A Note Concerning Conjurations and Formulae It is important to note that within the Conjurations of the Sacred Letters the Genii of each Letter are frequently addressed as though being both sin- gular and plural simultaneously.
In addressing the Singular and the Collective simultaneously in a single conjuration the transvocation of both is intended. Therefore address the Conjurations to the Sacred Letters themselves. Since these Formulae and Conjurations are only a basis for the Work of a Practitioner, he or she should adapt and apply them according to the predilection of their own Path.

Book of eibon. Egyptian necronomicon. In one sense, this is the central sacred text of the Wicca religion. However, it is important to point out that there is no 'official' Book of Shadows.
Typically each coven has a hand-written copy of a Book of Shadows, sometimes in cypher or code, which reflects its own practices and knowledge. This particular text is derived from a file posted on the Internet in the early 90s, and quotes previously published material which was known to be in use by Gardner and his group.
The Book of Shadows was attributed by Gardner to an ancient, clandestine witch cult, which he claimed to have been initiated into. However, modern researchers have concluded that it was composed by Gardner. This version organizes the material in chronological order and has estimated dates for each section, ranging from to Because the Book of Shadows was never formally copyrighted or even attributed to an author, its copyright status is dubious.
This version was compiled by Aidan A. Kelly and was originally posted on the Internet in the mids as part of the Internet Book of Shadows material. Text in square brackets is Kelly's commentary. Furniture may be placed to indicate the bounds.
The only circle that matters is the one drawn before every ceremony with either a duly consecrated Magic Sword or an Athame. The circle is usually nine feet in diameter, unless made for some very special purpose. There are two outer circles, each six inches apart, so the third circle has a diameter of eleven feet. Make in all 3 circles, one within the other , and write names of power between these.
Magus, kneeling in front of her, draws pentacle on her body with Phallus-headed Wand, invokes, "I Invoke and beseech Thee, O mighty Mother of all life and fertility. By seed and root, by stem and bud, by leaf and flower and fruit, by Life and Love, do I invoke Thee to descend into the body of thy servant and High Priestess [name]. If there be an initiation, then at this time the Magus and the High Priestess in Goddess position Arms Crossed says the Charge while the Initiate stands outside the circle.
Whenever ye have need of anything, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, ye shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who am Queen of all Witcheries and magics. There ye shall assemble, ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets. To these will I teach things that are yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery, and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites, both men and women, and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music, and love, all in my praise.
There is a Secret Door that I have made to establish the way to taste even on earth the elixir of immortality. I give unimaginable joys on earth, certainty, not faith, while in life! And upon death, peace unutterable, rest, and ecstasy, nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. I who am all pleasure, and purple and drunkenness of the innermost senses, desire you. Put on the wings, arouse the coiled splendor within you.
Come unto me, for I am the flame that burns in the heart of every man, and the core of every Star. Let it be your inmost divine self who art lost in the constant rapture of infinite joy. Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy and beauty. Remember that all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. So let there be beauty and strength, leaping laughter, force and fire by within you. And if thou sayest, 'I have journeyed unto thee, and it availed me not,' rather shalt thou say, 'I called upon thee, and I waited patiently, and Lo, thou wast with me from the beginning,' for they that ever desired me shall ever attain me, even to the end of all desire.
This much of the rites must ever be performed to prepare for any initiation, whether of one degree or of all three. I am about to give you a warning. If you are still of the same mind, answer it with these words: 'Perfect Love and Perfect Trust. For I tell thee verily, it were better to rush on my weapon and perish miserably than to make the attempt with fear in thy heart. Once inside, he releases her saying, "This is the way all are first brought into the circle.
Magus guides Postulant to south of altar, and whispers, "Now there is the Ordeal. With the Cable Tow in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, the Magus leads her sunwise around the circle to the east, where he salutes with the sword and proclaims, "Take heed, O Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, name , properly prepared, will be made a Priestess and a Witch. Next, clasping Postulant around the waist with his left arm, and holding the sword erect in his right hand, he makes her circumambulate three times around the circle with a half-running, half-dancing step.
He halts her at the south of the altar, and strikes eleven knells on the bell. He then kneels at her feet, saying, "In other religions the postulant kneels, as the Priests claim supreme power, but in the Art Magical, we are taught to be humble, so we kneel to welcome them and say: "Blessed be thy feet that have brought thee in these ways.
Take measure thus: height, around forehead, across the heart, and across the genitals. Magus says, "Be pleased to kneel," and helps her kneel before the altar. He ties the end of the Cable Tow to a ring in the altar, so that the postulant is bent sharply forward, with her head almost touching the floor. He also ties her feet together with the short cord. Magus strikes three knells on the bell and says, "Art ready to swear that thou wilt always be true to the Art? Magus says, "Ye have bravely passed the test.
Art always ready to help, protect, and defend thy Brothers and Sisters of the Art? All this I swear by my hopes of a future life, mindful that my measure has been taken, and may my weapons turn against me if I break this my solemn oath. Magus says, "I hereby sign thee with the triple sign. With this, as with the Athame, thou canst form all Magic Circles, dominate, subdue, and punish all rebellious Spirits and Demons, and even persuade the Angels and Geniuses.
With this in your hand you are the ruler of the Circle. This is the true Witch's weapon and has all the powers of the Magic Sword [kiss]. Its use is to form all instruments used in the Art. It can only be properly used within a Magic Circle [Kiss]. Its use is to call up and control certain Angels and geniuses, to whom it would not be mete to use the Magic Sword [Kiss]. These are for the purpose of calling up appropriate Spirits [Kiss].
This is used to encourage and welcome Good Spirits and to banish Evil Spirits. This is a sign of power and domination. It is also to cause suffering and purification, for it is written, to learn you must suffer and be purified.
Art willing to suffer to learn? They are of use to bind the sigils in the Art, the material basis, and to enforce thy will. Also they are necessary in the oath. Hail and farewell. Magus: "To attain this sublime degree, it is necessary to suffer and be purified. Art ready to suffer to Learn? This I swear by my hopes of Salvation, my past lives, and my hopes of future ones to come, and I devote myself to utter destruction if I break this my solemn oath.
Magus: "I hereby will all my power into you. Magus now unties her feet, unties the Cable Tow from the altar, and helps the Witch to her feet. Magus: "I hereby sign and consecrate you with the great Magic Sign. Remember how it is formed and you will always recognize it. Magus: "Learn, in Witchcraft, thou must ever return triple. As I scourged thee, so thou must scourge me, but triple.
So where you received 3, return 9; where you received 7, return 21; where you received 9, return 27; where you received 21, return Magus: "Thou hast obeyed the Law.
But mark well, when thou receivest good, so equally art bound to return good threefold. She circumambulates three times, and scourges Magus with three, seven, nine, and 21 strokes. She then unbinds him and helps him to his feet. Magus now binds the High Priestess and ties her down to the altar. He circumambulates, proclaiming to the four quarters, "Hear, ye mighty Ones, the twice consecrate and Holy name , High Priestess and Witch Queen, is properly prepared and will now proceed to erect the Sacred Altar.
Cakes and wine may now be taken [see "Cakes and Wine"]. Magus: "Now I must reveal to you a great Mystery. Note: if High Priestess has performed this rite before, omit these words.

Thus was the altar made and so placed [Priestess lies down in such a way that her vagina is approximately at the center of the circle], and the sacred place was the point within the center of the circle, as we of old times have been taught, that the point within the center is the origin of all things.
Therefore should we adore it. In beauty and strength were they erected, to the wonder and glory of all men. Thou art that and That am I [kiss].

Open wide, I pray thee, thy gates through which all must pass. Let our dear ones who have gone before, return this night to make merry with us. And when our time comes, as it must, O thou the comforter, the consoler, the giver of peace and rest, we will enter thy realms gladly and unafraid, for we know that when rested and refreshed among our dear ones, we shall be born again by thy grace and the grace of the Great Mother.

Candle game: Seated, the men form a circle, passing a lighted candle from hand to hand "deosil". The women form circle outside, trying to blow it out over their shoulders.
Whoever's hand it is in when it is blown out is 3 times purified by whoever blew it out, giving fivefold Kiss in return. This game may go on as long as the people like. Cakes and wine, and any other games you like. Much dependeth on the pronunciation if this be so.
This may be but the natural way to prolong it to make it fit for a call, but it suggests that these be possibly the initials of an invocation as Agla is said to be, and of sooth 'tis said that the whole Hebrew alphabet is said to be such, and for this reason is recited as a most powerful charm, but at least this is certain, these cries during the dances do have profound effect, as I myself have seen.
Greet people with joy, be glad to see them. If times be hard, think, "It might have been worse. I at least have known the joys of the Sabbath, and I will know them again. If you dwell on this inner joy, your health will be better. You must try to banish all fear, for it will really touch you. It may hurt your body, but your soul is beyond it all.
And if another be in pain, do what you may to distract his attention from it. Do not say "You have no pain," but if you may, administer the drugs which sooth as well as those that cure.
But ever strive to make them believe they are getting better. Install into them happy thoughts. If you can only get this into his inner mind so that it be always believed. For the truth is that if they believe we have more power than we really possess, we do really possess these powers, insomuch we can do good to them. If you tell a slightly sick man, "You are looking better. You will soon be well," he will feel better, but if he is really ill, or in pain, his Knowledge that he is in pain will cause him to doubt your words in future.
But if you give him one of the drugs and then say, "The pain is growing less. Soon it will be gone," because the pain goes, the next time you say, "The pain is going," he will believe you and the pain will really get less. But you must ever say so with conviction, and this conviction must come from your believing it yourself, because you yourself know that if you can fix his mind so that he believes you, it is true.
This continued gazing oft causes the patient to grow sleepy. If they show signs of this, say "You are growing sleepy. You will sleep, you are tired. Your eyes grow tired. You must ever believe what I tell you. When I look like this into your eyes you will sleep and be subject to my will," then tell them they will sleep and wake up refreshed, feeling better. Continue this with soothing and healing drugs, and try to infuse into them the feeling of ecstasy that you feel at the Sabbath.
I f you may safely tell that you are of the Cult, your task may be easier. And it were well to command them to know it only with their sleeping mind, and forget it, or to be at least unable to tell anyone about it when awake. A good way is to command them that, if they are ever questioned about Witchcraft or Witches, to immediately fall asleep.
Many priests have knowledge of our secrets, and they well know that, though much religious bigotry has calmed down, many people would wish to join our cult. And if the truth were known of its joys, the Churches would lose power, so if we take many recruits, we may loose the fires of persecution against us a gain.
So ever keep the secrets. Children are naturally easier to influence than grown people. Ever strive to work through people's existing beliefs. For instance, more than half of the world believe in amulets. An ordinary stone is not an amulet but if it hath a natural hole in it, it must be something unusual, so if the patient hath this belief give him one.
But first carry it next your skin for a few days, forcing your will into it, to cure pain, to feel s safe, or against their particular fear, and this amulet may keep imposing your will when you are absent. The masters of talismans knew this full well when they say they must be made in a circle, to avoid distraction, by someone whose mind is on the subject of the work. Remember the Words of the Goddess: "I give unimaginable joys on Earth, certainty, not faith, while in life, and upon death, peace unutterable, rest, and ecstasy, and the promise that you will return again.
We may have joy in life and beauty, and peace and Death and the promise of return. Perchance you were born under an evil star. I think that the effects of the stars are overestimated, but you cannot make a merry heart to order, you say.
But you can, in the Cult; there be secret processes by which your will and imagination may be influenced. This process also affects the body, and brings it to joy.
Your body is happy, so your mind is happy. You are well because you are happy, and you are happy because you are well. Many believe it can, but do not believe their God or saint will help. Prayers to the Goddess help, especially the Amalthean Horn Prayer, as it causes stimulation to the body as well as to the mind. Scourge 40 or more, to make skin tingle, then say, invoking Goddess, Hail, Aradia, from the Amalthean horn Pour forth thy store of Love.
I lowly bend Before Thee! I invoke thee at the end When other Gods are fallen and put to scorn. Thy foot is to my lips! Uploaded by Cromwan.
