I've subsequently added elements from my study via the Open Source Order of the (mystical) Golden Dawn (OSOGD) and of working with elements generally: you need to read what the OSOGD has to say about this ritual and the referenced signs (here, here and here) before trying to use them (and others as well - for instance, here, here, here, here, here, etc).
The ritual I now use has the following broad steps (for the Southern Hemisphere):
(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
1.1 (a) Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TEY"
1.1 (b) Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
1.1 (c) Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
1.1 (d) Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"
1.1 (e) Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"
1.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
1.2 (a) 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AShRH, or Asherah), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):
- draw the sigil of the Lord of Air to seal the work in this Quarter:
1.2 (b) 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew ADNI, or Adonai), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):
- draw the sigil of the Lord of Fire to seal the work in this Quarter:
1.2 (c) 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew EHIH, or Eheih), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):
- draw the sigil of the Lord of Water to seal the work in this Quarter:
1.2 (d) 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AGLA, which is an abbreviation for Ateh Gibor Leolahm Adonai, or, in English, To Thee be the Power unto the Ages, O my Lord), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):
- draw the sigil of the Lord of Earth to seal the work in this Quarter:
1.2 (e) 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
1.3 (a) 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;
1.3 (b) 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) - INVOKING
based on the LESSER BANISHING RITUAL OF THE PENTAGRAM (see also here), 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.
2.1 Qabbalistic Cross
2.1 (a) Touch forehead, vibrate "AH – TAH"
2.1 (b) Point downwards, vibrate "MAHL – KOOTH"
2.1 (c) Touch right shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’BOO – RAH"
2.1 (d) Touch left shoulder, vibrate "VE – G’DOO – LAH"1.1e Fold hands at chest, vibrate "LIH – OH – LAH – MEN"
2.2 pentagrams to the Quarters
2.2 (a) 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew AShRH, or Asherah), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):
- draw the sigil of the Lord of Air to seal the work in this Quarter:
2.2 (b) 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

- 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
- visualise the following writing (Hebrew EHIH, or Eheih), then make the "Sign of the Enterer", then the "Sign of Silence" (see here, about half way down):

2.3 invoke Archangels
2.3 (a) 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;
2.3 (b) 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)

- "ON MY RIGHT AURIEL,"(visualise the archangel as a mature woman, dressed in earthy colours [I use green and brown], and holding a shield)
I have a single diagram that I have summarised what are, at the present, the key aspects of this for me (from which some of the above diagrams came from):
- "FOR ABOUT ME ARE THE FLAMES OF HEAVEN,""AND ABOVE ME IS THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN."
For the sake of completeness of this post, I am also going to add the revised (short version) daily protection prayer I use:
May the best in me, my Higher Self,and those of the Clear Light who assist me,help me to keep myself grounded, centred and shielded,to be Balanced and a Fulcrum of Balance,a centre of Balanced Positivity and Spiritual Maturity,with my aura continuously cleansed, cleared and closed,repelling all negative or unwanted energies,whilst allowing positive, balancing and healing energies through.
and the opening and closing prayers I use:
May the Goddess guide, nurture, protect and heal all of us present here, whatever our form, existence or purpose for coming here may be.closing prayer:
We ask that the assistance be both within and without ourselves:
We ask that the protection without include a Pyramid of Light about this place, existing in all dimensions. We ask that our Pyramid be kept continuously clear of all negative or discordant units, and free of all outside negative influences.
- within, by increasing our spiritual strengths and our love, and by reducing our weaknesses;
- without, through the assistance of our and other Balanced Positive Spiritual Force Guides and helpers, our Higher Selves, the Ancestors and by being connected to positive energy centres.
May this prayer, and everything that is done, thought or said by anyone present or connected to here in any way, be only for the Highest Spiritual Good. As a sign of our commitment to this request, we ask that all that we intentionally do to others be done immediately to us, so that we may know no harm is being done.
So mote it be.
We ask that our auras be cleansed, cleared and closed. We ask that we be assisted to close down and to centre ourselves, grounding and releasing all excess energy in doing so. We ask that the pyramid be cleansed and cleared in all times, dimensions, realities, levels and spaces. We ask that all positive links, skills outcomes and other things be strengthened. We ask that the circle be cleansed, cleared and closed, but that the protection, healing and guidance continue for the Highest Spiritual Good.
So mote it be.
and the following variations of the "Dharma Wrapper" and "Dedication of Merit" exercises of the OSOGD that I have posted about previously:
- Asking for Help
With your eyes open, visualize the rune Wunjo * (for its connection to spiritual ecstasy) at your heart, take a deep breath and sound the rune’s name, long and strong (mentally, if you cannot do so out aloud), letting the vibration centre on the image of the rune and radiating gold light in all directions, carrying your desire to be of service for this meditation. While sounding and visualising, imagine all beings that have vowed to help you, your Patron Deities, BPLF Guides, and your Higher Self, in the space all around you … and all those who are also doing this work. Imagine that they hear you, and turn to face you.
Receiving Help
Close your eyes and take another deep breath. Do another long chant of Wunjo and visualise yourself all the other beings present have a golden Wunjo light up at their heart chakras, as they join your chant and radiate golden light at you (and anyone you are working with). This light fills up your body with “all good things” and pushes out “all bad things”.
Sharing Help
Having been purified and empowered by the blessing of these beings take a deep breath and open your eyes. Do another long chant of Wunjo and visualise yourself all the other beings present have a golden Wunjo light up at their heart chakras, as they join your chant and radiate golden light outwards in all directions. -
May the benefit of this act and all acts
Be dedicated to the Spiritual Maturity, Balanced Positivity and Supreme Enlightenment
Of all Beings everywhere, throughout Space and Time.
May the benefits of practice, mine, ours and others,
Come to fruition, Ultimately and Immediately,
And we remain in the State of Presence.
So Mote It Be.

no longer as WYSIWYG as it used to be, and there are a lot of unwanted
changes to layout made upon publishing, so I often have to edit it immediately

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue
(see here and here), and it grew ... See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "Pagans for Peace" project (and join me
for a few minutes at some time between 8 and 11 PM on Sunday, wherever you are,
to meditate-clear for peace), and here
for my bindrune kit-bag. I also strongly recommend
learning how to flame, ground
and shield, do alternate
nostril breathing, work
with colour, and see also here and be
flexible.
The real dividing line is not between
Christianity and Islam, Sunni and Shia, East and West. It is between people who
believe in coexistence, and those who don’t.
- If your “gut” (your instinct/intuition) is telling you something is wrong, but logic and the available evidence is saying otherwise, the proper conclusion to draw is that you need better, more personally credible evidence. Your “gut” could be wrong, right, or missing the nuances / “shades of grey” . So could the available evidence.
- All of the above - and this blog - could be wrong, or subject to context, perspective, or state of spiritual evolution ...
