The versicle
“As I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of Elohim.”
Ezekiel 1:1
How it is made
- Engrave it in tin on a Thursday, in an hour of Jupiter. Made in the planet's metal, it needs no particular colour.
- Or draw it on virgin paper or parchment, exorcised first, in celestial blue, the colour of Jupiter.
- The material must be new and never used for anything else. Metal is first purified by fire.
- The size is up to you, as long as it is made by the rules. Burn the incense while you work, and be pure in body and mind.
