You make the baton original: "baton [or Rod, staff]" of the Art from hazel wood that has never borne fruit. Cut it with a single stroke on the day and in the hour of Mercury Wednesday during a waxing moon. Then, engrave it with a needle, pen, or lancet with the following characters:
The seal and character of Frimost to be inscribed on the first Rod:
Then you make another baton of hazel wood which has never borne fruit and is without seed. Cut it on the day and hour of the Sun Sunday, and engrave these characters upon it:
The seal and character of Klippoth is to be inscribed on the second Rod.
Once this is finished, say the following prayer original: "Orison" over your baton:
Most wise, most powerful Adonay A Hebrew title for God, meaning "Lord", deign to bless, sanctify, and preserve this baton so that it may have the necessary power, O most holy Adonay, to whom be honor and glory for all time. Amen.
It is necessary to have a new lancet a small, sharp surgical knife, consecrated and prepared in the same manner as the ritual knife and sickle. Make it on the day and hour of Mercury during a waxing moon. Now follows the method for the ritual sacrifice of the kid a young goat.
Take your goat and place it on a flat surface so that the throat is facing upward to make it easier to cut. Take your knife and cut the throat with a single stroke while pronouncing the name of the Spirit you wish to invoke.
For example, you say:
"I kill you in the name and in the honor of [Name of Spirit]..."
This must be clearly understood: take care that you sever the throat on the first attempt. Do not take two strokes, but ensure that the animal dies at the first.
Then, skin the goat with the knife, and during the skinning, perform this invocation:
Adonay, Dalmay, Lauday, Tetragrammaton The four-letter Hebrew name of God, Anereton, and all you Holy Angels of God: come and be present here. Deign to fill this skin with power so that it may be correctly preserved, and so that all things written upon it may be brought to perfection.
