Hello everyone, Sargas here. In one of the videos I suggested talking about magical tools. And this idea was strongly supported. Therefore, today I want to talk about one of the most important magical attributes. About the magic knife. They call him in different traditions differently. Why, even within the same magical tradition, there are often no clear rules. Athame, athame, athame. As a rule, the less magic a tradition has, the more complex and ornate terms it uses. My favorite term is magic knife. In my opinion, it is quite complex and mysterious. And I mainly use variations of athame or athame solely to diversify speech. Agree, if it is mentioned a hundred times in the text, you don’t want to repeat the same term every time. I think everyone was taught this in school. At Russian language lessons.

So. A magic knife is the first tool that I recommend a student to purchase. School of Practical Light Magic. Despite the fact that you can purchase a custom knife on my website. And the master will make it for you in almost any shape and from any materials, I do not force them on anyone. In magic, everything must be expedient. Including the acquisition magical tools. As a rule, a knife is selected once, for life. But this is not a reason to spend your entire salary on him. In any hunting store you will find many good and relatively inexpensive options. If you live in a large city, then in almost every shopping center there will be a small pavilion where they sell knives, air pistols, crossbows and other paraphernalia for adult children. I myself am a big fan of all this, but I hope none of my viewers seriously hopes to defend themselves on the street with an air pistol, crossbow, or knife. You need to know how to use the latter. But this is not what we’re talking about now; I won’t make holivars. Otherwise, self-defense gurus with a katana will come running.

So. I think everyone who wants to buy a magic knife has a question about what it should be like.

In fact, there are not many strict requirements. First, and most importantly, all knife materials must be natural. Plastic, polyethylene and polymers in general block the flow of energy. Therefore, the knife should have a standard wooden handle, without plastic inserts or artificial laces. In extreme cases, an all-metal knife will do. But this is not for everyone. They usually don't look very presentable. In my opinion. Bone, stone, horn, mammoth tusk. All this is allowed, but you must be clear about how you will use the knife. If, for example, you want to treat people with it, then bones and horns are unlikely to suit you. Since such a knife will carry a certain amount of necroenergy. Which in difficult situations can finish off your patient. Although, it is unlikely to affect ordinary magical work. If you use a stone, then you also need to choose wisely. But here the master must individually select the material to suit your energy. Since stones, of course, have a certain set of universal characteristics. But, say, two balls of turquoise may not suit the same person. Relatively speaking, one lay at the bottom of the river, the other near the cemetery. The example is exaggerated, but I think you understand.

Well, the most important thing. The knife must be new. If your grandfather left you his army paratrooper knife, with which he slaughtered a company of Krauts, then this is of course wonderful, this is a memory. But you shouldn’t use it as a magic one. In general, it is highly advisable to recharge any item that is charged as an amulet or magical instrument. Just so that different types of energy do not conflict. Of course, everything can be cleaned. But, as a rule, some nuances always arise. It's not worth the risk.

And, yes. The knife, like any magical instrument, is charged by the magician himself. Therefore, if you see an advertisement somewhere in a store, they say I sell magic knives. Charged, blessed, ready to use. Either this or a very self-confident specialist. Who believes that his magical tools, charged by him, are absolutely universal. And they will suit everyone. Or is he a scammer who simply sells souvenirs to people. Under the guise of magical instruments.

If we are talking about an amulet, then it should be charged for a specific person. No one can bless a thousand bracelets to attract money and send them to stores. You need a photo of a specific owner, you need to feel his energy, see how it works and how exactly you can help him magical influence.

If we are talking about a magical instrument, then the master can clean it, make it, and deliver it. But it must be charged by the end user. You don't use other people's tarot decks. You don’t then give your magic knife into the wrong hands. I hope...

Separately, I want to say about those who like to get confused and do everything with their own hands.

I have nothing against making my own magical tools. Why not sew a magical outfit. If you are a seamstress? Or not sharpen a magic knife. If you are a sixth-class mechanic. But if you are a middle manager. And you think that for the sake of interest it is quite possible to master a new profession. This is probably not so bad. But, alas, such cutting and sewing circles, as a rule, replace true magic. And a person does not complement normal, full-fledged magical practices with handicrafts. And gradually he forgets about real magic, doing some nonsense. If you don't live in the forest. And, spending even two or three hours on a trip to the nearest store. Or rather ten minutes to order a product on the Internet. You can purchase any magical attribute. And then charge it yourself. Or buy one already charged. Then any attempts to do something on your own are, to say the least, impractical. Alas, experience shows that almost everyone who tried to forge knives, sew robes, glue magic books on their own. They burned out very quickly. And, not seeing the forest for the trees, they quickly said goodbye to magic. The only exceptions are those who are already doing this - a seamstress, a mechanic, a carpenter, and so on. And then, due to the specifics, this may be impractical.

So. Let's go over the main criteria for choosing a magic knife

1. Preferably double-edged. Not necessary. But it is desirable.
2. Not foldable. Energy must flow through it freely, at all times. That is, there should not be any moving mechanisms in it. Or at least it should always be unfolded.
3. Strictly from natural materials. In this case, the sheath can be anything. But in the first month, it is advisable for the noya to be saturated with your energy, so you should not hide it in plastic.
4. Extra patterns are very undesirable. The inscription was made in Russia, the name of the company, or some neutral design is not so critical. But there definitely shouldn’t be any runes, stars, prentagrams or magic symbols. Pure blade, pure karma.
5. The handle material is preferably dark. Because it absorbs energy well. In some rituals, two knives are used, or a knife with a white handle, but these are special cases.
6. And of course, you have to like him. It is most important.

Thank you for attention. Sargas was with you. Subscribe to my channel, visit my website, contact me for magical help, join the school of practical light Magic, buy my books, amulets and artifacts in the magic shop. See you.

Perhaps the article will be changed and supplemented.

1. I am writing this article based solely on own experience. Therefore, I will be glad to see any comments, additions and advice.
2. Here we consider the option of purchasing a ready-made knife, rather than making it to order.
3. No flip phones.

QUESTION PRICE

Based on the existing “levels of security” of the population, there are three conventional price categories for knives.

Consumer goods - approximately from 0 to 3000 rubles.
The most unreliable base steel knives are sold in this category. They will quickly become dull, break easily, chip the blade, or simply dent the cutting edge when encountering a hard obstacle. It is difficult to sharpen such a knife, because the sharpener simply removes shavings from it, and the blade becomes toothed when sharpening.
There is plenty of this junk on the shelves of “tourist” and “military” stores, in stalls, at train stations, in passages.
The use of such a knife as a ritual one is undesirable, although in the absence of fish, as they say... There are no rules prohibiting its use in a ritual, as long as the requirement of “one straight line” is observed (see below).

A good knife can be purchased in the price range from 3,000 to 15,000 rubles.
Special attention I advise you to look for “mosaic” multilayer forging (“Damascus mosaic”) - I saw this only once in one copy at VDNKh. It cost about 9 thousand. Such knives are rare to find, but they are flexible and hold an edge perfectly. At the same time, they are sharpened to a razor sharpness.
The second thing worthy of attention is the “Japanese” (especially the “tanto” form, but this is my personal preference). In this price range, you can find mostly three-layer forgings from the Japanese, hardly anything more - real “Japanese” ones are very expensive.

Well and all sorts works of art – from 15,000 rubles and above.
Such knives rarely look pretentious. Most often, these are classic forms of batch forged blades, with handles made of expensive wood. At the most, maybe there will be an unobtrusive, unobtrusive emerald worth two thousand dollars as a counterbalance...

A FEW RULES FOR BUYING A RITUAL KNIFE

RULES OF PRINCIPLE:
— The knife must have at least one straight line from the tip to the middle part of the guard, not extending beyond the blade. This is the condition for the correct current flow.
— There should be no marks or drawings on the blade that you cannot remove if you wish.
— The blade should go into the handle at least 1/3. Otherwise, you will not be able to change the handle yourself, and the consecration of the knife requires this.

CONVENIENCE RULES:
- Never take knives with clever shapes. The simpler the shape, the more effective the knife. Do you know which knife has the most shocking effect just by its appearance? A simple scalpel. Seriously.
— The knife should not be too long. Pig houses are inconvenient.
— The knife blade should not be too narrow. This is unreliable and, again, inconvenient.
— The sharpening angle should not approach 40 degrees from the plane of symmetry. You cannot sharpen such a knife yourself unless you have professional skills.
— Do not take knives with stacked balsa wood handles. You hesitate to remove the handle. The rivets are much easier to knock down.
— The knife should not have an obvious rest for the fingers - this is one of the requirements for a “non-weapon”, but the shape of the handle should be such that when using the knife with a thrust, you do not leave your fingers on the ground. This can only be understood by holding a knife in your hands.

Rules for SAFE storage and carrying:
— The knife should not be a bladed weapon or a registered hunting knife (with a passport and number, purchased with a ticket).
— A knife in a store must be given a certificate that confirms that the knife is not a weapon. Usually in such a certificate it is written that the knife is a cutting knife. Do not go out on the street with a knife if you do not have a certificate.
— Look carefully at the certificate at the time of purchase.
— It MUST have an image of a knife.
— They may give you a photocopy of the certificate. In this case, ask for the store's seal and attach a receipt to it. A certificate without blue stamps is NOT VALID!
— Do not carry a knife in a bag without a sheath. Even if it is a cutting blade or even a table blade, which is not structurally designed to have a sheath, you cannot carry an open blade in the city. They'll get to the bottom of it one hundred percent. Wrap in a rag or newspaper if you don't have a sheath.

With a black handle is a tool that we use to draw magic circles and other marks with which many of the spells sent are associated.

Buy a steel knife with a black handle; the blade should be about 15-20 cm long. When the Moon is waxing, make a decoction of Martian herbs in distilled water. Pour a few drops of blood into this decoction.

Inscription on the knife

Make a cleansing of the knife with water from your goblet and incense mixed with some of the above mentioned herbs burned in your censer; then heat the knife blade over the coals of the Dutch oven until its temperature reaches maximum. To do this you must maintain a good temperature. When the blade is hot, immerse it in the decoction you have prepared, at the same time conjuring up in front of you the image of a knife blazing with energy after each immersion and chanting the following words:

"Steel blade - I conjure you

Curse everything I tell you

This is my word, so be it!”

This process of tempering or hardening as it is commonly called must be repeated three times. Having completed this, you should now magnetize the blade by rubbing it with lodestone or a bar magnet. Hold the knife in your left hand and the magnet by the edge in right hand and, starting from the blade to the handle, move the end of the magnet along the entire length of the blade, at all points. Continue this for a good five minutes, rubbing in the same direction each time, chanting the following words with each movement of the magnet:

"Steel blade, I conjure you to attract all things indicated by me

This is my word, so be it!”

Another Ritual Knife

Take a new knife, the blade of which has not seen the blood of a person or animal, and in the hour of Mercury, draw the following signs on the knife. After this, at the same hour you must consecrate the knife by placing it in the flame of fire so that it becomes cleansed.

Faynzeh dagger

Faynzeh, or Dagger, is used to kill victims and remove entrails. The blade should be made of copper, with three large serrations, and the handle should be made of human bone. The following symbols are applied to it with an iron tip:

Spell to consecrate a dagger:

"Ammalu Ate Elnan Slota Ningishzitaah Asatu Tcheatyohosn Avuasebo Ntsheg Lamashtu Krhe Al"ayn Rleeh"

The dagger is kept wrapped in a piece of cloth soaked in menstrual blood.

Bolin

Sickle (bolline); it must be forged in the day and hour of Jupiter from a bar of steel hitherto unused. Place it three times in the fire and extinguish it three times in mole blood mixed with the juice of the Pimpernel plant (anagallis arvensis, wildflower). This procedure is performed during the full moon. On the same day, but at the hour of Jupiter, attach the horn handle to the blade, cutting it with a new sword, three times tempered in fire in the manner described above. When the tools are ready, read:

“I conjure you, O image of this instrument, by the power of God the Almighty Father, with the help of Heaven and stars, with the help of Angels, elements, stones and herbs, and also with the help of blizzards, thunder and winds, to gain all the power to accomplish those things in which we are interested, without deceit, untruth or cunning, by the order of God, Creator of eternity and Emperor of Angels. Amen"

Then seven penitential psalms should be recited over the instruments:

“Domine, Deus meus, in te speraui; Confitebor tibi, Domino, in toto corde meo: Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquaru, etc., at the end add the words: DAMAHII, LUMECH, GADAL, PANCIA, VELOAS, MEOROD, LAMIDOCH, BALDACH, ANERETHON, MITATRON, most pure angels, be guardians of this instrument, because I will use it for necessary and important actions."

Wrap the instrument in new red silk, fumigating it with fragrant vapors or sprinkling it with fragrant water. Take care to complete the creation of the instrument on the day and hour of Venus.

Then, on the day of Venus, when the Moon is in Capricorn or Virgo (if such a conjunction is possible), you should make a knife and dip it in the blood of the mole and the juice of the pimpernel plant. At this moment the Moon should shine most brightly; the action begins in the first hour of Venus and ends in the ninth hour of the same day. Attach to the knife a handle made of a piece of light wood, cut off with one blow of a new sword or knife, and the following characters are engraved on this handle:

With this knife, fumigated with incense, all the actions necessary for Magical Practice are performed, with the exception of drawing a circle. But if it is difficult to make such a knife, then give the same shape to a ready-made blade; immerse it in blood and juice, as stated above; attach to it a light wood handle with signs printed on it; on the blade, from the tip to the handle, write the words with a quill (from the male) pen: Ahararat, to. Sprinkle the knife with purified water and wrap it in silk.

A knife with a black handle is designed to draw a circle with it and scare away spirits, as well as to perform other similar actions. On the day and hour of Saturn, when the Moon is in Capricorn or in Virgo (if such a conjunction is possible), you should make a knife and immerse it in the blood of a mole and the juice of a hemlock plant, the handle should be made of a sheep's horn. Incense, cleanse blessed water and wrap it in silk.

The dagger (stiletto) and lancet must be made in the same way on the day and hour of Mercury - from steel quenched in the blood of a mole and the juice of the grass of Mercury. The handles of these instruments are made in the day and hour of Mercury; they are cut out with a new sword from the horn and the following marks are applied:

Fumigate these tools as before and store them in the proper place.

“I conjure you, the image of this instrument, N, by God the Father Almighty; with the help of Heaven and all the stars that rule; with the help of the four elements, all stones, all plants and all animals, whatever they may be; with the help of showers and winds; to gain now such strength that with your help we can achieve the fulfillment of all our desires, which we strive to fulfill without malice and without deception, in the name of the Lord, Creator of the Sun and Angels. Amen".

TOOLS OF BLACK MAGIC
From a Grimoire called True Black Magic
Sign I - a knife with a white handle.

1. Knife with white handle
2. Knife with black handle
3. Arctrave or hook
4. Bouline or sickle
5. Stylet
6. Lancet
7. Master Sword

Preparing the cutter

Since it is impossible to do without a chisel in the manufacture of some instruments necessary for magical operations, it must be prepared first and in the following way: on Tuesday or Friday you need to order or buy a steel chisel on which to carve or force someone to carve (in your presence and subject to the rules of time and others, which also applies to the preparation of all instruments where the help of an outsider is allowed (Approx. Transl.) on the days and hours of the same planets (Mars or Venus) (Fig. 6).

Then make a axle handle, the drawing of which is shown above, after which you need to wash it and fumigate it with juniper, and then say the following prayer:

“Father, eternal God, bless this instrument made in honor of You; may it serve for Your glory for all that is good and saving. Amen".

“Asophiel, Asophiel, Asophiel, Pentagrammaton, Athanatos, Eye, Eye, Eye, Kellon, Kelloi, Kelli.”

After smoking it, hide it for future use.

Preparing the Dagger

Since it is impossible to do without a dagger during operations, you will prepare it for yourself from the best steel with the same handle, which you will wash as you did with the sword and dry it, stick the end into a stand made of buxus, and then say the prayer: “Agla. He. Pentagrammaton...", as for a sword. Then you need to engrave it yourself or have the following words and signatures cut out.

When this image is made, you will fumigate it with incense and say the following prayer:

“Hel, ya, ya, ya, Adonay, Cados, Cados, Aborel, Elhoim, Agla, Agiel, Asel, Sadon, Esul, Eloha, Elhoim, Yehy, Del, Agios, Agios, Agios, Barael, Barael, Barael.”

Lord, Almighty God! who created everything out of nothing, not despising His servant (Name), who turns to You with a humble prayer that You bless, cleanse and sanctify this dagger, so that it becomes worthy to perform operations. Command also Your holy angels to be present at this matter. O Lord Almighty! Remember my father, to whom You gave the knowledge of all things. Make this dagger cleansed by the power of his teachings and be pleasing to You in Your holy name Tetragrammaton.”

“Domine Deus omnipotens, qui cuncta creasti ex nihilo, ne despicias servum tuum (N), qui te suppliciter orat, ut tibi placeat hoc instrumentum benedicere, purificare et sanctificare, ut sit dignum et essicacy ad meas operationes complendas et jube sanctis Angelis tuis et assistere fui meae operatione. O Domine omnipotens! reminiscere patris meis, qui retribuisti omnium rerum cognitionem, fac est per virtutem illius preceptorum purum creadat hoc instrumentum, ut sit tibi gratum, per tuum nomen, quod est sanctum Tetragrammaton.”

Then you will cut out or allow the following image to be cut out at a certain hour: (Figure 4);

Having cut it, you need to fumigate it with incense, saying the same prayer: “Hel, ya, yah...”, then wrap it in a piece of red taffeta and completely new until the time it is needed.

Making a ritual penknife

Under the influence of Mars, you need to buy a new penknife with several blades and a white handle. One blade should be large and serve to cut grass and twigs in famous days; one or two smaller ones - for sharpening pencils, cutting parchment, leather and paper; thus, one knife will replace several tools indicated in the rituals. The material of the handle does not matter, as long as it is new.

Having washed and dried it well, place it on a table covered with a white tablecloth, sprinkle it, smoke it and say the following prayer with great attention:

Agiel, Asiel, Sadon, Paliel, Alma, Mammiel, Dilaton, Kaday, Catilua, Wanzoral, Zaiphi, Carsali, Faffua, Hictimi, On, Agla., Agios, Agios, Hamamon, Yoth, Luphat, Miel, Ciel, Miel, Ciel , Miel, Deus Moyses, Deus, Israel.

“God of Moses! God of Israel! Great God! Do not forget your servant (name) and bless the instrument prepared in honor of Your power, which You revealed to my father and, through all the angels. You revealed to him the names and Your almighty name Tetragrammaton.”

After this, you engrave yourself or have the letters and names of saints engraved on one side, and a seal on the other (Fig. 5).

Then, after fumigating and blessing, you will say the above prayer. After which you need to wrap it in a silk flap of various colors and hide it until use.

You have no rights to post comments

This review was written many years ago and published in the library of the Temple of the Ancients project. Now the library on the site has been liquidated, and so has the original source of the article. Of course, the “articles” section on that site was more suitable for this material, but the abundance of illustrations made posting it as a downloadable file more convenient. Due to the fact that the text contains important images of knives and symbols that are needed during the course of the story, at one time it was not moved to my page on proza.ru with my other journalistic works due to the limited capabilities of working with images on that site , sharpened for bare text. Therefore, I post “Ritual knives in the magic of the Tradition of the Ancients” here on my blog.

Ritual knives are an integral part of ceremonial and ritual magic. This also applies to the tradition of the Ancients, which is predominantly ritual and priestly in nature, requiring various ceremonies. This is where ritual knives are needed, needed for various purposes: for killing victims, for outlining ritual drawings, etc.

In this article we will look at four options for ritual knives, the manufacturing methods of which are taken from well-known works on the magic of the Ancients: the Grimorium of the Imperium, Wilson's Necronomicon, the Book of Dagon, as well as from the secrets of the Worm.

So, Barzai's scimitar:

Various versions of Liber Logaeth (Wilson's Necronomicon) give different symbols, which must be applied to the scimitar. Some versions say that they were not in the original manuscript. I chose these symbols as the most successful and similar to the writings of the Ancients (having reached certain heights in practice, a knowledgeable priest can develop his own and adapt them to himself). This blade is used to outline various summoning circles and other ritual images. They also use it to erase traces of emblems, challenge seals, and so on from the ground.

I think this scimitar is perfect for other purposes - for example, for sacrifices. Actually, it is universal: it is used for any magical work; its production does not require any rare materials or extreme efforts. The only disadvantage of this scimitar is the loss of its power when touched by someone else's hands. So hide it well from prying eyes and raking hands. The following is a quote-instruction from Liber Logaeth:

“On the day and hour of Mars, when the Moon is waxing, make a scimitar of bronze with an ebonite handle. The following marks should be engraved on one side of the blade:

And on the other side are these:

On the day and hour of Saturn, during the waning Moon, light a fire from laurel and yew branches and, plunging the blade into the flame, pronounce the following spell five times:
HKORIAHODJU, ZODKARNES, I powerfully call you and command you to arise, O mighty spirits dwelling in the Great Abyss.
In the name of the terrible and powerful AZATHOTH, appear and empower this blade, created in accordance with ancient Knowledge.
In the name of KHENTHONO-ROKHMATRU, I command you, O ASIABELIS, in the name of YSEHIROROSETHA, I call upon you, O ANTIQUELIS, in the name of the Huge and Terrible DAMAMIAH, which is pronounced Krom-yha and shakes the mountains, I command you to appear, O BARBUELIS, listen to me! help me! grant power to my spell, so that this weapon, on which the runes of fire are carved, may acquire the power to strike terror into the hearts of all spirits who do not obey my orders, and help me to draw all kinds of Circles, figures and mystical signs necessary in the rituals of the Magical Art. In the Name of the Great and Powerful YOG-SOTHOTHA and the invulnerable sign Vur (perform the sign)
Give me strength!
Give me strength!
Give me strength!
When the flames turn blue, consider this a sure sign that the spirits have submitted to your demands. Then you must immerse the blade in the pre-prepared mixture sea ​​water and rooster bile.
Sprinkle the aroma of Zkaub into the fire as a sacrifice to the spirits summoned in that battle, and then release them with these words:
In the Name of AZATHOTH and YOG-SOTHOTH and Their servant NYARLATHOTEP, and by the power of this sign (make the Elder Sign), I release you; Go in peace and do not return until I myself call you. (Seal the entrances with the sign of Qof.)

Wrap the scimitar in a piece of black silk and put it aside until you need it; but remember that no one but you should touch this scimitar, otherwise its power will be lost forever.”

Now let's look at the sorcerer's dagger from the Book of Dagon. This option is very good. After all, the sacrificial knife described in this book does not require any complex manipulations or hard-to-find materials. Actually, any new knife that requires a sheath will be suitable as a blank (if there is no sheath, you need to make it yourself). Preferably with a cedar handle (You can remove the old handle and replace it with a cedar one). Then you need to put the appropriate symbols on the handle of the knife, as well as on the sheath. These symbols, numbering three, are called tetals. Two symbols will go to the handle of the knife, one to the sheath. I quote:
“The Tetal of the middle of the left pillar releases and calls upon the forces of Mars. Ninurta the Warrior. It should be inscribed on the skin of the unborn lamb, on the scabbard of a warlock's sacrificial dagger, on the north side of the altar, and on the north wall of the sanctuary.
Spell formula:
SUTTARAAH KRIASBASH AHEMESH BESABAHOT LEB AZLAYN YAAV ETUSH KNERREBDAOS EZCURTAAHIRRAVAON ARAO STILTAAN NENEBRASH
Tetal at the foot of the left pillar releases and calls upon the forces of Saturn - Eya. It should be inscribed on the skin of a harlot, on the cap of a warlock, on the handle of a sacrificial knife.
Spell formula:
KENEB ESAYA TAARITEROSH TSEFER MNLEB ASHTAG VNAECH" AN VAAIKER VALNESHTOTSAM VOLECH TEAMBABU ARSAG NA ASTUHARISH ESCER
Tetal at the foot of the right pillar releases and calls upon the forces of Jupiter-Annuki. It should be inscribed on the skin of a killed warrior, on the handle of a sacrificial knife, on the floor of the sanctuary.
Spell formula:
ATANNU TEBEL NOAPZU VERVI SIR BARASTAN KELIAB EZCATU NFARAYN ASPAZECAF ETERRU GHENALAYN EGER ASSU VATSEBISH LILASH”
Actually, the tags on the handle:

Tetal on scabbard:

Another option - ritual knife from the Grimorium Imperium manuscript, allegedly owned by John Dee. The sorcerer's dagger from this manuscript is not particularly difficult to manufacture, with the exception of one point - strict adherence to the order of manufacture of magical tools. That is, it will not be possible to pull it out of the general scheme; you need to make either all the tools and clothing, or nothing. For detailed information, I advise you to refer to the manuscript itself. Actually, I quote the process of making only a knife (don’t forget about making all the items):
“Having cut out the stick, the next day take a new knife, the blade of which has not known the blood of a person or animal, and in the hour of Mercury draw the following signs on the knife*. After this, at the same hour you must sanctify the knife by placing it in the flame of fire so that it is cleansed.”

*Know this: the triangular sign at the end of the knife is the essence of the Gesture described above, made with the fingers.

And the last, most exotic type of well-known ritual knife is the magic knife from the book “Secrets of the Worm”, called Faynzeh. It is exotic in that it requires specific materials for manufacturing (a handle made of human bone), and must also have an unusual blade with three serrations. There may be alternative materials other than bones, but this must be tested privately by practicing priests. Here is the manufacturing method and the symbols that need to be applied to the knife:

“The Faynzeh, or Dagger, is used to kill victims and remove the entrails. The blade should be made of copper, with three large serrations, and the handle should be made of human bone. The following symbols are applied to it with an iron tip:

Formula for consecrating a dagger: Ammalu Ate Elnan Slota Ningishzitaah Asatu Tcheatyohosn Avuasebo Ntsheg Lamashtu Krhe Al’ayn Rleeh
The dagger is kept wrapped in a piece of cloth soaked in menstrual blood.”

Perhaps these symbols are unfinished. Therefore, I advise beginning practitioners to limit themselves to the first three options. From my purely subjective point of view, the second and third options for ritual knives are the most attractive in their advantages. Also, the Barzai scimitar is a very good option, however, doubts arise about the veracity of the symbols that need to be applied to the blade. Also with Faynzeh, the symbols of which (possibly) have inaccuracies, and the reverse side is also questionable: is it necessary to draw one side, or are the symbols on the second side not indicated for some reason.

Children
