| The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram |
| Part Three: The Evocation of the Archangels |
| Step One: Spread your arms straight out to the sides, so that your body forms a cross. If you have a dagger, the point should be up. Take a second or two to once again feel the energies flowing through you and making you a brilliant cross of light at the center of the universe. The cross also represents the four archtypal elements: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. Step Two: Visualize a figure on a hill in front of you. The figure is dressed in yellow robes which have some purplish highlights. The figure carries a caduceus wand (the symbol used by doctors, a wand entwined by serpents, which represents the life force) and the figure's robes wave in the wind. You should 'feel' a breeze coming from behind the figure. Say Before me Rah-fay-EL (vibrate the name of the Archangel). Step Three: Visualize a figure behind you, dressed in blue with orange highlights. The figure holds a cup and is surrounded by waterfalls. Try to 'feel' the moisture in the air. Say, Behind me, Gahb-ray-EL (vibrate the name). Step Four: To your right, visualize a figure dressed in scarlet with green highlights. The figure holds a flaming sword and you should 'feel' heat coming from this direction. Say, On my right hand, Mee-chia-EL (vibrate the name. The 'Ch' is a guttural sound like the German 'ach' or the Scottish 'loch'). Step Five: To your left, visualize a figure dressed in greens and browns on a fertile landscape. The figure holds some sheaves of wheat. Say, On my left hand, Ohr-ree-EL (vibrate the name). Step Six: Move your left foot out to your left and visualize another beautiful pentagram all around you, outlining your body. Say For about me flames the pentagram... Step Seven: Visualize a golden hexagram, a six pointed star (sometimes called a Jewish star), within you, right where your heart is. Say, ... And within me shines the six-rayed star |
