THE VISION AND THE VOICE
since he reverenceth the Person of the Seer as his Teacher, let
the Seer bind him with a great Oath to do this.
Now, then, the Seer being entered within the triangle, let
him take the Victims and cut their throats, pouring the blood
within the Triangle, and being most heedful that not one drop
fall without the Triangle; or else Choronzon should be able to
manifest in the universe.
And when the sand hath sucked up the blood of the
victims, let him recite the Call of the Aethyr apart secretly as
aforesaid. Then will the Vision be revealed, and the Voice
heard.
The Oath
I, Omnia Vincam, a Probationer of A.-.A.°., hereby
solemnly promise upon my magical honour, and swear by
Adonai the angel that guardeth me, that I will defend this
magic circle of Art with thoughts and words and deeds. I
promise to threaten with the Dagger and command back into
the triangle the spirit incontinent, if he should strive to escape
from it; and to strike with a Dagger at anything that may
seek to enter this Circle, were it in appearance the body of the
Seer himself. And I will be exceeding wary, armed against
force and cunning; and I will preserve with my life the
inviolability of this Circle, Amen.
And I summon mine Holy Guardian Angel to witness this
mine oath, the which if I break, may I perish, forsaken of
Him. Amen and Amen.
THE Cry OF THE 10TH AETHYR, THAT IS CALLED ZAX
There is no being in the outermost Abyss, but constant
forms come forth from the nothingness of it.
