatsoever else is holy or binding, do I swear,
promise, and vow unto thee that I will appear, come, and haste unto
thee and at all times and places and in all hours, days, and minutes,
from this time forward unto thy life's end wheresoever thou shalt call
me by my name or by my office, and I will come unto thee in what
form thou shalt desire, either visibly or invisibly, and will answer all
thy desires and give testimony thereof and let all the powers of
Heaven witness it.
"I have hereunto subscribed my hand and confirm my seal and
character unto thee. Amen."

Modus Operandi for the Invocation of Spirits
The following condensed extract from an ancient manuscript is
reproduced herewith as representative of the ritualismm of ceremonial
magic. The extract is from The Complete Book of Magic Science, an
unpublished manuscript (original in the British Museum), with
pentacles in colors, mentioned by Francis Barrett in his Magus.
"Opening Prayer
"Omnipotent and Eternal God who hath ordained the whole creation
for thy praise and glory and for the salvation of man, I earnestly
beseech thee that thou wouldst send one of thy spirits of the order of
Jupiter, one of the messengers of Zadkiel whom thou hast appointed
governor of thy firmament at the present time, most faithfully,
willingly, and readily to show me these things which I shall ask,
command or require of him, and truly execute my desires.
Nevertheless, O Most Holy God, thy will and not mine be done
through JC, thine only begotten Son our Lord. Amen.
"The Invocation.
[The magician, having properly consecrated his vestments and
utensils and being protected by his circle, now calls upon the spirits to
appear and accede to his demands. ]
"Spirits, whose assistance I require, behold the sign and the very
Hallowed Names of God full of power. Obey the power of this our
pentacle; go out your hidden caves and dark places; cease your hurtful
occupations to those unhappy mortals whom without ceasing you
torment; come into this place where the Divine Goodness has
assembled us; be attentive to our orders and known to our just
demands; believe not that your resistance will cause us to abandon our
operations. Nothing can dispense with your obeying us. We command
you by the Mysterious Names Elohe Agla Elohim Adonay Gibort.
Amen.
"I call upon thee, Zadkiel, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost, blessed Trinity, unspeakable Unity.
"I invoke and intreat thee, Zadkiel, in this hour to attend to the words
and conjurations which I shall use this day by the Holy Names of God

"I conjure thee, I exorcise thee, thou Spirit Zadkiel, by these Holy
Names Hagios O Theos Iscyros Athanatos Paracletus Agla on Alpha
et Omega loth Aglanbroth Abiel Anathiel Tetragrammaton: And by
all other great and glorious, holy and unspeakable, mysterious,
mighty, powerful, incomprehensible Names of God, that you attend
unto the words of my mouth, and send unto me Pabiel or other of your
ministering, serving Spirits, who may show me such things as I shall
demand of him in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost. Amen.
"I intreat thee, Pabiel, by the whole Spirit of Heaven, Seraphim,
Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations,Witnesses, Powers, Principalities,
Archangels, and Angels, by the holy, great, and glorious Angel
