Abremalin AND employment

You're welcome.
I feel compelled to pray we each take on this operation, in this lifetime, with strength and success, Lord willing. Enjoy.

Though not of book length, you might want to see the the excerpts from The Magical Record of BROTHER PROSERPINUS during his Season of the Performance of The SACRED MAGICK of ABRAMELIN the MAGE in Black Pearl No. 6.

I feel I should point out that there's a common misconception that the original Book of Abra-melin suggests you MUST go on some kind of hermitage and completely disconnect from all your affairs to do this ritual.
That's not true. If you read the text, it states that while that would probably be the EASIEST way to do it, you can do it in almost any circumstance, even if you're a servant or laborer, and it describes ways one should try to compensate.I held down a job all through my period of doing the K&C of the HGA.

I agree.
It is my observation that **ceremonial **magick has too great an influence on many of us. Ceremonies are just one phase; you know, wandering around in the dark with attire any normal child would be really scared of etc... LOLCeremonial stuff is OK, but not absolutely necessary. I know an Adept who did the HGA operation while abroad in military base. Go figure.
It can be done, simply because HGA is not bound by physical body, circumstances or environment, and neither are we.

If you mean the later, I wholeheartedly agree.

I was not clear but I was implying successfully completing K&C of the HGA, no matter what method of attainment one chooses.

I thought so.

Ehm, I'd like to share my thoughts on the subject:
I read it, the diary entries were a bit boring to read, but the end is worth the while.
Author did force it a bit, in my opinion, and I think it is better to attain K&C of HGA prior attempting such an Operation.
Also, author did it in 2004 I think, when the more complete translation has not yet been available. I'd recommend the new translation (Georg Dehn et al), it actually is more informative, IMO.But, all in all, it is good to see that it can be done under the fire of mundane shitty job.
The reference of the "big hole in the chest" and "there is no one here" after the attainment is more or less how I'd describe post K&C of HGA scenario.
Tnx again for sharing the link.
