The Lesser Banishing Ritual of The Pentagram

As your introduction into the Western Esoteric Tradition, I would like to introduce perhaps the most famous ritual of Western Occultism and Ceremonial Magick: The LBRP.

Take a steel dagger in the right hand. Face East.

Invoking Touch thy forehead

and say ATEH (thou art)

Touch thy breast

and say MALKUTH (the Kingdom)

Touch thy right shoulder

and say VE-GEBURAH (and the Power)

Touch thy left shoulder

and say VE-GEDULAH (and the Glory)

Clasp thy hands before thee

and say LE-OLAM (for ever)

Dagger between fingers, point up

and say AMEN.

Make in the Air toward the East the invoking PENTAGRAM as shown

and, bringing the point of the dagger to the centre of the Pentagram, vibrate

the DEITY NAME -YOD HE VAU HE-imagining that your voice catries

forward to the East of the Universe.

Holding the dagger out before you, go to the South, make the Pentagram and vibrate similarly the deity name-ADONAI.

Go to the West, make the Pentagram and vibrate EHEIEH.

Go to the North, make the Pentagram and vibrate AGLA

Return to the East and complete your circle by bringing the dagger point to the centre of the first Pentagram.

Stand with arms outstretched in the form of a cross and say:-

BEFORE ME RAPHAEL

BEHIND ME GABRIEL

AT MY RIGHT HAND MICHAEL

AT MY LEFT HAND AURIEL

BEFORE ME FLAMES THE PENTAGRAM BEHIND ME SHINES THE SIX-RAYED STAR

Again make the Qabalistic Cross as directed above, saying ATEH, etc.

For Banishing use the same Ritual, but reversing the direction of the

lines of the Pentagram.

I'm not providing any commentary because the reason why is insights can occasionally differ from person to person, it's up for you to grasp intuitions and read up on it yourself except for one thing.

One thing I want to say about Rituals and where I differ from a lot of Mages, is that if you don't have a dagger, use your finger and imagine one. The universe provides accommodations on your spiritual path. If you aren't in an environment where you can perform it with privacy, imagine it and perform it in your mind utilizing imagination.

I want everyone to practice and memorize this ritual at least once a day.
