agram in different ways. the golden dawn system for invoking and banishing the elements is, in my opinion, unnecessarily complicated, but i will describe it here since it is employed almost universally in modern magic, and many readers will want to learn it. during rituals, it is customary to inscribe the pentagram upon the air in the direction that is associated with the element being invoked or banished. to invoke is to call forth, and to banish is to send away. pentagrams are inscribed with the right index finger, or more formally with a ritual instrument of projection such as the wand or sword. modern witches use a dagger called an athame. the correct way of drawing the pentagram is seldom taught, and perhaps is not that widely known. it was described in one of her books by the late di

. invoking and banishing any element is done by beginning to draw the pentagram at the point of that element. to invoke, draw the pentagram clockwise, to banish, draw the pentagram counterclockwise. that is the entire method for actually inscribing the various pentagrams. you can see that it is considerably more logical and more simple than the method of the golden dawn. even spirit is invoked or banished by a single pentagram. none of the pentagrams is constructed in the same way as any other pentagram- all are unique. in order to learn how to invoke and banish using the pentagram, i suggest that you practice drawing all ten forms with pencil and paper. you must get to the point where you can draw any form with a continuous line without having to think about it. this requires some practic

was common in the medieval period and continues to this very day. the church teaching that masses are effective even when the priests performing them are not in a state of grace only serves to underline the point that the rite has a magical efficacy of its own. one of the early records of the power of the mass being turned against other human beings comes from the council of toledo, which in 694 banished certain priests and a client who had paid them to perform a mass for the dead in which a living rather than a deceased person was named. the client apparently believed that pronouncing the words give him eternal rest. o lord (requiem aeternam dona ei, domine) would effectively deliver a mortal blow. the same tactic was tried again and again in later centuries. as a variant on this approac

eve to the church he does not intend to brand the latter institution as the direct cause of the fall of man. for some inexplicable reason, however, religion has ever regarded intellectualism--in fact every form of knowledge--as fatal to man's spiritual growth. the ignaratitine friars are an outstanding example of this attitude. in this ritualistic drama--possibly derived from the egyptians--adam, banished from the garden of eden, represents man philosophically exiled from the sphere of truth. through ignorance man falls; through wisdom he redeems himself. the garden of eden represents the house of the mysteries (see the vision of enoch) in the midst of which grew both the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. man, the banished adam, seeks to pass from the outer court

orgaine. the story is to the effect that adam, feeling the end of his life was near, entreated his son seth to make a pilgrimage to the garden of eden and secure from the angel on guard at the entrance the oil of mercy which god had promised mankind. seth did not know the way; but his father told him it was in an eastward direction, and the path would be easy to follow, for when adam and eve were banished from the garden of the lord, upon the path which their feet had trod the grass had never grown. seth, following the directions of his father, discovered the garden of eden without difficulty. the angel who guarded the gate permitted him to enter, and in the midst of the garden seth beheld a great tree, the branches of which reached up to heaven. the tree was in the form of a cross, and st

being to offer further guidance and present a serious form of shadow magick and sorcery which has long been kept hidden. the black art is not that of devil worship, but of hidden knowledge. the key to this lies in the depths of the subconscious, the will to explore and suggest, to destroy and create. the daemonic elementals which breed in the subconscious mind from the time of birth and on can be banished and often made useful to the fighting individual. there is no devil worship or ill intent involved for the worker of shadow magick, it is up to the individual which path they take. i have always intended, from the beginning to present balance and insight into a dangerous psychic path. that of the shadow sorcerer is not that of mental weakness; however it often tests the mind on ever possi

self. the greatest obstacle of the abyss is the demon choronzon, whom the sorcerer must pass in order to enter the abyss. choronzon is considered a demon due to it s non- form and devouring nature. it is a vampire spirit, awaiting the moment to enter the subconscious and destroy it from the inside out. once choronzon has laid hold, it keeps its hold until death and beyond. 27 27 choronzon must be banished once it is passed through when great vampiric rites are conducted, such a demon should not be let linger, nor any communication be granted due to the lying and false nature of the essence. choronzon seizes upon every point of the self which is confused, in conflict, sick or twisted. it can take and build upon any form of hate, self-pity, depression and madness. this is why the sorcerer wh

und such elementals are wonderful for a short evening of dreams and waking, however beyond that would prove rather dangerous, even to the point of obsession. such spirits should be controlled by the sorcerer, not the other way around which often befalls unbalanced magickians. the wizard realizes that servitors are only in existence to serve the will of the warlock himself, and that they should be banished and reabsorbed once their purpose is served. incubi/succubi have long been connected with vampires. the reason for this is their draining power during the dreams in which they stalk. these demons enter the dreaming mind of the victim and slowly drain them of chi or astral blood while sexually exciting them. such beings can prove useful if proper defenses are secured, or may be directed at

l. man's ugly habit of elevating himself by defaming others is an unfortunate phenomenon, yet apparently necessary to his emotional well-being. though these precepts are diminishing in power, to virtually everyone some group represents evil incarnate. yet if a human being ever thinks that someone else considers him wrong, or evil, or expendable in the affairs of the world, that thought is quickly banished. few wish to carry the stigma of villain. but wait we are experiencing one of those unique periods in history when the villain consistently becomes heroic. the cult of the anti-hero has exalted the rebel and the malefactor. because man does little in moderation, selective acceptance of new and revolutionary themes is nonexistent. consequently all is chaos, and anything goes, however irrat

ys we occupy ourselves in this process of cleansing and consecration; and this again is confirmed in the actual ceremony. the cleansed and consecrated magician takes his cleansed and consecrated instruments into that cleansed and consecrated place, and there proceeds to repeat that double ceremony in the ceremony itself, which has these same two main parts. the first part of every ceremony is the banishing; the second, the invoking. the same formula is repeated even in the ceremony of banishing itself, for in the banishing ritual of the pentagram we not only command the demons to depart, but invoke the archangels and their hosts to act as guardians of the circle during our pre-occupation with the ceremony proper. in more elaborate ceremonies it is usual to banish everything by name. each e

me, or kiss of shame. the devil itself, resembling the o can achieve autoerotic intercourse with the combination of z, meaning inverse intercourse with the devil the very act of creation. the rite of thanatos vel babalon, as developed by michael dewitt is one of the most powerful descriptions of the essence of babalon that could be described. the ritual itself is opened with the quadriga sexualis banishing ritual and leads into the invoking of the force of darkness. the temple itself would be decorated in images of death, skulls and bones and a large black coffin in which one of the female magicians would be laying. it begins with the priest of thanatos invoking: now listen to the voice of thanatos known to men as the face of death, whom they worship with howling and shattering teeth. all

spirit beings, from deities to elemental spirits. most rituals are designed to invoke one or more of these deities and the intrusion of unwanted entities would disturb the focus of the ritual. in such settings, the circle is seen as a barrier that protects the ritual and keeps entities attracted by the power raised by the ritual from disturbing its fruitful conclusion. the ritual is closed with a banishing act dispersing any attending entities. modern rituals are also seen as acts that raise, focus, and direct energy to a specific purpose such as the healing of someone or the gaining of some particular favor. in such thinking, the sphere or circle is seen as a container that holds the energy so raised until the ritual s climax, when it is sent forth to do its work. in modern neo-paganism

m n o the following are the names from the tablet of union used in the supreme ritual of the pentagram. note: these names are not vibrated when one is performing the supreme ritual of the pentagram without a tablet of union. as a rule, enochian names are only vibrated when a tablet of union and the four watchtower tablets are present. the following are the elemental pentagrams, both invoking and banishing. 8 b b ynda ynda e e \yhla \yhla k k hwhy hwhy la la 9 observe that the currents descendeth from the to the l in the invoking pentagram of l. in the banishing pentagram, the current is reversed. the kerubic sigil of b should be drawn in the center of the pentagram. let the adept be aware that the banishing pentagram of l may be traced as a potent symbol of protection between thee and any

stubborn zodiacal cases, it may be more effective to use the hexagram ritual. the pentagram, when performed effectively, unites a force, a current, a color and a sound. each angle of the pentagram is assigned certain hebrew divine names from the angelic tablets. this can be seen in the expanded diagram at the beginning of this lesson. these divine names must be vibrated with the invoking and the banishing pentagram. let the adept again be reminded that the enochian names are not vibrated without the presence of the tablet of union and the four watchtower tablets. remember to invoke the forces of the four elements in the four quarters, begining in the east, then moving to the south, the west and then the north, taking due care to complete the circle in the east. all invocations and banishi

ine. the unicursal hexagram, which was developed by g.h. frater s.r.m.d. is used for specific enochian workings where a continuous line is to be employed. let the adeptus minor be aware that in all workings of our order, in group or privately, the classical hexagram is preferred. all invoking hexagrams are to be traced following the course of the sun. therefore, trace the line from left to right. banishing hexagrams are traced contrary to the course of the sun. when the adept is invoking a planet using the hexagram, it is traced in two triangles. the first triangle commences from the angle of the planet. put simply, begin from the sephira the planet is assigned to. the second triangle of the hexagram commences from the opposite angle of the first triangle. the symbol of the planet is trace

t together. again, we will not emphasize the building of the wand itself as there are several different methods that people have employed and all of them are very good. when the adept wishes to banish in the microcosm as in the l.b.r.p. he should hold the black end, when you wish to banish in the macrocosm as in the b.r.h, hold the wand by the white end afterwards point the black end and draw the banishing forms thereof. in addition to the other symbology of the wand, the white end is more akin to the macrocosm, the black end is more akin to the microcosm. let us emphasize that the white portion of the lotus wand is generally for invoking, and the black portion is used for banishing, but this is not always the case and many immature adepts believe that the white end is always used for invo

e other symbology of the wand, the white end is more akin to the macrocosm, the black end is more akin to the microcosm. let us emphasize that the white portion of the lotus wand is generally for invoking, and the black portion is used for banishing, but this is not always the case and many immature adepts believe that the white end is always used for invoking and the black end is always used for banishing. a general rule, this will stand fast. the white end may be used to banish by tracing the opposing banishing symbol of the force of which you are trying to banish. so, for example, when banishing a tough elemental of o, the opposing elemental force would be that of n. let the adept also realize that the white portion is always pointed toward the direction or quarter that you are invoking

en face their particular direction. if you are invoking the higher spiritual natures, it is important to hold the white band upwards. as a matter of fact, it is a sacrilege to hold the white band downwards, for that would provide the infiltration of evil forces through the lotus wand and into the adept's sphere of sensation. so, the white end must always be higher than the black end. when you are banishing, you would point the 3 black end to the quarter that you are banishing from. for example, even if you were to use your lotus wand in the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram, you would use it to trace the particular pentagrams that are attributed. remember to always keep the white end a bit higher than the black end. this is why we emphasize a smaller wand of 24"-36. it should not be

gical techniques to the (then) new methcds and hypotheses of psychoanalysis. since the object of study in both magic and psychology was the human mind, it was regardie's belief that magic could be regarded as a subdivision of the science of psy &logy. such a thing was quite unheard of in 1938. in fact, regardie postulated that psychotherapists could use the techniques of magic, such as the lesser banishing ritual and the middle pillar exercise of the golden dawn, in a d i n i d setting for the benefit of patients. goal of both magic and psychotherapy is the his or her growth and health on every and psychological. magic, however, well-being. regardie sought to tear down the been built up between the ancient art and the regardie's die middle pillar was a milestone these ideas long before the

rations of students. regardie's classic book, the middle pillar, introduces a psychological perspective on magic and occultism and presents an intelligent and viable rationale promoting the practice of certain magical techruques, the effects of which can be compared to the processes of analytical psychology. regardie gave readers clear directions on how to perform the qabalistic cross, the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram, and the middle pillar exercise, along with its accompanying methods of circulating the light, the vibratory formula, and the building up of the tree of life in the aura. regardie, more than any other individual, saw the vast potential of the middle pillar exercise, whch was first published in a rather incomplete form in the manuscirpts of the stella matutina. reg

ceptional person, and comprise the training of the human psyche to complete spiritual mastery. splendid vision though this is, an ideal goal for the few, it is nevertheless outside the capacity of most of us who are obliged to live the ordinary life of the twentieth century man or woman. the preliminary techniques we may consider under several headings, viz: 1. the qabalistic cross. 2. the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram. 3. the formulation of the middle pillar and the tree of life in the sphere of sensation.25 4. the methods of circumarnbulation,26 and the vibratory formula of the middle pillar. 5. ceremonial magic. the tree of life 41 for the moment, i shall content myself with presenting a bird'seye view of each so that a picture of the entire scheme may be envisaged. the first

ction of the ego has its correct place in the scheme of things. thus it is that the qabalistic cross is the ideal means of placing the ego under the direct surveillance of the yechidah, the divine will in every human being. it is an excellent method for rendering the consciousness porous and susceptible to the dictates of the more responsible and humanitarian levels of the unconscious. the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram, described as the second method, is the sequel to the former exercise. it is a technique designed to eliminate from the psychic sphere those interior elements which are undesirable. by an effort of the imagination, the student visualizes those qualities or conflicts or psychic lesions which are not required. by means of vibrating certain sonorous sounds called anc

of value only to him in whom that insight awakes by dint of persistent effort. for no one else has it the least validity. the qabalistic cross provides the preamble as well as the peroration to another exercise. ths is named the lesser banishmg ritual of the pentagram. the rubric of it is as follows: 1. perform the qabalistic cross. 2. face east. stretch out right hand holding a dagger.13 trace a banishing earth pentagram.14 vibrate the word "yhvh (pronounced "yod-heh-vav-heh).l5 (see figure 3, page 59) 3. still holding out hand and dagger, turn to the south.16 trace another pentagram in precisely the same way and vibrate the word "adni("ah-doh-nai).l7 4. then turn to the west and trace pentagram. vibrate "ahih("eh-he-yeh).l* 5. turn north. trace pentagram and vibrate "agla("ah-geia 7.19 6

n grades or levels of h s being may gently and gradually ascend and manifest to h s perceptions, thus assisting h in his inward growth, in the conquest of ignorance and the acquisition of self-knowledge. before closing this chapter, one final set of directions remains to be communicated with regard to this practice. once skill has been acquired in performing accurately and effectually this lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram, the student may endeavor to perform the entire ritual in his mind. seating himself comfortably in h s chair, facing east, he should endeavor, without so much as rising or without any audible vibration of the words, to expand the form of his sphere of sensation and bring down the light of the higher self upon him. he ought also to be able to imagine himself as sta

reless and slapdash, and whatever advantage was to be obtained from the ritual was never forthcoming. ths astral ritual is, as i have said, an exercise to be undertaken only when a good deal of mental stability and control has been obtained-results which follow from persistent application, two or three times a day for many weeks or months, to an enthusiastic and vigorous performance of the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram. 33 sudden spurts of enthusiasm followed by prolonged bouts of inactivity avail n o t h g in magical work. in fact, such an attitude towards the subject is indicative in itself of, if not neurosis, then of a very powerful conflict raging in the unconscious. it indicates that the opposites are still operative w i t h the mental sphere, and that the golden flower of

in the unconscious. it indicates that the opposites are still operative w i t h the mental sphere, and that the golden flower of stability and equilibrium has not yet begun to blossom. the student would do well to become fully aware of the conflict, determining to be affected neither by violent enthusiasms nor by equally violent depressions. above all, he should perform quietly and patiently the banishing ritual. let him continue steadfast, with courage and equanimity in the daily celebration of lus chosen work. endnotes 1. for some reason regardie has switched the natural order of the qabalistic cross. here he has the student touching the left (gedulah or chesed) shoulder followed by the right (geburah or gevurah) shoulder. in the golden dawn manuscripts, including those published by reg

THE NECRONOMICON SIMON VERSION

veries in both cases: there are no effective banishings for the forces invoked in the necronomicon itself! the rituals, incantations, formulae of this book are of ancient origin, comprising some of the oldest written magickal workings in western occult history. the deities and demons identified within have probably not been effectively summoned in nearly six thousand years. ordinary exorcisms and banishing formulae have thus far proved extremely inadequate: this, by experienced magicians. hence, the following recommendations. the religion of the ancient sumerian peoples seems to have been lunar-oriented, a religion- or religion- magickal structure- of the night, of darkness in a sense. invocations using solar formulae have proved thus far effective in successfully banishing necronomicon de

chemistry set. the method of the necronomicon concerns deep, primeval forces that seem to preexist the normal archetypal images of the tarot trumps and the golden dawn telesmatic figures. these are forces that developed outside the judeo-christian mainstream, and were worshipped and summoned long before the creation of the qabala as we know it today. hence, the ineffectiveness of the golden dawn banishing procedures against them. they are not necessarily demonic or qliphotic in the sense that these terms are commonly understood in the west, they just simply represent power sources largely untapped and thus far ignored by twentieth-century, mainstream consciousness. the results of any experimentation with this book, as well as practical suggestions concerning its rituals, are welcomed by t

me, or kiss of shame. the devil itself, resembling the o can achieve autoerotic intercourse with the combination of z, meaning inverse intercourse with the devil the very act of creation. the rite of thanatos vel babalon, as developed by michael dewitt is one of the most powerful descriptions of the essence of babalon that could be described. the ritual itself is opened with the quadriga sexualis banishing ritual and leads into the invoking of the force of darkness. the temple itself would be decorated in images of death, skulls and bones and a large black coffin in which one of the female magicians would be laying. it begins with the priest of thanatos invoking: now listen to the voice of thanatos known to men as the face of death, whom they worship with howling and shattering teeth. all

ritual circle at the four quarters to bar the circle from any form of psychic attack. this is scarcely necessary. the circle is perfect and unbreak- able. by linking it to the four pentagrams it is, if anything, weakened. to clear a space instantly, the magus may mentally send six pentagrams, expand- ing out from the center of self, rushing along three spatial axes. this is an effective tool for banishing malefic influences. the pentagram can be cast like a flaming shield at a foe. it is inscribed on the surface of a material object to give the object a desired elemental charge. by standing with arms and legs spread the magus can become the pentagram. other uses of the figure will suggest themselves. for those with advanced powers of visualization, the geometric dodecahedron (a solid form

heir nine points are equal- ly spaced. two unicursal nonagrams can be drawn, one with a single unbroken line reflecting from every second point and the other with a line reflect- ing from every fourth point. the more open unicursal form is useful when employing the nonagram as a magic circle or inscribing words within its center upon a talisman, whereas the sharper star is better for invoking and banishing the potentials represented by its points. although it conveys a unique meaning all its own, the nonagram is also a com- posite symbol that extends the concept begun with the triangle and continued in the hexagram. the triangle is a symbol of the perfect trinity of emanations from the unmanifest. in the hexagram this trinity is made polar, and a dynamic tension and interaction is establis

k the new magus? where i presented the correct order of the twelve banners of tetragrammaton for the first time, i applied each elemental trine of banners to its corresponding elemental trine of signs counterclockwise around the zodiac, in the order cardinal, fixed, mutable, because this is the usual order of the signs and i saw no reason to depart from it. however, in developing the invoking and banishing sigils of the banners presented in the present work, i became aware that each elemental trine of banners should have been applied to its elemental trine of signs clockwise, in the order cardinal, mutable, fixed. this important change is necessitated by the inherent, underlying graphic structure of the banners, which was only revealed when i applied *new millennium magic, an updated and e

se of calling forth or commanding the spiritual intelligence of that name, or controlling the lesser spirits ruled by the intelligence of the name. the system of sigils presented here for the permutations of tetragrammaton is completely new, but its usefulness has been verified many times in ritual workings. it allows each form of the name to be quickly and easily projected, both for invoking and banishing, and also acts as a mnemonic, making it impossible to forget the correct spelling and order of the banners. the structure of the sigils is based upon the two-dimensional representation of the tetrahedron, the meaning of which was examined in the previous chapter. as was pointed out, when we look directly down upon one of the edges of a transparent tetrahedron, its outline traces a cross

line traces a cross with equal arms enclosed in a square. to each point of this figure is ascribed a letter of tetragrammaton. the result is the tetragram, from which the sigils of the twelve banners are extracted (see figure on preceding page. the invoking sigil of any banner is formed by tracing its lines on the tetragram from letter to letter, beginning with the first letter in the banner. the banishing sigil is formed by mentally inverting the two hs in the 32 tetragrammaton banner, then tracing the lines from letter to letter as before. this inversion of the first and second h causes the banishing sigil to be the exact mirror opposite of the invoking sigil. in fact, the twelve banishing sigils are based upon the set of twelve hidden, or occult, permutations of the name that result if

he banishing sigil to be the exact mirror opposite of the invoking sigil. in fact, the twelve banishing sigils are based upon the set of twelve hidden, or occult, permutations of the name that result if the hs in each banner are inverted. since there is no way to distinguish the first h in a banner from the second h, unless one is marked, inversion does not change the spelling of the banners. the banishing sigil for the overt form of a banner is actually the invoking sigil for its opposite, occult form; conversely, the invoking sigil for the overt form of a banner is the banishing sigil for its opposite, occult form. this sounds confusing, but it is simple in practice. when we inscribe the invoking sigil for a banner upon the air during a ritual, we are simultaneously suppressing its oppos

ishing sigil for its opposite, occult form. this sounds confusing, but it is simple in practice. when we inscribe the invoking sigil for a banner upon the air during a ritual, we are simultaneously suppressing its opposite occult polarity-the form of the banner that occurs when its first and second h switch position. later, when we banish the spirit or power of that overt banner by inscribing its banishing sigil upon the air, we are actually invoking its opposite, occult form, which cancels out the already present overt form the way a negative electrical charge cancels a positive. if we were to inscribe the banishing form first, it would invoke the occult form of the banner. to banish this occult form, we would have to inscribe the invoking sigil, which would summon the power of the overt

vert or an occult form, the invocation of its mirror opposite twin neutralizes it and dissolves its power to nothingness, in effect sending it away. the overt and occult forms of each banner are like matter and antimatter-they cannot coexist. however, for the sake of convenience, the invoking sigils of the overt banners are called invoking, and the invoking sigils of the occult banners are called banishing-because they banish the overt forms of the name. when projecting the sigils upon the air, they are distinguished by the motion of their formation. when writing or inscribing them upon the magic circle, or upon amulets or talismans, this motion of formation is indicated by marking the beginning of the sigil with a small cross and the termination with an arrowhead. each group of three bann

task would at times ask for a life of isolation. many true, great magicians in their own time would have had to be searched out in the deep hearts of forests or jungles, even deserts as in the case of the famed mage abramelin. put simply, magical powers aren't achieved overnight. it requires an organized, daily, step-by-step regime of recorded attempts and results. this would include a series of banishings before as well as after a ritual. invocations alone take up a great percentage of a occultist's agenda. banishings, on the other hand, although self explanatory in nature, cannot be emphasized more on the importance of their daily performance."render thy circle impregnable. regardless of their importance after an invocation, banishings on a daily basis don't hurt, and they do help. in t

man's standard work expectation has increased enormously over the years. with this in mind, it reminds us of one of the top invaders of man's health stress. this alone forms a blockade between the occultist and his path of light. this, as well as many other inner and outer influences, must be balanced and surmounted if any success is to be achieved. aside from ritualistic invocation, the use of banishings is imperative for one to be able to control one's own mentality and emotion. in the grade of neophyte, various exercises described deal with such matters. by performing rituals on a daily basis, especially the banishings, it trains one to develop both mental and will power. it exposes to the student his own ability of will and dedication to stick to such a repetitious plan. we can say t
