Forces of Nature as with a garment, by Thy Holy and Divine Name Elohim (pronounce El-o-heem)
whereby Thou art known especially in that quarter we call Darom (pronounce Dar-omm), the South, I

I entreat Thee to cause Thy wonderful Archangel Michael, Who governeth the Works of Fire, to guide
me in the Pathway; and furthermore to direct Thine Angel Aral to watch over my footsteps therein.
May the ruler of Fire, the powerful Prince Seraph by the gracious permission of the Infinite Supreme,
increase and strengthen the hidden force and occult virtues of this Dagger that I may be enabled with it
to perform aright those Magical operations for which it has been fashioned. For which purpose I now
perform this rite of Consecration in the Divine Presence of Elohim.'
