I didn't do that for years, but it got to the point that there were so many spam posts on my popular articles that I had to do it. So there's no need to enter a comment multiple times. I have to log in and approve them before they show up.<br /><br />You can conjure a spirit of Saturn to stop things. Saturn rules boundaries, endings, things like that. Justice, though, would be Libra. You can find that under The Zodiacal Work - Libra on here.<br /><br />In your situation I probably would see about doing both - a Saturn operation to stop whatever is going on, and a Libra operation to get justice to rebound on the folks doing this.<br /><br />As for daily practice - personally I don't recommend the LBRH as part of a daily practice regimen. If it works for you it works - that's my first rule - but I find that combining the LBRP and the LIRH to open daily practices is more effective. I recommend that you try it out and see if that's true for you as well. I always follow that combination with some sort of invocation of divinity like the Middle Pillar, since the opening rituals on their own just set up a space for working magick rather than doing much by themselves.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-61065035279442083452019-09-20T11:36:30.876-05:002019-09-20T11:36:30.876-05:00Hello Scott,
In very glad you're here.
This sp...Hello Scott,<br />In very glad you're here.<br />This spell seems intriguing regarding an ancient problem of mine. I think it may help but I have questions. My issue is complicated.<br /><br />Many many years ago....much over a decade ago, some malicious people in specific magical community decided to make up some very terrible slanderous horrible things about me that has since affected me and harmed me in many communities. I don't have any idea why anyone would do that. Maybe I wore my smile backwards or forgot to cut my left big toe nail. I don't know. <br /><br />Anyway, they spread terrible rumours about me then people propagated the lies and essentially all this crap has made a hard life for me....to this day.<br />Yes, even over a decade later these assholes and their lies still occasionally haunt me. And...they still slander me eventhough I don't see them any more. <br />When I forget about it, it comes back to bite me. I've recently been told of a recent incident of this. Geez.<br /><br />What's worse, I never was able to find out exactly who these people are who are nor exactly what was said. All I know is that I've heard whispers and felt the consequences. I suspect at least 3 INFLUENTIAL MAGICKAL people (in that specific magic community (not the oto)) who may be part of the problem. Beyond that, I have no idea whom else is also responsible but there are more. They've made my life difficult until now. <br />By now, I'm very angry and I don't give a damn what happens to everyone responsible. But I want it stopped dead with no memory anywhere...as if it never happened. Except for justice rebounding on everyone responsible.<br /><br />I was looking up greater hexagram rituals and then I found this. This looks promising but I need advice. How may I customize this to fit my situation? Or is there another totally different operation I should do? Any advice would be nice. Thank you.<br /><br />Fyi, I've done daily rituals on and off for over a decade so I've probably built something up. <br />*Lbrp<br />*Lbrh<br />*Occasionally middle pillar & a couple other ones. <br />*I've been getting more serious in my daily rituals during the past few months and lately adding GIRP and WATCHTOWER to my stack 1-3 a week... (I'm still refining it.) <br /><br />*I used to be member of oto (3rd degree) but I let my membership lapse. <br /><br />I'm sorry for such a long question.<br />Thank you for your advice.93https://www.blogger.com/profile/01577092173515396737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-79743389608391259622019-05-09T16:07:26.198-05:002019-05-09T16:07:26.198-05:00You are very welcome.

So in your example, if all you need to do to light the candle is touch a match or lighter to the flame, you won't be creating any sort of link to it.<br /><br />If you are worried about it, though, set up everything ahead of time. Place the link to your target in the triangle, light your candle, pour out your offering, and then don't touch anything inside until the ritual is complete. I sometimes do this anyway, even though I have never run into a problem with passing my hand or arm over the space.<br /><br />Note also that other containment structures besides the Lemegeton triangle can be used. I use my Enochian setup for this and treat the Sigillum as a containment structure, and have also used the Trithemian Table of Art that you can find illustrated in a lot of my other articles on practical rituals.

The point is that, I read in this post about the cast a curse method this statement,"It is vital that the circle and triangle are used in a ritual of this sort." I wonder, why using the triangle is so vital if during the ritual we go beyond physically its borders? For example, a candle is placed inside this triangle and during the ritual we should light it, and to do this our arms must go beyond the triangle, Wouldn't there be the risk of "absorbing" the energies within the triangle through the arms?

I was actually introduced to the idea by Rufus Opus, as I mentioned in my latest Planetary Work series. I used to do all the space tuning with just the ceremonial forms, and then do the conjuration.<br /><br />Rufus and I don't use the Orphic Hymns exactly the same way. I use them as a devotional counterpoint to the ceremonial tuning done with the Greater Ritual of the Hexagram. Rufus, on the other hand, uses them more like statements of intent for ongoing devotional work.<br /><br />Basically, I do think that adding a devotional component to the rituals helps them work better. You can do planetary rituals without them, of course, and I did for a long time.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-20729647132562692372017-02-09T20:27:31.369-06:002017-02-09T20:27:31.369-06:00I know it's an 'Old as fuck' post, but...I know it's an 'Old as fuck' post, but it arised a particular question. This was the post that first introduced me to your blog, and now re-reading it I find you don't use (At least for the template here given) a 'specific' invocation for this operation, as in for example the orphic hymns given during your more recent planetary work. Do you find it makes a big difference? Is there a particular reason for omitting it here? I myself have never done a planetary or path work without a 'specific' invocation, hence my question.<br /><br />Many thanks :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509485837525273221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-80892445934775997452016-04-01T17:30:37.466-05:002016-04-01T17:30:37.466-05:00I mean karma in the Buddhist way, as observed over...I mean karma in the Buddhist way, as observed over the years and researched in my natal chart.

Sometimes the comments fail to show up as recent for a bit, but it looks like you just posted it.<br /><br />I am not sure exactly what you mean by "heavy karma." If you mean it in the New Age "backlash" or "threefold law" sense, don't bother addressing it at all. That doesn't happen with magick in real life. Just conjure into a containment structure like a triangle or table of art and you'll be fine.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you mean it in the more accurate Buddhist sense of eliminating old conditioning that you have built up over your life, though, the answer is that if you were working with the spirit and intelligence you probably would use the intelligence. Also keep in mind, though, that the archangel rules over both and is fully capable of passing your charge along to the appropriate one.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-2339773814223028652016-04-01T15:50:39.665-05:002016-04-01T15:50:39.665-05:00*heavy karma*heavy karmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-15372774026530866012016-04-01T15:50:05.876-05:002016-04-01T15:50:05.876-05:00I hope it's not too late to ask you this, cons...I hope it's not too late to ask you this, considering that I'm gonna perform this ritual in 24h. <br /><br />If I'm going to invoke Saturn to lift at least some of my heavy mark, should I address it to the Spirit or the Intelligence?

A retrograde planet usually is weaker and/or influences on the inside, rather than the outside and also brings back past issues. <br /><br />Yet I'm considering what some astrologists here are saying, that the following Mars retrograde from Sagittarius to Scorpio will be a hard one in terms of anger and aggression. Anyway, I think you're right and I'll go ahead with that kind of work even in Mars retrograde, if the opportunity rises. And if something bad happens to come my way after that, I always have the LBRP-LBRH to get rid of it.<br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-87705954113342116322016-03-11T17:55:18.006-06:002016-03-11T17:55:18.006-06:00That might be one possibility, but I think it woul...That might be one possibility, but I think it would depend on the spell and what exactly you are trying to do.

Using the circle and triangle will prevent the effect you conjure from affecting you, but sometimes it doesn't matter. Like, let's say you cast a spell binding your target to behave like a decent human being. Do you really care if the spell nudges you in that direction as well? I wouldn't.<br /><br />Astrological retrograde does not reverse spells, so the idea that a retrograde Mars would make a curse rebound is silly. I have a retrograde Mercury in my natal chart and those barely affect me at all, though they do seem to affect a lot of people I know. I do suspect, though, that unless your natal Mars is already retrograde, your curse won't work as well because retrograde periods can diminish the effective strength of the planet.<br /><br />Incidentally, that same "reverse" nonsense also gets applied to Tarot cards. Up until pretty recently, nobody read a reversed card as having a reversed meaning. According to the Golden Dawn system, which is where decks like the Rider-Waite came from, an upright card is positively aspected - that is, stronger - while a reversed card is negatively aspected - that is, weaker. But the meaning of the card remains the same.

I've read in different sources thatthe times when Mars is retrograde are not right for rituals of cursing and revenge, because the ritual will backfire and affect the one who cast the spell. Is that true? It maybe true for spells using Mars and it's logical, but I don't think it applies to spells using Saturn (since Saturn's sphere is higher on Tree), or does it? Even so, can that be avoided by using the circle and triangle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-4692457265900858692016-03-09T14:50:26.795-06:002016-03-09T14:50:26.795-06:00All of this is noted and memorized!

For example, the Pauline Art assigns the planetary angels as follows:<br /><br />Saturn - Cassiel<br />Jupiter - Sachiel<br />Mars - Samael<br />Sun - Michael<br />Venus - Anael<br />Mercury - Raphael<br />Moon - Gabriel<br /><br />So if you were working with this schema, you could replace Tzaphkiel in the above script with Cassiel. The rest of the ritual would be unchanged.<br />Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.com
