For the first time in my life I had something legitimate to blame all my troubles on—not the war, not my family, not my teachers, not my partner, or my wife, or the economy, or the government, or the church. Here at last was an object upon which I could spew all my frustration and fear. I had trapped the fiendish devil, the source of all my ills, in a cardboard triangle and it was going to listen to me. The monster was myself and my name was Orobas!

I ranted for what seemed forever before I came back to myself in the circle. I blinked and squinted through the tears and sweat and strained to see what was happening in the triangle. I didn't “see” anything, but something most definitely was happening. The feeling was unmistakable. I was no longer alone in the room. It was like waking up from an unsettling dream to discover that your dog is just inches away from your face staring at you.

I stood up and leaned forward for a better look. I was not prepared for this. I was only prepared for failure. The change of atmosphere in the room was unmistakable. I was paralyzed with wonder. I completely forgot the object of the operation. I knew without doubt the spirit was present in the triangle. I would soon have to deal with it. Second by second it became more tangible. I flushed with embarrassed confusion. It was really going to happen. I was about to meet a Goetic demon.

A large drop of sweat scurried from my scalp over my forehead and dripped into my right eye socket just below the bridge of my nose. It stung and made my eye water. I quickly wiped both my eyes with the fingers of my left hand. The powerful smell of cinnamon triggered a terrifying alarm. My hand and fingers were still covered with Oil of Abramelin! Like the biggest idiot in the world I had just rubbed sweat and concentrated cinnamon oil into both my eyes! A second later I was blinded by the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced. It was as though someone or something had jabbed red-hot pokers into my eyes. I tried to open one eye then the other but the air exacerbated the agony.

“My God!” I thought, “This is the equivalent of a magical industrial accident.” I spun around in the circle like a wounded animal. I couldn't leave the circle. It would break every rule of Solomonic magick. But what could be worse than this? I knew I had to get to the shower and rinse my eyes or I might never see again. With my eyes squeezed tightly shut I leveled my wand in the general vicinity of the triangle. “Stay!” I barked as if commanding a disobedient dog. “Stay there until I come back!”

As I stumbled blindly toward the bathroom door the most extraordinary thing occurred. I could see! I could see the whole scene as if I was perched somewhere in the ceiling.
