I’m prepared as well as I can be for tomorrow’s rite. I’m a little nervous because I am not sure what sort of manifestation will result of this. I’m also super excited because it’s happening.
Wish me luck. I’ll post about it after I’m done.

So I did my big closing rite.
Gosh, closing rite doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Before anything, I started with half an hour of meditation, to get into the right frame of mind
As far as the ritual setup, I had a candle to my left, another to my right, and one in front of me, all arranged around my ritual circle. In front of me on my altar was a similar setup, with a triangle of candles around my altar surface, but with my sigil in the middle.
I cleansed and banished, then declared the candles around my ritual circle to be the macrocosm, with the ones on my altar the microcosm.
I then lit the candles, right then right, left then left, then front and front, declaring as I lit them, the Shem Angels, the Goetic Spirits, and Myself.
Once all the candles were lit, I started calling spirits. The Shem Angels to my right, and Goetic spirits to my left. Then I said something to the effect of the microcosm reflects the macrocosm and asked the angels and goetics to assist me in my task. Then I called up my Godform from both within and without myself. I called that I already was my Godform, as it was fated and willed by my own being, for my Godform is of me and I am of my Godform. I about fell over at this point, the rush from within and without being so strong. But I finished the calling up of my Godform and declaring unity with it, before meditating again.
It’s pretty intense, and I can feel things happening within me and without me. I don’t know what will come of this, but I bet it’s gonna be awesome.

I see and sit upon the Throne of God, watching all who are on the path towards it. I see faces I recognize, and so many faces I don’t. I know not all of them will reach that golden throne, but the ones that do will be rewarded for their efforts. The world trembles, from within and without, and I feel like it will heed my will. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Edit. I’ve been trancing out pretty hard, and I wrote that while tranced out. I feel like I can see through the world, and I feel both heavy and light. It’s odd.

Congratulation on being where you need to be.
As one journey ends another begins.
Not that it’s really the ending or beginning 
You have inspired me and many more, thanks for sharing your journey.

Now, I just have to figure out what is next. After a few weeks to adjust to this of course.

I realized that the throne I spoke of is not wholly mine, at least not yet. I can still call upon it’s influence, but I am merely a Prince, not the King. I have to find myself worthy of the throne before I can claim it.

As above so below. This is what comes to mind, Shem & Goetia.

The Shem Angels and the Goetic demons do correspond, although I’m not entirely sure why exactly. I don’t think it’s too important as to why or how they correspond so much as that they do correspond.
I’ve seen some interesting stuff today, in my sight during trance.

Roughly a week later, I don’t even know.
Literally the day after I finished this I got sick with a sinus infection… The timing was too convenient for it to be mere coincidence, and I suspect it was my body adjusting to all the changes, even if I feel basically the same.
It is actually pretty interesting, how I don’t feel all that different after starting the unification of my being. It actually makes sense though, I’m becoming more myself than I was before, or realizing how myself I actually am, or something… It’s all kinda vague. That said, I’ve noticed that when I focus, it’s easier and stronger than before. I can see my path laid out before me, not necessarily where it leads, or what steps I will take, but I can see more of where I need to go than before.
I’ve actually been having some weird second-thoughts about the occult… not about my path or practices, but what the occult really is. I feel like it’s even less ritual and more about just living in the way you want to live. Sure I like the act of ceremony, but it doesn’t feel like I should play the act for myself. I do like to give off the vibe of a strange mysterious mad wizard, but I think I overthink my ritual too much, which is funny because my ritual is always just doing what feels right in the moment.
The takeaway of all of this is that I need to stop thinking about ‘doing a working’, and just live and breathe magick without all the trappings of the theatre of magick. Sure I still need to be dramatic and wizardly, but the way to do that is different than setting up rituals and stuff all the time.
Things are interesting.

What book references did you have for the Shem Angels? Started a working with the Goetics spirits on 11/11 in a slightly different way.

As far as the Shem Angels, I had a list of them and their powers as per Bardon that was written up by a Hermetic Kabbalist I used to be friends with. He was super OCD about making sure things were correct and stuff, and I was cross-referencing with Wikipedia for the corresponding Goetics. I’ll put the resource on a pastebin and send you the link in a bit.

Thanks appreciated. I did start going through this thread writing down a list of the corresponding Goetics.
I been using the goetic seals to connect and travel through them.
I haven’t found much on the Shem angels. Though just names.

Any updates on your transition after this pathworking?
It’s really hard to describe. Imagine being more yourself than you ever were before, more aware and sensitive to the flow of the world, and more in-tune with your own ability. If my humility wasn’t hardwired into my being, I could easily see myself getting power-drunk from this. I actually almost did anyways.

I think I may have to perform a similar operation in the near future.
