Preface

Known simply as the “Beltane Script” after its introduction in Beltane of 1988 to Coven Scathach. The script is a result of years of development, synthesis and research into the Western Occult tradition. Returning to the older prior placement of fire to the East representing Wands and the fire signs, water to the South representing cups and water signs, Air to the West representing Swords and Air signs, finally placing Earth to the North representing Pentacles and earth signs.

The script unifies the upper outer world to the lower inner world, truly microcosm to macrocosm. Connecting the magic circle to the Heavens.

Used originally as an alternate to the Alexandrian based script which was considered oath-bound. What was discovered afterward was that the Beltane script was simply magickal, powerful and incredibly versatile falling in line with already established Zodiac and the Tarot, but also the Kabbalistic systems that was slowly gaining popularity.

unclean, thou who art a hostile phantom, that thou quit this incense, that thou quit all thy deceits, that it may be consecrated and sanctified. O’ Lord, grant protection and virtue unto I, who use this incense and may any hostile and

malevolent spirit and phantom never be able to enter therein.” Placing incense upon the burning charcoal holding hands above the container, speak:

“O’ Lord deign to bless and to sanctify this sacred mixture so that it may be a remedy unto all who receive the scent of this odoriferous incense receiving health of body and of soul.”

Incense the circle and yourself; finally towards each of the Four Quarters of the Universe. The censer is returned to its proper spot, refreshing incense as needed. Then consecrate the container with water upon the pentacle disc; holding the black handled knife over the water as you speak: Water:
