That kinda defeats the whole idea, y'know.

I figured that would be the answer I would get.
This formula could be worked successfully alone couldn't it? Taking the "maiden" as the priest himself (or at least his yod
) and the "priest" is himself mystically in the God-form of the god invoked that way the sacrifice is made of the priest by the priest so that "priest" is still "joined to priest" but after another manner. This is a method I have worked out based on the lines of the Grimorium Sanctissimum. I am still working it out but I was wondering if anyone had done the same. -
Sure. The symbols all exist within oneself and, even with two parties, the eventual transformations are within oneself. And, in the highest forms and results, the K&C of the HGA could be expressed in this language.
I guess my question would be: So why pick this particular formula rather than another? This was particularly written to ritualize the way that two become one.

Exactly! This whole thing occurred to me while studying and meditating on Liber Samekh and the points from our previous conversation. I was ultimately, I think, looking for a self-sufficient, self-contained bridal of this type of magick (suitable partners are hard to come by for this).

This formula was highly revered by crowley and I am beginning to see why, with all the symbolism of the 5=6 within initiation brought down to the material plane.

Essentially, isn't all ritual the uniting of two, I understand that the two you speak of is of a different nature but I think the solo ritual can fulfill that also
