The first step in forming the Sphere of Protection is to perform either the Elemental Cross Ritual or the Kabalistic Cross Ritual. Magical Golden Dawn recommends you try both and select the one which appeals to you the most. The next step is to simultaneously invoke and banish the Elements starting with Air in the East. We start with Air in the East as a matter of convention. There is, of course, no reason why the ritualist may not start with any direction. There's also no reason not to assign the Element of Air to a different direction at the option of the ritualist. In point of fact, if you already assign the Air Element to another direction, there's no reason why you should not continue to do so. In the Sphere of Protection we invoke the positive aspects of the Element in question and at the same time banish the negative aspects. The positive aspects are those which nourish and enrich the ritualist and others while the negative aspects are those which are considered to be harmful to the ritualist or others. We use the method for invoking the Element and only the invoking procedure. When we charge the symbol in living color we state our intention to invoke the positive aspects we desire and at the same time banish the negative aspects we don't want in our lives. Since we're Invoking and Banishing at the same time, there's no need to close the ritual at any time. In the rituals to follow certain colors are assigned to each Element. While these are the customary colors, they are not universal. The ritualist may already have another color assigned to the Elements or may prefer to use another color. This is a matter of personal choice. In any event, we're going to start with the Element of Air. Invoking and Banishing Air Elements Invoking and Banishing Fire Elements Invoking and Banishing Water Elements Invoking and Banishing Earth Elements Simultaneously Invoking and Banishing the Elements By combining these rituals into one comprehensive ritual of protection we cast the most effective form of protection possible. Having completed the ritual we may now state an over-riding intention for the sphere to protect us for a specific purpose or from a specific evil. The ritual for Protection Against Psychic Attack is one such special purpose for which the Sphere of Protection may be used. We suggest Candidates practice the Sphere of Protection daily for several weeks. That's a good time to study the Candidate's lessons. One other technique you can use is called the Cube of Protection. What you do is create a Sphere of Protection about yourself. Then change the size and shape of that sphere to conform with your workspace. This may be an altar, a room, a building, temple or a large open space. Just expand the Sphere of Protection to conform with the real or imaginary walls of your space and you have a Cube of Protection. Only those with your permission may enter this Cube of Protection. The more powerful you become as a magician, the more powerful this Cube of Protection will become in the physical universe. But in the astral and higher planes your Cube of Protection will keep out anything and anybody you don't allow to enter. That makes the Cube of Protection a very powerful form of protection. Please keep in mind that the study materials for the Candidate form the set of basic knowledge required to advance through the initiations of Magical Golden Dawn. These initiations are very powerful and they will completely change the person you are today. You will advance step by step to become a spiritual adept and everything you want to become and more. |
