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.\u00a0<\/p>\u2014Aleister Crowley, The Palace of the World<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is a visual representation of the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the center is the Kabbalistic Cross with the Hebrew words Ateh, Malkuth, ve-Geburah, ve-Gedulah, le-Olahm, Amen. Ateh is white to represent Kether, Malkuth is yellow to represent Malkuth, ve-Geburah is orange to represent Geburah, ve-Gedulah is deep violet to represent Chesed, and le-Olahm\/Amen is clear pink rose to represent Tiphareth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the center are four orange scarlet pentagrams, one drawn in each quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arranged around that are the godnames, beginning at the top in the east and moving clockwise: YHVH, ADNI, AHIH, and AGLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around that are the names of the Archangels invoked in each quarter: Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Auriel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each quarter is colored according to the element associated with it: air, fire, water, and earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around that is the AHIHVH hexagram. As Crowley says in The Palace of the World<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[The six-rayed star] flames both above and beneath the magus, who is thus in a cube of 4 pentagrams and 2 hexagrams, 32 points in all. And 32 is [AHIHVH], the sacred word that expresses the Unity of the Highest and the Human.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For more on the significance of this hexagram, see Sepher Sephiroth<\/em>, entries for 32 and 358, as well as Crowley’s introduction to Liber HHH<\/em> in Magick<\/em>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
