Facing East, in the centre, draw deep deep deep thy breath closing thy mouth with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then dashing down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy breath, cry AãO ãANTOä KAKOAIMONOä. With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say äOI, thy member, and say ê èAïïE {Note 1}, thy right shoulder, and say IäXYPOS, thy left shoulder, and say EYXAPIäTOä; then clasp thine hands, locking the fingers, and cry IAê. Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in thy forehead. Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth, making the sign of Horus and roar éîPION. Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor-paar-Kraat. Go round to the North and repeat; but say NUIT. Go round to the West and repeat; but whisper BABALON. Go round to the South and repeat; but bellow HADIT. Completing the circle widdershins, retire to the centre and raise thy voice in the Paian, with these words Iê ãAN, with the signs of N.O.X. Extend the arms in the form of a Tau and say low but clear: ãPO MOY IYââEä OãIXê MOY TEïETAPXAI EãI EðIA XYNOXEä EãAPIäTEPA AIMONOä èïEâEI âAP ãEPI MOY O AäTHR TêN ãENTE KAI EN THI äTHGHI ê AäTHR TêN Eð EäTHKE. Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin. ---------------- 1.
