The Nine Angles And The Septagon

The diagram refers to the Nine Angles in relation to the inverted septagon (other forms see "Secrets of the Nine Angles" MS in the Black Book of Satan III). The pathway to be walked in a rite involving the above form must be begun to end on the appropriate point of invokation. Thus, if an Earth Gate were to be opened the sequence would be begun on, followed by : : and so on, ending at . At the starting point, the following may be vibrated according to intent: 'Aperiatur terra, et germinet Atazoth' (for destructive/dark workings) or 'Ad Gaia qui laetificat juventutem meam' (for constructive/other workings). [The energies appropriate to the starting point are invoked at the conclusion of the sequence.]

The actual invokations at each point of the sigil comprise of Chants as given in Naos and the Black Book III, in conjunction with a crystal tetrahedron. If these cannot be performed, then vibration of the words of power appropriate o each sphere will suffice, together with visualisation of the relevant symbol (qv "The Alchemical Process" in Naos). Alternatively, the 'demonic' forms associated with the spheres may be invoked - ie : Noctulius : Satan, etc.

For a solo rite, the participant may wish to stagger the working over three consecutive nights, remaining in the Temple until dawn, following each sequence of three.

Star Gate (): Sunset, when Moon occults Dabih
Man's Gate (): Before dawn, when Jupiter and Saturn are both near to Moon which is becoming new
Dark Gate (): Sunset, when Moon is new, with Saturn rising
Earth Gate (): Full Moon, with Venus setting
