Sample Ritual 1 - Generating Magical Force

Thanks for the reminder. Here it is:
"Ajt yoo-pâh zong om fa-á-eep sald, vee-oo El? Sobam yálperj ee-zâ-zaz pee-ádf; Kas-arma abramg ta talho paráklêda, kwa ta lor-sel-kwa turbz oh-jeh baltoh. Jee-vee kís loozd orree, od meekalp kís bee-ah ózôngon; lap noán trof kors ta jeh, ok maneen Yaí-don. Torzoo, góhe El; zakar, ka, s nók-wod; zamran meekalzo, od ozazm yoo-relp; lap zir Yo-yad."

"Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the word PAOAOAN? Also, is there any recommendations for what we are suppose to visualize while chanting PAOAOAN and the Second Enochian call?"
You're probably having difficulty because it is usually given (erroneously) as Paroian. It is the name of an Enochian being, Briatic in nature, formed by seven letters written backwards (mirror image) on the tablets.
However, the tablets that give that spelling are known to be flawed. They were eventually updated by Raphael, and the letters on the corrected tablets spell the name as Paoaoan.
This archangel-level being has particular value as a gate through the Abyss, i.e., for the access and translation of Supernal energies to a receptacle below the Abyss. One of the specific ways it is used is in the immediate aftermath of the Second Key, when one has made oneself completely receptive to whatever invoked force is present.
On initially recovering the rectified form of the name, I had a fascinating surprise. When Crowley first crossed the Abyss, he tells us, he heard only the unending vibration of the name Pan. If this was a literal report, though - if it was a sound he heard - then might Paaaaaaan have been, in fact... Paoaoan?
No standard visualization for the form is given. The first letter of the name corresponds to Cancer, and thus implicitly to Cheth; and there is something compatible between Paoaoan's function and what is shown in The Chariot. I have always had this angel appear to me in splendidly blinding white.

Thank you for the clarification Jim, your response has been a immense help. Yes, I was getting two spellings for the same name."JAE wrote: On initially recovering the rectified form of the name, I had a fascinating surprise.

FWIW Jim, my first attempt pronouncing the name, it sounded just like Paaaaaaan.

I can work with that. Thanks
The only thing that I was unfamiliar with in the 1st sample ritual was the Enochian. Which leads to the next question. Is there any books on Enochian Magick that you could suggest for a beginner?

Regrettably, no. It's hard to get a good, simple introduction, there is so much turf to cover. For example, the Temple of Thelema formal Enochian instruction consists of six somewhat thick papers issued in the second sub-grade of the Second Order.
Laycock's Complete Enochian Dictionary is a great language reference, and teaches correct pronunciation. (Not necessarily correct chanting, but correct conversational pronunciation.) The last volume of the Denning & Philips Magical Philosopy series gives the bvest introduction to, and structuring of, the Tablets and their hierarchies in print, but be prepared for a lot of work to really understand it. Focus on the tablets, don't get too caught up in the Aethyrs for a while - although, for the Aethyrs, Crowley The Vision & the Voice is the standard visionary work, and I would also recommend my own detailed analysis of those visions in the first 10 issues of Black Pearl.
What I tried to do in the rituals was to present what was needed without one necessarily having to understand the theory behind it. If the Call is read, and the name chanted, the result is produced. That was my "quick-and-dirty" practical introduction.

I don't have time to sit and listen to YouTube and proofread against the printed copy. Sorry. I've given you the phonetic form of it.
A common mistake is overlooking the accents - they are marked in the text.

My bad Jim.
I have never heard the language before, so I thought I should ask."Quote JAE: A common mistake is overlooking the accents - they are marked in the text."
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks. -
93,
I had another question on the vibrated word ADaGiTeLaNuPeReTha. I thought it belonged in this thread.
I understand this is pronounced in the style of the lightning flash, but seems to have 9 syllables. Is there an omission here or is Malkuth silent? "A" above the head "Da and Gi" the temples, "Te and La" the shoulders "Nu" the heart, "Pe and Re" the waist? hips? And "Tha" for genitals and feet?
What about the hands for Pe and Re?
Don't know, looking at it this morning and got kind of confused, please help me out

There are only 9 steps from Kether to Malkuth. It isn't about the number of Sephiroth, but the number of steps from Kether to Malkuth (because, as you noted, it is in the form of the Lightning Flash).
""A" above the head "Da and Gi" the temples, "Te and La" the shoulders "Nu" the heart, "Pe and Re" the waist? hips? And "Tha" for genitals and feet? What about the hands for Pe and Re?"
You're trying to place it at the Sephiroth, but that's not what's going on. Look at the Tree. To trace on the boldy, it would be:
A - From above the head to outside left temple
Da - From outside left temple to outside right temple
Gi - From there to left shoulder
Te - From there to right shoulder
La - From there to heart
Nu - From there to left waist
Pe - From there to right waist
Re - From there to genitals
Tha - From there to between feet -

Very, very powerful stuff!!! Not somehting to be triffled with for sure. As vOrtex666 said "One can get a sun burn in the dark!!!".
I agree w/Jim in that East is definately the anchor as all luminaries/reflectories rise in the East and of course set in the West. My only problem I still deal w/w these types of workings is going from West back to East. It is as if I feel forced to b/whirled back round by Polarization and of course this is what happens in my own field I suppose and is what the discussion b/4 splitting into two subjects starts dealing with if I am recalling most of this forum correctly?L.V.X. x Love x Will = Magnitude.
