Post No. 286 - A basic protective and invoking ritual

I have been working with rituals based on Qaballistic methods for decades - this is, in fact, one of the first techniques I learned, as a teenager. This post is a slightly more formal version of what I normally do, although I have modified the wording to what I normally use. I have also "changed" the directions and correspondences to what is generally used in Southern Hemisphere practices. (I have also posted on part of this previously - see here.)

The ritual is used first to cleanse/establish protection (in the one step), and then to invoke.

It has the following broad steps:

(1) BANISHING
1.1 Qabbalistic Cross
1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
1.3 invoke Archangels

(2) INVOKING
2.1 Qabbalistic Cross
2.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
2.3 invoke Archangels


RITUAL PHASE (1) - BANISHING
based on the LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (see also here), and the QABBALISTIC CROSS

1.1 Qabbalistic Cross
1.1a Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TEY"
1.1b Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
1.1c Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
1.1d Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"
1.1e Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"


1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
1.2a Go to or face east,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left and going clockwise - the first line is as if "throwing mucky stuff up to heaven to be got rid of"),
- then touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram

1.2b Carry line to or face north,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram

1.2c Carry line to or face west,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram

1.2d Carry line to or face south,
- draw pentagram (starting at lower left leg and going clockwise),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "AH – DOH – NYE" to activate the pentagram

1.2e Carry line to or face east completing circle and return to centre.
If I wish to be sure of the protection, I will then repeat the pentagram, thinking of this as "locking" the circle.


1.3 invoke Archangels
1.3a Stand with arms outstretched,
- then visualise a great beam of bright light coming down from above, and passing through the vertical axis of your body, followed by a great beam of bright light from the side (I generally use the right side as the source) and passing through the heart, thus creating a great cross of light;

1.3b Then say the following as do the visualisations of the Archangels, facing OUTWARDS:

"BEFORE ME RAPHAEL,"
(visualise the Archangel as a young male, dressed in golden colours, and holding a sword up)

"ON MY LEFT MICHAEL,"
(visualise the Archangel as a mature male, dressed in red colours, and holding a spear)

"BEHIND ME GABRAEL,"
(visualise the Archangel as a young woman, dressed in autumnal colours [I use brown, yellow and red], and holding a cup)

"ON MY RIGHT AURIEL,"
(visualise the archangel as a mature woman, dressed in earthy colours [I use green and brown], and holding a shield)

"FOR ABOUT ME ARE THE FLAMES OF HEAVEN,
"AND ABOVE ME IS THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN."
RITUAL PHASE (2) INVOKINGbased on the LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM, and the QABBALISTIC CROSS.
This is based on invoking the sphere "Kether". To invoke other Spheres, substitute the name with either the name of the Sphere you wish to invoke (in fact, I frequently do that, and say "Keth-her" rather than use the God name), or the relevant God name.

1.1 Qabbalistic Cross1.1a Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TAH"
1.1b Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
1.1c Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
1.1d Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"1.1e Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"


1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters1.2a Go to or face east,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise - the first line is as if "drawing the blessings of heaven downwards"),
- then touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram

1.2b Carry line to or face north,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram

1.2c Carry line to or face west,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram

1.2d Carry line to or face south,
- draw pentagram (starting at top and going anticlockwise ),
- touch the centre of the pentagram, and simultaneously vibrate "EH – HEY – EE – AH" to activate the pentagram

1.2e Carry line to or face east completing circle and return to centre.
If I wish to be sure of the protection, I will then repeat the pentagram, thinking of this as "locking" the circle.


1.3 invoke Archangels1.3a Stand with arms outstretched,
- then visualise a great beam of bright light coming down from above, and passing through the vertical axis of your body, followed by a great beam of bright light from the side (i generally use the right side as the source) and passing through the heart, thus creating a great cross of light;

1.3b Then say the following as do the visualisations of the Archangels, facing INWARDS:

"BEFORE ME RAPHAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a young male, dressed in golden colours, and holding a sword up)

"ON MY LEFT MICHAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a mature male, dressed in red colours, and holding a spear)

"BEHIND ME GABRAEL,"(visualise the Archangel as a young woman, dressed in autumnal colours [I use brown, yellow and red], and holding a cup)

"FOR ABOUT ME ARE THE FLAMES OF HEAVEN,"
"AND ABOVE ME IS THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN."

Love, light, hugs and blessings
