Simultaneously Invoking and Banishing the Elements

Magical Golden Dawn

Simultaneously Invoking and Banishing the Elements is done by performing the ritual to invoke Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit in that order but with the intention to invoke the positive and banish the negative. We are invoking the positive aspects of the Element in question and at the same time banishing 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 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. The process of charging a symbol involves placing our index finger in the symbol and visualizing the color flowing out of us into the symbol. Charging may be done as aggressively or passively as the magician desires. Since we're Invoking and Banishing at the same time, there's no need to close the ritual at any time.

To review, the steps are:

Invoke the Air Elements in the East

Charge the Air Symbol

State an intention to simultaneously invoke the positive and banish the negative

Draw a line of white light to the South

Invoke the Fire Elements in the South

Charge the Fire Symbol

State an intention to simultaneously invoke the positive and banish the negative

Draw a line of white light to the West

Invoke the Water Elements in the West

Charge the Water Symbol

State an intention to simultaneously invoke the positive and banish the negative

Draw a line of white light to the North

Invoke the Earth Elements in the North

Charge the Earth Symbol

State an intention to simultaneously invoke the positive and banish the negative

Draw a line of white light to the East

Invoke Spirit Above, Below and Within in the East

Charge these symbols

State your spiritual intention

Circulate the Light

The twentieth and final step in this process forms a triple sphere of protection around you. The six primary and secondary colors of the rainbow swirl around you with the connecting white light. This sphere is the Sphere of Protection. We'll discuss that more in the next ritual.

There is no need to close out this ritual as the Elements have all been invoked for good and banished to prevent evil.
