Questions on the Lesser Hexagram
-
You are definitely right (I didn't doubt you); just did both rituals with the full Hebrew, and got very warm and tingly (I am in the Bay Area...it's not a warm and tingly night). I was sweating and everything, even though my rituals were no more physically taxing than normal. It was like I had turned into a heater, though I had no other symptoms of fever.
Now I look back on literally YEARS of doing them, especially the LBRP, using the notarikon and wonder why the hell so many books would have it that way.
Thanks so much, Jim. You rock the house.

"Furthermore - as I explain elsewhere - A.R.A.R.I.T.A. is a blind. The entire sentence (of which it is the abbreviation) should be used. This makes it even less likely that the "one burst, rip it out" style would work. A sonorous chant while touching the implement to the center of the hexagram works splendidly."
Can you write a phonetic rendition of how Achad Rosh Achdotho Rosh Ichudo Temu-rahzo Achad should be pronounced with accents indicated?

I can approximate how it would be pronounced in spoken Hebrew. It is:
Echad,
rosh ache’dutho,
rosh yichudutho,
t’muratho echadwhere ch is a Cheth (close to "school" instead of "church), and the vowels are: e as in "bed," a as in "father," i as in "fig," o as in "show." The accent is on the last syllable in each case (for the words used here). The apostrophe is meant to be a schwa, and it's brief, unaccented nature is probably intuitively obvious in the rendering above.

Thank you for that explanation Jim.

could you post the correct hebrew phrase's replacing the notorikons(abbreviations, dont know how to spell the notor whatever word) for the lesser pentagram ritual?
also, in the rosy cross, atah and malkuth, they arent blinds like in the pentagram ritual right? or no?

Atoh Gibor Le'Olam Adonai (AGLA) is the only notariquon used in LBRP.
...perhaps this little excursion of topic warrants a new thread?

Do you want the Hebrew spelling, or the Hebrew pronunciation.
For the Hexagram Ritual, the phrase was given just above:
Echad,
rosh ache’dutho,
rosh yichudutho,
t’muratho echadThat is: AChD RASh AChDVThV RASh YChVDVThV ThMVRThV AChD.
For the Pentagram Ritual, it is:
AThH GBVR LOVLM ADNI, Attah gibbor le-olam, Adonai."also, in the rosy cross, atah and malkuth, they arent blinds like in the pentagram ritual right? or no?"
I don't understand the question. In the Rosy Cross ritual, the only words recited (besides the Analysis of the Key-Word if included at the end) are Yeheshua and Yehovasha.

93,
lol, sorry my mistake, i assumed there was more then one blind in the LBRP.
" also, in the rosy cross, atah and malkuth, they arent blinds like in the pentagram ritual right? or no?

no, i just wanted to know if any of the recited words were blinds like AGLA and ARARYTA.
Analysis of the Key-Word at the end? Yeheshua and Yehovasha? please explain.

"You asked about the Rose Cross ritual. That ritual has you reciting Yeheshua eight times and Yehovasha once, and ends with the Analysis of the Key-Word. There are no other words in that ritual.
I'm wondering if you meant something else in your question about the Rose Cross ritual? Otherwise, it's really really hard to miss the reference to those words.
PS - I think I just figured out what you were saying. You said "In the Rosy Cross" when you meant "in the Qabalistic Cross." Is that right? (In that case, forget everything I said about the Rosy Cross ritual.)

i did my first hexagam ritual the other night and second pentagram one . i think its funny that a poor beginner like me didnt even know aout the abbreviations being abbreviations.
the funny thing is although I pronounced AGLA like agla and not Atoh Gibor Le'Olam Adonai at the end of the rituals i still felt very energised and energy was vibrating through my whole body as i lie down. it was quite nice.
i guess it goes to show that magic works even when you do it 'wrong' but i would like to know if there are any other blinds in crowleys rituals its quite annoying. one thinks maybe you could get even better results with the 'proper' vibrating of names.
