Pronunciation guide to GEATAO:
MAGNAM TIRGAM (MAN-yahm TEER-gahm, MAGNAM means GREAT)
JUADARITA (Hoo-WAH-dah-REE-tah)
ALAAYA (Ala-AH-yah)
SARADOC (Sa-rah-DOKK) [These five introductory names of front-line spirits are equivalent to knocking on a door and having it opened] [Question: Can you use this opening for any magical prayer other than GEATAO? Answer: Yes.]
GEATAO (Geh-YAH-tow, rhymes with NOW, name of chief spirit) [It is wrong to pronounce this as YAH-tow]
TE APELLA (Teh Ah-PEH-lah, I appeal to you)
GEPARATO (Geh-pah-RAH-toh, name of lesser spirit)
GEPIPO (Geh-PEE-poh, name of lesser spirit)
CHRISTUM PEPUM (KRIS-toom PEH-poom, name of lesser spirit)
BISTE (BEES-teh, name of lesser spirit)
BANGE (BANG-heh, name of lesser spirit)
BESTIPO (Bes-TEE-poh, name of lesser spirit)
RECANTAR ITE (Re-can-TAHR EE-teh, Go and sing again of this)
BUM (Boom, not a word, but, like PHU in other oraciones, the sound is supposed to kick the previously vibrated passages through ether)
QUE SE DEUS PACTENIT (Ke Seh DEH-yoos Pack-TEH-nit, That God [or the god] may go with you; it is common in oraciones that pidgin Latin and pidgin Spanish are mingled)
MOLAI (Moh-LIGH, rhymes with HIGH, name of lesser spirit)
MALANAI (Mah-lah-NIGH, name of lesser spirit)
MOLAO (Moh-LAO, rhymes with NOW, name of lesser spirit)
PETAT MATAT (PEH-tat MAH-tat, It will be attacked, It will die)
HARI ANG DADAAN, (HARI referring to GEATAO and NOT to the person reciting the oracion) [Note: Do NOT pronounce DADAAN as DARAAN because the former is masculine, the latter, feminine]
HAHAWI KAYONG LAHAT! (Do not substitute HAWI or HUMAWI for HAHAWI)
MAIGSAC (Mah-eeg-SACK, name of lesser spirit)
MAIGMAC (Mah-eeg-MACK, name of lesser spirit)
EGOLHUM PETIGSAC (Eh-GALL-hoom, Also with me, Peh-teeg-SACK, name of lesser spirit)
PENIVICCIUM LUXCIRIS SALVAME (Peh-nee-VEECH-yoom, I desire this, I aim at this, Loox-CHEE-riss, By the light that shines on me, SAHL-vah-meh, Save me, rescue me, or be my salvation. This last line is the llave, susi, or key that finally propels the oracion.)
I wish to point out that the ONLY correct Latin words and phrases are MAGNAM, TE APELLA, CHRISTUM, ITE, SE, DEUS, and SALVAME. The rest are a hodgepodge, but we should remind ourselves that local mages at the time were taught neither Latin nor Spanish, and had only texts they could get hold of.
