Protective Magick

Consecration of the Abrasax Stone1. The temple should be established with a single white candle at each of

the points of the pentagram; that is to say one before the magus who stands facing east, one each at his left and right, one to the rear left of the temple and one to the rear right. The incense should be frankincense and storax. On the altar, prepare a chalice or wine glass of water into which you have mixed salt and baking soda.

2. Open the rite by the Calling of the Sevenths.

3. Circumambulate counterclockwise, lighting the candle at each point while reciting:

Anax Sabrex Apemenon Borau Peritrara Nouannoonospetal Kenon Onesinne

4. Return to the center of the temple, facing East. Ignite the incense and invoke:

Ho! Sax, Amun, Sax, Abrasax; for thou art the moon, the chief of the stars, he that did form them, listen to the things that I have said, follow the proceedings of my mouth, reveal thyself to me, Than, Thana, Thanatha, otherwise Thei, this is thy correct name

I invoke you, The one who governs from heaven to earth,From earth to heaven,The great one, whose name is the number of days in the year, Thou who art our father,You, who dwelleth in the light of ElelethYou, who preside over the Sun, its rising!

5. Dip the amulet into the chalice, incant:

ABRASAX (vibrated 365 times)3

By your name I make this amulet so that it may fortify me! I bind the rocks of the earth and tie down the mysteries of heaven! I overcome all demons and harmful spirits in the world, all powers aligned against me and all enmity! In the name of Gabriel, the mighty angel,In the name of Yeho’el .In the name of Yah, Yah, Yah, Sabaoth .Amen, Amen, Selah

2 The seven Greek vowels, vibrated 21 times each. Pronunciations for these vowels are given in the chapter on Securing Space.3 For exercises of this sort, requiring multiple repetitions of the words of power, my SOP is to use a string of beads containing an appropriate number of beads which can then be counted while chanting the given name. In this case, I use a string containing 120 beads. As I chant the name I count the full string thrice, then repeat the name 5 times more.
