CHAPTER TEN: SPIRITS OF THE DEAD
outside of the Triangle of Manifestation, the ritual dagger in
your right hand. Placing the point of the dagger to the vertex
closest the altar, visualize the dagger and the spot that it
touches glowing red. Trace the entire Triangle, leaving a
glowing red imprint as its astral double. State: "Triangle of
the Art, by the Powers of Darkness I seal you up as the platform

Gaze at each of these items as they are placed on the doublearmed
cross as if each one is a sigil, a physical representation
of the spirit of the dead.
4. When all of the items sit on the altar, looking at the lot of them
