Dangers of the LBRP and similar invoking and banishing.
-
Are there any dangers to performing the LBRP, or what I've been doing - the LBRP with a spirit/fire/earth etc invoking pentagram. So it basically becomes the "Lesser Spirit Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram". I don't want to invite unwanted spirits into myself or my home, and I've had a sense that I just might have done that. No major paranormal activity yet, but mysteriously things have been disappearing. Like my cell phone just seems to have vanished. I know this wouldn't normally be attributed to the paranormal. But between that and my quartz crystal disappearing without really taking them out of the house, I just find it bizarre. I've also felt rather uncomfortable lately.

"Spirit" does not refer to "spirits" - quite the contrary. You are not likely to manifest the thing you asre fearing from this technique - except that, if you ARE fearing it, then you're likely to energize it.
When L.V.X. connects, it energizes ALL parts of the psyche, not just the healthy and balanced parts. In fact, that's one of the reasons that balancing of the psyche has always been a significant part of the early phases of work in the best systems.
I don't think you'll encounter any risks with what you propose. The most likely negative consequence is that it will attempt to integrate and fuse together diverse parts of yourself that you haven't yet purified.

Thank you so much, Jim. That's reassuring. I suppose I should focus a bit more on the Middle Pillar Ritual. I know it's not exactly Thelemic, but it should help to balance some of my energies.

It's certainly not UN-Thelemiic.

When you do the LBR too many times close together- i got a certain effect. But it ws ony temporary.
That is the only danger i can think of.

Funny, I've never had any weird effects from LBRP at all, although I do think that invoking individual elements can be interesting, just remember to banish after your work and everything should be fine.
And like Jim said; the fear that you might invoke something nasty will likely have the very effect that you fear.

Is that like saying "After taking too many showers in one day I got a very stark feeling, like I stopped smelling my own stink?"

Or like saying,
"After not eating synthetic preservatives in food for ten years, I got a very stark feeling , like I stopped being so sluggish, lazy, and tired all the time, and stopped aging so fast."
Here's to starkness then, my Friend.
