THE RITUAL MAGIC MANUAL A Complete Course in Practical Magic Introduction by Cris Monnastre Appendix by William Heidrick "This book is a must for anyone interested in personal and spiritual development. Israel Regardie frequently suggested that the techniques of ritual magic could serve as powerful psychotherapeutic tools, should they ever be discovered by mainstream psychology. This book makes many such techniques available as never before." - Cris Monnastre, Psychotherapist, Former student of Israel Regardie and author of the Introduction to the 5th Edition of Israel Regardie's "The Golden Dawn" "The Ritual Magic Manual: A Complete Course in Practical Magic" is a breathtaking and comprehensive ceremonial magic tour de force. Unquestionably, students of the Golden Dawn and the Thelemic traditions will welcome this massive work. Fundamental material is organized tightly for easy reference, and then ingeniously expanded to accommodate the magician's increasing levels of skill and understanding. Griffin's colorful and innovative treatment of the Enochian material deserves special attention and praise." - Lon Milo DuQuette, Author of "The Magick of Thelema" and "Angels, Demons, & Gods of the New Millennium" "A comprehensive guide to Practical Magic. The integration of new Enochian Magic proves that the Golden Dawn is not just an object of historical curiosity, but a living, growing, and evolving tradition." - Jean-Pascal Ruggiu, Imperator, Ahathoor Temple No. 7, Paris, France, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn@,Author of "Les Rituels magiques de l'ordre herme'tique de la Golden Dawn" and "Les Rituels &initiation de l'ordre hermitique de la Golden Dawn"

GOLDEN DAWN
Foreword I met David Griffin for the first time Mothers' Day weekend, 1992, in a Studio City, California, "nouvelle cuisine" cafe for breakfast. The synchronicity of that holiday made it a table for three and not just two, since Erich Neumann's The Great Mother, the beloved Isis, was in our midst from the first moment of our contact. When I walked into the empty neon lit dining room (hardly the ambiance of a British Museum reading room where Magicians long before us made such similar historical encounters) my first reaction was disappointment. There sat this man looking pitifully alone among a tangled architecture of twisted wire tables and chairs, tall but too thin in stature, a military haircut and the most hollow, vacant yet absorbing eyes that held the look of a zealot! My immediate resolve was to make this as painlessly brief a meeting as possible! Little did I know in those first seconds that those eyes were truly and undeniably capable of staring into and surviving the fires of the gods while not going blind, the eyes of magical genius and such enormous raw talent that only a holy fanaticism indeed could contain such sacred and hungry wantonness for the wildest, most unexplored and deepest of mysteries. He had written to me through a colleague: a post card from Cairo, Egypt, with a Beverly Hills, California, mailing address. The card was referred to me since I lived in Southern California. I sent him a pathetically hasty reply on a piece of yellow pad paper written in pencil. Since my introduction to the fifth edition of The Golden Da7un by Israel Reeardie had been vublished in 1986. I was used to receiving
The Iiitt~alMagic Munual cards and letters from all over the world from would-be and hopeful magicians interested in Initiation and training with me as I had been trained by Regardie. To that first meeting, I had only brought with me my copy of The Golden Dawn (autographed by Regardie years before) and Tabatha Cicero's N e w Gulden Da?on Xitunl Tarot, a modern tarot deck which accurately portrays the Tarot Trumps as described in the Golden Dawn Initiatory rituals. At random, David selected the High Priestess (Moon) and the Devil (Capricorn) cards from the deck (the Woman and the Serpent of Revelation) which presaged the theme of to the present date. After breakfast, we visour magical relatio~~ship ited Regardie's grave nearby and on the way I returned home to gather up Regardie's ritual wine cup and Enochian chess set which were just a few of the items of his magical paraphernalia he had given to me as a gift several years before. At the grave, David improvised a ritual invoking the energies of Daath that was, despite the hubris of such an endeavor, stunning in conception and execution. Having worked with the likes of a magical titan as Israel Regardie, very, very little impressed me at that phase of my magical career, but there on that sundripped grave lawn, I knew I had another true Zanoni in my presence with his makeshift turban of white silk embroidered with the Queen scale colors of the Tree of Life and a talisman he had made of rose leaves and 24 carat gold while a lone hawk blessed the beginning of our conjoint adventure by diving through an aquamarine sky overhead. The rose leaves and gold talisman of that day's meeting were the foretelling piece which prototypically announced his future exhaustive and elegant research into the Inner or Second Order work of the R.R. et A.C., the magical curriculum which immediately follows the Golden Dawn or Outer Order elemental Initiations. March 25, 1997, is the 15th anniversary of my resurrecting classical Golden Dawn Initiatory work in the United States through founding a Temple in Los Angeles, California, under Regardie's close direction. Additionally, June 26, 1997, was also the fifteenth anniversary of my receiving the Adeptus Minor (5=6) Grade from Israel Regardie in a Vault built with sainted patience by Chic Cicero in Columbus, Georgia. And so, in remembering these anniversary milestones in my personal magical career, it is an honor to be asked to introduce this important work, The Ritual Magic Manual: A Cornplete Course i n Practical Magic, which explores all facets of the R.R. et A.C. as not as yet fully accomplished heretofore. Having trained many magicians through the Outer Order process, I have repeatedly observed that many of them perceive attainment of the 5=6 Grade of Adeptus Minor as a conclusion in itself, resting on du-

bious laurels of success and not remembering the exhortation in the sacred Obligation of the 5=6 Grade Ritual (Yesod) where the Chief Adept states, "...I also undertake to work unassisted at the subjects prescribed for study in the various practical grades from Zelator Adeptus Minor to Adept Adeptus Minor, on pain of being degraded to that of Lord of the Paths of the Portal only." The hoped-for experience of growing into Tiphareth by advancing into 5=6 is attaining to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. But although Regardie states in The Tree Of L$e how individual and unpredictable such attainment may be, it is often a growing and developmental process rather than an isolated event (infrequently occurring during the 5=6 Initiation itself) for which this book can provide the first guide of its kind. Every Initiate who walks out of a Vault of the Adepti for the first time should be handed a copy of this book as a powerful prompt and practical, magical roadmap, a true grimoire to keep working toward that supreme experience of the Holy Guardian Angel which Regardie further states in The Tree of Life as "...the supreme object of all magical ritual ... in other words, the communion with the Higher Self. ...It brings with it new powers, new extensions of consciousness, and a new vision of life." The "Introduction" is an important and salient overview which assists the advanced as well as beginning Magician. It should not be overlooked in addressing the more complex material further on in the text. The author addresses and reminds us of the often neglected concept of "vibration" (so succinctly elucidated in the occult classic, The Kybalion, by Three Initiates). It additionally emphasizes the important consideration of psychotherapy as conjoint with magical practice (which is an idea Regardie espoused until his death). Common sense and "how to" reminders of not accidentally "de-charging" magical weapons, a discussion of the significant differences between channeling, guided fantasy, and Skrying in the Spirit Vision all help to remind the student to be wary of carelessness and self-delusion. The author also examines the important point of selecting the sidereal as opposed to tropical system for astrological mapping and includes elementary Qabalistic information and correspondences. Of particular and important academic note is that the author has addressed the "...numerous corruptions and misconceptions ..." of the various names in the frequently flawed extant published hierarchies and has corrected them. He also provides a believable argument for a rethinking and augmenting of former guidelines to Enochian pronunciation.
The Ritual Magic Manual
Foreword
The opening chapter on Basic Rituals is what adds to the "user friendliness" of this practical manual, for it affords the beginner (and reminds the experienced practitioner) of the necessary tools to begin building (or continue reinforcing) in the Sphere of Sensation (Aura) those symbols which produce gradual and imperceptible but undeniable and absolutely necessary change for legitimate and not just nominal, magical adeptship. This is change which impacts the student not only psychologically and emotionally but also physiologically where brain chemistry, hormonal activity, and central nervous system function all become more finely attuned and harmonious in their interrelation. One of the most frequently overlooked issues in magical training is that lovely and poetic phrase in the oath of the Adeptus Minor Grade that states, "I further promise and swear that with the Divine Permission I will, from this day forward, apply myself to the Great Work - which is, to purify and exalt my Spiritual Nature so that with the Divine Aid I may at length attain to be more than human ..." This means exactly and literally what it says! An Adept's body in terms of physiology, chemistry, structure, and function is not the same as the average man, or what Regardie referred to as "homo normalis." By attending (Tarot Trump #1 - The Magician) to "...symbol, ceremonial, and sacrament ...," the anabolic and catabolic activities of the body in their processes actually do (literally) purify and consecrate the Temple of the physical body to prepare it for contact with what Paul Foster Case refers to in The True Arrd Invisible Rosicrrician Order as "Contact with this True Rosicrucian Order, which is impossible without the necessary physical changes." So cast a scant eye on the Grade titles many socalled Adepts publicly (and tastelessly!) place behind their names as they are usually only nominal! Additionally, keep in mind that "purification and consecration" is also a psychological process which will expel the dross of the personality which can also result in the eruption of any variety of personal unconscious material (the academic and historic term is "complex") which is well illustrated in the symbolic diagram in the Golden Dawn system as "The Garden of Eden After the Fall." And finally, every single time any ritual is performed to the best of one's ability and experience, regardless of how halting or even fraught with the occasional error, a physical change(s) occurs in the practitioner's physiology. Of particular importance in this chapter's list of rituals are the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and the Middle Pillar technique. The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) is not un-
like a kind of daily magical "brushing of teeth" which one should be as devoted to as that same daily hygienic practice! In my experience, I have observed that daily work with the LBRP does not gain momentum until after about 90 days of faithful practice, particularly for beginners. Additionally, experienced practitioners frequently abandon this simple protective and deeply symbolic technique as elementary and unnecessary and experience the attendant, unsettling fallout of depression, oversensitivity to others' emotional atmospheres (particularly overall negativity and generalized depression or anxiety), odd experiences, or just plain "bad luck" in their day to day personal lives. Keep in mind that the LBRP is not only for protection of the Sphere of Sensation, but also assuredly sensitizes the physic centers of perception and attracts any variety of energy/thought forms on the Inner Planes for which the would-be Magician needs discernment, a healthy and fortified ego not easily given to inflation by the archetypes, and downright common sense with some modicum of balance and groundedness! The Middle Pillar technique is what Regardie had frequently called the "sine qua non" of Magic, an absolute and nonnegotiable necessity for Magical success. The Middle Pillar not only enhances relaxation and produces a generalized sense of balance and well being, but also slowly but assuredly builds into the Sphere of Sensation those vital (and "real") "spiritual organs" which makes communication with the inner planes and reception of the Universal Energy (Prana, Orgone, LVX) possible and appreciable. A well done Middle Pillar should take approximately 30 minutes to perform (if not longer), and Regardie could not stress enough the importance of attending particularly to the relaxation and deep breathing processes in preparation for it. He ascribed to Wilhelm Reich's theory of body character armor which in part is caused by chronic tension and unconscious muscle rigidity, thus preventing the full flow of the Universal Energy. For safety, the student should work with only white light as a visualization aid in its performance for considerable time, always opening and closing with a LBRP. Unless the practitioner works with the Middle Pillar technique daily and patiently, the rest of magical "work" is only personal theater, so much occult and narcissistic claptrap and frankly a pure and unutterable, total waste of time! Knowing all the names of the Qabalistic Angels on the head of any variety of Magical pin will only develop one into absolutely nothing more than that kind of insufferable anal retentive bore who abounds in all occult circles and unfortunately can only rhapsodize on meaningless minutiae. There is no other way

The Ritual Magic Mantial
Foreword
toward the heights than through discipline and a willingness to actually change the body, mind, and psyche into the most fit of vehicles for this stunning and Great Work. There are no shortcuts, there is no drug, there is no positive and glamorized parental transference which will d o more than eventually turn into a pillar of salt like Lot's wife! Regardie's only criticisms of my personal magical process (and biting criticisms they were) were when I was lax in the regular and disciplined performance of the Middle Pillar. The student is further referred to Regardie's The One Year Mantlal. Anyone who can go through a year of these exercises and come out still standing will be way ahead of the magical game and deserve my personal congratulations for a job exceedingly well done in taking self in hand and to task! Of particular importance is the jewel of the chapter entitled "Unity, All is God." Its humble and even homespun writing style shows the purest distillation of Regardie's thinking in his later years. All of the philosophical fundamentals of Magic are in this chapter. There is nothing else! Everything else is only ornament. This simple chapter alone deserves rereading time and time again at different stages in one's magical career. The bulk of David Griffin's book presents rituals for Elemental, Planetary, Zodiacal, Sephirotic, and Talismanic Magic. These are written in a cogent style with clear instructions and numerous accompanying diagrams. The manual format allows great ease for the practitioner to immediately work with the ritual of his/her choice without having to look u p appropriate names and symbolic designations in complicated lists of correspondences. No other book so clearly combines the flashing colors with the assumption of god forms. Additionally, there is a unique unifying of Enochian, Planetary, and Zodiacal material while interpreting, explaining, and integrating "The Book of the Concourse of Forces." Chapter seven addresses demonic evocation, a controversial topic all too frequently sensationalized or treated ignorantly. The author's concise and careful comments include all the appropriate psychological and technical cautions while adding that dimension of demonic evocation as interpreted through the lens of modern psychology. This writer and Regardie had countless discussions regarding the role psychotherapy and psychological theory (of varying modalities) played in Magic. In Regardie's Middle Pillar, in 1938, he wrote, "These ideas are mentioned not because a systematic union of Magic and Psychology will be here presented, but in the hope that this effort will spur some psychologist acquainted with magical and mystical techniques to at-
tempt such a task. Whoever does succeed in welding the two indissolubly together, to him mankind will ever be grateful." Regardie was indeed a prophet of his day, for nearly 60 years later, any variety of schools of psychological thought, particularly Jung's Analytical psychology, have not been afraid to attempt swimming in the unknown and deep waters of the meaning of the unconscious. The author's elucidation of demonic evocation as bridged with psychological theory is courageous and decidedly daring but not foolhardy. And many a consulting room around the world steeped in the quagmire of fossilized thinking and terribly bereft of specific and effective technique would do well to at least consider how magical techniques such as these could enhance the patient's experience of life and integration of personality. However, the risk of identification with the archetypes of the unconscious always portends strong, uncontrolled possibilities of ego inflation, and enormous inner and outer destruction, so all caution and care is a necessary ingredient for even the most ambitious explorers of interiority! Far too little serious academic work has been done in these remote and primitive areas of understanding the psyche, and the field is wide open for study like the truly seductive and immeasurable inner space it actually is. But let the Magician beware lest untrained enthusiasm and unskilled illusions of invincibility maximize its dangers. This writer would suggest leaving this portion of study strictly alone for many years until balance, individual fulfillment, overall health, and stability manifest in the outer life to reflect the same within. Even then, the Magician needs two strong companion guides along this narrow road: a mature and experienced psychotherapist or analyst with some respect and open mindedness for the Magical Arts as well as a seasoned Magician whose own life exemplifies sanity, compassion, and clarity of thought. Regarding this topic, I am reminded of a journal entry dated August 4, 1983. It was the evening before Regardie and I were to leave for Figi, New Zealand, and Australia. We had talked well into the night specifically picking apart a study of pathology as related to Jungian analysis and how the complexes compared with the medieval forms of entities used in evocation. Regardie commented, "Now there is a correspondence between the two, and few people there are that can figure that one out! Can't get beyond their prejudices and fears of what's in the slime and the mud of the human psyche! But don't identify with the complexes! It's your death! Instead, relate to them." In this chapter, the author is one of those few who could "figure that one out"!

The Ritual Magic Manual
David Griffin has achieved a masterpiece in this practical compendium of the Magician's Art, with its strong links to sound psychological thinking. Its usable format and tireless devotion to painstaking and accurate research and detail set it apart as an occult classic that many will refer to in the future as a beacon of clear-sightedness in an otherwise very murky field. The reader has only to open its pages to quickly wander through its garden of glittering delights and tempting promises.

How to Use this Book This book comprises a complete course in Ritual Magic, as relevant to the beginner as it is to the accomplished Magician. The Novice as well as the Adept will herein find everything that he or she needs to practice Magic immediately as well as to improve and expand his or her magical training. The present book makes the techniques of Ritual Magic more accessible to the general public than ever before. More than a theoretical work on Magic, this is a hands-on manual for Magical practice. The Rituals in this book integrate and present many disparate and highly interesting aspects of Ceremonial Magic, such as the correct use of Flashing Colors, Geometrical Figures, and the Assumption of God Forms. The student should begin with this introduction then read the introduction to each new chapter or section as he or she comes across it. The introductions frequently contain information necessary for the successful performance of the Rituals in each subsequent chapter or section. Before performing any Rituals, the student should thoroughly familiarize him or herself with the Pronunciation Symbols given at the beginning of Chapter One. These symbols appear in pronunciation guidelines throughout the book and provide the student with precise pronunciation information. The student should then learn the Rites and Rituals and perform

them in the order in which they appear. This is important for several reasons. First, the Rituals in the book appear so that the independent student will experience the Energies of the Magical Forces in the same order that they manifest during Initiation into the Rosicrucian Magical Tradition. Furthermore, the Rituals in the main body of the book frequently refer to Basic Rituals found in Chapter One. In other words, success in later Rituals depends on skills learned in earlier chapters.

Vibration and the Nature of Ceremonial Magic Numerous Spiritual Traditions around the world have stressed the importance of repetition, frequency, and vibration in Spiritual Discipline. Eastern Mystics have long understood the power of sound. One of the most important aspects of all meditative techniques is the proper use of special sounds or Mantras, repeated over and over by the meditating Mystic. Science as well has demonstrated that from a certain point of view everything may be considered as vibrating waves. Ceremonial Magic combines various distinct kinds of vibration. The Magician includes the vibration of physical movement through tracing geometrical figures, symbols, or sigils in the air. Simultaneously, he or she intones certain names of God, Archangels, or Angels, including thereby the vibration of sound. At the same time, the Magician visualizes the traced figure, symbol, or sigil in his or her mind's eye, thus including mental imagery. Furthermore, he or she visualizes these images in particular colors, including the vibration of color as well. Finally, the special juxtaposition of Flashing (directly complementary) Colors create an even more potent vibration. This simultaneous combination of numerous types of vibration in a single act has an enormous creative power, especially on the Inner Planes. Magic and Psychotherapy Israel Regardie believed that every Magician should undergo psychotherapy simultaneously with Initiation. For the student working outside of an Initiatic Order, psychotherapy is highly recommendable for a variety of reasons. Any Spiritual Discipline, practiced with enough discipline and persistence, will eventually bring forth powerful unconscious contents into consciousness. In the case of Ceremonial Magic, there exists a particular danger of ego inflation or in some cases even megalomania. Furthermore, whereas the solitary practitioner of Ceremonial Magic may potentially accomplish the magical aspect of
23
Journal Keeping Every serious student of Magic should begin to keep a journal on a daily basis. Record any Magical Work, dreams, and visions, as well as the - mundane events of everyday life. Entries involving Magical Work should describe any Rituals performed, the Zodiacal2 location of the Sun and Moon, as well as a brief description of any feelings, intuitions, and observations during and following the Ritual. There are many important aspects about ourselves and our magical progress discernible only in retrospect and numerous fundamental insights to gain during the process of reflection itself. If a Magician keeps a detailed journal, he or she eventually begins to discover subtle patterns of relationships underlying apparently random events of daily life. Magical Implements Every serious student and practitioner of Magic will eventually wish to craft and consecrate his or her own Magical Implements and craft the finest ones that he or she can. There is no need to describe the crafting and consecration of the Magical Implements of the Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucian Magical Tradition as there are already good books on the subject in print.3 The instructions given in the texts of the Rituals in the present book always mention the appropriate Magical Implements to make instructions clearer for advanced Magicians and Rosicrucian Adepts. Nonetheless, with the exception of Demonic Evocation, each Ritual in this book may be performed with nothing more than the Magician's forefinger, a few items found in any kitchen cupboard, and the Enochian Tablets included in this book. Each Invocation Ritual contains a synopsis that refers to altar cloths and candles in corresponding colors, scents, and so forth. These items help to create an environment that facilitates the attainment of an altered state of consciousness in the Magician in harmony with the Ritual. Despite their usefulness, however, such environmental props should not be considered as essential to the success of a Ritual. Most Adepts and experienced Magicians are well aware of the

Introduction
beauty and power added to Rituals by creating a suitable environment as well as by using well constructed and properly consecrated Magical Implements. Nonetheless, there is absolutely nothing that can replace the actual performance of Ceremonial Magic. A disciplined student who faithfully performs the Rituals every day armed with nothing more than an index finger will eventually make more magical progress than a highly skilled craftsman with the finest Implements who is lacking in discipline for daily Ritual Work. For those students who have already crafted and consecrated Magical Implements, the texts of the Rituals appear in such a fashion as to prevent their accidental desecration. The consecration of any Magical Implement or Talisman involves its charging with Energy through Ritual Invocation. To avoid accidentally discharging this Force, protect the object by wrapping it in silk or linen of the appropriate color when not in use. Never allow anyone other than the Magician who charged them to handle these objects, and always put them away before banishing, since Banishing Rituals serve to send away Forces attracted through Invocation. For the aforementioned reasons, the texts of the Iiituals in this book include reference to two separate Banishing Daggers; one Planetary and one Elemental.J The experienced Magician will have wondered with which Magical Force to consecrate the Banishing Dagger and how to avoid banishing its Charge. The best answer is to consecrate and use separate Elemental and Planetary Banishing Daggers. Consecrate the Elemental Banishing Dagger using Hexagrams with the Force of Gevurah, and use it to banish Pentagrams. Consecrate the Planetary Banishing Dagger using Pentagrams with the Force of Elemental Spirit, and use it to banish hexagram^.^ The beginning student may safely ignore this discussion, and banish either with an unconsecrated Dagger, or simply use his or her index finger.
tices are of questionable spiritual value, except in stimulating the imaginative faculties, and are not Skrying in the Spirit Vision. Skrying in the Spirit Vision has several distinguishing features despite certain commonalities with other forms of visionary experience. First, unlike channeling or spontaneous imagery, specific Forces are ceremonially invoked prior to skrying. Furthermore, the Enochian Tablets provide detailed maps of the Inner Planes. Unlike channeling or spontaneous imagery, the Magician skries to the particular Plane of specifically invoked Forces. Finally, the Magician tests each aspect of the visions. It is, after all, for good reason that the Astral Plane is called the realm of illusion as bookshelves filled with channeled material all too readily attest. After invoking the Force of the desired Plane through Ritual Invocation, the Magician awakens his or her imaginative and visionary faculties by briefly addressing each of the five senses before the mind's eye. Such guided fantasy may be as simple as imagining oneself lying on a beach (or in any other landscape), hearing the sound of the waves, feeling the warmth of the sun, seeing the palm trees, and smelling the scent of food being prepared nearby making one's mouth water. Most Pathworking books unfortunately never progress beyond this phase. Immediately following the awakening of the imaginative faculties, Skrying in the Spirit Vision frequently makes use of symbolical devices like specially colored, truncated pyramids. Such devices serve as symbolical gateways before the mind's eye as a means of spiritually entering into the Plane of the invoked Force. For most of the Rituals contained in this present volume, the Seals located at the top of each Enochian Tablet will serve this purpose quite satisfactorily. Having invoked the Force through Ritual, awakened the imaginative faculties, and symbolically entered the Plane of the Force, a spontaneous vision then unfolds before the Spirit Vision of the Magician. This phase of spontaneity is of enormous spiritual value and the essence of Skrying. With practice, a skilled Skryer develops the ability to suspend the rational faculties, immersing him-.or herself completely in an unfolding inner drama and landscape yet skillfully testing every aspect of the apparition. Once the vision ends, the student should immediately record the experience. Using paint, colored markers, pens, or pencils the Magician should endeavor to briefly sketch or paint important imagery. In preparing such sketches, ignore artistic quality and focus on objectifying and recording any encountered symbols or imagery. Follow this by writing a detailed account of the experience before concluding the Rit-

Channeling, Guided Fantasy, and Skrying in the Spirit Vision Skrying in the Spirit Vision is not the same thing as channeling, guided fantasy, guided meditation, nor even Pathworking as popularly understood. Unfortunately, there are numerous books of dubious quality currently in print that attempt to establish Pathworking or Enochian Orthodoxies, prescribing what one should see or experience. Such prac-

ual and banishing. Describe the surroundings, details of landscapes, and so forth, as well as any information gathered about the nature of the Plane or its inhabitants. Attempt to describe how this Plane operates in the physical world, including any plants, animals, minerals, and so forth, which might correspond to the nature of the Plane. Israel Regardie published several written Skrying records of early Rosicrucian Adepts. Although this material should not be consulted as a guide to what one "should" experience while Skrying, it is nonetheless useful as an example of how to keep good records6 The Magician should later attempt to interpret and analyze the imagery and events of the vision. Since the language of the unconscious and of the Inner Planes tends toward that of exaggeration and inflation, the student should attempt to separate the wheat from the chaff. Take nothing at face value lest one fall into ego-inflation and folly. Carefully analyze the symbols of the vision as though they were metaphors of a poem rather than literal like a work of prose. The Magician should not permit anyone other than him or herself to interpret this material, however, as this inevitably brings extraneous and irrelevant material into the interpretation. Testing Visions While Skrying The following rules for testing the veracity of visions derive from R. R. et A. C. Flying Rolls XI and XXV:7 1. Any entities encountered while skrying should immediately be tested as to their true natures. a . If the vision is that of an Elemental or Subelemental Plane, test any entities by giving the Grade Sign or Signs that correspond with the Plane in question.$ b. In all cases, the Magician may use the Neophyte (that is, the Sign of the Enterer and the Sign of Silence) and the LVX Signs. The LVX Signs serve as a particularly good, all purpose test. They will usually dispel any illusion. An entity who can return these Signs is usually trustworthy. c. As a further test, Divine or Angelic Names which correspond to the particular Plane of the vision should be vibrated. The texts of all Invocation Rituals in the present book give these Names. 2.

Trace a Kaph to banish intrusive fantasies about the future. f: Mars (Peh). Trace a Peh to deal with aggressive entities. If one is being challenged in an aggressive fashion in a vision, tracing a Peh should calm things down. 7 Sun (Resh). Trace a Resh to overcome ego inflation. When the information one is receiving in a vision seems exaggerated or inflated, tracing a Resh will help to ground the information and balance the interaction. 1 Venus (Daleth). Trace a Daleth to banish the intrusion of erotic fantasies as well as interference arising from one's emotions. 2 Mercury (Beth). Trace a Beth to test the truth of statements made by an entity, to banish deceitfulness, and to eliminate any intrusive thoughts that may interrupt the vision. 3. Moon (Gimel).Trace a Gimel to refocus a vision. 3. Ordinarily, whenever a vision is interrupted the Skryer should trace the appropriate letter to banish the interruption, then trace a Gimel to refocus the vision before proceeding. Astrology and the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac Before the performance of any Ritual of Astrological (that is, Planetary or Zodiacal) Magic, an Astrological Chart should ideally be cast for the time and the place of the Working. Fortunately for those Magicians with access to a computer, it has become much faster and easier in recent years to cast precise Astrological Charts. A wide array of excellent astrological software now enables Magicians to perform tasks with the click of a mouse that once required hours of painstaking calculations to complete? Most interpretive astrologers employ the Tropical Zodiac for Chart calculations and interpretations. The Tropical Zodiac places the beginning, or cusp, of the Zodiacal Sign Aries at the position where the Ecliptic (the path followed by the Sun viewed from the Earth's perspective) intersects the Equator at the time of the Vernal Equinox. This location shifts very slightly from year to year relevant to the fixed stars, however. Due to this phenomenon, known as the Precession of the 10 Edition, from Time Cycles Research, IS one such software applicahon

Introduction
Equinoxes, the Tropical Zodiac no longer corresponds to the stellar constellations from which the Zodiacal Signs derive their names. In Astrological Magic, the Magician works with the Energies of the Planets and of the Stars as they physically exist. When casting Charts for Magical Operations, therefore, the R. R. et A. C. has traditionally employed a Sidereal rather than a Tropical Zodiac. In the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac, the Signs correspond closely to the stellar constellations from which they derive their names. The Signs and constellations realign by placing the beginning, or cusp, of the Zodiacal Sign Leo at the location of the fixed star Regulus. A great deal of Sidereal Astrology research during the last hundred years, however, strongly suggests that the most historically correct Zodiac (that is, the one most closely corresponding to the system once used in ancient Mesopotamia) is the Fagan-Bradley Sidereal Zodiac, which places the fixed star Regulus not on the cusp, but at five degrees, six seconds Leo. Although the latter appears to be more historically accurate, Rosicrucian Magic integrated significant material into the System based on Regulus' location on the cusp of Leo (for example, the Tree of Life in a Solid Sphere and the attribution of the Tarot to the heavens). It is therefore advisable to employ the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac when casting Charts for Rituals of Astrological Magic. Those Magicians wishing to use the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac should first cast Charts using the Fagan-Bradley Zodiac, then subtract five degrees and six seconds from Fagan-Bradley positions.
The Magical Forces attributed to the Sephiroth and to the Paths on the Qabalistic Tree of Life comprise the heart of the Rosicrucian System of Ceremonial Magic. These Forces are Sephirothic, Elemental, and Astrological in nature. The Sepher Yetzirah, an important Hebrew mystical text, attributes the Elemental, Planetary, and Zodiacal Forces to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and to the Tree of Life according to a different arrangement than does the Western Esoteric Tradition.' Nonetheless, the Tree of Life represents a view of the universe combining Greek Neoplatonic thought, Hebrew mysticism, Astrology, Alchemy, and astronomical observations from ancient Sumeria and Babylon. The notion of the Elements derives from the Neoplatonists. The Sumerians and Babylonians observed the seven Traditional Planets as luminaries wandering through the starry heavens against the backdrop of the constellations attributed to the Signs of the Zodiac. Thus ascending the Tree of Life is analogous to reaching out from the Earth through the Planets to the Stars.

The Ritual Magic Manuul
In examining the Tree of Life, we see Malkuth, the lowest of the Sephiroth, divided into four sections denoting the Elements. Indeed Malkuth corresponds to the realm of the Elements, which is the realm of physical reality. In Rosicrucian Magic, each of the Elements corresponds to the angles of a Pentagram as follows.
Rather than the usual Elemental Glyphs, the Glyphs for the Kerubic (or Fixed) Zodiacal Signs represent the Elements when traced inside Pentagrams traced in Ceremonial Magic. These Signs correspond to the four Kerubs seen in the vision of the Prophet Ezekial. Leo corresponds to the lion and to the Element of Fire, Scorpio to the eagle and to the Element of Water, Aquarius corresponds to the man and to the Element of Air, and Taurus to the ox and the Element of Earth. Further, Rosicrucian Elemental Magic uses the Glyph of the eagle instead of the regular Glyph for Scorpio. This is because two images are traditionally associated with Scorpio; the serpent and the eagle. Whereas the former, according to tradition, represents the evil and destructive energies of Scorpio, the latter represents the sublimated and positive energies thereof. The attribution of the Elements to the angles of the Pentagram depicts Spirit above, presiding over the remaining Elements, which correspond to the remaining angles in the same fashion in which they appear in the various quadrants of the Enochian Elemental Tablets. These quadrants of the Enochian Elemental Tablets embody the Energies of the Sub Elements. For example, on the Enochian Fire Tablet the quadrants represent the Sub Elements; Fire of Fire, Water of Fire, Air of Fire, and Earth of Fire. The Sub Element, Spirit of Fire, is represented by the white colored lines in the center of the Tablet. This distribution is depicted in simplified fashion in the following diagram, which is useful in understanding the arangement of the Sub Elements on each of the Enochian Elemental Tablets.'!
" The Enochian Elemental Tablets are mcluded as color ~llustratlons~nt h ~ book s
Examining the Tree of Life illustration again, we notice six Sephiroth above Malkuth that together form the shape of a Hexagram. Tradition considers Daath at the uppermost angle of this Hexagram as a "Non-Sephirah" (indicated with a dotted line in the Tree of Life diagram). In Rosicrucian Magic, the seven Traditional Planets correspond with the angles and the center of a Hexagram as follows, in the same pattern as they appear on the Sephiroth and on the Tree of Life. Saturn, although formally attributed to the Sephirah of Binah, within this framework nonetheless occupies the position of Daath.
Thus it becomes clear that the attributions of the Elements and Planets to the angles of the Pentagram and the Hexagram are far from random. All the Invoking and Banishing Rituals in this book illustrate the correct use of Pentagrams and Hexagrams in each instance. Nonetheless, an understanding of the attributions of their angles shall assist the student to comprehend the structure underlying the Rituals. Two additional rules will further assist in this regard. When working with Elemental Forces, invoke by tracing the Pentagram toward the angle attributed to the Element in question, and banish away from the same angle. When working with Planetary Forces, begin to trace the Hexagram from the angle attributed to the Planet in question followed by a second Triangle traced from the angle directly opposite the first one. Always trace Hexagrams for Invocation in a clockwise direction and counter clockwise to banish. One of the seven Traditional Planets rules each Zodiacal Sign. Additionally, each Sign has an Elemental Reference known as its Elemen-
Introductioiz
The Ritual Magic Manual tal Triplicity. Invoke and banish Zodiacal Forces, therefore, using either Hexagrams or Pentagrams according either to the Planetary Rulership or the Elemental Triplicity of the Sign.I2 Finally, looking at the Tree of Life illustration yet again, we notice three additional Sephiroth above the six that form a Hexagram. These are known as known as the Supernal Sephiroth, unto which correspond the Wheel of the Zodiac and the three Alchemical Forces of Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury. Invoke and banish Sephirothic Forces with Hexagrams like Planetary Forces, beginning from the angle of the Planet associated with each Sephirah. Invoke and banish the Supernal Sephiroth, i.e., Kether, Chokmah, and Binah, from the uppermost, Saturn angle of the Hexagram. Invoke and banish Malkuth from the lowermost, Lunar angle. Color Scales and Flashing Colors Rosicrucian Magic traditionally employs four Color Scales13 that correspond to the four Qabalistic Worlds, the Suits of the Tarot, the Elements, and the letters of the name Jl?' as follows: Color Scale

The colors attributed to the Elemental, Planetary, Zodiacal, and Sephirothic Forces represented on the Tree of Life and used in Ceremonial Magic combine the first two scales of color.14 The colors of the Paths on the Tree and the corresponding Forces are in the masculine, active, or King's Scale, since the Paths represent Energy in motion between the Sephiroth. The colors of the Sephiroth and the corresponding Forces are in the feminine, passive, or Queen's Scale, since the Sephiroth represent contained Energy at rest. Rosicrucian Magic makes special use of complementary colors. Such colors, like red and green, cause an optical impression that appears to flash when placed together in juxtaposition. Such "Flashing Colors" have great power to attract the corresponding Magical Forces. The " The

Rituals, Talismans, and Enochian Tablets in this book all make extensive use the power of Flashing Colors. Scholarly Considerations Since Israel Regardie first published the Golden Dawn material in 1937, an unfortunate tendency has developed in books on Ceremonial Magic to uncritically rely on the Hierarchies of Divine Names, Archangels, Angels, Intelligences, Spirits, and Demons as published by Iicgardie. New research conducted in preparing this book has located ~)rc,-(;oldenDawn sources for nearly each of these Hierarchies. In the ~'rocc~ss, n ~ ~ m e r o ucorruptions s and misconceptions published by Re);,~r.clic, h,~vebeen either corrected or eliminated. Documentation pro\ , i c l ( * ~ i in footnotes, introductions, and appendices shall hopefully enc~dditionalresearch in this arena.15 ~.our,~gc. 'l'he most reliable Names within the Hebrew Hierarchies in this book are those which include Hebrew vowel pointation. In such instances, pre-Golden Dawn sources were located in either Biblical or Rabbinical literature that included vowel pointation. The inclusion of pointation in these Names wherever they appear in the present book provides the scholar of Magic with information at a glance regarding the degree of reliability of Names from Hebrew Hierarchies. Furthermore, a native-speaking Professor of Hebrew collaborated in correcting all Hebrew guidelines given throughout this book. Another unfortunate and prevalent tendency in the Western Esoteric Community has been the unreflective and dogmatic application of rules set forth by S. L. MacGregor Mathers and W. Wynn Wescott concerning Enochian pronunciation. These rules can at times be quite useful phonetically, especially with names drawn from Enochian Tablets that otherwise would be impossible to pronounce. However, when rigidly applied to the Enochian Calls, these rules result in endless strings of extraneous syllables that destroy the intent and beauty of the Angelical language. For example, one recent book on the Golden Dawn transliterated the word "Ozongon" from an Enochian Call as "Ohzoad-oh-noo-goh-noo." In recognition of this problem, all Enochian Calls, Names, and so forth, in the present work have been retransliterated from original Enochian manuscripts. The methodology of this new transliteration includes pronunciation information given by John Dee in the manuscripts

themselves in addition to the Mathers-Wescott rules. Appendix I, "The Enochian Calls" analyzes this problem in depth and explains the complete methodology used in the new transliteration.
CHAPTER ONE
The Vault of the Adepti The Vault of the Adepti is a highly charged magical chamber used for Ritual by the R. R. et A. C. (the Rosicrucian Order beyond the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn). Its symbolism is that of the burial place of Christian Rosenkreutz (Frater C. R. C.), the founder of the Rosicrucian Order. Most of the Rituals in this book may be adapted for use inside a Vault of the Adepti. Under these unusual circumstances, however, certain traditional rules of the Order must be observed. According to tradition, an Adept should never banish, reverse circumamubulate, nor to use any form of Enochian Magic inside a Vault. Therefore the Adept should carefully modify any Ritual to omit all banishing, reverse circumambulation, Enochian Calls, and names of Enochian Entities when working inside a Vault of the Adepti. This need not concern the average Magician, since only Rosicrucian Adepts have access to such a Vault. Such Adepts, however, considering their years of training, should find it easy to adapt the Rituals of this book for use inside a Vault.

Pronunciation Symbols The student should thoroughly familiarize him or herself with the pronunciation symbols given below. Although the symbols are unique to this book, they appear in pronunciation guidelines in every Ritual and provide the student with more precise pronunciation information than has ever been available before in a book on Ceremonial Magic. The average student should require no more than ten or fifteen minutes to become familiar with these unique symbols. Due to the frequent use in Magic of foreign, Enochian, and unfamiliar words, the pronunciation guidlelines given in the text of the Rituals are quite helpful when performing them. In a few instances where sounds have no exact English equivalents, examples are given from other languages. For English speakers unable to pronounce these sounds correctly, their closest English equivalents should be employed until the pronunciation of the correct sounds are learned.

Shortened Vowels In Hebrew, there exist certain half-vowels that are shortened versions of usual Hebrew vowel sounds. These Hebrew half-vowels are indicated in transliteratlons in this book underlined as follows, and should be vibrated only briefly. Although the distinction between regular and shortened vowels is nearly never used in contemporary, spoken Hebrew, it is nonetheless interesting in Magic due to the extended fashion in which Names are vibrated. When vibrating Names containing shortened Hebrew vowels (underlined in the pronunciation guidelines), vibrate these vowel sounds only half the length of time as other vowels, like half-notes in music.

Grade Signs
Use the Sign of Silence, also known as the Protecting Sign or the Sign of Harparcrates, for protection against any attack or to stop or seal the motion of Magical Energy. When projected with the Sign of the Enterer, Magical Current tends to rebound upon the Operator through a reflux wave. The Sign of Silence prevents this rebounding of Energy on the Inner Planes. Use the Sign of Silence, therefore, following the Sign of the Enterer to confine a Force during the Consecration of Talismans in Practical Magic. Use it likewise after the tracing of Banishing Pentagrams or Hexagrams in Ceremonial Magic. Do not use it following the Sign of the Enterer during Ceremonial Invocation, since it is desirable for invoked Forces to flood back through the Invoking Pentagrams or Hexagrams, riding the reflux wave into the Magic Circle. To perform the Sign of Silence, make a fist with your left hand and extend your left forefinger. Bring your left hand up to your mouth and touch the center of your lips with your left forefinger. When performed following in the Sign of the Enterer, bring your left foot back parallel with your shoulders and, in all cases, stamp once forcefully with your left foot. Visualize simultaneously that a watery vapor encircles and encloses you.
Signs of the Neophyte Grade The Signs of the Neophyte Grade are the Sign of the Enterer and the Sign of Silence. Use the Sign of the Enterer, also known as the Sign of Horus or the Attacking Sign, primarily to project Magical Energy. Use it in the charging of Pentagrams and Hexagrams in Ceremonial Magic and to charge Talismans in Practical Magic. To perform the sign of the Enterer, stand with your feet parallel about shoulders width apart. Visualize a star shining just above your head about the size of a baseball. Inhale silently, and visualize a shaft of white Light coming down through your body from the star above you to a second star beneath your feet. As you inhale, draw down the light and raise your elbows upward and outward, parallel with your shoulders. Hold your hands flat beside your neck, palms downward, fingers extended, pointing forwards. Suddenly and forcefully, step forward with your left foot, thrust your hands directly forward, and lower your head between your arms, eyes forward. As you do so, exhale silently, visualize the Light rising back up through your body, and project it out through your fingertips.

Thus within the letters IRNI lie concealed the letters IAO and LVX, which may also be found upon the rays of the angles of the Rose Cross Lamen. The name IAO was considered by the Gnostics to be the Supreme Name of God. Its letters further allude to Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury in Alchemy and to an even more recondite secret symbolized by the relationship between Isis, Apophis, and Osiris.

Analysis of the Key Word lntroduction This Rite centers around the letters INRI ('-I;'), which tradition says were written upon the cross of Jesus Christ as an abbreviation for Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. There are, however, numerous other levels of occult meaning regarding these four letters UI the Rosicrucian Magical Tradition. One of these is a Hermetic secret alluded to by the Latin phrase "Igne Natura Renovatur Integra" which means "By fire, nature is perfectly renewed." These four letters additionally adorn the rays of the angles of the Rose Cross Lamen worn by Adepts of the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis. A deeper interpretation lies occulted behind the attributions of the Hebrew letters and the Magical Forces to the Paths on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The Path attributed to the Hebrew letter ' is attributed to the Zodiacal Sign Virgo as well, that of ; to Scorpio, and 1 to the Sun. There exist further magical associations between the Sign Virgo with the Egyptian Goddess Isis, Scorpio with Apophis, and the Sun with Osiris. When the first letter is taken from the Names of each of these Gods, the name "IAO" [e-S-01 is formed. Additionally due to the Signs associated with Isis, Apophis, and Osiris, they form the letters "LVX" [Iuks].

Rose Cross Ritual Introduction The Rose Cross Ritual has a rather different effect than the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. It is known primarily for its calming, soothii~g,and protective qualities. Furthermore, it has been claimed by Regardie and other authorities that this Ritual does not light up the Inner Planes. Certainly, this is the case in the form which this Ritual embodies below, as it separates the different forms of vibration (that is, sound, movement, and mental imagery). Therefore, do not visualize anything while tracing the figures or projecting through them during this Ritual. Furthermore, do not vibrate Names simultaneously with movements or the tracing of lineal figures. Instead, separate each event. This Ritual stands in a certain fashion, therefore, in a class all of its own. The stage directions, although of necessity somewhat complex, are nonetheless clear. Except where otherwise specifically directed by Ritual instructions, you should always move clockwise around the Temple (as in circumambulation). Ritual 1. Stand West of the Altar facing East. 2 . Perform the Rite of the Qabalistic Cross (Optional). 3. Light a stick or cone of incense. Go to the Southeast corner of the room. Do not visualize anything while tracing the figures or projecting through them during this Ritual.

Assumption and Divestment of God Forms Introduction The Assumption of God Forms is an extremely potent adjunct to Invocation. By assuming the Form of a corresponding God or Divine Image, the Magician links personal consciousness with an aspect of his or her Higher Self (Divine Genius) harmonious with the nature of the invoked Forces. The invocation is thereby transformed. The summons no longer arises merely from the personal will and Ego of the magician. Instead, the God Form irresistibly compels the Forces to manifest with the power of a Divine Mandate. The timely divestment of all God Forms assumed during a Rttual is as important as is the proper banishing of the invoked Forces. Maintaining a sound and healthy Ego is as essential to a magician as is the ability to exalt one's consciousness. If all assumed God Forms are not properly divested prior to banishing, there is a serious risk of psychological inflation or even of megalomania developing over time.
Assumption of God Forms
1. Study carefully a picture or drawing of the God. Notice all details of appearance, clothing, and so forth. Familiarize yourself with the attributions of the God. Take note of the color, as well as the Flashing (complementary) Color which corresponds to the Force to be invoked. These colors are given in the text of the Rituals. 2. Close your eyes. In your mind's eye, build up the image of the God in front of you. It should be colossal and towering in stature. Clothe the God Form in the color appropriate to the Force you are invoking highlighted with the flashing (complementary) color. Build up all the details of the God's appearance.
Basic Rituals 3. Give the Sign of the Enterer and, taking one step forward, enter the God Form. 4. Assume the God Form completely. Vibrate the Name of the God several times while you visualize the God Form enveloping your Sphere of Sensation (Aura). Identify yourself with the God. Take your time. Merge with the God, uniting your consciousness with the co~~sciousness of the Divinity. As completely as possible, imagine yourself becoming the God.
Divestment of God Forms 1. Close your eyes. In your mind's eye, reconnect for a few moments with the God Form which you have previously assumed. Build up the Image of the Divinity again completely enveloping your Sphere of Sensation (Aura). Notice all of the details, colors, and so forth, of the God Form. 2 . Take one step backwards stepping out of the Image. As you do so, disidentify yourself from the God Form, separating yourself from the Image completely. 3. Give the Sign of Silence, and remain thus while you disperse the Image. In your mind's eye, see the God once again towering before you. Take your time, and visualize the Image slowly disintegrating and disappearing until it is completely gone.
An Invocation of the Highest Divine Force Introduction No major Ritual Work should be undertaken without first performing an Invocation of the Highest Divine Force. Regardie taught that this preliminary Invocation is the single most important factor in the success or failure of any Magical Operation. In such an Invocation, the Magician summons and embodies the Highest Divine Force, also known as the Presence of God, the Higher Self, the Holy Guardian Angel, the Divine Genius, or the Daemon. Such an Invocation serves numerous functions. First of all, it exalts the consciousness of the Magician. It provides a clear transition from the mundane state of daily consciousness to the exalted state of mind required in all serious Ceremonial Work. Secondly, it brings the entire Operation under the Guidance, Direction, and Protection of the Higher Forces. Finally, it serves as a reminder of the underlying purpose of all Theurgy. All Magical activity, indeed any activity in the life of a
59
Magician, no matter how mundane, should be undertaken in cognizance of that ultimate goal, which is the completion of the Great Work. The Great Work, or the Opus Magnum, is as individual and personal as one's mundane career. However, underlying these differences there is a common goal that has variously been called the Beatific Vision of God, contact with the Higher Self, and Knowledge and Conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel. Such an Invocation is of necessity extremely personal. The Rite which follows, although it has been used with great success by the author, should not be slavishly performed. It is given only as a provisional formula, stripped of all poetic elements and symbolism which reflect the personal aspiration and psychic predisposition of the author. Of all the Rites and Ritual formulas in this book, this one must absolutely be personalized. It should come to intimately reflect the psychic predisposition of the individual Magician incorporating the symbolism which best represents the Highest Divine Force for that person. The Image of God held by a Hindu is radically different than that of a Christian or than the experience of the Higher Self of an Atheist. Yet each psyche responds to its own symbols. The following Rite of Invocation of the Highest Divine Force is adapted from The Middle Pillar Ritual combined with the Assumption of God Forms. Since it allows room for individual imagery as well as for the addition of personal symbolism, it be may used by Magicians on a provisional basis. It should be supplemented as quickly as possible with poetry or prayer selected by the each student as best representing their own individual aspiration. The student versed in Magical technology would be well advised to work this Rite only for a short time, before replacing it with one entirely of their own creation. Rite 1. Unless you have done so already, perform The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram, and the Rite of the Qabalistic Cross. 2 . Proclaim: "I invoke the Presence of God (Divinity or The Highest Divine Force)." 3. Visualize above your head the Highest Possible Image of God that you can envision. Let the symbolism reflect your personal conception of God as completely as possible. Take your time, and allow yourself to see and experience everything in detail. 5. Visualize a star shining just above your head (your Kether center or Crown Chakra) about the size of a baseball. It has a corona of

Light around it (like that around a candle in a dark room). 6 . Inhale, completely filling your lungs, and continue to visualize the star above your head. As you exhale, watch the star growing in brilliance while you vibrate "7';iR" [&-he-yi?].Repeat this process nine more times. 7 . Visualize a shaft of white Light coming down through your head from the star above you to your heart and solar plexus area. As you do so, draw down the Image of God and assume the God Form. Allow yourself to become the Image. Build it up in your entire Sphere of Sensation. In your mind's eye, assume all of its attributions and details. Take your time, and allow yourself to completely embody God (Divinity or Divine Force). Identify yourself with the Image. Become God, Divinity, or Divine Force. 8. Proclaim: "1 invoke my Divine Genius (Higher Self, Holy Guardian Angel, or Daemon)." 9. Visualize the God Form which you have Assumed beginning to transform into the Image of your own Divine Genius. Note that, depending on religious predisposition, there may not be any distinction. For some people God and their own Higher Self are one and the same. Many other people, however, have two distinctly different Images; one of God and one of their Higher Self. If for you there is no distinction, continue to embody the God Form previously assumed, and go on with the Rite. Otherwise build up the Image of your Divine Genius in your entire Sphere of Sensation. Assume in your mind's eye all of its attributions and details. Take your time, and allow yourself to completely embody your Divine Genius. Completely identify yourself with the Image. Become your Divine Genius. 10. Inhale, completely filling your lungs, and visualize a second star igniting at your heart and solar plexus area (your Tiphareth center or Heart Chakra). The star brightens as you exhale while vibrating "F97: ;i;%Zi7'" [ybd-hi?-v5v-hi? i-lo-h5 v&-d2-8t]. Continue to embody the God Form of your Divine Genius while you repeat this process nine more times. 11. Finish the Rite with the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, unless the Rite is being used in Preparation for further Invocation or Evocation.

Rite of the Magical Eucharist Introduction This Rite should always be used prior to the Banishing of any Elementai Invocation. The form given here is that which should be used for the Supreme Irxvoking Ritual of the Pentagram. It may easily be adjusted slightly for other Invocations according to the nature of the invoked Forces. For example, in the Greater Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram for the Element of Air, one would have only the Enochian Air Tablet and the Tablet of Union in the Temple and invite only the Elemental Hierarchy of Air in each of the four Quarters to partake of the Eucharist. The invitation should always be extended, nonetheless, to partake of each of the four Elements. The Eucharist is the aspect of the Ritual which is most enjoyable for the Forces thcnxselves. The Elementals (that is, Salamanders, Sylphs, Undines, and Gnomes) particularly enjoy partaking of and conxmuning with the other Elements. It is recommendable to include this Rite following the invocation of Planetary, Zodiacal, or Sephirothic Forces as well. This is due to the fact that the invisible beings which reside in these lofty realms do not have immediate access to the Elements, as do we who live on Earth (the realm of Assiah, Malkuth, and of the Elements). These invisible entities take
3. Declare: "For Osiris On-Nophris, who is found perfect before the Gods hath said (point to the Altar): These are the Elements of my body, perfected through suffering, glorified through trial. For the scent of the dying rose is as the repressed sigh of my suffering and the flame red Fire as the Energy of my undaunted will. The cup of wine is as the pouring out of the blood of my heart sacrificed unto regeneration, unto newer life, and the bread and salt are as the foundations of my body which I destroy in order that it may be renewed. For I am Osiris triumphant, even Osiris On-Nophris, the justified. I am he who is clothed in a body of flesh, yet in whom is the Spirit of the great Gods. I am the Lord of life, triumphant over death. He who partaketh with me shall arise with me. I am the manifester in matter of those whose abode is in the invisible. I am purified. I stand upon the Universe. I am its reconciler with the
The Ritual Magic Manual eternal Gods, and without me the Universe is not." Go to the Air Tablet in the East. Extend your arms in the form of a cross in the Sign of Osiris Slain. Proclaim: "Blessed art Thou, Lord of the Universe, for thy Glory flows out to the ends of the Universe rejoicing." Drop your arms to your sides, then extend them outward and upward toward the Quarter. Declare: "I invite you, all you beings of the great Eastern Quadrangle; Archangels, Angels, Kings, Rulers, and Elementals now assembled in this Temple to partake with me, Priest, of the Eucharist of the four Elements." Go to the Fire Tablet in the South. Give the Sign of Osiris Slain, and proclaim: "Blessed art Thou, Lord of the Universe, for thy Glory flows out to the ends of the Universe rejoicing." Drop your arms to your sides, then extend them outward and upward toward the Quarter. Declare: "I invite you, all you beings of the great Eastern Quadrangle; Archangels, Angels, Kings, Rulers, and Elementals now assembled in this Temple to partake with me, Priest, of the Eucharist of the four Elements." Go to the Water Tablet in the West. Give the Sign of Osiris Slain, and proclaim: "Blessed art Thou, Lord of the Universe, for thy Glory flows out to the ends of the Universe rejoicing." Drop your arms to your sides, then extend them outward and upward toward the Quarter. Declare: "I invite you, all you beings of the great Eastern Quadrangle; Archangels, Angels, Kings, Rulers, and Elementals now assembled in this Temple to partake with me, Priest, of the Eucharist of the four Elements." Go to the Earth Tablet. Give the Sign of Osiris Slain, and proclaim: "Blessed art Thou, Lord of the Universe, for thy Glory flows out to the ends of the Universe rejoicing." Drop your arms to your sides, then extend them outward and upward toward the Quarter. Declare: "I invite you, all you beings of the great Eastern Quadrangle; Archangels, Angels, Kings, Rulers, and Elernentals now assembled in this Temple to partake with me, Priest, of the Eucharist of the four Elements." Go to the West of the Altar facing East. Visualize all of the invisible entities present, and offer each elemental symbol to them as you raise each element in turn toward the East. Proclaim: (raising the candle toward the East) "I invite you to feel with me the warmth of this sacred lamp as a symbol of elemental Fire, (raising the chalice toward the East) to drink with me this sacramental wine, a consecrated symbol of elemental Water,

Give the Sign of the Enterer, then circumambulate to the East of the Altar facing West. Give the Sign of Silence. Partake of each of the Elemental symbols in the order given above.' When finished, drink the last drops of wine from of the cup, invert it, and place it upon the center of the Altar. Proclaim: "Tetelestai! It is accomplished!" 14. Declare: "Unto Thee, sole wise, sole mighty, and sole eternal One, be the praise and the glory forever, who has permitted me who standeth humbly before Thee to penetrate thus far into the sanctuary of thy mysteries. Not unto me, but unto thy Name be the glory. Let the influence of thy Divine Ones descend upon my head and teach me the value of self-sacrifice, so that I shrink not in the hour of trial, but that thus my Name may be written on high and my Genius stand in the presence of the Holy Ones; in that hour when the Son of Man is invoked before the Lord of Spirits and his Name before the Ancient of Days." 15. Divest yourself of the God Form of Osiris dressed in white with yellow, blue, black, and red trim, while vibrating "Osiris" [b-ser].

Introduction Ritual Timing The ideal time to begin any Elemental Working is during an Elemental Tide corresponding to the Element of the Ritual. Except in Workings intended to be used for Practical Magic,' however, the importance of performing the Rituals outweighs all other considerations. The Elemental Tides entered the Western Esoteric Tradition through the influence of Theosophy, which called them the "Tattwa Tides." The first cycle of Elemental Tides begins with Sunrise, and a fresh cycle begins every two hours. Within each one hundred twenty minute cycle, the Tide of each Element lasts for twenty-four minutes alternating in the following order: Spirit, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
Facing the Quarter of the Element There are two different allocations of the Elements to the four cardinal directions. The first allocation follows the "nature of the winds" which blow from these directions, and should be used for all Elemental

Invocation. Invoke Air in the East, for "the easterly wind is of the nature of Air." Invoke Fire in the South, for "the South wind brings the nature of Fire into action." Invoke Water in the West, for "the West winds bring rain and moisture." Invoke Earth in the North, "because the North wind is cold and dry like E a r t l ~ . " ~ The second allocation of the Elements to the four cardinal directions is according to the "natural position of the Elements in the Z ~ d i a c . " ~ The Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac begins with the Sign Leo. Below we see such an Astrological Chart oriented so that the cusp of Leo is on the Ascendant in the East and the Midheaven is in the South. The Kerubic Zodiacal Signs (that is, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Taurus) align along the angles of the Chart in such a fashion that a Fire Sign is in the East, an Earth Sign in the South, an Air Sign in the West, and a Water Sign is in the North. The Magician should face the Quarter of the Element according to this allocation when Skrying in the Spirit Vision to any Elemental Plane.

Enochian Elemental Tablets The Synopsis preceding each Ritual in this chapter describes the Enochian Tablet or Tablets that should be used in each instance. The Enochian Tablets of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth are included as colored illustrations in this book. The Enochian Elemental Tablet of Union is illustrated below. Each Student should craft a Tablet of union for his or her use. The letters EXARP should be colored yellow, HCOMA should be colored blue, NANTA should be colored black, and BITOM should be colored red.

The pronunciations of the names of Egyptian Gods used by the Golden Dawn have tradlt~onaliyrelied on relatively late Coptic pronunciations. Throughout the present work, a different approach has been employed. The pronunciations herein given have been derived directly from earlier hieroglyphic texts, and comprise the best eshrnation of coiltemporary Egyptology m regard to the origunal pronunclatlon in early Dynasties. The greatest obstacle facing Egyptology in this regard, however, 1s the lack of vowels in hieroglyphics. The hieroglyphic spellings of these names appear m E. A. Wallis Budge, Tlv Gods of the Egyptians [I9041 (New York: Dover, 1969). The name Nanta is denved from the line attributed to Earth of the Enochian Elemental Tablet of Union. The names employed m tracing Spirit Pentagrams throughout t h ~ schapter are of similar derivation.

Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram Introduction The Supreme Invoking fitual of the Pentagram invokes the Forces of the Tablet of Union and has two different forms. The distinction arises due to the various functions of the Tablet of Union, which rules the specific Element of Spirit (Akasha), yet generally rules all of the Elements, in unity, as well. These two different functions of this Tablet result in two distinct forms of this Ritual, according to its intended focus. When this Ritual is being employed to generally invoke all of the Elements together, it unites their Forces in balanced disposition. In this case, only the First Enochian Call should be used, and the Names and Sigils of each of the Elemental Hierarchies should be vibrated and traced in their respective Quarters. These Names and Sigils are given in the text of the Ritual. When this Ritual is being employed to invoke the specific Element of Spirit (Akasha), then the Second Enochian Call must additionally be employed. This is because the Second Enochian Call rules the specific Element of Spirit. Furthermore, the Names and Sigils of the Elemental Hierarchies should, in this case, not be vibrated and traced in their respective Quarters. This would merely create a confusion of Energies, by accentuating the individual nature of each Element. The Names and Sigils of the Elemental Hierarchies should therefore, in this case, be omitted. To avoid confusion, it should be noted that the pentagrams, the
The Ritual Magic Manual

symbols in their centers, and the names vibrated while tracing them, are to be employed in all forms of this Ritual. Only the use of the Enochian Calls and of the Sigils of the Elemental Hierarchies (with their attendant Names) vary according to the focus of the Ritual.

CHAPTER THREE
Planetary Magic "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book wrltten with~n and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? ...And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slam, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Cod sent forth into all the earth (Revelation 5:l. 2, 6).
Introduction Ritual Timing Whenever possible, cast a Sidereal Astrological Chart for the time and place of the Ritual. It is advisable to &nploy the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac when casting Charts for Rituals of Astrological Magic.' In Workings intended for Practical Magic, preferably choose a time for the Ritual when the Planet of the Working is strong in the Astrological Chart. This is particularly important when consecrating a Talisman, since the Chart of the Working additionally serves a birth chart for the T a l i ~ m a n . ~ The ideal time to begin any Planetary Working is during the day and the hour corresponding to the Planet in question. Except in Workings intended for Practical Magic, however, the importance of performing the Rituals outweighs all other considerations. One might, for example, merely choose the day attributed to the Planet as the best

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Determine the Planetary Hours as follows. One Traditional Planet corresponds to each of the twelve hours of the day, beginning at sunrise with the Planet that rules the day. The Planets then cycle downward according to the order that they correspond to the Sephiroth on the Tree of Life (that is, in their order of their relative motion when viewed from the Earth) as follows: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. The next hour begins with Saturn again, and the cycles repeat until Sunrise the following day. The Planetary Hours are usually not sixty minutes long like normal hours are, however. To determine the duration of Planetary Hours on a given day, divide the number of minutes between Sunrise and Sunset into twelve equal parts. Each resultant is the duration of one Planetary Hour during daylight hours. Likewise divide the hours between Sunset and Sunrise into twelve equal parts. Each of these parts is the duration of one nocturnal Planetary Hour. The following table resumes the Planets that rule each Planetary Hour. Facing the Planet At a certain point in Planetary Invocation Rituals, the Magician should face the location of the Planet to perform additional Invocations. When avoidable, the Magician may simply face East to perform this aspect of the Ritual. Magicians having cast a Sidereal Astrological Chart for the time and place of the Working have better options, however, due to information revealing the actual spatial location of the Planet. Traditionally, the correct method to "face the Planet" during a Ritual has remained a symbolical one, by orienting the Astrological Chart upon the Altar so that the Ascendant faces East, and that the Midheaven faces South. The Magician then faces away from the Altar in the direction indicated by the location of the Planet in the Chart.

An additional excellent alternative exists during the hours when the Planet is above the horizon. Vertically orient the Chart, so that the Ascendant faces East and the Midheaven faces straight up above the Altar, to determine the location of the Planet in the sky. For even greater precision, make a further adjustment slightly North or South of this position according to the present Declination of the Planet. This information is readily available in any astrological ephemeris or in Charts cast with a computer using good astrological software.

Magical Implements Remember that performing the Rituals on a regular basis outweighs all other cox~siderations.Those Magicians not in possession of consecrated Magical Implements should simply use their hands or index fingers, together with Enochian Tablets from this book, and a few items from the kitchen. Rosicrucian Adepts have traditionally employed the Lotus Wand as the Magical Implement of choice for Planetary, Sephirothic, and Zodiacal Invocation. The Lotus Wand therefore appears in the text of the Planetary Rituals. The Phoenix Wand, however, is actually more suitable to Planetary Invocation, since its seven colored sections correspond to the seven Ancient Planets. To use the Phoenix Wand in Planetary Magic, hold it by the colored band attributed to the Planet of the Working. The twelve colored bands that divide the Lotus Wand correspond to the twelve Signs of the Zodiac. There are several means of correctly employing the Lotus Wand in Planetary and Sephirothic Invocation. The Magician may hold the Lotus Wand by the white section for general Invocation, for sephirothic influences, and for matters of a divine or spiritual nature. The student may also hold the Lotus Wand by the colored band attributed to the Sidereal Sign where the Planet of the Working is currently located. Finally, he or she may hold the Lotus Wand by the band of one of the Zodiacal Signs ruled by the Planet, according to a traditional system of Diurnal and Nocturnal Signs. Day and Night Houses of the Planets Israel Regardie published the correspondences of the seven Traditional Planets ruling the Diurnal and the Nocturnal Zodiacal Signs in 1937 with several significant errors. The frequent republishing of Regardie's errors by subsequent authors has resulted in decades of incorrect magical practice. The rulership of the Signs by the seven traditional Planets as well as their Diurnal or Nocturnal nature was apparently first
The Moon and the Sun, which rule over Cancer and Leo, the first and the warmest Signs of Summer, sit at the top of the Zodiacal Wheel. Planetary Rulership of the remaining Signs then descends the Wheel symmetrically according to the relative motion of the Planets viewed from the Earth, and beginning with Mercury at the top and ending with Saturn at the bottom. The Signs on the left side of the wheel, with Leo and the Sun, are the Diurnal Signs or "Day Houses of the Planets." The Signs on the right side of the chart, with Cancer and the Moon, are the Nocturnal Signs or "Night Houses." Leo serves as both Day and Night House of the Sun, and Cancer serves the same for the Moon since these two luminaries rule only one Sign each. The following table resumes these ideas and lists the Signs of the Detriment, Exaltation, and Depression of the Planets. This is a corrected version of a chart incorrectly published by Regardie and others.-'

New Developments in Planetary Magic Contrary to the misunderstanding of some historians, Rosicrucian Magic remains a living, growing, evolving synthesis of previously existing systems, and not merely an object of historical curiosity. The legitimate criteria to evaluate growth and further development in the R. R. et A. C. system are: whether said developments are logically consistent, whether they follow similar lines of synthesis as those used during the nineteenth century, and whether or not they are magically effective. The Rituals in this chapter integrate Enochian material into Planetary Magic along the same lines that Elemental Magic integrated similar material in the last century. The Enochian Planetary tablet^,^ their attributions, and the Enochian Calls complete this integration. For a detailed analysis of the attributions of the Names and Squares of the Enochian Planetary Tablets, as well as the Planetary attribution of the Enochian Calls, see Appendix 11: The Book of the Concourse of Plaizetary and Zodiacal Forces. A thorough study of this material shall prove of great value to the Magician. Regarding the Planetary Hierarchy of Divine and Angelical Names, new research has revealed the traditional distinction between Sephirothic and Planetary Hierarchies to be false. The correct distinction lies rather between Sephirothic and Kameothic Hierarchies. In the "Planetary" Hierarchy, the Divine Names are those of the Sephirothic Hierarchy, whereas the names of the Planetary Intelligences and Spirits derive from a system of Magic Squares called the Kameoth. All that remains of the "Planetary" Hierarchy are the so-called Archangels of the Planets, spelled in most modern sources as: Cassiel, Sachiel, Zamael, Michael, Anael, Raphael, and Gabriel. Interestingly, of all the Hierarchies, these "Archangels" are the only entities

whose Names Regardie does not give in Hebrew. Furthermore, the Hebrew spellings given by Aleister Crowley for these Names in 7776are completely inaccurate, likely representing a retransliteration into Hebrew of the English transliteration given by Regardie. Various versions of Sepher ~ a t z i e l ,an important Jewish magical text, clearly demonstrate the origin of the these Names in the Sephithe names of the Archangels Michael rothic H i e r a r ~ h y Interestingly, .~ and Raphael are not always transposed in the various versions of the Sepher Raziel manuscripts as the) are in the "Planetary" Hierarchy. Furthermore, earlier manuscripts indicate that the notion itself of a "Planetary" Hierarchy likely originates as a Qabalistic adaptation of an earlier system of Planetary Magic, apparently Chaldean in rig in.^ Once restored to correct Hebrew spellings, it becomes clear that the names of this Hierarchy are indeed not "Archangelic" in nature at all.9 For example, when correctly spelled in Hebrew, the name of the "Archangel" of Mars is in reality the arch-demon Samael (?NQo).'O With one notable exception, most of the other names of this Hierarchy are virtually identical with the Archangels of the Sephirothic Hierarchy. Interestingly, the name "sachiel" given by Regardie as the "Archangel of Jupiter" comprises but a corrupt translitration of the Name of the Sephirothic Archangel of Chesed, " ~ z a d ~ i e(?K'?-T~). l" It seems likely that the Planetary Hierarchy originated when early Qabalists wished to adapt a yet earlier system of Planetary Magic for Qabalistic use. In the earlier system, the entities are of a nature similar to the characteristics attributed to the Planets in traditional Astrology. The creators of the Qabalistic Hierarchy apparently replaced the names from the earlier magical system with the names of Archangels drawn from the corresponding Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. The Malefic Planets, Mars and Saturn, presented a unique problem, however, since Sephirothic Archangels could not adequately represent their destructive energies. The Qabalists therefore attributed the Demon Samael to Mars. For Saturn, they found a classical Qabalistic sob

lution. They permuted the Name of the Archangel of Binah, Tzaphquiel (5K73fl~), by exchanging its first and third letters, Tzaddi (X) and Qoph (p). The resultant permutation, Qaphtziel (h'X93), adequately represented the malefic energies of Saturn. Apparently, ignorant scribes later corrupted Qaphtziel through transliteration into "Cassiel," the form in which Regardie published this name and authors have copied and republished it ever since. In conclusion, the Planetary Hierarchy previously employed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn should no longer be used. Instead, Iiosicrucian Magic must henceforth distinguish between Sephirothic and Kameothic, rather than Sephirothic and Planetary Hierarchies. Therefore, when performing Planetary Invocation, Magicians should first invoke the Divine Name, Archangel, and Angel from the Sephirothic Hierarchy, followed by the Kameothic Planetary Intelligence. In Magical Evocation, the Magician would follow this with an Evocation of the Kameothic Planetary Spirit." Never invoke the Kameothic Spirits, however, since their nature is clearly demonic. The Planetary Rituals in this chapter integrate the results of this new r~search.

the Key Word in closing. Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram
Introduction The Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram invokes the combined Forces of the Planets in balanced disposition. The following version of this Ritual invokes the Forces of the Planets in the descending order of their relative motions when viewed from the Earth. This is identical with the order they appear on the Tree of Life, and they correspond to the letters of the seven-lettered name Araritha (MZ'lWlK). The following version of this Ritual is primarily for use inside the Vault of the Adepti, and its form derives from the disposition of the Planets in the Vault, as illustrated below.25 When the Ritual is being performed inside the Vault, all Banishing, reverse Circumambulation, and the Enochian Call should be omitted. It is traditional to never banish anything nor to use Enochiana inside the Vault. A good alternative version would be to invoke the Planets according to increasing vibratory frequency of the colors which correspond to them in the King's Scale (that is, in the order of the walls of the Vault). The Magician should eventually experiment with both versions.
Note that the orientations given within the text of this Ritual are not always preclse, due to the difficulty of d ~ v i d i n ga Heptagram and a Triangle illto the directions usually assoc~atedwith a compass The Magician should therefore make frequent reference to this illustration when perforirung this Btual.

The Zodiacal Rituals in this chapter employ Greater Invoking and Banishing Rituals of the Pentagram. Under most circumstances, this is a satisfactory method of Invocation, since each Sign of the Zodiac has an affinity with the Elements known in Astrology as Elemental Triplicity. Each Zodiacal Sign has an additional affinity, however, with one of the seven Traditional Planets according to the Planetary Rulership of each Sign.' To emphasize the Planetary, rather than the Elemental, nature of the Sign, the Magician may therefore alternatively invoke Zodiacal Forces by employing Greater Invoking and Banishing Rituals of the Hexagram for the Planet ruling the Sign. The Invocation of Zodiacal Forces inside the Vault of the Adepti is one example where Hexagrams would be more appropriate. Hexagrams are preferable in the Vault due

to its Planetary nature, since the Forces in this highly charged magical chamber reflect through its seven Planetary walls. Trace the Hexagrams in the King's Scale color attributed to the Zodiacal Sign, with the Sign's glyph traced in its center in the Flashing Color. The colors used in the Pentagram Rituals in this chapter are correct. Employ the Names and Sigils from the Zodiacal Hierarchy in the same fashion as included in the Pentagram Iiituals in this chapter. The correspondences between the Signs of the Zodiac, their Planetary Rulers, and the Elemental Triplicities are as follows:
The ideal time to begin any Zodiacal Working using Hexagram Rituals is during the day and the hour corresponding to the Planet ruling the Sign," and either during the hours of the day or of the night, de. ~ ideal time pending on whether the Sign is Diurnal or N o c t ~ r n a l The to begin any Zodiacal Working using Pentagram Iiituals is during an Elemental Tide6 that corresponds to the Element of the Triplicity of the Sign. An alternative excellent time for all Zodiacal Invocation is when the Sign is ascending in the East, as determined by the Sidereal Astrological Chart. Except in Workings intended to be used for purposes of Practical Magic, however, the importance of performing the Rituals outweighs all other considerations.

At a certain point in Zodiacal Invocation Rituals, the Magician should face the location of the Sign to perform additional Invocations. When unavoidable, the Magician may simply face the Quarter of the Element to perform this aspect of the Ritual, according to the natural position of the Elements in the Zodiac: Fire in the East, Earth in the South, Air in the West, and Water in the North (When using the Rite of the Magical Eucharist in Rituals of Zodiacal Invocation, likewise .~ having orient and arrange the Elements upon the A l t a ~ )Magicians cast a Sidereal Astrological Chart for the time and place of the Working have better options, however, due to information revealing the spatial location of the Sign. Traditionally, the correct method to "face the Sign" during a Ritual has remained a symbolical one, by orienting the Astrological Chart upon the Altar so that the Ascendant faces East and that the Midheaven faces South. The Magician then faces away from the Altar in the direction indicated by the location of the Sign in the Chart. An additional excellent alternative exists during the hours when the Sign is above the horizon. Vertically orient the Chart so that the

Ascendant faces East and the Midheaven faces straight up above the Altar to determine the location of the Constellation in the sky. For even greater precision, make a further adjustment slightly North or South of this position according to the present Declination of the Sun. This final adjustment is necessary since the Zodiacal Constellations lie along the Ecliptic, the path apparently followed by the Sun when viewed from the Earth. The Ecliptic begins due East only at time of the Equinoxes, when it intersects with the Equator. The Declination of the Sun shows the current degree of variance between the Ecliptic and the Equator. This information is available in any astrological ephemeris or in Charts cast with a computer using good astrological software.
Greater Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram, Pisces

Spirit Pentagrams When using I'entagrams for Zodiacal Invocation, some Magicians have traditionally preferred to precede each Zodiacal Invoking Pentagram with a Spirit Invoking Pentagram as is done in Elemental Invocation. Magicians who prefer this practice may add this step to the Rituals in this Chapter. It should first be considered, however, that the Signs of the Zodiac belong to an entirely different and more exalted Plane than d o the Elements. While the Elements come under the presidency of Spirit, the Signs of the Zodiac come rather under the presidency of the Supernal Sephiroth and correspond with the Sephirah of Chokmah. New Developnlents in Zodiacal Magic The Rituals in this chapter integrate Enochian material into Zodiacal Magic along the same lines that Elemental Magic incorporated similar material in the last century. The Enochian Zodiacal Tablet: its attributions, and the Enochian Calls complete this integration. For a detailed analysis of the attributions of the Names and Squares of the Enochian Zodiacal Tablet, as well as the Zodiacal attribution of the Enochiarl Calls, see appendix 11, "The Book of the Concourse of Planetary and Zodiacal Forces." Although unnecessary to perform the Rituals in this chapter, a thorough study of this appendix shall prove of great value to the Magician.

Practical and Talismanic Magic "I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the m d s t of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, w ~ dgirt about the chest with a golden girdle. HIS head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned m a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had m his right hand seven stars; and out of h ~ mouth s went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun shmeth in his strength" (Revelation 1:12-16)
Introduction The Function and Aim of Magic By performing the Rituals in the earlier chapters of this book, the student has learned how to correctly and effectively invoke and banish each of the Elemental, Planetary, Zodiacal, and Sephirothic Magical Forces. Until the present, however, the application of these Forces to Practical Magic has not been discussed. Although each Ritual of the main body of the present work includes a Magical Intention within its structure, these Intentions have so far been limited to the development of the Sphere of Sensation ("Aura" or "Energy Body") of the Magician, together with the stated aspiration to come into ever greater contact with the source of wisdom and guidance frequently referred to as the Divine Genius or Holy Guardian Angel. The subject of Practical Magic has deliberately been postponed until the later chapters of the present work to counteract prevalent misconceptions about the function and aim of Magic. The primary purpose of Magic in the Rosicrucian Tradition is personal and spiritual development, rather than the mere ability to cause things to happen in the ex-
The Ritual Magic M a n ~ l a l
Practical and Talismanic Magic
ternal world. Although the Adept indeed develops formidable skills in this latter arena, such abilities are merely byproducts of Initiation or magical discipline, rather than their primary aim. Initiation into any genuine Magical Order or Tradition inevitably includes magical as well as psychological aspects. Appendix V, "Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, and Psychotherapy" demonstrates that, from a psychological perspective, genuine self initiation is virtually impossible. Nonetheless, under certain circumstances the solitary student can indeed accomplish the magical function of Initiation through discipline and persistence in the practice of Ceremonial Magic. The magical aims of Initiation are the systematic awakening of certain Forces in the Sphere of Sensation ("Aura" or "Energy Body") of the student, and the strengthening thereof. The Adept over time learns to embody, transmit, and direct ever increasing amounts of Magical Current. There has been a great deal of misunderstanding regarding Magical Current, the Energy known in Rosicrucian Magic as LVX [lux]. More than an intellectual idea, this Energy is as physically real as electricity or fire and can be felt within and flowing through the body. Furthermore, LVX is the Force with which the Magician invests his Magical Weapons and Talismans during their consecration.
wise bring Zodiacal Magic down to earth, enabling the Magician to create change in external reality in the fields of experience represented by the Houses. In Zodiacal Magic, the Houses exactly correspond to the Zodiacal Signs, as they do in the Natural Zodiac (that is, with the first degree of Aries on the Ascendant, the first degree of Taurus on the cusp of the second house, the first degree of Gemini on the cusp of the third house, and so forth)." The Elements operate in the lowest of the four Qabalistic Worlds (called Assiah) and in the lowest of the ten Sephiroth (Malkuth). Since these are the realms wherein we live in the physical world, the Elemental Forces serve directly to create change in physical reality. The Magician wishing to magically cause effects in the external world will therefore find the Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram the single most important Ritual at his or her disposition. Indeed this Ritual can accomplish such amazing results that numerous aspiring Magicians never progress beyond it, or beyond a variation thereof. Such Magicians, however, are like those misguided alchemists whose exclusive aim is to make gold. Whether the Magician chooses Elemental, Planetary, Zodiacal, or Sephirothic Forces with which to manifest a particular Magical Intention is largely a question of discrimination. The categories listed at the end of the chapter will be of great assistance in this regard. For example, let us assume that a Magician needs money. The Supreme Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram would be a good first choice to manifest anything in the physical environment, since it invokes the combined Forces of the Elements, and since everything on the Earth contains a combination of each of the Elements. After consulting the categories given at the end of this chapter, however, the Magician could quickly ascertain that several additional options exist. An examination of these various possibilities shall serve to illustrate the primary differences between Elemental, Planetary, and Zodiacal Magic. Upon examining the categories, the Magician first notices that the Element of Earth rules money and material matters. Should the Magician choose to work elementally, the desired result could most effectively be achieved by performing two separate Workings. The Supreme Invoking and Ritual of the Pentagram followed by the Greater Invoking and Ritual of the Pentagram for Earth would be an effective combination. The Magician would notice as well, however, that the Zodiacal Sign of Taurus rules materialism and that the corresponding Second House rules money. Whereas he or she might most readily
524
Practical Magic For the purposes of Practical Magic, Elemental Magic serves primarily to create direct effects in external reality. Astrological Magic facilitates personal development. Sephirothic Magic is useful for spiritual development as well as for the attainment of certain mystical states. The Planets in Astrology traditionally represent particular psychological drives, urges, and motivations.'

Flashing Tablets and Talismans Rosicrucian Magic has traditionally used Flashing Tablets or Talismans as focal objects for Planetary, Zodiacal, and Sephirothic Forces, when employing these Energies for Practical Magic. Such a physical link is necessary, since the Planets and the Zodiacal Signs are attributed to Sephiroth and Paths above Malkuth on the Tree of Life, and above Assiah in the four Qabalistic Worlds. Furthermore, the Sephiroth themselves belong to a loftier Spiritual Plane than do the Elements. A complete set of such Talismans appear as color illustrations in this book. These Talismans bring together various aspects of the R. R. et A. C. System, which include the employment of geometrical figures and colors corresponding to Magical Forces. Each corresponding color appears together with its contrasting or "flashing" color. This flashing effect is conducive to the attraction of the corresponding Magical Force to the Talisman. Polygons and the colors of the Queen's Scale appear in Talismans for the Forces attributed to the Sephiroth, since they best reflect the passive or receptive nature of the latter. Polygrams and the colors of the King's Scale appear in Talismans for the Forces attributed to the Paths on the Tree of Life, as these best reflect their active or outflowing nature. The Talismans in this book further include Names of God, Archangels, Angels, Intelligences, Spirits, Qlippoth, and Spheres, together with Sigils for these Names. The Names of the Qlippoth and other Averse Forces appear on these illustrations only so that they may additionally be used as Lamens for the Magical E v o c a t i ~ nIt. ~is best not to include these Names on Talismans. The student should employ the illustrations as a guide to construct his or her own Talismans for Practical Magic. The crafting of Talismans entails more than mere preparation, being essential to the Ritual, and should be conducted with great solemnity. Take great care in See chapter seven, "Dernon~cEvocntlon;' for more ~nforrnatlon

Ceremonial Formula of Magical Consecration The Ceremonial Formula for the Consecration of Talismans is used in the Rituals for the Consecration of the Elemental Weapons and Magic Sword published by Israel Regardie.6 Regardie sometimes used the Middle Pillar Ritual to consecrate Talismans as well, and elsewhere describes an additional means of Consecration according to the Neophyte F ~ r m u l a . ~ To consecrate a Talisman by the Ceremonial Formula, first invoke the respective Forces, then charge the Talisman with them. Place the Talisman on the Altar at the point of the Ritual following the Magical Intention. Trace and visualize a circle of white Light around it to confine the Force. Repeatedly project Magical Current into it using the Sign of the Enterer immediately followed by the Sign of Silence. The Sign of the Enterer projects the Current, and the Sign of Silence prevents the Force from bouncing back on the Magician. Next perform additional Invocation directly over the Talisman, repeating the appropriate Invoking Pentagram or Hexagram, then retracing the respective Names and Sigils. Project additional Magical Current into the Talisman as before. Finally, purify it with water and consecrate it with fire, then wrap the Talisman in silk or linen of the corresponding color and put it away before banishing. Dignity of the Planets and the Signs Always determine the Dignity of the Planet or the Sign of the Ritual before consecrating an Astrological Talisman. The Dignity of a Planet is determined by its strength in the Sign where it is located, together with aspects it makes with other Planets at the time of the working8 Although of lesser importance, aspects made by the Planet with certain angles of the Astrological Chart are significant as well, particularly with the Ascendant and the Midheaven. A Planet is strongest in the Signs that it Rules, strong in the Sign of its Exaltation, weak in the Sign of its Depression, and weakest in the " The Golden Dawn (Thr orrgrnul Acco~rt~t of the Teachtnx5, R~tes,and Cerernon~esuf the Hrrmetrc Order of tile Gullfen Dazun) [1937], revealed by Israel Regardle, Slxth ed (St Paul Llewellyn, 1989). pp 317328 - - -

Signs of its Detriment. Likewise, in simplest terms, a Planet is strongest when it is Conjunct (o), strong when Trine (A), weak when Square (U), and weakest when in Opposition ( 2 )with another Planet. Two Planets are Conjunct when they are together in an Astrological Chart, Trine when they are one hundred and twenty degrees apart, Square when they are ninety degrees apart, and in Opposition to one another when they are one hundred and eighty degrees apart. Astrology traditionally allows about five degrees variance in these measurements while still considering the Aspects to be valid. Likewise Zodiacal Signs are strongest when occupied by Planets that rule them, strong when occupied by Planets in their Exaltation, weak when occupied by Planets in their Detriment, and weakest when occupied by Planets in their Depression. Aspects made by any Planet occupying the Sign, of course, additionally affect its Dignity. Always cast, therefore, a Sidereal Astrological Chart for the time and place of the Ritual. This is particularly important in works of Talismanic Magic, since the Chart becomes the Birth Chart of the Talisman. It is advisable to employ the Rosicrucian Sidereal Zodiac when casting Charts for Rituals of Astrological magi^.^

CHAPTER SEVEN
Demonic Evocation "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, hav~ngseven heads a i d ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne" (Revelation 12:3-5).
Introduction Magical Evocation Magical Evocation of the Averse Forces is the most feared, maligned, and misunderstood aspect of Ceremonial Magic. Interestingly, it is one of the most potentially valuable as well. Many readers will wonder what, if anything, Demonic Evocation has to do with the Golden Dawn or with Rosicrucian Magic. Indeed, many Rosicrucian Adepts have no idea how or where this aspect of Magic fits into the System, even though they have stood upon the Names of the Qlippoth on the floor of the Vault of the Adepti. The knowledge that follows in this chapter was once reserved exclusively for Rosicrucian Adepts who not merely had attained the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel but had risen with Osiris in the Tomb of Frater CRC as well, thus attaining the strength of Gevurah.' Indeed, the work of the Sword is the work of the Major Adept, and all others should fear, shun, and avoid it. Let the unprepared turn back in self-righteousness and

terror to the innocence and safety of the light, lest they fall unwary into the pit and be lost forever to the dog-faced denizens of darkness. Evocation to Visible Appearance is an extremely powerful form of Ritual, designed primarily for working with the Averse Forces in a safe and sane fashion. S. L. MacGregor Mathers spent a great deal of time studying and translating Magical Grimoires including the Greater ~ Lesser Key of Solomon3 (also known as the Key of S o l o n ~ o 1 1 ,the L . s m r g e t o n ) , the GriiTioire of A r ~ r t a d e I ,and ~ the Book of the Sacred Magic of Abra-Melitz the h / l ~ g e .Israel ~ Regardie contended that the Magical Grimoires contain the remnants of an ancient form of Psychology, although in a greatly corrupted form. This corruption is likely due to the official condemnation of Magic in all its forms by the Christian Church during the Middle Ages. Thus the repressive paradigm prevalent in Europe during the Middle Ages degraded the ancient and sacred science of Theurgy into the vulgar Sorcery of the Grinloires and corrupted its sublime aims into the puerile desires of its guilt-instilled and greedy practitioner^.^ At the close of the Twentieth Century, as well as of the Millennium, we live under very different conditions than did the Magicians of earlier times. Science has greatly diminished the power of Dogma to determine how we see the world, and Psychology has emerged to fill the role once played by Theurgy. We live in an age of religious tolerance, wherein Christians may again begin to embrace the value of Magic. Indeed, Christ the Magus is the ideal of Christian Magicians. Let the intolerant and the self-righteous remember that the religious leaders of his day accused Christ himself of evil magic, of commanding demons by the power of the Prince of Demons. Hierarchies of Demons An important obstacle to overcome in the practice of Magical Evocation is the difficulty to find a suitable Hierarchy of Averse Forces. The Hierarchies in most of the Grimoires are hopelessly corrupt, largely due to the practice of young religions to demonize Gods and Angels from the

Demonic Evocatiolz pantheons of pre-existing and contemporaneous spiritual traditions. For example, Baal and Astarte, the great God and Goddess of the Caananites, appear diabolized in the infernal Hierarchy of the Goetia in the Lemegeton as the demons Beelzebub and Asteroth. Other Grimoires even include Isis, the sublime Mother Goddess of Egypt, as one of the denizens of Hell. Fortunately, however, the Hierarchies of Forces attributed to the Qabalistic Tree of Life by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn provide a perfect vehicle for Magical Evocation. These Hierarchies descend through all four of the Qabalistic Worlds and onward into the Realm of the Averse Forces. Unto Aziluth, the Highest of the four Qabalistic Worlds corresponds a Divine Name attributed unto each Sephirothic, Zodiacal, Planetary, and Elemental Force. Likewise, unto Briah, the next descending World, corresponds the Name of an Archangel, and unto Yetzirah, the name of an Angel or Choir of Angels presiding over each of the Forces. Unto Assiah, the lowest Qabalistic World corresponds a Name for the Sphere of the operation of each Force, and in the Infernal realm beyond Assiah corresponds the Name of an Averse Force. Thus we find in the Tree of Life an excellent model and vehicle for use in Magical Evocation. Preparation for Evocation Magical Evocation of the Averse Forces is one of the most perilous tasks an Adept must undertake. Within the initiatic framework of the R. R. et A. C., the Initiate should not undertake work of Evocation until the 6=5 Grade of Adeptus Major. As a Minor Adept, the Magician at length achieves the Knowledge and Conversation with his or her Holy Guardian Angel (also known as Divine Genius) and progressively invokes the Forces of the Tree of Life through the Subgrades. Only then, having grown into the full consciousness of Tiphareth and contact with the Divine and Angelical Forces, is the Adept ready to strive to achieve the strength of Gevurah. The Magical Weapon attributed to Gevurah is the Magic Sword, and the primary magical task of the Adeptus Major is the confrontation with the Averse Forces. Before advancing to the Compassion and Love of Chesed, the Adept must first fully integrate the Strength of Gevurah by reworking the Forces of the Tree of Life, Sephirah by Sephirah through Gevurah in the 6=5 Subgrades of Adeptus Major. The Major Adept must therewith evoke, constrain, and subdue each of the Averse Forces. In the R. R. et A. C., the initiatic Rites of the Order, a rigid regimen of Magical Invo-

cation, and significant self-abnegation together prepare the Adept for this perilous undertaking. Without such formal preparation, the solitary practitioner should by some means or another first have come into the fullness of the Knowledge and Conversation with his or her Holy Guardian Angel. The student should have additionally successfully invoked and banished each of the Divine, Archangelical, and Angelical Forces in the Rituals of this book before setting out to evoke, constrain, and subdue any of the Averse Forces. Should this not be the case, the solitary practitioner should leave Magical Evocation strictly alone. Evocation is not a game to toy with, but a dangerous undertaking even for a Major Adept. The result of ignoring this warning could be spiritual disaster, ruin, obsession, or even psychosis.
Magician. These complexes exist beyond the threshold of consciousness, beyond the light of reason so to speak, in the darkness of the psyche. In Qabalistic terms, the four Worlds of Aziluth, Briah, Yetzirah, and Assiah, with their corresponding Gods, Archangels, and Angels are Forces of Light. They exist in the Light of consciousness. The Averse Forces, Qlippoth, Spirits, and Demons are unconscious Forces, which exist in the dark realm beyond our conscious awareness. Indeed, the Demons are but the "Shadows of the Gods." A lotus flower opens gracefully in the light, but its root grows in the dark slime beneath the water. Each of the Forces attributed the Tree of Life may be likened to a lotus flower. The Divine Names, Archangels, Angels, and Spheres corresponding to each Force are like the petals of the lotus, bathing in the light of consciousness. The corresponding Qlippoth, Spirits, and Demons are the root of the lotus growing in the dark slime. The Gods, Archangels, and Angels are rational or conscious Forces. The Averse Forces comprise the dark, non-rational, frequently repressed, instinctual, and emotive counterparts of the same. These Dark Forces exert a great power over consciousness. They move us instinctually, emotionally, and frequently completely unobserved and unnoticed. Who has not experienced being "carried away" by a strong emotion, like anger, which colors consciousness temporarily with nearly irresistible power? Who has not said, at one time or another, "I just don't know what came over me?" Indeed, unconscious Forces play a far more active and fundamental role in day-to-day life then we are normally aware. They manifest autonomously, in response to stimuli in the environment, and independently of our will and awareness. It is the task of the Major Adept to grow in awareness of, to make conscious, and to master these Forces. From this perspective, Magical Evocation bears a certain resemblance to the process of psychotherapy, since it involves the bringing of unconscious contents to light. By evoking the Averse Forces into the Triangle of Art, the Magician brings them into the light of consciousness, virtually comes to see them, and attempts learn about their nature, function, and mode of operation in the process. Before the Evocation, this had remained completely unconscious or, so to speak, in the darkness. With time, the Adept learns to quickly recognize these Forces whenever they manifest in his or her day-today life and to direct their operation to the service of greater psychic unity and harmony. As Israel Regardie put it: "No longer are they [the Demons] independent spirits roaming the astral world, or partial systems roaming the unconscious, disrupting the individual's conscious

Psychology and Evocation One may best understand the function of Magical Evocation within Rosicrucian Magic from a psychological perspective. Modern psychology offers the Magician important insight into processes known to Theurgists for thousands of years. The notion of the Unconscious, an aspect of the psyche lying beneath the threshold of conscious awareness, provides new insight into the nature of the Entities previously understood as Demons. Israel Regardie suggested that: "The term 'complex' has achieved a fairly wide notoriety during the last quarter century since the circulation of the ideas of Freud and Jung. It means an aggregation or group of ideas in the mind with a strong emotional charge, in the capable of affecting conscious thought and b e h a ~ i o r . "Living ~ dark realm beyond the light of consciousness, the complexes enjoy a sort of semi-autonomy within the psyche. Whether the Magical Forces, Angels, and Demons exist objectively or rather merely subjectively within the psyche of the Magician is an epistemological question that goes beyond the scope of the present discussion. For practical purposes, it is quite useful to consider the Forces at times as though they were objective and in other instances to treat them as though they were purely subjective psychic contents of the Magician. This is not dissimilar to the scientific understanding of light. We may best understand certain properties of light by considering it as a wave and others by considering light as a particle. We may thus gain new insight into the nature of Demons by considering the Averse Forces as subjective Forces within the Psyche of the Israel iirgardic, The Apt ar:J Meai?irrg i,fMagtc (Toddington: Helios, 1964), p. 32

Demonic Evocation life. They are brought back once more into the personality where they become useful citizens so to speak, integral parts of the psyche, instead of outlaws and gangsters, grievous and dangerous enemies threatening psychic unity and integrity."$ It is frequently easier to recognize the manifestation of these Forces in retrospect rather than during their manifestation moment-to-moment. These processes are very subtle and extremely easy to overlook. The Magical Diary or Journal is therefore an important tool in becoming conscious of these Forces, as we frequently notice them first during the process of reflection. Thus we have seen that modern psychology illuminates processes underlying Ceremonial Magic. It would behoove psychologists and psychotherapists as well, however, to pay closer attention to Ceremonial Magic. Through Rituals like Magical Evocation, Ceremonial Magic has a great deal to offer psychology, especially regarding technique and methodology. Safety in Evocation Rituals Until this point, every Ritual in the present book has appeared so that the solitary practitioner may easily and readily invoke and banish each Magical Force without the aid of a Magical Order. This chapter includes only one Ritual, however. The solitary practitioner, if he or she has performed each of the preceding ~ituals-inthis book, should have no problem in adapting the following Ritual to work, in turn, with each of the Averse Forces, by employing the Hierarchies given within each of the Invocation Rituals, together with the corresponding Names and Sigils from the Infernal ~ i e i a r c h i e slisted in appendix I< "Magical Correspondences." These precautions are necessary to attempt to avoid the catastrophe that would doubtlessly ensue, should the casual reader skip the rest of the work and attempt to begin directly with Magical Evocation. It remains to clarify how to perform Magical Evocation in safety. The Averse Forces are indeed Unbalanced Forces whose Energy is highly unstable and dangerous. Proper msulation is the most important key to relating to them in a safe fashion. For example, by way of analogy, electricity in itself is neither good nor evil. Although guaranteed to kill you, should you grab a live wire with enough current flowing through it, with proper insulation electricity may nonetheless light up
551
an entire city. Likewise, although they are extremely dangerous, the Magician with proper insulation may safely handle the Averse Forces. In a Ritual of Magical Evocation, the Magician organizes his or her defenses to provide sufficient insulation for complete safety. The Magician's first line of defense is the Triangle of Art. This is the space wherein to evoke the Demon to visible appearance and to constrain it during the Ritual. According to Rosicrucian Tradition, another alternative instead of a triangle is to employ polygons whose numbers of angles correspond to the nature of the Force. For example, the Evocation of the Qlippoth of Hod could employ an octagon, that of the Spirit of Jupiter, a square, and so forth. In practice, however, the traditional Triangle of Art, specially prepared for the Ritual, is generally quite sufficient. The Adept may nonetheless wish to experiment with polygons other than a triangle for use as constrainment devices, since there exists historical precedent in the Rosicrucian Tradition for this variation. Place the Triangle of Art in the East of the Temple or in the Direction usually associated with the Force. For example, to evoke the Demon of Air, set up the Triangle of Art in the West, the Quarter toward which the Magician should face to skry to the Plane of Air. One line of Tradition then suggests the use of vast amounts of thick, smoky incense for the Entity to use as a material basis to appear. In recent decades, however, research has suggested that the smoke method is but a blind, or "smoke-screen," for the actual procedure, which is to place a mirror inside the Triangle of Art.g For the latter method, arrange the Triangle vertically so that the Magician can easily see his or her reflection therein. Although the Adept should experiment with both methods, research reveals the latter to be more effective. There is a distinct advantage to using a mirror in the Triangle instead of smoke, since the Entity appears together with the reflection of the seer, thus facilitating the projection of psychic contents into the Triangle. Construct the Triangle of Art of plywood, and paint it white. Paint a black triangle outline about two inches inside the edge, and glue a round mirror in the center. Then add the Names and Sigil in crayon or in any other easily removable material before each Ritual. In the following illustration, the Triangle of Art bears the Names and Sigil appropriate for the Evocation of Zazel, the Demonic Spirit of the Planet Saturn, which follows in this chapter. The Divine name, Archangel, Angel, Intelligence, and Sphere appear in Hebrew in the outer triangle. The inner triangle contains the Name and the Sigil of the Demon. 'This method was apparently rediscovered by "Poke"Kunyon of the Ordo Temp11Astarte

The Names in the outer section constrain the Spirit within the Inner Triangle. For the Spirit to escape, it must first pass by all the Divine and Angelical Forces of Saturn that constrain it.
The Magic Circle may be on the floor with chalk, if necessary, but it is far more versatile and effective to construct it of round piece of white fabric about seven feet in diameter. The Names corresponding to the Forces should be painted on the fabric in the appropriate colors, as shown in the following table.

First the constraints of the Triangle of Art, then the balance and harmony of the Divine and Archangelical Names around the Magic Circle protect the Magician. The Energy of any Unbalanced Force, even if it somehow managed to penetrate these defenses, would become so balanced in the process as to render it completely harmless. The Magician's third and final line of defense is the Invocation Ritual preceding

the Evocation summoning the Light Forces of the same category. Thus the Divine, Archangelical, and Angelical Forces that correspond to the Demon protect the Sphere of Sensation of the Magician. During the Evocation the Magician affects the Averse Force, constrained within the Triangle of Art, through sympathy with the Lamen that he or she wears. This Lamen contains all the relevant colors, geometrical figures, Names, and Sigils of the Entity's Hierarchy of Forces, including the Name and Sigil of the Averse Force itself. A complete set of such Lamens appears among the color illustrations contained in this book, one for each of the Sephirothic, Zodiacal, Planetary, and Elemental Forces. The Aim of Evocation The true function of the Magical Evocation of the Averse Forces lies concealed in the Book of the Sncre~i Magic of Abra-Melin the Mage. The Abra-Melin working consists of a six-month Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel of the Magician, followed by several days of the Invocation of the Angels, and finally by several days of the Evocation of the Averse Forces. This is a far different system than those outlined in other Grimoires, most of which seek demonic aid for a laundry list of trivial purposes like finding buried treasure. In the Abra-Melin Ritual, the primary aim of Evocation of the Averse Forces is to solicit an oath of obedience from them to the Magician's Holy Guardian Angel. This is an extremely interesting procedure with far reaching psychological implications. Indeed, this is a magical cure for the malady of which the Eastern Lamas, Yogis, and Mystics accuse us: "That in the West, Consciousness is cut off from its roots." There can be no lotus flower without the root in the dark slime. Our fear and condemnation of the dark and demonic in the West have led to a condition wherein the unconscious, instinctual aspects of the Divine have been diabolized, shunned, and feared. Thus repressed, these Forces take on a twisted sort of autonomy and indeed manifest in a fashion disruptive to consciousness. Therefore, the Magician extracts an oath of obedience from the Demon as the climax of the Evocation. In Rosicrucian Magic, the Demon does not swear this oath to the Ego of the Magician. Such an oath would be like the demonic pacts described in certain Grimoires and would place the Magician's Ego in great peril, likely leading to inflation, obsession, or to a state of mind once described as demonic possession. Furthermore, unlike the Abra-Melin system, the Demon does not even swear its oath to the Magician's Holy Guardian Angel. In Rosi-
crucian Magic, the will of the Magician magnified by the power of the Magic Sword obliges the Demon to swear an oath of allegiance and obedience to the Divine Force corresponding to its own nature and to place its entire Energy at the disposition of the corresponding Archangel. For example, in the Ritual that follows, the Magician obliges the Demonic Spirit of the Planet Saturn, Zazel, to swear allegiance and obedience to the Divine Force of Saturn, YHVH Elohim, and to place its Energy at the disposition of the corresponding Archangel, Tzaphquiel. This magical act unites the conscious and unconscious aspects of Saturn or of that aspect of Psyche corresponding to Saturn. Thus are the Infernal and Averse Forces constrained, contained, and brought into proper relationship with the Divine and Angelical Forces as well as with the consciousness of the Magician. Although the Divine and Angelical Forces remain opposite in nature and irreconcilable with the Infernal and Averse Forces, the Adept nonetheless thereby creates a unified pair of opposites, a dynamic functional polarity of Magical Forces. The Dark Forces are brought into correct relationship with Divine guidance, and Divinity comes to dispose over its dark, chthonic, instinctual power. The Magician thereby grows in awareness, learning to recognize the operation of these Forces in day-to-day life and to liberate him or herself from their blind Force. At length, the Magician learns to act in coordination with Divine guidance and True Will, consciously directing and administrating the Dark Forces like the conductor of a symphony. Thus the Major Adept becomes the conductor of an orchestra of Forces that once conducted him (or her), unseen and unobserved, from the darkness. Thus we may understand what an R. R. et A. C. paper published by Israel Regardie means when it says: "Hear thou, then, a mystery of the knowledge of evil. The 5=6 Ritual of the Adeptus Minor saith that 'Evil helpeth forward the Good.' When the Evil Sephiroth are expelled from the Nephesh into the Evil Persona, they are, in a sense, equilibrated therein. The evil persona can be rendered a great and strong, yet trained, animal whereupon the man rideth, and it becometh a strength unto his physical base of action ...Now then shalt thou begin to understand the saying 'He descendeth into Hell,' and to comprehend in part this strength, and thus to understand the necessity of evil in material creation. Wherefore, also, revile not overmuch the evil forces, for they have a place and a duty, and in this consisteth their

right to be. But check their usurpation, and cast them down unto their plane."1° A Rite of Magical Confession Introduction Many Grimoires include some sort of Magical Confession in the early part of the Rituals. Although many of these confessions appear rather exaggerated to modern eyes, there in nonetheless sound psychological sense in including some sort of Magical Confessionas a prelude to Magical Evocation. Even if it serves no other purpose, it liberates the Magician of guilt and fear, real or imagined, prior to the Evocation. This is important when confronting Averse Forces, since they may attempt to exploit and manipulate the slightest sign of guilt or fear in the Magician. The following Rite of Magical Confession has been used successfully by the author on numerous occasions. It combines the essence of the Grimoire confessions, certain psychological insights, and a Magical Formula for the forgiveness of sins purportedly used by Christ himself, which derives from the Gnostic Gospel, Pistis Sophia." The solitary practitioner may use this example, create his or her own personal confession, or entirely omit such a Rite as a prelude to Evocation. Rite Proclaim: "I confess my sins to God, to my Holy Guardian Angel, and to myself, that I may be free of all guilt, fear, and insecurity. I have at times acted contrary my values. I have even blamed myself for things which were not my doing, nor even my responsibility. I forgive myself for all wrongdoing, real or imaginary. I forgive myself for falling short of my ideals and expectations at times, for acting contrary to my values, and for blaming myself for things beyond my control. As I forgive myself, I ask forgiveness from God and my Holy Guardian Angel as well, that I may perform this Ritual of Magical Evocation at peace with myself and free from all guilt, fear, and insecurity. I Invoke Divine mercy, compassion, and forgiveness in the name of El and of the Sephirah of Chesed.

According to the Gnostics, Christ taught his disciples the following magical formula for the forgiveness of sins. Therefore, that I may stand in purity in the presence of my Angel, let the forgiver of sins come, whose names are these: 'SIPHIREPSNIKHIEU, ZENEI, BER-IMOU, SOKHABRIKHER, EUTHARI, NANAI DIEIS BALMERIKH, MEUNIPOS, KHIRIE, ENTAIR, MOUTHIOUR, SMOUR, PEUKHER, OOUSKHOUS, MINIONOR, ISOKHOBORTHA.' Hear me Invoking you, and purify me of all iniquity, real or imagined.

Thus I am forgiven of all shortcomings and cleansed of all guilt, fear, and insecurity. I stand absolved and purified before myself, before my Angel, and before God." Magical Evocation Ritual to Visible Appearance, Saturn Introduction For Magical Evocation of Averse Astrological Forces, it is particularly important to choose a time for the Ritual when the Planet or Zodiacal Sign of the Working is well dignified in a Rosicrucian Sidereal Chart.lz Cast, therefore, a suitable chart for the time and place of the Ritual. This chart should be within the Circle with the Magician during the Working. Calculate the Planetary Hours prior to the Ritual, since for Astrological Forces, it is particularly important to begin the Ritual during the Day and the Hour of the Planet or of the Planet ruling the Sign. Once the Ritual begins, the Magician should not leave the Magic Circle for any reason whatsoever until the Ritual is concluded, and all of the Forces have been banished. Make necessary arrangements ahead of time to be able to perform the Ritual uninterrupted. Synopsis Altar:

(This procedure is nearly always sufficient to obtain the Oath from the Demon. Should the Demon resist and refuse the Oath, however, rebuke its disobedience and command it by all the Holy Names of the three preceding Conjurations, until the Demon submits and obeys. This latter procedure is certain to succeed). 26. Further proclaim: "And there arose a great red Dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his head, but as it is written 'He descendeth into Hell,' the Light above shines brighter for the Darkness below, and the Evil helpeth forward the Good. Therefore He sealed the heart of Darkness with a Cross of Gold bearing seven times seven petals of a Red Rose.

Long hast Thou dwelt in Darkness, and in Blindness hast thy Force been lost. Receive therefore the vision and the guidance of the Lord, in the Name of the Great Archangel '5~~~139~' [tssf-ke611. 27.

APPENDIX I
Enochian Keys or Calls Introduction Enochian Magic is one of the most controversial aspects of ICosicrucian Magic. Israel Regardie warned that "It is a very powerful system, and if used carelessly or indiscriminately will bring about disaster and spiritual disintegration."' Paul Foster Case considered the Enochian system to be hopelessly tainted, and removed Enochian Magic entirely when he reformulated Golden Dawn material into his B. 0.T. A. Donald Tyson has even suggested that Enochian Magic was revealed to John Dee as a means of setting in motion the destructive forces of the apocalypse, as described in the book of Revelation in the New Testament.2 While there does exist a certain parallel between the English translation of a few of the Enochian Calls and the apocalyptic imagery of the book of Revelation, this imagery may be considered as symbolical of spiritual realities rather than descriptive of physical events. In any case, much of the fear surrounding Enochian Magic has been greatly exaggerated. The author of the present book has been working with the Enochian system, including the Enochian Calls, for many years, with great success, and without fulfilling any of the aforementioned predictions of gloom and doom. The Enochian Calls serve primarily as Energy amplifiers, and when properly used, clearly add great power to Rituals of

Enochian Calls
Ceremonial Magic. Nonetheless, the decision whether or not to employ the Enochian Calls with the Rituals contained in the present book must be left to the discretion, personal responsibility, and risk of each Magician. A primary difficulty in working with Enochian Magic lies in finding a correct or satisfactory means of pronunciation. Names derived from the Enochian Tablets are particularly problematic as consonants therein are frequently so clumped together that such Names are virtually impossible to pronounce. In recognition of this problem, certain rules were laid out by W. Wynn Wescott and S. L. MacGregor Mathers for the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Wescott suggested that each letter should be pronounced separately. Using this method, for example, the consonant clump "pfmng" would be pronounced "pee-ef-em-en-gee." Mathers instead proposed that the first vowel in the name of the phonetically equivalent Hebrew letter be employed. For example, the Hebrew name for phonetical equivalent of the letter "I" is "Lamed." Therefore, Mathers suggests that the vowel "a" be used to render words pronounceable when the letter "I" appears in consonant clumps. Each of these methods are indeed quite useful when working with Names drawn from the Enochian Tablets. Unfortunately, however, the blathers and Wescott rules have tended to be applied far too rigidly and dogn~atically,especially to the Enochian Calls, resulting in endless strings of extraneous syllables. For example, one recent book on the Golden Dawn transliterated the word "Ozongon" from an Enochian Call as "Oh-zoad-oh-noo-goh-noo." Numerous clues to correct pronunciation may be found in original manuscripts%andwritten by John Dee. These manuscripts clearly indicate that the dogmatic application of such rules to the Enochian Calls was neither originally intended by Dee nor by the Angels which dictated them. The Calls properly pronounced and free of surplus syllables remain sonorous in the extreme, reflecting the vibrant beauty of the language of Angels. The Enoshian Calls given in this appendix have been retransliterated from Sloane Manuscript 3191. In preparing this new transliteration, every effort has been made to restore the pronunciation to that most likely intended by John Dee and the Angels. The student who prefers, however, to use the Wescott-Mathers method will find the Calls elsewhere so transliterated by Israel Regardie.4
This fresh transliteration of Sloane MS 3191 has presented numerous difficulties and raised interesting questions. To begin with, the word spacing in the handwritten version of the Angelic Calls is so bad in certain places that is nearly impossible to distinguish where one Enochian word ends and the next one begins. Furthermore, the fashion that the English translations are arranged above the Enochian text in the original manuscript is of little use in overcoming this problem. Every effort has therefore been made to reproduce, as closely as possible, the original word spacing of the Enochian in the transliteration given below. The most fascinating question regarding pronunciation raised by an examination of Dee's handwritten version of the Angelic Calls in Sloane MS 3191 is his copious use of diacritical marks. This mystery appears to have been completely overlooked or ignored by contemporary Enochian scholarship. The primary diacritical marks used by Dee are ', A, and ", and they are used over vowels in ninety-five per cent of all instances. These diacritics have been included in the new transliteration as faithfully as possible. In each instance where an Enochian word is given, the spelling used by John Dee in Sloane 3191 including his diacritical marks has been reproduced side by side with its new transliteration shown in brackets. Unfortunately, however, certain substitutions for the diacritical marks actually used by Dee have been obliged by editorial considerations. The mark A has been substituted for the mark actually used by Dee, which most closely resembles the upward pointing curve used in modern English to indicate a short vowel sound. It is hoped that the inclusion of these diacritical markings shall stimulate additional research regarding their actual meaning. An examination of Sloane MS 3191 by various Professors of modern and classical European languages and linguistics has unfortunately not yet conclusively ascertained the meaning of the diacritical markings. It has been determined, however, that their usage apparently does not match neither that of Latin, Greek, nor any Germanic, Latin, nor Slavic derivative language, neither as they are employed today nor as they were used during the Sixteenth Century. It is therefore likely that the they represent a personal phonetical code devised by Dee for his personal use. The transliteration methodology which has been employed in the present book for all Enochian words is outlined below and has been adhered to in a consistent fashion. The resulting fresh transliteration of Enochian Names and Calls remains steeped in Rosicrucian tradition,

yet as true as possible to the original manuscripts as well. Transliteration Methodology 1 . Every effort has been made to avoid the addition extraneous vowels and syllables. 2 . The phonetic value of each individual letter has been preserved. 3 Wherever necessary, consonants which may be elongated through prolonged vibration as suggested by Wescott (particularly I, m, n, r, v, and z) have been used as separate syllables (avoiding thereby the addition of extraneous vowels). 4. Wherever an extra vowel is absolutely necessary, the first vowel in the name of the equivalent Hebrew letter has been employed as suggested by Mathers. 5. In the choice of vowel sounds, preference has been given to the phonetic values of vowel sounds most frequently used in Hebrew as suggested by Mathers. 6 . The sound of the letter z should be elongated through prolonged vibration. This appears to be the true meaning of the marginal notes made by Dee in Sloane 3191 rather than the literal pronunciation of "z" as "zod," the Elizabethan appellation of the letter
571
as one which closely approximates the English "j" (as in "job"). Attempts have been made to be as consistent as possible with the transliteration of this letter. Patterns revealed by marginal notation have been given priority. In doubtful instances the more sonorous option has been employed. 10. According to marginal notes, the letter "c" is at times to be transliterated as "k" and at other times as "s." Attempts have been made to be as consistent as possible with the tra~lsliterationof this letter. Patterns revealed by marginal notation have been given priority. In doubtful instances the more sonorous option has been employed. 11. In Dee's handwriting the uppercase letters "U" and "V" are consistently rendered as "V." Furthermore, there are numerous instances wherein from one place to another in Sloane MS 3191 Dee also interchanges the lower case letters "u" and "v" as well. Every attempt has nonetheless been made to maintain the phonetic value of the letters "u" and "v" as they actually appear in the manuscript, except in cases where an extra vowel would have then become necessary. In certain instances where an additional vowel is required by the text "v" has been rendered "vh."
U z , ? ' 5
7. The letter Q has been transliterated as " k ~ . In " ~ cases where there is n o vowel follo\ving in the Enochian, it has been transliterated as "kw2." 8. There is no evidence to be found in the manuscripts indicating an Enochian equivalent of the English sounds of the combined consonants "sh," "ph," or "th." They have therefore been transliterated in such a fashion that the phonetic values of the individual letters have been retained. There are numerous instances, however, where marginal notations do suggest that "ch" should be pronounced as a k. In the present transliteration, this "ch" has been given a guttural phonetical value similar to the German "ch" as used in the word "Buch." This has been indicated as an underlined - in the transliterations. "k" 9. There are sporadic instances where marginal notes indicate that the letter "g"should be pronounced as "dg." Obviously "g" has two phonetic values in Enochian: that of a hard g (as in "go") as well 'This apparent nusunderstandulg of the margmal notes has had a profound and unfortunate effect on the history of Enochan prt,nunclat~on. Far from arbitrary, this itas been extrapolated from various margll~alncltdtlons 111 the Sloane MS 3191

The Twelve Banners of ;r?;r' by William Heidrick The name 717' is composed of three different letters, two of which are repeated.' It is possible to rearrange the letters of m7' into twelve different orders or permutations. These may then be associated with other groups of twelve things: the signs of the Zodiac, the Tribes of Israel, the categories of Aristotle, and so forth. For this example, the Twelve Banners of 712' are linked to the signs of the Zodiac, and the results are examined in the light of one of the "traditional" sets of correspondences to 717'. The order of the Banners or permutations of 717' is important. The method is to start with the usual form of the name and then to get a second form by switching the last two letters about. The third banner is obtained from the second by switching the fourth and second letters. The fourth is obtained from the third by switching the last and first letters. The fifth is obtained from the fourth by switching the last two letters about. The rest are obtained by a repetition of the same series of operations. The twelfth banner automatically is changed by this process into the first, and the whole thing repeats in a regular cycle of such permutations. This is also the nature of the annual cycle of the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

T h e Book of the Concourse of the
Planetary and Zodiacal Forces
The Book of the Concourse of Planetary Forces Israel Regardie and other authorities have noted the potential for further integration of Enochian material into Rosicrucian Magic, particularly in the arenas of Planetary and Zodiacal Magic. Regarding Planetary Magic, numerous aspects of the Heptarchical system outlined by John Dee in Sloane MSS 3188 and 3191 have appeared particularly promising. Previous efforts to integrate this material met with but limited success due to divergent systems of ordering the Planets. In the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels,l Dee arranges the Planets in the following Order: Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, and Moon, unto each one of which corresponds the Names of a King, a Prince, and five other Angels. In the following adaptation of Dee's illustration, numbers added around the outer circumference show the attribution of the fortynine Enochian Calls to the Planetary and Subplanetary Forces. An analysis of this attribution follows later in this examination.

The Ritual Magic Manual
Book of the Concourse of Planetary and Zodiacal Forces
The Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels
Jupiter, Mars, Sun, and Mercury. This previously hidden correspondence between the planetary arrangement implicit in the Sigillum Dei Aemeth and the walls of the Vault of the Adepti thus provides the key that enables an effective integration of the two systems. The color illustration of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth included in this book depicts this correspondence through the Planetary colors on the Hexagram and the inner Heptagon. Through the clear link between the Meptarchical Kings attributed to each Planet and seven Angels of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, the Sigillum represents a Tablet of Union for Planetary Forces. The Sigillum thus serves an identical function in Planetary Magic as does the Tablet of Union in Elemental Magic. Furthermore, the Seals around the circumference of the Sigillum and the Names connected with them (i.e., Galas, Gethog, Horlwn, Aaoth, Galethog, Innon, and Thaaoth) likewise correspond with the Planets. These Seals and Names thus serve as a connecting link between the Sigillum Dei Aemeth and the individual Planetary Tablets. Each Planetary Tablet consists of a Seal derived from the circumference of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, the Name of the corresponding Heptarchical King in the first Row, and the forty-two letters that comprise the forty-two Ministers of this King below. Thus every Tablet contains seven Rows of seven letters, which together yield forty-nine Squares. The letters comprising the forty-two Ministers of each Heptarchical King originate by permutation from the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels. The enterprising student can easily work this out for him " or herself by comparing each group of forty-two Ministers with the Table of Forty-nine Good Angels and discovering the patterns through which each group of letters derives. Such a study, however, clearly reveals a number of transcription errors made by Dee in Sloane MS 3191. The Planetary Tablets in this book include corrections of these errors with the noteworthy exception of the Saturn Tablet. The permutation method through which this group of letters originates remains undiscovered. Any apparent pattern would require the significant change of at least eleven of the forty-two letters. Therefore, the letters that appear on the Saturn Tablet in this book match exactly those given by Dee in Sloane MS 3191. This is the most satisfactory arrangement until additional research reveals a better solution for the Saturn Tablet. On each Planetary Tablet, a Traditional Planet rules each Row and Column. The Planet of the Tablet governs the first Row and Column of
Apparently, Dee's Planetary ordering diverges from any arrangement employed by the R. R. et A. C. A careful examination of Sloane MS. 3191, however, reveals a solution to this problem. Luckily, when presenting the forty-two Ministers that serve each King and his Prince, Dee includes the Sigil of an Angel at the top of each manuscript folio.2 The Names of these Angels derive from the Sigillum Dei Aemeth. The Names of the Kings derive from the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels, which associates a Planet with each King. By applying the Planetary correspondence of each King to the Sigillum Dei Aemeth by way of the Sigils and Angels from the manuscript folios, a different planetary ordering becomes apparent, occulted in the Sigillum Dei Aemeth. When orienting the Sigillum Dei Aemeth with the top facing toward the West, this arrangement exactly corresponds to the planetary order in the Vault of the Adepti: Venus, Moon, Saturn, For a transcrlptlon of these MS tollos, see John Dee, The Ei~richlanEvocatron q f D r John Dee, ed and trans Geoffrey James (G~lletteHeptangle, 1984)' pp 44-52

each Tablet. The remaining Planets rule remaining Rows and Columns from left to right and from top to bottom in the order that the Planets appear in the walls of the Vault of the Adepti. According to the King's Scale color attributed to each Planet, this order precisely matches the progression of the colors of the visible spectrum. The King's Scale Color of the Planet that rules the Row determines the color of Squares within each Row. The King's Scale Color of the Planet governing the Column likewise deternines the color of Letters inside the Squares within each Column. Thus each of the forty-nine Squares of any I'lanetary Tablet embodies a uniquely different interplay of Planetary and Subplanetary Forces. The Magician may thus determine the interplay of Forces within each Square at a glance according to color. The following analogy clarifies the relationship between the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels and the individual Planetary Tablets. Imagine that each Planetary Tablet is an independent country. The Table of Forty-nine Good Angels then represents the combined Foreign Mulistries as well as Embassies of each of the Seven countries. The King, as head of State in both foreign and domestic affairs, stands first in his section on the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels as well as on his Planetary Tablet. The Prince is like a Foreign Minister. Although second only to the King in influence at home, the Prince lives out of the country in one of the six Embassies. The Name of the Prince of each country lies not in the same section as his King on the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels but in the section immediately preceding it and following the Name of the King in that section. By analogy, this section is the foreign country where the Prince lives and works in the Embassy. The remaining five An~bassadorslive in the remaining five countries of their Embassies. The Names of these Ambassadors lie on the Table of Forty-nine Good Angels, therefore, in the remaining five sections of the Table where they respectively occupy in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh positions. In the preceding illustration of the Table of the Forty-Nine Good Angels, a small Planetary Glyph immediately preceding each Name indicates the "country of origin of each of these Entities. The Entities depicted on the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels are Archangelic Forces as related to the Planetary Tablets. The Prince and the five Ambassadors, to continue the analogy, occasionally come home from their Embassies abroad. At home they each have a particular area of influence as well.

the Tablet as a whole. Additionally, since each Row of the Tablet represents a Subplanetary Force, the King governs the first Row of the Tablet as well, which bears the Letters of his Name. The Prince and the Ambassadors each governs one of the remaining Rows of the Tablet. Sympathies of the Subplanetary Forces determine these areas of influence. For example, Bormila, the Ambassador of Venus depicted on the Table of Forty-nine Good Angels in the Saturn section, rules the Row of the Venus Tablet bearing the letters LBBNAAU. Saturn governs this Row, which represents the Subplanetary Force, Saturn of Venus. The Entities of the Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels govern of the remaining Subplanetary Rows of the Planetary Tablets in the same fashion. The Table below resumes and illustrates this relationship. Besides these Archangels, an Angel governs each Subplanetary Row of the Planetary Tablets as well. The Names of these Angels are identical with the Names depicted on the individual Rows of the Tablets beginning with the first letter of each line. In the rows bearing the Names of the Heptarchical Kings, the King represents the Angelic as well as the Archangelic Force. Furthermore, an Angel governs each Square of the Planetary Tablets. The Names of these Angels begin with the letter of the Square, continue to the right to the end of the Row, then finish from the beginning of the Row toward the right again, including every letter of the line in the Name. This is identical with the derivation of the Names of the Angels ruling the Servient Squares of the Elemental Tablets. In invoking the Angel of any specific Square of any Planetary Tablet, begin first the Greater Invoking Ritual of the Hexagram for the Planet ruling the Tablet. Next invoke the Archangel and the Angel that govern the Row before invoking the Angel ruling the specific Square. The forty-nine Enochian Calls correspond to the Planets, as well as to the forty-nine Subplanetary Rows of the combined seven Planetary Tablets, according to the arrangement of the Planets given by John Dee in the circular Table of the Forty-nine Good Angels. Calls one through seven correspond with the seven Kings in a clockwise fashion beginning with the Venus section. Calls eight through fourteen likewise correspond with the Princes beginning with the Venusian Prince located in the preceding, Lunar section of the Table. The remaining Calls likewise correspond with the Ambassadors. The Angels communicating with John Dee withheld the First Enochian Call, stating that it appertained only to God and could not be revealed. Dee nonetheless numbers the first Call given by the Angels as the First, resulting in a system of forty-eight rather than forty-nine

Calls. The final Call therefore appears twice Subplanetarily, to compensate for this fact. To fully grasp the planetary attribution of the Enochian Calls, the student should carefully observe the numerical order of the Calls given around the outer circumference of the Table of Forty-nine Good Angels, illustrated at the beginning of this appendix. The First Call additionally rules the Sigillum Dei Aemeth (the Planetary Tablet of Union) as a whole, the Names included in the section of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth attributed unto Venus, and the Sigil of Galas. This Sigil appears on the circumference of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth in the Venus section as well as on the Seal of the Venus Tablet. Calls two through seven moreover rule to the remaining Planetary sections, Sigils, and Names depicted on the Sigillum according to the aforementioned Planetary attributions. When invoking the Name of any Entity from the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, first vibrate the First Call followed by the Call that governs the Planetary section of the Sigillum containing the Name. When invoking any Planetary Tablet or any Subplanetary Row of any Tablet, first vibrate the Call ruling the Planetary Tablet. To invoke any Subplanetary Row of any Planetary Tablet, next vibrate the Call that rules the Subplanetary Iiow. The following Table resumes the above correspondences as related to the seven Planetary Tablets and their forty-nine Subplanetary Rows. Sub- planetary Line of Planetary Tablet

The following illustrations show the correspondences of the Zodiacal Signs and Decans with the Squares of the each Planetary Tablet. These correspondences arise on each Tablet according to the following rules. The Student will understand the rules easier by examining them simultaneously with the illustrations that follow. 1. Place the Planet that governs the Planetary Tablet in the upper left Square. For this square on each Tablet, fill in side three of the Truncated Pyramid with the color of the Planet governing the Tablet. 2. The first Square of each remaining Row and Column corresponds to a Sign of the Zodiac as explained below. To complete the Truncated Pyramid of these Squares, place the Planetary Ruler of the corresponding Sign in side three of the Truncated Pyramid.

For these Squares, place the color of the Planet that rules the Decan" in side three of the Pyramid. 4. Place the Zodiacal Signs in the first Square of the Rows and Columns of each Planetary Tablet according to the correspondence between the Planets ruling the Signs and the Planets governing the Rows and Columns of the Tablet. The Diurnal Signs7correspond to the Rows. The Nocturnal Signs correspond to the Columns. Since the Sun and the Moon rule only one Zodiacal Sign each, Leo occupies the place of the Day House of the Sun and Cancer the place of the Night House of the Moon. Fill the Squares for the Day House of the Moon and for the Ninht House of the Sun with the Diurnal and Nocturnal Signs ruled by the Planet governing the Planetary Tablet. 5. The Zodiacal Decans then correspond to the remaining thirty-six Squares of each Tablet beginning from the Zodiacal Signs initiating each Row and Column. To understand these correspondences, visualize the retnaining thirty-six Squares of any Planetary Tablet divided into four quadrants. In the upper left quadrant, the Diurnal Signs, which each begins a Row, fill in their Decans in degree order from left to right. In the upper right quadrant, the Nocturnal Signs, which each begins a Column, fill in their Decans next from top to bottom. In the lower left quadrant, the remaining Nocturnal Signs fill in their Decan from top to bottom. Finally, in the lower right quadrant, the remaining Diurnal Signs fill in their Decans from left to right. u

attempts to elucidate these correspondences by weaving a tapestry of associations with the Tribes, derived primarily from Biblical sources. These include the children of Jacob, their various Mothers, their order of birth, and the blessings of Moses and Jacob upon the various Tribes. Interestingly, Albert Pike presents a nearly identical exposition of similar associations in Morals And Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry." Mathers then comments upon the various armorial bearings ascribed to the twelve Tribes. This ascription exactly corresponds to that of the twelve ensigns attributed to the twelve Tribes in English Royal Arch Freemasonry.12 Thus it becomes apparent that the source from which the Golden Dawn borrowed this particular set of correspondences is English Royal Arch Freemasonry. John Dee intended a different arrangement, however, implied in a diagram, entitled "Ordo Israelis Dispersi, hoc Estate 1585,"13 illustrated below. Although Dee does not include the Glyphs of the Zodiacal Signs, but rather the numbers one through twelve, his intention is nonetheless easy to deduce. When one assigns the Zodiacal Signs from Aries as one through Pisces as twelve, the resulting attribution of the twelve Tribes of Israel to the Zodiacal Signs exactly matches those given by Cornelius Agrippa in his book on Celestial Magic.l4 Dee clearly intended to attribute the twelve Tribes of Israel as well as the Enochian Zodiacal Kings to the Signs of the Zodiac according to the correspondences used by Agrippa.

The Book of the Concourse of the Zodiacal Forces The successful integration of Enochian material from John Dee into Rosicrucian Zodiacal Magic has historically met with two difficulties. The first impediment arises because John Dee, in "Earthly Knowledge, Aid, and V i c t ~ r y , "attributes ~ the Twelve Tribes of Israel to the Signs of the Zodiac differently than does the R. R. et A. C. The Signs of the Zodiac thus correspond differently with the Enochian Zodiacal Kings in each system. The second difficulty relates closely to the first and concerns the best method of attributing twelve Divine Names from the Elemental Tablets to the Zodiacal Signs. In a lecture to members of the Golden Dawn, entitled "On the Twelve Tribes of Israel and the Twelve Signs of the Z o d i a ~ , S. " ~L. MacGregor Mathers attempts to explain the Golden Dawn correspondences according to the distribution of the twelve Tribes of Israel encamped in the desert as they appear UI the Old Testament.l0 Mathers

Dee's diagram, thus understood, aligns the Zodiacal Signs according to their Elemental Triplicities in each of the four Quarters. The Fire Signs thus find their place in the East, the Earth Signs in the South, the Air Signs in the West, and the Water Signs in the North. This arrangement exactly coincides with the Golden Dawn attribution of the Elements to the four Quarters according to their "Natural position in the Zodiac."15Thus it provides an excellent vehicle for the complete integration of the two systems. The chart below shows the correspondences that the Golden Dawn has traditionally used in this regard. The correspondence between the Enochian Zodiacal Kings and the Zodiacal Signs does not match that intended by Dee, as demonstrated above. Instead, the Golden Dawn correspondences between the Tribes and the Signs derived from Royal Arch Freemasonry, when applied to the above diagram, result in completely different correspondences between the Signs and the Kings.16
Dawn applied this material to the Tablet of Shewbread diagram from the Zelator Grade early in the history of the Order. This was an attempt to integrate Enochian material by reconciling the Shewbread diagram with yet another diagram from Dee, called the Great Circle of the Quarters.lYThe method behind this attempt becomes clearer by including the Zodiacal Glyphs on the banners of Dee's diagram.

The inclusion in these correspondences of twelve Divine Names from the Enochian Elemental Tablets further impeded the successful integration of Enochian material into Rosicrucian Zodiacal Magic.

The Great Circle of the Quarters
This arrangement, although seductive, is seriously flawed. The Elements of the Tablets from which these Divine Names originate do not correspond with the Elemental Triplicities of the Zodiacal Signs. When used in Ceremonial Magic, the failure of this arrangement becomes obvious. For example, it requires the Magician to invoke Sagittarius (a Fire Sign) using a Fire Invoking Pentagram while vibrating ARSL, a Divine Name from the Elemental Tablet of Water. Furthermore, the attribution of the Elements to the Quarters in this arrangement bears no resemblance to anything else in the R. R. et A. C. system. The following diagram illustrates an alternative, superior means of integrating the two systems. The addition of the Zodiacal Glyphs to Dee's original illustration depicts the correspondences Dee intended. The twelve Divine Names from the Elemental Tablets align by placing

these Tablets m the four Quarters according to the "Natural position of the Elements in the Zodiac."' The three Divine Names from each Elemental Tablet then correspond to the Zodiacal Signs according to the position of these three Names on each Tablet. In the resulting correspondences, each Divine Name from the Elemental Tablets corresponds with a Zodiacal Sign of the same Elemental Triplicity. Furthermore, John Dee's and the R. R. et A.

The Names of the twelve Enochian Zodiacal Kings comprise the letters of the Enochian Zodiacal Tablet, included as a color illustration in this book. The Name of each King consists of seveIl letters resulting in twelve Rows and seven Columns, which together yield eighty-four Squares. A Zodiacal Sign governs each Row, and a Traditional Planet governs each Column. The King's Scale Color of the Zodiacal Sign ruling the Row determines the color of Squares within each Row. The Zodiacal Signs' colors progress as do the colors from an artist's palette. The King's Scale Color of the Planet governing the Column determines the color of Letters inside Squares within each Column. The Planetary colors progress as do colors through the spectrum of visible light, which is the same order as the walls of the Vault of the Adepti. Thus each of the eightyfour Squares of the Zodiacal Tablet embodies a uniquely different interplay of Zodiacal and Planetary Forces, which the Magician may discern at a glance according to color. The following illustration shows the correspondences of the Zodiacal Signs and Quinants2 with the Squares of the Zodiacal Tablet. The first Square of each Row corresponds to the Zodiacal Sign of the Row as a whole. The remaining six Squares of each Row consecutively correspond each to one Quinant of the Sign (that is, five degrees). Furthermore, the Decans of the Sign correspond to each consecutive pair of Squares as illustrated below.

An Enochian Zodiacal King governs each Row of the Zodiacal Tablet. The Names of these Kings are identical with the Names depicted on the individual Rows of the Tablets beginning with the first letter of each line. Furthermore, an Angel governs each Square of the Tablet. The Names of these Angels begin with the letter of the Square, continue to the right to the end of the Row, then finis11 from the beginning of the Row toward the right again, including every letter of the line in the Name. This is identical with the derivation of the Names of the Angels ruling the Servient Squares of the Elemental Tablets. When Invoking any Zodiacal Sign or the first Square of any Row of the Zodiacal Tablet, perform the Greater Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram or Hexagram for the Zodiacal Sign, thus invoking the King that governs the Row, then vibrate the Enochian Call that corresponds to the Zodiacal Sign. To invoke the Angel of any specific Square of the Zodiacal Tablet, continue with an invocation of the Angel of the Square itself, additionally vibrating the correct Enochian Call for the Zodiacal Decan attributed to the Square. The following Tables resume the correspondences between the Zodiacal Signs, the Quinants, the Decans, the Squares, and their relationship to the forty-eight Enochian Calls.

APPENDIX V
Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, and Psychotherapy by David Griffin and Cris Monnastre The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis (R. R. et A. C.) are two divisions of an initiatic and magical Order founded by high-ranking Freemasons in England, respectively in 1888 and 1892. Although the exact origins of the Order remain obscure as well as controversial, its primary historical importance lies in its brilliant synthesis of mythical and magical material, from such varied sources as the Fanza Fraternitatis (the first published Rosicrucian document), T h e Egyptian Book of the Dead, Cornelius Agrippa, Tycho Brahe, and John Dee. Salient aspects of the vast corpus of the Order's initiatic and magical material were first revealed in 1937 by the late Dr. Israel Regardie. This material has subsequently impacted most areas of modern magic, as well as many other arenas of spirituality. Israel Iiegardie (1907-1985) stands as an important generational link to the magical rebirth of the late nineteenth century, as well as a pioneer in an early attempt to integrate psychology and magic. Born in 1907, Regardie as a young man knew both Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) and Dion Fortune (1890-1946), two early adepts of the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis, each of whom went on to found their own esoteric fraternities. Regardie was also initiated into the Stella Matutina, an early offshoot of the Golden Dawn. Finally, Regardie's work was groundbreaking as an early attempt to integrate psychology and magic.
646
The Ritual Magic Ma~izlal
When Iiegardie was a young man, he fervently wished to become a magician. He considered Aleister Crowley to be the foremost magician of the period and, having introduced himself to Crowley by means of an admiring letter, began to work as his personal secretary in Paris in 1928. After several years with Crowley, Regardie was forced to leave as the result of a painful rupture with his mentor. The trauma caused by this breach wounded Regardie deeply; he later said it took him nearly seven years to recover from it. Impoverished and confused, Regardie was taken in as a house guest of Dion Fortune, who was living near Glastonbury in southwest Engiand. Fortune was not only a talented magician but a natural clairvoyant as well. Until he died he never forgot her hospitality and generosity during this difficult period. Dion Fortune influenced Regardie in a completely unexpected direction. She had been instrumental in bringing Sigmund Freud's ideas to England and had written a collection of short stories called The Secrets of Dr. Tizzirr~ler.Although she characterized these stories as fiction, she said that Dr. Taverner actually existed and that the stories reflected factual case studies in which psychological and magical processes were linked. It was at Dion Fortune's dinner table that Regardie was first exposed to the ideas of Freud and C. G. Jung. Shortly thereafter, still struggling with the onslaught of emotions stemming from his breach with Crowley, Regardie entered first into Freudian psychoanalysis and later into Jungian analysis. During this phase Regardie became aware of how great a role his own unresolved emotional conflicts from early childhood had played in his rupture with Crowley. Regardie eventually concluded that it was such unresolved infantility that accounted for most of the chaotic group dynamics of earlier esoteric fraternities. This would lead him to insist on the necessity of psychotherapy for anyone seriously practicing any spiritual discipline. Regardie later moved to the US., where he became familiar with the ideas of Wilhelm Reich and entered into Reichian therapy. He also began to correspond with Reich's daughter Eva, which stimulated him to take a serious interest in the mind-body connection and at length to train as a chiropractor. Even tourard the end of his life, Iiegardie continued to respect both Freudian psychoanalysis and the ideas of Jung. He eventually came to believe, however, that Jungian analysis as he had experienced it was lacking in effective technique. He ultimately concluded that verbal therapy of any orientation paled in the light of Reich's bodywork, and
Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, and Psychotherapy
647
that the techniques of ceremonial magic would one day become a powerful adjunct to psychotherapy. As a therapist and a bodyworker, Regardie combined Reich's approach with minor chiropractic adjustments, basic magical techniques, and hatha yoga. In a typical session, Regardie would begin by initiating deep, rhythmic breathing in the client for a considerable period of time. This hyperventilation would create a slightly altered state of consciousness. During this process Regardie would survey various areas of tension on the body and would reduce their tightness with a type of deep and at times painful massage. Both Regardie and Reich felt that unresolved emotional conflicts were stored in the body as tension. Using a physical approach would release blockages so that life energy, which Reich called "orgone," could pass freely through the entire body. During the course of a session, a great deal of emotion would frequently emerge, which the client was encouraged to express. Regardie often related Reichian ideas to the magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was particularly fond of one magical exercise called the Middle Pillar Ritual. In this technique the magician visualizes successive spheres of light at various points above, below, and along the spinal column while vibrating certain words. This generates a certain kind of energy, which, according to Regardie, is identical to Reich's orgone. This energy is then circulated around and through the entire body by means of further visualization. Legitimate esoteric orders have always been primarily intended to provide a context within which initiation may safely and effectively occur. As will be shown here, there are many parallels between initiation and forms of psychotherapy that take into account the spiritual dimensions of growth. Regardie even advised that the two should be considered as complementary processes, and that initiation should always be accompanied by some form of psychotherapy. Regardie of course considered Reichian therapy to be the most useful adjunct to magical work. In view of the current lack of trained Reichian therapists, however, other schools of psychology suitable for work alongside magical training are those that include spiritual growth as a part of their paradigm, such as the Jungian and Transpersonal orientations, Psychosynthesis, and the emerging school of Esoteric Psychology. Why does a candidate for initiation need psychotherapy? Any form of spiritual training, when practiced with enough sincerity and discipline, will eventually activate what Jung calls the complexes of
Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, and Psychotherizpy the personal unconscious. These may be defined as infantile emotional patterns left over from very early childhood that revolve around unresolved parental conflicts. These complexes are symbolized in the digrams in this appendix by the seven-headed dragon. Frequently they are energized by spiritual practices. Uniess the complexes are allowed to emerge into consciousness in a safe and controlled fashion, they can be acted out in dangerous ways. This helps explain why many "spiritual" groups have become dysfunctional and at times even destructive. Admittedly, combining initiation and psychotherapy does involve some difficulties. Whereas psychotherapy is unlikely to harm the effectiveness of an initiation or of any other genuinely spiritual process, not everyone seeking initiation can afford the substantial expense of psychotherapy. Furthermore the average lay person may find it difficult to distinguish an effective therapist from an incompetent one. Unfortunately, inept and destructive psychotherapists are frequently easier to find than capable ones, and the same holds true for initiators and initiating orders. Far too many esoteric groups are primarily motivated by their leaders' needs for money or manipulative control over people's lives. True initiation is a process not unlike that of psychotherapy in that the skill and personal ethics of the initiator are crucial to a successful outcome. Moreover a relationship with an unethical initiator can be as damaging as one with an unethical psychotherapist. Anyone seeking initiation thus needs to be extremely discriminating in the choice of an initiator or order. The seeker also needs to distinguish between initiating orders and personality cults, since far too many spiritual groups have been built around the personalities of charismatic but manipulative leaders. This phenomenon, combined with a disregard for the psychological issues that may arise, accounts for many of the abuses that have plagued the esoteric community. An analysis of the psychological dynamics underlying initiation will help to clarify why such abuses occur. The initiatic process of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn clearly illustrates the dangers as well as the potential of initiation. But let us first consider the primary differences between initiation and psychotherapy. Initiation, as its name suggests, may be defined as a new beginning. In the Golden Dawn system, the initiatic process has a magical as well as a psychological component. The magical component may be described as the systematic awakening or ignition of certain forces or en-
649
ergies in the "Sphere of Sensation" of the initiate. (The Sphere of Sensation is the term used by the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis to describe what is commonly called the energy body or the aura.) This process requires an initiator in whom these forces are already awakened and active, since initiation occurs through an actual transmission of energies. Thus from a magical perspective, the relationship between the initiator and the candidate is crucial. In this sense genuine self-initiation, if not altogether impossible, is at least extremely difficult to achieve. It is nonetheless possible, although difficult, to accomplish much of this magical aim of initiation through systematically and repeatedly invoking the correct magical energies using ceremonial magic Although much has been written about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, almost nothing has been said about the overall initiatic process in which the Golden Dawn is but the first step. From the beginning, this system was conceived as being composed ten grades, each one corresponding to a Sephirah on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, and of three degrees, each one corresponding to an entire order. Each successive order is veiled from the previous one by the veils of Isis and Nephthys (called Paroketh).

The first degree and order consist of the curriculum and cycle of initiations of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The grades of the first degree begin with the Neophyte initiation and correspond to the Sephiroth of Malkuth, Yesod, Hod, and Netsach. The second degree and order are those of the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis. The Grades of the second degree begin with the probationary initiation of the Portal of the Vault of the Adepti and correspond to the Sephiroth of Tiphareth, Gevurah, and Chesed. The third degree and order are those of the Ordo Argentei Astri (commonly referred to as the third order). The grades of the third order correspond to the Sephiroth of Binah, Chokmah, and Kether, and begin with the probationary initiation of the Portal of the Abyss (which corresponds to Non-Sephirah of Daath). In the first order, the magical forces are awakened, activated, and balanced in the candidate by the initiator in the rituals themselves. These forces are those of the traditional elements; Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit, which are symbolized by a pentagram. Beginning in the second order, however, the individual practice of ceremonial magic greatly enhances this process. The Second Order work primarily activates the forces of the seven traditional planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, which are symbolized by a hexagram. Furthermore, in the second order, the adept learns to independently work with the elements through a series of sub-grades, which further differentiates these forces in the adept's aura. The third order primarily activates the forces of the signs of the zodiac, as well as alchemical Salt, Sulfur, and Mercury, which are symbolized by a triangle. Thus the work of the third order includes alchemy as a psycho-spiritual process as well as ceremonial magic. Having thus examined the magical aspect of initiation, we may now understand the significance of the symbol of the Rose Cross (shown below) used by the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis. Though its imagery is too intricate to be fully discussed here, we might point out that this Rose Cross symbolically depicts the forces awakened in the energy body of a fully initiated adept. It also illustrates the harmony and equilibrium of their operation, as represented by the four elements and the seven traditional planets.

The three concentric rings of Hebrew letters in the center of the figure are divided into groups of three, seven, and twelve letters each. This distribution is taken from the Sepher Yetzirah or "Book of Formation" of the ancient Qabalists. The innermost ring corresponds to the first order and the forces of the elements. The second ring corresponds to the second order as well as to the seven traditional planets, while the third correlates to the third order and the signs of the Zodiac. Let us go on to examine some of the dynamics of psychotherapy in order to better understand initiation from a psychological perspective. According to certain schools of psychology, a phenomenon called "transference" figures prominently in effective psychotherapy. Transference may be defined as the process of becoming conscious of our unresolved parental conflicts. During the course of psychotherapy, the client begins to see the therapist as embodying these unresolved conflicts. This occurs as the client projects the contents of his or her own un-
652
lsrael Regardie, The Golden Dazun, and Psyclzotherapy
The Ritzial Magic Manual
conscious onto the therapist in much the same fashion as a film is projected onto a blank screen. Transference also plays a crucial role in the process of initiation, except that here it is the initiator who becomes the screen for the projections. This is one reason why initiation may be such an extremely effective tool in facilitating personal as well as spiritual development. But it also explains why initiation in the hands of inept or unscrupulous leaders can lead to heartbreak, disappointment, or even death and destruction. Moreover, because the transferential relationship with another human being is a central factor in initiation as well, genuine selfinitiation is as impossible as self-administered psychotherapy. , As we have already mentioned, psychotherapy concurrent with initiation is a good idea, even if it is not always possible. But certain special circumstances do need to be considered. Certainly the therapist should be able to regard spirituality as a healthy phenomenon; ideally he or she should have experience working with spiritual issues. Although the therapist and the initiator do not need to consult each other, they must maintain healthy boundaries in their relationship with the initiate. It is never a good idea for a therapist to discuss case material outside the therapeutic relationship. Unfortunately some therapists tend to discuss this material with colleagues, supervisors, even sometimes at cocktail parties, all the while believing that they are behaving ethically because they only use the client's first name. Both the therapist and the initiator need to understand from the outset that such discussions must not occur. Initiation may be likened to an alchemical process: in order to be most effective, the vessel - the relationships with therapist and initiator - needs to be hermetically sealed. This is the primary reason that such great importance is given to secrecy and silence in esoteric matters. Silence creates power and pressure, which ultimately produce profound spiritual and psychological transformation. Whether the primary transference occurs with the initiator or the therapist is relatively unimportant. One never consciously decides to create a transferential relationship. It happens completely unconsciously, taking place with the person one is most able to fall in both love and hate with. What matters most is that it occur and that the negative projections and feelings be allowed to emerge and be safely worked through.

The earliest phase of the initiatic process of the first degree is symbolically depicted in a diagram called "The Garden of Eden before the Fall" (shown above). This diagram, which is presented to the initiate in the 3=8 grade of Practicus, represents a stage of primordial innocence. At this stage the candidate typically sees the initiator in an unrealistically positive light as a sort of ideal or perfect parent. In this diagram, Eve, the female figure shown at the bottom of the Tree of Life, represents the ideal mother (and the Qabalistic Nephesh or instinctual nature); she is depicted supporting the pillars of Jachin and Boaz. Adam, representing the ideal father (and the Qabalistic ruach or the rational aspect) stands above her with his chest at the station of Tiphareth, arms outstretched towards Chesed and Gevurah. This diagram represents the bliss of innocence: the candidate is living in a state of bliss because of his or her contact with the "ideal parents" as projected onto the initiator. This process is not unlike lung's portrayal of falling in love. According to Jung, when men fall in love,
655
The Ritual Mrzgic Manuul
Israel Regardie, The Golden Diiwn, and Psychotlzerapy
they project their own feminine side or anima onto the beloved, while women project the inner masculine, which Jung calls the animus. This is the stage that is most susceptible to abuse by inept or unscrupulous initiators. Allegations of sexual harassment, manipulation, and other forms of abuse have surfaced, not merely surrounding leaders of occult orders, but in the mainstream religious community as well. As Jim Jones, David Koresh, and the Order of the Solar Temple have proven, this abuse of trust may even have fatal consequences. Certain safeguards, such as laws enforcing ethical guidelines, have been set up for psychotherapy. But as yet there are no such laws protecting initiates in esoteric fraternities, though emotional, physical, or sexual abuse in these areas can be just as damaging. The decision to enter initiation may therefore be likened to the decision to enter psychotherapy, and the choice of a suitable initiator is at least as important as that of a good psychotherapist. In both choices individuals should be extremely judicious. A further examination of the diagram of "The Garden of Eden before the Fall" reveals the illusory nature of the relationship with the ideal parents. One notices first of all the absence of the Supernal Sephiroth (Kether, Binah, and Chokmah) on this Qabalistic Tree of Life: they are symbolized only in potential by the winged female figure at the top of the Tree. This figure symbolizes the neshamah, or Divine Feminine, of the Qabalists. Furthermore Eve (the female figure at the foot of the Tree) stands upon a coiled seven-headed dragon. This dragon has a long history. It is to be found as early as the Paleolithic period in the form of the serpent associated with the consort of the Great Mother Goddesses as well as with her Tree of Life. This same serpent appears later in the Egyptian myths of Ra's struggles with the serpent-fiend Apep. In this same negative light it is encountered yet again in the New Testament book of Revelation. Nonetheless the serpent remains an important symbol of resurrection and the renewal of life, since it sheds its skin on a regular basis. When interpreted psychologically, this serpentine dragon represents what Jung calls the complexes of the personal unconscious. The unfolding initiatic process inevitably leads to the situation represented by the diagram entitled "The Garden of Eden after the Fall" (depicted below). This diagram is shown to the candidate during initiation into the 4=7 grade of Philosophus. Here the heads of the dragon arise into consciousness; as shown in the diagram, they attach themselves to the seven lower Sephiroth on the Tree of Life. At this phase the initiate's ego is assaulted by his or her personal complexes.
This is a necessary process for the awakening psyche, but it tends to be an unpleasant one.
654
How many love affairs have ended in disappointment or tragedy? Both the psychotherapeutic and initiatic processes further expose the unresolved conflicts of early childhood. The beloved, who once was seen in an imaginarily positive light, now becomes invested in the opposite fashion. The Queen of Heaven becomes the Hag, and the Fairy Prince becomes the Ogre. The same person who once "could do no wrong" suddenly "can do no right." These negative projections are, of course, as unrealistic as the positive projections of the previous phase. It is crucial to the outcome of the initiation that the complexes of the personal unconscious be allowed to manifest in a safe and controlled way within the container of the relationship with the initiator. The emergence of these complexes can cause outbursts of irrational behavior in the candidate. This can be quite traumatic for the initiator as well as the candidate, as both frequently find themselves embroiled in the unresolved infantile drama of the candidate's early childhood. At this stage the skill of the initiator becomes crucial. He or she needs to be extremely conscious of what is happening, and sometimes must have
657
The Ritual Magic Manzral
Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn, and Psychotherapy
almost superhuman patience to endure the candidate's outbursts. This situation is complicated by what psychologists call "countertransference," in which the initiator's own personal complexes are projected onto the candidate. Initiators and therapists should never assume that they have become completely conscious of their own inner processes; no matter how much one has grown, one is always vulnerable to the further emergence of one's own unconscious material. The initiator may even erupt into outbursts of irrational behavior, which may further escalate the situation. This phase of initiation is also fertile ground for abuse by inept or unethical initiators, who may either be blinded by their own complexes or tempted to maintain the positive transference of the first stage. The adoration of students can easily seduce an initiator into attempting to maintain the illusory role of the charismatic, idealized patriarch or matriarch. But this would be poison to successful initiation and spiritual growth as well as to the health of any legitimate spiritual organization. Initiators must therefore resist this tendency at all costs; otherwise the initiation cannot progress beyond the phase symbolized by "The Garden of Eden before the Fall." Furthermore, the negative transference inevitably arrives! If a leader is unable or unwilling to become a focal point for these unpleasant projections, he or she will find some other object for them to be projected onto. This leads to extremely unhealthy situations. Unscrupulous leaders are frequently obliged to find or create one or more scapegoats to serve as objects of the negative projections. This can lead to a pattern of abuse within, and expulsion from, the group. In the worst cases it leads to growing paranoia, as the scapegoat is projected onto an imaginary enemy or even society at large. Waco, Texas and Cheiry, Switzerland have become monuments to the danger of this dynamic. At this point the esoteric community has placed far too little emphasis on personal growth and group dynamics. Yet it must be remembered that any time one comes into contact with spiritual energies, the contents of the personal unconscious will become activated as well. Hence esoteric orders need to facilitate personal growth alongside spiritual growth. The dynamics of personal interactions within these groups needs to be examined as well. Throughout the first degree, the candidate was gradually entering into an entirely new relationship with his or her own Higher Self. In the early stages of the initiation, this relationship manifested chiefly through the unconscious projections onto the initiator. In the Portal
Ritual of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the seeds were planted to enable the relationship of the candidate with the Higher Self to become fully conscious. This birth into consciousness then occurs with the entry into the Ordo Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis during the initiation into the 5=6 grade of Adeptus Minor. In the early part of this ritual, the candidate is symbolically bound to a cross (which symbolizes the elements). This voluntary subordination of the ego to the Higher Self at length liberates the ego from the onslaught of the unconscious complexes. This is symbolized by the dropping away of the heads of the dragon from the Sephiroth (shown below).
656
After this stage of the ritual, the candidate is brought inside the Vault of the Adepti for the first time. This vault, a highly charged magical chamber, is the symbolic burial place of Christian Rosenkreutz (Frater CRC). As a place where the initiate is reborn, the vault thus partakes not only of the symbolism of tomb but that of the womb as well. Once inside the vault the candidate is led to the head of the Pastos, the symbolic sarcophagus of Christian Rosenkreutz. When the lid of the Pastos is eventually removed to reveal the hidden figure of the
658
The Ritual Magic Manila1
Chief Adept (the initiator) inside, the candidate symbolically becomes illuminated by an influx of consciousness coming from the Higher Self. The new adept thus begins to enter into an entirely new and fully conscious relationship with this Higher Self (as symbolized in the following diagram).

Bibliography Works on the Golden Dawn Magical System
During this investigation we have gained an understanding of the psychological as well as the magical processes underlying legitimate initiation. This, however, is not the end. Many years ago Regardie called for further exploration of the integration of psychology and magic. In fact, one might call the area of overlap between these two fields "Esoterlc Psychology." This inquiry has been an attempt to make a small contribution to this emerging new field. The work, however, is just beginning. Standing at the vantage point of the end of the millennium, ten years after Regardie's death, we feel obliged to repeat his appeal for further research: "Whoever does succeed in welding these two [psychology and magic] indissolubly together, to him mankind will ever be grateful."
