A Question On Cm. Options

i want to practice Ceremonial magic, i don't know what "flavor" though. I want it to angelical, not black magick... i'm thinking about enochian but thats supposed to be really powerfull... and hard. I want to choice a style so that i can focus mostly on that one only.

I want yaw to tell me about a few of the different styles of ceremonial magic, and the results you got served, so i can get help chosing the style i want to study the most... I don't care really how hard, becouse i can do anything i put my mind too.

Of course i want something that i can easily access without a whole lot of things i have to buy... (i'm low on money and if i buy strange things they might start asking questions, and i'm not really a good lier...)

So far i have read aggrippas book on ceremonial magic, and some varous other things, but nothing else really to talk about.

thanks.

I really think you are approaching the subject incorrectly. Why not start with some basic rituals? Try and start a daily routine and see how that goes first then expand upon it.

Something along the lines of the LBRP and MP, or maybe the Star Ruby to get a feel for the 93 current if your interested in Crowley. Maybe cap it with a little meditation. Just a little bit every day works wonders and will let you know if this is going to be something you would want to pursue further. You can find all these basic rituals online for free. After a few weeks maybe check out a few texts like Crowley's Liber E and Liber O, Kraig's Modern Magick, or anything by Greer.

I hope that makes more sense.

I agree completly. Also if you need more information try these sites:From Basics to Adv., Resourses, Interactive Qabala, Bardon Companion, More F.B.. You could probably use these as a complete course. Once you have your foundation anything can be done, and most important "Know Yourself".I hope this helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif)

Let me first start off by saying that Solomonic Magick deals only in small part with demons, those spirits in the Goetia and Theurgia Goetia, the first two books in the 4/5 books of the Lemegeton, the Lesser Key Of Solomon. The other 2 books deal with angels exculsively, not even mentioning the Greater Key of Solomon that deals only with angels. Secondly, if you want to get started on conjuring spirits, I've gone an extra few steps and found free pdf files to get you started, these are:

http://www.fratermd.com/magic/SummoningSpi...onstantinos.pdf -Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos, a training manual using mostly Golden Dawn type magick.

http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/grimoire/gkos1.pdf }
http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/grimoire/gkos2.pdf }--This is the Greater Key of Solomon, in three parts
http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/grimoire/gkos3.pdf }

http://www.hermetics.org/pdf/grimoire/arbatelofmagick.pdf -The Arbatel of Magic

These should be more than enough to get you started. And, if you find that you can get your hands on some money, get these two books, as they are the best on the subject:

The Secrets of the Magickal Grimoires by Aaron Lietch
Ceremonial Magic and The Power of Evocation by Joseph Lisiewski

Good luck, frater.
