LBRP for noobs

Atha (I think it’s also the most correct version of that Hebrew word) means “yours”, “to you” or “in you”. So, the complete ‘phrase’ of Qabalistic Cross is “yours are the kingdom, power and glory forever”. Potentially the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram sends away spirits.

I like Crowley’s version of it :purple_heart:: “to you, Aiwass, the kingdom, the power and the glory forever”

Yeah I dislike how overly complex and fancy lbrp is. It ceremonial magik and I’m a low magik type really, so for me, it takes waaay too long and doesn’t resonate… it calls a bunch of angelic entities if I recall rightly and if I want to clear my space why would I call more?

My preferred space cleanser is just consecrated salt water.

Is this the entire banishing?

If you are strong enough and makes sense to you, then yes, but that part was intented to replace the regular opening of the ritual and then perform the ritual as always, You can actually put there any name, like for example, instead of Aiwass I say Azazel. The point is, that instead of doing the regular Qabalistic cross, when you say “Aiwass” you touch your chest (heart chakra zone) and when you say “kingdom” you touch your genitals (base chakra zone), and then your shoulders (heart chakra watchtowers zone) as it is done regularly

The LBRP is perfect for beginners. In fact, within the Golden Dawn, it was traditionally the only ritual a beginner was taught for a full year, because it not only clears a space and banishes the unwanted, but it also teaches the prerequisite skills necessary for magick, visualisation, energy manipulation, and the vibration of words of power.

There is nothing demonic about the LBRP, and the words used in it are Hebrew so don’t fear you’re going to attract something bad. The whole purpose of the ritual is to clear an area and set a circle, enforced by the setting of the the four archangels at the cardinal points. Nothing will get in that you don’t want.

You got lots of quality answers, I’ll also drop a link to a walk-through I did with a member to create wards, which is to say magickal shields to protect himself: creation of wards in simple stages.

Thank you so much Lady_Eva :slight_smile:

Thank you so much…But to be honest, I am not doing the complicated LBRP. I am doing the one that is easier and simplified by EA Koetting

The LBRP is the single first thing you need to learn before anything else.

Ah ok. Thanks…Do I have to learn the over complicated method of the LBRP that is by the Golden Dawn? OR can I use the simple one by EA KOetting?

You should learn the whole ritual. Then, when the time feels right, you might change it to something else if needed. If you think the LBRP is complicated to memorize, then you are not gonna get far into magick, I’m afraid.

Ah ok…thanks

You can do it! Believe me, once you start memorizing complicated rituals, your mind will get used to it and will be able to absorb much more information in less time. Soon you will learn all kinds of rituals in a fraction of the time.

There is some interesting discussion in Golden Dawn circles as to whether this is actually a mistake and one should perform the LIRP (Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram) just as much as the LBRP, however:

If I remember correctly, Frater U.D., in his course on the Western Ceremonial Tradition (comprised of two books titled High Magick Part I and II) says something along those lines as well. He starts with the LBRP, and then the LIRP, and then the Hexagram rituals.

Hi . Can you tell me more about the consecrated salt water?
I have blessed salt. And I have sea water. And ordinary store salt.
What is your process?

Use filtered water and ordinary salt, mix, get into trance and balance your energy, make the swordfingers handsign with your index and middle fingers straight out and the others curled, use that to aim energy visualised as white light from your balanced system and set you intent that the water is so consecrated by your personal divine energy.
