New LBRP

[praesidivmdelvx]

Stumbled upon this, seems interesting.

The link describes what the author considers inaccuracies in the Golden Dawn version of the lbrp. What do you guys think?

Further detail can be found by clicking the link but the basic outline of the revised lbrp is as follows:

1. Facing east, touch the forehead and say Eheieh (I am).

2. Touch the groin and say Malkuth (the Kingdom).

3. Touch the right shoulder and say ve-Geburah (and the Power).

4. Touch the left shoulder and say ve-Gedulah (and the Glory).

5. Clasp the hands upon the breast and say le-Olahm IAO (Forever, IAO).

6. In the East, trace the yellow banishing pentagram of Air. Vibrate Eheieh.

7. Turn (counter-clockwise) to the North and trace the green banishing pentagram of Earth. Vibrate Adonai.

8. Turn to the West and trace the blue banishing pentagram of Water. Vibrate Eloah.

9. Turn to the South and trace the red banishing pentagram of Fire. Vibrate AGLA.

10. Turn to the East to complete the circle. Extend the arms in the form of a cross and say:

11. Before me Raphael.

12. Behind me Gabriel.

13. On my right hand Michael.

14. And on my left hand Auriel.

15. For about me flames the pentagrams.

16. And within me shines the six-rayed star.

17. Repeat the Qabalistic Cross (parts 1-5).

In chapter 2 he describes a complete LBRP in the fullest detail.

For example;
It's not just saying "Before me Raphael."

I quote from the book:
Visualize a figure on a hill in front of you. The figure is dressed in yellow robes which have some purplish highlights. The figure carries a caduceus wand (the symbol used by doctors, a wand entwined by serpents, which represents the life force) and the figure's robes wave in the wind. You should "feel" a breeze coming from behind the figure. Say, Before me, Rah-fay-EL (vibrate the name of the Archangel).

And it goes on like this.

I started in on Israel Regardie's book The Middle Pillar and it included a similar detailing of the angels and the lamens they have in their hands (ie. Raphael a caduceus, Gabriel a chalice, Michael a sword, Uriel two ears of corn). To me it rhymes with breath of life, purification, consecration, fructification in a progressive process. The one thing I do differently though is point at the floor and say Malkuth rather than my chest and for as much as I wish I could visualize the blue and red interwoven hexagram I suffice in putting the two trangles together, them turning to a whitish-yellow light when they connect, and that being my final hexagram - seems to work okay and I think 'before me the pentagram' and 'behind me the six rayed star' is the outer-court version so that's what I'm keeping with.

On a side note to mention other versions of LBRP/LIRP I still really like M Isidora Forests Star of Isis. The only drawback for Isis Magic and Self-Initiation Into the Golden Dawn is that sadly what I really need these days to follow a self-initiation book is a good ritual space where I can circumambulate, set up an altar, have my own room as an oratory, store ritually blessed products for other rituals, and right now I just don't have that.

Yes, I noticed that some of the LBRP's point Malkuth to the ground, while others point to the chest. There are many subtle differences.
