Analysis of the LBRP

Here I am going to give a general analysis of a ritual and how it might be

conducted. It started with splitting the ritual into segments, then writing
out how they are performed and questions that I am prompted to write.
Then answering the questions using qabbalistic knowledge with a bit of
“intuition” thrown in as well. After all is done you then re-read it all and
check it actually answers the questions and meditate on it until it is
properly understood and known. In particular you might meditate on
certain symbols or paths involved in the ritual, for example, on the symbol
of the pentagram in this case, or on the Hebrew letters/paths that are
involved. In this case Path 19 primarily. For the general person, no doubt
this will look like a load of rambling babble, and me making random
assumptions on things. Perhaps it is, but the assumptions are primarily
based on qabbalah, upon which many western rituals are based and so
we can conclude that the rituals purposes can be found therein. But really
if it is only rambling babble it is not much my concern, for it has given me
results. It is up to you all as to what it is.

QCL

First I see myself growing larger, filling the whole universe with KETHER
above my head, my feet on the earth.

I pull down the light of KETHER to my forehead and pronounce ATAH (unto
thee)

Touch my sternum and pronounce MALKUTH (The Kingdom)

See the vertical beam of white light go down my whole body and through
the earth.

Touch right shoulder and pronounce VE-GEBURAH (The Power) while

seeing a red orb on my shoulder and a white light expanding out right and
connecting to the vertical line.

Touch left shoulder and pronounce VE-GEDULAH (The Glory) while seeing
a blue orb on my shoulder and a white light expanding out to the left and
to the vertical line of light.

Clasp hands/dagger in centre of chest and pronounce LE-OLAM (Unto the

Ages) AMEN (Truth)

Questions:

Why am I growing larger? Why do I pull down white light to my forehead?

Who is this “thee?” Why do I touch Tiphareth when saying MALKUTH?
Why does the light go on forever? Why am I bringing CHESED and
GEBURAH into this? Why do I clasp my hands in the centre of my chest?
What importance does the cross of light have? Why is it white light? What
do KETHER, MALKUTH, CHESED and GEBURAH represent? What is the
purpose of the QCL in the beginning of the ritual?

Drawing of the Pentagrams

In the east I take my dagger & draw a flaming blue earth banishing
pentagram. The same pentagram is drawn in all four cardinal corners.
They are drawn in a clockwise direction, east, south, west, north.

Questions: Why are the pentagrams seen as blue? Why is the earth
banishing pentagram used? Wouldn’t blue be for water, yet we’re using an
earth pentagram...Why is the same pentagram used in all four quarters?
Why four pentagrams? What precisely does the pentagram represent?
Why do we go in a clockwise direction? Isn’t that the direction for invoking
not banishing!

Connecting

A flaming line is drawn from one pentagram to the other, in the end
forming a flaming circle studded with the pentagrams in four corners.

Questions: What colour is this flaming line? Flame automatically makes me

think of fire and red, this seems most appropriate. But all readings I’ve
really done don’t indicate any flame between the pentagrams, or they say
to use a white or blue flame between the pentagrams…which is more
correct? What does the circle represent here?

Charging the Pentagrams

In the east YHVH is used, in the south ADNI is used, in the west AHYH is
used, in the north AGLA is used. Sign of the Enterer is formed at first, then
sign of silence after the charging of each.

Questions: Why is YHVH used in the east? Why is ADNI used in the south?
Why is AHYH used in the west, why is AGLA used in the north? Why are
both the god-forms used HORUS ones? Does this have some kabbalistic
significance here? What do they both represent? Why is a steel dagger
used in this ritual?

Calling the Archangels

Sign of OSIRIS slain is formed. “Before me RAPHAEL, behind me

GABRIEL, on my right hand MICHAEL, on my left hand URIEL” is stated.

Questions: Why are these angels used and not others? Why in those
directions? Are these the elemental or sephirah angels? Are they any
different from each other? Why does the statement go East, West, South,
North (EWSN) instead of clockwise like the rest? Why is OSIRIS Slain
formed?

Final Statement

The sign of OSIRIS slain is held. “For about me flames the pentagram” is
said, seeing them blaze even brighter. The sign of OSIRIS risen is formed.
“& within me shines the six rayed star” is said, seeing a hexagram flaming
on the chest, upper portion red, lower portion blue.

Questions: Why are we stating that the pentagrams are flaming-isn’t this
already known? Why is OSIRIS risen formed before the hexagram
statement? What is the significance of the hexagram? Isn’t it and OSIRIS
related to TIPHARETH? So now it has gone from GEBURAH to
TIPHARETH? What’s the significance of TIPHARETH?

QCL

Why do we do this part again at the end? Does it have some other
significance when used at the end rather than the beginning?

Answers:

QCL

I am growing larger because this represents the ascent up the path of the
Silver Arrow. But I keep my feet on the earth, so that this ascent is allowed
to influence the world and “lift all other’s up after me.” The act of being
larger also signifies me being more like a god, and gives a greater feeling
of power and authority for the rest of the ritual.

The “thee” is obviously some higher being, perhaps God? Or later looking
at the ritual seems to signify the HGA. White light is a symbol of purity by
most, so obviously this is a rite of purification and sanctification of the self
to this higher being, aspiring to it, as signified by the growing larger and
KETHER, whose Peak Experience is Union with God. KETHER is a state of
no polarity, of stillness, or constant action. The state of Godhood. So one
is rising up the middle pillar, sanctifying oneself and aspiring for godhood
through this ritual! The forehead is the centre of the Ajna chakra,
representing intuition and sight, so that we always keep the aspiration
before our eyes. MALKUTH relates to the physical world and the four
elements? What importance has this here? This is a spiritual ritual isn’t it!?

MALKUTH Peak Experience is Vision of the HGA, and we touch

TIPHARETH when we say MALKUTH, it seems obvious that this Vision is
what we are longing for! Not only that, but we can see TIPHARETH under
KETHER most certainly as a representation of SHIN, and MALKUTH is the
four elements, as represented by YHVH. So then the QCL is in attempt,
calling down SHIN into YHVH, which gives us the divine name YHShVH…
of which “there is no greater name under all the heavens to achieve
salvation.” Not only this but we wish the divine light and guidance of the
HGA to descend into our daily lives as well, thus we keep our feet on the
earth, so that not only do our own lives live under it’s will and get better,
but we can spread such harmony to others. This is all done in harmony,
both Sephirah being non-polar, KETHER is Air and MALKUTH is Earth, so
they are polar opposites as well. Maintaining a proper balance in the being
of the person. CHESED and GEBURAH represent the highest
manifestations of CHOCKMAH and BINAH the mind can properly
comprehend. GEBURAH is called upon first because we are focusing on
our ascent up the tree, as well as SHIN’s descent down. GEBURAH is the
Summit of Power. It represents fire, the will, vitality and the aggressive
forces this is good, but only when guided under the authority of CHESED
later called on. CHESED is water and it’s Peak Experience is experiencing
Universal Love. So again, you are aspiring to achieve that universal love
for this “thee” (HGA). Another reason this order is done, is that the balance
can be properly attained. Water when placed on a roaring flame will cause
a beautiful hissing sound and create air element, that is balance found in
the final intonation representative of TIPHARETH. However if we did it the
other way this would not work properly, a match will not properly light
when the water is already present. GEBURAH is also more physical
whereas CHESED is more mental, so then we are again, representing our
own ASCENT, rather than the SHIN’s DESCENT. The path between these
two is assigned to the tarot card Strength, when upright it is spiritual
strength, the holy warrior overcoming all odd’s which would rather have
him not reach such heights, and boy how much strength it shall need of
you! This 19th path also has connection’s to the Serpent and Lion. This
Lion is the means of which the lead of man’s lower self is transmuted to
the Gold of the Higher self. CHESED and GEBURAH lead into the
manifestation of the Ruach, so this is also signifying the subjection of the
Ruach to the Yechidah.

Why does the light go on forever? Because we long to follow in our will,
forever, just like the final statement says “Forever, So be it!” This is not
some shallow one time want, this is something we want FOREVER. It is
the magicians aspiration, to do their WILL. The cross is seen as a symbol
of harmony between the elements, it was identified as “the most firm
receptacle of Celestial powers” as wrote Agrippa. Is this not just perfect?
For here we have Air, Earth, Fire and Water sphere’s formed! We are
invoking the celestial powers to sanctify us. It is only straight lines. Let
God make straight our way, let us not walk crookedly anymore!

Drawing of the Pentagrams

Answers: The Pentagram represents that divine name Yeheshua and thus
the dominion of the mind over the elements. Now that the Ruach has been
offered as a suitable servant of the Holy Guardian Angel, the lower
sephirah, particularly Malkuth are also made more subservient to it through
the use of this symbol. The Pentagram can also be assigned by kabbalistic
analysis down the tree, to Geburah. That is the major sephirah of the Will,
it is assertive, dominating and fire element. However it is visualized in blue,
this does not seem properly assigned at all to this symbol, it represents
water or more specifically in this analysis Chesed. So then we are
representing the Chesed form of Geburah, for we can place the tree in
each sephirah if we desire, this makes it a balanced symbol, representing
the assertive power and authority of the pentagram under the objective,
purposeful forces of Chesed. However, why are we using the earth
pentagram? If the colour used relates to water or Chesed? Simply
because that is just the start, we are starting from the earth i.e. Malkuth.
Again we are representing our aspiration, from earth we go to spirit. Earth
also contains all the other three elements. Why four pentagrams? Again, 4
is the number of Chesed, so we are making quite sure that the assertive
and dominating powers of Geburah are always kept under the balance of
Chesed. Along with this, there are four elements aside from that fifth,
which the magician represents when the circle is complete in the centre.
So he is making sure that all of the being is submitted to this purpose and
will of the Holy Guardian Angel. So then here I have given the reason (from
my own assimilation of ideas however and by no means true to who may
read this!) why the earth pentagram is used in all four quarters, simply this
is not quite a simple elemental ritual, it is much more, and due to such,
black as we would think suitable, or red, is NOT used as the colour of the
pentagram. We go clockwise because…this is not a banishing ritual! We
are not “banishing earth” , if we wanted to do that, then in the QCL we
would not have kept our feet here! No. Instead we are invoking, we are
invoking the pentagram, the HGA (to a lesser degree albeit) and the
powers of Geburah and Chesed. Indeed we do banish undesirable things,
but ONLY through the invocation of such things, creating a tension effect
causing a natural disintegration and ejection of the undesirable particles
and a natural defence against them. We are in effect banishing BY earth.
Some also point to the sun as being a reason, this ritual seems to focus a
lot on the HGA so this may be suitable, but I think the above explanation is
more suitable than some mere “astrological reason” which is eaten up
without a thought.

Connecting

A simple glance at the tree shall indicate that white is not the correct
colour for this circle to be formed from. Chesed nor Geburah have a direct
path to Kether, it makes little sense. So we are left with blue or red (the
later being what naturally is brought to my mind through the word “flame”).
First I must understand more what the circle represents. The circle
represents the infinite, without end or beginning, it represents the
perfected microcosm and macrocosm, and is identified with Kether,
normally. Anyone standing in the centre (which the magician is at the end)
is representative of the divine. Now, an extra word, Chesed is often
identified as the “mini-Kether” because it is the first “real” sephirah that
the mind can comprehend below the abyss, so is also given the number of
Kether, 1, as well as 4. So then the circle here can be seen as representing
Chesed, which fits in with our current progress which seems to indicate it
is primarily concerned with influences of Geburah and Chesed. Now as we
already know, blue is Chesed and red is Geburah. So what colour to use?
Since we now know the symbol of Chesed is a circle as well, it would
seem correct to use blue flames to link them…or would it? The pentagram
has the colour of Chesed used, while it is more of Geburah (though this
being purely geometric, as the pentagram represents the perfected Adam
Kadmon and so all the sephirah balanced) while the circle we know,
represents Chesed. So along these lines of thought, to keep in context
with the rest of the ritual focused on balance and not extreme on any one
point, it is actually more correct (it seems to me!) to use a burning red
flame, to keep up this balance.

Charging the Pentagrams

For this part of my analysis it will be required that I analyse the individual
letters, path associations and tarot cards so that we can get a proper view
of the names invoked, these are: YHVH (east), ADNY (south), AHYH (west)
and AGLA (north)

First thing of notice is they all contain 4 letters, there are four pentagrams,
four elements etc. So again the above statements can apply here as well. 

We are facing the east first, where the sun rises. YHVH represents the
binding of the four elements, when we use the pentagram we are
representing YHShVH so balancing this binding and keeping it under Will,
balance is a key aspect of air, to the east. Of which we are purportedly
facing Tiphareth at this point. But that aside, Yod represents the fist, it is
what “gets things rolling” whereas Heh is important concerning the
consciousness of the alchemical substance (in this case yourself) Vav
represents the son, the path of redemption and the joy thereof, then we go
back into Heh, a continual changing in consciousness ever up to bliss. It is
the initial whirling setting things in motion, which relates to air as signified
by Path 11(so thusly although it does not explicitly have an A in it, like the
other three names invoked, it nonetheless represents similar powers to A).

Passing from the letter analysis we can go more specifically into the Path
and tarot analysis as written two paragraphs up. Path 20 is between
Tiphareth and Chesed. Another factor that must be taken into account is
that there are two methods of transversing the tree, up or down. In this
case we know we have already drawn the pentagrams (which by its colour
is related to Chesed) so we can see that this is flowing DOWN the Path,
from Chesed into Tiphareth. Such direction of flow must be taken into
account if a good sense of what is happening is to be realized (as a
general rule, the flow is normally DOWN the path’s however, so if one is
not sure, go with that) So we have the whirling force being started, the
Hermit shows the light urging one on further, the attainment is not yet
done! H is connecting Chockmah and Tiphareth. Chockmah is The Father.
The path here has a relation to the consciousness being worked upon, and
indeed The Emperor is assigned here, one is taking up the authority of the
Father, it is taken to do the Will. V is connecting Chockmah and Chesed.
Now instead of the authority being taken up, morality and virtue are
brought down into our being (into Chesed, that being “Love” which
equalises justice, as well as being a “mini-Kether), so that we do not
misuse our authority previously given to us. The Heirophant is described
as our means to God, and lo, morality is key! Then we return back to the
descending and reaffirmation of the authority now cast upon us, mediated
by our morality and all set into motion under the Will of God. This is a
rough look at YHVH, there is FAR much more in this name, I dare not say
anymore on it! In the end we have God becoming conscious and
manifesting the son, and expressing consciousness through that son.  

Now to ADNY! Again A in this as in all represents the beginning whirlings,

setting into action creation proper, it is the divine first truly revealing itself.
It then moves into creating the act of union through rising up the being and
generating the ‘dark night of the soul’ generating the one consciousness
wanted.

AHYH-Represents practically the same thing as ADNY. There is an initial

creation, which sets forth the knowledge of the consciousness which is
then manifested through by God, and then the knowledge of the whole
consciousness of God is also attained. Therefore it represents self
realization followed by eventual God realization.

AGLA-We have again the first movement, which then moves into
acceptance into ‘the hall of adepts’ followed by justice, all that has been
done is then rewarded or punished accordingly. Then we finish with Aleph
again, a new cycle of work has now begun, the person has reached adept-
hood.

So then we have the whole cycle up to adept-hood symbolised in the

LBRP. When we take it all together in order, we first have God realizing
consciousness and manifesting it through us, this is the first initial act
needed to step on the path of the great work. Then we have the work of
ADNY which is the balancing of the self and eventual ‘dark night of the
soul’ leading us to proper ultimate union within ourselves. This is then
followed by the work of AHYH which is self-realization, which is then
followed by God-realization. After such we are accepted into the hall of the
adepts and polished, justice is given on us and we then enter a whole new
cycle.

We are using the godforms of Horus which represent Geburah, as we have

acknowledged, it is one of the main sephirah of concern in this ritual. The
left foot is flung forward, the left finger touched to lips etc. This represents
the same as the pentagram, the energies of Chesed flowing THROUGH
the form of Geburah. All in this ritual is done in a state of balance. A steel
dagger represents again the energies of Geburah being utilized, the will of
the magician. The sign of the enterer is energising, the beginning of
something, the sign of silence however is contracting and represents a
finalisation.

Calling the Archangels

Osiris represents Tiphareth, the sphere of the adept. The fact that he is
slain represents the death of the old consciousness and inevitable entering
into a newer consciousness, it is a receptive state. The angels used are the
arch-angels of the elements: Air, Fire, Water and Earth respectively, in their
appropriate quarters. Raphael is “Healing of God” which is appropriate as
the first thing called upon, for you are now slain. RPAL: Here we have the
collecting up of solar attributes particularly of our concern, life, as well as
the attributes of mercury (which are intellectual) and using the foundation
of Yesod for manifestation (which you may take as the subconscious in
this case). It is then applied in a destructive manner which sets forth the
creation of a levelling out affect on the being. In affect then Raphael
represents ‘your sins be forgiven’…which happens to be akin to what
Christ was said to say normally when he healed others. Then we invoke
Gabriel, whose name means “Strength of God” Of course, if you have
been healed then you must have gained some strength of God. More
important though is the fact that you have begun the removal of sin, and
thusly make him happy so God will, if it is appropriate do what is good for
you, so you have his strength. GBRIAL. Again a point is made of
acceptance into the adept-hood and the focus of the work all unto that
one consciousness, the will and the subsequent balancing out of ‘karma’
or ‘sin.’ Next we go on to invoke Michael, whose name means “Like unto
God”. Of course, after your sins are forgiven, then you could likely be
called alike unto God. MIKAL. This represents mankind in state of sin, who
go about sinning, but then God’s consciousness moves through them and
urges them otherwise, in this case, to the expanding consciousness and
love of God, through which the being is again lead into a state of balance.
Finally we call on Uriel, whose name means “God’s Light.” VRIAL. Which
represents the act of redemption due to the collection of the self all unto
God and its resulting balancing out. Of note is that most angels names
end in AL representing their balanced state and affect of generating it in
others. It is done in the specific order E-W-S-N to maintain a state of
balance. The active principles are called on first and then balanced by the
passive principles, this is how creation was said to manifest, and so how
this mini creation manifests as well (air and fire being active, water and
earth being passive).

Final Statement

The statement energizes the present pentagrams and affirms their

presence. The sign of Osiris risen is then formed, which represents the
resurrection after the death, into the sphere of the adept proper and alive,
after receiving the influx of energies from the angels. At the same time the
second half of the statement is made concerning the hexagram. The
hexagram represents again, Tiphareth. It represents the state of balance
and union between the pairs of opposites. Of notice is that some, the more
original ritual itself often said ‘before me shines the pentagram and behind
me flames the six-rayed star’ which represents the portal grade 5=6,
where one becomes an adept.

QCL

We do this again at the end, after the ritual is finished because we want to
affirm that the guidance and aspiration remains throughout our daily life as
well and is not something we just temporarily take up then leave. This acts
as a sealing of the ritual, the being is made sure that it is in balance and
energies are diffused properly throughout the sphere.

We must also look at the paths specifically attributed to it, of utmost

importance are path 19, 20 and 22. Again here we have it, the uniting of
opposites which leads to the movement of that one called ‘God’ which has
a levelling affect on our being and the removal of ‘karma.’

So then the rituals whole focus is not on ‘banishing’ at all! In fact, it seems
to be on the aspiration to the HGA and the resulting adept-hood. The ritual
itself represents the whole act of this in a miniature version. Through this
ritual the creative forces of Will and Imagination (Geburah and Chesed) are
combined to culminate in a ‘son’, adept-hood. The self is made to co-
operate as one being, anything that goes against such is removed through
putrification and ejection from the sphere. All the while, with the use of the
pentagram, keeping such ejections from returning. So then it is a
banishing ritual, but not in the way most may think, and it happens to
involve a fair bit of invocation as well. The whole ritual places emphasis on
being balanced at all times where possible, which is said to be a key to
proper rising. This is all of course, only according to Me.

So then let’s conclude again with the ritual description proper:

Perform the QCL

1.   Facing east, breathe rhythmically for a few minutes calming your mind.

2.      Rise up, keeping the feet on the earth, ever growing through space
until you come to a brilliant white flame or sphere directly above your
head, Kether.

3.   Pull the light down to your forehead saying: “ATAH”

4.   Touch the sternum, pointing down and say “MALKUTH”

5.      See the light descend down to the feet and stimulate the Malkuth
sephirah.

6.   Bring the hand to the right shoulder and pronounce “Ve-Geburah”

7.      Move the hand to the left shoulder and say “Ve-Gedulah” seeing a
beam of white light go horizontally shoulder to shoulder.

8.   Clasp hands at the chest and say “Le-olam, Amen”

9.      Notice and feel the cross within you, if you are so inclined you may
have it turn gold, and see a red rose erupting over your chest (of course
you will need to look into such symbolism yourself)

Drawing and Charging the Pentagrams

1.     Facing east still, take your dagger (or your thumb/sign of benediction)
and begin to draw the earth banishing pentagram, from the lower left
point, up to spirit, down to lower right point, up to upper left point, across
to upper right point and finally down to lower left point again, (left hip, top
of head, right hip, off left shoulder, off right shoulder, back to left
hip)finishing exactly where you started, they should be brightly flaming in
blue.

2.   Then breathe in the name YHVH, having it fill your whole body.

3.     Proceed into the Sign of the Enterer by lifting your palms up to your
temples, palms down and thrusting both them and your left foot forward at
once.

4.      Vibrate YHVH feeling it expand out to the edges of the eastern
universe (theoretical ‘edges’) and then returning to you, while the
pentagram intensifies in brightness and pulsates.

5.      Form the Sign of Silence by bringing your left foot back slightly, still
forward of right, and bringing the left index finger to the lips.

6.      Keeping the tool in the centre of the pentagram move to the next
quarter (South in this case) visualizing a bright red flame following behind
as you move the tool.

7.      Repeat steps 1-7 with each appropriate quarter and God-name.
(South-ADNI, West-AHIH, North-AGLA)

8.      Return to the east, acknowledging the blue pentagrams flaming

around you, all connected together by a blazing red circle.

Calling of the Arch-Angels

1.   Take the form of Osiris Slain: Feet together, arms outstretched parallel
to the floor, palms forward.

2.      Say: “Before me Raphael” seeing a figure clothed in a yellow robe

flecked with violet, holding a caduceus wand. Feel the wind from behind
Raphael blow you.

3.     Say: “Behind me Gabriel” seeing a figure in a blue robe flecked with
orange, holding a silver cup and standing amidst a stream of flowing
water. Feel the water rush over you.

4.     Say: “On my right hand Michael” seeing a figure in a red robe flecked
with green, holding a flaming sword, standing in a desert. Feel the heat
burn up all impurities.

5.   Say: “On my left hand Uriel” seeing a figure in a robe of black holding a
pentacle or some wheat, standing in a farmland. Feel what’s left being
stabilized.

Final Statement

1.      Say: “For about me shines the pentagram” seeing them suddenly
shining brighter and pulsating more powerfully with life.

2.     Take on the form of Osiris risen: Cross the arms over the chest, right
hand over left shoulder, left hand over right shoulder and bow the head
slightly.

3.      Say: “And within me flames the six rayed star” seeing a hexagram,
with the top triangle in fire red and the bottom one in blue and like water.

4.   Perform the QCL again.

One should do this ritual during a Saturn or Venus hour, considering those
are both earthy planets and we are using the earth pentagram. They will
give you different effects which should be recorded.

Thus concludes my analysis. Keep in mind, what I have given here is in no

way complete, there is a lot more that can be looked into and SHOULD be
looked into if you are to get the full benefits of the ritual. Do not take
anything I say as true unless you yourself have tested it and found it to be
true. What I have provided is only some scrap parts of my own analysis
into the LBRP to provide some example of what should be done with all
magical rituals if you wish to achieve their full potential benefits. It is of no
purpose to you, if you yourself do not put some effort in and meditate on
the meanings of the symbols and why they are used. If something I say
does not click with you in this ritual, then discard it. The process is simple,
write out the ritual, then ask questions as your mind begs you to. Take
notice of all of them and write them down. Then proceed to answer them
until you are sure they are answered properly. Do not rush it to try and get
to the performance, this IS the magic. Look to qabbalah for your answers,
this is not me saying the qabbalah knows all, but it is me saying that the
creators of this ritual, knew something of qabbalah and no doubt based
this ritual on qabbalah, so to understand what the creator intended it to
do, you also must look into qabbalah. Things must be looked at in
CONTEXT of their situation. It will require EFFORT, I don’t believe many will
be bothered. It personally took me a month or so to complete this analysis
properly to my acceptance where I could begin to get reliable results
consistently. It has supposedly worked for others, it has definitely worked
for me and if you do the analysis properly, it should also work for you. To
those who do decide to take up the daunting task, I offer you my best
wishes, might it be as beneficial to you as it was and is to me. It has
supposedly worked for others, it has definitely worked for me and if you
do the analysis properly, it should also work for you.

The general outline for this analysis was prompted by my reading of

Joseph C. Lisiewski’s ‘Kabbalistic Handbook for the Practicing Magician.’
While the analysis given itself is my own one, he provides the outlines and
much other information which is of much benefit, for people engaging in
such, they certainly ought to get his book. I also personally for analysis
purposes in western rituals (GD mostly) can recommend Garden of
Pomegrenates, Three Books of Occult Philosophy, most of Levi’s works,
The Secret and Invisible Rosicrucian Order and Waite’s: The Holy
Kabbalah.
