Grimorium Verum (The True Grimoire)

Rare and Surprising Magical Secrets.

The method of making the Mirror of Solomon, useful for all forms of divination.

In the name of the Lord, Amen. You shall see in this mirror anything which you may desire. In the name of the Lord who is blessed, in the name of the Lord, Amen. First, you shall abstain from all sexual acts original: "actions of the flesh", and also from any sin, whether in word or action, during the period of time specified here. Second, you must perform acts of goodness and piety. Third, take a plate of the finest steel, polished and slightly curved, and with the blood of a white pigeon write these names at the four corners: JEHOVAH, ELOHIM original: "ELOYM", METATRON, ADONAI.

Place the steel in a clean, white cloth. Look for the new Moon during the first hour after the Sun has set. When you see it, go to a window, look devoutly toward Heaven, and say:

O Eternal, O King Eternal! Ineffable God! You, who have created all things for the love of men, and by a hidden decree for the wellbeing of man, deign to look on me, [Name], who am Your most unfit and unworthy Servant, and look upon this, which is my intention.

Deign to send Your Angel, Anael, unto me upon this same mirror; he commands and orders his companions—whom You have formed, O Most Powerful Lord, who has always been, who is, and who shall ever be—so that in Your name they may work and act with justice, giving me knowledge in everything that I shall seek to know from them.

Now you are to throw a perfume likely incense upon the burning embers. While you are doing this, say:

In this and with this, which I pour forth before Your face, O God, my God, You who are blessed, Three in One, and in the state of most sublime exaltation, who sits above the Cherubim and Seraphim, who will judge the earth by fire, hear me!

This is to be said three times. When you have done so, breathe three times upon the surface of the mirror, and say:

Come, Anael, come: and let it be your agreement to be with me willingly: in the name + of the Father, the Most Powerful, in the name + of the Son, Most Wise, in the name + of the Holy Spirit, the Most Living!

Come, Anael, in the terrifying name of Jehovah! Come, Anael, by the power of the ever-living Elohim! Come, by the right arm of the mighty Metatron!

Come to me, [Name], and order your subjects so that they may make known to me through their love, joy, and peace, the things that are hidden from my eyes.

When you have finished this, raise your eyes toward Heaven and say:

O most powerful Lord, who causes all things to move in accordance with Your will, listen to my prayer, and may my intentions be agreeable to You! O Lord, if it be Your will, deign to gaze upon this mirror and sanctify it, so that Your Servant Anael may come to it with his companions, and be favorable to me, [Name], Your poor and humble servant! O God, blessed and raised above all the spirits of Heaven, You who live and reign for all time. Amen.

When this is done, make the Sign of the Cross over yourself and also on the mirror on the first day, and continue this for the next forty-five days. At the end of this time, the angel Anael will
