Holy water is *the* most foundational element in the Solomonic magician’s repertoire: without it, you can’t consecrate any of the ritual implements (or yourself) before or during a ritual. But how do you make it? Here is my own step-by-step method.

______________STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE______________

1.)     Gather water at sunrise on the day and hour of Mercury (Wednesday) or on the day and hour of Sol (Sunday) in a glass or clay vessel (ideally at dawn, as David Rankine recommends in his upcoming tome from Hadean Press, ‘Claves Intelligentiarum’). As you gather the water, recite this from a French manuscript of the Key of Solomon:

‘O God, who art the truth and the life, deign to sanctify this water, which I need to use in my workings.’

a.       Bring the water back and filter the water if needed

2.)    Prepare the water (first) and salt (second) using the A-B-C method from the Heptameron:

a.       (An Exorcism): “I exorcise thee, O thou creature of water/salt, by him by whom all things are made, that forthwith thou cast away every phantasm from thee, that it shall not be able to do any hurt in any thing.”

b.       (A Blessing): Bless, O Lord, this creature of water/salt, and sanctify it, that it may be blessed to set forth the praise of thy holy name, that no hurt may come to the Exorcisers or Spectators: through our Lord Jesus Christ, &c.

c.       A Commemoration of the water and/or salt, from the Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy. Use your own poetics, verses from the Bible and other inspired verse to honor the water/salt. 3.)    Recite blessing of the salt from the Key of Solomon:

TZABAOTH, MESSIACH, EMMANUEL, ELOHIM GIBOR, JEHOVAH. O God, who art the Truth and the Life, deign to bless and sanctify this creature of salt, to serve unto us for help, protection, and assistance in this art, experiment and operation, and may it be a succor unto us.

4.)    Add salt to water and mix it, while reciting Psalms 102, 54, 6, and 51 as listed in the Key of Solomon.

5.)    Recite a final blessing of both the salt and water once mixed, and store in a large glass vessel for later use as needed.
