Facing East:

The operator should take the knife (or, if he prefers, the crystal to be used for the circle) and touching his forehead with the point, say: ATOH (ah-toh).

He then touches the heart and says: LUCIFER (or, if you are a follower of Crowley: AIWASS; or if you are Christian: IHSHVH BEN JOSEPH.)

Touch the groin and say: MALKUTH (mal-kooth).

Touch the right shoulder and say: VE-GEBURAH (veh- ghee-boo-rah).

Touch the left shoulder and say: VE-GEDULAH (veh- ghee-dew-lah).

Cross the arms across the chest and say: LE-OLAM (lee- oh-lum) and vibrate: AUM.

Still facing east:

Trace a pentagram with the knife beginning with the bottom left point and tracing up to the top.

Visualize the pentagram glowing white. Say: YHVH (yee-ho-vah).

 

With your arm outstretched turn south, trace the penta­ gram and say: ADONAI (a-don-eye).

In the same posture, turn west, make the pentagram and say: EHIEH (eh-hay-yeh).

Same posture, turning north say: AGLA (ah-guh-la).

Arm still outstretched, return to the east. Imagine yourself surrounded by a circle of four flaming pentagrams.

Put your arms out to your sides in the form of a cross and say:

Before me RAPHAEL, behind me GABRIEL, on my right hand MICHAEL, on my left hand URIEL. About me flames the pentagram, and in the column [visualize a column of lightpassing vertically through your body] stands the six- rayed star.

Finally, repeat touching the knife to forehead, heart and groin saying: ATOH, LUCIFER, MALKUTH; right shoulder: VE-GEBURAH; and left shoulder: VE-GEDULAH.

Cross the arms over the chest and say LE-OLAM, and vibrate: AUM.

Now place the censer, knife, wand and candles within the area of the circle. The circle may be drawn or made physi­cally, but whether it is or not, it must be drawn astrally with the stone that has already been prepared.

It may be a simple circle, or one done in one of the following forms:

The sealing must be done only when all participants are inside.

The censer may now be lit if it has not already been.

For this operation the censer should be of the charcoal burning type since the coals are used to torment a recalcitrant demon.

When the conjuration is recited, the operator should be facing east. Alertness should be maintained, however, since the spirit may manifest anywhere outside the circle, and may do so in a number of ways.

There might be a change in temperature or a tingling feeling (called “vibrations” by spiritists) or even some visual manifestation. Or one may simply experience a feeling of unease, of “being watched.”

IDEA – It might even be suggested that an ouija board be set up in the circle if there is more than one participant.

When a manifestation occurs that makes the operator suspect the presence of the spirit, he may visualize Lucifuge Rofocale.

When all are in the circle, and the incense is lit, the magi­cian says:

I present Thee, O great Adonay, this incense as the purest I can obtain; in like manner, I present Thee this charcoal prepared from the most ethereal of woods. I offer them, O grand and omnipotent Adonay, Eloim, Ariel and Jehovam, with my whole soul and my whole heart. Vouchsafe, O great Adonay, to receive them as an acceptable holocaust. Amen.

 

Now you do the First Conjuration

 


The Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

The Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram is a foundational practice in ceremonial magic, often used to clear negative energies and create a sacred space. Here is a much more modern version of the above.

Here’s a general outline of how to perform this ritual:

Materials Needed

  • A ritual space (quiet and undisturbed)
  • A wand or finger for drawing (optional)
  • Salt (for purification)
  • A candle (for focus, usually white)

Steps of the Ritual

1. Preparation

  • Cleanse Your Space: Physically and energetically cleanse the area where you will perform the ritual. You can use salt, incense, or smudging.

2. Grounding

  • Center Yourself: Take a few moments to ground yourself. Breathe deeply, focusing on your breath and feeling connected to the earth.

3. Casting the Circle

  • Visualize Protection: Imagine a protective barrier surrounding your ritual space, preventing negative energies from entering.

4. The Banishing Pentagram

  • Face East: Stand facing the East (the direction of air and new beginnings).
  • Draw the Pentagram: Using your wand or finger, visualize and draw a banishing pentagram (a five-pointed star) in the air. Move in the following manner:
    • Start at the top point and draw down to the left point.
    • Move to the right point, then to the bottom point, and back to the left point to complete the star.
    • Trace the pentagram in the air while visualizing it glowing and radiating energy.

5. Vibrate the Name

  • Say the Divine Name: After drawing the pentagram, vibrate the name of God or a protective entity associated with the direction (e.g., “Yahweh” for the East). Focus on the energy of the name as you speak it.

6. Repeat for Other Directions

  • Continue to Other Directions: Move clockwise to the South, West, and North, repeating the drawing of the banishing pentagram and vibrating the corresponding divine names:
    • South: “Adonai”
    • West: “Ehyeh”
    • North: “Agla”

7. Closing the Ritual

  • Thank the Elements: After completing the pentagrams, take a moment to thank any entities or energies you called upon during the ritual.
  • Ground Again: Ground yourself once more, allowing any excess energy to flow back into the earth.

8. End the Ritual

  • Snuff Out the Candle: If you used a candle, snuff it out (don’t blow it) as a way to signify the end of the ritual.

Notes

  • Intent is Key: Focus on your intention throughout the ritual. Visualizing your desired outcome can enhance the effectiveness.
  • Practice Regularly: Regularly performing this ritual can help maintain a clear and positive space in your life.

This ritual serves as a powerful tool for protection and banishing unwanted influences.
