I can't accurately express just how insanely helpful it is to SEE someone performing this ( and pretty much any other) ritual. Reading is only so helpful. Im so so incredibly appreciative of all the work you do for us learning. ❤
Fooshish Fish after reviewing 1000 occult books turned into Merlin and said "It's time to take people to school" LoL... My favorite new occult channel, nuff respect!
@Gen RUclips Wouldn’t it be more prudent to aim “higher” or beyond any past master, tho? And to applaud anyone who seems to accomplish their own work without Crowley’s personal hang ups? I revere the Beast a great deal (as the prophet of the aeon, and the most influential magician of the past 100 or so yrs), but to use him as a benchmark in our modern times is a bit foolish, don’t you think? (no pun intended, heh!)
I have been looking for a channel to find more advance practitioners books and I found Foolish Fish. Been awesome and found books I have never considered. I alwasy felt like all books for for beginners... they all say the same things. I want books that make me think and question and find my own understanding.
just a reminder that the service you provide to those of us learning ceremonial magick is so damn invaluable. I am such a visual and auditory learner that reading the books has just not been super helpful. This, though. This is hella helpful
So I know this vid was posted a while back, but I memorized these instructions out of my head and performed the LBRP for the first time. I had to pronounce everything very softly so that my landlord isn't all like "wtf", but the "vibration" was still there. After I did it, I feel... Different? I felt what would be best described as an adrenaline rush, and I started crying for no reason at all. But not out of sadness, just emotion, happiness and relief? I don't know how to explain it. Also, I have chest pain for some reason. But I'm so proud of myself! Thank you!!!
How lucky are we that we have this info so freely available, and to think how short a time ago this information would have been completely unattainable to most.
Discovered this only now, strangely, but I've been following another great channel, Esoterica, for a while. Check out his channel as well! He does focus a lot less on praxis and a lot more on history, manuscripts, and theorizing about the philosophy and worldview of the people who wrote these manuscripts. ruclips.net/channel/UCoydhtfFSk1fZXNRnkGnneQ
I add the sign of the enterer when I pierce and the sign of silence before moving to the next pentagram to stop any blow back on me. I also explode the six ray star from core in 6 directions out to infinity. As I advanced I started to see hexagrams above and below me. I think it’s wise to advise the practitioner to feel the energy around you. Like a static electric field raising your hair and making your skin tingling. After a year of banishing twice daily your life may of changed. Toxic people leave you, drama is non existent, finances are better. My life changed for the better. More importantly the middle pillar rituals are the most important. The stronger your astral body is the more connected your magick is to your thoughts. Your intentions manifest that much faster.
hello Sir, hope you are doing well. is there any chance you could give me some links / references as to where find the correct way to practice the ritual? you really seem to know what you're doing and I would be grateful to try it as well.
@@tiko545 You should read Kabbalah Magic & the Great Work of Self Transformation: A Complete Course. It breaks down all the rituals in the Golden Dawn and pulls information from other supporting books as well.
@@KateStrongHealer He does not have any video of him preforming it, He describes the ritual step by step on his patreon. I would reccomend you PsychoPomp productions. The creator of that channel has footage of him preforming the ritual more ceremonially, heres a link ruclips.net/video/CoblC3HffDY/видео.html
I have watched many ritual instructional videos though none as good as this! Thank you kindly for your dedication to produce such a clear and concise video
Me stuffing my face while you perform the LBRP: This is not right. Seriously, You are a blessing. Thank you for posting this very detailed explanation. There are many Incomplete and partial versions out there, lots of gatekeeping and plain knowledge stingyness.
I am going to try this outside or away from my bedroom, most spiritual practices I have attempted in my bedroom produce so much energy that it disrupts my sleep! Thanks for sharing
thank you for this presentation. This is the clearest description of the how's and whys of the LBRP. I actually was part of a smallish practice that did its' own variation of the LBRP but it was more of an invoking circle. I remember then learning the LBRP and there were reminders that the LBRP should be done BEFORE our own "Temple" . Understanding what intoning is and moving the energy and visualizing is the more important aspect rather than getting caught up in costume and altars and those are more probably to help visualize than they are having any power into themselves. The power is within YOU. You are being transformed and the energy with working within you and that is the point. Thank you
After a year of so many divine synchronicities leading me to perform me own LBRPs based on your videos I am just so grateful for your thoroughness and devotion!
Thank you for making these videos. The idea of making the magic your own is so important. I have always like a quote attributed to AO Spare, "this is my magic, now show me yours". To many people just want to follow the works as they are written and never think past that. That is not magic. Magic is personal and unique. Magic is in you, and of you. I can no more teach my magic as I can expect a long dead magician to teach me their magic. My magic is self taught, and self created from what is taught
Hey Fish! I have tried your method for the Banishing and Invoking rituals for the past few days, and they feel amazing! I appreciate you posting your method! I have added my own little touches too it, and am very thankful towards you and your channel! ❤❤
One of the best tutorials I watched Not having a lot of space or guaranteed privacy I’m doing it mentally Nice you acknowledged It’s a valid approach I was wondering about that when I found this
Good to see someone who understands that it's not about the bells and whistles, tools and trinkets you wear and surround yourself with, it's how your speak, your intent and the ability to visualize. Most people on RUclips never explain the all important internal processes. Good Stuff.
@LUCIFER STAR ha ha, you're not wrong that sounds horrific, unfortunately for me a vision unfolds in my mind as I read anything, now im scared for life ha ha. Props and tools can assist with getting someone in the zone so to speak, but practice leads to more and more realisation and deeper understanding, which shows you its not a necessity.
This tutorial has inspired me to begin a magickal practice rather than just contemplate a magickal practice like I have been doing for the past 25 years. Thank you!
Just a side note: I've seen that for the most part, Christians who practice magic seem to do so from more of a Gnostic viewpoint. What I personally find very challenging (in a positive sense of that word) and rewarding is doing this from a more "orthodox" understanding of Christianity. I find with your videos in particular, you have found the balance in your instruction to allow for either of those, and more! That is so helpful! To me, "esoteric" truth and "exoteric" truth are both so very important, and don't need to contradict each other. And rather, they seem to support and hold each other up. Your videos help me to do that in my own mind! Thank you again!!
I too am more committed to a more "orthodox" understanding of Christianity (that is to say, trinitarian and christocentric). Even though I was heavily interested in the Neo-Paganism, and other occult and esoteric subjects prior to my conversion to Christ, afterwards I retained an intellectual fascination for ceremonial magic and esotericism, but purely as a non-practicing "armchair magician." I'm not sure what strand of Christianity you're coming from, but coming from a Catholic background, it looks to me like the Qabalistic cross has a long lineage to be found in the everyday piety of pre-modern Christendom. Many of these gestures look like ancient variants of the sign of the Cross, made by Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, Lutherans, and some Methodists. Us modern Christians do it a little bit differently from the Qabalistic cross and usually have some Trinitarian invocation ("In the Name of the Father," etc.) or a "Lord have mercy," but In the modern day most Catholics and Oriental Orthodox use five fingers, for the five wounds of Christ, and they gesture towards forehead, chest, left shoulder and right shoulder. I believe the Assyrian Churches of the East also use five fingers, but they go from right to left. The Eastern Orthodox also go from right to left, but they use three fingers to represent the Trinity, and two fingers down to represent the two natures of Christ. The variant mentioned in the video, however, reminds me of the older method which is only preserved nowadays by the Old Believer Orthodox who broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church during the Nikonian reforms. This method has two fingers up, and three fingers down, the variant mentioned by Foolish Fish. That different variants were used in earlier ages can be seen in the Church Fathers who prescribe using two fingers (like the variant mentioned in video) to represent the two natures, and to go from right to left, a way of making the cross which was actually the traditional and older way of making the sign of the Cross in the Latin West and much of the Greek East. I've compiled here a list of Church Fathers describing the method of the Cross that they're familiar with. TWO FINGERS, LEFT TO RIGHT: Athanasius of Alexandria (269-373 A.D.) , Egypt - "By the signing of the holy and life-giving cross, devils and various scourges are driven away. For it is without price and without cost and praises him who can say it. The holy fathers have, by their words, transmitted to us, and even to the unbelieving heretics, how the two raised fingers and the single hand reveal Christ our God in His dual nature but single substance. The right hand proclaims His immeasurable strength, His sitting on the right hand of the Father, and His coming down unto us from Heaven. Again, by the movement of the hands to our right the enemies of God will be driven out, as the Lord triumphs over the Devil with His unconquerable power, rendering him dismal and weak." TWO FINGERS, RIGHT TO LEFT: Peter of Damascus (12th century), Syria - "Then we should also marvel how demons and various diseases are dispelled by the sign of the precious and life-giving Cross, which all can make without cost or effort. Who can number the panegyrics composed in its honor? The holy fathers have handed down to us the inner significance of this sign, so that we can refute heretics and unbelievers. The two fingers and single hand with which it is made represent the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, and He is thereby acknowledged to exist in two natures and one hypostasis or person. The use of the right hand betokens His infinite power and the fact that He sits at the right hand of the Father. That the sign begins with a downward movement from above signifies His descent to us from heaven. Again, the movement of the hand from the right side to the left drives away our enemies and declares that by His invincible power the Lord overcame the devil, who is on the left side, dark and lacking strength." THREE FINGERS, RIGHT TO LEFT: Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), Rome - "The sign of the cross is made with three fingers, because the signing is done together with the invocation of the Trinity. ...This is how it is done: from above to below, and from the right to the left, because Christ descended from the heavens to the earth..." Catholic culture is filled with stories of people using the sign of the Cross to ward off demons, to purify poisoned cups, to subdue dragons, etc. It's interesting that this instinct is also at work in western ceremonial magic as a form of banishing negativity.
@@johnandrez Thank you for this awesome and full response. I am due back at work right now, so will have to finish reading it later. But I deeply wanted to thank you! You have a very thorough knowledge of Christian history. I myself am Eastern Orthodox (Antiochian). I converted 16 years ago from being a staunch Reformed Baptist (I.e. VERY Calvinistic)! It has been (and still is) a very interesting journey! Perhaps we can discuss further, later. Thanks again!
@@johnandrez I primarily will use the LBRP I conjunction with my Orthodox Prayer rule. Most Orthodox prayers begin with the Trisagion Prayers, which end with the Lord's Prayer (which of course never includes the ending "for Thine is the Kingdom...etc, unless a priest is present who is the one to say those coming lines). I will normally go ahead and add on those concluding lines in English, as I cross myself to conclude the Lord's Prayer. From there I immediately begin the LBRP, beginning with the Kabbalistic Cross (of course in Hebrew now), etc. After the LBRP is completed, (ending again with the Kabalistic Cross), I will then return to complete my prayer rule, which normally also includes 10 to 15 minutes of the hesychast "Jesus Prayer". At the end of whichever prayers I am doing (usually a Canon or an Akathist), I normally will again do the Trisagion Prayers, Lords Prayer, and end with the LIRP. But I'm still so very new at this, so it may change. But I always keep the Orthodox prayers at the center and as the focus, to which the LBRP is added within that context. For me, any and all Magickal practices must be Centered in Trinitarian and Incarnational Truth.
@@artdanks do you know why they don’t say the concluding “for thine is the kingdom etc...” ? I grew up saying that in modern Catholic mass but later converted to pre-Vatican II Catholic mass where they do not include that part. Took some getting used to! I’m not a Catholic anymore, I like to say l, I tried it on but it didn’t fit! interesting that the sign of the cross is used in magick, makes sense. My study of the Q’abbalah brought me here.
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this video lol I’m still finding my own way through this ritual and I found this immensely helpful for the practical aspect, thank you!
That's a great cuckoo clock in the background. I know it's off-topic, but my grandfather used to work on old clocks and he had many cuckoos. Yours is a really nice one.
Thank you for showing one can adjust the ritual that works in a stronger manner. What would come naturally for me would bring me out of the ritual with “Oh No I did that wrong!”
I just want to let you that I’ve only recently started diving into this rabbit hole of woo woo and related literature and I want to just say thank you. But more importantly yesterday while learning about LBRP I was really hoping that you specifically would put out a tutorial video after watching a couple of other people’s. And today it happened! Pretty woo woo in itself. Thanks for always sharing. It’s greatly appreciated on my end dude.
Thank you foolish fish! I first did your version of the kabbalistic cross and lbrp 3 days ago (with mistakes and sticky note prompts 😂) Last night before bed was the first time i did the ritual correctly and had the most vivid dream ever. I dreamt i was in bed and could see an intense, luminescent, bright cross in my body and from that cross arose an angel (mikael probably) , it was the most intense, brightest light ive ever seen and it slowly flew out of me. Wow. It was mind blowing. Thank you so much foolish fish! 😊
You're very welcome! :DI've been doing my version for about three months now. I've completely settled into it, to the point that it really shocks me to see Raphael representing air now. I feel the clearing effects very readily too, and the energising effects of the LIRP are strong.
Foolish you rock! Truly amazing! Thank you. I’m excited to show this to my son and discuss things. Your videos have really given him and I things to discuss that we are both interested in. He shows your videos to his religious studies teacher in school. His teacher is using your videos now. Thank you so much! Many blessings sent your way.
Bit of an update after about 6 months of LBRP I can absolutely confirm that life gets turned upside down. The things that are leaving my life are probably for the best but oooooheee it’s painful! Mr Fish you are spot on!
@@GojiraScorn everything fell apart at work but I had been holding things together that were unsustainable. Subsequently I had a really really rough time…it got worse! But people and things that were not good for me have gone doesn’t mean it isn’t tough but with a lot of work persistence and belief I think it is getting better 🤞
@@martiangentian haha I find this comment again after a year! I’ve started properly practicing again and the same things are happening to me now as well 🥲 I’m happy to hear things got better for you though, gives me a bit of hope as well. Hope you’re in a much better place now!
Very clear with the GD way first and nearly two-thirds of the whole. Have to know the rules to break them (with what makes more sense)! Sword coming out of Michael’s mouth - loved that bit!
Revelation 1:16 : "In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength."
This unknown rutual was just mentioned in the 10/30/20 Session 41: Law of One, Ra Entities. Yours were the second and most studied videos that I implemented. 🙏 Thank you 🔥💖
I've really valued the whole LBRP journey you've taken us on in the videos. I think watching your thoughtful and contemplative deliberation of the ideas and the crafting of value and meaning has been inspirational and possibly more instructive to younger magicians than anything else.
I do this but with the Jewish Kabbalistic correspondences. To my right Michael, left Gavriel, before me Uriel, behind me Refael. Also the elements are East: air, south: water, west: earth, and north: fire. Few other differences (using the expansions of YKVH in the pentagrams, instead of the golden dawn names), but the connection to Divinity is key. Great video
Man I can't tell you how invaluable your videos are. I'm reading so many books but really struggle to soak in information from text. I've gained a lot just from your videos on the tree of life. Just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am.
@Foolish Fish Marvelous work and thank you for the instruction on the LIRP. Realized a slight variation in drawing the pentagram by tracing all the elements from right to left while still turning in a clockwise fashion as one would do for the LBRP. Didn't realize the opportunity with the LIRP to trace the elements in their afforded states. Excellent demonstration and thank you.
This is just an amazing video! I am grateful to have found your channel! After 20 years of performing the LBRP and the LIRP in the GD format, I changed everything some years ago thanks to the GOM and the changes and upgrades were amazing, the concentration of power, presence of the archangels and flow of energy is unique. Nowadays I start the LBRP facing North doing it widderdhins and have Michael at the East with Fire (best results for me after a lot of experiments) and use Metatron above me and Sandalphon below me, then perform the LIRP facing East and doing it deosil also adding Metatron and Sandalphon. I also add the Sword Banishing, I just love that ritual! It focuses me immensely. I love the way you flow and make changes to the status quo, that’s a true delight! Keep going FF! Great video as always!
I must admit, the path takes you where you need to go. I struggled with the patterns of invoking and banishing. I must've started this video and never finished it sadly (hindsight lol). After feeling doubt in my LBRP I saw your video again. Once I clicked on it, it was right where your were showing the steps to banish or invoke the elements the right way. Now after several ripped pages of notebook paper I have a finalized invoking and banishing ritual. No more cloudy doubt. This is coming from a very timid man prone to anger before any other emotion. To perform this is unlike anything I have ever felt in my life. My family has noticed me less hostile in any situation. I'm able to let go of anger rather quickly, than letting it fester like a wound as it has most of life.
Good sir... this is quite a handy, neat... full instruction of the LBRP. Made me banished all the myths and misunderstandings I had with this ritual. I'm gonna have to re-watch this... a lot. 🤔
Amazing. I need to watch this video about 108 times in order to fully integrate. Afterwards I will begin rehearsing in my head then on the altar. I think that is really important because the candles help with the imagery. Thank you sooooooo much.❤❤❤🎉
I want to thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial on the LBRP. This power which is divinity should be available for all and your version makes a lot of sense and seems more simplistic. Thank you man!
My favorite part about this version of the ritual is that the points representing the elements on the pentagrams go in the same order as in the circle (i.e. fire, air, water, earth) depending on if you draw them clockwise or counterclockwise, giving it a fractal nature in that sense.
Nice. I have my own version as I also have Fire in the East, where I turn to face North before calling the archangels, then I call 'before me Uriel, behind me Raphael, to my right Michael and to my left Gabriel', which is the same as the old Jewish prayer. Aside from that it's pretty much the same. Enjoying your channel mate, good work :)
That was really beautiful and thank you so much for sharing that!!! It’s really helpful, and I can appreciate the preparation that went into this. Knowledge and understanding of what you’re doing, memorizing, incantations, setting up the space and obtaining any supplies etc is fundamental. It’s so easy to want to jump straight into doing this without doing the footwork. This is a great reminder on perseverance, dedication, study, and practice. I can actually speak Hebrew and was able to follow and understand what you were saying which was really special to me. I grew up in a household that was a mashup of religion. My mother had converted to Judaism right before I was born so from the time I was at daycare to the time I was 13 I was at a Jewish school learning to speak Hebrew and learning to read and understand the Torah. What I was almost 14 my father who is a Catholic sent me to Catholic boarding school where I learned Latin at took catechism. Thank you, I really appreciated this!
Finally got to watch this. This video is amazing, thank you so much for taking all this time and effort. You have made this really easy to follow and I feel like as I progress I will be revisiting this video over and over.
Thank you for making this ! And I am all for doing these practices without trappings and gear , because the intention and energy that are ultimately important.
I am still taking notes, memorizing the names and routine. I’ll try my first ceremony tomorrow morning. Thank you. I had to rewatch video a few times. I am very new to all this. I am very interested in all the names of the Angels.
Just finished watching this. Not only is it your best video so far, but I have to say it's also the best I've seen on the LBRP!! So very thorough and detailed! A tremendous help. I will most likely stick with the G.D. version of this, but I got a lot out of seeing your own version as well, along with your explanations of why. I like the idea of "personalizing" it. Thank you so VERY much, Denis!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Art, and thanks also for your kind support which I just noticed :) I hope you'll manage to join us on Discord! :)
A new subscriber as of last week. I've spent the last 24hrs watching videos on LBRP. I practiced the sound for first time last night, then did the visualisation while outside today. Then you go and post this! Best explanation and demonstration. I love your channel Denis. Thank you for becoming a trusted font of knowledge.
I'm so glad I found this video. I was getting majorly confused about how I was doing the LBRP the Golden Dawn way because there are so many different ways people do it, but your video helped clear that up immensely and was incredibly informative. I also enjoyed your take on it as well, though I'm not used to east being fire, but it's good either way.
I never fully agreed with the direction/element/color conventions myself. I have a silver tree of life on the east side of my living space and I imagine the wind rustling the leaves and branches of the tree to represent air in my meditations. I definitely like your version of LBRP as I was visualizing your explanation.
I should have found this way sooner but I'm glad I did. Been doing the LBRP for a few months now (I'm new to the occult) and always felt that something is missing. Thank you for putting these kinds of videos it's a really big help for beginners like me.
'I appreciate you sharing your versions of these rituals. As a newbie to performing The Kabbalistic Cross and LBRP I now enjoy seeing other versions. I am versed on much of the correspondences now. Many years ago when I was first introduced to this level of magick, I was very leery of all the versions as I did not have a foundation of all the Archangels or even the TOL and all its correspondences. Now I feel as though I can effectively perform the rituals, I feel that as I progress, even I may make some alterations and not feel as though I am messing up the flow of energy. Thank you
Thank you for for your demonstration.I've been doing the LBRP and the invoking ritual of the pentergram daily for seven weeks and I can feel the effects. I also like to do the LBRP mentally after I've done the physical ritual.
I just wanna say I enjoy your content. I do the LBRP as taught in The Celtic Golden Dawn by JMG. Seems to be the version that resonates with me. Looking forward to your next vid. Much love and respect!
@Elias Macfarland Just a shout out to let you know there are other pagans lurking here with you. The introduction of the Celtic Golden Dawn gives an interesting thumb-nail sketch of the history of the Magickal renaissance a couple of centuries back and points out that modern druidry and all of the Golden Dawn-like movement had more common origins than might appear on the surface. Personally I'm spiritually allergic to the overly structured, stuffy, and court-like Judeo-Christian imagery. It makes my pagan skin crawl, however, I am envious of the rich and prodigious volume of symbols and meaning afforded by that tradition and make use of it more than not.
This is a really informative video. I just got to the point where I am comfortable enough with the lbrp to start making slight variations of my own during the ritual. Thank you for this video!
What I refer to as "my guidance" has recently surprisingly led me to looking into the the knowledge stream and some methods of the Golden Dawn. Some of their methods and practices my guidance has informed me is to be avoided as they are simply not ideal for me or in alignment with my spiritual path while others are to be wholly embraced, learned about, and to be developed into the future. This was a very interesting video. Thank you for your time and efforts in having made it and for sharing. I seem to have landed here onto your channel and will take time to peruse some of your offerings.
I like when you did the sign of the hydra when your hands shoot out and your head wiggles side to side like a snake. That looked cool as hell. Hahahaha 👍
well, now we have a handsome face to match to those handsome hands - btw, I went it to Watkins yesterday and spoke highly of you to Kirsten (guy with white beard and ponytail), and ordered the True Grimoire, which as a neophyte 'black' magician has been a fascinating read. Thank you for everything Mr. Fish (must remember to become a paid member)
Ah! now I'm jealous! XD With all this lockdown business I've not been able to get myself to the UK this year... A trip to Watkins is long overdue! :D Thank you so much for passing on a good word for me, that was very thoughtful of you, it mean a lot! Best wishes to you :)
Regardie used to say, "tie string around a spoon handle so that it hangs like a pendulum and you have two ends to wrap round your fingers and plug your ears with them the sting wrapped on index fingers (i am not joking here ) if you vibrate the names correctly the spoon will chime like a gong ."
@@FoolishFishBooks nah, you do the good work and it is appreciated! I unkindly remember my reading 1-2 books (before the age of RUclips) with reference to intonation of divine names etc, and seeing ADNI and IHVH and realising that there was something kept back, secret from the uninitiate (I have very mixed feelings about this particular approach but that's another story :) ). Thank you for linking this up and closing a more than a decade long loop I had open!
love the information! sending good energy your way! i've purchased and have begun reading most of the books you've reviewed. Exciting times, this is what i've been looking for. I started with dreams and astral traveling and have been trying to align my mind and body with my higher self to improve the connection.
Hey foolish, just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration, after watching your previous videos I started redesigning my LBRP using GDRP techniques from book 4, thelemic God names, and imagery from "the rite of the milk of the stars" on the hermetic library website (highly recommend you've give it a look) , and the quarters as you've described them. I now believe that we're actually meant to change our LBRPs in order to make them work better for us.
East 5:25. Imagine your growing tall above the planet. Also thank you so much for this video I've subscribed, very interesting stuff I have no clue about but been wanting to try rituals/ ceremony type of stuff because of Curiosity mainly.
Great job, this is a very thorough demonstration! I'm sure this will serve as some very helpful instruction for many Neophytes (such as myself). It's a joy to watch these videos and I'm always looking forward to your next one :D
I really appreciate this tutorial and all you do. It finally made it all stick and make sense to me, after searching the internet for months and trying numerous different versions lol. Thank you, love and light. 🖤
Excellent FF! It's good to see the variations in action. Also I'm glad you mentioned a KEY element in all this, which is what goes on internally. The visuals you must employ in order to get any kind of Kinetic/Chi/Prana energy to build up. I think visualization is a surprisingly overlooked aspect in many foundation ritual videos, which is odd because visualization is the foundation of most magick that I've read about. Thanks!
Thanks for the supportive words, @SMQ! I know, right? There not anywhere near as much 'what goes on inside' information out there as would be helpful... That's one thing I do have to hand to Denning and Phillips of the Aurum Solis tradition - they're very thorough at describing the inner experience of ritual. So central, as you say!

Discovered this only now, strangely, but I've been following another great channel, Esoterica, for a while. Check out his channel as well! He does focus a lot less on praxis and a lot more on history, manuscripts, and theorizing about the philosophy and worldview of the people who wrote these manuscripts. ruclips.net/channel/UCoydhtfFSk1fZXNRnkGnneQ
Likewise, I just finished all the Saturday videos, now to the other videos.
I add the sign of the enterer when I pierce and the sign of silence before moving to the next pentagram to stop any blow back on me. I also explode the six ray star from core in 6 directions out to infinity. As I advanced I started to see hexagrams above and below me.
I think it’s wise to advise the practitioner to feel the energy around you. Like a static electric field raising your hair and making your skin tingling.
After a year of banishing twice daily your life may of changed. Toxic people leave you, drama is non existent, finances are better. My life changed for the better.
More importantly the middle pillar rituals are the most important. The stronger your astral body is the more connected your magick is to your thoughts. Your intentions manifest that much faster.
Super helpful in conjunction with the Israel regardie book, thanks so much!!
hello Sir, hope you are doing well. is there any chance you could give me some links / references as to where find the correct way to practice the ritual? you really seem to know what you're doing and I would be grateful to try it as well.
@@tiko545 You should read Kabbalah Magic & the Great Work of Self Transformation: A Complete Course. It breaks down all the rituals in the Golden Dawn and pulls information from other supporting books as well.
Are you fr?
you mean in the invoking version that you included the piercing and sign of silence?
I want you and Damien Echols to do a video chat together about magick, please
both your explanations of the LBRP are amazing, thank you for sharing
Damien's explanations are amazing, has he got a video where he does the motions? Ive only found stuff of his where he talks you through it.
@@KateStrongHealer He does not have any video of him preforming it, He describes the ritual step by step on his patreon. I would reccomend you PsychoPomp productions. The creator of that channel has footage of him preforming the ritual more ceremonially, heres a link ruclips.net/video/CoblC3HffDY/видео.html
@@solidmood2855 hey thanks Peter. I’ll check it out.
Aye! Check out Mike Benjamin lbrp book
Damien Echols is a mage? Wow I bet he learned about that at Varner SuperMax.
I have watched many ritual instructional videos though none as good as this! Thank you kindly for your dedication to produce such a clear and concise video
I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words :) Best wishes to you, Matt!
Thank you for this brilliant tutorial ❤ Just discovered your channel.. and your widdershins version of the LBRP is very appealing ..
Fantastic - I love your temerity at changing it up to suit yourself - does this concern you though as to the efficacy ?
Me stuffing my face while you perform the LBRP: This is not right.
Seriously, You are a blessing. Thank you for posting this very detailed explanation. There are many Incomplete and partial versions out there, lots of gatekeeping and plain knowledge stingyness.
Yeh, that is one reason that armchair magicians are a bit more pudgy than average ;) and watching doesn't accomplish nearly as much as doing...
I am going to try this outside or away from my bedroom, most spiritual practices I have attempted in my bedroom produce so much energy that it disrupts my sleep! Thanks for sharing
thank you for this presentation. This is the clearest description of the how's and whys of the LBRP. I actually was part of a smallish practice that did its' own variation of the LBRP but it was more of an invoking circle. I remember then learning the LBRP and there were reminders that the LBRP should be done BEFORE our own "Temple" . Understanding what intoning is and moving the energy and visualizing is the more important aspect rather than getting caught up in costume and altars and those are more probably to help visualize than they are having any power into themselves. The power is within YOU. You are being transformed and the energy with working within you and that is the point. Thank you
After a year of so many divine synchronicities leading me to perform me own LBRPs based on your videos I am just so grateful for your thoroughness and devotion!
I'm so glad you've found the videos useful!
Your body is a temple " walk around" inside.....meditate on all your extremeties and internal sensations....walk around YOUR temple
Thank you for explaining the LBRP.
Its definitely more accessible than what you read in books.
Still quite daunting.
Thank you for making these videos. The idea of making the magic your own is so important. I have always like a quote attributed to AO Spare, "this is my magic, now show me yours".
To many people just want to follow the works as they are written and never think past that. That is not magic. Magic is personal and unique. Magic is in you, and of you. I can no more teach my magic as I can expect a long dead magician to teach me their magic. My magic is self taught, and self created from what is taught
Hey Fish! I have tried your method for the Banishing and Invoking rituals for the past few days, and they feel amazing! I appreciate you posting your method! I have added my own little touches too it, and am very thankful towards you and your channel! ❤❤
also, congrats on 111k followers haha i love the universe
PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON "THE BANISHING RITUAL OF THE HEXAGRAM" NEXT
All in good time, it's taken me three years to get to making this LBRP tutorial at last XD But it will come, I promise!
@@FoolishFishBooks waiting for it too, but all in good time, i agree
@Blindi what's the sign of the enterer?
@Blindi thanks!
I which book can I find that ritual?
One of the best tutorials
I watched
Not having a lot of space or guaranteed privacy
I’m doing it mentally
Nice you acknowledged
It’s a valid approach
I was wondering about that when I found this
I’ve seen other videos on this and let me tell you this is the best one I’ve seen! So well explained yet simple. Your content keeps getting better 😁✨
Hey, @Cosmic Human! Thanks so much for the kind words as usual :D I hope it ends up being useful to a few ;)
I've spent $500 on books since I've found you! LOL thank u for sharing your journey 🕯️🌄🕯️
Good to see someone who understands that it's not about the bells and whistles, tools and trinkets you wear and surround yourself with, it's how your speak, your intent and the ability to visualize. Most people on RUclips never explain the all important internal processes. Good Stuff.
@LUCIFER STAR ha ha, you're not wrong that sounds horrific, unfortunately for me a vision unfolds in my mind as I read anything, now im scared for life ha ha. Props and tools can assist with getting someone in the zone so to speak, but practice leads to more and more realisation and deeper understanding, which shows you its not a necessity.
This tutorial has inspired me to begin a magickal practice rather than just contemplate a magickal practice like I have been doing for the past 25 years. Thank you!
😄 that's wonderful! Wishing the best of success!
Just a side note: I've seen that for the most part, Christians who practice magic seem to do so from more of a Gnostic viewpoint. What I personally find very challenging (in a positive sense of that word) and rewarding is doing this from a more "orthodox" understanding of Christianity. I find with your videos in particular, you have found the balance in your instruction to allow for either of those, and more! That is so helpful! To me, "esoteric" truth and "exoteric" truth are both so very important, and don't need to contradict each other. And rather, they seem to support and hold each other up. Your videos help me to do that in my own mind! Thank you again!!
Thanks for sticking it. Always liked my Orthodox friends people who fast make good food.
I too am more committed to a more "orthodox" understanding of Christianity (that is to say, trinitarian and christocentric). Even though I was heavily interested in the Neo-Paganism, and other occult and esoteric subjects prior to my conversion to Christ, afterwards I retained an intellectual fascination for ceremonial magic and esotericism, but purely as a non-practicing "armchair magician."
I'm not sure what strand of Christianity you're coming from, but coming from a Catholic background, it looks to me like the Qabalistic cross has a long lineage to be found in the everyday piety of pre-modern Christendom. Many of these gestures look like ancient variants of the sign of the Cross, made by Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Anglicans, Lutherans, and some Methodists. Us modern Christians do it a little bit differently from the Qabalistic cross and usually have some Trinitarian invocation ("In the Name of the Father," etc.) or a "Lord have mercy," but In the modern day most Catholics and Oriental Orthodox use five fingers, for the five wounds of Christ, and they gesture towards forehead, chest, left shoulder and right shoulder. I believe the Assyrian Churches of the East also use five fingers, but they go from right to left. The Eastern Orthodox also go from right to left, but they use three fingers to represent the Trinity, and two fingers down to represent the two natures of Christ.
The variant mentioned in the video, however, reminds me of the older method which is only preserved nowadays by the Old Believer Orthodox who broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church during the Nikonian reforms. This method has two fingers up, and three fingers down, the variant mentioned by Foolish Fish.
That different variants were used in earlier ages can be seen in the Church Fathers who prescribe using two fingers (like the variant mentioned in video) to represent the two natures, and to go from right to left, a way of making the cross which was actually the traditional and older way of making the sign of the Cross in the Latin West and much of the Greek East. I've compiled here a list of Church Fathers describing the method of the Cross that they're familiar with.
TWO FINGERS, LEFT TO RIGHT: Athanasius of Alexandria (269-373 A.D.)
, Egypt - "By the signing of the holy and life-giving cross, devils and various scourges are driven away. For it is without price and without cost and praises him who can say it. The holy fathers have, by their words, transmitted to us, and even to the unbelieving heretics, how the two raised fingers and the single hand reveal Christ our God in His dual nature but single substance. The right hand proclaims His immeasurable strength, His sitting on the right hand of the Father, and His coming down unto us from Heaven. Again, by the movement of the hands to our right the enemies of God will be driven out, as the Lord triumphs over the Devil with His unconquerable power, rendering him dismal and weak."
TWO FINGERS, RIGHT TO LEFT: Peter of Damascus (12th century), Syria - "Then we should also marvel how demons and various diseases are dispelled by the sign of the precious and life-giving Cross, which all can make without cost or effort. Who can number the panegyrics composed in its honor? The holy fathers have handed down to us the inner significance of this sign, so that we can refute heretics and unbelievers. The two fingers and single hand with which it is made represent the Lord Jesus Christ crucified, and He is thereby acknowledged to exist in two natures and one hypostasis or person. The use of the right hand betokens His infinite power and the fact that He sits at the right hand of the Father. That the sign begins with a downward movement from above signifies His descent to us from heaven. Again, the movement of the hand from the right side to the left drives away our enemies and declares that by His invincible power the Lord overcame the devil, who is on the left side, dark and lacking strength."
THREE FINGERS, RIGHT TO LEFT: Pope Innocent III (1198-1216), Rome - "The sign of the cross is made with three fingers, because the signing is done together with the invocation of the Trinity. ...This is how it is done: from above to below, and from the right to the left, because Christ descended from the heavens to the earth..."
Catholic culture is filled with stories of people using the sign of the Cross to ward off demons, to purify poisoned cups, to subdue dragons, etc. It's interesting that this instinct is also at work in western ceremonial magic as a form of banishing negativity.
@@johnandrez Thank you for this awesome and full response. I am due back at work right now, so will have to finish reading it later. But I deeply wanted to thank you! You have a very thorough knowledge of Christian history. I myself am Eastern Orthodox (Antiochian). I converted 16 years ago from being a staunch Reformed Baptist (I.e. VERY Calvinistic)! It has been (and still is) a very interesting journey! Perhaps we can discuss further, later. Thanks again!
@@johnandrez I primarily will use the LBRP I conjunction with my Orthodox Prayer rule. Most Orthodox prayers begin with the Trisagion Prayers, which end with the Lord's Prayer (which of course never includes the ending "for Thine is the Kingdom...etc, unless a priest is present who is the one to say those coming lines). I will normally go ahead and add on those concluding lines in English, as I cross myself to conclude the Lord's Prayer. From there I immediately begin the LBRP, beginning with the Kabbalistic Cross (of course in Hebrew now), etc. After the LBRP is completed, (ending again with the Kabalistic Cross), I will then return to complete my prayer rule, which normally also includes 10 to 15 minutes of the hesychast "Jesus Prayer".
At the end of whichever prayers I am doing (usually a Canon or an Akathist), I normally will again do the Trisagion Prayers, Lords Prayer, and end with the LIRP. But I'm still so very new at this, so it may change. But I always keep the Orthodox prayers at the center and as the focus, to which the LBRP is added within that context. For me, any and all Magickal practices must be Centered in Trinitarian and Incarnational Truth.
@@artdanks do you know why they don’t say the concluding “for thine is the kingdom etc...” ? I grew up saying that in modern Catholic mass but later converted to pre-Vatican II Catholic mass where they do not include that part. Took some getting used to! I’m not a Catholic anymore, I like to say l, I tried it on but it didn’t fit! interesting that the sign of the cross is used in magick, makes sense. My study of the Q’abbalah brought me here.
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this video lol I’m still finding my own way through this ritual and I found this immensely helpful for the practical aspect, thank you!
Back again😂
Just watched about 1/4 of the video and I can say that this was your best video ever 👍
Edit watched it completely and yes I was correct , well done
Thank you from th ebottom of my heart, Deepcore! I appreciate that so much!! :D
Great video again 💜💜💜💜💜
That's a great cuckoo clock in the background. I know it's off-topic, but
my grandfather used to work on old clocks and he had many cuckoos.
Yours is a really nice one.
Cool profile pic!!
@@Linkolite :D
This is outstanding! I can’t wait to see the LIRP and MPR explanation videos! Please do the LIRP next! 🤞🏼😊🙏🏼
Thank you for showing one can adjust the ritual that works in a stronger manner. What would come naturally for me would bring me out of the ritual with “Oh No I did that wrong!”
“I am the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever” amen.
I just want to let you that I’ve only recently started diving into this rabbit hole of woo woo and related literature and I want to just say thank you. But more importantly yesterday while learning about LBRP I was really hoping that you specifically would put out a tutorial video after watching a couple of other people’s. And today it happened! Pretty woo woo in itself. Thanks for always sharing. It’s greatly appreciated on my end dude.
Ah, nice! It's always a pleasure when the Universe conspires to get your back ;p THanks for the kind words, and best wishes to you, @Albert! :)
Thank you foolish fish! I first did your version of the kabbalistic cross and lbrp 3 days ago (with mistakes and sticky note prompts 😂) Last night before bed was the first time i did the ritual correctly and had the most vivid dream ever. I dreamt i was in bed and could see an intense, luminescent, bright cross in my body and from that cross arose an angel (mikael probably) , it was the most intense, brightest light ive ever seen and it slowly flew out of me. Wow. It was mind blowing. Thank you so much foolish fish! 😊
Thank you for brining clarity to this ritual. I have seen and done both versions and not sure which one is more effective.
You're very welcome! :DI've been doing my version for about three months now. I've completely settled into it, to the point that it really shocks me to see Raphael representing air now. I feel the clearing effects very readily too, and the energising effects of the LIRP are strong.
Makes soooo much more sense to banish in widdershins and not deosil. Thank you for this! ♥
Foolish you rock! Truly amazing! Thank you. I’m excited to show this to my son and discuss things. Your videos have really given him and I things to discuss that we are both interested in. He shows your videos to his religious studies teacher in school. His teacher is using your videos now. Thank you so much! Many blessings sent your way.
Bit of an update after about 6 months of LBRP I can absolutely confirm that life gets turned upside down. The things that are leaving my life are probably for the best but oooooheee it’s painful! Mr Fish you are spot on!
Can you elaborate? In what ways did things change?
@@GojiraScorn everything fell apart at work but I had been holding things together that were unsustainable. Subsequently I had a really really rough time…it got worse! But people and things that were not good for me have gone doesn’t mean it isn’t tough but with a lot of work persistence and belief I think it is getting better 🤞
@@GojiraScorn thank you I welcome every well wish! And best wishes for you too 🤗
@@martiangentian haha I find this comment again after a year! I’ve started properly practicing again and the same things are happening to me now as well 🥲 I’m happy to hear things got better for you though, gives me a bit of hope as well. Hope you’re in a much better place now!
@@v-spirituality What happened?
Very clear with the GD way first and nearly two-thirds of the whole. Have to know the rules to break them (with what makes more sense)! Sword coming out of Michael’s mouth - loved that bit!
Revelation 1:16 : "In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength."
😄 thank for watching _again,_ btw!
This unknown rutual was just mentioned in the 10/30/20 Session 41: Law of One, Ra Entities. Yours were the second and most studied videos that I implemented. 🙏 Thank you 🔥💖
I've really valued the whole LBRP journey you've taken us on in the videos. I think watching your thoughtful and contemplative deliberation of the ideas and the crafting of value and meaning has been inspirational and possibly more instructive to younger magicians than anything else.
I do this but with the Jewish Kabbalistic correspondences. To my right Michael, left Gavriel, before me Uriel, behind me Refael. Also the elements are East: air, south: water, west: earth, and north: fire. Few other differences (using the expansions of YKVH in the pentagrams, instead of the golden dawn names), but the connection to Divinity is key. Great video
Man I can't tell you how invaluable your videos are. I'm reading so many books but really struggle to soak in information from text. I've gained a lot just from your videos on the tree of life. Just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am.
@Foolish Fish Marvelous work and thank you for the instruction on the LIRP. Realized a slight variation in drawing the pentagram by tracing all the elements from right to left while still turning in a clockwise fashion as one would do for the LBRP. Didn't realize the opportunity with the LIRP to trace the elements in their afforded states. Excellent demonstration and thank you.
This is just an amazing video! I am grateful to have found your channel!
After 20 years of performing the LBRP and the LIRP in the GD format, I changed everything some years ago thanks to the GOM and the changes and upgrades were amazing, the concentration of power, presence of the archangels and flow of energy is unique. Nowadays I start the LBRP facing North doing it widderdhins and have Michael at the East with Fire (best results for me after a lot of experiments) and use Metatron above me and Sandalphon below me, then perform the LIRP facing East and doing it deosil also adding Metatron and Sandalphon. I also add the Sword Banishing, I just love that ritual! It focuses me immensely.
I love the way you flow and make changes to the status quo, that’s a true delight! Keep going FF! Great video as always!
I must admit, the path takes you where you need to go. I struggled with the patterns of invoking and banishing. I must've started this video and never finished it sadly (hindsight lol). After feeling doubt in my LBRP I saw your video again. Once I clicked on it, it was right where your were showing the steps to banish or invoke the elements the right way. Now after several ripped pages of notebook paper I have a finalized invoking and banishing ritual. No more cloudy doubt.
This is coming from a very timid man prone to anger before any other emotion. To perform this is unlike anything I have ever felt in my life. My family has noticed me less hostile in any situation. I'm able to let go of anger rather quickly, than letting it fester like a wound as it has most of life.
Good sir... this is quite a handy, neat... full instruction of the LBRP.
Made me banished all the myths and misunderstandings I had with this ritual.
I'm gonna have to re-watch this... a lot. 🤔
Amazing. I need to watch this video about 108 times in order to fully integrate. Afterwards I will begin rehearsing in my head then on the altar. I think that is really important because the candles help with the imagery. Thank you sooooooo much.❤❤❤🎉
I want to thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial on the LBRP. This power which is divinity should be available for all and your version makes a lot of sense and seems more simplistic. Thank you man!
You're very welcome 😄 what a kind comment 😊🙏
My favorite part about this version of the ritual is that the points representing the elements on the pentagrams go in the same order as in the circle (i.e. fire, air, water, earth) depending on if you draw them clockwise or counterclockwise, giving it a fractal nature in that sense.
I just tried it for the first time, 3 times in a row. I'm excited, I burped afterwards, maybe it balanced my energies and the burp is the first result
Have you experience anything? Ive been doing it for 2 weeks and nothing has hapenned :(
I too intuitively changed the elemental correspondences. Oppositions made it more powerful.
Nice. I have my own version as I also have Fire in the East, where I turn to face North before calling the archangels, then I call 'before me Uriel, behind me Raphael, to my right Michael and to my left Gabriel', which is the same as the old Jewish prayer. Aside from that it's pretty much the same. Enjoying your channel mate, good work :)
One of the best presentations of the Banishing Ritual of the Pentergram i have seen online.
Thank you Foolish Fish for uploading such informative video
Thank you kindly @Foolishfish. You are a great help. Blessed be.

Ah even better! Such a valuable video for us beginners. Thanks again FF.
😁👌 Thanks for taking the time to watch again!
@@FoolishFishBooks Worth it!
That was really beautiful and thank you so much for sharing that!!! It’s really helpful, and I can appreciate the preparation that went into this. Knowledge and understanding of what you’re doing, memorizing, incantations, setting up the space and obtaining any supplies etc is fundamental. It’s so easy to want to jump straight into doing this without doing the footwork. This is a great reminder on perseverance, dedication, study, and practice. I can actually speak Hebrew and was able to follow and understand what you were saying which was really special to me. I grew up in a household that was a mashup of religion. My mother had converted to Judaism right before I was born so from the time I was at daycare to the time I was 13 I was at a Jewish school learning to speak Hebrew and learning to read and understand the Torah. What I was almost 14 my father who is a Catholic sent me to Catholic boarding school where I learned Latin at took catechism. Thank you, I really appreciated this!
Its nice to have the great work explained by someone who is down to earth (no pun intended)well presented and easy to follow thank you.
Completely agree. This guy is an absolute gem.
Finally got to watch this. This video is amazing, thank you so much for taking all this time and effort. You have made this really easy to follow and I feel like as I progress I will be revisiting this video over and over.
Ah, I'm so glad you managed to watch it! 20 minutes till prime-time 😄
@@FoolishFishBooks Oh! Haha!! I just snuck in before general release! 😂
@@Lydisquidie right! 😄🍀
Thank you! I will be checking out all of your content! This is amazing work!
ok! This is one of the best explanations for the perfomance of the LRP I've ever seen! Very Good, Brother!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it! 😁
Thank you for making this ! And I am all for doing these practices without trappings and gear , because the intention and energy that are ultimately important.
I am still taking notes, memorizing the names and routine. I’ll try my first ceremony tomorrow morning. Thank you. I had to rewatch video a few times. I am very new to all this. I am very interested in all the names of the Angels.
Excellent to review for the beginner, also save a chapter in your book for your personal rendition.
Just finished watching this. Not only is it your best video so far, but I have to say it's also the best I've seen on the LBRP!! So very thorough and detailed! A tremendous help. I will most likely stick with the G.D. version of this, but I got a lot out of seeing your own version as well, along with your explanations of why. I like the idea of "personalizing" it. Thank you so VERY much, Denis!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Art, and thanks also for your kind support which I just noticed :) I hope you'll manage to join us on Discord! :)
This was incredibly helpful. I appreciate you showing the GD way and your own tweaks. Makes me feel ok about the tweaks I've made. 😸
Hi @Merrily Duffy! I'm so glad you've found the video useful! Tweaking to your own circumstances and background is essential in my view :)
I totally misinterpreted "the GD way" for a second there! 😆
A new subscriber as of last week. I've spent the last 24hrs watching videos on LBRP. I practiced the sound for first time last night, then did the visualisation while outside today. Then you go and post this! Best explanation and demonstration. I love your channel Denis. Thank you for becoming a trusted font of knowledge.
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. This is the best video I've come across on the LBRP
I'm so glad I found this video. I was getting majorly confused about how I was doing the LBRP the Golden Dawn way because there are so many different ways people do it, but your video helped clear that up immensely and was incredibly informative. I also enjoyed your take on it as well, though I'm not used to east being fire, but it's good either way.
I never fully agreed with the direction/element/color conventions myself. I have a silver tree of life on the east side of my living space and I imagine the wind rustling the leaves and branches of the tree to represent air in my meditations. I definitely like your version of LBRP as I was visualizing your explanation.
I should have found this way sooner but I'm glad I did. Been doing the LBRP for a few months now (I'm new to the occult) and always felt that something is missing. Thank you for putting these kinds of videos it's a really big help for beginners like me.
'I appreciate you sharing your versions of these rituals. As a newbie to performing The Kabbalistic Cross and LBRP I now enjoy seeing other versions. I am versed on much of the correspondences now. Many years ago when I was first introduced to this level of magick, I was very leery of all the versions as I did not have a foundation of all the Archangels or even the TOL and all its correspondences. Now I feel as though I can effectively perform the rituals, I feel that as I progress, even I may make some alterations and not feel as though I am messing up the flow of energy. Thank you
Hello, thank you for sharing this information.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for for your demonstration.I've been doing the LBRP and the invoking ritual of the pentergram daily for seven weeks and I can feel the effects. I also like to do the LBRP mentally after I've done the physical ritual.
A fish tank stand for a 24”x24” fish tank makes an excellent altar. They come in black, are the right size, and have a cabinet to store magick tools.
This is hands down the best video on the lbrp ive seen. really fabulous video.
You have no idea how useful and informative this video is for my Banishing paper. Thank you Brother! 🙏🏼
Thank you for your great explanation and demonstration
I really like they way you perform in the traditional Golden Dawn way.
This video is very important for begginers.
I just wanna say I enjoy your content. I do the LBRP as taught in The Celtic Golden Dawn by JMG. Seems to be the version that resonates with me. Looking forward to your next vid.
Much love and respect!
John Michael Greer is a great guy, you're in good hands ;)
@@FoolishFishBooks well, I cant say I've met him, but his books are amazing!
@Elias Macfarland Just a shout out to let you know there are other pagans lurking here with you. The introduction of the Celtic Golden Dawn gives an interesting thumb-nail sketch of the history of the Magickal renaissance a couple of centuries back and points out that modern druidry and all of the Golden Dawn-like movement had more common origins than might appear on the surface. Personally I'm spiritually allergic to the overly structured, stuffy, and court-like Judeo-Christian imagery. It makes my pagan skin crawl, however, I am envious of the rich and prodigious volume of symbols and meaning afforded by that tradition and make use of it more than not.
@@LoreMIpsum-vs6dx Awen Awen Awen!!!
Thank you! I found this most interesting and will likely be implementing several items from your way of doing it.
I made a symbolic want from a biro with matches taped to it. At the time, I reasoned that this was the 'fiery part of air'.
This is a really informative video. I just got to the point where I am comfortable enough with the lbrp to start making slight variations of my own during the ritual. Thank you for this video!
What I refer to as "my guidance" has recently surprisingly led me to looking into the the knowledge stream and some methods of the Golden Dawn. Some of their methods and practices my guidance has informed me is to be avoided as they are simply not ideal for me or in alignment with my spiritual path while others are to be wholly embraced, learned about, and to be developed into the future. This was a very interesting video. Thank you for your time and efforts in having made it and for sharing. I seem to have landed here onto your channel and will take time to peruse some of your offerings.
Your teaching is easy and simple to understand
I like when you did the sign of the hydra when your hands shoot out and your head wiggles side to side like a snake. That looked cool as hell. Hahahaha 👍
well, now we have a handsome face to match to those handsome hands - btw, I went it to Watkins yesterday and spoke highly of you to Kirsten (guy with white beard and ponytail), and ordered the True Grimoire, which as a neophyte 'black' magician has been a fascinating read. Thank you for everything Mr. Fish (must remember to become a paid member)
Ah! now I'm jealous! XD With all this lockdown business I've not been able to get myself to the UK this year... A trip to Watkins is long overdue! :D Thank you so much for passing on a good word for me, that was very thoughtful of you, it mean a lot! Best wishes to you :)

Regardie used to say, "tie string around a spoon handle so that it hangs like a pendulum and you have two ends to wrap round your fingers and plug your ears with them the sting wrapped on index fingers (i am not joking here ) if you vibrate the names correctly the spoon will chime like a gong ."

I unkindly remember my reading 1-2 books (before the age of RUclips) with reference to intonation of divine names etc, and seeing ADNI and IHVH and realising that there was something kept back, secret from the uninitiate (I have very mixed feelings about this particular approach but that's another story :) ). Thank you for linking this up and closing a more than a decade long loop I had open!
love the information! sending good energy your way! i've purchased and have begun reading most of the books you've reviewed. Exciting times, this is what i've been looking for. I started with dreams and astral traveling and have been trying to align my mind and body with my higher self to improve the connection.
It feels like my body is eating space or something, like I can feel it, like something is moving in.
So much great information in this I have not heard before. Thank you so much for making and sharing this FF. 🙏
Hey foolish, just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration, after watching your previous videos I started redesigning my LBRP using GDRP techniques from book 4, thelemic God names, and imagery from "the rite of the milk of the stars" on the hermetic library website (highly recommend you've give it a look) , and the quarters as you've described them. I now believe that we're actually meant to change our LBRPs in order to make them work better for us.
:D I'm reaching the same conclusion! :D Thanks for the thoughtful comment, and best wishes to you! :)
East 5:25. Imagine your growing tall above the planet.
Also thank you so much for this video I've subscribed, very interesting stuff I have no clue about but been wanting to try rituals/ ceremony type of stuff because of Curiosity mainly.
Great job, this is a very thorough demonstration! I'm sure this will serve as some very helpful instruction for many Neophytes (such as myself). It's a joy to watch these videos and I'm always looking forward to your next one :D
Thank you very much! What a kind comment! :D I certainly hope it helps a few out!
I’ve learned so much of watching this video. You made this tutorial very well!
I'm so glad! Thanks for the support, Mis Olgun! And the kind words too :D
I really appreciate this tutorial and all you do. It finally made it all stick and make sense to me, after searching the internet for months and trying numerous different versions lol. Thank you, love and light. 🖤
Excellent FF! It's good to see the variations in action. Also I'm glad you mentioned a KEY element in all this, which is what goes on internally. The visuals you must employ in order to get any kind of Kinetic/Chi/Prana energy to build up. I think visualization is a surprisingly overlooked aspect in many foundation ritual videos, which is odd because visualization is the foundation of most magick that I've read about. Thanks!
Thanks for the supportive words, @SMQ! I know, right? There not anywhere near as much 'what goes on inside' information out there as would be helpful... That's one thing I do have to hand to Denning and Phillips of the Aurum Solis tradition - they're very thorough at describing the inner experience of ritual. So central, as you say!
