If it doesn't, then I start going through the debugging process which usually includes consulting with spirits about what might be going on.<br /><br />I do that because a successful result is definitive evidence without going through the whole process of evaluating spirit communication. A fair amount of the time my first idea of how to make something like that work proves successful.<br /><br />It would fall under a new article. I'm not going to add it to all the planetary, elemental, and zodiacal articles because that would be a lot of duplication.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-31168475233039819202023-09-14T14:08:48.224-05:002023-09-14T14:08:48.224-05:00Always welcome!

I just thought it would be common since the grimoire community always consecrates all their tools even down to the last tool such as the pen used to write on talismans and petitions. The link occurred to me as something special since it was the only thing we had that connected the magick to the target.<br /><br />If you will be experimenting, what is your approach? Do you first broach the topic with the angel of the power to get its opinion or do you experiment first? I think the former is better because the angel gives an instruction or two on how to go about it.<br /><br />Will you be updating the article on your results with consecrating the link or a new article?<br /><br />Finally, the few times I have consecrated items via Melkhaidel, I have only done so during the day and hour of Tuesday since a Mars Almuten was not possible at the time. I hope this doesn't weaken the consecration.Samathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883615951812536611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-50382096990687188182023-09-12T15:10:41.143-05:002023-09-12T15:10:41.143-05:00That is a really cool idea, consecrating the link....That is a really cool idea, consecrating the link.

The link felt like the only part of the entire ritual that needed something. Now we know what. Perhaps even Taurus can then be asked to strengthen the entire spell, an alchemical power.Samathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883615951812536611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-27535360207166413262019-05-28T09:39:57.007-05:002019-05-28T09:39:57.007-05:00I understand your rationale and it makes sense. I ...I understand your rationale and it makes sense. I just checked Sepher Sephirot and Abode of Geburah is associated with 99, among other things. I cannot see any possible associations with Mars or Aries from what is written for 100. I will continue searching for possible additional information, but I don't think I will come up with much more since so far I have found very little of Siket and the other spirits of the decans mentioned in those sources. Nevertheless, thank you for your help!Alex Scaraoschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08918705565881852467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-49253634175062269052019-05-28T09:02:33.041-05:002019-05-28T09:02:33.041-05:00To transliterate by sound, it looks like the 777 r...To transliterate by sound, it looks like the 777 renditions do add Aleph after Kaph when dealing with a short-e vowel sound. But really you should check the gematria.<br /><br />Samekh-Yod-Kaph-Tet = 60 + 10 + 20 + 9 = 99<br />Samekh-Yod-Kaph-Aleph-Tet = 60 + 10 + 20 + 1 + 9 = 100.<br /><br />99 factors to 3 x 3 x 11.<br />100 factors to 2 x 2 x 5 x 5.<br /><br />I probably would go with 100, since 2 is Chockmah (sephira of the zodiac) and 5 is Mars, ruling Aries. Whereas if this angel ruled a decan of Capricorn or Aquarius I would go with 99, since 3 is Saturn (and the 11 could reduce to by standard numerology addition).<br /><br />You could consult other sources too, though, and see if 99 has some association that is closer to Aries than 100 does.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-65503039629238409322019-05-26T07:18:28.986-05:002019-05-26T07:18:28.986-05:00Sorry to bother you with this, but I've asked ...Sorry to bother you with this, but I've asked around and so far I haven't received any answer. Not even from the Solomoniacs :)<br /><br />Could you help me transliterate Siket into Hebrew? Greek Hermeticism associates this spirit with the third decan of Aries and I'm interested in working with that decan for personal endeavors. I could just call on the two Shem angels associated with the decan, but for some reason I'm more inclined to call on this spirit. <br /><br />So I'm thinking Samekh-Yod-Kaph-Tet, although I'm not sure if I should add an Aleph between Kaph and Tet.<br /><br />Thank you!

Working those numbers in for additional resonance usually helps. Another thing that I sometimes do when performing these operations is vibrating the name of the angel the appropriate number of times instead of just once in the conjuration step.<br /><br />Am I understanding you, though, that you close the vortex before commencing with the conjuration and such? Or do you close it after the license to depart?Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-74641484240474399672017-01-25T15:43:14.868-06:002017-01-25T15:43:14.868-06:00Hi Nick ¡¡¡

I am glad that you are finding them useful.<br /><br />You can use the kamea method, or you can use a traditional sigil from another source for a particular spirit. Both will work. What you are trying to do with a sigil is open a connection to the spirit, so multiple sigils can correspond to the same one. It's just like a person with multiple phone numbers, so using a traditional sigil doesn't change anything about the ritual procedure.<br /><br />If you're wondering which will work better for you, my recommendation is to try both methods out and see for yourself.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-72815924699216496572017-01-25T08:21:28.402-06:002017-01-25T08:21:28.402-06:00Dear Scott,
Thanks a lot for all the illuminating...Dear Scott,<br /><br />Thanks a lot for all the illuminating posts. I really love your Elemental Work and Planetary Work series, and I'm really excited you've started your Zodiacal series as well. What I appreciate in all this the way you teach the methodology of ritual construction which I prefer to merely following a set number steps predesigned by we don't know who.<br /><br />I've got a question about the way you use planetary kameas and the angel's name to draw the sigil and later to design a ritual: could the same method be applied to other planetary (elemental, zodiacal, etc.) beings like the Bardonian entities or the Olympian spirits? Some of them already have sigils of their own, so would you use the existing sigils or would you use the corresponding kamea to design a new one?Sam Narrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206348461134584468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-32996332272436239932017-01-24T15:17:48.635-06:002017-01-24T15:17:48.635-06:00No, as I mentioned awhile back in reference to a p...No, as I mentioned awhile back in reference to a previous post, you certainly can use other sigils for angels besides those derived from the Agrippa kameas, if you have access to them. I would think that the sigils from the MC should qualify. The kamea system's main advantage is that it is a general method that can be employed with any spirit name.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-45238640117208803072017-01-24T11:25:49.515-06:002017-01-24T11:25:49.515-06:00I'll wait until the mystical rituals are poste...I'll wait until the mystical rituals are posted and I'll probably ask directly there :)<br /><br />I understand.

Feel free to be creative with it.<br /><br />Just as a point, you never NEED to fast or anything like that. Some practitioners find it useful and others don't, and you should always engage in practices in a way that works best for you. Most ascetic practices are worth trying out once or twice to see if they work for you, but if they don't, they don't. They've never done much of anything for me.<br /><br />You probably do not need to draw the sigil over the symbol of the sign. In my article in Liber Spirituum, I just give the sigils themselves. But since that came out and I have been playing around with the forms more, I find it useful if I plan on re-using a sigil. If the symbol of the sign is integrated, you can see at a glance which is which without having to memorize the sigils themselves.<br /><br />Liber 777 is a compilation of correspondences from many different sources. Some of the differences, though, are just things like the English spelling. For Aries, the Magical Calendar shows Malchidiel rather than Melchiadel, but those are just different English glosses of the same Hebrew name. My guess is that the Hebrew pronunciation was just different back when the MC was put together.<br /><br />As far as other differences go, 777 reflects all the research of the founders of the original Golden Dawn along with Aleister Crowley's work. It started out as a set of GD correspondences that Crowley received from Allan Bennett, and Crowley expanded upon it based on his research. So a lot of work went into it.

I wonder why...<br /><br />So far I've used the names and attributions of 777 and I'm happy with the results. I guess Crowley was way more skilled than I am at hearing and understanding spirits, in the eventuality he received these attributions directly from them. <br /><br />http://www.esotericarchives.com/mc/index.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-38991490442030200092017-01-24T06:37:26.381-06:002017-01-24T06:37:26.381-06:00A++

Is it to be employed as part of a mystical ritual, for example, when one consecrates their body as a vessel to receive divine grace, or the godhead, or abstract visions like the ones corresponding to the spheres? I assume that for these workings one would have to perform certain preliminary rituals and/or preparatory work such as fasting. But I'll leave this part for your mystical series :)<br /><br />Secondly, I know that this ritual is a template and one can add and subtract according to their experience etc. I suspect it's not exactly necessary to add the symbol of the sign in the design of the sigil. I mean, I've used only the sigil for the angel so far and it seems to be working for me. It would be nice though if I could create talismans for all the signs using their symbols, permutation name, angelic sigil (includiv the seal from the Magical Calendar) which would be inscribed in the corresponding metal. But so far, I'm doing okay with paper sigils.<br /><br />Looking forward to the rest of the series!!! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
