- Enochian System V
-
-
- Determining the name of the lesser angel to be used is a more
- complex and delicut situation. There are four base names in each
- (sub)quadrant, four (sub)quadrants per tablet, and four tablets. Then
- each lesser angel name may be rotated (permuted) to yield four names,
- each name based in a different element. This yields a total of 256
- lesser angels, not counting the possibility of multi-lettered squares.
- So it would seem that a few guidlines for selecting an angel would be in
- order.
-
- CHARACTERISTICS of the ARCHANGELS and KERUBIM.
-
- The Archangels and Kerubim of the sixteen (sub)quadrants may be
- characterized as follows, these angels must answer to the nature of
- their given tablet:
-
- OF AIR. They are characterized by pairs of opposing forces such
- as expansion and contraction, solidification and dispersion. They seek a
- balance between such dual forces.
-
- OF WATER. These angels are characterized by motion. They desire
- continual movement and seed change in all things.
-
- OF EARTH. These angels desire manifestation. They seek to
- express the subjective in objective form.
-
- OF FIRE. These angels are characterized by their desire to
- purify human nature. They seek purification of all lower human character
- traits by fire.
-
- CHARACTERISTICS of the LESSER ANGELS.
-
- The lesser angels of the sixteen (sub)quadrants are
- characterized as follows, it should be remembered that these angels
- answer to those higher angels in the given (sub)quadrant or tablet:
-
- OF AIR. These angels assist in purifications. They help to free
- one from illusion, diseases, ignorance and other karmic problems by a
- process of sublimation.
-
- OF WATER. These angels assist in polarization. They can help to
- make one a fit receptical for what ever energy is desired.
-
- OF EARTH. These angels assist in manifestations. They can help
- one to express the desire in a way that is manifest on the physical
- plane.
-
- OF FIRE. These angels assist in transmutations. They help to
- disperse the lower elements of the human nature, they can refine the
- course into the fine.
-
- A NOTE ON THE NATURE OF THE ELEMENTAL TABLETS.
-
- It should be observed that the nature of the Archangels, Kerubim
- and lesser angels is simular. So too is the nature of the Elemental
- Tablets.
-
- OF AIR. The tablet of Air answers to the lower mental cosmic
- plane. And as such may help in influencing thought in all thinking
- beings. The tablet of air is, like the Archangels and Kerubim of the Air
- (sub)quadrants, responsible for creation and destruction.
-
- OF WATER. This tablet answers to the Astral cosmic plane, and as
- such also has the power of polarization. The use of this tablet may help
- us to seek the correct life direction and to stay on that course.
-
- OF EARTH. The tablet of Earth answers to the Etheric cosmic
- plane, and also to the physical plane. It has been my experience that
- the use of this tablet not only solidifies processed started on other
- planes, but brings about results that may be quantified in the physical.
-
- OF FIRE. The Fire tablet answers to the higher mental cosmic
- plane. By the use of this tablet we may expect to bring about
- transformations. A radical change in attitude or conditions. If used in
- conjuction with other elements total transformations, even on the
- physical plane may be brought about.
-
- SELECTION of LESSER ANGELS.
-
- There are two ways in which we may select a lesser angel. First,
- we may determine the requirements of the desired change and translate
- that into a series of four elements. From this series we may then go to
- the tablets and find the name of an angel. I should note, however, that
- this manner of selection, while producing the desired result, may not
- use the desired means. One must ask oneself; do the ends justify the
- means?
-
- The second method is more controlled. It is, however, a bit
- harder, and may result in one falling back to the previous method.
- Obtain an Enochian gematric dictionary (I think I sent one to Mysteria).
- Then using the first method as a starting point; apply Qabalistic and
- genatric methods to the names that look promising, then select the name
- that most closely fits the bill.
-
- ENOCHIAN RITUAL.
-
- The basics of all Magical Ritual is the same, no matter the
- system. One must perform these following steps:
-
- 1. Banishings and purifications.
- 2. Preliminary Invocations.
- 3. The Oath.
- 4. Primary Invocations.
- 5. Evocations.
- 6. Charge and instructions to being evoked.
- 7. License to depart.
- 8. Banishings and purifications.
-
- One must remember that steps 5 - 8 above depend on whether one is
- performing an invocation or an evocation. In Enochian the end is usually
- an evocation.
-
- I have found that the old rituals of the Pentagram and Hexagram
- work quite well for most of the Enochian working. The banishing of
- elemental forces is a MUST and these old rituals work quite well.
-
- The preliminary invocations though, require some special
- attention. It not enough to simply invoke the Diety of choice. One must
- start with the Opening of the Temple in the mode of the selected tablet.
- Then one will recite the appropriate Enochian Calls. Then an invocation
- of the King and Seniors. And, finally the invocation of the higher
- angels and the evocation of the lesser.
-
- Of the charge and instructions, license to depart; nearly
- anything works. This aspect of the ritual is dependant on the reasons
- and nature of the given ritual.
-
- So ends this first installment on the subject of this most Holy
- Magick of Enoch. Go now unto thy habitations, study, understand, and
- become wise!
