Notes on the Rituals


Egyptian Master Ritual

Although the Law is, 'harm none', there will be occasions when some really strong magic is called for. This ritual is the strongest I have found. I and associates have only used it on a few occasions, and we have always used the Sunset Ritual to banish persons who are causing real harm to us, our loved ones or people we care about. We would only ever do this against people we are thoroughly convinced are evil and who must be stopped before they can harm anyone else. The form and intention of the Sunset Ritual as we practise it is to send a person into the underworld with the setting sun. What happens to him once down there is none of our business and is for the gods to settle. The ritual must be carefully timed so that the magic is projected at the exact moment of sunset. This can be obtained from a daily newspaper or astrological almanac. We have had considerable success with this ritual. Be aware before you use it, however, that some sacrifice will be called for from the participants. The Egyptian gods are strong, and they require something in return for their trouble. So be prepared.

Example

An initiate was cheated out of money by someone she regarded as a friend. We first satisfied ourselves as to the validity of the case. Then we did the Master Ritual and sent him to the underworld. We later learned he went bankrupt. That night after we did the magic  I had to descend a dark staircase into a dark hallway and do battle with demons. Wolf dreamed he was in a subterranean swimming pool - a black dog swam up to him and bit off his balls. Although apparently dreams, these are real psychic tests and sacrifices. If you cannot cope with this type of psychic battle, don't do the Ritual.

Subduing a Rebellious Spirit

This is another old Ritual, conducted in Latin, a language demons understand. It is powerful and strong. This is to be used when you are convinced of the existence of a demon or negative entity. Again, the forces you are up against are strong ones, you must erect the triangle of Art and obey all the rules about not going outside the circle during the ritual.

Example

A lady (stranger to us) and her husband had to go to his mother's flat in Manchester and wind up the mother's affairs. She had had a stroke, been taken to hospital, and though partly recovered was diagnosed unfit to live alone and taken into a home. On sorting through the mother;s things, the wife found what she could only describe as a voodoo doll at the bottom of the wardrobe, hidden under piles of papers and clothing. Very shocked, she consulted a friend, who knew me, and advised her to get in touch. Lucky she did, as the doll had a face pasted over the original doll face - it was a face cut from a photo, a cousin of the family. The lady's first instinct had been to burn the doll. I advised this would not be wise, as it might bring harm to the cousin. We arranged to go down there and do what we could.

       We took with us a physical circle, drawn on a large sheet, which we could sit inside. It was inscribed round the perimeter with the tetragrammaton and other protective sigils. We had a paper triangle of art which we placed in the correct alignment. Our preparations were very thorough. We had stones and symbols of the correct nature for the four directions.

       I think now that what we did wrong (if it was wrong) was to take the voodoo doll in to the circle with us. Probably it should have been placed in the Triangle of Art. However the decision was taken to place it in the centre of the circle, and to summon any demons to appear in the triangle. On my arrival I did not want to see the doll. I felt a fear of it. Wolf and I sat at opposite sides of the circle with the Thing in the middle. I felt a slow tide creep out from it and towards me, like the slow lapping of a tide on the shore. I told myself this was imagination. We dealt with the Thing and, leaving the flat, drove to the river Irwell and threw it in with appropriate incantation.

        The interesting thing happened on our return to the host's house. They had taken us there before visiting the flat and all had been well. They had an old,  friendly dog they adored, and we love dogs too. But when we returned, it was a different story. The dog could not stand me, it really went crazy and looked about to attack, though they insisted it was not capable of doing much harm. I knew it was the spirit and that it had left the doll and was in me.

       During the night, I did battle with the spirit and banished it from me. I awoke as it left. So all was well in the end. Magic is a learning process. You have to be strong enough to deal with your mistakes as well as your successes.
