7.  Face East and hold your Sword, horizontally, in your left hand by the handle.  Always remember to             move and pivot clockwise within your “temple” unless told otherwise.  As you vibrate each                           magickal Word, Title, or Name, trace with the Index Finger of your Right hand, when instructed, the             Sigil of the name, above the tool.  All of the Sigils are Red.  Say:

       "O Mighty Power who governeth MADIM, Thou strong and terrible Divine

         (Vibrate only) ELOHIM GIBOR. I beseech Thee to bestow upon this Magic Sword Power 

         and Might to slay the evil and weakness I may encounter as I search for inner wisdom 

         within Thy hidden light. 

         May Thy Great Archangel KAMAEL 

         bestow upon me courage wherewith to use it aright 

         and may the Planetary Intelligence (vibrate and trace) GRAPHIEL 

         protect me from all harm and scorch with flames those who would oppose my Will in my                     search for the True Light."

8.  Holding the Sword in your Left hand, trace in the Air, slowly, above the Sword, and as if standing               upon it, a Red Mars Invoking Hexagram, with the Index Finger of your Right hand, while                             vibrating, "ARARITA."

9.  Point to the center of the Hexagram with your Index Finger.  In the center of the Hexagram, draw a               Red Planetary Mars Symbol .  While doing so, vibrate the God Name ELOHIM GIBOR.
