Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentragram, aright, in thy forehead. Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth making the sign of Horus, and roar CAOC. Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor pa kraat.

Go round to the West and repeat; but say ERWC.

Go round to the South and repeat; but bellow YUCH.

Completing the circle widdershins, retire to the centre, and raise thy voice in the Paian, with these words IO PAN with the signs of N.O.X.

Extend the arms in the form of a Tau, and say low but clear: PRO MOU IUGGEC OPICW MOU TELETARCAI EPI DEXIA CUNOCEC EPARICTERA DAIMONEC FLEGEI GAR PERI MOU O ACTHR TWN PENTE KAI EN THI CTHLHI O ACTHR TWN EX ECTHKE.

Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.
