Ave

After some simple observation of ritual set up, and comparing this over one hundred twenty year old ritual of "modern" magick to the Aurum Solis' "Setting of the Wards of Power" and especially Aleister Crowley's "improved" version of the ritual, "the Star Ruby", I reconstructed this ritual to follow with these guidelines.

LBRP v2.0

[Qabalistic Cross]

Face East.

Visualize a luminescent orb of white light above your head, right above the crown of your head.
(The mode of the hand is the index and middle fingers straight out, with the other two fingers bent towards palm, thumb resting on their nails.)
Touch the center of your forehead.
Vibrate: "ATEH"

Visualize ray of light going down the center of your body to a dark orb at your feet.
Touch the center of your breast.
Vibrate: "MALKUTH"

Visualize an orb of red light over your right shoulder.
Touch your right shoulder.
Vibrate: "V'GEBURAH"

Visualize an orb of blue light over your left shoulder.
Touch your left shoulder.
Vibrate: "V'GEDULAH"

Visualize all of the above, with an orb of gold light in the center of your chest.
Bring hands together, fingers intertwined, at the level of your breast.
Vibrate: "LE-OLAM, AMEN"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Formulate an upright pentgram upon your brow, above and between your eyes.
Raise hands to brow( index fingers and thumbs touching as to form a triangle, the middle fingers touching gracefully) framing the pentagram. Fling the pentagram out towards the east; Vibrate: "YOD-HE-VAU-HE"

Move to the South. Formulate pentgram as above upon brow. Raise hands to brow in same way. Fling forth the pentgram; Vibrate: "ADONAI"

Move to West. Forumlate pentagram as above upon brow. Raise hands to brow in same way. Fling forth the pentagram; Vibrate: "EHEHIEH"

Move to North. Formulate pentagram as above upon brow. Raise hands to brow in same way. Fling forth the pentagram;
Vibrate: "AGLA"

Move again to the East. Raise arms to form the Tau Cross. Speak/Vibrate:
"BEFORE ME, RAPHAEL
BEHIND ME, GABRIEL
AT MY RIGHT HAND, MICHAEL
AT MY LEFT HAND, AURIEL

"Before me Flames the Pentagram, within me Shines the Six-Rayed Star!"

Repeat Qabalistic Cross.

As you see, each step has a mental element, a tactile Element, and a verbal element, thereby bringing together each of those levels into harmony during each action.

If you perfer, you can visualize the centres of light in the QC as white light if you are having trouble vizualizing the colors.

I am currently working on further elaborations of this form, those consequently being labeled v2.1, v2.2, etc. I will post them once I have them fully worked out.
