A prayer for enlightened eyes encloses the fourth solar wheel. The notice assigns it the revelation of spirits that would otherwise remain invisible. [1]

The fourth solar pentacle is uncovered when otherwise invisible spirits are to appear visibly. The notice concerns the disclosure of their presence during the encounter. [1]
Eight character-tipped spokes surround central names within an outer verse. Mathers identifies IHVH and Adonai, characters in the Passing of the River alphabet, and Psalm 13:3–4. [1]
IHVH and Adonai occupy the centre in Passing of the River characters. Psalm 13:3–4 asks for enlightened eyes and protection from defeat. The prayer makes the observer’s sight central to a figure whose office is the visible appearance of spirits. [1]
