Your Reddit occultist friends have mentioned it, it’s popping up on all these Tumblr posts about banishing and stuff, but you still haven’t the foggiest clue: what the fuck is the LBRP?
Fret not: here’s a handy guide. Warning: long post ahead!
Disclaimer: This guide represents the sum total of roughly thirteen years of on-and-off experience with the ritual and my own study and understanding of the Kabbalah and the Golden Dawn system, but emphasis is on the words my own. There will be points that I’m sure other occultists will disagree on, but I’m of the conviction that the principles underlying my understanding of the ritual are unlikely to be controversial among most ceremonial magicians.
This ritual is in beta testing. Feedback on it’s efficacy is welcome and appreciated.
Taken in part from the 6th & 7th Books of Moses and Grimoire Verum
Clean, exorcise, and consecrate a weather-proof, durable object that can be placed or buried in your garden in the manner appropriate to your tradition. On the hour and day of Venus, inscribe the Fourth Table of the Spirits of Earth onto the object in green paint, doves blood ink, or any similarly Venusian ink.
Light a green or white candle and place it upon the Table of Earth, then light a Venusian incense and recite the following three times:
In this, by this, and with this, which I pour out before Thy face, O God, my God, who art blessed, Three and One, and in the most sublime exaltation, who sittest above the Cherubim and above the Seraphim, who wilt judge the world by fire. Hear Thou me!
Lift up your eyes to heaven and say:
O Lord Almighty, who dost cause all things to move according to Thy good pleasure! Hear Thou my prayer and may my desire be agreeable unto Thee! Lord, O Lord! If Thou wilt, condescend to look upon this [item] and bless it, that so Anael, one of Thy servants, may pause thereon with her companions to satisfy me, [name], Thy poor and humble servant, O God, blessed and exalted above all the heavenly spirits, who livest and reignest forever and ever! Amen.
O Eternal! O King Eternal! God Ineffable! Thou who hast created all things for love of me, and by a secret judgment for the health of Man do Thou deign to look upon me [name], Thy most unworthy servant, and upon my intention. Vouchsafe to send unto me Thy Angel Anael, even upon this [item], who doth order, command, and ordain her companions and Thy subjects, whom Thou hast made! O Thou Almighty Lord, who hast been, who art, and who shalt remain eternally, that in Thy Name may they judge and act justly, instructing me in all that I shall require of them.
Then, breathe upon the [item] and say:
Come, Anael! Come! And may it be thy good pleasure to be with me by thy will, in the name of + the Father most mighty + of the Son most wise + in the name of the Holy Spirit most living + Come, Anael, in the name of the terrible JEHOVAH! Come, Anael, by the virtue of the immortal ELOHIM! Come, Anael, by the right arm of the mighty METATRON! Do thou come unto me [name], and so command thy subjects that in love, joy, and peace they may manifest unto my eyes the bounty of the Lord’s harvest! So be it. Amen.
I [name] command you, Awijel, by Otheos as also by Elmez through Agios. I [name], a servant of God, conjure you, Ahenatos Elion, as also Adon was cited and called Zabaoth.
Read the following Bible verses over the [item]:
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. (Psalm 65:9)
And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail (Isaiah 58:11)
Like valleys that stretch out, Like gardens beside the river, Like aloes planted by the LORD, Like cedars beside the waters. (Numbers 24:6)
For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations. (Isaiah 61:11)
Make the Sign of the Cross over yourself and the [item] and bury the [item] in your garden. Make the sign of the cross over yourself and the [item] every day for seven days or every Friday in hour of Venus for seven weeks (recommended).
Venusian workings on Fridays to procure the blessings of Anael are highly recommended. These can be as simple as lighting a candle and a brief prayer or as extensive as a full planetary or angelic evocation. As should be apparent from the verses chosen, water is a major issue in my area so feel free to adapt and modify the Bible verses to suit your particular situation.
Here is the most commonly used corrected version of the Table of Practice in Seven Spheres for anyone who’s interested. This is based off the Drawing Spirits Into Crystals section of The Fourth Book of Occult Philosphy and Barrett’s The Magus.
i. A magical miscellany, early 17th century. (MS. e Mus. 173, folios 61v – 62r) ii. The Rawlinson necromantic manuscript, 15th century. (MS. Rawl. D. 252, fol. 28v) iii. The Rawlinson necromantic manuscript, 15th century. (MS. Rawl. D. 252, fol. 29r)
Although many seventeenth-century magical manuscripts were no longer written in Latin, their authoritative mystique was preserved in the use of complex occult alphabets and mystical symbols. This miscellany contains relatively straightforward instructions of how ‘to see by thy selfe … in a crystall stone’ or ‘get treasure out of the sea’, but it also includes these elaborate magical charms. The circle bottom right wards off violent death ‘by sword and poison’. It is sealed with the spell-word ‘Abracalabra’ [sic] and promises the user ‘Verum est’ (It is true!). (x)
