The word djinn (djinn is the correct spelling) actually means hidden but what they call themselves as a race, no one really knows. The Arabic people use to believe the djinn were invisible and could not be seen by humans unless the djinn allowed it. Today, according to theoretical physicists, being invisible doesn’t mean you are really invisible but instead in a parallel dimension that is very close to our dimension. We cannot see them but they can observe us and at least some of them can enter our dimension and interact with us.

The Middle East has a very long history (pre-Islam) of experiences with supernatural beings. If something was not angelic and it wasn’t human but something in between, they would classify it as a djinn. This would include all types of entities, fairies, earth spirits and so on. They tried to lump them all into one category but the djinn have a very complex society and each djinn is different just like human beings. Some of these djinn are atheist and some have a religion, some are good, some are bad, some could care less about humans, some don’t like humans at all, and others are fascinated with humans. There’s speculation that maybe the gods of old were really djinn.

In the Middle East people fear the djinn and always have tremendous respect and try not to anger any djinn. In the West, the stories and movies tend to portray the djinn as being relatively harmless and just mischievous but they are taken very serious among the people in the Middle East.

The djinn, being tricksters and master shape shifters, could very easily be masquerading as fairies, UFOs, cryptoids and more in an effort to carry out their hidden agenda with us. They have a lot of demonic traits so when the stories were translated for the West, some were labeled demons but they may not be quite the same thing. What we do know is that they are an entirely separate race.

According to the Koran it says that when God created man from clay, the angels from pure spiritual light and the djinn from smokeless fire, God instructed the angels to prostrate themselves before his new creation. The angels, having no free will, obey without hesitation. But Iblis, the leader of the djinn, considered his kind to be superior to humans and therefore did not prostrate himself. He was a djinni and was among the angels because he had access to that realm at that time. However, since he refused to prostrate himself, Iblis and his kind were then cast out of heaven.

The djinn have until judgment day to redeem themselves though the djinn have taken it upon themselves to tempt the human race to demonstrate how weak they are compared to the djinn. This is of course very similar to the role demons play in our western culture.

What about making wishes come true? Granting wishes comes from King Solomon who had the power to capture and control the djinn and put them in bottles. In order to get their release they would grant wishes to anyone with the power to let them out of their containment. However, it is very strong in folklore that the wishes don’t go well for the human. The first wish is ok. The human really needs to be careful with the second wish because the djinn will try to trick the human. The last wish tends to be used to undo the misfortune brought on by the second wish. These are like wishes with consequences.

So what do the djinn look like? According to the Koran they are made of smokeless fire which sounds a lot like plasma, the state between matter and energy. They can take on different forms and the plasma field they are composed of is probably contained by a magnetic field which can be rearranged.

From the descriptions we know they can take on different forms like the forms of animals, people, and what they like the most is gargoyle looking entities. But they seem to use a lot of energy to keep these states. Many Koran scholars say that when the djinn take on a shape to become more visible they become more vulnerable and can actually be killed quite easily. They also believe the djinn are what the Native Americans call the tricksters because they are notorious for playing tricks on people and twisting reality around. This is especially true of the younger djinn as they tend to be more mischievous than older djinn.

The lifespan of the djinn is very long compared to humans. The Koran says a thousand years but they could live much longer like in the tens of thousands of years.

In the Islamic belief the devil is a djinn by the name of Iblis and he was cast out of paradise with his tribe of a very high order of djinn. The djinn are not mentioned in Christianity but instead they call the devil a fallen angel and label it a demon.

You could say that the archons were created before us, before the earth before biology was manifest.  We are organic beings and they are inorganic beings.  There are two types of archons described in the Gnostic texts, a reptilian type and an embryo type.  Many abductees have described their abductors as having large heads like a fetus or embryo.

According to John Nash there is an account of the archons abducting us found in the text in the Nag Hammadi called 1^st Apocalypse of James.  It says, “They will take away souls by theft.”  Also in this text, it describes these archons as bullies that don’t ask permission to intrude on our reality and concluded that they are predatory by nature.

Legends found in mythology about the fallen angels, the watchers, the Annunaki, were identical to archons. 

If the archons wanted us gone we would be gone.  The reason we have not been annihilated is that they are not more powerful than us nor are they more evolved than us.  The Gnostics say the archons lack our evolutionary drive and are more like cyborgs in that they are more like a robotic race capable of taking orders.  They can mimic but cannot create anything on their own.  The Gnostics say the archons envy us and because of their envy they intrude on our reality in an attempt to overtake us and become like us.  They envy our ability to innovate, that we are goal oriented, that we have the passion to explore where they have only a very robotic capacity.

In the 2nd Apocalypse of James the teacher speaking to his student says, “They will not rule over you.  They do not have dominion over the earth.  They were not your creators.  But they are in the solar system with you and you must face up to their existence.”

The Gnostics felt the archons must be kept in their place and they felt the archons go out of their correct boundaries and intrude.  If ants invade your home they are not in their boundaries.  When the ants stay within their proper boundaries they are our friends.  We share our biosphere with many species and we all must observe our boundaries to live with each other comfortably.

Could it be true that we share our solar system with invisible beings called Archons?  Could they be our antagonizers like the Satan of the Bible who is said to be our adversary?  The fallen angels were said to be jealous of us because God placed humans above angels.

Perhaps the role of these adversaries is to keep us humans on our toes and to help us learn our lessons.  They could be seen as a necessary evil needed to keep us growing and helping us become stronger.  The archons may be like putting weights on the exercise equipment to build stronger muscles.

Recently I was listening to a shaman and anthropologist Hank Wesselman, PHD.  He is one of those rare, cutting edge scientists who truly walks between the worlds.  You can visit his website at http://www.sharedwisdom.com/.  In this talk he read from one of his books about his encounter with a jinni (genie).  Below is Dr. Wesselman’s account of his encounter.

 We were in a room and I was drumming for the group.  I instructed people to go back to a place we had been to already, to reconnect to that place and connect with the spiritual guardians or the spirits that were living in that place to see what we could learn.  So I went back to this shrine (they had been to as a group in Egypt)… I brought up the memory of the shrine in my mind while I’m drumming with my eyes closed and I project my consciousness and awareness back into that shrine using the drum as lift off… This time there were 2 eye balls and since this did not intimidate me, this smoky, vague form took shape in front of me, and it turned out there was a jinni living in this shrine and I had this very interesting conversation with this jinn.  The first thing I did was to trick it into giving me it’s name because once I knew it’s name it couldn’t lie to me.  I asked the jinn if there was anything that it wanted.   In the silence that followed, the image of the carved altar in this shrine came up in my mind’s eye and in response the jinn’s field, it sort of had an energetic field with pastels and greens and yellows and blues.  The answer came almost shyly, “Honey.”  It wanted honey.  I digested this request.  I couldn’t have come up with that in a million years.  I was being watched by this spirit in the same way a cat watches you just before you feed it, with that same intensity that cats have.   And so what I did was use my creative imagination to create a bowl of honey…and as I put the honey on the altar I said, “I will give you this honey if you tell me your name.”  As it took the honey and drank gratefully, the jinn’s name appeared in my mind and then satisfied the jinn turned its attention fully towards me and we had this really interesting conversation.  The jinn opened by saying, “You humans are creators, we the jinn cannot create anything but we can mimic.  We can imitate and we can affect potential outcomes but we cannot create.  Few can perceive us anymore and fewer still can bind us to their will. Now that I have told you my name, you can ask me to serve you and I will.”

This isn’t going on in Arabic or English.  This is all going on in think/feeling.  It’s all going on in nonverbal communication.

I asked the jinn what qualities and abilities it possessed which might be of service to me.  The jinn kind of flickered thoughtfully and then answered, “I can protect you from enemies and I can inflict curses and misfortune on those who oppose you.”  My response was to say that I am constrained within my practice from afflicting harm on anyone for any reason…  “How about healing work” I asked.  “Who can say what is written on another person’s soul.  We cannot purposely influence their destiny without tampering with our agreement.”  “Agreement with whom,” I said.  “With the higher organizing intelligences.”  I asked, “Are the jinn below them in the spiritual hierarchy?”  The jinn responded, “Oh yes. Some of the younger jinn occasionally misbehave and the watchers will approach them and encourage them in more appropriate forms of expression.”  This led me to ask, “Who are the watchers?”  “The ones among the higher intelligences responsible for this world.  We’re not allowed to interfere with the humans on their path.  Although there are some who do as well as those who function as adversaries…”  I asked, “Are those the ones the Gnostics call the archons?”  The jinn’s response was, “Oh so you know about them?  The archons are not true spirits but are mind beings.   They are mental entities.  Many of whom were created by humans as thought forms.  Many of these function as attachments as mental parasites.”  So I asked, “How do they do that?”  The answer was, “They feed on the energy, on the attention paid to them by humans.  This includes the energy generated by human belief systems.  But they are not true spirits and will cease to exist if no one pays attention to them anymore. The ones you call the archons are those that we call the deceivers.  And like us they are not creative.  They can mimic and they can take on forms in response to human belief systems.”  I thought about it at some length and then I asked, “Are they the ones we call aliens or extraterrestrials?”  The jinn didn’t appear to understand the question so I explained.    Its response was more than interesting.  This is what the jinn said, “The deceivers can take on many forms drawing from the belief systems of humans and there are also visitors who come from other places.”  “From other worlds,” I asked?  “Yes.”  “Who are they and why do they come here?”  “They are the others and they come here as visitors.”  “Why do they abduct humans and perform experiments on them.”  “They don’t.  It is the deceivers who do that.”  “The deceivers?  Why do they do that?”  “Humans are greater than the deceivers.  The deceivers you have called the archons, wish to become more like humans but they cannot create, they can only imitate and the only power they have is derived from humans.  Humans have power and the deceivers want that power.”  “Why don’t the watchers as you call them inhibit the archons, the deceivers, from interfering with humans?”  Here’s the answer, “The deceivers are not spirits.  They live in the human mind so the watchers cannot affect them.”  I considered this at some length and then asked some more questions.

“How long will you remain in this shrine?”  Again the jinn did not seem to understand the question so I rephrased it.  “This is my place.”  Then I asked, “If I travel here in my spirit form in my dream body to this place the way I have done right now, will I find you here?”    “Yes.”  “Why do you remain here instead of going someplace else?”  “This is my place.”

 Then I mentioned to this jinn that some years ago I met a jinea, a female jinn, in the desert to the south of where this place was and that she was of service to me in an interesting way and I asked if he know her and he said, “Yes, all the jinn know each other.”  I asked, “Can you tell me her name.”  “No.”  “Can you convey my greetings to her as well as my respect?”  “Yes but you can do that yourself if you have a connection with her.”  “I’ve not felt a connection in many years,” I said.  “Time is not in the spirit world.  All time is now.”  Then I asked, “Do the jinn exist elsewhere in this world beyond the deserts of Egypt and the Middle East.”  “Yes.”  “What are they called?”  “I do not know,” was the answer.  “We are the jinn earth bound spirits.  We live where we wish.”  “Where do the jinn come from?”  “The jinn are manifestations of the great spiritual force that the Gnostics called the Sophia.  Everything that exists on this world exists as manifestations of the Sophia.”  “Who or what is the Sophia?”  “She is the soul of this world.”  “Does she have a physical aspect,” I asked?  “Yes..this world is her physical aspect.”  “Where did the Sophia come from?”  “She came from the center of…” (and the jinn used a strange term to me and in asking for clarification I was given to understand that the Sophia came from the core of our galaxy.  “Is the Sophia a goddess,” I asked?  “I don’t know,” the jinn said.  “She emerged from (used the strange term again) as a river of conscious light.  She dreams and all that she dreams comes into manifestation.” 

Edgar Cayce had laryngitis for almost a year until Edgar had a session with a hypnotist who was able to regress him and was able to get him to talk just fine.  When Edgar returned to consciousness his laryngitis also returned.  It wasn’t until a hypnotist regressed him and then asked Edgar what was wrong with his voice and how to correct it.  Edgar gave instructions on what the hypnotist needed to do to help Edgar correct his ailment and it worked.

This story is really fascinating and you can read it in its entirety at http://www.edgarcayce.org/edgar-cayce2.html.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were in control of your programming.  The media, government, corporation and even religions know how powerful your mind is and many of them seek to control that power for their own reasons.

Advertisers know how to subtly manipulate your interest in their products and they use it without thinking twice.  Have you ever watched a commercial or read an advertisement and actually felt an anxiety of sorts pushing you to buy the product? 

Fear is a very powerful motivator and has been used time-and-time again by governments to gain control of the masses.  Just look at what is happening in Iran and what the Chinese tried in Tiananmen Square.

The general public doesn’t pay attention and is searching for stimulation.  The media is intent on capturing our attention.  In order to do this they must peak an arousal and that raises a level of stimulation.  After a while this stimulation needs to be increased over time because humans adapt to the stimulation and therefore need a greater amount to have the same effect. 

When we pursue the “stuff” being sold to us, what are we really pursuing? We think this “stuff” is necessary to be happy.  Eldon Taylor, author of Mind Programming, says, “If I can sell you fear I can sell you a solution” and “We get people to march in cadence for two reasons, their appetite and their fear.”

Why does the mind act collectively and causing us to follow the crowd like sheep?  We trust our senses but they mislead us as much as tell the truth.  We also trust authority figures so when someone in authority tells us something we tend to believe it without question.  In fact research shows that the part of your brain responsible for making decisions shuts off when an authority figure walks in the room.  We stop thinking and become submissive to the authority figure due to our need to comply to keep consistency.

Now let’s look at harnessing the power of your own mind and taking that power away from the power mongerers.

The first step to controlling your mind is to really know who you are, your weaknesses and your strengths.  A lot of people refuse to look at the darkness inside themselves because they fear the pain so they resist it and they end up playing the blame, shame, victim game.  Others see their darkness but don’t know what to do about it so they put up with it living in self loathing and quiet desperation.

Some occultists call this Shadow Magic or Shadow Work because you are working with the subconscious or the shadow part of you where the dark things about you reside.  Bringing this part of you to the light and embracing it allows you to reunite with your shadow self making you more whole and therefore more powerful.

It’s really only necessary to surface your pain long enough to find out where it is coming from and then process it.  Once you process the uncomfortable feelings caused by beliefs created by trauma, the memory will remain but the emotions will be sufficiently processed and cleared out.  This gives you the freedom to stay conscious to your behavior without the overwhelming feelings provoked by the memory of what happened.

When I start a new client I first have them identify several areas of pain from a table I give them.  The purpose is to surface various areas a person has had emotionally painful experience with.  The number of areas checked off tells me how well the client takes ownership of his or her painful experiences.  If the client only checks a few off this tells me the client is not very conscious and may not be ready to do this work

Once the client identifies their top 3 most painful experiences this helps me know exactly where the client needs to heal.  I don’t have to waste several sessions to find this information out; I can get it in just a few minutes.

After I have worked with the client to help her understand her own ego and recognize her own programming, then we take the top 3 most painful experiences and we go deeper to uncover the beliefs behind those experiences.  We keep working until we get to the beliefs behind the beliefs all the way to the root and then deal with those beliefs.  No sense in dealing with symptoms when you can uproot the beliefs causing the unhappy emotions and situations.

Once you know your programming you can then stay conscious and immediately recognize when your programming is being triggered by someone or some thing outside yourself.

If you would like to receive a copy of the table of painful areas, send me an email and I will send it to you.

Back home, Vanders took to his bed and began to deteriorate. Some weeks later, emaciated and near death, he was admitted to the local hospital, where doctors were unable to find a cause for his symptoms or slow his decline. Only then did his wife tell one of the doctors, Drayton Doherty, of the hex.

Doherty thought long and hard. The next morning, he called Vanders’s family to his bedside. He told them that the previous night he had lured the witch doctor back to the cemetery, where he had choked him against a tree until he explained how the curse worked. The medicine man had, he said, rubbed lizard eggs into Vanders’s stomach, which had hatched inside his body. One reptile remained, which was eating Vanders from the inside out.

Doherty then summoned a nurse who had, by prior arrangement, filled a large syringe with a powerful emetic (a medicine that induces nausea and vomiting). With great ceremony, he inspected the instrument and injected its contents into Vanders’ arm. A few minutes later, Vanders began to gag and vomit uncontrollably. In the midst of it all, unnoticed by everyone in the room, Doherty produced his pièce de résistance - a green lizard he had stashed in his black bag. “Look what has come out of you Vance,” he cried. “The voodoo curse is lifted.”

Vanders did a double take, lurched backwards to the head of the bed, then drifted into a deep sleep. When he woke next day he was alert and ravenous. He quickly regained his strength and was discharged a week later.

The facts of this case from 80 years ago were corroborated by four medical professionals. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that Vanders survived. There are numerous documented instances from many parts of the globe of people dying after being cursed.

With no medical records and no autopsy results, there’s no way to be sure exactly how these people met their end. The common thread in these cases, however, is that a respected figure puts a curse on someone, perhaps by chanting or pointing a bone at them. Soon afterwards, the victim dies, apparently of natural causes.

The above story is a true one and it clearly shows how magic really works. You can read more about the above story at The Science of Voodoo

Your beliefs create your reality regardless of whether your beliefs are true, false, create pain, or are not even relevant to who you are today. Beliefs are a powerful part of your ability to interact in your world. When a person works magic that person is using their beliefs to generate the energy necessary to create what they want in their life.

The above information begs the question about whether a person can be affected by a magician sending out energy, either positive or negative, if the recipient doesn’t know the magician is sending any energy at all.

It all comes back to the belief of the sender and the recipient. See, we are all connected and I can connect with other people energetically but the energy I send out to another person is only as strong as my belief in my ability to connect energetically. Likewise, the recipient will only be affected to the level that he or she’s belief allows it.

A question I get a lot from my students is about protecting oneself from dark magicians. They want to know how strong one has to be to effectively protect oneself from a powerful dark magician. The answer lies in whose will is strongest and your will is only as strong as your beliefs fueling your will.

There are many techniques that work to help you change your subconscious beliefs but they work best when you know the root belief. Before I became a certified spiritual life coach, I thought the beliefs I needed to change to allow more money to flow into my life were beliefs like, “I can’t afford anything I want,” “I can’t ever have more money than I need,” and so on.

What I later found out was that my root beliefs surrounding money were really about how valuable I believed I was and my beliefs about needing to be powerless. Money makes me feel valuable and powerful so my ego would work hard to make sure I didn’t have any more money than what I needed so I would remain powerless and un-valuable.

There are many techniques that teach you how to use the Law of Attraction and how to manifest what you really want along with other techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique and The Sedona Method among others that teach you to change your beliefs. Unfortunately very few of these techniques actually teach you how to get to your root beliefs.

A person who is disciplined can make changes to their beliefs but your ego has kept you asleep for such a long time that it’s near impossible to find the root beliefs without assistance. However, it can be done, it just takes a great deal longer and a lot more effort.

I’m currently working on a book that will help individuals surface and deal with their subconscious beliefs. The book will accompany a teleseminar I’m developing and will soon be available. I hope to make this teleseminar as reasonably priced as possible so more people will have access to this information. I’ll share more on this later.

To start out we need to explore who or what God is. I feel pretty strong that God is a consciousness, the essence of all things. God is the stuff that makes everything real in our world.

We learn from quantum physics that our thoughts create our reality. Essentially, we create ourselves and all of our experiences. If this is true then we are God. This of course does not agree with many religions out there who believe God is a being in the heavens somewhere who created us. There very well could be creator beings who had some hand in creating us but who created them?

God, in its highest form, can be described the same way the quantum field is described. The “field” was not created and it has no end, it is all powerful, it is everywhere… These can all be used to describe God.

Whether God is a separate being or not we still have to come to grips with the fact that we do create our reality through our thoughts. Karl Pribram, as a result of his research, developed the theory that maybe our universe is a hologram or construct of light and is only real when it is perceived to be real. This theory further confirms the quantum physics understanding of our thoughts creating our reality.

Having said all this I would have to conclude that God is us, or better yet, the consciousness that is all things and therefore we need to take responsibility for our own actions and as Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Now if creator beings did have something to do with creating us then maybe we could call on them to help us, much like some people call on angels. I have heard many stories of how a person will show up and help someone in a desperate situation only to disappear into thin air afterwards.

Even if there are creator gods, it still would not absolve us of our responsibility for the messes we have made on this planet. We created the mess and we have the power to clean it up. We have to recognize our oneness with each other and help each other.

As one person heals, that person raises the vibration of the planet making it a little easier for others to heal. If we help each other heal, imagine how quickly we could raise the vibration of the planet. Imagine what raising the vibration to that of peace and love could do to help stop the wars and despair in our world. We have the power to do this but we need stop waiting for a God or some kind of savior to do it for us and do it for ourselves.

The most highly evolved part of our brain is the part that actually gets in the way of our ability to connect to the spirit world. Luckily meditation can be used to quiet this part of the brain allowing you to connect to the spirit world more easily.

The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our social / emotional bonds and in determining what’s important to us. The left side of the brain, the logical side, is more capable of self delusion and deception which makes information from the left side more unreliable. The right side, or the more artistic and emotional side, is more truthful and can be trusted.

It has been noted that we are more psychically in tune with that which matters to us most. Healings and sending intentions to others has been found to be a great deal more effective between those who are familiar with each other and have a positive, emotional connection or bond.

Research has also found that when one objectifies their intention manifesting the intention is quicker. For best results objectify your intention by writing it down and reading it out loud. Doing this brings the intention into the physical world and your subconscious mind sees it as real. If left to float around in your brain it stays in the astral world and the subconscious does not see your intentions as being physical. It is possible to manifest without writing it down and saying it out loud but it slows the process down.

Knowing the above it’s important to remember that to make any changes to your subconscious beliefs you must be in a meditative state and the beliefs must be the root self limiting beliefs you are wanting to change. Most people I talk to tell me what they think are their self limiting beliefs but after talking with them a while they find that what they thought was their self limiting beliefs were only symptoms of their root beliefs.

Once the root beliefs are identified you must then create new beliefs that are in complete opposite to the beliefs you want to change. The best way to change your beliefs is in a meditative state where you feel really good. When you feel good you are in the present moment and in Spirit. When you are in the present moment you are then able to consciously create and make changes to your subconscious mind. If you don’t feel good then you are not in the present moment and therefore are manifesting from your ego and will not be able to make permanent changes to your beliefs.

When your mind is in a meditative state then both sides of your brain are in sync with each other. When both sides of the brain are in sync, it allows the conscious mind to better communicate with the subconscious and therefore you are better able to create permanent changes to the beliefs in your subconscious.

Remember that your subconscious mind cannot be communicated with like humans communicate. The subconscious does not understand past or future nor does it understand slang and it does not make judgments. You have to be very clear when making these changes to subconscious beliefs.

So this article is about what I’ve learned about the Qabbalistic Cross. As always your comments are welcome at www.aurora-dawn.com/blog

Blessings,

——————————————————————————–

Many of the Eastern philosophy and rituals have the practitioner move energy from where they are upward to the heavens. This runs along the lines of wakening the kundalini and moving up to the crown chakra. This is how the East moves towards enlightenment.
In the Western rituals of the magician we find the opposite at work. The magician draws the energy from the heavens down to where he is on the earth. They both accomplish the same end which is raising consciousness through uniting Spirit with the Material.

The Kabbala is an ancient spiritual path that comes from a mystical branch of Judaism and has been adapted to the Western world of magic. Much of what is practiced in modern magic is found in the Golden Dawn and many other groups but this is not the original Kabbala and is therefore called the Qabala or Qabbala. The original Kabbala is very difficult to find and one would need to be a Hebrew scholar to read and understand these writings. This is not a big deal because a ritual that resonates with you is just as powerful as an ancient ritual. Using a ritual is what strengthens the energy you are sending out through your intention and it matters little where the ritual came from.

We have seen the symbol of the cross to mean sacrifice as with Jesus dying on the cross. For this reason the symbol in Christianity has become a central focal point with a meaning of salvation from sin. As I have written previously, the ancient Egyptians defined sin as merely not doing the cleansing work necessary to be in the presence of the gods. The way one knew a person was not doing the “work” or was living in sin was visible signs of aging.
The Qabalistic Cross is a Hermetic ritual that many magicians use as the foundation ritual for other rituals. It is used to align the magician with the divine by bringing energy down from the heavens into the body. This ritual can be used to bring the magician into that place that is not a place at a time that is not a time to prepare the magician for the rituals to follow.

The symbol of the cross is in many traditions symbolizing life, immortality, union of heaven and hearth and the union of spirit and matter. The cross also symbolizes the center of all things. The arms represent the four directions and honoring the four directions is found in many cultures around the world. At the intersection we find this center representing the point where human and divine cross at the heart or center.

To better understand the Qabala one would need to practice its rituals to experience how they effect you. While the cross signifies spiritual transformation by coming in contact with the divine energy found inside one’s self, the Qabalistic Cross is a ritual that can take you there.

The Qabalistic Cross

In the Goden Dawn one is taught to use a steel dagger but you can use your index finger and middle finger extended with the rest of your fingers in a fist.

Rite
1. Stand West of the Altar facing East. Imagine yourself expanding, getting larger and larger. Visualize yourself standing with the Earth beneath your feet (about the size of a soccer ball). Imagine yourself continuing to grow and expand, until you are so large that entire galaxies spin around you. Visualize a ball of white Light, burning like a star, directly above your head. Raise either your Elemental or Planetary Banishing Dagger in your right hand above your head, pointing straight up, and pierce the star with the Dagger. Visualize a shaft of white Light rising vertically from the star above your head to infinity. Vibrate: Ah-TAH

2. Lower the Dagger to the groin area, with the tip still pointing straight up (Israel Regardie taught that one should never point a Magical Dagger downward toward the Earth so instead point the handle of the dagger at the Earth. Others feel the blade points toward where you are directing energy, so if you are directing energy to the Earth, then the tip of the dagger must point that way. In the end, choose the position that works best for you). Vibrate: Mahl-KOOT Visualize a vertical shaft of white Light, descending from the star above your head, to another star beneath your feet, and onward, through the center of the Earth, to infinity.

3. Touch your right shoulder with the point of the Dagger (you should feel the sharp tip), and vibrate: Vih-G’boo-RAAH. Visualize another star shining where the Dagger is touching your shoulder, and a shaft of white Light, extending horizontally to your right, and on to infinity.

4. Touch your left shoulder with the point of the Dagger, and vibrate Vih-G’doo-LAH Visualize another star, at the place where the Dagger is touching your shoulder, and a shaft of Light extending horizontally to your left, to infinity.

5. Bring the Dagger, pointing upward, and between your hands to your heart and vibrate: Lih-Oh-LAHM, Ah-MEN.

The Hebrew words used in this ritual loosely translate to:

Ah-TAH - THOU ART

Mahl-KOOT - THE KINGDOM

Vih-G’boo-RAAH - AND THE POWER

Vih-G’doo-LAH - AND THE GLORY

Lih-Oh-LAHM - FOREVER

If this ritual does not resonate with you, modify it or create your own. It’s important to a have a ritual that centers you and connects you with your divine Self.
