The Mystical PentagramTechnique for Self-Awareness

The Mystical Pentagram is a technique which will enhancepsychic self-awareness. Practiced on a daily basis it will produce surprisingindividual results.

To begin, you will need a table of correspondences suchas “777″ by AleisterCrowley. Look up the names of the gods and goddesses and pick a name for eachelement(air, fire, water, earth, spirit) which when chanted ‘feels’ right foryou.(if you feel relaxed, comfortable and generally positive you would knowthat a name would be in tune with my inner self.)

Once you have found the five names you are ready toproceed.

Visualize the five psychic centers. Memorize theirpositions so that you become familiar with the positions. Visualize a brilliantwhite light forming a circle above your head in the spirit center. Mentallydraw a white light pentagram within the circle of light. This should be aninvoking pentagram.

Next see a shaft of white light radiate down through yourhead stopping at your throat. See a circle of white light begin to form andpulsate. Mentally draw an invoking pentagram within the circle of light andvocally vibrate your chosen name for the air center. Continue to stimulate thiscenter for at least five minutes.

Repeat this procedure for your torso(fire), stomacharea(water), feet(earth).

When all of the energy centers have been stimulated,direct the light energy from the spirit center to the earth center. As youexhale see the light travel from the top of your head down through your body tothe bottom of your feet. As you inhale see the energy travel from your feet upthrough your body up to the top of your head, the spirit center. Thiscirculation should be persisted for at least seven minutes. See the energycleanse and vitalize every part of your being and expand your awareness tocosmic consciousness.

Continue to repeat this technique each day you will beginto see and feel a change in your psychic awareness and a marked improvement inyour health. Don’t become discouraged if you don’t achieve results immediately.This technique produces very positive effects but they are cumulative innature.

Lesser Ritual of ThePentagram

One of the most basic and useful ceremonial rituals ofmagick is called the banishing ritual, or lesser ritual of the pentagram. Thebanishing ritual is helpful in psychic protection and healing because it formsa protective barrier against evil forces. The psychic barrier it creates can bemade to permit entry of desired (constructive) forces and the exclusion ofnegative ones.

The banishing ritual is an essential first step in almostany formal full magick ceremony. The ritual requires that you use a ceremonialknife, and to “draw” the pentagram in the air above your head.Also, you will be chanting (‘vibrating’)Eh-Ei-He.

Holding your magical weapon extend your arm out straightin front of you. In this ritual you will use the full sweep of your arm to drawthe pentagram in the air. Follow the description below by beginning at thelower left and sweeping your magical weapon up toward the right, etc. as shown.Do not bend your arm at the wrist or elbow. While you do this, visualize thelines and eventually the star as vibrant white, floating in the space beforeyou. You are projecting energy to do this, and the result will be a gleaming5-pointed star floating in the air. Visualize this as vividly as you can. Nowyou will energize it further by piercing the center of it with your magicalweapon and vibrating “Eh-Ei-He”.

One of the primary uses of this ritual is to ward offpsychic attack — that is, when another is attempting to harm you, causesickness, accidents, bad dreams or to force you to do something against yourwill.

Basic Parts of a Ritual

Usually we think of ritual as bearing on active magick,although certainly, it can also affect passive magick. Most often the changeachieved is subjective (it may be subtle) and in the physical world. Outsidersmay put them down to coincidence, but the effects are very real. Magical goalsfor a ritual should not be taken lightly.

The successful practice of magick depends upon strongbelief. The simplest ritual of them all must be belief itself. If you canbelieve in your desired results strongly enough, that act is a magical ritualwhich will achieve your results.

Often rituals are more formal than the above, but anyfull magick ritual must always reduce to these stages:

1) visualisation;

2) prayer;

3) ritual.

Sometimes a ritual must be repeated every day for a whileto achieve difficult results or to overcome weak belief.
