He that riseth up against thee shall be thrown down, though thou raise not so much as thy little finger against him. And he that speaketh evil against thee shall be put to shame, though thy lips utter not the littlest syllable against him. And he that thinketh evil concerning thee shall be confounded in his thought, although in thy mind arise not the least thought of him. And they shall be brought unto subjection unto thee, and serve thee, though thou willest it not." - from THE CRY OF THE 1ST AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED LIL - Liber 418.

Like some Tantric rituals from Tibetan Buddhism, the eventual visualization of the Holy Guardian Spirit may be more of a deeply meditative, transformative thought exercise than a literal summoning ritual. Of all the extant sources, the German manuscripts in Wolfenbüttel and Dresden are taken by scholars to be the authoritative texts. According to respected Kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem, the Hebrew version in Oxford was translated into Hebrew from German. An analysis of the spelling and language usage in the French manuscript indicates that it dates to the 18th century, and that it was also likely copied from a German original. Although the author quotes from the Jewish Book of Psalms, the version given is not from the Hebrew; rather, it is from the Latin Vulgate, a translation of the Bible employed by Roman Catholics at that time. We have finished all that is necessary to say concerning him, for the account of some of his further Attainment is given fully in Liber 418, The Vision and the Voice, also in Equinox I(10) "The Temple of Solomon the King," where the unexpected result of Communion of the Holy Guardian Angel is shown in a symbolism which can hardly be understood without reference to the events of 1904, which are now wholly pertinent to this Essay."

The practical magic of Abramelin (found in both Book III of the French text, and Book IV of the German original) centers around a set of talismans composed of magic word squares. These are similar to traditional magic squares, though the latter are usually composed of numbers, while Abramelin’s squares contain letters. Commonly word squares are used as puzzles or as teaching aids for students. In the context of Abramelin, the focus becomes mystical—so that each square should contain words or names that relate to the magical goal of the square. A parallel is found in the famous Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas word square, an altered version of which is also found among Abramelin’s squares. One of the easiest ways for someone interested in learning more about spiritualism, mysticism, and the arcane is to read books described as “ cursed” throughout history. There are surprisingly many such books out there.

This oil is currently used in several ceremonies of the Thelemic church, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, including the rites of Confirmation and Ordination. It is also commonly used to consecrate magical implements and temple furniture. The eucharistic host of the Gnostic Mass—called the Cake of Light—includes this oil as an important ingredient.

The work was translated into English by Samuel L. MacGregor Mathers and more recently by Georg Dehn and Steven Guth. Dehn attributed authorship of The Book of Abramelin to Rabbi Yaakov Moelin ( Hebrew יעקב בן משה מולין; c. 1365–1427), a German Jewish Talmudist. This identification has since been disputed. [2] Structure [ edit ] The book exists in the form of twelve manuscripts and an early printed edition. The provenance of the text has not been definitively identified. The earliest manuscripts are two versions that date from about 1608, are written in German and are now found in Wolfenbüttel. [ms 1] [ms 2] Another two manuscripts are in Dresden, and date from about 1700 and 1750 respectively. [ms 3] [ms 4] Of all the extant sources, the German manuscripts in Wolfenbüttel and Dresden are taken by scholars to be the authoritative texts. According to respected Kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem, the Hebrew version in Oxford was translated into Hebrew from German. [7] An analysis of the spelling and language usage in the French manuscript indicates that it dates to the 18th century and that it was also likely copied from a German original. Although the author quotes from the Jewish Book of Psalms, the version given is not from the Hebrew; rather, it is from the Latin Vulgate, a translation of the Bible employed by Roman Catholics at that time. That is about all I can come up with at the moment, it is definatly beyond words! If you have any specific questions, or would like any advice on how to do the working etc. feel free to ask. I feel that the Abremlin operation is extremely important and beneficial to magicians on this path, so I am always more then willing to answer questions etc. about it. It may end in real insanity, which concludes the activities of the Adept during this present life, or by his rebirth into his own body and mind with the simplicity of a little child.For example, a square entitled "To walk underwater for as long as you want" contains the word MAIAM (מים), the Hebrew word for "water". A square for recovering treasures of jewelry begins with the word TIPHARAH (תפארה, a variant of Tiferet), which can mean "golden ring" in Hebrew and is also the name of the sphere of "Beauty" (which has the planetary attribution of the Sun) on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. If anyone can provide me with insights or perspectives that are beneficial to completing the Work, or if anyone knowledgeable would like to talk with me more directly about their experiences with this system, I would be most grateful. I thank you all for your time and replies, and wish you all the best in your own lives. In previous posts we have explored the meaning and purpose of Lady Day within Traditional Witchcraft, being a birth, death, rebirth festival par excellence, as well as marking the commencement of the New Year. Significantly, the Abramelin Operation commences at the spring Equinox, aligning the themes and purpose perfectly well with the conception of the Christos and the increase in light, being at first a rite of fertility, later becoming one of vitality, concluding in inspiration. These three phases are highlighted deliberately as they are identified as the necessary purpose of magical ritual in the cache of Robert Cochrane letters (Monmouth, 2012), allegedly written by the ‘Old Man of Westmoreland’ (a mysterious figure who supposedly conveyed the essence of Witch lore an practice to Cochrane). While these summaries are oversimplified, this general framework has been adapted and altered by many practitioners throughout history. Some take a fundamentalist approach, believing that the ritual actually achieves the conjuration of supernatural entities and the acquisition of divine powers. As this is a thread about the Abramelin Operation vis-a-vis Crowley, can anyone provide a succinct record of Crowley's attempts and successes with KCHGA?

Also called the “Age of Reason,” the enlightenment was a philosophical trend in which many prevailing ideas that make up our modern society today emerged. Freedom, the pursuit of happiness, the search for truth based on reason, scientific discovery, liberty, progress, fraternity, and constitutional government were the hallmarks of the enlightenment. It was a time when the absolute authority of the church and monarchs were brought into question and the modern birth of democracy was established. Overall, this practice, which calls for right conduct, action, livelihood, study, rigorous periods of meditation and social withdrawal, has some similarities to esoteric Buddhist and Hindu schools of thought. It also shares many common aspects with other mystical traditions in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.

Take one part of the best myrrh, half a part of cinnamon, one part of cassia, one part galanga root, and a quarter of the combined total weight of good, fresh olive oil. Make these into an ointment or oil as is done by the chemists. Keep it in a clean container until you need it. Put the container together with the other accessories in the cupboard under the altar.
