93 All,
As an experiment with the tablet of Nalvage my husband and I did a public ritual and the results were consistent with visions of the path of Cheth. This was an experimental ritual, and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on why Cheth was so strongly represented in the results of the invocation.
The ritual was written and performed thus:
1. M – 1-3-3-3-1
2. M – LBR
3. O – Liber B vel Magi
M – Purification and consecration
4. M – LHR ban Saturn
O – 1st Enochian key
Facing East the Magician Picks up each alchemical element. Saying the text for each element and moving deosol around the center alter. The Orator rings the bell with each element as well.
5. (ring bell) DAGGER
“THE SUBSTANCE IS ATTRIBUTED TO GOD – AB THE FATHER.
(ring bell) CHAIN
“THE FIRST CIRCULAR MOVER, THE CIRCUMFERENCE, GOD – BN THE
SON, THE FINGER OF THE FATHER, AND MOVER OF ALL THINGS”
(ring bell) SCOURGE
“THE ORDER AND KNITTING TOGETHER OF THEIR PARTS IN THEIR
DUE PROPORTIONS, GOD – MA THE HOLY GHOST.”
6. M – 1-4
7. M – L.V.X. Signs and say in the form of Osiris Risen
“LO, THE BEGINNING AND ENDING OF ALL THINGS!”
8. The Magician moves from the center to the east and makes a inv. Pent. Of Air
Vibrating the name of “LUAS”(ring bell) and standing the the sign of 2=9 say aloud:
M - “I AM THE PRESENCE OF THE JOY OF GOD!
O – “IAD MOZOD ZIR!”
Moving widdershins to the south makes a inv pent of fire vibrating the name of
“LANG” (ring bell) and standing in the sign of 4=7 say aloud:
M – “ THE MOTION OF GODS POSSIBILITIES!”
O – “ IAD BAB ZNA!”
Moving widdershins to the west makes a inv pent of water vibrating the name of
“SACH” (ring bell)and standing in the sign of 3=8 say aloud:
M – “THE FACT OF GODS ACTION!”
O – “ IAD SOR GRU!”
Moving widdershins to the north makes a inv pent of earth vibrating the name of “ URCH” (ring bell) and standing in the sign of 1=10 say aloud:
M – “THE DISCORD OF GODS LAMENTATION!”
O – “IAD SER OSF!”
9 . The magician moves back to the center and faces the East and makes the signs of N.O.X. then says aloud:
“GLORY UNTO HIM THAT IS CONCEALED AND GLORY UNTO HER THAT BEARETH THE CUP AND GLORY UNTO THE ONE THAT IS THE CHILD AND FATHER OF THEIR LOVE.
GLORY UNTO THE STAR AND GLORY UNTO THE SNAKE, AND GLORY UNTO THE SWORDMAN OF THE SUN.
AND WORSHIP AND BLESSING THROUGHOUT THE AEON UNTO THE NAME OF THE BEAST, FOURSQUARE, MYSTIC, WONDERFUL!!”
10 – O - 2nd Enochian key
11. M – 1-3-3-3-1
Insights would be wonderful! As you can see, the ritual is written to be Thelemic in nature.
