Introduction
The rituals in this book have been passed down for almost two centuries. They
have proven to aid our intent of empowerment in the creation of our world as desired.
We will go over several rituals in addition to other modalities of thinking and action
that we implement on a regular basis (whether yearly, monthly, weekly or daily). As
the title says, this is Chaos Magick for everyday use.
Some of these rituals, I have taught to others. However, that involves just a
select few who have attended my classes over the years. Other than that, only those in
my occult group, my immediate family and my magick brethren have learned these
rituals. However, now, I extend this to YOU, my extended M.A.P. (Magick And
Prosperity) family.
Whether you keep this information secret for yourself or will share others is
up to you. We all are aware of the code of the occult to keep things within. However,
as I said many times before in my classes, and in other books - experience teaches.
Documentation expands learning. With learning comes light. And with light comes
the growth of consciousness. This is how one grows with the empowering method that
is Chaos Magick.
When performing magick, it's often very difficult to 'let go' of the need to SEE
the results. I'm sure, also, you've often heard the idea that if you ponder and ponder,
almost lusting for results, they fail. There's some truth to that. The best magick
usually occurs when you are able to 'let go' of the need for results after completing
your ritual. The secret? Dont lust. Just Know.
So, it is indeed wise to 'let go' of the magick after performing these rituals in
this book, or any rituals for that matter. You will be, in a sense, 'getting out of the way'
of the magick. It's almost like you are saying, 'Alright, Universe. Work your magick"
After all, isn't this what it's all about - The Magick Of The Universe.
Now, for those who may have difficulty letting go, there are many ways. One
way is to have complete 100% trust in YOUR magick. Of course, it is understood
that you are performing magick because you REALLY want something. So, of course,
the desire is going to be there. But that's also another part of it. DESIRE IS OK! Yes.
Reread that. It's true.
So, if some time after a ritual - you see yourself thinking about how the result
will come to form - it's Ok! Don't panic. Just comfort yourself in knowing that the
result is coming. And let it go. Don't worry or think about how. Simply know that,
somehow, someway, the magick will show its result in, well - a magickal way.
This is a simple, yet POWERFUL technique. It's simple because it gives you
permission to 'think' about your ritual, without LUSTING for result. At the same time,
you are showing your trust in the result in your affirmation that what you desire will
happen - you don't know how.
So, desire your result. Don't lust. Trust. Know it. Remember,
Knowing is half the magick!
Prior to joining M.A.P, when I was in the regular community for the early
years of my childhood, I was always told that there is no such thing as magick. And if
thinking people go to think tanks, where do skeptics go?
Being ever antagonistic, if I told a skeptic that I cast a magick spell and it
worked, the skeptic would say that I got lucky.
What is luck? Coincidence? Isnt magick also a coincidence? So what
actually makes a coincidence? Context and awareness.
You probably think coincidence is rare because your recognition of
coincidence is sporadic. But, to test the theory, try bibliomancy (although any book
will probably work): close your eyes and ask a question you want answered, open the
Bible, and put your finger randomly, anywhere. The passage will surprisingly be
related to your question, if you abandon that psychic censor and imagine that the
book could actually reply.
What is magick? Simply, its employing an elixir vitae and intellectual
sharpening to achieve a goal, whatever that may be.
Magick is not metaphysical. It can be metaphysical, and that notion definitely
strengthens the elixir vitae and the intellectual sharpening.
Are elixir vitas, or sugar pills, real? Even if you are skeptical, placebos are
continually used in medicine. Its giving a patient a placebo and telling them it is a
wonderful medicine. In fact, any new drug has to outperform placebos in clinical
trials if it hopes to become patented.
Placebo effects are sometimes difficult to beat. They can cure the worst
illnesses. Another pseudomedicine, homeopathy, has no sound scientific support,
but it also works: perhaps its due to the placebo effect?
So, if placebos actually work, imagine what would happen if you could apply
that power to any aspect of your life?
Intellectual sharpening just means planting an anticipated outcome into
someones head. How can this help? If you expect an outcome, you will be more
aware of opportunities that can help you achieve your goal. There is a fine line
between success and failure. This psychological honing can be the boost your
confidence needs.
Let me speak again of MAGICK, not of sugar pills and intellectual
sharpening. Why? Because magick is your employment of sugar pills and
intellectual sharpening to achieve any goal you wish. It doesnt matter what form of
magick you employ, it works!
To ensure success, you must know what you want, believe in the magickal
powers you employ, and disengage your ego through gnosis- as encountered in
meditation, sexual orgasm, exhaustion, rapture from ceremony.
Instead of asking about the veracity of magick, ask yourself why you are not
using it?? It could improve your success if you employ it!
Ritual is considered to be the heart and soul of magick. Magickal results are
the fruits of rituals. When we want to change the circumstances or the environment,
we perform a ritual, a magickal process or ceremony. While we commonly associate
rituals with active magick, rituals also work with passive magick. Many times, the
magickal results sought appear discrete and understated in reality. While skeptics
may chalk it up to coincidence, the effects are genuine. Any objective sought through
magick should never be taken flippantly.
A successful magick practice relies upon having strong belief in its
effectiveness. So, faith must be the most basic ritual. Otherwise stated, the act of
ardently believing the magick will achieve your goals should be a magickal rite in
itself. Fervent belief is no weaker than the most complicated ritual. Improved
concentration, using techniques like creative visualization, vibrant imagination, and
controlled breathing can intensify the results.
Creative Visualization: simply stated, it means that you need to actively
visualize your results if you want to achieve them. Keep the visual as clear and
specific as possible. Imagine that you are physically doing the action. Visualize the
act intensely and vividly, and concentrate profoundly for a few moments; try holding
your breath as you do so. You will feel the craving and energy surging inside you.
All at once, release this power from your mind and visualize it intensifying the desire,
as if filling and coloring a blank picture. Envision all the energy exploding out of you
in every direction out into the universe causing the cosmos to shift in response to the
force of unleashed energy. Exhale while you imagine this to create a physical aspect
to the experience. Become aware of the energy draining out of you. Lastly, complete
the ritual by firmly believing that you achieved your goal, the results are already
tangible, and even say a phrase out loud to commemorate the successful completion
of the task such as So be it! or It is done!
Artificial Elementals
Artificial elementals, called familiars by Ophiel, are useful for certain tasks:
1. Invisible spectator, reporting what it observes
2. Psychic sentinel
3. Healing practices
4. Can provide other assistance as well
You can produce your own artificial elemental, of course. But, as in all
magickal practices, you must firmly believe the task created results regardless of
whether you notice any. You can create these little critters and not be aware of them
(especially if you are not clairvoyant enough to sense their presence). Another fine
practice as you use magick is to never ignore any force you have set forth. You may
sense an elemental even when you may not see it. Caution: Do not use artificial
elementals for any form of aversive magick!! They can be wicked little beasties to
purge. If you should create one by accident, you will have to re-absorb its energy
through your will, or even through exorcism.
The ritual comprises four parts, each part representing one of the four
elements of the ancient world: fire, air, water, and earth. The ritual involves what are
known as the inner Sun and the outer Sun. The outer Sun is the hot, spherical mass
around which the Earth orbits. The inner Sun includes the life-force, the breathing
process, the sense of internal energy that is used to accomplish your personal aims.
Cultivating your inner Sun is necessary before you can fulfill or accomplish your true
Will. The inner Sun is the shining star that lives in each of us. The Sun referred to
in the ritual below is, at times, the inner Sun; at times, the outer Sun; but ultimately it
simultaneously refers to both the inner Sun and the outer Sun.
The first part is the invocation of the power of the Sun. The second part is the
contemplation of the Sun, using the breathing as an anchor for the contemplation (and
possible visualization). The third part is the cultivation of strong positive emotion
directed towards the Sun. The fourth and final part is the utilization of magickal tools
in a ritual empowerment of the Sun.
Invocation can be done by writing your invocatory hymns, or by adopting a
hymn that has already been written and has been read, recited, and contemplated on
for centuries. Start the invocatory hymn about 10 minutes before Sunrise; it might be
a bit dark outside, so bring a flashlight to read the hymn (if you dont have it
memorized). The hymn can be long or short. If short, you might want to chant the
hymn more than once. So, having given the logic behind the invocation (and having
shown how creative you can get when adopting this ritual for your own use), here is
an example of a Solar Chaos magick ritual, inspired by Hellenistic element theory and
Rig Vedic hymnology:
Continue chanting this (once, twice, three times, or even more) until the Moon
rises.
I. Making Whole
The chanter pours wine into a cup, and water into a different cup, and chants
the blessing over the cups:
Joyful are those who have devoted themselves to Wisdom and
Compassion, the Father and Mother of the Cosmos, who make all beings
Whole and who brighten all bodies and minds.
II. Washing I
The chanter drops a pinch of salt into a bowl of water, mixes it, and pours a
some of the salt-water into his/her hand, rubs hands together, and dries hands with
towel. The chanter passes the bowl to the person on his/her right, and that person also
washes his/her hand. The bowl is passed around the circle until everyone has
performed the washing. [The salt and water represent earth and water, the two
grounding elements.]
III. Botanical
The chanter, with a new bowl, drops a pinch of salt into a bowl of water, and
dips a leaf of kale, nettle, or some other bitter green, into the water and eats it. The
bowl is passed around and each participant dips his/her bitter green in it and eats it.
[Living organisms represent the fire element, which here is now added to the earth
and water elements.]
IV. Bread
The chanter takes one of the three portions of bread and breaks it in two. One
piece is returned to the other two portions of bread, and the other piece is set aside on
another tray. [The bread was cooked with yeast, which produces carbon dioxide,
causing the bread to rise during cooking. CO2 represents the air element.]
V. The Altar
At the center of the table, the chanter sets up the altar. The chanter lights a
candle, lights incense, pours water into a cup, and places a small piece of black
obsidian and clear quartz to the right of the cup. When lighting the candle, the chanter
points to the Sun. When lighting the incense, the chanter leads all in three deep inand-out breaths. When pouring the water, the chanter smiles to all participants. When
placing the obsidian and quartz, the chanter taps the table twice with his left hand. For
at least 5 minutes, everyone contemplates the objects, the four elements represented
by those objects, and how those elements can be used to end suffering and bring joy
to all beings.
VIII. Washing II
The chanter and participants wash their hands again, as before: The chanter
drops a pinch of salt into a bowl of water.
IX. The Hymns of Gratefulness
The chanter leads all the participants in the Hymns of Gratefulness:
Joyful are those who have devoted themselves to Wisdom and
Compassion, the Father and Mother of the Cosmos. We are grateful for the
fruits, herbs, and grains; for finned, feathered, and four-footed companions;
the products of millions of years of evolution.
Joyful are those who have devoted themselves to Wisdom and
Compassion, the Father and Mother of the Cosmos. We are grateful for the
bread and the wine, the product of thousands of years of human wisdom,
science, and technology, the ability to combine fire, air, water, and earth.
The chanter chooses one participant, of the opposite gender, who chants:
Joyful are those who have devoted themselves to Wisdom and
Compassion, the Father and Mother of the Cosmos. Let the food we are about
to eat, be food that energizes all of us to embody the Wisdom and Compassion
of the Cosmos, and to empower all living beings in Life, in Light, and in Love.
X. The Meal
The chanter and the participants festively and joyfully enjoy the meal, which
has no set menu. It could be a breakfast, a br/lunch, or a dinner.
XI. The After-Meal
After the meal is finished, the cup of water and the piece of bread that was set
aside earlier is now fed to the non-human (often, a dog) that has been invited to the
meal. The chanter, barely audibly, sings:
Human or non-human, all beings want to be happy. May they be happy!
The human chanter and participants then drink the cup of wine and eat the
bread that was not set aside: The chanter pours a bit of wine in each persons cup; and
the chanter takes a knife and divides the bread into the appropriate number of pieces
(or, if the bread is large enough, the chanter simply breaks off the appropriate number
of pieces).
XII. Closing
The chanter leads everyone in the final chant:
Joyful are those who have devoted themselves to Wisdom and
Compassion, the Father and Mother of the Cosmos, who energize all beings
and who empower all bodies and minds.
Amen
Aum
Take your full name, ideally, as it appears on your birth certificate. As an
example, lets take Edward Alexander Crowley. Adding up the numerical values of
all of the letters (E = 5; d = 4; and so forth), the total numerical value is 105.
Numbers with more than one digit need to be reduced to one digit by adding the
separate digits: 1 + 0 + 5 = 6. Six is the number of sensuality, which happens to fit
Crowley quite well. So, 6 would be the number that represents Crowleys overall
personality. Numerologists would interpret this to mean that the name Edward
Alexander Crowley is the name of someone who appreciates (more than most) the
sensual enjoyments of the world, that the name somehow is associated with an
increase in that persons sensual interests.
However, magick is about accomplishing something new. If you calculate your
person number (given to you by, say, your parents), and you dont like the meaning
associated with that number, then you could change your name to a name that has a
different numerical profile, thus generating a different set of characteristics linked to
your personality. If you see yourself as a successful businessperson, and your birth
names person number is 9, then you might want to change your name to one that has
the person number of 8, or 4.
Edward Alexander Crowley changed his name (for non-numerological
reasons, perhaps) to Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley, when converted
numerologically, becomes 73, which reduces to 10, and then finally to 1, the number
of independence. The idea of independence certain fits Crowleys becoming the
founder of a new religion, Thelema. It would not be a surprise to find that Crowley,
though having mostly non-numerological reasons for changing his name, was also
aware of the numerological change that would result from a name change. The name
Aleister Crowley supported any intention toward independence that Crowley
already possessed and strengthened it further.
A magickal approach to numerology is an approach that might involve
officially changing ones name, or simply informally adopting a new name or some
variation of ones official name. Instead of being known as Robert B. Smith, you
might sign your name Bob B. Smith because you want to cultivate the
numerological qualities of the name variant. You dont have to change your whole
name, either: you could simply change your first name, or middle name, or nickname.
Instead of using your first name Theodore, you might want to use Ted or Theo,
depending upon the magickal intention you have for your life. If you marry someone
else, whether you adopt your spouses last name might depend upon whether you
5. Close your eyes. Mentally and emotionally contemplate the
image of the card in your mind. Try to re-create as much detail as you
can. Try to re-create the feeling that seeing the card produced in you.
6. The Fortune card should produce a feeling of prosperity,
material and spiritual. (If it doesnt do that for you, choose another
card.) As you mentally and emotionally contemplate this feeling, feel
that you are already, at this moment, prosperous and rich, both in terms
of material possessions and spiritual reality.
7. In order to strengthen this feeling of prosperity, play some
music and dance for about 15 minutes, all the while keeping this feeling
of prosperity. Dance intensely, so that you feel really tired after 15
minutes. The music chosen should support, or at least not undermine,
the feeling of prosperity.
8. Return to your meditative position and rest, with open eyes
contemplating the tarot card again, and feeling the sense of prosperity
that Fortune produces.
9. After a few minutes of restful contemplation, close the ritual
by radiating good-will to all beings.
You can also use tarot imagery in support of a particular goal. Which of the
Major Arcana is supportive or consistent with your magickal goal? Is the goal one of
balancing two or more forces (VIII, Adjustment)? Gaining energy (XI,
Strength/Lust)? Improving your intimate relationships (VI, Love)? The Major
Arcanum that supports your intention can be placed in various parts of your home,
car, or altar, where you can be reminded of it throughout the day. Going beyond tarot,
you can also use everyday images of, say, Adjustment, or Strength/Lust, or Love, and
place them in places where they will be seen on a daily basis. For Adjustment,
images of judges, courtrooms, or soldiers would be relevant; for Strength/Lust,
images of lions, fire, or beautiful women; for Love, marriage ceremonies, roses, or
candles.
Lets say that you want to increase your efficiency as a reader, because youre
a student in college. You can incorporate a particular Major Arcanum into your
magickal ritual
1. Establish a meditative and focused position. Breathe in
deeply, and radiate good-will.
2. Light a yellow candle on the altar. (Yellow is associated with
intelligence and wisdom.) Light a green candle on the altar. (Green is
associated with learning and reading.) Affirm out loud:
My ability to read increases day by day. I calmly open the book,
look at the table of contents, and read the introduction, to get the general
argument presented in the book. Closing the book, I write with my own
handwriting the main points presented in the introduction. I havent yet
understood something, until Ive written it in my own handwriting.
After affirming, you contemplate on the affirmation for a few moments,
looking at the burning flames while doing so.
3. Then, shout at the top of your lungs, with as much force,
energy, and intention as possible:
Yah! Yee! Yuu! Yay! Yoh!
Jah! Jee! Juu! Jay! Joh!
[These syllables have millennia of mantric force behind
them.]
Burn incense on the altar. The ideal incense would be lemongrass
(for knowledge) or honeysuckle (for studying); or any other incense whose
scent inspires your intellect. As the incense starts burning, affirm out loud:
As the sweet scent permeates the air, my thirst for knowledge
permeates my body. I remove distractions that distract me from reading.
Silence is my friend; my thoughts are clear and bright. Knowledge is as
sweet as honey, and its aroma is intoxicating.
4. Pour lemongrass tea into the cup. Slowly drink the tea. (Do
not add sugar or anything else.) After you drink all of the tea, affirm out
loud:
My ability to read flows like a river down a hill, until it reaches
the ocean. The river overcomes obstacles, goes around barriers, erodes
mountains. Nothing can prevent it from reaching the ocean of wisdom.
5. Put the Major Arcanum on the altar. For reading and
knowledge, the Arcanum of the Hierophant would be good. Look at the
symbols depicted in this Major Arcanum. The Hierophant is a priestly
figure of wisdom and knowledge, grounded on the earth, while
reaching towards the heavens. As you gaze at the Hierophant, affirm
out loud:
I am a student of knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge allows me
to prosper in the material world. Wisdom allows me to prosper in the
spiritual world. A true Hierophant embodies both knowledge and
wisdom. Reading helps me gather knowledge; wisdom helps me to apply
that knowledge.
So be it!
6. Imagine creating a sigil based on the Major Arcanum image.
For now, just imagine what this sigil would look like. Before you go to
bed, ask your dream-self for input on what such a sigil would look like.
Draw the sigil over the next several days. Eventually, you could use the
sigil, instead of the Major Arcanum image, within your rituals.
7. Sit calmly for a few minutes. Radiate good-will to all, and
exit the magickal space and re-enter the everyday world.
The Full Moon occurs when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.
Astrologically, the Moon is opposing the Sun (that is, at the point opposite that of the
Sun, on astrological chart). Some Hindu calendars have the new month start at the
Full Moon. In Hindu astrology, the Full Moon is the occasion of the full strength of
the Moon; and people born during a Full Moon are believed to have very strong
minds (because in Hindu astrology the Moon represents the mind) or emotions
(according to many Western astrologers). Both the mind, in general, and emotions, in
particular, are connected to the water element, and thus, a Full Moon is good for
doing magick connected to water, to love and compassion, to fertility and growth.
Indeed, the Full Moon, being the height of the Moons power, is a good time for
magick that seeks to provide the greatest power to the accomplishment of a particular
goal. Healing magick would be best done at this time, for instance. The Full Moon is
also a good time for wealth magick: the Goddess Shakti (the Moon) is at Her
strongest, and Shakti represents the abundance of the material world.
The New Moon and the Full Moon are the most powerful of the four major
Moon phases, because they symbolize the height of the powers of the two pure
elements, fire and water, respectively. Fire is purely masculine, or yang, and water
is purely feminine, or yin. The other two major Moon phases, the First Quarter and
the Last Quarter, symbolize air and earth, respectively. Air magick is related to
breathing, to movement, to the intellect; and earth magick is related to material
abundance, finances, and endurance. The First Quarter is connected to growth magick
(wanting something to grow), and the Last Quarter, to decrease magick (wanting
something to decrease).
5. Pour some wine in the cup, and place on the altar, chanting:
The wine, product of the vine, may you be a sign of the fertility of the
land.
6. Still sitting on the ground, touch the ground with your
dominant hands fingers, chanting:
May this ground be the beginning of a well-built home.
7. Continue contemplating and meditating before the fire and
the altar. When you feel you are ready, pour the wine, along with rice
and flower petals into the fire. Exclaim:
So be it!
May all beings be happy!
8. After about 10 minutes, extinguish the fire.
Likewise, if the ritual is to be done as soon as possible, you could utilize
another possible time frame that involves using the 12 houses. Weve already
mentioned the basic meanings of the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses. The other nine
houses are also relevant. Any magickal ritual can be associated with a particular
astrological house. Altogether, the 12 houses entities, and persons associated with
each house can be summarized. The basic meanings of each house (starting from the
1st and ending at the 12th) are: personality; family; courage; home; creativity; enemy;
spouse; gap; fortune; work; goal; and loss, respectively. For a ritual concerning health,
the 6th house is crucial.
The enemy is the main concern of the 6th house. The enemy can be
psychological and self-imposed: fear, worry, anxiety, mental obstacles. It can be
physical: disease, illness, injury. The enemy can be manifest in the form of being too
self-centered, being unable to release concern for your own safety. Being a
perfectionistic is another way of being your own enemy. The enemy can be another
person: a literal enemy, someone who doesnt like who you are or what you do,
perhaps a competitor on the job. People who rob and steal from you, who have very
different ideas about how something should be, people to whom you owe money or
favors, those who imprison you or physically hurt you: all these are also enemies. The
6th house, though, is also how you conquer enemies, how you overcome obstacles,
heal illness and disease, improve yourself, how you serve others unselfishly. Part of
this service is giving charity to the poor, helping the oppressed, finding the lost. The
poor includes animals, including pets. Understandably, the stepmother is connected
to the 6th house, due to the likelihood of the stepmother being an enemy of the
stepchildren. Anatomically, the navel and the gastrointestinal tract, especially the
intestines, are related to this house.
1. When Leo is rising on the horizon, establish your meditative
position and radiate good-will.
2. On the altar, light a candle of golden color. (Gold is the color
of the Sun, which represents health.) Affirm out loud:
The fire of health burns through the last remnants of my illness.
What is not needed is burned away into ash. As the fire of health burns, I
become lighter and lighter, healthier and healthier. I feel the heat of
coursing through my blood vessels.
3. On the altar, burn incense-cedar (for health) or lotus (for
growth and healing, as well as inner peace). As you smell the incense,
say out loud:
My disease does not like the smell of incense. It recedes further
and further into the background, until it disappears. As the incense
enters my nose, goes down the trachea, and into the two lungs, it
prepares to spread throughout the body via the bloodstream.
4. Pour into the cup, some sort of liquid medicine that is
helpful (or at least not harmful) to your condition. The liquid could be
cough medicine, or liquid medicine for cold/flu symptoms, or lemon
juice mixed with water. Consume the liquid, then affirm:
Water helps hydrate the body and increase blood flow. Liquid
medicine is a convenient way of getting the needed medicine into the
body. I visualize the germs symbolically drowning in the liquid. There is
no life-guard to pull them to shore and perform mouth-to-mouth. No one
will throw them a life-saver. At best, I will throw them an anchor.
5. Place an oyster shell and a plate of cooked oysters on the
altar. Affirm:
Zinc, an essential trace element in humans, ultimately comes
from the earth. For humans, eating oysters is the best way to consume
zinc and thus strengthen the immune system. May eating these oysters
bolster my bodys immunology and minimize the frequency of catching
colds and influenza. Lchaim!
So be it!
6. Re-establish yourself in your calm pose and radiate goodwill to all beings.
7. Take the cooked oysters from the altar and into the kitchen.
Eat the oysters.
One way for determining the totemistic planet is via numerology. This method
is quite simple. First, calculate your person number. Lets say your name is Charles
Robert Darwin. Charles calculates to 30. Robert calculates to 33. Darwin
gives us 33. (The fact that the middle name and last name are both 33, which, along
with 11, 22, 44, etc., is a master number is intriguing. But I digress.) Add the three
names together and you come up with 96, which reduces to 15, which reduces to 6.
Six is the number of sensuality, which also includes an emphasis upon matter (as
opposed to spirit). There is no need to go into the connections between the number 6
and evolutionary theory in this essay, but I will say that 6 is connected to the planet
Venus, the planet of the five senses, senses that interact with matter.
In India, Venus is the teacher of the asuras, who (unlike the devas) are focused
on enjoyment of the material world which is not a bad thing necessarily. Its the
enjoyment of the material world that has led, in part, to the development of science
and technology, the study and manipulation of the material world. The planet Venus is
a guru of matter, of science, and of medicine. There is an Asian Indian narrative that
Venus was the supreme physician, because he knew how to cure the ultimate disease,
death. (Charles Darwin initially studied to be a physician.) If modern scientists ever
find a way to indefinitely prolong human life, they might find Venus asking them,
What took you so long?
Another way to find your totemistic planet is to analyze your astrological
birth-chart. If there is a planet in the 1st, 10th, 7th, or 4th house; or a planet that is in its
own sign or in its exaltation sign; or a planet that is at multiple angles to multiple
other planets; then that planet could be your totemistic planet. In others, the most
powerful planet could be your totemistic planet. Of course, incorporating all of these
factors requires that you have a pretty accurate time of birth. For many people, that is
not the case.
Take Charles Robert Darwin, the famous one born on 12 February 1809. No
one recorded the exact time of his birth, even if the general time of day were recorded,
say, early morning or late evening. In such a case, we use what we know, which is
the day; and we use the Moons location. For almost all people in England (as well as
in the U.S.) born on that day, the Moon was in Capricorn (using the sidereal chart).
So, we take the Moon and its sign as basis for the 1st house: the 1st house spans 0
degrees Capricorn to 29.999 degrees Capricorn. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, and so
Saturn becomes a candidate for Darwins totemistic planet.
Interestingly, Saturn is the planet very closely associated with scientists and
physicians, people who in general are conservative in terms of their thinking
processes, patiently demanding concrete evidence before making any tentative
conclusions about their experimental data. Of course, not all scientists and physicians
are like this, but the general practice of science and medicine is based upon a very
saturnine and five-sense-based approach.
Theres another interesting aspect of Darwins Moon-in-1st-house chart. All the
planets finally dispose to the planet Jupiter in the sign Pisces. For Darwins chart, this
means that if you take any planet, look at the sign the planet is in, find the planet that
rules that sign, then find the sign that planet is in, then find that planet that rules that
sign, and so on, you will end up with Jupiter in Pisces. For instance, in Darwins
chart, the Moon is in Capricorn, ruled by Saturn; Saturn is in Scorpio, ruled by Mars;
Mars is in Libra, ruled by Venus; Venus is in Pisces, ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is in
Pisces (which is ruled by Jupiter), so the chain stops with Jupiter. However, Jupiter is
accompanied by Venus, both being in Pisces. Even though Venus does not rule Pisces,
Venus is exalted in Pisces, meaning that Venus is (in general) stronger in Pisces than it
is in the signs it does rule (Taurus and Libra). In fact, it is possible that Venus is the
strongest planet in Darwins chart, since it is the only exalted planet in his chart (and
Jupiter is the only planet that is located in one of its own signs).
So, given his numerological profile, as well as his likely chart, Darwins
totemistic planet might be Venus. However, ultimately, you have to choose your
totemistic planet. No chart or set of numbers can do that for you.
6. On the altar, place a copy of your astrological chart. On top
of each symbol of each planet, place the appropriate colored disk. (You
can create these colored disks on your own, using colored paper or
wood). The gold disk goes on top of the Sun; the silver disk, the Moon;
the red disk, Mars; the green disk, Mercury; the yellow disk, Jupiter;
the white disk, Venus; the blue disk, Saturn; the smoky disk, Rahu; and
the brown disk, Ketu. Affirm:
I honor the Sun, the light of the divine and the destroyer of
darkness!
I honor the Moon, the perfection of devotion!
I honor Mars, the powerful warrior!
I honor Mercury, the communicator of knowledge!
I honor Jupiter, the teacher of the deities!
I honor Venus, the teacher of the daemons!
I honor Saturn, the patient, suffering one!
I honor Rahu, the one of obsessive desire!
I honor Ketu, the desireless renunciate!
O Uma, moving along Your path, Your victorious conquest is
well-known:
Transform us, higher and higher!
We see Your Light, the heavenly Light, and every sort of
Happiness:
Transform us, higher and higher!
Proficient in power, physical, emotional, and intellectual,
O Uma, help us defeat our enemies;
And transform us, higher and higher!
O Uma, heighten our senses, purify our food:
Transform us, higher and higher!
So be it!
Aum! Svaha!
7. Contemplate the chart and the colored disks on the chart.
Remember that the disks, the planets, are movable. The chart does not
define who you really are. It simply symbolizes a set of characteristics
for this life-time, characteristics that are the result of either past-life
Angelic Exorcism
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life comprises 10 Sephirot, or Divine
Emanations. Each Sephira can be linked to deity or angel, as well as to a planet. Thus,
once you have determined your totemistic planet, you can then invoke the associated
angel during normal, everyday life, or as part of a Chaotic magickal ritual. Exorcism
is a very useful type of ritual, so the ritual below is an exorcism that involves
invoking the angel Gabriel, who is associated with Yesod, which is linked to the
Moon. This ritual would be very appropriate for those individuals with the Moon as
their totemistic planet. It would also be best done right at, or right after, the point of
the New Moon, since the aim is to increase the power of the angelic exorcism. (John
Dee explained the name Gabriel as referring to the increasing might of God.) One
of the major obstacles to self-empowerment is the demonic (not to be confused with
daemonic) power of self-hate, and this exorcism, inspired by Dees Enochian
magick and Psalm 68, addresses that.
1. On the altar, place an image of the archangel Gabriel, and
shout:
Yah! Yee! Yuu! Yay! Yoh!
Jah! Jee! Juu! Jay! Joh!
2. On the altar, light a red candle, and shout:
Yah! Yee! Yuu! Yay! Yoh!
Jah! Jee! Juu! Jay! Joh!
3. On the altar, burn basil incense, and shout:
Yah! Yee! Yuu! Yay! Yoh!
Jah! Jee! Juu! Jay! Joh!
4. On the altar, pour some boiling water in the cup, and shout:
Yah! Yee! Yuu! Yay! Yoh!
Jah! Jee! Juu! Jay! Joh!
5. On the altar, place black obsidian, and shout:
O Gabriel, you who ride upon the tides of the ancient heavens,
hurl your mighty spear.
O Gabriel, angel of war, of a terrible and of bloody countenance,
utterly annihilate Self-Scorn, absolutely exterminate Self-Spite, and
totally obliterate Self-Hatred back to the depths of Hell!
7. Turn off the drumming. Contemplate the feeling produced
by the exorcism, and radiate good-will to all beings.
Magick And Prosperity
Well, sometimes the Universe blinks and shows you something that brings
hope, and that's what this book did for me. I'm an old-school guy, have studied
Magick for 40+ years, held high office in the O.T.O., Priest Of Set, and one of the
early members of the "Pact" (I.O.T.) and this book gives me hope.
Most books in this category are regurgitated fluff, copied & pasted by
armchair occultists. It's very obvious to me when I'm reading the work of someone
who prefers to talk about "magick" more than actually *living* it, and while I don't
know the author (at least I don't think I do, as he could very well be Pact and I
wouldn't know his name), but it's not difficult to see he walks the walk. And, at risk of
being repetitive, few writers actually walk that walk.

Magick And Empowerment
I love Oliver Hart's writing still on Magick, paranormal, Wicca and
everything in between. Magick And Empowerment is presented in an easy to
understand way for the beginner, but also proves of great value to the experienced
magickian's bookshelf (or Kindle). The guy really knows his stuff, it's obvious. This is
a must have for any practicing Chaote (or Chaoite)
