That’s my question, and I have a couple more, but let’s start with the one in the title, which is the simplest: Should the God names that appear in the book be vibrated? They look like the kind of words that should be vibrated, but that’s not mentioned anywhere, and since we’re talking about the God names that appear in that book, can anyone give me the source where they came from? It’s not that I don’t trust it, but for some reason I feel like the spells are less likely to work if I don’t know the meaning of what I’m saying. Another question I have is about the spells that appear there. Can I modify them even a little bit? They are what I need, but I feel like I have to adapt them to my needs. Will they still work if I do that? For example, I have someone who is harassing me online. I only know his username, which may or may not be his real name, and I want to use one of the NAP spells to get rid of him. Will it still work under these conditions? My last question is about the frequency of rituals: I have always read that you should not repeat the same ritual or request over and over again until you get results because that interferes with the magick, but NAP seems to urge me to do the opposite: It asks me to request the same thing for at least a week. What’s up with that?
Some magick is repeated. For example, in the books by the Gallery of Magick, you are often told to perform the same ritual for a certain number of days.
NAP focuses heavily on repetition so the more you practice, the better the results.
Yes, you can, though NAP is a pretty simplified system already.
It isn’t necessary if the author doesn’t state it is, but if you feel they should be vibrated, then there is no harm in doing so.
NAP is based on the rituals of the Golden Dawn. The godnames are pretty standard in the Western Ceremonial Tradition.
Well, that answers all my questions, thank you!
Oh well, there is one last question I forgot to ask, which is: The book asks me to find a place in total silence so I can relax and perform the rituals. That’s totally impossible. I can find places that are calm and where I can relax, but they will never be completely free of noise. I will always hear dogs, birds, vehicles, or even the noise made by the appliances in my house. They don’t prevent me from relaxing, but the book asks for silence. Will it be okay if I do it even under those conditions?
Yes, that’s fine. Total silence is practically impossible unless you have access to a sensory deprivation tank or something. Even in the author’s own time, complete silence wasn’t really possible so I don’t think he really meant utter silence, more like no distractions. Shut off your cell phone and computer, close your windows to mute the sounds of traffic, put up a do not disturb sign, those kind of things. The idea is to withdraw yourself from the external world and turn inward.
