That is actually my goal, to work through MM in 6-12/months, as well as The Osiris Scroll by Farrell, which is an Egyptian take of Abramelin.

Currently on third chapter of MM and reading through first chap of TOS. And nearing receipt of first flame.
That is a very worthy goal. Libber MM isnât as intensive as Franz Bardonâs Initiation into Hermetics, but it is progressive and will very much develop the mind states necessary for magick.

Especially if you split it into six months work, by chap 1/7, 2/8, 3/9, 4/10, 5/11, 6/12. That way by air grade you are also doing evocation.

@DarkestKnight ⌠Was just thinking about a LHP approach to MM ⌠Make all kaballah references qlippoth references, pentagrams inverted pentagrams , and so on.
Thatâs not a LHP approach. All youâre doing is inverting things. Simply reversing pentagrams and changing Sephiroth to Qlippoth does not make what you are doing LHP. YOU make it Left Hand. Changing things to the inverse can disrupt the whole energetic framework of whatever youâre doing, and cut out the living magick from the ritual.
The LHP is, to me at least, more about how you approach things. You can call the Watchtowers and the angels in a left hand way just as well as if you replaced them with demons. Watch the video of EA calling the Watchtowers. He doesnât replace the angels with demons, but approaches the whole ritual with a Left Hand mindset.
I have a PDF copy of Liber MM and there is no Kabbalah references or need for pentagrams at all, so Iâm not sure what youâre referencing. MM is all about trance and image concentration, and learning to get into the mindset.

Kraigs modern magick? There are loads of Qabalah references and pentagram/LBRP references.
Oh, sorry, my bad. I thought you meant Carolâs Liber MM.
Yes, there is a lot of kabbalah stuff in Modern Magick because itâs Golden Dawn derived Western Ceremonial Magick, and all of it is necessary for the system to work.
Changing the Sephiroth to Qlippoth and pentagrams to inverse, would break apart everything you are trying to accomplish. You canât just insert whatever you want into a system and expect it to work properly. You need to learn the system as it is first, before you start tinkering with it. Otherwise, youâre not going to get anywhere.
All the innovators of magick, like Crowley, and Spare, they learned the traditional system first, before they started trying ways to make it better. Before creating Jeet Kune Do, Bruce Lee mastered the traditional art of Wing Chun, because It wasnât until he knew it inside and out, that he could see its limitations. EA learned the traditional methods of magick before he started creating his own system. See the pattern?
