The Lesser Key of Solomon (Goetia) 16
The Adoration at the Bath
AnonymousEnglish
“Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, O Lord! and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
And at the putting on of thy garments thou shalt say: THE ADORATION AT THE INDUING OF THE VESTMENTS.
“By the figurative mystery of these holy vestures (or of this holy vestment) I will clothe me with the armour of salvation in the strength of the Most High, ANCHOR; AMACOR; AMIDES; THEODINIAS; ANITOR; that my desired end may be effected through Thy strength, O ADONAI! unto Whom the praise and glory will for ever and ever belong! Amen!”
After thou hast so done, make prayers unto God according unto thy work, as Solomon hath commanded.
In many Codices it is written “a sceptre or sword, a mitre or cap.” By the “other garments” would be meant not only under-garments, but also mantles of different colours.
