Chapter 1
This Book is so rare and sought
after in our country it has been called, by our Rabbis, the true
Great Work. They were the ones who left us this precious original
that many charlatans uselessly wanted to counterfeit, attempting to
imitate the truth that they never found, in order to swindle
ingenuous individuals who have faith in initial encounters without
seeking their true Source.
This manuscript has been copied from
various writings of the great King Solomon. This great king spent all
of his days in the most difficult search and in the most obscure and
unexpected secrets. In the end he succeeded in all of his endeavors
and he reached his goal of penetrating the most profound dwelling of
the spirits, whom he obliged to obey him by the power of his
talisman, the clavicle, since who else but this powerful genius would
have dared bring to light the thundering words that he made use of to
constrain the rebel spirits to his will, having penetrated up to the
celestial beings to learn more thoroughly the secrets and the
powerful words that have the force of a terrible and respected God?
This great King discovered the
secrets of which the great Divinity made use, and then enabled us to
understand the influence of the stars, the constellation of the
planets. To prepare the fulminating (or Conjurer’s) rod, with its
effects which make the spirits tremble and of which God made use of
to arm the angel who expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden;
with which God struck down the Rebel Angels, precipitating their
pride (or imagination) into the most horrendous abyss. With the power
of this rod clouds are formed, hurricanes are dispersed and one can
make them fall on the part of the earth that one desires.
Chapter 2
Weak men and mortals! Tremble at
your temerity when you blindly think that you possess such a profound
science. You are taking your spirit beyond its spheres. Learn from me
that before undertaking this work it is necessary to be steadfast,
constant and most careful to observe exactly, point by point,
everything that I will tell you (without which) everything would
rebound to your disadvantage, confusion and total loss. If, to the
contrary, you comply exactly that which I tell you, you will leave
behind your baseness and indigence and you will have full success in
all of your enterprises.
Arm yourselves then with
intrepidation, prudence and virtuosity in order to succeed at this
great and immense task, at which I have spent 67 years working day
and night. To succeed at this great goal it is necessary to do
exactly that which I will hereby indicate.
—Solomon
Principio
You will pass a quarter of a month
abstaining from the company of the opposite sex, so as to not fall
into impurity.
Begin the quarter of a month by
promising to the great ADONAY, who is the leader of all of the
spirits to have two meals a day every 24 hours of the above-mentioned
quarter month, during which you will eat at midday and midnight, or
at seven in the morning and seven in the evening, reciting the
following prayer before dining for this entire period.
The manner in which one can make any
sort of spirit appear, reciting the great invocation that you will
find in this book. So also, the true method of preparation.
Prayer
"I implore you, O great and
powerful ADONAY, head of all spirits. I implore you O ELOHIM I
implore you O JEHOVA, O great King ADONAY, condescend to be
favorable. So it shall be. Amen.”
Then eat your meals, and don’t
undress, and sleep as little as possible for the prescribed quarter
of a month, continually thinking of your undertaking and putting all
of your faith and hope in the infinite good of the Great ADONAY.
The second day of this period, you
will buy a bloodstone called Ematille from the druggist and you will
always carry it with you and it will preserve you from all fears and
worries since the spirit that you intend to bring into your servitude
will do all that he can to dissuade you from your undertaking,
believing with these means to liberate himself and thereby break the
twines of the net that you begin to fasten around him. This. project
must be undertaken only by one other person, including the Karcist,
(the one who must speak to the spirit), keeping in his hand the
fulminating wand.
It is essential to choose a solitary
location for this operation, which is far from any uproar, so that
the operator is not interrupted. Following this, you will buy a young
virgin kid, that on the third day of the quarter you will adorn with
a garland of vervain (or, the sacred herb) which you will attach to
his head with a green ribbon. Then you will transport it to the place
that has been chosen for your operation; your right arm will be bare
to the shoulder, armed with a blade of pure steel, a fire of white
wood will be lit, you will say the following words with hope and
resolve.
First Offering
“I offer you this victim, O great
ADONAY, ELOHIM, ARIEL and JEHOVA, and this in the honor, glory and
power of your superior and to all if the spirits, be so kind, O great
ADONAY, as to appreciate it. Amen.”
Following this you will skin the kid
and take its skin, putting the rest of it in the fire until it is
reduced to ashes, which you will gather and throw to the rising Sun
pronouncing the following words:
“It is for the honor, glory and
power of your name, O ADONAY, ELOHIM, ARIEL and JEHOVA, that I shed
the blood of this victim. Deign yourself to accept these ashes, O
great ADONAY.”
While the sacrifice burns, rejoice
in the honor and glory of the great ADONAY, ELOHIM, ARIEL and JEHOVA
taking care to conserve the kids skin to make the round, or the grand
cabalistic circle in which you will stay the day of the great
undertaking. Containing the true composition of the mysterious or
fulminating wand as it is depicted here below.
