To many of my "Chelas" {stu- dents) nave | told thatthe historical story of Alladin was falsely interpreted by our historians and that the true significance of the Alladin's Lamp was basically mysti- cal and that the invocator nad merely to fub the soul of the Lamp to invoke the genii. The devoted student of occultism and the mere curiosity-seeker may both differ in the adherence to tne rituals that I will Set forth just as 1 have interpreted them from the ancients. Those of you who seekonly to gain success, may gain it--but tne great resuitwillbe, for it issurely writ- ten "That he who uses the works of the ma~ gician falsely, shall himself be falsely accused," In the following pages you will find many ways that | have invokea very many aifferent Spirits, Demons, Angels and Gob- lins, 1 implore you; those of you wno will attempt the invocation of either gooa or bad Demons, Spirits, Angels or Goblins to do so with the greatest amount of self-re- spect and confidence. For, | nave found in many years of experience that those who supply the actions of God be not seriously considering the strain. Of the many invo- cations included, you will find them as an analysis of the great Solar Intelligences, and interpretation leading to an awareness and complete appreciation. Let me, at this point, pause and go into what | think the uses of so many of our friends are desirous—-of this midgen knowledge whicn | feel nas been revealed forthe first time. Inancient times, there is record that certainmysties invoked many a spirit to do his bidding. Some histor i- cal records show that Cleopatra compelled an enemy to lose his power to harm her and forced nim to become a slave and lover, by ner magical use of scented oils and Sorcery. At this time a great cult in Egypt was a Sacred and mystic legion in which Isis and Asoris were Deities. The practitioners and priest in this cult, by a hign invocation,were said, able to leave the body and as- cena to the 7th Heaven to make compacks with Isis, the Immortal of Immortals. As the story istold, this son of anignh priest _ Was Sent to use his magical art in forcing the nelp and consent of Cleopatra to the aidof his secret orcer. By ner great sor— cery, She conjured the forces of a great demon which destroyed his power and caused him to become ner slave. When the great priests of the order learned of this, they immediately induced high and mighty invo- cations and commanded demons and yoblins, anu secondary spirits of evil and lust, to wreck ner whole kingdom which is shawn to us by historical account of the fall of Cleopatra by her own hands. Shakespeare, in theplay "The Tempest," clearly reveals that in the Elizabethan Age tne work of the invocator and conjurer was understood, andits art practiced with great zeal. For Ariel, agreat demon, it issaid, was invoked by the Duke of Milan to cause the gestruction of his enemey who nad ba- nisned him to a desert island. From the earliest historical times, we have found tracesof the many uses of invo— Cations that are nidden to the untrained eye but vividly clear to the invocating magi- cian. Many nistorians, occult and other— wise, have shown us tnat sucn menas Gilles de Retz, Robert Owen, Or. Hodgson, Joan of Arc, Swedenberg acquired great wealth, riches, friends, and power by invocating tcertain demons, spirits, godlins, and an- gels to ao their oidding. There are few limitations to the poss jiesof tne at- Tainment of the spirits, gemons, goblins and angels, for tney are bound by a force mightier than mignt to carry out the bide Gings of those that invoke them. There is no dimension Jimiting them, nor is tnere any finite time. Theirs is tne power of the ultimate consciousness. 1, do hereby say, witnout fear of any contradiction, that it has been revealed to me tnrougn many, many years of research that the ancients have invoked many of tne demons, goblins, angels and spirits to do their vidding ana | sincerely believe that today, to the gifted and the earnest and the fearlessand the pure, the nidden powers of magic is still open. The person who seeks love, luck, suc- cess, riches, prosperity, gold, treasures, lost ones, etc. can, if they desire, by following the acts of the ancients, tread their mystical patneways in accomplishing tne seemingly impossinole things to their greatest advantage. For knowing that a Spirit, demon or a goblin properly invoked --must carry out the bidding of his invo- cator. The limitations of the invocator's demand are very small and it is my belief that, witha proper understanding and carry ing out of the instructions, any person may be able to invoke any spirit, demon or goo- lin at his command, LEWIS DE CLAREMONT 8CHAPTER | SECRET PROCEDURE IN ORDER TO MAKE AN INVOCATION. First, from the list contained herein, choose a spirit, gemon, goolin or angel, or a spirit of a frieno or close relative, set a day Tor invucating them and prepare in the following manner: a day prior to the invocation shall oe devoted toa tast. For 24 nours, tne person must take no | iquid or Solid fooa. As the nour approaches, set cy tne ma~ gician tor the invocation, ail mirrors snoulc be covered uy white clotn, and all glass snail be covered. Anything that might reflect 4 living thing and not a living thing should ve covered tor spirits, Gemons, yoolins and angels Teel of fencea when a snining thing is placed in front of inen and they do not see themselves in it. Now, 7 nours before the time set Tor the inv cation, the invocator burns tne incense desires. Tnis is found numerea beside the nane of the spirit listed on the back of tne cook. He then moves ail furniture to the Siges uf the room, leavinya clear~ ance in the center, removing all rugs ana clotns from tne floor so tnat notning out the bare floor can ve seen, Then, maxing a luge circle, avout % 14 feet in diameter witncnalk, preterably Drayon Elood drand Chalk, he writes tne noly worgs: Tetr gramaton and writes his own name anu tne nam of father and the name of nis motner in the circie Placing tne incense also in tne circle ana tigntin, 2 candles on both sides of the incense, tne colur designated in the /ist, he then lets them burn for I2 minutes to show the light, tnen extinguishes tneTHE ANCIENT'S BOOK OF MAGIC lights from the candies and lets the incense burn and removes to the bathroom. Here he bathes, after having placed an amount of sanctuary oii in the tub. After having bathed himself and anoited him. self pleasingly with oils, he rubs his forehead with powder which will later be given, Then ne dresses himself placing the Tsitsus clase to nis cody, and puts on nis regular clothes and places the invocator's gon aver tnem. The talis, he puts. on top of them and binds his head and forehead with the Phylectary. He then takes the stick and walks to tne room wnere he nas drawn the circle and enters into the circle, Once ne enters into tne circle with his bouks, wands, incense and all things ne needs, he: oraws the outer circie avout 3 incnes away from the circlenenas already arawn and inithe then bignts tne cangles, sprays the perfume and re-lignts the incense and opens to the first invocation as con= tained in the book. Tneoperator must renemer not to leave this circle during tne whole invocation until the closing words have been Said, for as long as he remains in the circle, mo matter how fierce ine cemons may be ley cannot break throug the Walls of the circle, for they are bound and pro tected by the fiery pillars of Jericno and he is protectea by the Legion of 72 who forma protecting ring around the circle whence no one can force their way through, in defense of the consequence of the Higner Intelligence.
