To be used as a potent Banishing spell, but only infrequently as necessity demands, e.g. against peculiarly recalcitrant spirits. For regular banishing use the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram or similar. This Exorcism was utilized by Aleister Crowley during the Invocation of the Thirty Aetyhrs near Bou Saada (Algeria) in 1909.
Mighty
One save me from Hell's dark gloom
Guard my spirit from the
demons' tomb
Into their dread abodes without fright
I will
proclaim thy will, the Law of Light!
I
bid the sky shew forth the shining spheres:
Sun arise, and Moon
shine sharp and clear!
Into their dread abodes without fright
I
will proclaim thy will, the Law of Light!
Their
names and forms are evil and strange,
Yet they by thy magick will
I change!
The nameless horrors I bind without fright;
I now
proclaim thy will, the Law of Light!
These
phantoms pale of my inner view
None but thee their wasted beauty
can renew;
To the Abyss, I plunge without fright:
I have
proclaimed thy will, the Law of Light!
