11.1

Following are the Hebrew words of a summoning spell as mentioned in the Lesser Key of Solomon. (Note that the ritual has been adapted to fit in this book.)

*"Eheie, Kether, Haioth, Methratton, Reschith, Hagalgalim, Jehovah, Hadonat, Ophanim, Iophiel, Masloth. Jehovah, Elohim, Binah, Aralim, Sabbathai, Hesel, Hasmalim, Zelez, Elohim, Gebor, Seraphim, Camael, Madim, Eloha, Tetragrammaton, Raphael, Schemes, Jehovah, Sabaoth, Netzah, Elohim, Haniel, Elohim, Sabaoth, Hodben, Michael, Cockab, Sadai, Jesal Cherubim, Gabriel, Levanah." I feel the words lose impact upon translation, especially considering the huge variety of meanings and nuances they can have—moreover, Sybil would be using them as a psychomagic rather than an actual spell. Anyway, the English translation should be something like this "God Almighty, residing on the highest of skies, the great king of Heaven, of all powers within it and all holy spirits, Angels, and Archangels, heed the prayers of your servant who put all his faith into You. Let the guidance of your divine Angels assist me in this and all other times to come. God Almighty heed my prayers, command your divine angels beyond the fixed stars to assist and help your servant so that I could compel all spirits of air, fire, water, earth, and Hell, let me be of service, for your glory and the goodness of mankind. God Almighty heed my prayers, fortify us and support us now and ever, in these deeds I accomplish as an instrument in your hands, for you the great god of Sabaoth. You Great God, governor and creator of all planets and lord of Heaven command them with your almighty power to be present and assist us, humble servants, now and ever, You, who are the most powerful, eternal, ever-living Lord God, command your Seraphim to look after us and in this moment to assist and protect us from all dangers and perils. O God Almighty be present with us now and ever, let your almighty power and your presence guide us and protect us now and ever, let the divine angel Raphael visit us now and ever, and protect and assist us in our projects. God Almighty heed my prayers, great god of the Sabaoth, God who sees it all, God be present with us and let your presence be now and ever with us, let the divine angel Haniel come to us and assist us in this moment. God be present with us and let your presence be now and ever with us, oh great god of the Sabaoth be with us now and ever, let your almighty power defend and protect us now and ever, let your servant Michael come and rid us of all evil and dangers now and ever. You, great God of all wisdom and knowledge educate this poor and humble servant of yours through your holy Cherubim, through the angel Gabriel who is the author and messenger of all good things guide and support us now and ever,"

*"Adonai Tetragrammaton, Astaroth Soluzen, Halliza, Bellator, Bellonoy, Hallii Hra" meaning "Great God Almighty let your presence be with us now and ever. Astaroth, I compel you Spirit, in whatever place you reside, to appear in this circle and in human form and speak to us in an understandable fashion and in our mother tongue, and to show and deliver to us all treasures you know and protect, and to answer without fail to all question we will ask."

*"Anephezeton Primeumaton Michael" meaning "You, oh Great God of celestial spirits let your almighty power guide and protect us now and ever. You, who are the First and the Last, let all spirits be enslaved to us and the one spirit, who disturb this place, be bound to this triangle through the power of the divine angel Michael until we dismiss it."

*"Mykal Yhvh Alhym Tzbaut" meaning "Yahwe, God of the heavenly hosts."

*"The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" in Japanese "Tsuki ga kirei desu ne" has been used duringMeiji Era as a synonym for the (too forward) English expression "I love you".

*Scholar's Mate: Sometimes referred to as the "four-moves checkmate." In all its variations, the basic idea is the same—the queen and bishop combine in a simple mating attack in f7.
