The LRP, the GRP, and the SPR seem to come up over and over again. I consider these foundational rituals and even those who do not use them at least started this path with the study of them. Yet there seems every month another question about them and from the questions there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding out there.

It has been suggested to me that I should write up a class at least on the lesser pentagram ritual but I am unable to do so for various reasons. Mainly much of the nitty gritty elements and inner energy work with the vibrations and all I learned through membership in my order and due to my oath I cannot discuss them. So in essence if I did in fact write a class it would be pretty much what is already written and diluted enough that there would be no point.

But it occurs to me that I might be able to answer specific questions that anyone might have. Obviously I will answer them as best as I can and if it encroaches upon my oath I will just dance around it or just not answer the question. It is a pain but it is the best I can do.

So if anyone has anything they have always wanted to know about any of the pentagram rituals then go ahead and ask.

I have a question that I don't think I saw yet. It's about the actual drawing of the pentagrams.

One thing that seems universal in all versions of the LBRP that I've seen is an emphasis on the pentagrams being as geometrically perfect as possible. I'm pretty sure I understand why and I'll lay my understanding out here:

The pentagram represents a perfect balance between the elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit. When expressed in a more or less concrete form (be it physical or astral), the perfection of that balance is expressed in the pentagram's geometry--the angles being equal to each other, the length of each line being equal to the others, etc. If an angle is too obtuse or a line is too long, that represents an imbalance, the resulting pentagram is skewed and it no longer embodies a perfect balance.

In principle that's all well and good--and I'm sure that even if your pentagrams are pretty lopsided, provided you've done your best to draw them carefully, you've also succeeded in pouring a good amount of intent into them, and I'm sure that fact was considered in devising the ritual as well.

Still, I have to ask how important it is in the LBRP to draw exact pentagrams, in relation to the importance of other aspects such as vibrating the names, visualizing, etc.? See, one of my problems is in drawing the horizontal line a little bit too high and ending up with a relatively tiny Spirit point. When I draw the pentagrams imperfectly, I also have trouble visualizing them perfectly.

I want to know how much energy I should be putting into perfecting my pentagram's shape as opposed to other things.
