You Need To Get This Book, It's Great!

On Friday a package came containing one of my presents, which for some unknown reason was granted to me early, and I hadn't even asked or done anything to soften anyone up, hurrah! It was Abrahadabra by Rodney Orpheus. It's a book about Thelemic magic, and miles better than the book Lon Milo wrote.It goes in order through all the techniques and things you should be learning starting with a chapter on Asana, then the LBRP, Assuming god forms, Liber Resh, Sacred spaces, Invocation, etc. The majority of rituals in the book are the authors own, so instead of the LBRP as known by the golden dawn you have his Nu Sphere ritual. He also includes an amazing consecration ritual involving the thelemic deities and the practitioner assuming the form of Mercury. I've never seen a ceremonial consecration ritual in a book before (Well aside from the key of Solomon, but that involves all manner of stupid things like obtaining the blood of an owl, etc). He also includes this really great mass ritual similar to the Gnostic Mass and Mass of the Phoenix, but not so elaborate or involving the slicing a Phillips screwdriver mark into your chest. It's called the Mass of Baphomet and involves one person assuming the form of baphomet and another person being in charge of performing a banishing ritual (Though you could use it for any deity, and you could do it alone if you liked). The banisher does the LBRP or whatever and the other person assumes the god form, then someone reads a poem or a quote or says something about the deity, then everyone chants something appropriate and builds up energy until the person assuming the god form shouts forth a formula (I can't remember the spelling and can't seem to find it in the book but it was something like Lahstal) and transfers the energy of the god he/she was assuming into the host and wine that lay before them, everyone partakes and the banisher banishes once more. I'd really like to try it out, so if you're interested then give me a shout. There is even a recipe for cakes of light at the back of the book!So yeah, it's a really excellent book and I highly recommend you go and buy it.The LBRP discussion group got me doing the LBRP every day again, and this book has got me doing Asana again and now adding Liber Resh into the frame, and more than likely I'll be assuming god forms by Monday. Ha!
