Spirit of the Sky, Remember!
Take three more deep breaths, then stand up (if you have been sitting),
and walk a few steps around the room looking at all the objects that
might be there: furniture, pictures, etc. and touch a few of these
objects. This serves two purposes, one: it helps to solidify your
astral body if the preceding ritual has caused it to become overly
sensitive to passing vibrations, making it weak and vulnerable, and
two: it distracts the conscious mind from the basically unconscious
process that the ritual has just begun. Now, return to the table on
which your seal has been placed.
Step Six
Take the seal you have just made and cover it, or turn it over, or put
it away somewhere where no one will see it. The seal has been charged,
in a subtle way, and now can no longer be used for any other purpose
except what it was consecrated to do in your ritual. You must not use
the same seal twice for different goals, although you may use it twice
for the same goal, in case you wish to repeat your ritual the following
night. It is best not to repeat it for more than three consecutive
nights for reasons it would be too complicated to explain here.
Extinguish the candles and place them where you will find them easily
for your next ritual. They can be used again for any ritual, but must
never be used for simply lighting the room. Once used in a ritual from
the NECRONOMICON, they can be used for no other purpose save a similar
ritual from the NECRONOMICON. Do not use these candles for other
rituals (that is, from other spellbooks) or for any mundane purpose.
You must take these rituals quite seriously, and treat the tools you
use in a ritual with the same respect a carpenter has for his saw and
hammer, or a plumber for his wrench or a priest for his Bible. In a
way, by using these rituals, you have become a kind of priest or
priestess yourself for you have joined a select order of initiates that
has been practicing these and similar mystical rituals since the
beginning of recorded history.
Step Seven (optional)
Most of our readers and students have found it enormously valuable to
keep a written record of all rituals they perform, so that they can
easily assess what their results are by using any particular ritual or
spell. They can gauge how long it will take for a certain spell to
work, and also they can refresh their memory in the future with
accounts of all the successes they have enjoyed through using the
NECRONOMICON. The first time a spell works, you may want to believe
itÕs only a coincidence. But later, as time goes by and more and more
of your spells are working, with phenomenal results, it's good to go
back and look through your magickal diary to see just how wrong you
were about coincidence and to prove to yourself once and for all that,
yes, magick does work!
