The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram
The Kabbalistic Cross
Visualise yourself getting larger and larger, taller and taller, until you tower
above the room you are in. Continue this growing visualisation until the city
you live in is small beneath your feet. See the continent as tiny compared to
your majestic body. Now even the Earth is small beneath your feet.
However, no matter how small the Earth is, it is still firm and solid beneath
your feet, anchoring you to the ground. You will not float away.
Next, visualise yourself growing so large that the planets of our solar system are
like tiny toy rubber balls spinning near your feet. Soon, you cannot even see
them anymore. Now visualise a dot of light coming from somewhere far
above your head. Know that this is only a tiny bit of the light from this
source, and if you saw the full brightness of this light you would
immediately be blinded and quite possibly go insane. This tiny bit of the
endless, limitless light forms a brilliant white sphere of pulsating light just
above your head. It is nine inches in diameter, about the size of a dinner
plate. It is brighter than ten thousand suns, but still only a tiny portion of the
source of this divine, spiritual white light. Point to that sphere above your
head with your dagger or finger and "bring it down" (by pointing) to your
forehead, just above and between the eyes. Next, visualise this brilliance
filling your head with diving light. While pointing to your forehead vibrate:
Ah-TAH
Bring the point of the dagger (or your finger) firmly down your body until
you are pointing toward the ground. Your hand with the blade should be
covering your groin. As you do this, visualise the light in your head coming
down along with the blade (or finger), down through your body and beyond
your feet down to eternity. Vibrate: Mahl-KOOT.
Now bring your finger up to your right shoulder. As you do this, visualise
the beam of white light running down the centre of your body form a beam
from the heart area out to your right, past your finger at your right shoulder.
See this beam of light extend to the end of the universe, and beyond. Focus
on this beam and vibrate: Vih-G'Boo-RAH.
Move the point of your finger horizontally to your left shoulder. As you do,
visualise the beam of white light now extending through infinite space to
your left. As you focus on this beam of light vibrate: Vih-G'Doo-LAH.
Clasp your hands at your chest as if praying. If you are using a dagger, the
point should be up, not pointing away from you, nor to the sides or down.
Visualise within your chest, at the point covered by your folded hands, a
brilliant golden glow. Vibrate: Lih-Oh-LAHM, Ah-MEN.
The Formulation of the Pentagrams
Going to your left, move around to the front of your altar, to the edge of the
space of your circle so that you are at the east edge of the circle and facing
away from the middle of the circle where your altar stands. In other words,
you are at the east and facing east. Here, draw a pentagram, (shown below).
Be sure to visualise the figure as a flaming gas-jet blue pentagram as you
draw.
Inhale through your nose. As you do, feel the energy flow from the ends of
the universe through your nose and body, and down and out of the bottoms
of your feet to the centre of the Earth. As you inhale, both hands should be
raised to the sides of your head by your ears. Your right index finger should
be pointing forward. Your left hand, which should have remained at your
side until now, is drawn into a similar position by your left ear, the index
finger pointing forward, the rest of the fingers closed into a fist.
Step forward with the Left foot. At the same time thrust your hands forward
so that they point at the exact middle of the glowing blue pentagram in front
of you. As you do this you should exhale and feel the energy come back up
your body, out your arms and hands, through the pentagram and to the ends
of the universe. You should use the entire exhalation to vibrate the God
Name: Yud-Heh-Vahv-Heh.
Bring your hands back to your ears while bringing your left foot back to its
original position.
Put your left hand down by your side and point to the
centre of the pentagram with your right forefinger. Now trace a line in the air
at the height of the centre of the pentagram as you move in a clockwise
direction around the edge of your circle's space. You should go 90 degrees
so that you end up in the south, facing south. As you trace the line in the air
you should visualise a brilliant white light emanating from the tip of your
finger or blade.
At the south, repeat parts 1 and 2 or Step (a), but vibrate:
Ah-Doh-NYE.
Repeat as above, but move to the west and vibrate: Eh-Heh-YEH.
Repeat as above, but move to the north and vibrate: AH-Glah.
Compete the circle by connecting a white line from the north to the east
where you began. Then, moving in the same clockwise direction, come back
behind the altar and in front of the chair as when you started the ritual. You
should once again be facing to the east.
Now visualise the brilliant white circle expanding up and down to form a
sphere above, below and all around you. What you have done is create a
sphere in brilliant white all around you with electric blue pentagrams at the
quarters which have been charged and sealed with names of God.
The Evocation of the Archangels
Spread your arms straight out to the sides, so that your body forms a cross. If
you have a dagger, the point should be up. Take a second or two to once
again feel the energies flowing through you and making you a brilliant cross
of light at the centre of the universe. The cross also represents the four
archetypal elements: Air, Earth, Fire and Water.
Visualise a figure on a hill in front of you. The figure is dressed in yellow
robes which have some purplish highlights. The figure carries a caduceus
wand and the figure's robes wave in the wind. You should "feel" a breeze
coming from behind the figure. Say, Before me, Rah-fay-EL.
Visualise a figure behind you, dressed in blue with some orange highlights.
The figure holds a cup and is surrounded by waterfalls. Try to feel the
moisture in the air. Say, Behind me, Gahb-ray-EL.
To your right visualise a figure dressed in scarlet with green highlights. The
figure holds a flaming sword and you should feel heat coming from this
direction. Say, On my right hand, Mee-chai-EL (The Ch should sound like
the Scottish "loch")
To your left visualise a figure dressed in greens and browns on a fertile
landscape. The figure holds some sheaves of wheat. Say, And on my left
hand Ohr-ree-EL.
Move your left foot out to your left and visualise another beautiful blue
pentagram all around you, outlining your body. Say, For about me flames
the pentagram...
Visualise a golden hexagram, a six pointed star sometimes called a Jewish
star, within you, right where your heart is. Say,... And within me shines the
six-rayed star.
Now, repeat the Kabbalistic Cross of the LBRP, and you are done.
