The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBR) is a ceremonial ritual in Western Magick that has been practiced since the Golden Dawn of the nineteenth century. It involves banishing any chaotic or impure forms of elements from the magician’s circle by tracing the pentagrams in the air and by the Qabalistic cross. The ritual is said to improve spiritual discipline and expand the aura.
The first part of the LBR is to perform two or three times daily, establishing four pentagrams in the Astral plane. While still facing East, draw a large banishing-earth pentagram with your extended right arm using your right index finger or ritual weapon. Apotropaic magic, or protective magic, is a type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences, such as deflecting misfortune or averting the evil eye.
Ceremonial magic encompasses a wide variety of rituals of magic, characterized by ceremony and numerous requisite accessories to aid in the process. The Quora community generally does not believe in the existence of a God, Devil, angel, or demon.
Another aspect of the LBR is the Sword Banishing Ritual, which involves drawing a large banishing-earth pentagram in the air while still facing East. This ritual is believed to be good for warding off all negative energy and negativity.
Damien Echols, a ceremonial magician, artist, and death row survivor, is known for his work on the New York Times bestseller Life after Death and a new book from the same name.

📹 Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram: Theory and philosophy
My mom practices magick. She has always told me that the reason I suffer from crowd anxiety is because of how perceptive I am to the collective energy around me, but that I’m unable to protect and control my own energy. As a child, that sounded crazy. But, the older I get the more this all makes sense to me. I can’t wait to continue this journey with you. You’re already making a profound impact. Thank you!
Though I realize this article is old, I truly appreciate this indepth information. I’ve done this ritual on and off for years and if I’m not careful, it can become mundane, a habit. Your explanations helped bring it back “alive” for me and helped me see what I’ve over-looked or taken for granted. The phenomenal things this ritual does is true, I just did not pay attention. I’m a new subscriber anyway! Thank you so much 👋🏼
I am glad to hear about the protection quality. I didn’t really understand the full use of this ritual until now when I’m 40. Living in apartments is difficult, I felt these disturbing things from previous tenants and after that I moved in with a lady landlord and was haunted by nightmares telling me to leave. I’m now getting my sense of clarity back for ritual.
100% agree w Damien that the LRPs are deep. I realized the 2nd or 3rd time I was doing the LBRP that it was making the chariot from Ezekiel — I learned later that’s called the Merkabah in Kabbalah. That’s a whole lot more than just a preliminary banishing ritual, like most people seem to think of it.
i am an artist/painter and have been practicing magick in my own way since i was young. I feel I cast and manifest and visualize through my art/drawings/ paintings and images very often. Are there spells or ceremonies like this? (involving art) or if anyone has any general thoughts on the subject. Thank you so much for these articles!!!
Because of TMG I still imagine your fish avatar when you’re talking, especially when I look away or close my eyes. The human brain is a fascinating thing. Thanks for the upload Damien, I agree this is a topic that’s difficult to find accurate info on, and from people with a lot of experience doing it no less. Happy to be here. : )
Mr Echols, you’re such a treasure for newbies, I’m reading your book and even though I’m not a reader but you make the reading experience so smooth and friendly… What you teach is a great foundation for someone who lost all spiritual foundation….I really appreciate that you’re there with the material you let out…. so please.. I really wish you would keep making such articles and books… you said other teachers helped you along the way…as a middle eastern I don’t get access to such teachers but the way you explain things makes me absorb all this sacred knowledge so easily.. so please make books of all you’ve learnt… thank you for being generous and humble.. 🙏
What’s really interesting, as a Vajrayana tantric practitioner perusal your articles, is how very similar what you’re talking about in this and other articles, are to Vajrayana practices. So the whole “feeding the aura” is very similar to la hooking practices in Vajrayana, or visualizing the archangels in the four directions and having to do with the four elements, and invoking those energies being very similar to certain guru yogas and dakini practices in vajrayana. It’s so interesting how similar many practices are throughout different cultures.
It seems that with these explanations, some can take this in a wrong way as in some people thinking of being psychic vampires. What he means when taking outside energies, it being in touch with energies outside of the body whether it be subtle, astral, or esthetic energies you must maintain only keeping to the path of yourself not trying to take from others
It’s crazy how we can find just what we need when we aren’t even looking for it. I walked into my kid’s room one night and she was perusal the Midnight Gospel. I was interested so I started perusal it. I got to the episode where you on and I was like I really like this guys way of explaining magik, and also I was in jail a brief time and also used some magik there. Anyway, so I started googling you and found I watched your movie back a few years ago the West Memphis one. and then I found you on youtube and here we are. Thank you I was searching in the east because the west does not understand. I’m glad there is someone out there to help explain a little bit to the newer people who don’t know what they are doing. I wish I had a better idea when I started but I’m here now. Thank you again!
Hugr is an old Norse term for spirit, thought, and wish, but also for a spiritual power that a human can use for magical deeds, in which hugr flows from that person. It could be compared to consciousness, or thinking as a force. In Norse belief, there was the body, lik, its life force or soul, vördr, a kind of astral body, hamr, which might be comparable to the subconscious or the emotions, the thought power hugr, and the divine spirit, önd, which permeated the universe. And then there is Megin which is an old Norse word for power, which may have some similarities to certain aspects of the life energy, such as qi. The thunder god Thor had a belt, megin gjord (megin belt), that doubled his power when he tightened it.
So glad I came across your website. After 20+ years of studying the Subconscious mind and Nichiren Dishonin’s Buhddism, and Dabbling in the Occult as a teenager, I had a VERY Strong urge to Delve Deeper into Spiritual Sciences During this lockdown time….I recently saw something for the 1st time that I had seen for years, but didn’t pay it much attention…. I live in Philadelphia, and dead smack in the middle of the City is City Hall. In the Center Courtyard on the ground of City Hall is a Giant Zodiac Chart. Philadelphia is Divided on all four sides of City Hall by North, South, East, and West. So you speaking on the Four elemental directions, I take as Confirmation that I’m moving in the right direction….this is a BLESSING….Thank-you…🙏…New Sub.
I have been sticking with LBRP for about 6 months almost everyday learning from your book High Magick. It is nice to watch your article and reinforce the main purpose of the practice. It has been giving me clarity and focus with positive energy. I am so glad to come across your book and your teaching. I can’t thank you enough! I am looking forward to your next article. Have a great day and say hi to Lorri!
Your timing is impeccable. I’m listening to your audiobook and I’ve been stopped where you told me to about a week ago. I’ve been practicing meditation but not the one you taught. I felt like I needed to just get myself back in the groove of meditating regularly again. So I started with what I know. Today I was feeling ready to go back and listen again to the audiobook but I was sorta wishing that you’d do a article on it. And BAM! You did it. Divine timing brother. Thank you. Looking forward to the upcoming articles. Thank you for taking your time, it allows us to do the same. Blessings.
Hello Damian..i have been learning about your life and what you went through an feel inspired to say that what you are doing here is truly a great humanitarian act. I dont have adequate vocabulary to express my gratitude for sharing..teaching and making this accessible to people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to learn these practices on their own. I have longed to understand what high magick is and isn’t. I have wanted this for a long time..but because of church abuse and programming been afraid of condemnation from people and God that this spiritual practice is punishable..dangerous an cause for me to go to hell by just wanting to learn about it..let alone practice this form of spirituality. So thank you for taking the time and energy to get this information into public domain.
I’m very appreciative of this man, thank you so much – I’m a dabbler and have been with magick for some time. Your way of explaining, the tonality of your voice, just you as a person does inspire me to go deeper. You have a great way of explaining this lesser ritual. I’ve been shying away for some time because I never really knew what ultimately this ritual did, I knew it had much more to it and this insightful article gives me that push, that stepping stone in going deeper. Thank you brother. Much love
I subscribed. I wish I could fast forward a bit and get to where I am at which is the Tunnels of Set and how hollywood takes you down these to get looush and hellize ppl. I began GD in 2004. I also have used Enochain and cant wait till you speak of the Sigilliam Dea Ameth. When you were speaking of earth air fire and water my mind went directly to the tables of dee. Great stuff man!
So, This was 2 years ago.. but I don’t know if anyone who is reading/watching this has ever watched Stranger things? the last season when the scene with Max and the song RUNNING UP THAT HILL by Kate Bush? ??? I know that got SUPER popular. I have always been a massive Kate Bush Fan (since the early 80s) and I wanted to point out to any newbie Kate Bush Fans to check out her RED SHOES album and the song LILY? She is singing about the Kabbalistic Cross. LYRICS;; Lily / Lyrics Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe From whom all things proceed To whom all things return Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun Hidden by a disc of golden light That we may know the truth And do our whole duty As we journey to thy sacred feet Well I said Lily, oh lily I don’t feel safe I feel that life has blown a great big hole Through me And she said Child, you must protect yourself You can protect yourself I’ll show you how with fire (Ooh, ooh) Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire I said Lily, oh lily I’m so afraid I fear I am walking in the veil of darkness And she said Child, take what I say With a pinch of salt And protect yourself with fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire Gabriel before me Raphael behind me Michael to my right Uriel on my left side In the circle of fire Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Kate Bush I think she MAY reverse the Angels but I thought that might be of interest to folks both learning this and or have discovered Kate Bush as of Late and haven’t yet reached her Red Shoes album OR this song.
Your amazing! I’ve been enthralled with the LBRP and the middle pillar for many years, and if you go no further, those rituals are the foundation for all western magick and as you so beautifully stated, the crystallization of your aura or light body which transcends death of the physical. But my point is, you are 100% right on and I champion your efforts and am endurance in overcoming tremendous hurdles. I’ve had bipolar for the same duration so I can relate on that level as well. But I mean, these are gateway exercises to opening up to being able to communicate with any celestial daemon you wish. So this should not be taken lightly as it really will transform you.
i’m glad i found this website – although i’m not that into rhp thinking, there’s just so much information out there to get people solid foundations; eg. hermetics, thelema, old alchemy documents are really helpful in understanding how reality works and how symbolism and formulas make up rituals and how they can be modified in a way that if someone changes the “flavour” of the rite, it will have the exact same effect. thank you for these great articles!
What book do you recommend to learn more? fast? I was in a car accident over 15 year ago and suffered brain damage in areas that were responsible for speech and communication. With the help of some amazing people I have regained my ability to blend in again but some things remain different. For instance, words and their involvement with the intended point carries much more importance to me. This all makes so much sense. “flooded with emotions”,” I have a burning fire in me to succeed”, “I am an airhead when it comes to math”, “he/she is a grounded individual”.
I’ve been keeping to a regular practice of the LBRP, though one site I visited to see how it was performed mentioned doing this in the evening and the LIRP in the morning, while the other one just mentioned doing this one but in a couple of different ways. One site was also rather helpful in mentioning how the breathing needs to be done in order to draw in that energy. I suppose now I’ll look forward to seeing Demien do this to demonstrate just how it needs to look and sound.
Damien I’m a spiritual practitioner, I meditate and use pranayama as a yogi, I really feel this will be fantastic for me to learn to perform pre session. Do you think it is something that I can make incredible use of without having a technical majick background.? Your articles are amazing btw, I’ll be joining you on Patreon as you ignited a real passion for witchcraft that’s always been there but never had anyone as relatable and that explains it so clearly. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for your insight. I’ve been exploring mysticism, western esoteric traditions, chaos magick, hermeticism, etc, etc … since 09 It’s murky waters to wade through. Phony Holies, disinformation, misinformation, secret information, conflicting reasons for similar practices, etc. Your articles are such an enlightening piece. Helped make so many parts clear and fit where they weren’t and didn’t before.
Great, clear & consise insight Damien…great! I practiced for years but just lost ambition when other things in life became more demanding & others thought me crazy. I’ll be recreating the temple I once had & grateful for your inspiration…funny shit I was thoroughly obsessed with the HBO docs on your bout with injustice from the beginning (that’s putting it mildly) I find it so gratifying that rose above it, & ironic that we probably started learning at the same time. You’ve reinvigorated me…once again grateful for the inspiration, this is not an easy commitment… especially by yourself in modern American urban existence.
whats so weird is i instinctively as a kid….i used to just know about ‘energy’ and thought my energy was being taken or dissipating so id breathe, mostly in, while visualising a kinda forcefield egg forming around me and even hold my breath in the final stages. i would only breathe when i felt it had formed. also i thought my energy was orange 👁 sooo wild to see confirmation now im older like ???
Thank you Damien, Ive been doing the LBRP for quite some time, unfortunately Ive been slacking with My magick. Your article has inspired me to get back on track. Also that every time someone share their knowledge, like you, I expand my mind. So I thank you for inspiration and expansion. Ps i just finished your book “Life after Death”.. looking forward to more
You have opened my mind up to so much hope and magical possibility. Like some others on this page, the Midnight Gospel introduced me to you and I eagerly await season 2 of this. I am really glad I can learn from you and I can listen to the wisdom that you have gained through the tumultuous life experience you have had to endure. I am humbled and deeply intrigued that you have turned the most terrible situations into peace and love.
Hey Damien, I found out about you years ago through a song called Free the Free by a Christian hardcore band called Zao. It just so happened that I put on the Paradise Lost documentaries not knowing it was about you guys. I watched every minute and followed the story until you were released. Now I find myself at a point in my life where I am practicing ceremonial magick and here you are. This was a great explanation of the ritual and the benefits. I love seeing you doing what you love and that your well. Really great stuff man.
You explained how the aura extends about 50 feet. Each foot of mine is almost 12 inches in length so I ” measured ” out thar distance.. Wow !! So my question is: With repetitive practice, dies LBRP strengthen my aura to where I have a stronger shield of protection or UT LENGTHENS it out further ? Thanks for you time and consideration sir.
Just a little back story and a question….I was listening to mediation frequency music while I was working. I just left a golf course I was working and drove out of the parking lot to shut and lock the gate at the end of the night to close up. Right before I put on the meditation music I was listening to the teachings of Madam Blavatsky. I was visualizing in my mind ” I have the ability to connect with powerful entities” ( I know it sounds weird but I don’t know how else to describe what I was imagining) . While I was closing the gate I heard a voice ( muffled from the mediation music) . I saw a woman peeking out the window of the house next to the golf course driveway, so I took off my head phones and she says to me …..” my spirit animal is a wolf and yours is an eagle”! It startled me from the fact I was imagining what most would consider “out there” and at that moment this woman says something along the lines of weird also. She also says to me ” your related to Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin ” multiple times and I said to her ” maybe so, we’re all related In the big picture”! She said firmly, ” No, not all of us, just you”! . I said maybe so but wasn’t sure”! Side note I feel as if she was a little off psychologically but was very nice to her. I had a very surreal feeling of sinking as she’s talking like I’m in a trance at this moment. She said ” I I prove you are” and I said ” ok, please do”. She replied ” Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin” again. Then asked me for my first name I said ” Thomas” then she asked my middle name only.
I am so glad that I was aligned with this path into the wormhole of YouTube….I mention in another comment I was brought here after episode 3 of ” MG “and after hearing about this ritual I am sure this is where I am suppose to be ! Learning this ritual from you Damien and attentively too 🙂because I have become aware of your journey and it has struck a chord with me and so I respect and am intrigued by your thoughts and because of that I think absorbing this lesson and practising it will have an actual effect. My life is chaotic and it usually has always been off with one foot more in chaos then in order 😉 but after hearing what you’ve said I believe I have too much of the air energy ( always working,moving, anxiety) and my fiancé has too much of the earth energy ( won’t stop acquiring things even junk and his body is in a constant state of pain ). This and then a good cleaning ! Thank you for your time and energy 🙏
So I have a rather advanced/complicated/high level request if you’re up for it. On pages 51 and 52 of the Key of Solomon, it lays out a ritual for an invisibility spell. I was wondering if you would be up for giving it a try? Now, I’m not sure whether it means to say mental invisibility, like The Shadow from the old radio show, or just straight up light waves don’t bounce off you. Either way, it’s nothing to sneeze at if it works, and as much as it sounds like an oxymoron would be something to show for all you tell about magic. Having something to show for what you say lends credence and credibility to your talk, like Wim Hoff and his cold tolerance. Now, I know this is a big ask. The rituals in the Key are nowhere approaching simple. You’ve got to have your calendar in order for the year and do a LOT of backwards planning just to pull one off, and even then the book says if just one thing is off, including the weather, that the ritual won’t work. And even if you read this among all the other comments on here, you don’t owe me nothing. So I would understand if you were to politely turn down this request even if you became aware of it. I know I wouldn’t be up for it, but I wanted to run it past a hard core practitioner like yourself and see what you thought.
Hi I’m new to this been reading and reading attempted a few ritual but was mostly lost l, So I just found your page and Im literally going through all your articles back to back whenever I have time, thank-you so much for the help!!! I have one question is the a difference between the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram and the lesser invoking R P ?
I just researched Hebrew and some prayers listen to this concerning the LBRP (source is wikipedia concerning an the angelic hierarchy). listen to this: Before going to sleep, many Jews recite a traditional prayer naming four archangels, “To my right Michael and to my left Gabriel, in front of me Uriel and behind me Raphael, and over my head God’s Shekhinah (‘the presence of God’) WHAT IF THE LBRP IS WRONG? What if you invoke the angels wrongly? Is that dangerous? Is that like blasphemy or something? Thats just always on my mind, because what if you dmage your soul by doing false rituals over and over and over? or maybe i’m paranoid i dont know
A loooot of comments, so I hope you will see this. I am.. rather solitary. But I came across your articles and I wanted to request that you explain the HGA in depth in one of your next articles to share. I have someone I love very much who is experiencing those higher energies without knowing how to define it or what direction to go. I want to do it myself for her, but I think she takes in information better when it comes from a article. I wanted to message you, to ask, but couldn’t. I hope you know you are appreciated. 93 93 93.
My chart is almost completely devoid of fire (water & air dominant with Virgo moon). I have an 8th house stellium in Scorpio (including the sun) so I’ve never been that concerned – as Scorpio is ‘fiery water’. However, hearing this – I’ve use all my strength for endurance and there is never anything left for forward momentum.. Does any listener, here, who is further down the magickal path – know if the LBRP can atone in any way for this deficiency of fire in my make-up. Many thanks – to anybody who finds time to answer. DE actually answers the question – but anybody’s personal experience would be useful.
let me just go on record as saying you fuckin rule buddy. nobody deserves their “celebrity” more than you do. i was perusal the docs (you know what i’m talking about) i thought to myself “this guy was smart growing up in a stupid environment”. as it happens we not only have alot of the same taste in music but we share alot of spiritual beliefs. i plan on perusal every one of yer vids fer sher.
Hey I was finished doing the LBRP after alot of vibrating the names and at the end of breathing in absorbing energy but I blacked out and fell backwards on the back of my head. I had smoke weed earlier is that why I blacked out? I plan to go sober and I want to do the LBRP but I dont want black out like that again, that wasnt cool and if my furniture wasnt all plastic then I couldnt died hitting that table the way I did. Please respond
The Law of One’s interviewers Illuminated a Path to My Higher Self when they discussed their Magickal Practices 💫 Now you Dear Brother have surfaced on our Path at a time when we essentially must know how to utilize all of the Inner Technology of our Higher Selves 🪄💥 You have ReCalled me back to what I once began as a practice and completely abandoned due to lack of understanding and lack of crisis which is pushing all of Terra towards her Higher Self now 🌍🕊 Namasté Shalom Ho’oponopono Mahalo Nui Loa Thank You 💞
i really need some help to do this. i’m aware i aquire a charge some times when walking past Cell phone masts, i try keep my diet very alkaline which i guess is a contributing factor in the system i believe technology especially electromagnetic is elemental magik in nature when i acquire a charge it can negatively effect my life including being pushed out of social environments and isolated, This is the time of year i dispose the most cos it’s the point i am most vulnerable to the systems attack protocols.
Are you specifically referring to the LBRP (Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram) or the ritual in general (Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram), because one of the main criticisms of the Golden Dawn was that it emphasized banishing more than it was necessary and many have emphasized the importance of a banishing-invoking balance in the practice of this ritual
I’ll be frank, I found you from someone talking crap. It’s funny how a path works. You never know what will lead you to answers. I can tell you that I had to stop going around my dad, cuz he is always lying, complaining, stealing etc. I tried to show him the way. I have spent time in the pen as well, for something I did not do. The noise and energy in there is so toxic. The air and food is too. I didn’t sleep for more than two minutes the entire time I was there. Thanks for this. I grew up with folks with your name in pa. I find that you sharing this is a gift of insight. Thank you sir .💜🌑🕯️
I have been following your guide lines in the High Magick book since Oct. I am now about a week and half away from starting the LBRP. I have a few questions on my practicing. My normal routine is after wake up, I will do Middle pillar and the 3 circulating energy meditations. Then with out clapping, I continue into the Qabalistic cross versions 1 & 2. Before sleep I do the same. Through out the day I will do the 5 basic meditations along with the solar and lunar version two daily, I do version one on my days off of work. I have found that my visualization during meditations is kinda popping in and out. Some days it is hard to keep the mental image going. Is this normal? Or is my mind not ready? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey, I have a question that has been bugging me and I can’t really understand how to act. I live near a cemetery and the energy here is thick. I do the lbrp but still there are spirits that come through and have bad intentions. I get unexplained bites on my skin and whenever I try to communicate I don’t make it far since they tryna confuse me. Whats worse is that many ppl in my area are sick, including my father, from diseases that are cause from their own body like cancers or multiple sclerosis. What do I do? Do I keep on performing the ritual or do I start saging the house down all the time? How to set bondaries?
I really appreciate your articles and energy. I have been noticing in the past few weeks that media really taxes my soul. I mean, I think we all knew that anyway, but really feeling it more intensely. So many YT ‘ers do not breathe through their entire articles and are trying to say and cram so much all at once. I know they are just trying to be at their best and play party to shortening attention spans, but I am so tired. I just want people to be themselves or even just breathe. Breathing is nice. 😂 Anyway, it makes me notice when there are YT’ers that aren’t like that. And you are one of them. Your spirit is very calm and quiet and it is a fresh breath of air ~grounding~ in the online world. Thank you.
Maybe I’m crazy but my entire life if I’ve ever been near someone bad I feel it and it makes me feel sick, I’ve always been right about my feelings and not only that but on several ocassions when I was a kid I felt pain when someone was nearby and it turned out they had surgery, tooth ache, broken bone, etc. I can’t explain it.
I’ve read about your story long ago, how you invoque the angels so you got free. I can’t remember where I read it, but it inspired me. In such a hoples situation you found a way out. So, then some weeks ago a good friend of mine told me to watch midnight gospel, I did and it made me realize some aspects of my inner self I didn’t realize until. Then I discover it was a show made by the adventure time creators (Wich I love) and now I see you are intubar show too (sorry I read my your story but I didn’t remember your name long ago). Is it called sincronicity?
Your point on large auras. A lot of people have probably experienced this in their lifetime – the ability to tell when somebody is staring at them without using their other senses. It’s aura perception. Anecdotal example from my life – A guy sits by me on a train in Oregon. People are looking at him strange, guy seems stressed out. We both nod at each other and we’re the only people in the center of the train. People are looking at him like he’s carrying a plague, but I only sense that he’s hurt and upset. Police step onto the train and arrest him, minutes later we’re told to leave the train at the zoo. There’s crime tape and trails of blood everywhere at the station. Months later I get a call from the police as a follow up, and they asked if I felt the guy was suspicious or seemed to have bad intent. I told them the truth – which is that it felt like the person had “a really bad day.” I found out in the news weeks after my police phone call that the person I sat with was attacked at the Oregon Zoo. The guy was bleeding a lot and at the edge of death, so he fought back with a knife in self defense and accidentally slit his attacker’s throat, ending the aggressor’s life. Instinctively knowing the person “had a bad day” is an understatement. It’s like their thoughts were radiating from their body like a radio broadcast and I was able to tune in and understand the emotions they were feeling.
Dude you fucking rule !! I have been drawing pentagrams my whole life(i thought it was just because I’m a huge metalhead) and this explains why my aura is as powerful as it is without me even knowing i was doing it. Now, with an actual teacher, I can practice it properly and grow even more so. Many thanks and much love Damien !!
Hey mate, I’m a bit confused in regards energy being too contagious. At the level of the hermit ( correct me please if I’m stating the wrong archetype ) at that level one sees through the eyes of other people, through the eyes of children and even perhaps through the eyes of animals since we have become – or at least – experiencing that state for a transitory moment. At that level I asume no ones energy should affect or have an effect on us since we’re All The Energies. For example, if I Am witnessing a “disruptive” behavior in someone else first of all I must already know and be aware that beyond the physical act I Am witnessing, it’s just energy and it’s an illusion created by the mind – my mind in this case – and as we know the mind is the map of reality but not the territory, secondly, if I consider that perception generates a world that reflects it, means that the disruptive episode I Am looking at is me! Considering only I exist and everything I see and experience is but a consciously or unconsciously manifestation of my perception which are based on my beliefs. So how someone else’s energy can affect or have an effect on me when you know that you’re not in the world but the world is in you? Witnessing a disruptive experience is letting me know my thought patterns? In other words the physical world I Am experiencing is a result of my mindset? Or is it a mixture and combination of energies I’ve absorbed? If it is because of the energies I’ve absorbed those energies at some level is me also considering the I AM THAT I AM.
i love your articles i feel I’ve been searching for your wisdom for years and apparently have received broken pieces that’ve been diluted, i guess is a way to say it. i thank you for your time and care putting this out there for myself, and those here with us also interested in your wisdom. my only disappointment (wrong word) is i feel your articles are too short, way too short. and maybe title/categorize them better so i know where to go next. please make them longer and more in-depth. few articles back you said you didn’t want to go on and waste time or something to that effect, but i beg to differ, we need the elaboration of this wisdom, the details, the explanation. regardless i thank you again for your time, consideration and works, i hope this message reaches you and in the right context, please make them longer and more in-depth. Thank you sir, truly
Hey Damien, I want to thank you for the articles you have made i very much enjoy them. I also wanted to ask if there are any books on magic you reccomend? I’ve been reading Franz Bardon Initiation into Hermetics as well as the way of Hermes and the Emerald tablet. I intend on buying your book as soon as it’s back in stock, for my birthday. Thank you for your time and energy much love!
Dude! Great content bro! I look forward to what you have 2 say🤟💫🌛🌟 Seems like you’re the real deal when it comes to this type of esoteric knowledge. Could you please talk about the REAL history of the PENTAGRAM symbol. Where it possibly originated and why the planet Venus, traces it out during it’s orbit around the Sun about every Eight yrs or so? It’s possible connection to Sacred Geometry (if there is one). And what’s its original connection to the planet Venus? I haven’t been able to find any real answers given beyond what’s online. I also think it’s time that people drop the fear and negativity associated w/the Pentagram. It’s a much maligned ancient symbol, that has been historically eviscerated and transmorgrafied through the ages, into a symbol of negativity and hostility – understood as such by lesser minds. Thx! 💫🌛😁🌠🌟
Wow! Just wow! Brother thank you in the time and energy you have given into the making of this article. I stumbled across the LBRP about 3 days ago and I have been practicing and studying any information I can come across. I understand that there is an importance and purpose to every movement, word, pronunciation and thought that needs contribution. May the your wellbeing, life and endeavors be that on only positive. May your loved ones be safe. So mote it be.
What’s the point of banishing all the energy in your surroundings constantly? Isn’t that like living in a bubble? Don’t you want to be exposed to some of these energies and interact with them? I get that’s not the only point of the LBRP, but it IS one aspect of it, so doing it constantly would still result in living in a bubble, right?
Man just observing my immediate bias on hearing a southern accent almost kept me from hearing this compelling stuff you do. The lips to wisdom are sealed to those with closed ears kinda similar thing here it’s tricky i can’t hold all of my judgments; that might be trivial… etc. It doesn’t even feel like it’s my fault either it’s so weird like i waste time in my head either mishearing or not even able to listen for the first few seconds until i tell myself how stupid that is. P.S. Your Voice and accent is very pleasant I am in fact a doofus
First off, thank you SO MUCH for giving out this kind of help to us who are searching for it. After bouncing around my whole life searching for this spirit world i feel like i can almost feel, the second i heard you on midnight gospel I knew I had to devour everything you have to teach. You have such a unique position of all sorts of wisdom, I’m ecstatic to have been able to stumble across it! Anyways, I do have a question… I’ve practiced zen for about 5 years, and so while practicing the LBRP, middle pillar, and qabalistic cross I do most of this all in zazen position on my meditation cushion. I assume this is fine to be using what tools I’ve acquired, as sitting in zazen is obviously a type of middle pillar exercise, but also… i’m incredibly ignorant and don’t know if it’ll interfere or screw up any magickal practices.. 🙂 (i have the book “Modern Magick” to supplement your own, but this zen/magick fusion i’m driven to pursue isn’t something that’s going to pop up there that, once again, you’re uniquely qualified in the entire world to answer) ~ take care
nothing has excited me more or spoken to me on a sub surface level than what i have learned from you in just a half an hour. thank you for starting this journey and filling my heart with a hope that has become foreign to me. your episode on the midnight gospel was so packed with a type of eagerness and focus i havent had since my run with psychedelics. those dont treat me as well anymore but i fee as if the void they have left me is aching to be replaced right now as i find a new means to obtaining a higher level of being thanks to a spark you sent my way. goosebumps.
