Creating rituals
-
So, here's something that has had me scratching my head for awhile. I feel like I've read a fair bit of Thelemic material at this point and for the most part, I really haven't come across how to create your own ritual to obtain a certain goal. I know of the rituals of the pentagram and hexagram, star sapphire and ruby (though honestly I haven't ventured much beyond LBRP in practice) but even as far as they go, I don't quite know what they are for, or how they pertain to making your own rituals. I realize a lot of the material pertains to yoga and just overall learning to direct magick force which makes sense but I feel like I've been reading about that forever and understand naught. On a couple of occasions I've just ended up finding a wiccan spell of some sort (dime a dozen those are on the web) and opening and closing with a pentagram ritual. That's probably not the proper way to do things I'm guessing?

My book, 776 1/2, goes into that subject at length, plus gives 20 sample rituals.

Two best sources that I know of: Crowley's Magick in theory and practice & Eshelman's 776 1/2.
Jim's book covers the subject with a clear, detailed and methodical approach, it's a must-have for anyone interested in ceremonial work. -
