Useful video, it has been driving me crazy seeing inconsistences between Kabbalistic cardinal point correspondences and the LBRP, particularly South and North, Michael with his sword(Air) and Leo,(Fire+Sun) yet assigned to fire, Kabbalistically Sun is Air, yet astrologically Fire!, Raphael with the wand(fire) yet on Eastern-Air. Then Biblical correspondences being different. For such an important Ritual, these kind of inconsistences are uncomfortable, the whole system seems to be messy at best, just like allocation of Gods to the tree, which seem to belong in multiple Sepheroth, maybe I am missing something, but its like some impossible jigsaw!.
🙅♂️🙅🙅♂️ I've practiced the LBRP along with other Golden Dawn-based rituals daily for over three years now. It's been the most incredibly effective meditative energy work I've engaged with so far....in so many different ways. Thank you for this fascinating summary of what we know its origins and the intentions behind its construction, Dr. Puca!
I do find it both interesting and curious that, in regard to the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, the banishing form is currently emphasized by most practitioners, whereas in the original Golden Dawn, the invoking form was emphasized. The Knowledge Lecture given to Neophytes instructed in the Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram, and the banishing form was mentioned in footnotes, almost as an afterthought. Does anyone know when the banishing form became the focus? Was this a Regardie-ism?
Thank you so much for this video! I have a daily ritual practice that starts and ends with performances of the LBRP. I have tried many variations over the years and I've come to the conclusion that the details don't matter so much as the mind-state you get into performing the ritual. It is a fantastic ritual for beginners because it helps you practice a lot of magical skills such as visualization and vibration, as well as how to enter a devotional state of mind and feel the presence of the Divine. Daily practice helps you learn discipline and dedication. I'm not exactly sure how it works but there is something about letting yourself be a powerful magician at the center of the universe in the presence of God and the Archangels that just changes you. I started a serious daily practice over three years ago and my life has found direction and purpose and I'm really thriving now. It really helped me discover who I really am and what my relationship to my environment is. Discovering my true self has been like tuning a radio dial, in that I feel like the signal is gets clearer and clearer over time as I figure out who I was really meant to be in this lifetime. I'm so incredibly happy with my life these days and I owe a lot of it to pretending to be a wizard for an hour a day. 😂 🙅
Read "The Holy Kabballah" by Arthur Edward Waite it explains the four cardinal directions as they were in ancient times not the inverted way we see them now. West is Air East is Fire South is water And North is Earth. Spirit is the occultist in the center.
LBRP is one of those things that really does not get enough attention. It is a great template of anyone who is looking to expand their magick. It has a lot of great elements and is based on that traditional Jewish prayer that was defined from the original aramanic one. Great video.
@@Ruey-pv7jx I always find uneducated morons like you stumbling into comments sections like this as though you never even watched the video. You are obviously of some dunce orthodox religious persuasion and have seen accounts of people converting to your religion after doing some evil devilish thing that they have since turned from. You are very easily manipulated. Magic is how you program yourself, if you imagine you are terrible at everything and won't achieve anything then that is what will eventuate from perpetually doing such a thing, if you think everything is fantastic and you are great then again that is the experience that will eventuate regardless of the truth of the situation. If you think saying certain things to a great power will make your life better, then if that is what you genuinely believe it will happen, whether this is your own perceptions or actual manipulation of forces or the universe itself is up for debate, but the end result of altering your perceptions is the same. Elaborate rituals help to concrete said perceptual altering. Hurting people is only a thing if you wish to inflict harm upon others, that is cursing and is a subset of magic, saying cursing is the begin all and end all of magic is like saying punching someone in the head is the only use arms have.
Regarding the consecration of a space, I like William G. Gray's setting up of the Time Space Event circles, from his hugely underrated masterpiece "Magical Ritual Methods", then there's NLP's psychological variant, the Circle of Excellence.
Loving your lectures, Dr. Puca, I am learning a lot of theory behind the practice. Thank you for your holistic approach on the history of magick. 🙅🏻♀️🖤
I'd do the emoji thing but my old eyes can't find the right ones. History of the occult holds a special place in my heart and I was delighted with your presentation. I did the QC first thing in the morning for years and I teach the LBRP to my students still, some 40 years after I was taught it.
🙅♀ Thank you again! I´ve been constructing my own banishing ritual for about 15 years now, and it works for me as a positioning act that helps me be more present in reality and more aware of my desires and hopefully my ·true will· too. I guess it is functional enough for me, like a mindfulness exercise maybe, but created by myself using various sources and direct experiences i've been collecting through the years. I'm a visual artist and it has served as a great source of inspiration for my work.
16:11 To make this clear, she's citing from chapter 10 of Regardie's "The Tree of Life", where he says he couldn't trace any authoritative reference, prior to The Equinox (see earlier in this video), which bears the slightest resemblance to the LBRP. But then he brings up the book Dogma and Ritual (Levi), which quotes from the LBRP in 1854. And then he implies some sort of thread going back thru Agrippa and Barrett all the way back to medieval magicians, mentioning a License to Depart which was associated with exorcisms, evocations, defenestration, and banishings in general, including a quote from Goetia, and instructions from Chaldean Oracles and how to raise a devil dog. And that's just covered on like 6 pages from The Tree Of Life. What a weird book!
As far as evocations, banishing rituals are the equivalent of the venue turning on all the lights and blasting "Exodus" at closing time... giving ever stronger hints that it's time to go.
Thank you very much, I was totally lost on where to start finding actual bibliographical and academical references on the ritual. I love your work. Thanks!
I loved this synopsis of the LBRP. I've been practicing this ritual and the LBRH daily for years now and have found them very effective in clearing negative energy.

I knew these rituals originated with the golden dawn, but I never understood their source material. Thanks for illuminating this topic!
I enjoyed the education you provided in this dissertation. Being a roleplayer in a game of theater of the mind in the year 1888 as a Consulting Detective in London dealing with this very material is quite timely. I have a better grasp of the history, and better understand why I got my pentagram tattoo many years ago. Cheers!
An excellent look at the history of the LRP! I practice the LRP in conjunction with the rest of the GD system. Thank you very much for making this video!
I did learned it lesser banishing of the pentagram when I started practicing. But later transformed it to a more left-hand esk version , using the quarters of lavey ... And I also have an Egyptian version... Also depending on who I'm doing ritual for I will adapt it to their style. The only thing I change are the Hebrew wording for a more left hand path or Egyptian or Norse.
Glad you mentioned Gerald Gardner. You may want to look into his membership, income, freemasonry, specifically the French order. Me adroit Humain. Their English language ritual for the first- degree has elements that gardener, obviously took and put into his craft ritual. It was very familiar to me when I was initiated into the lodge, especially since the American “pagan Way “tradition has a mixture of both gardeners, ecstatic worship, and the golden dawns more hermetic, an intellectual focus.
Do your worship, but pagans murder humans & animals. Lots of pagans , as clearly evident here, so pagans exist 💯. There are millions of missing people 💯. 2 +2 =4.
Excellent research as always Dr. Puca. I'd just like to make one minor point. From 20:20 mins you mention that the ritual "also uses" the "𝘏𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮". • This reference is of course symbolic and 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥, rather than literal, and relates to the 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘥 or 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘪𝘦𝘥 positioning of oneself in Tipareth during the ritual. *(As a side note, Crowley seems to recommend visualising oneself on the horizontal plane in this regard , with Malkuth behind and Kether ahead, as opposed to the more commonly understood vertical alignment, wherein Malkuth would be below and Kether above). • The Hexagram, although not actually included in the actual ritual text, creates the link, as you suggest, between macrocosm and microcosm, and can also be considered a reference to the significance of the Adeptus Minor grade (5°=6□), the resolution of which is the number 11, being that of Magick and the Odic Force (according to Crowley and Alan Bennet's codification in Sephir 𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩), and the Knowledge and Conversation of the HGA. Keep up your amazing work Angela, it's invaluable.
*grabs popcorn* Just started your video, so excited what there's new to learn! I was just talking about the LBRP to a friend recently and realised how many open questions I actually have about its origins, even after many years of practice...
🙅🙅 as a freemason, I love seeing how much our ritual has tangibly influenced esoteric praxis. You’re helping even me learn so much more about our ritual just by teaching me about other systems of practice. Thank you so much for the work you do!
This ritual or should I say the genuine rite predates freemasonry and the golden dawn by century's plus what kind of genuine freemason reveals he is one on TH-cam . F A K E
Very clear ideas on how carefully chosen eclectic sources and codification come together to create an irresistible kind of ‘standard operating system’ for building any modern magic on top of. Not only the sources as you mention, but also the orchestration of modalities: visualization, vibration, ritualized movement and postures with classic geometry and ancient language prayers (like the Lords Prayer in Hebrew) . I think the idea of it alone unleashes endless creativity in different implementations.
What an important video. You cover information that many people don't even question when they work with this ritual. I have been wondering about this for many years and I'm happy to have the understanding of why Christian beliefs are being mixed with magic. I have seen this in other traditions like Chinese medicine. That what we call ancient practice is very likely something that was created and inspired by the peoples of its time. The creativity and inspiration of rituals and philosophies is not a bad thing in my opinion. It actually gives us more reason to be critical thinkers while we engage in these sources and materials. I think that it's a good thing and it doesn't necessarily reduce their value and significance. Thank you again
Wow, thank you!! As someone just interested in understanded the cultural phenomena of religion, cults, and the modern revival of witchy-ness, finding any reputable sources of information is...exhausting. Thank you for providing clear, thorough information. My eyes have also been opening to more and more (and more) Christian/Christian-appropriated-Jewish symbolism that's so embedded in popular Tarot iterations and withcy practices, and I was struggling to understand where these traditions were coming from. Looks like a lot of it goes back to the Golden Dawn (of Marketing). Thank you again for all of your work!
Another ritual influenced by LBRP is the Setting of the Wards of Power by the English magical order Aurum Solis, belonging to the Ogdoadic Tradition, formed in London in 1897 by the occultists George Stanton and Charles Kingold. The Setting of the Wards exists in one Hebrew version and a Greek (Neoplatonic) version. The Setting, unlike LBRP, uses a widdershins drawn circle and uses a white visualized pentagram visualized and framed on the forehead of the magician and then visualized as being flung to the each of the four quarters successively. It has the names Ruachiel, Ashiel, Mamiel and Auphiriel instead of Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Uriel. And in the Greek version the Archon names Soter, Alastor, Asphaleios and Amyntor are used. It also incorporates Orphic symbolism alluding to the Waters of Chaos and the Serpent: "He peleia kai ho Ophis to Oion". The visualized images of the archangels/archons are much like those of The Golden Dawn. Cf. Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips - Mysteria Magica, Llewellyn Publishing.
Always wanted to dig more into the Aurim Solis but have a hard time understanding the how’s from the book Misteria Magica. Probably need to concentrate a bit more on it
Sorry, but this 'tradition' only appeared in the 1970s when it seems Llewellyn wanted to sell more books. Before that time there is no evidence for this order at all.
I look forward to listening to this! In my early twenties, I met a wizard who became my magical teacher. He was an OTO person, so LBRP was one of the first "formal" rites I learned. It will always hold a space in my heart ❤
The ancient Greeks had pentagrams on coins saying ΥΓΙΘΑ which meant perfect proportionality, health and developed into hygiene. It's about the water molecule, the 3 triangles that make the pentagram, the 4 elements and Idea. Air= spiritus sanctus and Water pointing upwards as rain comes from the heavens. Idea pointing down.
Though I have never used the LBRP myself, the use of the acronym as a shorthand for any similar procedural practice has certainly come up in my life. A particular thing I do on a very regular basis is something I've referred to as the Ephesia Grammata version of the LBRP. As something of a joke (and yet also somewhat serious!), we also have often quasi-pronounced the acronym, as if it is a pseudo-French way of talking about eructation: "Le BuRP." ;)
🙅♀Is that the right emoji? Haha, anyway made it to the end. Good take on the roots of this one. In my view it doesn't matter that it was created when it was, it still functions on its own merits. It's kind of a very English creation as it's woven from the different cultures all swirling around London at the time the Golden Dawn was active. People take Christianity as a solid thing but it's just as eclectic as the Golden Dawn in reality, especially before Rome used it to continue ruling as much of humanity as it could capture right on through the Age of Pisces. The Bible is hobbled together from scads of ancient documents, Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian and Hebrew inputs galore. The age is new so we need new religions. The 9th house of Aquarius is Libra where the ecumenical ethic arises, taking over from Scorpio on the previous 9th where it was physically more dangerous to travel beyond your local environs than it is now with Aquarius on the rising of the Tropical Equinox. Scorpio is the Holy Monster Church that swallows everything and hoards it underground like a dragon, most people died who dared venture beyond their native lands. Libra opens the world to Pax Templi. Fresh air in the precessional 9th house brings Ma'At back into the world, and Aquarius as the guide of identity knows itself to be a star unlike Pisces just taking the shape of whatever container a dictator slaps on us. Do it yourself religion is a key to the Age in my opinion. The basic stance of science is 'try it and see what happens, and take notes', not 'trust the $cience, a holdover from when Pisces was the guide to identity and it was correct to 'do as the Romans do' so as to not be jailed, enslaved, or executed by tyrant rulers, still a problem but not to the degree it was when you couldn't simply hop on a train, bus or airplane and be in some far off land in a matter of hours.

🙅♂ Thank you very much for this great retelling of Wheeler's study! I felt LBRP is a very messy thing the practitioner is actually supposed to tailor to oneself's understanding of esoteric knowledge so it would be more natural, effective and private to them specifically. It does not bear the authority it seems to have, which is actually inspiring. Who knows: maybe it is one of many things that feed the people's interest in Chaos Magic nowadays?
Great video so clear and concise I was however waiting to hear if any intentional “blinds” were put into the publicly disclosed ritual to thwart the uninitiated, thank you Angela ❤
The Kate Bush song and accompanying video for 'Lily' seems to be very much based on the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram - the video, taken from her short film The Line, the Cross and The Curve is up on TH-cam in various places.
You are very erudite I wish I could speak Italian as well as you speak English. If I may quote the motto on an old Italian il Nono special forces badge given to me by an old friend long dead, "OLTRE LA MORTE" The badge also has upon it a skull, a black cat (refering to the mystical 9 lives) and wings. Keep up the Great Work.☠️🐈⬛🦇. May the spirit of grappa be with you always.
I had a HPS early on that was very into the GD and so we all learned the LBRP and practiced it pretty regularly in addition to things like the Resh vel helios and various ceremonial magick rituals. I am glad you brought up the bedtime shema I've also found that a curious connection with the angel calls. I will say my take on the GD is that while they employ jewish concepts it's like jewish concepts approached through a christian lens. I don't think there is very much Judaism at all in their system. All good food for thought for sure.
Thank you for this wonderful video ,please LBRP is it the same like trace a circle with fine salt or chalk from EAST,SOuth,West,North by invoking the element of fire,water,air,earth that represent incense,candle,salt,water and by invoking watch towers and invite the deity in when close the circle and after the ritual dismiss the deity open the circle and allows the energies to return to the respective places? If yes let me know by answer me.
Loved this breakdown of origins. I would like to know if the same sources were used to form similar rituals of the Aurum Solis, or did Denning and Phillips create the "ogdoadic tradition" out of the air?
🙅🏾♀️ Really good video! I used to be a member of one of the golden dawn orders back in the 90ies so I did the LBRP every day for years. Not my cup of tea anymore though
THAT is an interesting take! I have always been suspicious of the LBRP -As of the "why", that is beyond me. I have heard there are many problematics with this simple ritual, in the logic of it. Would you mind share your account of how that worked on/for you please?
@labellalabrutta2148 Well, that's over 20 years ago now, but I do remember it being mostly a sort of training or magical workout routine. Sort of. As for what it did to me, in the beginning there were times when I felt something more, like that the angels were there in a sense, but it faded quickly and it was over time more mechanical than anything else

*grabs popcorn* Just started your video, so excited what there's new to learn! I was just talking about the LBRP to a friend recently and realised how many open questions I actually have about its origins, even after many years of practice...
🙅🙅 as a freemason, I love seeing how much our ritual has tangibly influenced esoteric praxis. You’re helping even me learn so much more about our ritual just by teaching me about other systems of practice. Thank you so much for the work you do!
Wonderful!
This ritual or should I say the genuine rite predates freemasonry and the golden dawn by century's plus what kind of genuine freemason reveals he is one on TH-cam . F A K E
nice, good to know, i am waiting to find out if i am black balled or not
And who preceeded and influenced freemasonic rituals?
@@RegnaSaturnaExactly
I was enlightened by this lecture, like all your videos, thank you Dr Puca.
Under nature is my old channel and probably has more of a variety.
@@Thomasisthekey Thank you,I shall go and view it.
Very clear ideas on how carefully chosen eclectic sources and codification come together to create an irresistible kind of ‘standard operating system’ for building any modern magic on top of. Not only the sources as you mention, but also the orchestration of modalities: visualization, vibration, ritualized movement and postures with classic geometry and ancient language prayers (like the Lords Prayer in Hebrew) .
I think the idea of it alone unleashes endless creativity in different implementations.
What an important video. You cover information that many people don't even question when they work with this ritual. I have been wondering about this for many years and I'm happy to have the understanding of why Christian beliefs are being mixed with magic. I have seen this in other traditions like Chinese medicine. That what we call ancient practice is very likely something that was created and inspired by the peoples of its time. The creativity and inspiration of rituals and philosophies is not a bad thing in my opinion. It actually gives us more reason to be critical thinkers while we engage in these sources and materials. I think that it's a good thing and it doesn't necessarily reduce their value and significance. Thank you again
Wow, thank you!! As someone just interested in understanded the cultural phenomena of religion, cults, and the modern revival of witchy-ness, finding any reputable sources of information is...exhausting. Thank you for providing clear, thorough information. My eyes have also been opening to more and more (and more) Christian/Christian-appropriated-Jewish symbolism that's so embedded in popular Tarot iterations and withcy practices, and I was struggling to understand where these traditions were coming from. Looks like a lot of it goes back to the Golden Dawn (of Marketing). Thank you again for all of your work!
🙅 awesome video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Hello Dr.Pucca wishing blessings and hello from Saint Louis
Another ritual influenced by LBRP is the Setting of the Wards of Power by the English magical order Aurum Solis, belonging to the Ogdoadic Tradition, formed in London in 1897 by the occultists George Stanton and Charles Kingold.
The Setting of the Wards exists in one Hebrew version and a Greek (Neoplatonic) version.
The Setting, unlike LBRP, uses a widdershins drawn circle and uses a white visualized pentagram visualized and framed on the forehead of the magician and then visualized as being flung to the each of the four quarters successively.
It has the names Ruachiel, Ashiel, Mamiel and Auphiriel instead of Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Uriel.
And in the Greek version the Archon names Soter, Alastor, Asphaleios and Amyntor are used.
It also incorporates Orphic symbolism alluding to the Waters of Chaos and the Serpent: "He peleia kai ho Ophis to Oion".
The visualized images of the archangels/archons are much like those of The Golden Dawn.
Cf. Melita Denning and Osborne Phillips - Mysteria Magica, Llewellyn Publishing.
Always wanted to dig more into the Aurim Solis but have a hard time understanding the how’s from the book Misteria Magica. Probably need to concentrate a bit more on it
Sorry, but this 'tradition' only appeared in the 1970s when it seems Llewellyn wanted to sell more books. Before that time there is no evidence for this order at all.
Shelve it alongside the Necronomicon from the 70s and the Secret Grimoire of Turiel.
I look forward to listening to this! In my early twenties, I met a wizard who became my magical teacher. He was an OTO person, so LBRP was one of the first "formal" rites I learned. It will always hold a space in my heart ❤
The ancient Greeks had pentagrams on coins saying ΥΓΙΘΑ which meant perfect proportionality, health and developed into hygiene. It's about the water molecule, the 3 triangles that make the pentagram, the 4 elements and Idea. Air= spiritus sanctus and Water pointing upwards as rain comes from the heavens. Idea pointing down.
@petetestube2904 I guess it was but there weren't like 100 different clubs trying to sell you their esoteric bs back then.
Thank you for sharing this!🙅🏾♀️
Well done and thank you Angela, this was very informative and helpful ., and you are always entertaining. 🙏🙏❤❤
You are so welcome
@@drangelapuca Thank you ! Just away to do my morning LBRP now !!!
🙅♀️ Fascinating lecture as always Dr.P!
Though I have never used the LBRP myself, the use of the acronym as a shorthand for any similar procedural practice has certainly come up in my life. A particular thing I do on a very regular basis is something I've referred to as the Ephesia Grammata version of the LBRP.
As something of a joke (and yet also somewhat serious!), we also have often quasi-pronounced the acronym, as if it is a pseudo-French way of talking about eructation: "Le BuRP." ;)
Cool video x
Glorious! Favorite video yet. Thank you Dr. Pucca! I want you to continue making deep dive videos about specific modern rituals. So mote it be.
《 ☆🙅☆》
More to come!
Great video! Replace the pentagrams with the ankh and the quarters with the fours sons of Horus! And you have a much more powerful technique.
Very well presented and informative Dr. Angela many thanks. ✌🙅🖤✴
You are so welcome
🙅🏻♂️excelente como siempre
🙅♀Is that the right emoji? Haha, anyway made it to the end. Good take on the roots of this one. In my view it doesn't matter that it was created when it was, it still functions on its own merits. It's kind of a very English creation as it's woven from the different cultures all swirling around London at the time the Golden Dawn was active. People take Christianity as a solid thing but it's just as eclectic as the Golden Dawn in reality, especially before Rome used it to continue ruling as much of humanity as it could capture right on through the Age of Pisces. The Bible is hobbled together from scads of ancient documents, Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian and Hebrew inputs galore.
The age is new so we need new religions. The 9th house of Aquarius is Libra where the ecumenical ethic arises, taking over from Scorpio on the previous 9th where it was physically more dangerous to travel beyond your local environs than it is now with Aquarius on the rising of the Tropical Equinox. Scorpio is the Holy Monster Church that swallows everything and hoards it underground like a dragon, most people died who dared venture beyond their native lands. Libra opens the world to Pax Templi. Fresh air in the precessional 9th house brings Ma'At back into the world, and Aquarius as the guide of identity knows itself to be a star unlike Pisces just taking the shape of whatever container a dictator slaps on us.
Do it yourself religion is a key to the Age in my opinion. The basic stance of science is 'try it and see what happens, and take notes', not 'trust the $cience, a holdover from when Pisces was the guide to identity and it was correct to 'do as the Romans do' so as to not be jailed, enslaved, or executed by tyrant rulers, still a problem but not to the degree it was when you couldn't simply hop on a train, bus or airplane and be in some far off land in a matter of hours.
yes it is!
Nice! I've been looking forward to this.
Cspricious. Great word for any powerful being.
Arms crossed, can't find emjo. This passed weekend we just experience a ritual close to what you just said. But we had 5, spirit was the 5th. 😊
🙅♂ As usual, the curated transcript was made available to all Inner Symposium members in Patreon and now an online version at www.innersymposium.study/?p=4226
where this and previous videos can be translated into most languages by clicking on the 🌍 button. 🙅 BTW search for a NO EMOJI to find a crossed-arm emoji.
🙅♂️...!! Durante toda la pandemia lo practiqué bajo la visión de Damien Echols... resultó altamente efectivo como destierro y con un efecto purificador... sin mencionar que puede usarse para manifestar... gracias por tu trabajo!!
🙅🏻🙅🏻 I watched this post on LBRP and GD twice! Thank you for your dedication and insight ⭐️
Awesome! Thank you!
🙅♂ Great, informative content as always, Dr. Puca. Thank you!
Great job👌
Thank you Angela. This was really really fascinating. On a personal level, do you also find value in these practices?
Yes, absolutely
Eyeshadow tutorial please ❤️
My absolute favorite ritual. ❤
Often wondered about the Banishishing Ritual thanks for educating us on the history and application of the LBRP
🙅great info thank you
I did the LBR daily for over 20 years. It is very effective.
🙅♂ Thank you very much for this great retelling of Wheeler's study!
I felt LBRP is a very messy thing the practitioner is actually supposed to tailor to oneself's understanding of esoteric knowledge so it would be more natural, effective and private to them specifically. It does not bear the authority it seems to have, which is actually inspiring. Who knows: maybe it is one of many things that feed the people's interest in Chaos Magic nowadays?
Fascinating 👍
Great video so clear and concise I was however waiting to hear if any intentional “blinds” were put into the publicly disclosed ritual to thwart the uninitiated, thank you Angela ❤
Marvelous as always.. tour lectures aré hypnotizing... I love them. I like GD sincretism...
Can you do a video on Papus and Eliphas Levi? Thanks
🙅Great presentation and info!
Glad you liked it!
thiso one is used always and is really good
🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️Also has Black Panther vibes now too😅
Thankyou for another wonderful video! I'd often wondered where it came from😊
The Kate Bush song and accompanying video for 'Lily' seems to be very much based on the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram - the video, taken from her short film The Line, the Cross and The Curve is up on TH-cam in various places.
🙅 You are awesome!
You are very erudite
I wish I could speak Italian as well as you speak English. If I may quote the motto on an old Italian il Nono special forces badge given to me by an old friend long dead, "OLTRE LA MORTE" The badge also has upon it a skull, a black cat (refering to the mystical 9 lives) and wings. Keep up the Great Work.☠️🐈⬛🦇. May the spirit of grappa be with you always.
🙅 Incredible! ❤️🔥
I had a HPS early on that was very into the GD and so we all learned the LBRP and practiced it pretty regularly in addition to things like the Resh vel helios and various ceremonial magick rituals. I am glad you brought up the bedtime shema I've also found that a curious connection with the angel calls. I will say my take on the GD is that while they employ jewish concepts it's like jewish concepts approached through a christian lens. I don't think there is very much Judaism at all in their system. All good food for thought for sure.
Definitely powerful stuff. I’m curiose to know if it’s mainly done in English speaking countries or in Europe as well? As Italy?
it's popular in Italy, too, among those interested or invonved in ceremonial magic
Informative as always.
Thanks again!
🙅🏻♂️ Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Yiu earned a sub!
Excellent summary ❤
Glad you think so!
IIRC, Israel Regardie maintained that the initiate would attain if they practiced the LBRP twice a day, every day, for five years.
⚔️ great for chronology thanks ❤
Regardie books, physical copies at least, are quite expensive which sucks.
If you so choose... use no protection... it is only to comfort u and is no garrentee
Thank you for this wonderful video ,please LBRP is it the same like trace a circle with fine salt or chalk from EAST,SOuth,West,North by invoking the element of fire,water,air,earth that represent incense,candle,salt,water and by invoking watch towers and invite the deity in when close the circle and after the ritual dismiss the deity open the circle and allows the energies to return to the respective places? If yes let me know by answer me.
Crossed arms: Osiris Risen, the Formulation of the Pentagram, Analysis of the Keyword,...
Yeah, 🙅♀️ _literally_ has a pentagram vibe. 😊
Loved this breakdown of origins. I would like to know if the same sources were used to form similar rituals of the Aurum Solis, or did Denning and Phillips create the "ogdoadic tradition" out of the air?
What is the difference berween the triangular and hexagonal points on the 32 pointed stars?
🙅🙅♂Thanks for interesting lecture
Most welcome
Great Job, Thanks!
🙅🏾♀️
Really good video! I used to be a member of one of the golden dawn orders back in the 90ies so I did the LBRP every day for years. Not my cup of tea anymore though
THAT is an interesting take!
I have always been suspicious of the LBRP -As of the "why", that is beyond me. I have heard there are many problematics with this simple ritual, in the logic of it. Would you mind share your account of how that worked on/for you please?
@labellalabrutta2148 Well, that's over 20 years ago now, but I do remember it being mostly a sort of training or magical workout routine. Sort of. As for what it did to me, in the beginning there were times when I felt something more, like that the angels were there in a sense, but it faded quickly and it was over time more mechanical than anything else
Amazing how few people seem to achnowledge LBRP as the scaffolding of the circle and compaass in Wicca and Trad Craft.
Where are all the missing people ❓Sacrifice is murder.
🙅♂ The pentagram always had a kind of shielding vibe when seeing it.
