Lesser Banishing of the Pentagram

Posted by: Tanoro - January 05, 2007

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram is a very powerful cleansing ritual used to spiritually sterilize an area for ritual working. It is very useful in preparation for rituals in which you fear meeting negative forces as well as establishing a sacred place for your work. This ritual can also be used as an exorcism and can help reduce distraction during meditation. This is truly a special ritual that should be in any good Craft user's repertoire.
The effect of this ritual lasts until the next rising or setting of the sun. However, this ritual is more than just that. Practicing this ritual has a refining effect on the caster and is great for getting familiar with the subtle energies used in ritual spell casting. It can be done with only yourself and no other Craft users, so practicing it is easy.

Procedure
1. Walk to the eastern side of the room, facing east.
2. Perform the Qabalistic Cross.
3. With your index and middle fingers, trace a pentagram in the air in front of you. Visualize the pentagram burning with a blue flame. This ritual will require such a pentagram drawn at the four cardinal directions in the following pattern. Be sure to start and end at position A. Each pentagram should be fairly large. Point A should be around your left hip region. Point B would be around your head, roughly.

4. Once you have drawn the pentagram, plunge your fingers into the middle of the pentagram in a stabbing fashion.
5. Vibrate the word YHVH (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh). Visualize the sound of this word reaching far into the universe.
6. Moving clockwise around the circle, step to the southern point. Your arm should still be outstretched and tracing the blue flaming energy.
7. Draw another pentagram exactly as you did for the East. This time, vibrate the word Adonai (Ah-Doh-Nay).
8. Continue this process to the western point. Your fingers should still be out and tracing the blue fiery line.
9. Trace a third pentagram. Plunge your fingers into it and vibrate Eheieh (Eh-Heh-Yeh).
10. By now, you should have an idea on where I'm going with this. Trace more fire as you step to the north. Draw the flaming pentagram and plunge your fingers into it. Vibrate AGLA (Aye-Geh-Lah).
11. Return to the east to complete the flaming circle.
12. Stretch out your arms to form a cross with your body.
13. Vibrate Before me Raphael (Rah-Fi-El). Visualize a tall archangel wearing glowing robes of yellow silk standing before you. Visualize the cool breeze blowing from his direction.
14. Vibrate Behind me Gabriel (Gah-Brah-El). Gabriel should be visualized behind you. He should be wearing blue with an orange offset. He holds a blue chalice or goblet. Imagine him standing in a stream of flowing water.
15. Vibrate At my right hand Michael (Me-Ken-El). Michael will appear to your right. Michael wears fiery red and stands upon scorched, flaming earth. He carries a steel sword. Visualize the fiery heart drawing from him.
16. Vibrate At my left hand Auriel (Or-Eye-El). Auriel is the final archangel and stands to your left. He wears darker shades of black, russet, and olive. In his outstretched hands are sheaves of corn. He stands upon fertile ground.
17. Vibrate Around me flame the pentagrams; above me shines the six-rayed star. Picture a hexagram above you. Note the colors I used. The triangle which faces upwards should be red and other should be blue.

18. Perform the Qabalistic Cross once more. That completes the ritual.

Qabalistic Cross
1. With your right hand, point to a spot roughly three inches above your head. Visualize a glowing orb or sphere of white light hovering there.
2. Using visualization, draw that energy downward as a shaft of light as you touch your forehead.
3. As you touch your forehead, vibrate the word Ateh (Ah-Teh).
4. Continue downward to your breastbone with your hand. When you touch your breastbone, let the shaft of light energy penetrate your body as it extends to the ground through your body.
5. Vibrate the word Malkuth (Mal-Kuth).
6. Touch your right shoulder next, visualizing another orb of light there.
7. Vibrate Ve Geburah (Veh-Geb-your-Ah).
8. Touch your left shoulder now, visualizing a third sphere there. Draw a second shaft of light from the right sphere to your left one.
9. Vibrate Ve Gedulah (Veh-Ged-You-Lah).
10. Clasp your hands together at your chest as if holding water, visualizing a small flame in your hands.
11. Vibrate Le Olam (Lay-Oh-Lah-Eem).
12. Vibrate Amen (Ah-Men).
