Quick Guide to Practical Magick

How to create a practical and results oriented ritual

Whatfollows is a brief and simple guide to Practical Magick and the steps

involved in creating a ResultOriented Ritual Î thatis a ritual focus on getting

laid,getting rich,orgetting even. The material thatfollows is presented underthe

psychological model of Magick Î thatthere are no external gods orbeings

assisting in the Magick ritual,thatthe work being done arises from the Self.

Step One: The Statement of Intent

The firstand mostimportantstep in creating a ritual is making a Statementof

Intent. Itis desirable to make the Statementof Intentas precise as possible,while

endeavouring to keep itsimple. Excessive complication reduces the probability of

success forthe working. Statements of Intentsuch as "Itis my Will to have a

loverwho is tall,intelligent,blonde,speaks Spanish,has a red car,drinks coffee,

doesntsmoke,has two sisters,has no thumbs,loves animals,plays Dungeons

and Dragons,likes video games,etc."have very poorodds of working.

While overcomplication is undesirable,so is the opposite. Being very vague will

increases the odds of success greatly,butitwill also increase the odds of

achieving a resultthatis notdesirable. A Statementof Intentsuch as "Itis my

Will to have a lover"will very likely be successful Î butthatlovercould be ugly,

unintelligent,have a poorpersonality,orany of a numberof otherproblems. Be

careful whatyou ask for. You may ustgetit.

Step Two: Sigilization of the Statement of Intent

Humans are masochisticcreatures. Although we have desires to be successful,

wealthy,attractive and healthy Î we also have many hidden desires thatare much

darker. We often enoy failure as much as we do success. You may notbelieve that

people desire to fail,butif you look around and observe people,itis quite easy to

see. People crave attention from otherpeople,and failure is an easy way of

getting attention.

"Oh whoa is me!My boyfriend leftme. How will Ievergetalong withouthim? I

cantpossibly live withouthim. Im so upset,boo hoo."People will hold onto

quickly and simply

losing a lover,getting fired,becoming ill,etc. forthe sake of having something to

complain aboutso thata sympatheticearcan listen.

These masochisticdesires apply to Magick as well. Forevery Statementof Intent

thatwe write there is a secretdesire in the depths of the mind,to bring aboutthe

ruin of thatdesire. To getaround the secretdesire forfailure we can trick our

own mind into forgetting the Statementof Intent,using a Magick technique

called Sigilization.

There are two basickinds of Sigils:Pictograph Sigils,and Mantra Sigils. A

Pictograph Sigil is a symbol constructed using elements thatrepresentthe

Statementof Intent,yetdo notdirectly resemble anything. A Mantra Sigil is a

word orsentence made of nonsense sounds which were created from the

Statementof Intent. Forboth kinds of Sigils the purpose is to have something

thatwill symbolize the Statementof Intentand will be recognized by the

subconscious mind butnotby the conscious mind.

There are two basickinds of Sigils:Pictograph Sigils,and Mantra Sigils. A

Pictograph Sigil is a symbol constructed using elements thatrepresentthe

Statementof Intent,yetdo notdirectly resemble anything. A Mantra Sigil is a

word orsentence made of nonsense sounds which were created from the

Statementof Intent. Forboth kinds of Sigils the purpose is to have something

thatwill symbolize the Statementof Intentand will be recognized by the

subconscious mind butnotby the conscious mind.

Creating a Pictograph Sigil:

To create a Pictograph Sigil firstwe draw a picture thatrepresents ourStatementof Intent. Lets

use the Statementof Intent,"Itis my Will to earn money through having a book published."

Firstwe draw a simple picture representing earning money through publishing a

book:

Nextwe simplify the picture a little:

And then we simplify itfurther:

We now have a picture which is based upon ourStatementof Intentbutis

abstractenough thatthe conceptof "earning money through publishing a book"

will notarise in the conscious mind while looking atthe symbol.

Creating a Mantra Sigil:

To create a Mantra Sigil,firstwe write down ourStatementof Intent. This time we will use:

It is my Willto get a promotion at work.

Next,we remove letters which are repeated:

It s my Wlo ge a prn a k.

Then we combine these letters into some nonsense words:

Itsm ywlog geap rnak.

Rearrange the letters inside the wordsMtsigowly pega kran

Step Three: Setting the Mood with an Opening Rite.

The nextstep in creating a ritual is choosing orcreating a Banishing Rite to set

the stage forthe restof the ritual. Traditionally,Banishings were used in

Magickal Rituals as a kind of safe guard. In Medieval times mostMagick was

done from within the Christian paradigm -- and the forces summoned were

feared. Banishings were used in thatcontextas a form of protection againstthe

forces summoned. Chaos Magickians,naturally,do notfearthe god forms,

demons and spirits thatthey call forth -- so the use of banishing as a form of

protection from the beings evoked during ritual is unnecessary forChaos

Magickians. What,then is the role of banishing in a Chaos Magick ritual? Isee

banishing priorto and afterritual as like the terminals of a battery. The gnosis

attained during the ritual is the uice of the battery,and the powerbeing putinto

the ritual. The statementof intentis the electronicdevice being powered by the

battery and the Banishings are the terminals of the battery,containing the power

and focussing ittoward the desired end.

To perform a Banishing,the Magickian Î using a weapon orherhand Î draws a

barrierin the airaround herself. Next,she focuses herwill on an image Î the

weapon in hand,mystical symbols,a glowing lightcoming from inside,all up to

the taste of the Magickian. Using the powerof the visualized obectthe Magickian

then re-enforces the barrierby drawing symbols atthe points of the barrier:

pentagrams,the chaos starorothermarkings. Lastly,the Magickian stands fora

momentin silence and silences hermind.

Left Hand Path Banishing

By Dead Jellyfish

Here is a very simple banishing thatIuse before doing workings of a LeftHand

Path nature. Ithelps the magickian entera state of mind conducive to LeftHand

Path workings.

A Simple Banishing for LHP Workings

1. Starting from the south,draw a sphere around yourself counterclockwise,with

yourlefthand while visualizing the sphere in a colourof yourchoice.

2. Ring a bell nine times. A tuning fork also works very well. Note:when this

banishing is used atthe end of a ritual,the bell should be rung atthe end instead.

3. Face the South. Take one step forward with yourleftfootand draw an inverted

pentagram in the airwith yourlefthand and say boldly the following:

"Icall forth Satan who broughtthe Promethean giftof the apple."(Visualize the

serpentoffering you the apple of gnosis).

4. Turn towards the East. Take one step forward with yourleftfootand draw an

inverted pentagram in the airwith yourlefthand and say the following:

"Icall forth Lucifer,the bringerof Lightand Knowledge."(Visualize Lucifer

rising,brilliantand triumphant)

5. Turn towards the North. Take one step forward with yourleftfootand draw an

inverted pentagram in the airwith yourlefthand and say the following:

"Icall forth Belial,he who has no master."(Visualize a powerful demon who bows

before no God buthimself)

6. Turn towards the West. Take one step forward with yourleftfootand draw an

inverted pentagram in the airwith yourlefthand and say the following:

"Icall forth Leviathan,the crocodile of the deep,the carnal animal of Chaos."

(Visualize a crocodile with the eyes of a dragon)

7. Return to centerof the sphere. Now you will invoke Set. (This partis should be

skipped when this banishing is used atthe end of a ritual.)

"Iinvoke Set,who nightly slays Apep. By destroying the imp of Chaos,Icreate

freedom formyself. Ihave the freedom to create any orderIdesire formyself,

and Ihave the freedom to destroy it. Ihave the powerto change atWill,and

through change Ican Become."

8. Re-enforce the sphere by standing motionless in quietmeditation until gnosis

is reached.

9. Laughter.

Step Four: Invocation or Evocation of a deity.
