(cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) R. Ambelain – La Kabbale Pratique, 1951. trans. Piers A. Vaughan (2003) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) V. – THE SHEMH(cid:1) AMPHORASH (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) The seventy-two pentacles described (cid:1)below have been taken by Lenain from various Magical manuscripts of the Arsenal L(cid:1)ibrary, from the Collection of the Comte de (cid:1) Boulainvilliers. In his work entitled “La Science Cabalistique”, Lenain gave only the text, (cid:1) which we have reproduced below. We extracted the Seals of the Seventy-Two Angels (cid:1) of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life from a magnificent manuscript of the 18th Century. The (cid:2)(cid:1) reader will find them below. Without them Le(cid:1) nain’s work is unusable. (cid:1) (cid:1) One should trace them in red on virgin parchment, surrounded by a double circle (cid:1) in black, within which one traces the corresponding verse from the Psalms, either in (cid:1) Latin or preferably in Hebrew, in red. One may copy it faithfully from a Hebrew Bible. (cid:1) The name of the Angel should be traced abo(cid:1)ve the seal, in “Malachim” characters. In order to consecrate them, one should utilize (cid:1)the following ritual: (cid:1) (cid:1) The Altar is decorated in the usual manner (red cloth), with luminaries lit; and (cid:1) then one places the parchment Pentacle on the lead Hexagram of the Altar Stone. It is (cid:1) copiously censed while the Grand Invocation(cid:1) of Solomon is recited, followed by: (cid:1) “Thus said Adonai1, The heaven is my(cid:1) throne, and the earth my footstool: where (cid:1) is the house that ye build unto me? And where is the place of my rest? For all those (cid:1) things hath mine hand made.” Thus said Adonai: “I was glad also, when they said unto (cid:1) me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Ou(cid:1)r feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city th(cid:1)at is compact together, Peace be within thy (cid:1) walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For except Adonai build the house, they labour (cid:1) in vain that build it; except Adonai keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (cid:1) (cid:1) “Father of Power and Greatness, Bein(cid:1)g of Beings, Almighty Sanctifier, who created all things from nothing, despise not T(cid:1) hy servant, but let it please Thee to purify, (cid:1) consecrate and sanctify this place dedicated to Thy service; command Thy angel (cid:1) <Name of Angel> to descend, reside and remain, for Thy Glory and Service. Amen.” (cid:1) (cid:1) One then asperges the Pentacle with (cid:1)lustral water, and then with salt, while reciting Psalms 98 and 102 (from the Vulgate(cid:1) ): “The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble…” and ”Bless the Lord, O my soul…(cid:1)”. Then one lays it under a lit lamp2, in the (cid:1) middle of the lead Hexagram and collects one’s thoughts for a significant period of time. (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) 1 All biblical translations will use the King James Vers(cid:1)ion of the Bible. All Psalm and verse numbers are (cid:1) therefore adjusted to this Bible. In many cases the verse quoted and the verse number do not match. In (cid:1) all cases the Latin given has been used to identify the correct verse. The ‘keen student’ might consider (cid:1) buying a Hebrew-English Bible to obtain the relevant verses in Hebrew. However, learning their correct (cid:1) pronunciation will be a major investment of time and effort. Using the Latin is a good compromise – PV. 2 Given the fact that one has then to observe its ‘beat(cid:1)ing’ this would be best accomplished by putting it (cid:1) before a light (candle) rather than pinning it beneath! - PV. (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) 1 (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:5)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:2)(cid:4)(cid:11)(cid:2)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:7)(cid:14)(cid:6)(cid:15)(cid:2)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:9)(cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:2)(cid:19)(cid:2)(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:6)(cid:2)(cid:22)(cid:23)(cid:4)(cid:8)(cid:6)(cid:14)(cid:9)(cid:7)(cid:2)(cid:24)(cid:9)(cid:25)(cid:14)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:26)(cid:2)(cid:19)(cid:2)(cid:27)(cid:27)(cid:27)(cid:28)(cid:23)(cid:13)(cid:7)(cid:14)(cid:6)(cid:15)(cid:29)(cid:30)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:9)(cid:7)(cid:18)(cid:28)(cid:7)(cid:4)(cid:30)(cid:2) R. Ambelain – La Kabbale Pratique, 1951. trans. Piers A. Vaughan (2003) If the Operation was successful, a marked coldness will spread through the room, and one will then notice a progressive animation in the Pentacle, which will give the impression of beating like a heart3. It is then that one will be able to conjure the Entity according to the following ritual. ANGELIC CONJURATION I conjure thee in the name of the Twenty-Four Elders, in the name of the Nine Choirs to which you belong, O <Name of Angel>!

Note, these ‘secondary’ angelic names are based on Egyptian astrological angelic forces attributed to the decans. The names used in this document appear to be a mixture between those listed by Hephaestion (Greek) and Firmicus (Roman) – PV. 6 The Latin in the book has not been checked – but it is clear that some errors have crept in. The reader is cautioned to check the original Latin – PV. 7 We will leave the question of national correspondences to Lenain!... 8 The quotation actually seems to be verse 19 – PV. 4 (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) R.
