An excerpt from my upcoming manuscript and addition to the Coagula series
” There is an old ritual for producing a talisman for protection against a wide variety of ailments translated in the book “Chaldean Magic”. The lengthy passages are meant to be spoken over a black band (or white, if you are binding the cloth to your right hand) tied twice around the wrist.
When reading the passages, it becomes obvious that some of the workings of the ritual are outdated, protecting against things like slaves who try to escape their masters or women who have a will of their own.
I have re-written the rites, for their use and power it is unwise to throw the entire idea away, in a way that addresses the concerns of more just and upstanding individuals.

Spirit of the heavens, conjure!
Spirit of the earth, conjure!
This is now as I have made it!
As I have spoken, it is so!”
The black band spoken of in the passages is then tied to the person’s left wrist, and worn there as the protective talisman.
It is extremely important that you do not stop once you have started. The formation of the talisman must be completed once you have begun. The way this works is by calling up all of the things you would not want and then binding them from acting against you. If you stop before the binding at the end is complete, you have called up awful things to act freely in your presence.”
