With the magical weapon trace the Hexagram of Fire in the East, saying, “ARARITA” (KJïniOtf). This word consists of the initiais of a sen¬ tence which means “One is His beginning : One is His Individuality : His Permutation is One.” Phis hexagram consists of two équilatéral triangles, both apices pointing upwards. Begin at the top of the upper triangle and trace it in a dextro-rotary direction. The top of the lower triangle and trace it in a dextro-rotary direction. The top of the lower should coincide with the central point of the upper triangle. (IX). Trace the Hexagram of Earth in the South, saying “ARARITA”. This Hexa¬ gram has the apex of the lower triangle pointing downwards, and it should be capable of inscription in a circle. (X). Trace the Hexagram of Air in the West, “saying ARARITA”. This Hexa¬ gram is like that of Earth ; but the bases of the triangles coincide, forming a diamond. 6
