PGM & Greco-Roman-Egyptian Spells

[WonderFire]

I think you're right and those symbols and drawings are meant to make it more targeted. I found it works great alone as a verbal prayer, and haven't used anything physical to root its power except a candle. Like a couple other spells, this one benefits from practicing it a couple times. By the end of the week, reciting it every other day, it felt "trained" enough to root its power in the aura. It may not need that for you!

Awesome, I'll try it out.

Could anyone here recommend a good practical book, or set of spells from the PGM? I've read the Stephen Skinner tome is not very practical.

I don't think there's any one-stop place for PGM. Check out Digital Ambler's site for some rituals (it was linked earlier in the thread), under "occult" menu and then under "classical hermetic rituals". Also, a lot of his other work seems to be inspired by PGM, but like many other practitioners a lot of it isn't "pure" PGM. Anyway, this thread is shaping into one of the better resources out there.

Is there any audio pronunciations?

I don't think there's any real consensus on how all voces magicae (barbarous words) are supposed to be pronounced because they could come from different languages. They could even be glossolalia or in cases of long strings of vowels indicate some type of vocal performance without semantic meaning.
I use classical Greek pronunciation because I'm most familiar with it, but ancient Greek had dialects and they have differences with each other as well, so there's no guarantee I'm pronouncing it like the scribe did, especially if they used Koine Greek.
However, here's one guy who uploaded his pronunciation of some rituals. He uses different dialect than I do, but there you go:
