A Powerfull Prayer For Personal Life and Even Companies

Sometimes I comment about St. Francis.

I see him as a great Shaman.
More than learning to talk with plants and animals, he was a master of the Elementals of Nature.

He became my St. patron when I received from His hands the initiation over the four elements in the 90s.

One night I was awakened to go to the meditation room and there were all that spirits and he was the one who presented Himself to guide the ceremony.
He was not a beggar as churches present. He was a very rich guy and able to deal with all the natural powers.

Just remember, before choosing the simple life, like the Gautama Buddha, St. Francis came from one of the richest families of the town and had all pleasures in life before. I say, all the pleasures. And he was a warrior for some time too, fights in battles, fun, sex, all that. He had everything before find he already had all the needed. 


I was already deep in meditation and shamanic practices.

So all previous workings joined and I learned to work with the Peace Prayer.

In practice, this prayer is very recent and was just inspired by His work. 




 
Some Uses To This Prayer:

I found it to be used as a kind of personal Alchemy practice. 

A simple idea for Alchemy is to change your dark aspects into gold. Spiritual gold. Or just what is bad into something better.

My first suggestion is to study each phrase, and observe how it is related to the many life's areas. 
It's not to repeat it. I strongly suggest you get all the meanings each verse has. 


You can use it daily, or even as a mantra to change your mood and opens up to the natural powers around you. 

This will change your point of view about what's happening in your life and to understand better other's points of view. And you will learn to feed on Nature.


How to use it:

The best is to be alone, but if not possible, keep quiet as possible.
But do the prayer using your voice.
Forgot telepathy. You must use your voice at any prayer as possible.  (or learn to shout in your mind).
Even if you are in public, even so, you can use a clear as possible low voice.

This is something a lot of people and magicians didn't get: spirits (angels, demons, saints, etc) do not divine what's inside your head. Yes, forget any dreams experiences you had. Here you are the one putting energy into your intent. So, use your voice, even at low volume.

The best way for any prayer is when you do it with a sound. No scandals need for sure. Even if you have to talk with a low voice do it.




Working for a more formal ritual:

Like any other spirit, bring a candle and talk with your voice "I"m offering this to St. Francis".
Put a cup of clean water aside.
You can use standard size to seven days size candles with the cup of water aside.
Then do your prayer. Repeat it three to seven times as you feel.
As I told, this is like a personal Alchemy, so I wish maybe you get a different mood just while you are reciting the prayer. As most works, this is natural, so let's it happens and enjoy that time.
Prayer is a communion time, so have your time.
With time, such practices become a time to be silent. This is just meditation. Let it happens!
Then follow your daily activities.

After a time, at minimum, one day, throw the water in a natural place, better it is like the grass of wood area on the need for water. Just feed the nature! St. Francis fed the nature ones, remember this, so your ritual must help those ones too.


Doing offerings:

You can do offering to St Francis too. But never before an asking except for the cup of water you give and return to nature after.

Your need must be on His area of work, to improve life, feed the needed, change darkness into light.


A good offering to St. Francis, in my opinion, is always giving a sincere thanks and doing hidden charity!
When you feel you got your life changed the way you needed, no matter the size of the results (as this always have taught), you can do an offering to His work in this way:

Fist be sure He is not the one to receive it. He needs nothing. St. Francis works to the humble ones and nature. He works with others. So your offering is to the ones He cares. 
Do an anonymous offering to the humble ones or the natural ones.
Do it as you can, and be sure nobody knows you are the one behind that. Charity always must be done anonymously. 


There are two main ways for that. To do by yourself or pay for what you are unable to do. 
I don't know how to sew, so I buy ready for clothes. And as I'm getting older, plus all I don't know how to do, some works I'm really unable to do, so I pay someone to do it. Then I choose people and pay well as these ones deserve and feel happy as they got a job. 
Remember, some people, even skilled and humble, maybe under difficult times. So please, do the right thing. As an example, (sorry, I don't like to cite, but work here), someone asked a shameless cheap value for a work I was sure to cost three times more. So by myself, I paid three times more and refused the original price. One of many. 


Please read this: to all people and anyone at magic/spiritual areas: Spiritual results it's not what you get. It's HOW you get it. The spiritual area is never, but never for opportunists!

Stick this: To be respectful of the spirits and the same way to get respect from them is the main aspect to get.

 
To people at the leadership at companies, this is something that will even save your business. Valuate who works for you!
At any of such events, that has to be like a sincere thanks. 

If you want to know about offerings, learn to evaluate what you receive and how people and spirits work. 

This is the idea, Uhm? 


So for some offerings for St. Francis.:

First, working: have a real care of your garden, help to clean up your local park, a riverside, make your place a better and nice place to anyone's life. 

Second, pay for what you can't do. Some people can't do the work due to a lot of reasons. So they use their money, and this means they had a serious effort to gain that money. 
Starting with very simple examples, like make water supply with bows to street dogs, help feed poor families, water the nature plants at a public garden or even do a needed cleanup at such places, help someone who deserve to pay the college, give some wheelchairs (and be sure nobody knows who are you), etc. 
Just make nature and other's lives beautiful without expecting a return! 

This is why for companies, public works when they promote it, really add nothing at the spiritual levels, as that is just self-promotion while their owner's life keeps bad. 
Charity always has to be in an anonymous way. Dot.  
The moment you promote such acts, even with photos of your "charity", that became the opposite. For sure, not Karma, just you are showing to be an opportunist.



For Personal Work:

The prayer is good to have strength in difficult times. To get inspiration about how to use your current resources to improve your situation. For family harmony. To have more clarity about your own life and to understand yourself more. For support and spiritual strengthening in cases of illness. To improve your mood. For cases of anxiety.

For Personal Work in Nature: 

Use the prayer to get in touch with the forces of nature and become more aware of the beauties of life.

For protection at nature. Please, do not try to hug bears! LOL...

Well, I had a strong spiritual experience in the mountains with a Puma so closer of my head to feed on me. But that was the only one in life experience. Do not try this! Such events happen was a fantastic spiritual gift.



As you recite the prayer to prepare and while you are into it, this is ideal for those who love nature and practice outdoor activities, such as trails in the woods (trekking), mountaineering, climbing, canoeing, exploration of natural areas, caves, etc.  
This prayer will attract into you the Nature Powers. Be sure. 
Regardless of your faith, this prayer works to change your soul and become like an invitation for the spirits and forces of nature to present themselves in all their wonders. 
For sure I can't guarantee you will see fairies, but with time, you will be in the mood. I'm glad for dragonflies, butterflies, and birds coming so close. And some wonderful events even in shining mountains.

For photographers who want to learn how to capture an instant of time. That is, to learn to perceive life in all its aspects and get the beauty of it. This means, to be able to get the beauty in life. For any artistic activity that deals with life. Painting, sculpture, music, dance, etc.

Note for Dark artists and some famous photographers of the sadness: In my point of view, you are not collecting life, you after the dark, sad aspects. You do money with sickness. That is not life. This prayer is one of the many ways to change what you do and get Light the day you wish to change. Won't say names as they don't deserve it. 


For the Work in Companies - Business:

The prayer is also for all who are in a position of command and leadership. Owners, directors, managers, etc. This will harmonize your relationship with people and especially the environment as you work on it. You will even become a better boss as you bring light into yourself. With constant repetition, this will strengthen your spirit. 

Forget about to suggest this to someone at your business! 
This prayer is ideal to be recited alone, before going to business meetings. And if you drink 3 cups of clean water together, this also adds the aspects of the water elements, about intuition and Light needed to improve meetings and get the needed insights and better results. 

I already cited somewhere about the changes at a business meeting just by drinking 3 cups of water before a business meeting.  Don't be worried about the need to piss. Everyone knows the good part of a business meeting needs only 15 minutes.

For employees, it helps to have a better understanding of their role, to have better relationships with colleagues, and to neutralize negative perception in difficult environments. 

ATTENTION FOR COMPANIES: This is not like those methods some companies use a pay someone to talk about what you want. I'm not here to talk about what you want! This practice has to be totally voluntary, it can never be imposed by the company. That is, do it for yourself and only in positive cases, it can happen that someone became curious to know more, so in this case, only you can comment that you are using this prayer (or spiritual practice). But no miracles! OK? 
This is teaching through examples. Be yourself a good example and over time, the very good energies of nature will work.



For Magicians, Sorcerers, Witches and Shamans Work

St. Francis as a Shaman, became one of those spirits with a powerful Egregore to work with. 
Forget the church aspects of the poor. 
Call Him and you will find a lot more. 
Nature and people have needs. To be poor is not the same as having nothing, BUT that means to live with what one has.

St Francis works great as the previous examples, but He is also a great source to learning, guidance and helps when you have to deal to get Harmony and Healing in the previously cited areas. 

It is very interesting the way he will work to bring such results too. 
So you can evoke Him for help in the needed areas. Not like St. Expedite, but for human evolution as the main aspect.

The Origin of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis from: The Origin of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis by Dr. Christian Renoux, Associate Professor of the University of Orleans, France.


Original Text of the Peace Prayer of St. Francis: (French)

Seigneur, faites de moi un instrument de votre paix.
Là où il y a de la haine, que je mette l'amour.
Là où il y a l'offense, que je mette le pardon.
Là où il y a la discorde, que je mette l'union.
Là où il y a l'erreur, que je mette la vérité.
Là où il y a le doute, que je mette la foi.
Là où il y a le désespoir, que je mette l'espérance.
Là où il y a les ténèbres, que je mette votre lumière.
Là où il y a la tristesse, que je mette la joie.
Ô Maître, que je ne cherche pas tant à être consolé qu'à consoler,

à être compris qu'à comprendre,

à être aimé qu'à aimer,

car c'est en donnant qu'on reçoit,

c'est en s'oubliant qu'on trouve,

c'est en pardonnant qu'on est pardonné,

c'est en mourant qu'on ressuscite à l'éternelle vie.

The popular English version: 

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life.

And this "Oratio Sancti Francisci" from www.preces-latinae.org


Latin: 

Domine, fac me servum pacis tuae,
ubi odium, amorem seram;
ubi iniuria, veniam;
ubi dubium, fidem;
ubi desperatio, spem;
ubi caligo, lucem;
ubi tristitia, laetitiam.
O Domine coelestis, concede mihi ut ne tam petam
consolari quam consolare,
intellegi quam intelligere,
amari quam amare.
Nam in dando recipimus,
in ignoscendo ignoscimur,
et in moriendo ad vitam aeternam nascimur. Amen.

Goetia Triangle of Art And The Time To Do The Work

Goetia Triangle of Art And The Time To Do The Work



For a long time I wanted to do a new Triangle of Art for my work and I decided to make the new triangle using the names in Hebrew.

So to start I had to deal with something that happens sometimes during magickal practice: to get the needed material.


Getting materials for magickal practice

To work on magick, witchcraft, whatever, you may need some material one and another time. This includes candles, incense, herbs, and tools.
And for ceremonial magick this often means the need to work a lot more.
It's not something easy or cheap because of the work and training needed.
Need long years of studying, practicing, learning how to make many things and dealing with a lot of special materials and tools.
And most of the time, no shortcuts, sorry. Except for some materials, like gold and some other materials, we can use the correspondence tables and sometimes, the needed tool can be done even on virgin paper. But please, never take this so easy.
You have to be sincere in your intent. If you really need to use something simple to make your tools, be sure to do the best you can. And be sure to explain to the spirits you will be working about why you needed to work that way. Decent true spirits will understand your reasons and when asked, will point you in the direction of improving your working tools.

And here is a gold tip: Master Asterion presented a very nice way to make Gold Lamens, and it is very suitable for many tools


But if you got some spirit who even tries to make you fuck your life because "they want" something that will cost even your health, my suggestion is to dismiss and even banish the spirit. Such ones are like vampires and most probably just want to be fed without any valid return.

Glad we have with time, centuries of work, some new methods, and new materials, as magicians around the world have practiced, made experiments, researched to discover it, and gotten solid results. For example, we know there is no need for sacrifices of blood most of the time. I learned this in the 90s using fruits as sacrifice and later extended it. And still, due to the ATR line I was, I had thousands of animal sacrifices in my hands I'm sure 99,99% were not needed. And many ATR lines today do not use blood, except for special cases.
About using magickal herbs to this use Aaron Leitch writes very well at "Blood Substitute – ‘Solomonic Herbal Holy Water’".

Another aspect of the tools of the Art is some of that is very desirable you have to do it by your own hands.
Studying the grimoires, and most other magick areas, you will find all-time instructions about doing yourself the knives, swords, sticks, and woodwork, seeding and growing your herbs, making your ritual clothes, painting your seals, and even how to prepare special inks, making oils, etc.

Ok, if you have the resources, for sure is very important when you have a reliable source of magick jewelry tools for example. I would love to have some of that. We have some talented magicians working to make fantastic tools and jewelry and they are observing all the planetary and material aspects and even consecrate it for you.  For sure not cheap. But if you can, this saves a lot of time and you will have a piece of art. It's OK.

So do what you can the best way you can.

Remember, the Great Work is the result of your work. You are the one who needs to work.
If you worked to be able to pay someone for something special, OK.
But never, I repeat, never do that with a mind of "doing it for cheap".
If you do not value the effort, be sure the results will be related.

What you do is part of the Work. So it must have a meaning to you.


So to get the materials to make tools


To me, this means sometimes researching walking a lot, and working a lot to find what I need.
I will comment later, on some reasons why this may happen sometimes.

In this specific case for a new triangle, it took some years.

I want to also comment on some materials I had difficulty getting.
In some ways such things came together with "additional results" (or curious or funny or as teachings) in some areas of my life, like knowing interesting people or having results far from what I was expecting or "by coincidence", that time was happening a topic to learn a lot from others magicians dealing at some work in the same area that time.  Remember the old tale: "When you are ready the teaching comes".


Even living in a big city area, some materials can be very hard to find. Many people have the same problems because some ingredients do not exist in your region or country.
I just remember how many times people asked where to find black candles, something very common in my country. But at the same time, all those oils people in the USA find easy, we have not. Same for herbs, roots, and many other materials.


Also just for some reason, you won’t find anybody who wants to sell that. I say people and companies who have what you need and they just refuse to sell due to the most stupid reasons. What? That happens!


I went to many places and it was interesting how just nobody wanted to sell a piece of wood cut in the way I wanted. To say better, nobody wanted to sell even a complete board no matter the price and I stated I was not worried about the price!

Strange?
Yes, very strange.

Some weeks ago, I found this piece of wood, and this is one part of my life story for sure.
I just went again into a hardware store near my house, they also sell wood, but not the kind I needed. For some reason, that day the store owner commented about a neighbor, just in front of their store. An old man who makes furniture. Hey! He has no signs in front of the house, nothing. But I already had heard about him some two years before, people from my city talk very much about his work, but I never found out where he was!
And that was an interesting meeting. The guy had an entire board unused for a long time as he made a wrong buy a long time before, and someways he had nothing to use.
So he was very gentle, despite all the work, and took nearly one entire hour preparing and cutting the wood. He didn't know the maths for the triangle, and I was shown a practical method. He loved it. So he made his work and the price he asked after all was so ridiculous to make me shy. And we had a nice time talking about travel and nature places and some other topics. A blessing to me.
And about some events having more results, the hardware store had a garden bench like I was after too for many time! Now I have a garden bench too! Yeeeeaaaaahhh!

So I get it!

Going after materials, when I needed brute bee wax to make seals it took months too. And I live in a region with a lot of honey farms, producer groups, etc. Nobody had wax at that time! Walking, searching, calling by phone. Ok, all that added energy to the seals I did, and the additional result was a very interesting topic in a forum sharing common experiences.


For my circle to the Goetia work, I had to walk for some three months just to get the cotton fabric I needed. I worked developing specific software to manage the production area of clothes companies for almost two decades, so I guess I had a good idea of where to buy fabric and knew all major stores and no place had white/brute cotton to sell.
And to add another "extra" result, this time I worked differently. The saleswoman was gentle, nice, sweet, and intelligent and I had some minutes of sweet talk. 

Checking the new triangle size to fit space in my room.
This is a 7-foot size circle so I can use the triangle in all directions.

All this lets me comment about four points about the effort to get the material and ingredients you need.
For sure do not think getting proper material is always easy. Some have specific characteristics, not the kind you will find easily at any store.

• First, many times this is just part of your work. Since the starting point, often the spirits are already near and may do your work just to add power to your intent. In some religious areas like the ATR lines I knew, this was even a kind of test to you.
• Second, there are materials really hard to find. So keep calm. There are ingredients, like herbs and oils you won’t find in your region or country. So the alternative is to study the correspondences, find alternatives, or even make your own recipe.
• Third, may be possible is just not time to work on that. For some reason, nothing works. This happens even at working practices. For example, I had prepared seals, oils, etc. for entire rituals, and due to some reason, I had some other activity to pay attention and all that material went forgotten in a cabinet for years.
• Fourth, and this is important to think, maybe just is not the right time and despite what you do, it won’t succeed that way. About this think about your guardians.

So is always good to remember: do a reading to get information about what is happening and why.


For sure you must have a very decent degree at least one oracle. For example, the Tarot. This is one of the very basic steps you need before trying such works.

Another you must know and be strong on it is cleaning and banishing.
Guess how many times I tried to contact someone to get material and the result was a really bad eye or just contacting some very bad place full of that bad energies...
And for sure, never attempt such operations on magick without all the previous needed experience. This is not a matter of gift of birth. This helps a bit, but you need the practice.



I often comment as being a practitioner I used to work with what I could, the best way I could.
And there are things I can’t have, even being desirable, but I put my efforts into getting better materials and tools.
This is my life and what I do, so I put all my daily effort into that. Each one may know what level to do.


I have working with the Goetia for some years, and started the most humble way with big paper-made triangles, in a house where I had just a really small place to work. Just open your arms and you have an idea.

When I moved to a bigger house, I was able to use a bigger circle and started to draw the triangle in a two-foot-sized black stone with consecrated chalk. And it has worked too.


As with almost anything I have done in these years, each time I add a new tool, make corrections and improvements in the ritual texts and invocations or just improve the place, I observe in many ways, that the rituals become stronger and more impressive. So keep walking!


Yes, the spirits are there watching what you do, and they are working too somehow.
This is part of something very important: to be always respectful of the spirits.
In the same way, the true spirits will see you are doing your part, and this adds to the respect they have for you.

You can not buy respect. Remember this if you buy ready tools or try to get shortcuts, as I commented before.
Do it with the most sincere desire and true effort.
You can only get respect as a result of sincere work.

You may see this work even as part of an offering you are doing to work with them.


Just to compare, think for a moment, if you have a date, a romantic dinner with your loved one, what do you do? Have a bath, wear nice clothes and prepare the food and place for a good time! Well, if you are not doing this, may be interesting to think how is your love life… You have to do your part! LOL…



The Triangle and Names


About the position of the names in the triangle.

The most know schema is like the following from the Lemegeton edited by Joseph H. Peterson, a great reference source:

Magical circle and triangle, from Sloane 3648.
Source: Lemegeton - Clavicula Salomonis - J.Peterson - Esotericarchives

Just to point out something you will find in most ancient texts: the names are outside the triangle, as comments.

I can only think the original authors put the names there to remember the magician what position means. OR NOT.

But this become standard and almost everyone has used triangles with the names inscribed/painted on the borders.

I chose to keep that too just because is one more thing I like to see inscribed as a remember of the reasons why the names are there and what they mean.

But this affects the triangle size and the inside circle.

About the sizes:

The size of the grimoires is 3 feet (near 90cm).

I observed many modern magicians do a triangle this size, with a larger border with the names inside. I kept this idea but observed this reduced the circle size. Some are lesser others are bigger.

At the grimoires, you will see the circle usually uses all space available inside the triangle.

Look again at the previous example and you will observe the circle use almost the entire available area inside the triangle.


But when I finally got the wood piece I wanted for years, I was so happy I forgot this. And also because for years I have seen all triangle types, at all sizes.


So my personal note for future work: my idea is to get a triangle a bit larger, to do an entire working area of three feet, plus a margin to the names.


So I went into the painting work and the margins really disliked me.

This is something I took some time to think about after my first painting. I really disliked it. I really felt first uncomfortable for some reason so I put the triangle in my room and looked for it for some days. I watched it over my desk for an entire week.

Then I realized for obvious reasons the circle was too small for the triangle size and the border too large.

So I painted it all again and reduced the border to 8cm (nearly 3,15 inches), but still a size to use large characters for the names, and I painted the circle again for a bigger size.

Just to explain, or repeat something I comment often: I'm not good at arts and crafts, and I do have no steady hands in such works, so I have to respect my personal limits.
So I kept a large border because I won’t be able to paint decent characters in a lesser space.


Now some steps I had

After initially painting and doing it again, I made paper stencils with the Hebrew names.
I had to redraw the names using Inkscape software and print them at the needed size.

The stencils helped a lot, as my hands are not so good at painting.

Because of the black background, I have to paint first white and then use red paint.

But the paper I used as mold got wet with the paint and it glued that over the board!
So, here is another note: remove the stencil just after paint, do not wait to dry!

The paint was absorbed by the paper and that glued... what a mess!

Trying to clean up all the glued paper.

So, the obvious result was: that I had to paint it all again!

OK, keep working!


If I have a spirit as a guest to my ritual, is easy to think I want to offer a better space. When you are making your tools, this is something important, maybe you can’t be perfect, but work to do the best you can.


About the names


Thanks to the work of many scholars and other practitioners, I searched and revised the material from many sources. There is a list of sources at the end of this article for more information and complete research texts from other authors.

I repeat: I'm not a scholar, just a practitioner, but be sure I have to read the books, take notes, research the material and external sources, etc. In my case often I go further as I can even to some originals just to see how it was centuries ago before chose the way to do it as there are many different ideas sometimes.
Only then I will have an idea about what and how to work.



This is the Greek names, the Hebrew ones, and their text:

Tetragrammaton - IHVH

Thou God of Almighty power, be ever present with us to guard and protect us, and let Thy Holy Spirit and presence be now and always with us;

Primeumaton - Elohim

Thou Who art the First and Last, let all spirits be subject unto us, and let the Spirit be bound in this Triangle that disturbs this place;

Anephezaton (or Anaphaxeton) - Tzabaoth

Thou great God of all the Heavenly Host;




Michael
By Thy Holy Angel Michael, until I shall discharge him.






These are also the words to talk about when you consecrate the triangle. It's something with really little material.
For more information about consecrating Solomonic ritual tools, I strongly suggest Aaron Leitch's book Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires for reference. If you have not this book yet, be sure it has become a real classic and a "must-have" for grimoires practice and will save you a lot of time.

Now observe the name’s position in the triangle:

The Greek names, like Latin, are read left to right, so the words are clockwise direction. Same for Michael.

So, with Greek names, we have: 

• Tetragrammaton at right side;
• Anephezaton (or Anaphaxeton) on the left side;
• Primeumaton at base;
• Michael is written starting at the left side.

But Hebrew is read right to left. So the names are counter-clockwise. Same for Michael.

So for Hebrew names, we have:

• Tetragrammaton IHVH at right side;
• Primeumaton Elohim at left side;
• Anephezaton (or Anaphaxeton) Tzabaoth at base;
• Michael is written starting at the right side.

This is the way I changed the position of the names in the triangle.

Many authors have similar opinions, but for sure, some may vary a bit about what name use.

Nick Farrel had chosen Adonai instead of IHVH due to pronunciation too, but here is something I had my own opinion on as I have used IHVH in Hebrew since the 80s at many works, so became a habit.


And so, all efforts had a result:

The ready triangle over the garden bench I got.

And this is the result after some years.

With some trembling lines in my hands, I painted the entire triangle four to five times again, had to remake all the characters, and did some experiments too.
Total time: 49 days from getting the wood and starting on the same day working until I found it was ready to consecrate and use it. Plus all previous time researching it and collecting information. Just to compare, the circle needed some six to eight months of total time.
I found funny newbies who start from zero level and try something for a few days and weeks and do not understand why they have no results!



But I still had some funny parts during the first ritual using the new triangle.
Yes, I commented before each work sometimes has additional results. This time was a funny part.

For the first ritual with this new triangle, I chose to do a formal invocation for a spirit I have worked with, King Paimon, explaining at the start I was doing a complete rite to consecrate the new triangle.
And he knows a lot about everything. So my intent was to make this event also a kind of offering to his knowledge and asking to learn more too etc.
Well, as he has been called before, he is already exorcized, just to remember, once you get more contact (to say so) you can call the spirit near direct. But as a King, he likes that formal part too, so I continued. I observed Presidents also like that formal procedures.
So I consecrated again my tools, the triangle, and did prayers thanksgiving for the material I got and the work being ready, and did the invocation.
Well, he was near since my first prayer presenting himself as usual with sounds and a strong presence feeling.
But all the time I was feeling something behind me, but I just didn't look behind.
And guess what?
I pointed to the triangle and asked to him appear and stay "inside the triangle".
And he told in my mind something like:
-Uhm, OK, but which of the two triangles do you want me to choose?
Only then did I look behind me and realize the old triangle I had used drawn in the black stone still was there on the other side of the room leaning on the wall. And it was consecrated and ready to use!
And the nearest candle had burned near to the base, ready to burn the circle!

Know that moment you get the spirit told you: "Hey stupid, you forgot to release the old triangle!".... LOL...
Well, the Kings have humor too!

So. now let's continue the work.

Humble Version of the Triangle for Sale: 

I made a more simple available in printed format at Scarf (fabric) and Wall Art versions, but fully working ones, just consecrate it.
There are two versions:

• Triangle with the Greek names.
• Triangle with the Hebrew names.
