Lenain’s entry

1st genius, Vehuiah, והויה. His attribute is interpreted (God elevated and exalted above all things). He rules over the Hebrews. The name of God, according to this language, is called Jehovah. He governs the first ray of the Orient in the season of spring, that is to say the first five degrees of the sphere which begin on the 20th of March at midnight until the 24th, inclusively, corresponding to the first decade of the sacred calendar, and to the first genius, named Chontaré, under the influence of Mars: this genius, and those that follow, up to the 8th, belong to the first order of angels which the orthodox call the choir of the Seraphim. He dwells in the region of fire; his sign is the Ram, and he presides over the following five days: the 20th of March, the 31st of April, the 11th of August, the 22nd of October and the 2nd of January; the invocation is made facing the Orient, from midnight precisely until twenty minutes past midnight, to obtain enlightenment. It is by the virtue of these divine names that one becomes illuminated by the spirit of God; they must be pronounced at midnight precisely until twenty minutes past midnight, reciting the third verse of the 3rd psalm (Et tu Domine susceptor meus et gloria mea et exaltans caput meum). One must have one's talisman prepared according to the principles of the cabalistic art. (See on this subject chapter 8.) The person who is born under the influence of this genius has a subtle mind; they are endowed with great sagacity, passionate for the sciences and the arts, capable of undertaking and carrying out the most difficult things; they will love the military profession, because of the influence of Mars; they will have much energy, being dominated by fire. The evil genius influences turbulent men; he governs impulsiveness and anger.

Le texte de Lenain

1er. génie, Vehuiah .והויה Son attribut est interprété (Dieu élevé et exalté au-dessus de toutes choses). Il domine sur les Hébreux. Le nom de Dieu, d'après cette langue, est nommé Jehovah. Il gouverne le premier rayon de l'Orient dans la saison du printemps, c'est-à-dire les cinq premiers degrés de la sphère qui commencent au 20 mars à minuit jusqu'au 24, inclusivement, correspondant à la première décade du calendrier sacré, et au premier génie, nommé Chontaré, sous l'influence de Mars : ce génie, et ceux qui suivent, jusqu'au 8e., appartiennent au premier ordre des anges que les orthodoxes appellent le chœur des séraphins. Il habite la région du feu ; son signe est le bélier, et il préside les cinq jours suivants : les 20 mars, 31 avril, 11 août, 22 octobre et 2 janvier; l'invocation se fait vers l'Orient, depuis minuit précis jusqu'à minuit 20 minutes, pour obtenir des lumières. C'est par la vertu de ces noms divins que l'on devient illuminé de l'esprit de Dieu ; on doit les prononcer à minuit précis jusqu'à minuit 20 minutes, en récitant le troisième verset du psaume 3e. (Et tu Domine susceptor meus et gloria mea et exaltans caput meum). Il faut avoir son talisman préparé d'après les principes de l'art cabalistique. (Voyez à ce sujet le chapitre 8.) La personne qui est née sous l'influence de ce génie a l'esprit subtil; elle est douée d'une grande sagacité, passionnée pour les sciences et les arts, capable d'entreprendre et d'exécuter les choses les plus difficiles; elle aimera l'état militaire, à cause de l'influence de Mars; elle aura beaucoup d'énergie, étant dominée par le feu. Le mauvais génie influe sur les hommes turbulents; il domine la promptitude et la colère.
