The Initial Rites and Ceremonies.
CONCERNING INCENSE AND FUMIGATION.
The Grimorium Verum prescribes a cruse or chafing-dish for fumigation, adding somewhat redundantly that it should be :filled with freshly kindled coal and fresh fire, the whole blazing. Place aromatics thereon, and perfume what you would, saying: Angels of God, be our help, and by you be our work fulfilled! ZAZAY, SALMAY, DALMAY,ANGERECTON, LEDRiON, AMISOR, EUCHEY, OR! Great Angels! And do thou also, 0 AooNAY, be present and impart hereto such virtue that this creature may receive a form whereby our work may be accomplished! In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Recite the Seven Psalms which follow Judicium tuum Regi da and Laudate Dominum omnes gentea.
The perfumes are aloes wood and incense for most occasions, and mace for the fumigation of the circle. "The Book of True Black Magic'' omits mace and substitutes benzoin and storax, and any others at choice, but without distinction as to the circle. The following Prayers, Exorcisms, and Benedictions to be said over the aromatic perfumes occur in the two Rituals, the first and third being common to both, and borrowed from the ''Key of Solomon''; the second, also referable to the same source, is not found in the Grimorium Verum.
First exorcism.
O God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, vouchsafe to bless and sanctify these creatures, of whatsoever species they may be, so that they may obtain virtue and power to discern good spirits from bad, even phantoms and enemies, through Thee O Adonay, who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.
SEСOND EXORCISM.
I exorcise thee, O impure Spirit, who art the phantom of the Enemy. In the name of God Almighty, come out from this kind, with all thy falsehood and wickedness, so that it may become sanctified and exorcised, in the Name of God Almighty, that all virtues may inspire those who partake of this odour, that the Spirit of God may descend, and the virtue of the Lord manifest, in the burning of this species, and that no phantom may dare to accost it. Through the Ineffable Name of God Almighty. Amen.
THIRD EXORCISM.
Deign, O Lord, to sanctify this creature, so that it may become a signal remedy for the human race, and the salvation of our souls and bodies, through the invocation of thy Most Holy Name, that so all creatures who inhale the smoke of this kind may have health of body and soul.. Through that Lord who hast created the ages of ages. So be it. This done, sprinkle the perfumes with exorcised water, and set them aside in the silken cloth. for use as prescribed. When you would fumigate anything, take new coal which has not been kindled, set it alight, and while it is still black, exorcise it, saying:
EXORCISM OF THE LIGHTED COAL.
I exorcise thee, O creature of Fire, by Him who hath made all things! Do thou expel from thee all phantoms, so that they may in no wise harm or trouble us in our work, by the invocation of the Most High Creator. Amen. O Saviour, Almighty and merciful, bless Thy creature of this kind, so that no harm may come to him who shall make use of it. Amen. In concluding this portion of its ceremonial, "The Book of True Black Magic" states that there are occasions on which perfumes of a stinking or malodorous kind must be used; the same should be prepared, saying: Adonay,Lazay, Delmay, Amay, Saday, Eloy, by the invocation, O Saviour, of Thy Most Holy Name, vouchsafe us, through this kind, the help of Thy grace, and may it assist us in all things which we need to fulfil; may all malice pass out therefrom, and may it be blessed and sanctified in Thy most powerful Name. Amen. Asperge the stinking perfume with exorcised water, place it in the silken cloth, and use it as needed, but always in the name of the Most Holy AooNAY. So doing, thou shalt obtain thy desire, says the "Manuscript discovered at Jerusalem in the Sepulchre of Solomon."
