PRAYER TO SELĒNĒ (MOON)
“Lord and Master, dominant over the living and the dead, who furnished man with wisdom, piety, and conscience, so that he might gain mastery over your creatures, cooperate with me, your servant, so that I may be able to receive your grace, to subdue the planet Selēnē, and to accomplish the work I have set out to do. I adjure you, Selēnē, most beautiful purple of heaven and encouragement of the night. I adjure you by your course and by your renewal, by the unfathomable degrees of your progress, and by these names: Sabaēl, Boaēl, Ōnitzēr, Sparou, Sōrtērkha, Gabēd, Outoupōn, Kaipolēs, Gōmedēn, Marēbat. By these names I abjure you, Selēnē, that you will surrender your grace and your activity to me for this operation I aim to accomplish.”
Δέσποτα κύριε, ὁ δεσπόζων ζώντων τε καὶ νεκρῶν, ὁ ἐν σοφίᾳ κατασκευάσας τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἵνα δεσπόζῃ τῶν ὑπὸ σοῦ γενομένων κτισμάτων ἐν ὁσιότητι καὶ συνέσει, συνέργησόν μοι, ἵνα δυνηθῶ ὁ δοῦλός σου χάριν λαβεῖν καὶ ὑποτάξαι τὸν πλανήτην τὴν Σελήνην καὶ τελειῶσαι τὸ ἔργον, ὃ ἐπεχειρίσθην· ὁρκίζω σε Σελήνην, τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ὡραιοτάτη πορφύρα καὶ τῆς νυκτὸς παραμυθία. ὁρκίζω σε εἰς τὴν ὁδόν σου καὶ εἰς τὴν ἀνακαίνισίν σου καὶ εἰς ἀναμετρήτους βαθμούς, ἐν οἷς κατέρχει, καὶ εἰς τὰ ὀνόματα τοῦτα· Σαβαήλ, Βοαήλ, Ὠνιτζήρ, Σπαροῦ, Σωρτήρχα, Γαβήδ, Οὐτουπών, Καιπολής, Γωμεδήν, Μαρηβάτ. εἰς ταῦτα σε ὁρκίζω, Σελήνη, ἵνα μοι ὑποκλίνῃς τὴν χάριν σου καὶ τὴν ἐνέργειάν σου εἰς τὴν δουλείαν ταύτην, ἐν ᾗ ἐπιχειρίζομαι.
