The Triangle of Solomon: A Guide to Ceremonial Evocation

Purpose of the Triangle of Art

The Triangle of Solomon, also known as the Triangle of Art, is one of the most vital instruments in ceremonial evocation. It is used to summon and contain spirits, ensuring safety for the practitioner. This ancient magical structure creates a clear energetic channel for communication. In Solomonic and other ceremonial traditions, spirits are not called into the magician’s circle. Instead, they manifest within this sacred triangle. This design serves as both a protective measure and a metaphysical focusing device.

Overview of the Triangle's Functionality

The Triangle of Art is not merely symbolic. It functions as a charged containment field for spirits during evocation. Here are its primary functions:

• Acts as a boundary that prevents spiritual interference in 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 inscribing divine authority and structural sanctification.

  
  

When working with infernal, planetary, or necromantic entities—especially those associated with wealth, knowledge, or transformation—this triangle is crucial for psychic, energetic, and spiritual control.

Materials You Will Need

To create this triangle, you will need specific materials. The choice depends on whether you want a temporary or reusable version:

• White chalk – Ideal for temporary setups, especially outdoors or for one-time use.

• Black cloth and white acrylic or fabric paint – For a reusable cloth triangle.

• Compass or ruler – Necessary 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

To construct the triangle:

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

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

• You can draw a second, concentric triangle either just inside or outside the main triangle to enhance visual focus and containment.

• Position the triangle so one point faces directly outward from your circle (typically southwest).

  
  

Divine Names at Each Corner

Each corner of the triangle requires powerful divine or archangelic names:

• Top Point (furthest 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 commonly used in spirit command and summoning.

  
  

These names act as both barriers and callsigns. They anchor the triangle in celestial and divine authority, asserting command over the summoned entity.

Central Focus – Spirit Seal and Inscription

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

• Place the seal of Duke Bune inside this circle. You can draw it directly or use a separate parchment laid atop the space.

• Inscribe the phrase:

  "Spiritus Intra Hoc Vinculum Veritatem Dicet" (The spirit within this boundary shall speak truth) beneath or around the circle.

  
  

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

Triangle Placement in Ritual Space

Position the Triangle of Art approximately 3 feet outside your protective circle. Ideally, it should be located in the southwest quadrant, aligning with necromantic and Saturnian energies.

• Place candles 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 its side. This allows smoke to drift through the area, enhancing visibility and sensory engagement.

  
  

Timing and Astrological Considerations

For optimal results in your evocation, align it with specific occult timings:

Lunar Mansion

• 10th Lunar Mansion (Al Jabhah): This phase is favorable for wealth workings 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 these elements:

• A black mirror or scrying disk in the triangle’s center can facilitate visual manifestation.

• Use crystals like obsidian, black tourmaline, or hematite for psychic shielding.

• Incorporate sound vibration by ringing a bell or intoning a mantra before and after the evocation to seal the space.

• Utilize oils or incense: Anoint the triangle with ritual oil (like Abramelin or Myrrh), or burn incense suitable for 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 considers it a zone of energetic volatility.

• Always dismiss spirits respectfully and seal the triangle through breath, word, or by extinguishing a flame.

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

  
  

When employed correctly, the Triangle of Solomon transforms from a simple containment tool into a living spiritual interface. It enables precise, secure, and potent evocations.
