This grimoire was written by Jake Stratton Kent, I am barely starting to realize the current within it. even with working with it so much. I took some liberty in the method of contact so far but most of my work goes alongside the Mercury-Solar and Solar-Mercury current. I am not exactly trying to gain
I will be mirroring some of the posts from my tumblr's ideas and working here that I had with the entities of this grimoire.
I use Continental tarot attribution with hebrew letters, concepts...so when I say magician, think ALEPH not BETH.
I will try to distill all the knowledge or insights imparted on me by Elanfi hoping that you're motivated by it. I will definitely say that DON'T WORK WITH THEM IF YOU'RE NOT READY OR HAVE SUITABLE PROTECTION. I met someone who told me from a friend of his that she worked with Elnafi and ended up with internal stomach bleeding....I ended up with Diarrhea and loose bowl for 2-3 days, it's not fun happening to you at midnight from 2 am, 3 am, 4 am, and every hour of night. anyhow this is the summation of practice taken from this stomach attacking spirit lol.
The work of balancing the elements is necessary, but once you realize it is this three dimension, 4 armed Seesaw cross, it's not so easy anymore. All the other major arcana will use/be used through the agency of the magician. which is kinda… mind boggling because people rushes to all others cards or don't realize that the magician is fulcrum. The thing at the center of these four elements is the thing. The work of all other major arcana and minor arcana subsidize on the this card specifically. Can we...actually live without Consciousness?
The Summary of all of it is that:
Raphael - East
Michael - South
Gabriel - West
Uriel - North
Once you got that, you will put the the magician tarot card in the middle of your space, start by the eastern direction and call Raphael "Archangel Raphael, Lord of the eastern wind and of wisdom shine your light and blessings of wisdom into this chamber", you should make your own prayer from the heart. This is part where you need to think of what you need from the archangel and also to give the archangel space to manifest, before you move to Michael rest and wait. Create a space in your mind and let archangel Raphael response come forth, just wait, you don't need to force yourself to be silent but let the archangel come forth...in presence. then go in a circle once and call the rest of the archangels from your heart. Once that's done, you will start the second part Circumambulation around the space, it can even be a simple circling around yourself if you have no space. The important thing is that you embody the principle of the card here you're like the hands of the Aleph card being aware, reaching out, allowing the element to come, like this: you can see the hands of aleph and aleph itself is creating a cross reaching out to other elements, the concept of magical chains plays into it if you read Levi, you're forging this chain of elemental energy to flow through you.

How many times you want to perform the Circumambulation? easy answer is 9, the long answer is that it's up to you! Why nine? I don't know I was inspired by that number and there's probably some hidden concept that I need to contemplate in regard to how it works. Once the performance is done you can just stand there and ask yourself if the performance was satisfactory or not. I hope that this ritual help create a more organic relation with the archangels.
Respect, Sincerity, Simplicity in your prayer. That's all.
I hope my rambling and talk inspire people to work with this grimoire more
I don’t think this will hit until you “see” it for yourself but ALL elements are created out of divine light(flame) and this is just basically the light roleplaying as different forms. The whole intersection of the elements 4x4 is that Light, the elements from the stable earth, whirling wind, calm water, and raging fire are all Light(s). If you take that into consideration you can see the whole reflection, refraction, dispersion, and diffraction. This open new avenue for how you work with the elements when you look at them as lights instead of like water, flame, draft of air, and dirt or like elements of nature. if I drop a copy of water on a fire then steam produced, but what if I look at the elements like lights….think about them, new ways to think about the elements which someone else must’ve known it before me.
I Talked about circumambulation at length in my other blog post, in essence the flow of the waves in circling around a circle create a zone, it also pushes in, and pushes out and do many more movements at once. To think that when we circle ourselves, or we circle this way or that way have a specific meaning or correspondence to it is only in relation to what we are doing. Do it for the sake of finding the secrets of it. It’s a practice in and of itself.
Maybe that’s what we need to do! Anyway I hope my rambling and working with this spirit ended up creating more “space” for people to work with the spirits of the grimoire..

The Summary of all of it is that:
- Elements are light, literally. They're all differentiation of that divine light related to the Fire of divine creation.
- Circumambulation is the primary tool of magician(s), of old times, of now, and of the future.
- Awareness is the tool by which we can disengage from the four whirling winds of elements that would rip us apart if we don't heed them.
- All is Grounded/Elevated through the elements.
Item recommended: Magician Card from Tarot or a drawing/scribble on paper of it.
I encourage people to try the following ritual to grow a more...organic relationship with angels instead of just churning rituals in and out like a routine movement. This ritual only have one small condition for it to work well, I want you to go read about the four cardinal archangels Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel. The internet is filled with junk, I recommend A Dictionary Of Angels by Gustav Davidson and then you can jump from there, Hadean Press have booklets on them, jump from there. look into all resources, etc. Anyway I assume you at least have some ideas about them and you're using the same correspondence as me:Raphael - East
Michael - South
Gabriel - West
Uriel - North

The Lights(Fire)
I don’t think this will hit until you “see” it for yourself but ALL elements are created out of divine light(flame) and this is just basically the light roleplaying as different forms. The whole intersection of the elements 4x4 is that Light, the elements from the stable earth, whirling wind, calm water, and raging fire are all Light(s). If you take that into consideration you can see the whole reflection, refraction, dispersion, and diffraction. This open new avenue for how you work with the elements when you look at them as lights instead of like water, flame, draft of air, and dirt or like elements of nature. if I drop a copy of water on a fire then steam produced, but what if I look at the elements like lights….think about them, new ways to think about the elements which someone else must’ve known it before me.
(Water)
I Talked about circumambulation at length in my other blog post, in essence the flow of the waves in circling around a circle create a zone, it also pushes in, and pushes out and do many more movements at once. To think that when we circle ourselves, or we circle this way or that way have a specific meaning or correspondence to it is only in relation to what we are doing. Do it for the sake of finding the secrets of it. It’s a practice in and of itself.
Awareness(Air/Aleph)
Here the Awareness give us respite, if we don’t then we are always charging doing something, can we stand in the stance of the magician and be there. There’s a lot to learn from just standing in that position. Maybe what we need is a physical, mental, and astral stance of being the magician, a lot of way to think about this practically.The Ground(Earth)
In the end, the final “nail” in this work or any work to say is to bring it through the elements. The Waw/Vav of Air but in the linguistic sense it means “..and” this and that. If anything we Vav creation into everything else, we ground it, and the whole process of all elementals, archangels, spirits, and all kind of entities and and and, we keep anding… to chain them together into manifestation. And then what?….. It’s there.Maybe that’s what we need to do! Anyway I hope my rambling and working with this spirit ended up creating more “space” for people to work with the spirits of the grimoire..
