The Bornless Ritual Options

Hi all;

Is the Bornless ritual a precursor to practice? Something that needs to be done prehpas before doing invokation work and so on? Have you done it and if so does it only need doign once or is it a ritual that needs doing on a regular basis.

Thanks

The Bornless One invocation is an interesting work. Originally a greek-egyptian rite for exorcism to remove a possessing demon from the victim. The Golden Dawn reworked it a bit and used it to invoke the higherself. Then of course Crowley took it and combined it with enochian and parts of the SIRP to create his ritual to invoke the Holy Guardian Angel, Liber Samekh.

Because of Crowly's Liber Samekh and him including it in his edited copy Goeita it has become a very popular invocation in modern time. It of course is not the only invocation of it's type around but it is effective.

No neither the bornless invocation nor Liber Samekh is intended to be a one time deal. Both are supposed to be used on a continuous basis so that the higherself might reveal itself to you. Although this sort of routine is not too helpful to the beginner as it takes time to purify and exalt the mind and body to the point where the true effects of such a rite can be seen. These rites are helpful in some workings such as evocations or invocations of god forms.

I am familiar with The invocation of the heart girt with a serpent / The bornless ritual in The Goetia.

Crowley is giving it as a preliminary invocation. When performed it radiates alot of power. Quite fun!

However I suppose I am more inclined to take a Chaos Magician approach to the 72 mighty kings and princes. In that I omit it usually.

Peace!
