You are making this oath to the uni- verse, and if you make it with sincerity, the uni- verse will always be ready to assist you along your path. The night before you are ready to begin the Abramelin operation, you need to take formally the oath you have written. You can go into what- ever space you are using as a temple and stand in front of your altar, like a soldier preparing to go into battle. You can knock once on the sur- face of your altar with your fist, as if calling the attention of the universe. In fact, in one way or another, that is exactly what you are doing. Then recite your oath aloud. Sincerity is a prerequisite, but don't be afraid if you feel a little awkward saying your oath in an empty temple. You are just beginning. People feel most awkward when they are being most genuine. So don't fear awkwardness, it could very well be the real you peeking through for a second. Remember, you are taking an oath. This is no less serious than an oath to your friend or your family or your country. It is much more se- rious, because it is an oath to the entire universe.
