Constructing the Triangle of Art: The Triangle of Solomon (also called Triangle of Art)

The Triangle of Solomon (also called Triangle of Art)

The Triangle of Solomon, also known as the Triangle of Art, is one of the most vital instruments in ceremonial evocation. Used to summon and contain spirits, this ancient magical structure ensures that the practitioner remains safe while establishing a clear energetic channel for communication. In Solomonic and other ceremonial traditions, spirits are never called into the magician’s circle. Instead, they are directed to manifest within this sacred triangle—designed as both a protective measure and a metaphysical focusing device.

Below, we explore in detail how to construct this triangle for ritual use.

Purpose of the Triangle of Art

The Triangle of Art is not merely symbolic—it functions as a charged containment field for spirits during evocation. It does the following:

• Acts as a boundary that prevents spiritual interference within the magician’s circle.

• Creates a manifestation zone where spirits can appear through various sensory channels such as smoke, sound, light, or mirror reflection.

• Serves as a focused interface between the physical and spiritual realms.

• Ensures the spirit’s truthful compliance by inscription of divine authority and structural sanctification.

When working with infernal, planetary, or necromantic entities—especially those aligned with wealth, knowledge, or transformation—this triangle forms a crucial point of psychic, energetic, and spiritual control.

Materials You Will Need

Depending on whether you intend to construct a temporary or reusable version, the materials can vary slightly:

• White chalk (for temporary setups, ideal for outdoor or one-time use)

• Black cloth and white acrylic or fabric paint (for a reusable cloth triangle)

• Compass or ruler (for precise geometric alignment)

• Parchment, canvas, or flat ritual space measuring about 3ft x 3ft

• Optional: Candles, incense, and ritual tools to anchor and activate the space

Triangle Dimensions and Geometry

• Draw an equilateral triangle, each side measuring 24 inches (2 feet).

• The triangle’s inner border should be about 1 inch thick, bold enough for visual prominence.

• A second, concentric triangle may be drawn just inside or outside the main triangle to enhance visual focus and depth of containment.

• The triangle’s orientation should place one point facing directly outward from your circle (typically southwest).

Divine Names at Each Corner

Each point of the triangle is inscribed with a powerful divine or archangelic name:

• Top Point (farthest from magician):Tetragrammaton – יהוה (YHVH), the sacred four-letter name of God.

• Bottom Left Corner:Michael – מיכאל, the archangel of protection and divine authority.

• Bottom Right Corner:Primeumaton – פרימיאמטון, a mysterious divine name often used in spirit command and summoning.

These names serve both as barriers and callsigns, anchoring the structure in celestial and divine authority while asserting command over the summoned entity.

Central Focus – Spirit Seal and Inscription

At the very center of the triangle, draw a circle approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter. This circle becomes the primary focal point for spiritual contact and manifestation.

• Inside this circle, place the seal of Duke Bune, either drawn directly or on a separate parchment laid atop the space.

• Beneath or around the circle, inscribe the phrase:

  "Spiritus Intra Hoc Vinculum Veritatem Dicet"(The spirit within this boundary shall speak truth)

This linguistic charm both affirms the triangle’s purpose and spiritually compels truth-telling within its bounds.

Triangle Placement in Ritual Space

• The Triangle of Art should be placed approximately 3 feet outside your protective circle.

• Ideally, it is located in the southwest quadrant, which aligns with necromantic and Saturnian energies.

• Candles may be placed at each of the triangle’s three corners to illuminate the space and energize the containment field.

• You may also position a small censer in front of the triangle or to the side, allowing smoke to drift through the space, enhancing visibility and sensory engagement.

Timing and Astrological Considerations

For best results, align your evocation with the following occult timing:

• Lunar Mansion:

  • 10th Lunar Mansion (Al Jabhah): Favorable for wealth workings, dominion, and invocation of spirits related to finance or status.

  • 13th Lunar Mansion (Al Awwa): Ideal for necromantic communication, summoning spirits of the dead, or engaging ancestral energies.

• Planetary Hour:

  • Hour of Saturn: Best for control, banishment, necromancy, and authority.

  • Hour of Mars: Excellent for commanding spirits and enforcing energetic dominance.

• Days:

  • Tuesday (ruled by Mars) or Saturday (ruled by Saturn)Conduct your ritual after sunset, during the planetary hour of your chosen day for enhanced potency.

Optional Enhancements

To amplify the triangle’s effectiveness, consider incorporating the following elements:

• Black Mirror or Scrying Disk in the triangle’s center to facilitate visual manifestation.

• Crystals such as obsidian, black tourmaline, or hematite for psychic shielding.

• Sound vibration, such as ringing a bell or intoning a mantra before and after the evocation to seal the space.

• Oils or incense: Anoint the triangle with ritual oil (such as Abramelin or Myrrh), or burn incense appropriate to the spirit (for Duke Bune, a blend of storax, cinnamon, and sandalwood works well).

Final Notes on Use and Safety

• Never step into the triangle once it is charged. It is considered a zone of energetic volatility.

• Dismiss spirits respectfully and seal the triangle using breath, word, or the extinguishing of flame.

• Cleansing the area post-ritual is essential. Use frankincense, sage, or hyssop to purify any residual energy.

When used properly, the Triangle of Solomon becomes more than a containment tool—it becomes a living spiritual interface through which precise, secure, and potent evocation is possible.
