Post Yer Rituals Here!
93
Dear All,
I thought it might be
interesting to start a thread where people can post
their experiences with various rituals, whether
standard, adaptations or original creations. It may be a
good way to introduce each other to new material, or
compare results with standard material. Would probably
be helpful to post the name of the ritual in the title
box.

Attunement of elemental earth
An interesting idea and one I think can
generate great discussion. I was planning to discuss
something mundane but since I see the potential of this
thread I will share something a little more
personal.
Ritual: Attunement of elemental
earth Source: Shor the Kerub of elemental
earth Purpose: Well the purpose should be
obvious from the
title.
This is a ritual that you will not find in
any book that I know of. It was obtained from the angel
Shor. Its intended use is as part of the elemental grade
structure in the Golden Dawn but I am sure if you wanted
to it could be adapted to other uses. At first it seems
overly simplistic and bears more than a passing
resemblance to the EEE, but dedicated use will show it
potency.
1.
Stand with your arms stretched out and your legs
together forming a Tau
cross. 2.
Visualize and feel a large black earth triangle
superimposed upon your body. The tip of the triangle
should come to just below your feet and the bottom of
the triangle should run just across the top of your
head. 3.
Visualize and feel the Hebrew letter ה (Heh) at chest
level. 4.
While in this position vibrate the divine name Adoni
HaAretz and Adoni Melekh.
The
effects of this simple but effective ritual are
interesting. At first it seems it does nothing at all.
After a few days your body begins to vibrate during the
ritual. This progresses until the vibrations crystallize
until during the ritual you and earth are one and the
same. This effect persists and the next stage has the
Hebrew letter burrowing into your chest and entering
into Tiphareth or your heart center. The next stage I
will let you find out for
yourself…
Additionally you can see
how easily this ritual can be adapted for use of other
elemental energies by looking at the YHVH
formula.

Thelemic Rosary
Thelemic Rosary. THIS IS MY ROSARYThe
Rosary I use is an olive wood Greek Orthodox rosary with
and equal armed cross. On the Cross I have written AGAPE
and THELEMA in Greek letters. Adapted from
various sources...more of a meditation than a ritual I
suppose. 1. Tracing the Cross with thumb I
intone: SOI at the top, O PHALLE and the bottom,
ISCHUROS on the right arm, EUCHARISTOS on the left, and
IAO in the centre. 2. The first large beed I
repeat: LAShTAL! THELEMA! FIAOF! AGAPÉ! AUMGN! 3.
Next three small beads I recite either Nuit, Hadit,
Ra-Hoor-Khuit or a verse from 220 which corresponds to
that "deity". 4. The large beads of the rosary I
say: Seven are the veils of the dancing-girl in
the harem of IT. Seven are the names, and seven
are the lamps beside Her bed. Seven eunuchs guard
Her with drawn swords; No Man may come nigh unto
Her. In Her wine-cup are seven streams of the blood
of the Seven Spirits of God. Seven are the heads
of THE BEAST whereon She rideth. The head of an
Angel: the head of a Saint: the head of a Poet: the
head of An Adulterous Woman: the head of a Man of
Valour: the head of a Satyr: and the head of a
Lion-Serpent. Seven letters hath Her holiest name;
and it is BABALON 5. The small beads I
recite: Hail Babalon filled with Joy Ra-Hoor-
khu is with thee. Blessed and cursed art thou in thy
glory and glorious the Beast on whom thou
ridest Scarlet Woman, Mother of
Abominations Gather Our Blood in the Golden Cup of
thy Fornication AUMGN, AUMGN, AUMGN I
find this a good preparation for meditation, ritual, or
to do anywhere people are watching! Using a "proper"
rosary seems to go un-noticed...until you say Mother of
Abomination too loud

Dear NuHad418
Another great idea!
I like the use of tactile feelings such as playing with
beads whilst performing meditation or adoration. These
first two posts amply demonstrate that a thread such as
this has great potential for expanding the ritual
regimen for many of us!
Can you post some results
you have had using the Thelemic Rosary?

An Invocation of Anpu
93
As I have just posted this in another
forum on OF, I thought it may be worthwhile to lead of
my contribution with -
An Invocation of
Anpu By - Me.
AN INVOCATION
OF ANUBIS. *************************** Based on
the Liber Israfel format (YHVH Formula)
Ring bell
nine times in a series of threes
I
I
invoke Anpu, the Lord of Time and Magick, God of the
Mystic Veil ! Grow, O light, come forth O light.
Rise O light, ascend O light. Thou who art
without, come in. O Thou Opener of the Roads,
Governor of the Hall of the Gods, Thee, Thee, I invoke!
Thou the Jackal-Headed God, who bridges Heaven and
Earth, Thee, Thee I invoke! Thou who wieldest the
Tyler’s sword! Thee, Thee I invoke! Thou who bearest
in Thy left hand the Rose & Cross of Light &
Life: Thee, Thee I invoke! Thou whose head is as
onyx, and nemyss as the night-sky blue! Thee I invoke!
Thou whose skin is as flaming gold at Noontide!
Thou whose eyes penetrate the depths of the soul of
Man, Thee, Thee I invoke! Thou Knower of the sacred
mysteries of Magick, Thee, Thee I invoke! Thou the
weigher of the Heart against the feather of Truth, Thee,
Thee I invoke! Thou, the Guide of Souls, the Royal
Child of Khemet: Thee, Thee I invoke!
II
(Assume God-form of Anpu)
Behold I am
ever present - for I am the Personification of Time, and
the Guide of the Immortal Soul I am the Horizon
which divides the visible from the invisible! I am
the Lord of the Dead & of the veils beyond!
Foremost of Westeners, I am Lord of Past and Future!
I oversee the scales of Ma’at in the Hall of
Judgement! Through my protection dost thou thwart Ammut
the Devourer! Behold! He is in me & I in Him!
I am He, God of Twilight and Midnight For I am
Yinepu, the Royal Child, I am Sekhem em Pet, the
Power of Heaven I am Khent Sehet, Govenor of the
Hall of the God. Mine is the Unseen force whereof
the Gods are sprung! My tongue is the sanctuary of
Maat, Goddess of Truth! My Will is accomplished by
Day and by Night, I am the voice of Anpu in the
presence of the Eternal; I see by mine own inward Light!
III
Therefore do Thou come forth
unto me from Thine Abode in Amenti: AN-HERT! YINEPU!
AM UT! By whatsoever Name Thou art called by all the
Nations of the Earth, Thou art Nameless unto Eternity:
Come Thou forth I say and aid and guard me in this Work
of Art. Thou the Protector of Lost Souls! Thou
Royal Child who defended Heru in the marshes! Thou
Master of the Light and of the Darkness! Lord of the
Circle and the shrine at the centre, who cometh forth
from the dusk! Come Thou forth I say, Come Thou
forth! And make all spirits subject unto me, so that
every spirit of the Firmament and of the Aethyr, on dry
land and in the Water, upon the Earth or under the
Earth, of Whirling Air or of Rushing Fire, and every
Spell and Scourge of God the Vast One may be obedient
unto me!
IV
TUA ANPU, SEMA UAT
A’PU EN HET-BA UT’A EN A’MENTET EM WEHEM
TUA-TU A’U-K WAB A’NET-HRA-K ANPU
I make
open the Veil of Life and Death, I ascend from the
Underworld; I overshadow you with My Presence Ye
Children of Earth that are gathered in the Hall of
Truth! The God who commands is in my mouth! HU !
The God of Wisdom is in my Heart ! SAA ! My
tongue is the Sanctuary of Truth ! And a God sitteth
upon my Lips ! My Word is accomplished every day !
And the desire of my heart realizes itself, as that
of Ptah when he createteth his Works !
Anku en
shemsu en Netjer
O Glory be Unto Thee
Through all Time And through all Space Glory
And Glory upon Glory Everlastingly, Amen and
Amen and Amen.
The Ending of the Words is the
Word ABRAHADABRA!
This ritual involves
little preparation, although a large ankh and sword are
great props if you have them.
Although the ritual
can be easily performed by one person, it does require
the ability to step in and out of the Godform to take on
the two roles. It is really effective when worked with
two people, one taking parts I and III, the other II and
IV.
As is readily apparent, this ritual is based
on the format of Liber Israfel (Bennett/Crowley) which
has the great advantage that it can be adapted to a
myriad of deities - one merely needs knowledge of
appropriate correspondences and a little bit of creative
flair.

Todd | 93 My
experiences have been varied depending on how much time
I spend using it. Primarily I would say that using it:
- Calms and focuses my mind.
- It opens my focus to the Thelemic "feminine"
principle (Babalon).
- Intoning the Aumgn sanctifies the "psychic"
surroundings.
- Using it slowly gives a feel of calm and
sanctity...using it quickly and forcefully opens
ecstacy and "lust".
- Just holding the rosary actually grounds
me.

The Form of Adam Kadmon
This is, I suppose,
an offshoot of the Middle Pillar Ritual. The method is
slightly different, but th results are the same. The
source is the Zohar. This came about from the following
line of reason: if man is a microcosm, he reflects the
same sefirotic tree as the macrcosm. Thus, there exists
within man his own "en sof," into which the sefiroth can
be projected.
I did this lying down, but I see no
reason why it won't work standing, sitting, or in any
other position.
Close your eyes and turn your
thoughts inward. Push all your thoughts aside until
you can visualize a space in the centre. Into that
space, project a single ray of light. Out of that
ray, form the first sefira, kether, above your
head. From kether, send a ray of light to the right
of your head, and form hokhmah. Send a ray from
hokhmah to your left and form binah. Move the light
to your right arm and form hessed. From hessed, form
geburah on your left. Form tifereth in tour
abdomen. From tifereth form nesah at your right
leg From nesah, form hod at your left leg From
hod, form yesod at your groin Finally, point the
light downward and form malkhuth at your feet. The
sefirotic tree of life should now be superimposed over
your body

Evoking the four Archangels
This is
something I can do separate from the LBRP, most likely
becuase every Orthodox Jew who reads Kether Malkhuth
does it every year on Yom Kippur, but to provide a
simpler means of doing so:
After assuming the
form of Adam Kadmon: Open da'ath over the centre of
your chest - it should not posess any light at
all From da'ath project four beams of light in this
order: front, back, right, left As each beam is
projected, station the proper archangel: Before me,
Rafael Behind me, Gabriel At my right,
Mikhael At my left, Uriel

hey... cool ritual Nero! I've been wondering about
finding rituals that relate to my grade as Malkuth, I
might just have to borrow that one... I've already
started with the Middle Pillar in Assiah. Anyway,
here's just a simple ritual, more of an incorporation if
you will, of the Godforms and the Tarot that I've been
experimenting with to great results... I've been doing
this especially with the Tarot doctrines of the Malkuth
grade in mind from the 'True and Invisible Rosicrucian
Order' from Case which is why its of significance to
me... 1. Settle into the God position 2. Read
an invocation unto the letter or the card it represents
(I personally read from the Book of Tokens from Paul
Foster Case) 3. Feel the letter in your heart, hold
the card before you in contemplation 4. Gradually
feel the form of the card envelope your
environment 5. Close your eyes, imagine yourself in
the form of the character in the card. Imagine you see
as they do, feel the environment and the effect it has
upon you. 6. Intone the letter of the card, and feel
it expand from your heart into the Universe 7. Be
still in the position, and observe as weird things
happen.

aware that the course of pathworking directs one from
malkhuth to kether. When I did this, I was operating on
the principle of the microcosm. In other words, our own
mind and will act as En Sof, and we project our own
sefiroth out of our consciousness. The Tree of Life is
also said to reflect the body of Adam Kadmon (primaeval
man), who was Adam in the image of God (in this case,
Metatron). Since this is, in some way, an inverted
pathworking, the thaumaturge is not climbing to God, but
drawing God in.

This little meditation was explained to me by
Raziel. I call it the "Blue Sphere" 1) Lie / sit
in your normal meditation position 2) Do 3 fold
breathing until you are relaxed as per normal astral
prep 3) DO NOT start to enter a trance state, simply
relax your body and become aware of your natural energy
flow 4) Focus on the constant chatter that goes on in
your mind, the inner voice that never shuts up and
usually distracts you just as you are about to achieve
true meditation 5) While focussing on the chatter,
become aware that it has a certian vibration 6)
direct this vibration out of your "third eye" and
visualise it forming into a glowing blue sphere above
your heart centre 7) visualise a pure white light
coming out of the blue sphere, down into your heart
centre  keep going for a few minutes, come out of it
normally The main thing with this is to do it
slowly and not to force it, this one works itself. It's
especially good when you are sick... hint hint |

EVOKATION - A.E.Waite's "Black Magic
& Pacts;" Richard Cavendish's "The Black
Arts"
Todd,
This is a well-written ritual of evokation
done by a fellow (Morpheus
Shapiro) using A.E.Waite's "Black Magic and
Pacts" and Richard Cavendish's "The Black Arts". I like
the fact the author quotes chapter and verse and tells
the story from an balanced perspective of perceiving
entities. I am placing it here as a tid-bit that some
may find of interest. I'd not like to resurrect or
create a Thread: The Evokation of So-&-So, when this
Thread of yours presents itself so well.
PM me if you'd like it
removed or have a better suggestion where it would
fit.
JQP
In the last quarter of 1970, I performed
an experiment in old-style Ceremonial Magick. This was a
summoning by the practice of Goetic Magick (use
ofCrowley's "k' for such stuff is debatable). The theory
was clear to me andseemed safe. My sources were not very
reliable, and my experience was slight. The whole thing
would have gone well enough if my colleague hadn't
ignored the simplest precautions.
'C.' and I met over a glass of wine in
his apartment. He and his wifeoccupied the rooms over
mine for several months during the years I lived
inOakland. C's wife was celebrating her birthday, and
she had invited me to the occasion. I had not met her
husband before, but the fact that their bedroomwas
directly above mine made for something of an
introduction.
C.
remarked proudly that he had managed to get a science
fiction storypublished. We discussed that a bit, and I
thought to pick up the laggingconversation with a few
remarks about my occult interests. The wine waspleasant
and slightly dulling to wits and judgment. When I
mentioned that Ipossessed several rituals used in the
Middle Ages and Renaissance forsummoning the "devil," C.
immediately became alert. He abruptly suggested that we
try one. This startled me; but, to save face under the
gentle persuasion of the wine, I slowly agreed. It would
not be possible to do afull job of it on such short
notice, I told him, but we could give it a try. I
reasoned that the demons were only facets of the self,
and that no possible harm could come through such an
experiment. I was more than half convinced that C. was
just making a joke and not really serious. That may have
been the case at the start.
We adjourned to my apartment. I assembled
the necessary props and references. For a ritual we used
A.E.Waite's "Black Magic and Pacts" (a stupidly blinded
book) and Richard Cavendish's "The Black Arts". I took a
robe with a black lining and reversed it. I had an old
masonic sword, quite elaborate and magical. This sword
had a silver chain from guard to pommel. Where the chain
joined the pommel, a tiny silver ring formed the last
link. There was a fireplace with wooden mantle in the
West wall of the room. The flue had long ago been closed
and an electric heater filled the entire hearth opening.
We placed our half empty glasses on the mantle and set
to work.
I showed C.
the preparations and schooled him briefly in the ritual.
We took up a stand in the center of the room, facing
East. After passing the sword slowly about us both to
define a magical circle, I moved the sword inside the
circle to duplicate a design shown on page 238 of
Cavendish's book. We went through the lesser pentagram
banishment. The conjuration we used next is given on
pages 241 and 242 of Waite's book. It is very poorly
written, but it was enough to call something from the
depths of C's mind. It even produced a few external
results.
Immediately
after the conjuration, a loud and steady buzzing sound
issued from the closed-up fireplace behind us. The sound
persisted for several minutes and resembled the buzzing
of a large fly trapped behind the grate. The sound had
not been heard in that place before and it never
occurred again. No material cause ever presented itself,
but something physical could have caused it. I chose to
interpret this sound as a warning from the demon
Baalzebub,"Lord of Flys" (Actually, "Baalzebut" is
derived from Syriac, not Hebrew, and signifies
"Bridegroom"). The sound had come from the West while we
were facing East. Even as East is the direction of the
rising Sun, it is said in Christian mysticism (the
conjuration was partly Christian) that Christ shall come
from the East on Judgment day and the devils shall fly
with the souls ofthe damned toward the West.
Accordingly, I suggested that we should face the when
summoning by this formula. We faced West and pronounced
the following"discharge," also found in Waite's book,
page 243:
"Go in
peace unto your places. May there be peace between us
and You, and be ye ready to come when ye are called. In
the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost. Amen."
We
resumed the conjuration. This procedure was repeated
many times during the night and into the early morning
hours. We called in turn upon two "demons,"Belial and
Asmoday, and used the information and seals presented by
Waite in"Black Magic and Pacts."
On page 175:
"Asmoday, a strong and powerful king,
appears with three heads, the first like a bull, the
second like a man, and the third like a ram. He has a
serpent's tail, the webbed feet of a goose, and he
vomits fire. He rides an infernal dragon, carries lance
and pennon, and is the chief of the power of Amaymon. He
must be invoked bareheaded, for otherwise he will
deceive. He gives the ring of virtues, teaches
arithmetic, geomancy, and all handicrafts,answers all
questions, makes men invisible, indicates the places of
concealed treasures and guards them if within the
dominion of Amaymon."
On page 187:
"Belial, a mighty king created next after
Lucifer, appears in the form of a beautiful angel seated
in a chariot of fire, and speaking with a pleasant
voice. He fell first amongst the superior angels who
went before Michael andother heavenly angels. He
distributes preferences of senatorships, causes favors
of friends and foes, and gives excellent familiars. He
must haveofferings and sacrifices made to him."
As we multiplied our
conjurations, I grew gradually weary of the
wholeprocess. Nothing much happened beyond an occasional
movement of a curtain oran odd sound from outside.
Things were different for C. As I grew more bored, he
grew more tense. Sweat broke out on his brow, and his
bodygradually became rigid. His breathing became audible
and forced. He had the sword when he did a very foolish
thing.
We had just
finished the conjuration of Asmoday and were waiting for
the usual flop when he suddenly thrust the hilt beyond
the circle and said: "I offer you the magic sword if you
appear!"
I uttered a
warning, but it was too late. He had broken the circle
with the chief instrument of protection. Nothing
happened then beyond a minor mishap. When he passed the
sword hilt through the circle, the chain from guard to
pommel fell free of the pommel. After giving the
discharge, we tried to rejoin the chain to the pommel;
but the silver ring that formed the link was nowhere to
be found. I reasoned that it had probably caught in his
clothing when he thrust the hilt forward and that it
must have fallen off. We continued.
I became concerned about C's reactions.
What he did was harmless as physical actions go; but
this action was far from harmless in the ritual setting.
To give up protection in the evocation of a harmful
spirit is to ask that spirit to obsess you. Even if the
ritual is nothing but a psychological game, that is a
very odd thing to do. I resolved to participate in only
one more try and then to stop.
The next evocation proceeded as did the
others, no trouble and no result. After it I told C.
that I was growing tired (the dawn was breaking) and
that I wished to cease the conjurations. He pleaded with
me to do one more. I refused to help, but agreed that he
could do it alone if he wished.
At first he protested that I would be
outside the circle and in danger. To quiet him, I showed
him a large crucifix with a death's head at the base.
This, I said, would be protection enough. He
agreed.
I seated
myself at some distance from his workings. From my new
position, I was able to get a better look at him. What I
saw distressed me. He looked like a man intoxicated with
fear. His clothes were wet with sweat, and he had a wild
look. I began to have misgivings about the whole thing.
Yet, he had begun; and I thought it best not to
interrupt him.
He
quickly rushed through the conjuration. When it was
finished, he stood for a moment with the book open at
his feet. Suddenly he dropped to his knees and said in a
clear voice; "Come and take me! You can have my soul if
you appear!" That was a stupid thing to do!
He immediately
slumped forward on his knees at an unnatural angle and
began recitation of the discharge. When he finished, he
lowered himself closer to the Waite book, which was open
to the seal of Asmoday, and said; "I don't want to go.
Don't send me away." He froze in that position with all
his muscles rigid.
The first thing that crossed my mind was;
"What am I going to do with the body?" Taking the
initiative, I went up to C. and held the cross between
his eyes and the book. Then I raised the cross to touch
his forehead. He uttered an enormous sigh and relaxed.
C. retrieved a wine
glass from the mantle and went to my couch to sit down.
Between sips of the wine he was telling me how harrowing
his experience had been, when suddenly he uttered an
inarticulate sound and stared at his glass. He brought
the glass over to me, asking; "Do you see that?" "Do you
see that?"
I took
the glass from his trembling fingers and inspected it.
After a moment I saw on the bottom, beneath an inch or
so of red wine, the silver ring that had fallen from the
sword. I quickly drank the rest of the wine to reassure
him. How did the link reach the glass? It would have had
to travel an almost impossible path from the place where
the chain broke free to the tiny opening of the glass on
the mantle three feet above. Perhaps C. introduced it
into the glass himself. I don't know. If he did it
himself, he couldn't have been fully conscious of it. He
was genuinely disturbed.
When C. recovered enough to leave, he
insisted on taking the sword up to bed with him as a
protection against --- what? Later, as I lay in my bed,
I heard gasping from the room above, like the sounds
made by a person dying of a heart attack. A few days
later, C. asked if we could do something like that
again. I evaded the question. He later became a Jesus
Freak of some kind, enlisted in the Armed Services and
developed a neurotic fear of the honking of geese.
The whole episode
may be interpreted as a lesson in applied psychology
from my own inward god to me. As for C., his inward god
seems to need heavy handed tactics to teach him lessons.
I hope he learned how to live more gently, but I have my
doubts.

My version of the LBRP
Using the Crowley Thoth Tarot deck (because I love
the imagery for doing rituals) I place the Ace of Disks
(Earth) at North, the Ace of Cups (Water) at West, the
Ace of Wands (Fire) at South, and the Ace of Swords
(Air) at East. This creates my circle.
Standing
in the center and using my athame I do the Qabalistic
Cross. I begin the LBRP doing a banishing pattern with
the pentagrams. Once I finish saying "Before me flames
the pentagram. Behind me shines the six ray star" I then
cross my arms across my chest in a pharaoh type manor
while still holding the athame and then I
say
North, South, East and West I call upon
your guardian best Earth, Fire, Water, Wind To
this circle I invoke within Charge your powers
create a shield A spirit wall I ask you
build Protect this time protect this space Protect
this ritual in this place
At which point I open
the circle. Then I do any candle magick or prayers or
waiting to hear for the Divine that needs to be done.
Sometimes I connect with the element Air.
Then I
do the invoking version of the LBRP. Then I recite
North, South, East and West I thank you for
your guardian best Earth, Fire, Water, Wind I
thank you for your presence within
I then close
the circle.
I then go outside and toss salt three
times into the wind as an offering to God. I toss bird
seeds three times into the wind as an offering to
Goddess.
