Something I came up with in LBRP

[Amur]

Do the LBRP with god names intact with all the pentagrams that can be done. This could be even practiced before learning SBRP, as it gives a flow from all the elements, except that it goes through the Light. So gives a different elemental flow than invoking or banishing directly the elements with corresponding God Names. Was certainly worth trying and isn't so hard to do.

It would be better if you wrote it out a bit more in detail.

Sure.

Begin with Qabbalistic Cross

East - Do the banishment pentagram of Earth and vibrate Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Earth and vibrate Adonai
West - Do the banishment pentagram of Earth and vibrate EHEIEH
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Earth and vibrate AGLA

East - Do the banishment pentagram of Water and vibrate Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Water and vibrate Adonai
West - Do the banishment pentagram of Water and vibrate EHEIEH
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Water and vibrate AGLA

East - Do the banishment pentagram of Air and vibrate Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Air and vibrate Adonai
West - Do the banishment pentagram of Air and vibrate EHEIEH
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Air and vibrate AGLA

East - Do the banishment pentagram of Fire and vibrate Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Fire and vibrate Adonai
West - Do the banishment pentagram of Fire and vibrate EHEIEH
North - Do the banishment pentagram of Fire and vibrate AGLA

After that "Before me Raphael, Behind me Gabriel, on my right side Michael and on my left side Auriel. For around me flames the pentagrams in the column shines the 6 rayed stars" - Qabbalistic cross

**Edit note I have replaced in my own magick the name Uriel for Auriel because it denotes more what Matter really is. With Ain Soph Aur and so forth.

 

[Yazata]

Nice. I always pronounce it Auriel as well.

 

[Amur]

Yeah I always pronounced it Uriel but it doesn't denote that Matter is frozen Light, as well as Auriel. Being the Arch Angel of Earth I think it's needed.

Btw I haven't yet tried the invocation version of this but could be as heavenly as the SIRP

I have "Before me Uriel, behind me Raphael, to the right of me Michael, to the left of me Gabriel", the latter two mainly because of this book:

Book – PDF - Mika Ahuvia - On My Right Michael, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture

Angelic beings can be found throughout the Hebrew Bible, and by late antiquity the archangels Michael and Gabriel were as familiar as the patriarchs and matriarchs, guardian angels were as present as one’s shadow, and praise of the seraphim was as sacred as the Shema prayer. Mika Ahuvia recovers...

Makes more sense to me because according to the QC, the right side is Geburah, and of all four archangels Michael is most suitable here for me; whenever I touch my right shoulder, I imagine myself to be a boxer (orthodox stance), so that's where my power punch, the straight right, would come from. The left hand is for parrying/blocking, so that would be the water element for me ("Be water, my friend"). Weird, that boxing analogy, I know.

I think argueing about directions or words is pointless, however; there must be as many versions as there are magicians. 'Piercing' the pentagrams or rather making the Sign of the Enterer? Should I perform the Sign of Silence when stepping back? We had a post once about the visualizations alone... Hardly anybody would change anything in their LBRP anyway because the version of the ritual you're accustomed to is so ingrained. It took me months to switch from the QC's "Athe" to "Atho" and then to "Atha" because some Israli guy on Reddit insisted that this was the correct version.

I never visualize anything, I just go with the flow of emotions or water and in this I make the magickal operation clear with whatever comes into my Sphere of Sensation. Which is a different way.

 

[Aeternus]

This is very detailed and I am very interested to try it.

Thanks for sharing @Amur

oh interesting, I'll have a look at that. I also have Fire opposite Water and Air opposite Earth on the elemental cross - it seems more natural to me, rather than pairing Water+Air, Fire+Earth opposite each other

However I have Michael in the north at my left (because southern hemisphere, that's where hot winds come from) and Gabriel in the South at my right (where the Antarctic ocean and what feels like the edge of the world is), Raphael before and Uriel behind

This also aligns Kemetic directionality to my local geography - treating my city's major river system flooding out into the ocean in the south the way the Nile is treated in Egyptian magic (the head of the Nile is fire and forward and the future, the delta is the past and water, with the rising sun in the east and the Necropolis - earth, land of the dead - in the west.

By coincidence it's also the elemental directions given in the Zohar, so that's my credibility point.

But in practice it happened because it just kept feeling wrong to have water in the west, I kept stumbling over it, and when I switched it to the South, it felt right and I stopped messing it up. So it's heavily UPG rather than anything I would say someone else should do
