Preparation for the foregoing
ritual:
Write the formula (“AŌTH
ABRAŌTH BASYM ISAK SABAŌTH IAŌ.”)
on a new sheet of papyrus, and after extending it from one of your
temples to the other, read the six
names,
while you face the North
saying:
“Subject
to me all daimons, so that every daimon, whether heavenly or aerial
or earthly or subterranean or terrestrial or aquatic, might be
obedient to me and every enchantment and scourge which is from God.”
And all Daimons will be obedient to you.
The
beneficial sign is: “:>” [Note: The two points “:” are at
the direct center of both lines of the “>”.]
“I
summon you, Headless One, who created earth and heaven, who created
night and day, you who created the Light and the Darkness; you are
Osonnophris whom none has ever seen; you are Iabas; you are Iapos;
you have distinguished the just from the unjust; you have made female
and male; you have revealed seed and fruits; you have made men love
each other and hate each other.
“I
am Moses your prophet to whom you have transmitted your mysteries
celebrated by Israel; you have revealed the moist and the dry and all
nourishment; hear me.
“I
am the messenger of Pharoah Osoronnophris; this is your true name
which has been transmitted to the prophets of Israel. Hear me,
ARBATHIAŌ
REIBET ATHELEBERSĒTH ARA BLATHA ALBEU EBENPHCHI CHITASGOĒ IBAŌTH
IAŌ;
listen to me and turn away this daimon.”
“I
call upon you, awesome and invisible god with an empty spirit,
AROGOGOROBRAŌ
SOCHOU MODORIŌ PHALARCHAŌ OOO.
Holy Headless One, deliver him, NN, from the daimon that restrains
him, ROUBRIAŌ
MARI ŌDAM BAABNABAŌTH ASS ADŌNAI APHNIAŌ ITHŌLETH ABRASAX AĒŌŌY;
mighty Headless One, deliver him, NN, from the daimon which restrains
him. MABARRAIŌ
IOĒL KOTHA ATHORĒBALŌ ABRAŌTH,
deliver him, NN, AŌTH
ABRAŌTH BASYM ISAK SABAŌTH IAŌ.
“He
is the Lord of the Gods; he is the Lord of the Inhabited World; he is
the one whom the winds fear; he is the one who made all things by
command of his voice.”
“Lord,
King, Master, Helper, save the soul, IEOU
PYR IOU IAŌT IAĒŌ IOOU ABRASAX SABRIAM OO YY EY OO YY ADŌNAIE,
immediately, immediately, good messenger of God ANLALA
LAI GAIA APA DIACHANNA CHORYN.”
“I
am the Headless Daimon with sight in my feet; I am the mighty one who
possesses the immortal fire; I am the truth who hates the fact that
unjust deeds are done in the world; I am the one who makes the
lightning flash and the thunder roll; I am the one whose sweat falls
upon the earth as rain so that it can inseminate it; I am the one
whose mouth burns completely; I am the one who begets and destroys; I
am the Favor of the Aion; my name is a Heart Encircled by a Serpent;
Come Forth and Follow.”

In the event I got anything wrong – like missed a line or messed up transcribing the Voces Mageia, let me know and I'll be sure to fix it. R.O. And I recently agreed that it ought to be online. I may talk more about the ritual shortly... Or just keep my thoughts to myself. Y'know. 'Cuz I'm no JSK or anything.

The ritual also recently showed up in Mike C.'s Book of Abraxas, which I'll be reviewing soon! Buy that shit while you can, man. Because it's fucking gorgeous!

Thank you for this (tho' I own the PGM, this I can copy and paste). Also, I wait with bated breath your review of the Book of Abrasax.
LOL. I have both a physical copy of Betz first volume, and a digital one. But C&P always fucks up when it comes to the VM, and I'm fanatical about those being right.
Dieter. It's. spelt. Dieter.
FIXED.
Oh, yeah. If anyone missed VI's recent post on this subject, I totally recommend it. I'll probably link it again in the future.
Spooky Jack, I was only thinking about that special forum & said ritual the other day - hell I even wrote about it! Some days I really miss those days, and the times we had, though had the universe not intervened, we may have blown at least 3/4 of the universe up by now :p
What do you do with the beneficial sign, write it on the papyrus after the six names?
