The Sacred MagickTHE THIRD BOOK OF THE sACRED MAGIC.
(The Prologue.)
E who shall have faithfully observed that which hath been taught unto
him, and shall have with a good will obeyed the Commandments of
God, let him, I say, be certain that this Veritable and Loyal Wisdom
shall be accorded unto him; and also that the Perfidious BELIAL can do no
otherwise than become his slave, together with all hisPestiferous Generation.
However I pray the True God who governeth, ruleth over, and maintaineth all that He hath created; that thou, O Lamech, my son, or whomsoever
he may be unto whom thou shalt have granted this Sacred Operation, mayest
work it out, having always before thee the Fear of God, and in no way use it for
Evil, because God the Eternal hath wished herein to leave us our free will, but
woeunto him who shall abuse His Divine Grace. Yet I say not but that if an
enemy should attempt thy life, that it is permissible unto thee if necessary to
destroy him; but in any other case lay not thine hand unto the sword, but use
gentler methods. Be kind and affable unto every one. One may also serve a
friend without harm unto oneself.
David and King Solomon could have destroyed their enemiesin an
instant, but they did not so; in imitation of God Himself who chastiseth not
unless He is outraged.
If thou shalt perfectly observe these rules, all the following Symbols and an
infinitude of others will be granted unto thee by thy Holy Guardian Angel;
thou thus living for the Honour and Glory of the True and only God, for thine
own good, and that of thy neighbour.
Let the Fear ofGod be ever before the eyes and the heart of him who shall
possess this Divine Wisdom and Sacred Magic.
