INVOKING THE ANGELIC WATCHTOWERS

This prayer is appropriate for opening a Medicine Wheel or sacred circle.

NOTE: When opening a circle or Medicine Wheel it is vital to call in the seven directions. This allows you to tap into the power of the wheel for reverent and focused communion with Spirit.  The directions will always respond when you call them, which may feel like energy coming into your hand or arm or showering down through your crown. People often report feeling "chills" and "goosebumps". Sometimes it is just a knowing that Spirit, your ancestors, animals and guides are now surrounding you.

Stand facing the North say:

I call upon the Watchtower of the North and the powers of the North to be with me in this healing/ritual. I call upon the four elements of the North to be with me in this healing/ritual.

You may call in Archangel Uriel in the North.

Turn clockwise and facing the East say:

I call upon the Watchtower of the East and the powers of the East to be with me in this healing/ritual. I call upon the four elements of the East to be with me in this healing/ritual.

You may call in Archangel Raphael in the East.

Turn clockwise and facing the South say:

I call upon the Watchtower of the South and the powers of the South to be with me in this healing/ritual. I call upon the four elements of the South to be with me in this healing/ritual.

You may call in Archangel Michael in the South.

Turn clockwise and facing the West say:

I call upon the Watchtower of the West and the powers of the West to be with me in this healing/ritual. I call upon the four elements of the West to be with me in this healing/ritual.

You may call in Archangel Gabriel in the West.

Turn clockwise and facing the North, as you raise your arms upward and lower them downward say:

I call upon the powers of up to come down and balance us in this healing.

Stay facing the North, keep your arms downward and raise them upward say:

I call upon the powers of down to come up and balance us in this healing.

Stay facing the North and extend your arms out to each side of your body (making your body into a cross shape) and bring your hands into prayer position say:

I call upon the powers of here to center us in this healing.

Stay facing the North and with your hands into prayer position say:

I call upon the Light to fill this circle with healing energy and with the love of the Light.

I purify myself for healing.
I purify myself for healing.
I purify myself for healing.

So be it and so it is. Amen.

PATTERN ON THE TRESTLEBOARD
This Is Truth About The Self - Kabbalah

This is Case's seminal work on the Tarot and one of the few places you can find his "Pattern on the Trestleboard" in print.

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

Introduced by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the lesser Banishing Ritual is a necessary preliminary to practically all higher forms of Western Magick.  Done properly, it serves as a form of Yoga.

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

Composed from various sources related to the

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn

.

Take the right hand (or use the index finger). Face EAST.

Perform the Cabbalistic Cross as follows:

Imagine, at the first word intoned, a brilliant white light descend from above.

Touch the forehead and vibrate ATEH (thou art)

Imagine that same brilliant white light form a 6 inch diameter sphere just above the crown of your head.

Touch the middle of the solar plexus and vibrate MALKUTH (Kingdom)

Imagine a shaft of light descending from the Crown Sphere and descend to the feet where another 6 inch sphere expands just under your feet.

Touch the right shoulder and vibrate VE-GEVURAH (and Power)

Imagine a 6 inch sphere of brilliant white light appear just next to the right shoulder.

Touch the left shoulder and vibrate VE-GEDULAH (and Glory)

Imagine a shaft of light emerge from the right Sphere and cross your breast to expand and form another Sphere at your left shoulder.

Clasp the hands before you and vibrate LE-OLAHM (for ever)

At this point imagine clearly the cross of light as it extends through your body.

Hands as before, with the dagger between fingers, point up, vibrate AMEN

Draw, in the air facing EAST, a banishing Earth Pentagram as shown in the diagram, and bringing the point your finger into the center of the Pentagram,

vibrate the Name Y H V H (pronounced YAHD HEY VAU HEY)

Imagine that your voice carries forward to the LIMITS of the UNIVERSE.

Without moving the hand  to the south  tracing  a semicircle before you as you turn toward the SOUTH.

 

Stop and Again trace the Pentagram, bring the hand to the center of it, and vibrate the Name ADNI, (pronounced AH-DOH-NEYE)

Again, trace the semicircle with the hand  to the WEST,

 

trace the Penta- gram, bringing the hand  to the center, and vibrate the Name AHIH, (pronounced EH-YEH)

Then, turn towards the NORTH, while tracing the circle,

 

trace the Pentagram, bring the hand  to the center and vibrate the Name AGLA, (pronounced either AH-GAH-LAH or ATAH GIBOR LE-OLAHM ADONAI)

Return to the EAST, completing tracing the circle of brilliant white Light, bringing your hand to the center of the EAST Pentagram.

Extend the arms in the form of a cross, say: BEFORE ME (then vibrate) RAPHAEL (pronounced RAH-PHYE-EHL)

Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel in front of you and facing you. In his/her right hand is a magical Sword held with the point upright. The background is a pale, pure, bright yellow. Cherubs can be imagined near the Archangel. Imagine a gentle, refreshing breeze, cleansing and purifying the air.

Then, say: BEHIND ME (then vibrate) GABRIEL (pronounced GAH-BREE-EHL)

Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel behind you and facing you, holding in their right hand an exquisite silver Chalice. He/she is standing on a Cerulean-blue ocean and dolphins or mermaids are nearby. Imagine feeling the mist and cool spray of the ocean breeze.

Then, say: AT MY RIGHT HAND (then vibrate) MICHAEL (pronounced MEE-CHYE-EHL)

Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel at your right, facing you, and holding in their right hand a transparent scarlet red Wand with a scintillate pure diamond top. Waves of scarlet, red-orange and orange fire in the background. Also, SEKHMET, with a scarlet disk above her head, emerald green Uraeus, scarlet dress from just below breasts, tight-fitting, down to her ankles, is in the flames. She holds, in her left hand, a scarlet-red lotus wand. In her right hand, she holds an emerald-green ankh. Small black salamanders can be seen moving among the flames. Imagine you feel the heat and power emanating from the SOUTH.

Then, say: AT MY LEFT HAND (then vibrate) AURIEL (pronounced AWE-REE-EHL)

Imagine a scintillating brilliant white Archangel at your left, facing you, and holding between their hands a Disk with a scintillating white Pentagram in the center. The ground is russet-brown, the leaves of the trees are olive-green, there are black shadows from the trees in a number of places, and the light is citrine (light yellow-green.) Feel the solidity of the Earth, and imagine the odor of the leaves and muskiness of the ground.

Now, say: Before me FLAMES THE PENTAGRAMS, AND IN THE COLUMN of "I AM" SHINES THE SIX-RAYED STAR.

Imagine the complete circle of brilliant white light at whose quadrants are the 4 Pentagrams. At the center is the Cabbalistic Cross of Light extended through one's body.

Repeat the Cabbalistic cross, and, according to some tradtions, stamp your right foot at the conclusion of the complete operation. The Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram is performed preliminary to any magical operation.

Note: The subject of the vibration of Names of Power is discussed at length in other sources. The Names should be pronounced inwardly in the breath, vibrating it as much as possible and feeling that the whole body throbs with the sound and sends out a wave of vibration directed to the ends of the Earth, according to Regardie. Some benefit can be obtained by listening to the chants of Tibetan Monks that can be found on cassette and CD. Other occultists assert that definite somatic effects will manifest when the vibrated Names are performed correctly, such as tingling in certain areas of the body. I believe it is important to vibrate the Names at the same time one imagines the Name in scintillate white Light, rushing upward thru the body and outwards toward the end of the Universe in the particular direction one is working with. It is important to pronounce the Names correctly and clearly and, according to Traditional Jewish sources, never pronounce the Names casually, but only in Holy or Theurgic Work. One is admonished to NEVER lower the hand while tracing the Circle or at any other time, unless specifically instructed to do so.
