Does anyone here practice the middle pillar? If so what do you think of this instruction on it:

Do you suggest anything differently? This seems to be a simplified version, I recall Regardie's version being more complex.

Re: Middle Pillar
A little known group, the Aurum Solis (very similar to Golden Dawn with some very cool, distinct differences), had a very comprehensive way of teaching the middle pillar. There are (if i remember right) three ways that they teach it, ranging from simple to complex and for different applications, for instance, the simple one is used at certain points in any rite to charge an object, or the complex one is used in a heavy invocation. They also highly suggested their students work with hebrew but also their latin versions and other versions, in order to feel the differences in the energies and such. Its almost as if the AS put as much emphasis on their versions of this ritual as the GD did on LBRP
There is a book with all of their rituals out there that shouldn't be hard to find. Most of the "GD" groups also start you off with something simple, such as the spheres are only white and you add color later, or they stick with one god name and add more later.
It is not bad to take this ritual slowly and build on it, it is very powerful and useful for practically anything

Re: Middle Pillar
Cool, yeah I'll likely start simple with middle pillar, just for ease of learning.
I'm doing a sort of simplifed LBRP right now, and building on it as I read different interpretations of it. Trying to get a good feel for it. This is my initial jump into attempting ritual so it's been fun.
