If you
do not understand, or know how to
perform, any part of this ritual, please do not hesitate to ask me for
guidance. I consider it far better
to ask than to proceed in the darkness of ignorance. And we all can plead “ignorant” on any subject until we
learn something about it. The
first step in learning comes when you say, "I do not know."
For this
ritual you need a small bowl of salt
and a larger bowl of water.
Place them before you on the Altar. Start by performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the
Pentagram. After you have built up
your circle, recite:
"Holy art Thou, Lord of the Universe!
Holy art Thou, Whom Nature hath
not formed!
Holy art Thou! the Vast and Mighty
One!
Lord of the Light and of the
Darkness!"
Now point
to the salt with your index and middle
fingers extended (bend the third and forth fingers towards the palm and lay the
thumb upon their nails) and say:
"I exorcise
thee, creature of the earth,
by virtue of the Living God, the Seven Mighty Elohim. all the Angels,
Archangels, and the Cosmic Legions of the Light. Be thou purified of all evil
influences in the Name, Love, Wisdom, and Power of Tetragrammaton Who rules
over Earth, Heaven, and the Underworld!"
Extend
your hand over the salt, palm downwards,
and say:
"Creature
of the Earth, adore thy Creator!
In the Name of the Unknowable God and by virtue of the Power of Tetragrammaton,
I consecrate you in sacred service."
Point
to the Water and repeat the entire
invocation as above with the salt (making the appropriate substitution). Now
cast the salt into the water and, with hand extended over the water, say:
"I pray
Thee, Almighty and Ever-Living
God, Ruler of Heaven and Earth, and of all that exists in them, both visible
and invisible, that Thou mayst stretch forth the Right Hand of Thy Power upon
these creatures of the Elements and hallow them in Thy Holy Name. Grant that this
salt shall make for
health of body and this water for health of the soul, and that there may be banished
from the place where they are used every power of adversity and every illusion
and artifice of evil."
To use
this Holy Water for Exorcism of a space,
first cense the area then sprinkle the water to the four corners while saying:
"In
the Name which is above every other name, and by the power of Tetragrammaton,
the Seven Mighty Elohim, all the Angels, Archangels, and Cosmic Legions of
Light, I exorcise all influences and seeds of evil; I lay upon them the spell
of the Power and Holiness that they may be bound fast as with chains and cast
into the outer darkness that they trouble not the servants of God."
