Invoking hexagram ritual with Zodiac
-
93,
Question.... I mostly work with planetary forces so make frequent use of the greater ritual of the Hexagram.
So typically if I were working with say Venus/Netzach and wanted to work with the forces of Assiah I would invoke down through the angelic hierarchy calling Haniel, then Tirel, then Qedemel then Nogah.
My question is this.... I am planning a working to invoke the forces of aqaurius. So I will use the ruling planet (Saturn) and make the Aquairius glyph in the center of the hexagram - this much is clear from Liber O....
But.. How about the hierarchy of entities for invoking down to assiah? Do I invoke down through the Kabalalistic worlds using the Saturn angels (So Tzaphiel, Agiel, Zazel) but then use the Aquarian Dali instead of Shabbathai?
But in Jim's 776 1/2 there are also Archangels of Assiah (col 304) for the zodiac (so Kambriel for Aquarius). But then Cols 408/409 are blank for row 15 (aquarius) so no listed inteligeces or spirits, .....But then there are Angles ruling the signs and their lesser assistants (col 412 and 413). So should I instead invoke Kambriel, then Ansoel, then Tzakmaqiel, then Dali???
Thanks!!

There are two points of view. One is to treat it entirely as Saturn - That would be especially true if you wanted the Saturn theme foremost in the sign idea. The other... you continue...

Essentially, yes. (Unless you have reason to use the other form above.)
The one problem here is that, for the zodiac, the number and levels of angels (the population of Yetzirah) is huge and complex. In practice, that needs to be simplified.
For Aquarius on this "use its own hierarchy" model, to the level of Assiah, I would use the following:
ATZILUTH: Heh Yod Vav Heh
BRIAH: Kambriel
YETZIRAH: Ansoel (Col. 412)
ASSIAH: DaliThere is no reason to use the other Yetziratic powers unless you have a specific need for them directly. For example
Lesser Assistant Angel (Col. 413) is probably only useful as bridging to others beneath it.
Ditto for Angel Lords of Triplicities (Col. 414)
Angels of Decanates & Pentades (Cols. 418-424) are only relevant if you are addressing a sub-portion of the sign.
