Q&a: Lbrp And The Pentagram Rituals, What do you want to know about the pentagram rituals? Options

... your computer game may well have been a distraction or your, 'addiction' to it an unhealthy one.

Am in full agreement with Velarious on the practicality of this ritual in all its forms. Speaking for its use in banishing, over the past few weeks I've been in complete awe at its ability to restore harmony in times of strife, really is intresting how a negative current can have a hold on you and the control over ones emotional fields one really has and can excersize through the frequent use of this ritual.... my only questioning of it is one regarding its longevity perhaps but thats about it.

.M.

actually since i have been doing the lbrp(almost a month) i have quit smoking!! its quite incredible because i have tried it many times... but now i just dont need it anymore!!

The same happened to me once I got into the elemental grades, the addiction just fell off, although, and I was warned, it does tend to take another form and tends an attempt to come back from a renewed angle.

Pays to be weary.

How do you begin to study the pentagram rituals?

How do you begin to study the pentagram rituals?

You converse with the entities involved. I was instructed to do the LBRP for a year as part of my early training, never letting it become habit but always with emotion and thorough visualization. I was also given a sequence to follow with the pentagram rituals, involving a meditation after each invoking and a conversation with the entities in each pentagram. If you want to do this write the results in your journal and see what you get.

Hmmmm... thanks waterfall, at one point I was attuning myself to the elements attempting to feel them in a shuffled tarot pack, got quite good at it being "able" to see into a card without knowing it but I stopped practicing and have likely reverted somewhat. The task was to see the element, smell it, feel it and so on using the five senses clairvoyantly.

Might start again.

Consider it a type of shamanic journey or Jungian active imagination, though there is no need to go into trance or anything so extreme to get good results. My experience with the elements (and I was not taught this in the traditional sequence, so it may be unique to me) is that contact with them requires patience, respect and willingness to spend serious time communicating. If I treat them as friendly and interesting guests then they are cooperative in many senses. Acting like this is a test, making contact and then "going on" to something else will cause them to ignore you.

Question 1: Is the Lesser Ritual Pentagram of elemental nature? I read from somewhere that the Banishing Earth Pentagram we draw is not of elemental nature. An elemental pentagram would comprise of the kerubic sign. If it is not of elemental nature, what nature of forces are we drawing?


Question 2: If the ritual is not of elemental nature, why don’t we draw other three form of banishing pentagram in its respective direction?


Question 3: The divine names used in the four directions do not correspond to Qabalah (Tree of Life).

It does not make sense we use:
East: YHVH
South: Adonai
West: Eheieh
North: Agla

YHVH: Tetragrammaton, which comprises of 4 elements. However, direction of East correspond to Air.
Adonai corresponds to Earth element, which is the direction of North
Eheieh corresponds to Air element, which is the direction of East.
Agala comprises of Gibor, which correspond to Fire element, direction of South.

To replace and rearrange the Divine names to correspond to Qabalah, doesn’t it make more sense to use?:

East: Eheieh
South: Agla
West: El
North: Adonai
