Occult Blog

This is the first article in a new blog series. In it information about a wide range of magical practices will be shared from time to time.

This article is on making and using pentacle 47 in The Key of Solomon. The pentacle is used to call the Spirits of Mercury, called the Allatori. The Allatori obey very quickly. It is used to acquire understanding and knowledge of hidden things, and can be used to send and receive information telepathically.

The pentacle is drawn in brown ink on parchment, cut out of the piece of parchment, and consecrated. The way to consecrate it is to pass it through incense, frankincense will do, while mentally clearing it of all obscurations, and blessing it as a creature of art in the Holy Names of God.

When you are ready to use the pentacle, hold it up and bless it in the Holy Name, Elohim Tzabaoth (God of Hosts), the Archangel Michael, the Angel Raphael, and the host of Angels called the B'ni Elohim (sons of God).

At the center of the pentacle is the Holy Name Alef Lamed (EL). Around the Name is a dodecagram with the letters that make up the sentence, "IHVH, fix the volatile, and let there be restriction unto the void." And around the versicle is, "Wisdom andd virtue are in his house, and the knowledge of all things remain with him forever."

The dodecagram is delineated by a 12 pointed star configuration, each point of which, in astrology, is called a Finger of God.

An effective way to use the pentacle is to lie down, put the pentacle on your heart, go into a deep trance of concentration, then watch and listen. You can also send the Spirits to deliver messages and to come back to report to you.

A good way of preparing yourself for this exercise when lying down is to see the light shining above your head, at your throat, your solar plexus, your genitals, and at your feet. Then see yourself entirely surrounded by an orb of light extending from below your feet to above your head with the light coursing up through your center, out the top of your head, and down the boundaries of the orb of light that surrounds you. This sets up a field of protection that no trickster spirit can enter.

Address the Allitori Spirits with whatever you want to find out. Answers can be very interesting and illuminating, and can expand our understanding of matters of concern.
