Here is an experiment of love which makes use of a simple written talisman to be carried by the
person who wishes to be the object of desire. It is a spell which does not make use of the law of
transmission, however, but rather acts as a "booster" on the deep mind of the supplicant.
For a change, this process borrows from Christian symbolism rather than the other way round.
However, you do not have to be of Christian persuasion to make use of it. It has been in existence
long enough—nineteen centuries in fact— to gather round it a potency as a love spell quite
independent of its early ecclesiastical origin. The good use it has been put to down the years by
practitioners of the craft is ample evidence of that.
The name of this particular piece of Magic is the Sator Spell. The words of the charm itself probably
derive from the words Pater noser and "A. O." standing for Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters
of the Greek alphabet. Pater noster is the Latin for "our Father," the first words of the so-called Lord's
Prayer. "Alpha and Omega" is one of the many titles bestowed upon Jesus by the early Christians,
meaning the "first and the last," a reference to his attributed divinity. These words were sometimes
formed into an equal-armed cross, which symbol though pagan in origin, as has been already
mentioned, became a suitable stock on which to graft the newly arrived cult symbol, the Latin or cross
of crucifixion. This emblem was then used as a code sign among early converts.
However, prior to the formation of the Holy Roman Empire, the early Christians themselves were
subject to great persecution, and someone hit on an ingenious method of continuing the use of the
Pater noster code sign and still utilizing all the letters comprising the cross, but cunningly forming
them into an acrostic which was at the same time a palindrome. That is, a square of words which reads
the same across as it does down, and also can be read backwards to the same effect.

So successful and satisfying was this formula, that it was joyfully seized upon by the practitioners of
the Black Arts, and turned to excellent account, particularly as a love spell, which it is now generally
known as and much renowned for.
The method used in preparing this spell is as follows.
Select a Friday with the moon waxing and choose your time, either 8 A.M., 3 P.M., or 10 P.M. Then,
your altar dressed in the usual manner for amatory workings, purify the chamber with fire and water,
with the regular Habondia invocation and attendant images. Then take a sheet of clean, white paper
such as you used for your square of Mercury, and after exorcising it with water and fire, divide it up
into twenty-five equal squares, five down and five across with your pen and ink of art. Then chanting
a suitable jingle phrasing your intention with each letter that you inscribe, such as, "[name of person
whom spell is cast for] greatly desired and strong in love!"
Write the letters of the acrostic into the square in the following order, beginning with number 1 and
ending with 25, as usual injecting into it all the force of desire and yearning you can muster.

T E N E T 23 18 20/7 5 10
O P E R A 8 2 11 25 16
R O T A S 6 26 17 14 22
Begin at number 1, A, and end with number 26, O. The centre square, N, should be written in seventh,
and written over again twentieth. When you have finished, seal the charm with the triple cross and "So
mote it be!"; wrap it in a piece of clean cloth or place it in a box, and bury it in the earth for a day and
a night, if possible at a crossroads or a place where two paths meet. A crossroads or churchyard is the
traditional place, but a flowerbed or ordinary patch of ground where two paths cross will do. When
the twenty-four hours has elapsed, remove the talisman from the soil, and give it into the keeping of
the person it is to benefit.
During the time they wish to receive its aid, they should carry it on their person and sleep with it
under their pillow. The spell will not last forever, though. It is only good for about twenty-eight days,
and then a new talisman has to be constructed.
