This might be controversial.
To seal or unseal your magic circle/seal?
In ritual, I use an 'acausal' or 'unbound' pentagram whose points deliberately puncture the protective circle.
I never employ protective devices beyond my symbol the Thrasz, and never perform any form of banishing after sorcery.
Why do you consider it best practice to preserve the seal or perform 'banishings'?
The theory for an unbound circle/seal, is as follows:
"The regular Pentagram used in magick, being a ring-sealed five-pointed star, is often
regarded as a protective device; a guardian barrier between the spiritual and one’s
own world, and more accurately, a symbolic division between the Magickian’s
conscious mind (Dexter) and unconscious contents (Sinister).
The framework is enduring – representing Man at the centre of the Universe as a
Divine Conduit surrounded by the All, the Cosmos wherein the Pentagram’s only
malleability in magick is often its tilt: whether its horns are regarded as upward and
Demonic or downward and Divine. In a sense, this ageless symbol encapsulates a
specific view of the context of the human being in relation to Gods, Demons, the
World, Oneself and Others. And of this – the regular Pentagram is one that expresses
Great Fear and Great Arrogance.
The objective of such a symbol is to call forth or evoke Great and Terrible Powers –
be they Angels or Devils – and to stand in and before their might; even to demand or
cajole gifts and exchanges, make deals or contracts from these entities – and all from
the safety and temerity of one’s protective barrier, one’s shield, one’s magickal
fortress. Like standing behind the thick glass at a zoo and sheltered from the lion’s
real form and animal instinct, innumerable ancient and modern day Magickians tour
the zones and call to the gods from their insulated bubbles as sight-see’ers of the
Abyss: insulting the Powers Within and Without.
Yet:
The centre of time or space does not belong to Man – nor does he stand in the centre,
nor has he ever; such a depiction of the internal pentagon of the pentagram as his
pedestal is the accumulative centuries of Magi legacy of fear, a transposition of his
supposed place in a so-seen dichotomic universe of Inside/Outside, Good and Evil; a
terrace on which he stands protected as God’s creation. The
Acausal Pentagram dissolves this platform, tearing it from underfoot to plunge the
Sorcerer into starry tendrilled space and into the depths of unknown dimensions amid
the Homes of THEM wherein Forms and Man are undone as the Illusions they are.
Where only Forces remain.
The closed circle of the Pentagram neatly encloses the points of the Star, a sealed
container that lets nothing in and nothing out, a safety chamber from which the
Magickian can feel empowered to wheedle and make demands without consequence
of being over-run, possessed or flooded by the demonic, the satanic, or the Chthonic;
to engage with entities and spirits that physically and psychically push with
thunderous power and safely avoid the ruin to the peace of ontological ignorance of
those that emanate space-time bending capacities on one’s experience that can erupt
in dissociation, madness, gnawing mortal doubt, para-psychological theistic paralysis,
and other forms of psychic or actual destruction. From this protective device, oft
accompanied by Gematria, sigils, smudges, candle barriers, and other arcane defences
adorning the Pentagram, space or person issues the litany of expectations for these
forces to fulfil at the behest of the protected Magickian. And, the expectation that
having been sufficiently chastised and humiliated by being held in place and space
and interrogated, shaken down, bound to promise and delivery – such forces will be
promptly returned to their prisons, obedient, complacent, patient to await the next
cowardly rub of the genie bottle as and when the Magickian requires their services
again.
The points of the Acausal Pentagram deliberately puncture this seal – protrude
beyond the veil and fuse the division of the Holy with the Heretical, opening the
Sorcerer to a flooding of the Spaces; to the Will of THEM. We approach Not from a
Faraday Cage or Sealed Container but an open-handed, open-hearted place of
humility: a Broken Star, a waiting Ouija board, holding the Intent of a cold burning
flame in the maelstrom of darkness. We do not Seek Anything from THEM but what
they Give – THEY are held in awe, in wonder, and in true Love. There is no Fear, no
Arrogance, no false ‘I’ but the Love and standing in the stream – occupying the
Bridge Back as a conduit between Worlds Internal and External.
Into such humble bodies, fearless and Loving, THEY flow and possess. But for
thousands of years – such star gates as the Pentagram have remained sealed,
frightened of CHAOS, terrified of and insulated from THEIR wrath, fury, beauty,
reality: by arcane bulwarks and fireworks, chalk etchings and angelic scratchings. A
paralysing shield as much for the Supernatural as the Psychological.
Unseal your Pentagram. Abandon your Fear. Know Yourself – And Stand before
THEM we Say to You, with Love, that you might know THEM for the First Time."
The full design is intended to destroy the internal circle/pentagon with tendrilled arms spilling
from black space marked with strange geometric shapes, and to destroy the exterior circle by
disrupting its circumference with the points of the pentagram and is both unbound and
a representation of chaos and the acausal.
