The Key of Solomon The King · 59 of 59
Given by Eliphaz Lévi in 'Rituel de la Haute Magie,' Chapter xiii.
This closing invocation is Levi's, taken from his Rituel de la Haute Magie. It is built on the Tree of Life: the operator names each Sephira in turn and asks its power to settle on a part of his body and life. The grimoire ends not with a spirit summoned outward but with the whole divine map drawn onto the self.Eliphas Levi, 'Rituel de la Haute Magie', Ch. XIII.
POWERS of the Kingdom, be beneath my left foot, and within my right hand.
'Powers of the Kingdom, be beneath my left foot, and within my right hand.' The invocation arranges the Sephiroth across the operator's own body, Malkuth at the feet, the higher powers at the shoulders and crown. Prayer becomes a kind of embodiment: the practitioner does not stand before the Tree of Life so much as stand as it, aligning himself limb by limb with the structure of the divine world.The Sephirotic body-alignment; Levi's invocation.
Glory and Eternity touch my shoulders, and guide me in the Paths of Victory.
Mercy and justice be ye the Equilibrium and splendour of my life.
Understanding and Wisdom give unto me the Crown.
Spirits of Malkuth conduct me between the two columns whereon is supported the whole edifice of the Temple.
Angels of Netzach and of Hod strengthen me upon the Cubical Stone of Yesod.
O GEDULAHEL! O GEBURAHEL! O TIPHERETH!
BINAHEL, be Thou my Love!
RUACH CHOKMAHEL, be Thou my Light!
Be that which Thou art, and that which thou willest to be, O KETHERIEL!

Halelu-Yah! Halelu-Yah! Halelu-Yah. Amen.
After every conjuration, curse and sacrifice, the whole book ends on the plainest note of Jewish worship: Halelu-Yah, Halelu-Yah, Halelu-Yah, Amen, with the choirs of angels named in ascent. Whatever strange country it has travelled, it closes where synagogue and church both close, on the word of praise. The last sound of this grimoire is Hallelujah.Hallelujah (Psalms 146-150); the angelic choirs; the invocation's close.
