Notes; When performing Qabalistic Cross imagine that your pulling down a White Light from Above your head. and that it goes all the way to your feet, and across your shoulders (when crossing) forming a Giant White Blazing Cross.

As you trace each Pentagram imagine that you are tracing a full body Blue Pentagram. Starting from your left hip trace up to top of head,then down to right hip, then up to left shoulder across to right shoulder and back to left hip. do this IN FRONT of you. Until they all expand and form a sphere of Large Blue Pentagrams about you.

Imagine each Archangel with they're back's to you and SEE them in all they're Glory, they're wings touching and forming another sphere about the Pentagram sphere and you, as the white cross in the center, with a Blazing Golden Hexagram blazing were your heart is.

This is One of the most Powerful Ritual's you can ever learn, it is the basis for ALL Ritual Magick. DON'T be fooled by it's simplicity.

Notes on the LBRP Levi; " (Pentagram)...the mind's domination over the elements, and it is by this sign that we bind them...It is the symbol of the Word made flesh and, according to the directions of its rays, it represents good or evil, order or disorder....A sign which epitomizes by signification all the occult forms of Nature and which has always manifested to elementary and other spirits a power superior to their own, naturally strikes them with fear and respect, and enforces their obedience by the empire of knowledge and will over ignorance andweakness"

Paraphrased notes by Crowley; The Magician is standing on the intersection of the paths of Samekh and Pe. And your facing Tiphareth, to your right is Netzach and your left is Hod. Behind you is Yesod. When Vibrating the Divine Angelic Names they Should appear, and do so when the ritual is done right. You are standing in a column which is protected by your Microcosmic invocation, the result being a macrocosmic response. The Hexagram appears above and below you with out any effort on your part. (note the equilibration of 5=6) Pentagrams surround you and Hexagrams above and below the column in the center.This image should be firmly placed in your mind. "Those who regard this ritual as a mere device to invoke or banish spirits, are unworthy to possess it. Properly understood, it is the Medicine of Metals and the Stone of the Wise"

W.E.Butler;from The Magician, his training and work ; It will be remembered that we have formed four energy-charged thought forms (The four Angels) by the figures we have built at the four cardinal points of the compass. These forms we are now going to use as focal points of the protecting barrier we have built, and we therefore build up behind them the telesmatic images of the four great archangels. The form we build is a symbolic thought-form, but the life which fills it is the life of the great cosmic Being which we draw through that part of our nature which is in correspondence with Him.or, to be more accurate, which is a part of Him. It will be obvious that much hard work will have to be put into the development of the visualising faculty if these Telesmatic Images are to be properly built and contacted with the living forces they symbolically represent. Here is Labour-but it is basic work, and without it the Work may not be done.

Israel Regardie; from The Tree of Life ; It usually sufficing to banish beings of whatever class. The ritual invokes, and,having banished by the pentagrams all elements from the four cardinal points with the aid of the four names of God, it then evokes the Four Archangels as divine guardians to protect the sphere of magical operations. In closing, it once again invokes the Higher Self, so that from beginning to end the entire ceremony is under the surveillance of the Spirit. The first section, comprising points one to five,identifies the Holy Guardian Angel of Magician with the highest aspects of the Sephirotic Universe; in fact, it affirms the soul's identity with Adam Kadmon In the second section,points six to nine, the Magician traces a protecting circle, while his imagination is formulating an astral Circle of Fire within which to purse his work.
