THE EQUINOX
In nomine BABALON
Amen.
Restriction unto Choronzon.
THE TENTH AETHYR IS CALLED ZAX.
This Aethyr being accursed, and the seer forewarned, he
taketh these precautions for the scribe.
First let the scribe be seated in the centre of the circle in
the desert sand, and let the circle be fortified by the Holy
Names of God—Tetragrammaton and Shaddai El Chai and
Ararita.
And let the Demon be invoked within a triangle, wherein
is inscribed the name of Choronzon, and about it let him
write ANAPHAXETON - ANAPHANETON - PRIMEU-
MATON, and in the angles MI-CA-EL: and at each angle the
Seer shall slay a pigeon, and having done this, let him retire
to a secret place, where is neither sight nor hearing, and sit
within his black robe, secretly invoking the Aethyr. And let
the Scribe perform the Banishing Rituals of the Pentagram
and Hexagram, and let him call upon the Holy Names of
God, and say the Exorcism of Honorius, and let him beseech
protection and help of the Most High.
And let him be furnished with the Magick Dagger, and let
him strike fearlessly at anything that may seek to break
through the circle, were it the appearance of the Seer himself.
And if the Demon pass out of the triangle, let him threaten
him with the Dagger, and command him to return. And let
him beware lest he he himself lean beyond the circle. And
