The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram

Touching the forehead, say Ateh (Unto Thee).
Touching the breast, say Malkuth (The Kingdom).
Touching the right shoulder, say ve—Geburah (and the Power).
Touching the leftshoulder, say ve—Gedulah (and the Glory).
Clasping the hands upon the breast, say le-Olahm, Amen (to the Ages, Amen.)
Turning to the East, make a pentagram (that of Earth) with the proper weapon (usually the Wand). Say (i.e., vibrate) I H V H.
Turning to the South, the same, but say A D N I.
Turning to the West, the same, but say A H Ι Η.
Turning to the North, the same, but say A G L A.

Pronounce: Ye-ho-wau, Adónai, Eheieh, Agla.
Extending the arms in the form of a Cross, say:
Before me Raphael;
Behind me Gabriel;
On my right hand Michael;
On my left hand Auriel;
For about me flames the Pentagram,
And in the Column stands the six-rayed Star.
Repeat (i) to (v), the “Qabalistic Cross."
