 Repeat the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.

+**An alternative English version might take the following form:**
+Standing in the center, facing East, draw a deep breath. Close your mouth with your right forefinger pressed against the lower part of your nose. Then with a strong sweeping motion, push your hand downwards and outwards, exhaling forcefully and declaring "Away, every evil spirit!"
+Touch your forehead with the same finger, saying "To thee," touch your groin, saying "O Phallus," touch your right shoulder, saying "the Strong," touch your left shoulder, saying "the Immortal," then clasp your hands, interlocking your fingers, and say "IAO".
+Advance to the East. Visualise a Pentagram, upright, in your forehead. Drawing your hands to your eyes, project it forwards, making the sign of Horus and declaring "Chaos". Withdraw your hand in the sign of Silence.
+Move round to the North and repeat, but say "the Mind".
+Move round to the West and repeat, but whisper "Nature".
+Move round to the South and repeat, but shout "Will".
+Completing the circle anticlockwise, return to the center, and raise your voice in the paean, with the words "Io Pan", with the signs of NOX (Night).
+Extend your arms in the form of a cross and say, quietly but clearly:
+"Before me, the Children of the Night.
+Behind me, the Archangels.
+On my right hand, the Forces of Light.
+On my left hand, the Demonic Powers.
+Around me flame the pentagrams,
+And in the column stands the six-rayed star."
