Obtain a black mirror and a white cloth. Cense the mirror in purifying smoke and asperge
with blessed water. Ask God to purify the mirror with a sincere heart. Wrap the mirror in
the white cloth and keep it in a safe place free from any negative energy unti the specified
time of the working.
On the night of the New Moon during the 1st hour after sunset, go to a window, look up
with devotion to the Creator and say the following prayer:
"O Eternal! O King Eternal! God Ineffable! Thou who hast created all things for love of
me, and by a secret judgment for the health of Man do Thou deign to look upon me
[Name], Thy most unworthy servant, and upon my intention. Vouchsafe to send unto me
Thy Angel Anael, even upon THIS mirror, who doth order, command, and ordain his
companions and Thy subjects, whom Thou hast made! O Thou Almighty Lord, who hast
been, who art, and who shalt remain eternally, that in Thy Name may they judge and act
Cast upon burning coals any suitable incense, and while casting, recite the following
three times:
"In this, by this, and with this, which I pour out before Thy face, O God, my God, who art
blessed, Three and One, and in the most sublime exaltation, who sittest above the
Cherubim and above the Seraphim, who wilt judge the world by fire. Hear Thou me!
Make the Sign of the Cross over yourself and then upon the mirror. Every day for 45 days
repeat the Sign of the Cross on yourself and the mirror. On a daily basis, pray to the
Angel Anael and also pray to God with devotion and sincerity in your heart. Ask Anael
each day to use the mirror to reveal things hidden from your sight. Practice righteousness
and avoid any and all impurity during this 45 day period. Abstain from alcohol and other
intoxicants, abstain from sex and over-abundance of food. Sexual abstinence, refraining
from intoxicants, and fasting with prayers is common to almost all grimoires. This period
should be specially dedicated to physical and emotional purity and special devotion to the
Divine. Such ascetic practices has been known to induce altered stated of consciousness
and to prepare the magus for deep, spiritual work.
At the end of this 45 day period, you should begin to "feel" the presence of the angel in
the mirror. And, henceforth, whenever you wish to scry in the mirror, light a white candle
on each side of the device, and recite the following prayer:
"Come, Anael! Come according to thy good pleasure!" Pray from your heart for Anael to
come and reveal the things you seek knowledge of. Then, simply gaze into the mirror.
This is will now be the standard procedure each time that you wish to scry with the aid of
the Angel.
To dismiss the angel when you are done with each session, merely recite the following:
"I thank thee, Anael, because thou hast appeared and satisfied me. Do thou therefore
depart in peace and return when I shall call thee."
