last time i went to the eye doctor they wanted to charge me 70 bucks for the digital camera thing, and i asked if it was better, and the doctor (perhaps out of pride) said that the traditional method where she dilates and examines your eyes with the magnifying thing was perfectly good. so i just did that. whatever

On Sunday you must wear a purple robe, a tiara, and golden bracelets; you must arrange about the altar or
tripod, garlands of laurel, heliotrope, or sunflower; you must use as a fumigating incense cinnamon,
frankincense, saffron, and red sandal−wood; you require at your right hand a golden wand set with a ruby or
a chrysolite; and your operations must be carried out between one hour past midnight up to eight in the
morning, or between three in the afternoon and ten in the evening.

On Monday you should wear a white robe with silver ornaments, with a collar of three rows consisting of
pearls, crystals, and selenites; a tiara yellow with the letters of Gabriel in silver. The proper perfumes are
those of camphor, white sandalwood, amber, and cucumber seeds; the garlands for the altar should be of
armoise (query, mugwort, artemisia), evening primrose, and yellow ranunculus. Avoid with care anything of
black colour; use no cup or vessel of gold, silver only, or clear white china or pottery. The same hours as
before mentioned for the Sun, but use rather the night hours.

On Tuesday the colour of the robe should be fiery, or rusty, or of blood colour, with a girdle and bracelets of
steel; the wand should be of magnetised steel; a sword may also be used and a consecrated dagger; garlands
of absinth and rue; an amethyst and steel ring on the finger should also be worn.

On Wednesday the robe should be green or of shot silk many tinted; the necklet of pearls, or of glass beads
containing mercury; the perfumes are benzoin, myrrh, and storax; the flowers for the garlands are the
narcissus, lily, the annual or perennial mercurialis, fumitory, or marjoram; the precious stone is the agate.

On Thursday the robe of scarlet, a lamen of tin upon the forehead, bearing the symbol of Jupiter and the three
words Giazar of Fire, Bethor of Water, and Samgabiel, also fiery; the perfumes for incense, ambergris,
cardamon, grains of paradise, balm, mace, and saffron. The ring should contain an emerald or a sapphire; the
garlands of oak, poplar, fig−tree, or pomegranate; the wand of glass or resin. The robe should be made of
wool or silk.

On Friday the robe of azure blue, its decorations of green or rose colour, the wand of polished copper; the
perfumes are musk, civet, and amber; crown of violets; garlands of roses interspersed with boughs of myrtle
and olive; the ring ornamented by a turquoise. Lapis lazuli and beryl should decorate the crown or diadem.
The operator should hold a fan formed of swan's feathers, and should wear around his loins a circlet, being a
copper plate on which is engraved Anael, with its sigil, and on a circle surrounding these the words Ave
Evah; Vade Lilith.

The tech is really cool, they are all super computery now. I didn't want to get my pupils dilated so they used the Expensive Camera With Additional Charges, and then the doc spent like ten minutes with me panning and zooming around some, gosh they must have been 20k x 15k pixel superzoom pictures of my retinas. It was so neat, my optic nerve was right there, you could see the individual blood vessels etc. i probably annoyed him with all my geeking out over it
