Hey folks!

Here is a rough draft of the Geomancy consecration. It is designed
after the consecration for the Book of Spirits (Liber Spiritus)- so
the following can be used equally for that purpose:

---------------------------------
Solomonic Geomancy Box for General Divination

Construct a square box to contain fresh earth/sand. It should be
black with the Sigils of the seven Planetary Spirits and their
ruling Intelligences painted upon it in white. The sand should be
pure and white- preferably taken from a river bed- of about two
fingers' depth. Also prepare a small notebook with the necessary
prayers and conjurations, to be used and kept with the box.
(See "Secrets...", chapter 9, for consecration of pen, ink, paints
and paintbrushes.)

The box will be consecrated/enlivened according the procedure for
consecrating a Liber Spiritus (Book of Spirits), as found
in "Secrets..." chapter 12, p. 419-20. A Circle must be cast in the
midst of a crossroads. All seven spirits are conjured to bind
themselves to the box, and the box itself is wrapped and buried for
three days.

Needed:

Holy Water,
Standard or generic Incense, coals and Censor
Paints, brushes, pen/ink
White or beeswax taper and Holy Lamp
Seven 7-day Candles (Black, Blue, Red, Yellow/Gold, Green, Multi-
Color and Silver/White)
Burin
Black-Hilted Knife or Athame
Solomonic Sword

Note: Before consecrating any of the Tools, Water, Incense, etc,
use the minor Solomonic Bath outlined in "Secrets..."
chapter 7, p. 217-18.

Items that do not need consecration beforehand:

Shovel
Rake
Linen Cloth
Mat (for kneeling in the dirt)
Small notebook to record the Invocations and Conjurations
Cord- about nine feet long. (A Traditional Wiccan cord is great!)
Bible or Psalter

Prepare Invocatoins/Conjurations:

1 - In the little notebook, write a Prayer to the Highest. This
should be a prayer to God as creator and director of the Seven
Planets. (He before whom standeth the Seven Spirits of God. He in
whose hands the Sun is as a Sword, and the Moon a through-thrusting
Fire. Etc.)

2 - Following that, write seven dual-conjurations. The first part
of each should be an invocation to the Planetary Intelligence to
send forth the Spirit. The second part should be a conjuration of
the spirit in the name of the Intelligence.

3 - Then, a Liscense to Depart. (See "Secrets...", chapter 12,
p.380.)

4 - Keep this little book with or in the Geomancy Box at all times.

Selection of the Place: Must be an isolated dirt crossroads. It
will be necessary to erect a full Circle, burn incense and candles,
etc. So it must be very hidden and forgotten.

Magickal Timing: Calculate true midnight for the night of working,
and for the third night afterward. (See "Secrets..." chapter 5, p.
163.) Also draw up charts for these two nights, and try to make
sure that no planets are undignified or ill-aspected. The chosen
night must also be fair and clear.

Preparations: 12-hour Purification (see "Secrets..." chapter 7, p.
238)- starting about noon of the day of the work. Then, before
midnight and before going to the chosen place, take a full Solomonic
Ritual Bath (see "Secrets..." chapter 7, p. 233-35).

Erecting the Circle:

1 - Just before the hour of true midnight, light the Lamp with its
Exorcism of Fire ("Secrets...", p. 206) and then the Incense with
its own Exorcism of Fire ("Secrets...", p. 196).

2 - As steps 3 and 4 are perfomed, have partner recite Psalms 2, 54,
113, 57, 47 and 68. Or else (if alone) perform steps 3 and 4, then
follow with the Psalms.

3 - Thrust the Black-Hilted Knife into the very center of the
crossroads. Tie one end of the Cord around the Knife, and the other
end around the Solomonic Sword. Using this like a giant compass,
inscribe a double circle into the ground with the Sword. Then use
the Knife or Sword to inscribe the names and crosses. Finally,
Cense and Sprinkle the entire Circle.

4 - Place the seven 7-day candles around the Circle and light them.

5 - Finally, from the very center of the Circle, recite the prayers
to consecrate- "When we enter herein..." etc. (See "Secrets..." p.
405-06.) Use the mat to kneel on the dirt.

The Operation:

The First Night:

1 - (Directly after "When we enter herein..." prayers.) Over the
Geomancy Box, recite the Prayer to the Highest. Cense and Sprinkle
the Box.

2 - In succession, recite all seven dual-conjurations - calling all
seven Intelligences and their Spirits. Repeat these twice, for a
total of *three* recitations each.

3 - Tell the convoked spirits to come to this place within the space
of three days to "assure and confirm their obedience."

4 - Liscense to Depart. (See "Secrets...", chapter 12, p.380.)

5 - Wrap the Box (with the little book) in the linen cloth. Then,
with the shovel, bury the book in the center of the Circle and
crossroads. Cover it so no one can tell anything has been buried
there.

6 - With the rake, destroy any trace of the Circle. Take the 7-day
candles with you.

Leave the area before sunrise.


The 3rd Night Afterward:

1 - Observe the same Preparations as above. (12 hours, plus full
Solomonic Bath.)

2 - Return to the same place at true midnight. Erect the Circle as
described above.

3 - Burn more perfumes while reciting a prayer of thanksgiving to
God.

4 - Dig up the Geomancy Box, but leave it wrapped in the linen!

5 - Liscense to Depart. (See "Secrets...", chapter 12, p.380.)

6 - With the rake, destroy any trace of the Circle. Take the 7-day
candles with you.

Leave the area before sunrise.


Afterward:

The seven 7-day candles can be taken home and burned away completely
as a sacrfice to the spirits. Keep the Box and its little notebook
wrapped and in a safe place until needed.


Using the Box:

Simply take out the Box and its little book. Light a 7-day candle
appropriate to the Planetary Spirit you wish to consult. Burn the
same incense as used to consecrate the Box itself. Recite the
Prayer to the Highest over the box. Then inscribe a Pentagram in
the sand, with the Sigil of the Spirit within it. Recite the
Invocation of the proper Intelligence, and follow with the
Conjuration of the Spirit. From there, ask the Spirit what you
will, and begin to squill as usual for Geomancy. (One can either
use even/odd to determine yes/no, or one can create three or sixteen
Geomantic Figures- depending on the depth of the quesiton.)
