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
