The Opening of the Temple Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram Perform the Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram. Knock 11 times and say. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It is my will to open this temple of Art, that I may consecrate the Magickal Sword. . He moves to the East and gives the adoration from Resh. He moves to the South and gives the adoration from Resh. He moves to the West and gives the adoration from Resh. He moves to the North and gives the adoration from Resh. He returns to the center facing east and before the Stele in the sign of adoration he invokes: Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath, Supreme and terrible God, Who makest the gods and death To tremble before Thee:I, I adore thee! Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu! Lighten the ways of the Ka! The ways of the Khabs run through To stir me or still me! Aum! let it fill me! The light is mine; its rays consume Me: I have made a secret door Into the House of Ra and Tum, Of Khephra and of Ahathoor. I am thy Theban, O Mentu, The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu! By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat; By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell. Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit! Bid me within thine House to dwell, O winged snake of light, Hadit! Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!" He then makes eleven revolutions of the circle always remembering to project the force before him. He returns to the Altar facing East and prays:

Holy art Thou Lord of the Aeon Holy art Thou whom nature has not formed Holy art Thou, the vast and mighty one Lord of the light and of the darkness The Consecration Proper He purifies the Sword with a mixture of Water and Salt saying the following: For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. He consecrates the Sword with Fire and Air (Incense) saying the following: I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain hard upon thy Body. With the wand he makes the Unicursal Hexagram of the Sun before the Sword and in the sign of the Enterer he empowers the sword with the vibration of AbraHadAbra! When the force has manifested within the Sword he places it on the altar and says the following prayer: Aiwaz! Confirm my troth with thee! My will inspire with secret sperm of subtle, free, creating Fire! Mould thou my very flesh as Thine, renew my birth In childhood merry as divine, enchenated earth! Dissolve my rapture in Thine own, a sacred slaughter Whereby to capture and atone the soul of water! Fill thou my mind with gleaming Thought intense and rare To One refined, outflung to naught, the Word of Air! Most, bridal bound, my quintessential Form thus freeing From self, be found one Selfhood blent in Spirit Being. He takes the Sword and touches it to the Stele chanting until he and the Sword become one: A ka dua Tuf ur biu Bi aa chefu Dudu ner af an nuteru He anoints the sword with the Holy Oil of Abramelin with the following words:

Be this consecrated Sword Not abhorred before the Lord! A guard of Steel, a tongue of flame Writing in adamant His Name! Puissant against the Hosts of Evil! A mighty fence against any Devil! A snake of lightning to destroy Them that work Mischief and Annoy! The Closing At the center let him proclaim: Saith of Mentu the truth-telling brother Who was master of Thebes from his birth: O heart of me, heart of my mother! O heart which I had upon earth! Stand not thou up against me a witness! Oppose me not, judge, in my quest! Accuse me not now of unfitness Before the Great God, the dread Lord of the West! For I fastened the one to the other With a spell for their mystical girth, The earth and the wonderful West, When I flourished, o earth, on thy breast! The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Saith with his voice of truth and calm: O thou that hast a single arm! O thou that glitterest in the moon! I weave thee in the spinning charm; I lure thee with the billowy tune. The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Hath parted from the darkling crowds, Hath joined the dwellers of the light, Opening Duaut, the star-abodes, Their keys receiving. The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Hath made his passage into night, His pleasure on the earth to do Among the living. Eleven revolutions are made in reverse. Upon reaching the altar let him proclaim with a single knock: Love is the law, love under will.

He concludes by Banishing. He arms himself with his sword and enters the realm of men with mirth and thanksgiving.
