Healing &
Banishing Rituals
Psychic or spiritual healing is a human potential we all possess.
Some people are especially good at this. It is probably easier
to heal someone else by occult means than yourself. In addition
to healing in the presence of the person, there is 'absent
healing' in which the healing occurs at a distance. Note that
there are some who maintain that influence on another person
without his specific knowledge and permission (yes, even in
healing and helping) is black magick. (After all, everybody
is living according to his own true will, so that healing
or helping someone without permission is affecting his will).
This means it is important to tell the person what you are
planning to do and to ask his permission. The theory of psychic
healing is that sickness is characterized (although not necessarily
caused) by a deficiency and imbalance of vital energy. Psychic
healing transfers energy from the healer to the sick to repair
and rebalance his energies.
If an inept healer overdoes the process, or if he doesn't
take the precaution to 'disconnect' himself afterwards, he
may find himself becoming sick due to energy drain and a linkage
to his subject. Similarly, the healer should always be in
a good state of health or he could unintentionally transfer
his illness to the subject.
The basic methods of psychic
healing are:
1) creative visualization, 2) prayer, 3) ritual.
Creative visualization is one of the easiest techniques. Mild
illness may yield to only one or two treatments; serious ills
will require many treatments over time. Psychic healing should
always be combined with medical care and treatment. It does
not replace doctors, medicine, or hospitals, since different
levels (worlds) are involved. In creative visualization, we
visualize the person being well. It may be helpful to utilize
the appropriate color from the aura chart (such as bright
apple-green, rose pink, or white) sent as a beam to the person
or as a cloud surrounding him. This technique can be extended
to include a simple kind of yoga in which we feel energy sent
as we exhale explosively; the energy sent either via the breath
or from one of the chakras such as the solar plexus.
Sometimes in absent healing it is helpful to arrange a time
for treatment in advance, asking your subject to be in a receptive
state of mind and to sit back and close his eyes.
THE BANISHING RITUAL
One of the most basic and useful ceremonial rituals of magick
is called the *banishing ritual*, or lesser ritual of the
pentagram.
A pentagram (or pentacle) is a five-pointed star with the
point up. The banishing ritual is helpful in psychic protection
and healing since it forms a protective barrier against malevolent
forces. The psychic barrier it creates can be made to permit
entry of desired (constructive) forces and the exclusion of
negative ones. Thus, the banishing ritual is an essential
first step in almost any formal full magick ceremony. The
ritual requires that you use a magical implement or "weapon",
such as a ceremonial knife, wand, or simply point your index
finger, to "draw" the
pentagram in the air at each of the cardinal points (four
directions). Also, you will be chanting ('vibrating') some
Hebrew names of God.
Holding your magical weapon
and facing east, extend your arm out straight in front of
you. In this ritual you will use the full sweep of your arm
to draw the pentagram in the air. Follow the description below
by beginning at the lower left and sweeping your magical weapon
up toward the right, etc. as shown. Do not bend your arm at
the wrist or elbow. While you do this, visualize the lines
and eventually the star as vibrant white, floating in the
space before you. You are projecting energy to do this, and
the result will be a gleaming 5-pointed star floating in the
east;
visualize this as vividly as you can. Now you will energize
it further by piercing the center of it with your magical
weapon and vibrating (speaking slowly in a slightly lower
than normal pitch,
remember) "Yod-He-Vau-He".
=============================================
-- DESCRIPTION --
Approximate points on a round clock face --
1. Begin at 7:30 position.
2. Point to 12 oclock position.
3. Point to 4:30 position.
4. Point to 10:30 position.
5. Point to 2:30 position.
6. Return to 7:30 position.]
=============================================
Then turn slowly to the next cardinal point in sequence, and
as you do so, with your arm still extended in front of you,
visualize a white line connecting around to the cardinal point.
Trace a similar pentagram with the appropriate words and following
the same procedure:
South -- Adonai Tzaboath
West -- Eh-Ei-He
North -- Agla.
Now complete the white line drawn back to the center of the
eastern pentagram. Note that the cardinal points must be followed
in a clockwise order, and the pentagram must be drawn in the
manner illustrated; to do otherwise would change the function
of the ritual. The result of all this should be a large bright
white pentagram visualized hanging in mid-air at each of the
four directions, all tied together by a bright white line.
You could now, for example, visualize the pentagrams moving
out to the circumference of your home, thereby protecting
all within.
There is also a somewaht simplified version of this ritual
in which the pentagram is traced only once overhead and then
is energized with one of the four names, such as "Eh-Ei-He".
Oftentimes the simplified version is sufficient, but naturally
the effect of the full version is more complete.
One of the primary uses of
this ritual is to ward off psychic attack -- that is, when
another is (consciously or unconsciously) attempting to harm
you, cause sickness, accidents, bad dreams, emotional upset,
or to force you to do something against your will. Fortunately
this doesn't happen very often. The world of the magician
is fairly safe for the pure of heart. Psychic attack usually
depends upon vulnerabilities. If you are not vulnerable you
are safe. Thus unificaition with the true will is the greatest
protection possible. And the use of the banishing ritual is
never
hurtful. You can even use it to hold off negative aspects
of yourself.
Other forms of protection
sometimes helpful (depending upon one's egregore/model) are
recitation of the 'Lord's Prayer', the 23rd, and 91st Psalms.
