thy mouth with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then
dashing down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling
forcibly thy breath, cry 
[APO PANTOS
KAKODAIMONOS]. With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say
[SOI], thy member, and say 
[O PHALLE]*, thy right shoulder, and
say 
[ISCHUROS], thy
left shoulder, and say 
[EUCHARISTOS]; then clasp thine hands, locking the fingers, and cry
IAO. Advance to the East. Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in
thy forehead. Drawing the hands to the eyes, fling it forth, making
the sign of Horus and roar 
[THERION]. Retire thine hand in the sign of
Hoor-paar-Kraat.
Go round to the North and repeat; but say NUIT.
Go round to the West and repeat; but whisper BABALON.
Go round to the South and repeat; but bellow HADIT.

Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.
* The secret sense of these words is to be sought in the numeration thereof.
