In order to make a consecrated Wand, procure unto thyself a piece of birdseye maple wood the length of 14 inches. The same should be shaved and polished down until it is about five-eighths of an inch in diameter, the same being nearly or perfectly round.

Next procure unto thyself four waxen candles, and on the night of Wednesday at the hour of ten, set these candles upon a table, two at each end of this piece of maple wood. Light them and let them burn until they are entirely or about burned out. The piece of.maple wood the while lying on the table between them.

Next procure unto thyself one-half ounce of pure oil of the olive, pour the same unto a small woolen cloth and varnish and rub the oil into this piece of maple wood, rubbing and polishing the same until it is entirely smooth. This Wand should be placed under thy pillow for five successive nights.

Next procure unto thyself a piece of purple cloth, preferably velvet, and when not using this Wand keep the same rolled therein and do not allow strange hands to handle it, neither should thee expose or reveal it to unworthy or unscrupulous persons; but the same should be revealed only to faithful, discreet and chosen friends. All of thy operations and knowledge of Occult things should be kept from prating companions whose misbelief and unworthi-ness hinders and disturbs the effects and result of every Magical operation for it is the desire of Astral Spirits that ye seek not the companionship of him who is unworthy of thy trust and faith, and I do here admonish and caution thee to be discreet and secret and neither manifest nor teach to any person thy work, or place, or time, nor desire, or will, except it be to a Master or Companion, who must likewise be Silent, Faithful, Discreet, and dignified by nature and education.
