First you have to have the area you intend to use prepared, it has to be clean and as freed up as possible. You will have an altar facing at 221-225 degrees from due East (measure clockwise from East). On the altar you will have either one large fat candle (like from a mass) or 2 medium sized candles (again like a mass, get the idea?). You will need to have incense prepared, sticks will be fine. You can use a single stick of a hot/peppery incense or 5 of various scents, ie. Opium, Frankincense, Eucalyptus, Pepper/Fire, Lemon etc. You should pick those scents that you know and feel are appropriate for this type of ritual and feel comfortable with.
If possible burn some frankincense in the ritual area beforehand and sprinkle some salt around the perimeter of the area you will be using.
Ok...the time is about 06:30 and you are waiting for the proper time to begin, what should you do? Have a conversation with God, tell him how much you trust in him and his actions and judgment. Also ask him to deal justly with the person you intend to take action against.
Maybe this will explain what I mean....
"O Allah, have mercy on the soul of the one whose feet I intend to cover with dust this day"
06:54, time to start....
Walk into the area, you will be at the back of the area and facing East. Walk into the centre of the room, have the palms of your hands together at chest level as though you are going to dive in a pool or opening curtains.
Stretch your arms forward and bring your right foot forward as though you are entering through heavy curtains, as you do open your arms open and bring your left foot forward to meet your right.
Take a further step forward using both feet, you should be facing East still. Now do the Qabbalistic cross....
Say- Do
Thine is- Touch your forehead using your right hand
The kingdom- Touch your lower abdomen
The power- Touch your right shoulder
The glory- Touch your left shoulder
Forever and ever- Stretch out your arms, so you are a Y shape
Amen- Bring your arms back and cross them over your shoulders,right over left
For thou are powerful and eternal O Lord - Have your forearms and palms raised while your upper arms are kept vertical as though your are making an offering.
Now fall upon your knees and put the palms of your hands on the floor and place your forehead on the floor as well. Yes this is the way muslims pray and so did Jesus for that matter in the desert. You now sit up and pray to the God of Abraham aka Jehovah in a manner that you should have planned out. You may offer psalm or some other prayer, ask for his blessing in this venture.
You will want to have an idea of how much time you will want to pray to the East so you will be ready for Sealiah at 221-225 degrees. You wont have the option of having an alarm clock or stopwatch to work by, I never use one as I dont think its appropriate.
When youve decided its time to move, stand up and moving clockwise face the altar. Move towards it but leave enough room to do the sign of the Zelator (look it up yourself).
You can do the sign of the Zelator and then proceed to light the candle(s) (or if it is dark you can light the candles first - dont have lights on). When you light the candles you start with the right one and say 'Unto light is added light', then you use the now lit candle to light the left one. Next you light the incense, use the right candle to do so if you are in doubt on how to light them.
You are now ready to perform the rite, dont forget to have your talismans and other low magic aspects you intend to use on the altar.
Now you go through the ritual you have written out and planned, to finish you will extinguish the candles - first the left and then the right (a spoon can be used to do this, you can keep it under the altar/table. You cannot leave the altar at anytime during the ritual). As for the incense they can be left to burn out. You give a final salute (hitler style with your right hand/arm) as you should have done with your 'Hail and farewell's at the end of the ritual...I forgot to mention it before.
Now you take a backstep with your right foot followed by the left while at the same time 'closing the curtains' in essence reversing how you 'entered the curtains'. Turning clockwise to you face east, go forth to where you prayed before and give a final prayer (Lords Prayer should be fine if you dont have anything special in mind) and say whatever gratitudes you feel. When you are finished stand up, bow and exit the space moving clockwise to do so.
This is a wonderful post. Very educational, but I must say for the sake of it being said, that the Voodoo doll mentioned in this forum is not, in fact, a Voodoo doll, but a poppet, which is descended from European folk magic. This is still a great post for those who want to be really in depth and thorough tho, I've always preferred a simpler approach tho.
It's also okay for people who believe in God, or the supernatural. All those long posts have no interest for me. It seems to me that Leon has read a lot, and these ideas are not his own,merely what he has read about.I have also read a lot, but I wouldn't write about it on this forum, as though it was my own idea.Although he does give credit to the original author. But why bother? Just recommend the books!
Why are you giving the qabalistic cros in English? It loses all usefulness that way, hebrew is to be vibrated and contains much more sublime gematrial values.
Attah- Fore head
Malkuth- Breast (Or if you are like most magicians who don't just read books, the genitals)
Ve-Geburah (right shoulder)
ve-Gedulah (left shoulder)
Le Olahm, Amen (Le-Olahm, amen)
The visualisation is also key, a google search will suffice for anyone.
Where have you learned magick based around the qabalah?
It seems to be badly presented Golden Dawn material mixed with your own additions....like the English qabalistic cross...I also didn't read any mention of banishing or the LBRP.
Where did I learn it? From books I was able to access such as Abramelin, Godwins Cabbalistic Encyclopedia, from books I found in public libraries. And from those I picked bits and pieces and assembled them like a jigsaw puzzle through application, actually writing rituals and performing them.
LBPR or whatever....never did it because I never needed to.
I write rituals and perform them too, I have alo read many books and I am part of an order which teaches actual, spiritual, high magick.
The lbrp is perhap the most important ritual in the cirriculum of high magick, it is literally the first step of any practitioner and is the building block for other more complicated workings.
Therefore I shall leave this thread alone, by telling everyone to pick up a good text book on magick, before listening to the information presented on this thread.
I wrote a thread about the lbrp a week or so ago.i plan on writing a few more posts when I get time, people need to get the basic frameworks of the system ingrained within themselves before they branch out..... provide lessons for my coven members and those who ask, I am not accustomed to handing anything out to everyone.
Usimg ritual magicj for material gain should be a side benefit, spiritual enlughtenment and the expansion of awareness are the supreme goals of its methods.
