Exorcism and Blessing of Candles

Here is the Roman Catholic blessing of candles via exorcism. This is a nice standard exorcism you can do over any candles you use for ritual purpose. ℣. Our help is in the + name of the Lord.℟. Who made heaven and earth. ℣. The Lord be with you.℟. And with your spirit. ℣.  O candles, I exorcise you in the name of God ✞ the Father Almighty, in the name of Jesus ✞Christ his Son, our Lord, and in the name of the Holy ✞ Spirit.

The Bath of Liber Juratus Honorii

Many of us are aware of the long and elaborate bath used in the Key of Solomon. We do however have reference of a cleansing bath in Liber Juratus which is not as complicated. You will notice at the end there is a place for your petition. This is simply a space to specify what you wish to acomplish with this bath. Something along the lines of seeing the spirits you wish to call, or simply purifying your body and soul. Whatever it may be, you insert it at that placeholder. When this is done, he should eat, and after[…]Read More

Blessing A Home – Roman Rite

The following is the Roman Rite for blessing a home. This is the technique I personally use directly after any spirit conjuration as well as any time I feel the house could benefit from a little spiritual lightening. It pretty much is good house keeping and the more often it is used, the better the results. I’d suggest using it weekly for a month before introducing more space between blessings. God the Father almighty, we fervently implore you for the sake of this home and its occupants and possessions, that you may bless + and sanctify + them, enriching them[…]Read More

A Rose By Any Other Name

A rose by any other name is still a rose, but what about a spirit by any other name? In a recent interview on Inside the Magick Circle, I was asked a question about spirits which seem to have a correlation to each other but have different names. Sometimes these names may be corruptions but there are indeed times we see totally different names all together. The question went on to inquire as to why someone can use one name and have success while another can use a different name and can also have success. I had a direction in[…]Read More

Published in 1559, what might its significance be for those who practice work of the late medieval period, prior to its publication?

Blessing Incense – Roman Rite

This is the Roman Rite for blessing incense. This is my personal choice for blessing it before use. It can be blessed in a large batch prior to any planned use or it can be incorperated into the ritual you are performing at the time. All you need in addition to the incense is holy water. Lord God almighty, before whom the host of angels stands in awe, and renders you a spiritual service glowing with love, be pleased to look with favor on this creature, incense, to bless + and to hallow + it. May all weakness, all infirmity,[…]Read More

The Complicated AF Liber Juratus Circle

Liber Juratus is a pretty intimidating grimoire which contains multiple circles with multiple operations. If you’re actually going through this grimoire you might be uncertain about which circle to use. In order to determine this, we have to confront conflicts and complications brought up through reading the text. So we should take a little time to talk about each one so we can understand what the fuss is all about. Before we get into the weeds, lets set the stage. From a practitioners perspective, Liber Juratus is an intimidating Grimoire. It’s believed to have its origins somewhere between the year[…]Read More

Consecration and the Priest

Historically several Grimoires require priests to perform consecration or pray for the magician. But is it really necessary to find a priest to do these things for you? Before we can answer this, we need to look at the historical lineage of particular texts. For example the Key of Solomon does not appear to require a priest for anything. It has its own way of making holy water and consecrating all of its tools independently. There is however another line of magic which parallels and predates the key that historically depends on priests to do certain things (that is up[…]Read More

Astrological Framework of the Heptameron

The Heptameron appears to have an astrological framework which is in opposition to other contemporary Solomonic pieces like the Hygromantia and Key of Solomon.

The Book of Three Souls – Series

I’m happy to dedicate a small series to the exploration of Liber Trium Animarum, or the Book of Three Souls. This work is found in Summa Sacrae Magicae composed in 1346. The Book of Three Souls is a collection of numbered orations used for a variety of purposes from a standard ritual purification, sprit conjuration, consecration of the nine candarii and more! This series will explore these orations and their many uses. Which foundation being lacking, therefore, which is the marvelous and magical work which you desire, then if we should have dismissed orations entirely, we otherwise would have spoken,[…]Read More

Holy Water – Roman Rite

Holy water is often a requirement in virtually all grimoires. It is used to purify space as well as utilized in the consecration rituals. There are various ways to create holy water, most of which are very complex and unique such as what is found in the key of solomon. A movement within the 15the century saught to simplify much of the trifles of magic and utilized the holy water easily accessable at the churches. This is the rite I use to make my holy water.

The Pentacle of the Heptameron

Let it be a Priests Garment, if it can be: but if cannot be had, let it be of linen, and clean. Then take this Pentacle made in the day and hour of Mercury, the Moon increasing, written in parchment made of a kids skin. But first let there be said over it the Mass of the holy Ghost, and let it be sprinkled with water of baptism. ~Heptameron This shows us the image of the pentacle consists of AGLA and what appears to be a “C” or “O”, ”H” and a small “v” over it along the outside of the pentacle.[…]Read More
