When I first developed a serious interest in Magick, I read and read and did a lot of research first, and I knew eventually that I'd have to do the LBRP, and I put it off for quite some time for a myriad of reasons, including that I felt like an imposter and felt silly, and there was a bit to remember, but I FINALLY decided one day a few months ago, that I couldn't move forward without it, but I needed to, and so I set out to learn it and make it 2nd nature, and after a handful of times, it happened, it clicked in. I internalized the LBRP. The physical act of the breathing and doing it, and remembering the Archangels, the elements, the names of God, the motions all became ONE, and then I realized how special the LBRP really is. It has power on its own. At first, I fretted about not getting it right, and then I learned you can make it your own within reason. That's the beauty of magick. It's freelance spirituality with no dogma or conditions, and yet there IS some common themes/threads that have been mapped out for us by honest, courageous, intelligent people that looked into the abyss for us all so that we could understand and gain wisdom quicker. It's a blessing what I've discovered. Truly. Magick completes my life! ☺
Meanwhile Ive been putting it off for months too, trying to find an excuse to bypass it... I guess its impatience from me. But also majorly imposter syndrome too, like Im not achieving anything
@@afosfos5509 My friend, I ASSURE you, you are NOT an impostor and anyone who would dare make you feel like one, or condescend you, is NOT any kind of real Magician or spiritualist. Everyone one has been a beginner (even Aleister Crowley or Israel Regardie or out friend Foolish Fish here) and all of us had to start somewhere. The thing is, to start. Do NOT let those voices in your head stop you. I'd even argue that transcending that resistance by those voices is essentially magick all by itself. Just do it. I promise you, the benefits far outweigh the guilt of procrastinating. Get a blank piece of paper, draw out the cardinal directions, the Archangels, the basics, the four names of God (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, Adonai, Eheieh, AGLA), and even if you have to glance at it a few times for a few weeks, so be it. It will click in. I wish you the best and that you start TODAY. (Wait till you get to the Middle Pillar, you'll really dig that one too) Cheers
@@supaballa98 My FIRST book was "The Ritual and Doctrine of High Magick" by Eliphas Levi. And then it was The Kybalion, and then Liber Aba by Aleister Crowley, and also The Way of Hermes. The list goes on, but those are a good start.
I didn’t realize how powerful the lbrp was until all of my repressed emotions and traumatic memories started to resurface so that I could fully process them rather than denying that they’re there.
Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram is a training exercise for the neophyte grade. Proper practice should be invoking form in the morning, Banishing form at night. This system is all about balance and bringing these energies into your field and psyche in a balanced manner. This should also be paired with daily Meditation for 20 minutes minimum. Think of it as a pairing of yin and yang, the ritual work the active yang side and the meditation the passive yin side. Also daily dream journals and daily ritual and event diarys. Keep logs of everything you can think to note down even if it seems insignificant at the time. Eventually it will pay off.
It's interesting. Today in the morning, while I was having my deepest thoughts about the world under the shower, suddenly an idea came up. I thought that if I am practising LBRP (I am fairly new to the practice) then maybe I should incorporate LIRP too, to balance things out. Then I began thinking when should I do it and to me it seemed that the duality of day and night should have some connection to the matter. 20 minutes later I sit on my desk, open my laptop and find this video in my recommended feed, I click and find this comment. It's interesting, really. Sometimes we ask questions and get the answer in a breath. Thanks for the advice! :)
Wow that's right! Now I know what I've been missing, the yang part... I've been meditating for years, mostly passively sitting and just being (Yin). Truly the rituals have something of Yang to them. Maybe working with them will balance me now
Interestingly, the LBRP has always given me a kind of clear calm. It's the mental/energetic equivalent of that sense of space and emptiness when you turn off a radio or TV that has been playing in the background for a while. I also notice that I'm more fortunate, people are more friendly and forthcoming. When I used to work in retail many years ago, I'd always have a better sales day if I did the LBRP in the morning. After a while, regular practice makes me more intuitive and responsive to coming events.
When I started doing it about 6 months ago, a calmness, confidence and sense of purpose came into my life. Of course 6 months down the line I have almost forgotten that, so the video and your comment here are great reminders as to why I am doing it !
Benefit of the LBRP also includes crystallizing your aura whereby you can better cast your magic and intentions. The benefit includes also making energetic attacks on your physical and spiritual self harder. I love the LBRP.
if you dont mind me asking. could you explain what crystalizing and aura means. or point me to a good resource for learning this sort of terminology. im aware its been a while since you have commented but if you do see this it would be greatly appreciated
@@amb600cd0 it’s essentially to draw energy from the universe or the ethers and strengthening your aura which is the extension of yourself that is made up of the same energies as energetic beings in the spiritual realm. By crystallizing your aura through mediation and the drawing of energy into your being, your ability to affect your magic increases as well as your psychic abilities to perceive the spiritual realm. According to Damien Echols, whom I’m not entirely too familiar with, a purpose of crystallizing your aura is that upon death, your energy accumulated will not disperse but rather be maintain. I don’t believe this is the case or maybe I’m misunderstanding him. Either way, I’ve never died and remembered what happened after dying and then reincarnating so meh… There’s a shortcut to magick that isn’t really sexy but the shortcut is this. Believe that your magick works and that the entity or power or energy you are trying to work with has heard you and believe that it is going forth to do your will. Believe it and not worry. Just because you don’t see what others see or see sparkles and fireworks doesn’t mean that it wasn’t heard. I’ve used rituals, spells, amulets and sigils for magick. I’ve also done nothing more than a prayer with an earnest heart and the faithful belief that my intent was heard and will be done. This leads me to the assumption that the absolutely most important thing is your conscious will. The rest is some form of putting to form the function you (thought and mental will) already have inside. To help you as placeholder to help bolster your belief and make it seem more important so that your ritual or spell has some authority passed down thru the ages by some authority that knows something we don’t.
"You need to make your own mistakes" - probably one of the wisest sentences I have heard concerning magickal operations. I fully agree. This is the same opinion I hold whenever discussions of magickal morality comes up. Making mistakes is a great way to learn to not do something. Another great video, thank you fot making this.
Thanks for the kind words! Yes! I believe very deeply in the elastic band effect. If it's too hard to stay on the path, stray off it! And then see how quickly you hop back on it, and how deep your desire to stay on it becomes thereafter!
fot? *drops a grand piano on you and it flattens you like a pancake* *pumps you back into shape with a bike pump* *birds fly around the big bump on your head while tweeting* *you look at the camera and smile revealing your teeth and bow piano keys*
I'd been feeling mildly depressed for several months, then I discovered some LBRP videos on RUclips. I was playing one in which Damien Echols actually leads a guided meditation through the complete LBRP ritual, and I wasn't even doing the ritual but I suddenly felt so much better! It was like a lead weight that had been sitting on my heart was just lifted away and I could breathe freely again. I don't know what happened there, but I'm totally sold on the LBRP.
I love that video. You might want to check out his RUclips channel. He has lots of short videos that describe various magickal things and some longer livestreams.
..I love that you put the hanged man in there.. That was absolutely perfect for that description..I cherish the l.b.r.p.. It's wonderful in so many ways..
As I’ve heard Damien Echols say, enlightenment is a process of losing not gaining🎉 I just love that idea because I feel lighter lol thank you so much for your content it’s a huge resource for me❤ my lbrp takes like 30 min as it stands haha ugh visualizing isn’t my strength
I’ve been into and reading about the occult for years, but I’ve only began practicing magick literally in the last month, and this is very helpful. A lot of this can be kind of confusing, but I greatly appreciate the people like yourself that explain this stuff in an easy and deep way.
When I started doing the LBRP it almost immediately followed with TONS of things that were a huge part of my life getting washed out. Some of it hurt but now I see that it was to make room for ceremonial magick because a lot of those things were obstacles that I didn't even know were stifling me.
I practiced the l.i.r.p in the morning and the l.b.r.p. at night for 2 months where they felt somewhat running through the motions, once I decided to do them back 2 back with the middle pillar in the middle at night, the feeling of newness (something comparable to being high )was VERY noticable and prompted me to staple some blank paper together having no notebook and begin keeping the diary finally, I'm happy, so 😎.
Thank you, Foolish Fish. I went ahead and practiced the Middle Pillar and the LBRP and both made it clear exactly what they are about. I'd compare them to express elevators to the top floor. I'd certainly recommend them. Much learning to be found there. Anyway, thanks for your instruction and look forward to more in future.
This is the best explanation of the LBRP I have heard on RUclips, there are many on RUclips purportedly performing the LBRB most of them use the wrong names or leave out the Cabbalistic Cross. I used to use it a lot, but I started drifting from the path, but only recently I performed it hermetically and I was amazed at how it made me feel, sane for one thing and the desire to learn more or go on a magical retirement.
well put! when i seriously started to study the Abramelin in order to undertake the operation i pretty much lost everyting that i considered important but ended up more spiritually happy in the long run,also when the things i considered important came back to me i was more grateful for them but not reliant on them.i didnt do the abramelin operation in the end as didnt feel ready at the time,but have since bought a small plot of woodland and a bell tent woodburner etc so when i feel ready ile do it.i have never felt such honesty with ones self as there is in the great work! 93,s .Tzaddi Beth.x
Losing things we currently hold as important in our lives could rather be seen as gaining other things which serve us. As an example, I used to proud of the fact that I was good at pushing controller buttons for most of my off time. Reading, meditating, ritual and focusing on what I want to achieve has replaced the former. Great video yet again. This will help clear some misconceptions for beginners.
Excellent explanation, thank you. I've been studying (reading and researching) the LBRP off and on for years and never fully understood the purpose for Invoking 'something' then Banishing that same 'something.' Because I could never get clarity, I just stayed clear of actually practicing it. I'm glad I finally found you on RUclips.
Would you use a dirty knife to spread mayonnaise on bread that had yesterdays peanut butter on it? Of course not. That's the reason you banish...to clear(or clean), then invoke. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. 😉
Very useful insights, extremely helpful for my own exploration into this fascinating rabbit hole. Thank you, bought my first book on magic based on your reviews
Awesome video as always sir. The LBRP did take something from me I was very glad to get rid of. It is a very powerful straightening steel if you will in my opinion.
Thank you so much for the work you do, I much enjoy your lecture series. You may take great pride in your work, and should, as your presentations are both well written, and carefully performed. I am especially enamored of the arcane artwork, that you often display, as it all seems so exotic. I am sure it must be a mix of old and new, and likely comes from your absolutely fantastic hoard of beautiful books. I very much liked the modern looking graphic that is displayed at 03:10 in this particular lecture, I find it both inspiring and provocative, without being scary. Thank you
@@AuroraNatureSounds I still deal with mental health issues, but I'm still way happier than I was. I was actually thinking about getting back into some ceremonial work.
@@DottiethePsychic it seems you are in a good path🙏✨I wish you nothing but a wonderful one filled with Health ans Love. I am so afraid of starting this myself... But I think I will try🙏✨
I REALLY needed this wonderful reminder today. I have been doing the LBRP for 6 months or so now, and due to complacency on my behalf I had sort of "forgot" why I am doing it LOL. This explains it perfectly.
great video. I really can't believe you're getting sprinkles of thumbs down on some of these videos, it's nonsense... your videos are very well made and thought out from what I can tell. cheers.
To be honest, the first time I heard about LBRP was in one of your videos. And I had all the misconceptions you've mentioned. Now, reviewing your videos, things make a little more sense now. I take all esoteric knowledge with great respect and without you I wouldn't have had the courage to keep dogging in. I'll check again LBRP videos before attempting to do it myself. I don't want to do it just once I a while that is one of my personal "demons". Practice and study. Thanks a lot.
"This beginner's ritual could make you lose your job and end your relationships, but trust me, it'll be for the best!" Wow, really encouraged to finally start practicing now.
@@amethystluna2999 Things like that happen when you are moving into a different direction (from the usual established way of life) in regards to your development and growth. That is, IF one is really interested, AND willing to move on and make progress... So, everything in one's life is gradually being rearranged and realigned in ways that will be important for the new direction you have started to head into. Some situations and relationships with people will have to be dissolved/removed, because otherwise they will be getting in the way and holding you back. And new ones will be manifesting that will be beneficial for your growth. It is changes that will start taking place if you are to make progress and move on, beyond the usual mundane way of life. Of course, all that requires dedication, commitment and sincerity from your part if you truly want to evolve as a being. And some of the changes that will be taking place in your life will be unpleasant, annoying... and sometimes even painful and very frustrating. The way/path for the Great Work isn't an easy one, and not for everyone. That's why only a few walk it.
another good video bro. Simply we could also say it banishes (read: cleanses) the elements in the microcosm, while the SBRP in the macrocosm. Some of the earlier forms of the LBRP in the GD are very different of course, without even the use of the 0=0 grade signs (sign of the enterer/sign of silence). Glad you're doing these mate, they're amazing rituals if you do them for years...i did a 5 hour lbrp series on my podcast you should check out plus you totally need to guest on the podcast sometime ;) :P it's at over 5k a month now for some reason i can't figure out!!
@FDennis Thank you for this very concise and clear video! I want to ask you, in performing te LBRP and likewise ritual, what kind of difference to you notice between doing this in a temple designated room, or 'just' in some random room that has it's daily uses? Or outside, for that matter...
Maître Poisson, thank you for another exceptionally clear and helpful video. Please excuse me if I suggest again that the guidance you are giving students of the Art could yield the primary support of you and your family. 🙏
Have you ever tried to do it all in your mind? I have been doing it that way for a few days because I'm living with some cristians and I don't want to scare them, I have found that for some reason it generates waaaaay more energy than when I do it physically, my hole body ends up tickling. Is that ok?
I'd been practicing for daily for a few months, QC, lbpr and middle pillar, when I visited a friend I hadn't seen for a few months due to the lockdown, I noticed him looking at me and around me with a type of fascination, and the first thing he said was "Gordy your aura is absolutely glowing" so I know as well how it increases the auric field.
It’s not supposed to do anything other than clear your Sphere of sensation and mental obsessions,increasing your Life-force or “Aura” would be middle pillar then LBRP again to not attract negative spiritual things into your life.I am an adept not an armchair magician,I would also advise the elimination of “Mental performing” of the LBRP,unless you have a God given gift of visualization and movement of energy,stick to physically doing it I hate reading the fables on social media and online.
This is really helpful information that I often come back to. I've been practicing for a little over a month and certainly am starting to feel subtle changes. Interesting side note: I've been drawing Mandala's, influenced by Carl Jung in Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1963 pg.233), since last summer as a therapeutic practice and self expression. After about a week or two of experimenting with the LBRP I realised that with this I was drawing a mandala with my imagination. Thank you Foolish Fish
I was young, reading books like Merlin. His lost years my T A Barron. I would graze libraries for occult books, id read. From fiction to non fiction, then the internet came about eventually. I studied occult history, to eastern medicine concepts, to third world country practices. I’ve studied various religions, and I can’t say anything else has stood out. All “magic” id say is deeply psychologically invested, into your emotional intensities and the actions used behind decision making and I hope this brings you peace. You can find peace, love, or release of trauma and anger, or even allow your emotions to thrive in a safe space and not harm your material experiences.
Thanks for this. A friend of mine asked me about Magickal practice. I sent him this. This has been very useful. I taught myself from books before the interweb. I wrote on poster paper so I could remember my directional calls. I still do that with rituals now 🤣. Good tip for learning. Cheers pal.
Great video. I’ve been reading/listening to a lot about the LBRP lately and this sums it up really nicely. Your recommendation of LIRP in the AM and LBRP in the PM is echoed by David Shoemaker. This video’s main effect for me personally though is that it helped explain a really unpleasant event recently and brought some peace in that explanation. Thus the whiny, doubting ego mind has been further convinced that... this shit really works. Merci monsieur.
Interesting, when you were talking that LBRP may cause a huge turmoil in personal life, I realised that I my ridiculous inability to get employed recently coincides with me beginning to practice LBRP since January this year (and I had started my own side business in late 2023). It's strangely comforting to know that although it's painful, I may have inadvertently caused something that may be of a great benefit in the future. Magick is indeed real.
Would you consider doing a video on the lesser invoking ritual of the pentagram? It would build nicely upon your other videos and be helpful for many, I’m sure 🙏😊
I have been practicing it a lot lately I try to learn much as I can about it practice it mentally and then physically I have a little book I carry with me to practice when I can I find it very centering and reminds me of mindfulness if that sounds ok ? You are a very good teacher and I appreciate you're channel ❤️
Great video!!! One of your best and they're all great. I'm starting to think that each practitioner, within a short time of beginning his or her practice of the LBRP regularly, will invariably have some kind of personal experience that reveals to them both the LBRP's meaning and importance in a completely unexpected way. Your remarks seemed to reinforce this notion and they definitely furthered my understanding. Thank you!
The LBRB stopped me from going nuts and stopped my anxiety. I am not happy about the lack of a disclaimer: you become visible to undesirables in and aware of the astral. So they say.
@@idontknowyetwhoiam He probably means you 'light up' in the Astral/whatever you want to call it - it's a common understanding with Magick from my looking around that when you start to practice, you become more 'visible' to things that exist in that realm and might draw some. I've noticed experienced occultists mention this.
I feel like the meaning of this ritual could be meditated on endlessly. It seems to keep unfolding its secrets (or is like a key itself). Each symbol is like a mandala, for example the pentagram. I just never tire of the lirp/lbrp and there is usually a new insight with each focused attempt. Thanks for this refocusing video! I feel like I'm forever attempting it, like a martial arts form.
Me going the other way around somehow 🙃 Having discovered I am literally gods hands on earth, to now setting boundaries with it and empowering my human subconscious to believe that my human self also has the authority to ask and receive what it needs to survive and be healthy and happy. Setting boundaries with the universe, particularly within myself, and having to consciously and literally communicate my needs as a human being with it, was something I did not expect… that’s how disconnected I was from my physical self. But it makes sense to me now, given the nature of my childhood and how that built my subconscious. Good to know now so I can work on it. I don’t want to be Jesus on that cross.
I recently purchased the LBRP by Frater Abiyah and it was the best $8 I ever spent. I couldn't believe the result I got from it. Just the ritual alone was extremely helpful. It uses the standard Golden Dawn ritual.
From my 20 plus years of magical practice, I've come to realise that much of the paraphernalia of magick, both physical and psychological, are completely unnecessary. You could literally make up a ritual on the spot, using the most ridiculous imagery imaginable and have fantastic results. Been there and done it. The reason why rituals like the lbrp work is because people think it will, because it has a certain amount of historical and psychological weight behind it. I do my own version which is nothing like your version or the traditional one. I personally don't really bother with any astrological, alchemical or elemental stuff because it's meaningless to me. So why would i use it? I think a lot of the traditional magical content based around angels and demons and whatnot is outdated, outmoded crap. But if it works for you, then it works. But not because it's the truth. Anyone who's had enough experience of these things knows that you can get into any spiritual tradition and have spiritual experiences relevant to that tradition. I've done it with Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology and had quite profound experiences with all of them. It's all just made up by people. The key factor in 99.9% of any magical operation and life in general is YOU and YOUR beliefs and how fervently YOU hold those beliefs and how well YOU can use YOUR will, intention and imagination. Magick is like finding the right psychological placebo in order to make your mind find a reason to excuse and accept seemingly miraculous phenomena. Anyway.... Have a nice day.
Okay most interesting, my shaman teacher told me exactly the same years ago, (actually is i more a "wiseman" to me doing Germanic magic but he studied with Sandra Ingerman so people give him a a shamanistic flavor, lol, egal) He told me that eventually rituals may not be necessary, true he can build a "circle" without needing the ceremonial... On my side I still need them but noticed that sometimes I can make "things happen" without the need of a complicated ritual, we used to do ritual lasting 2 or 3 hours, I learnt through experience that once trained this "simile state of trance induced" can be attained with a simple "Low Magick technique" but with me, I still need the paraphernalia as you wrote (nice word by the way) because I love the "ambiance of it" .. personal choice.. but what i am trying clumsily to share, is (you an laugh now) in simple words... " Yup I agree totally)
I've been having many of these same thoughts lately. "It's all just made up by people" really resonated with me because it's so easy to think that L. Ron Hubbard made up Scientology and Joseph Smith made up Mormonism, but nobody wants to believe that Moses made up YHWH-ism and Jesus and his disciples made up him being the Jewish Messiah. Having said that, I do believe all of these magicians came closer to understanding the true nature of God than any of us.
@@godlysidekick if joseph smith actually came close to god i dont think mormonism would have taken the course it has. but i understand what u mean. especially the older magicians. i highly doubt the made up their gods. at least in the way we think that would happen now. they likely felt then come as revelations during ritual. they believed in them from their inception. there was never the thought of wanting to create god. of course none of this can ve verified due to the time between us and those people. but i can agree they likely had profound experiences to shape their models of divinity. and likely felt an extreme closeness to totality. or whatever you prefer to call it
Amazing video like all your videos.Thank you for sharing the knowledge!So regarding lower magic and getting success and wealth(I'm sure noone asked you before🤣) which rituals or books would you recommend? From your personal experience. Unless i'm wrong you seem pretty succesful so you are doing something right. Daemons books are great and i have almost all of them but something seems to be missing....I've tried the rituals in them but i don't get the same 'energy' or 'feeling' like when i perform the LBRP.
In my personal experience with LBRP, is to "banish" any spiritual and unseen entity in my space (especially my room's environment) without any ceremonial tools and items on my person, to perform the ritual. Just only using it for that purpose, and nothing else. With the release of this video.... I realized now that, the LBRP has a greater impact on one's personal life when performing the LBRP. And thank you for that wondrous information! However...... Is it recommended to have some physical ceremonial tools and items, in order to perform the LBRP, properly? Due to the nature of LBRP being part of Ceremonial Magic.
No. The LBRP can be performed "properly" with no tools at all. Adding tools does no harm, and can add to the solemnity of the occasion which the practitioner might appreciate, but their absence does not affect the practice.
When I read one of Aleister Crowley‘s books probably the equinox he described his setup at the Boleskin House and his altar outside was 13 feet long and then he had two smaller alters up onto the top of a staircase and all of his ritualistic tools were placed in random locations and he would utilize Latin and it dawned on me that he was actually making a keyboard as in how today’s QWERTY keyboard is set to Latin he was doing the same thing with his alters and utilizing his rituals to perform functions as such as a keyboard because the keyboard is set to Latin through QWERTY and he tapped into the as above so below through the star systems above which is activated on an algorithm in the star system it’s known as Algol. To me when he tapped into the Egyptian stuff he was becoming a scribe. When he made the Toth deck he was putting the 22 major arcana with Egyptian symbols throughout his deck but the 22 major arcana which is the 21+ the fool is the same lineup as the 22 mummies and the golden parade from the 18th dynasty he was ahead of his time.
Hi, interesting that you mentioned Damon Brand books. I have two, Magickal Protection and Archangel Magick. From the Magickal Protection book I do a form of the Banishing Sword ritual daily and it seems effective so far. However, when I did the Master Protection ritual just 1x it seemed to have an unexpected result. I had overwhelming fears at night when trying to sleep. My daughter said there are spirits in the house. I havent done the MP ritual since and am now trying to learn LBRP to do in conjunction with Banishing Sword. Not sure what your thoughts are on MP ritual but would love to hear it. After reading a few reviews and forums others (very few) have had a bad experience also. I also think I shouldn't do anymore magick in my bedroom, the energy makes it hard to sleep sometimes. Thanks for sharing love your videos!
Hi. I also found the MP ritual did this initially. I suspect what it does is unmask the spirits that are already there. Or possibly the bring to manifestation those parts of our subconscious that are causing us the issues. As I write though, there may be no difference between those two. Either way, when it happened to me, it felt particularly ‘interesting’... quite the morning that was. After that though I have found the MP Ritual brings balance and a real sense of calm. I just finished doing it as day 14 of the 33 day ritual. I start with the QC, then do the SB Ritual and MP Ritual. I’ve found it is helping.
@@zeoskydancer9574 Hi! Thank you for writing and letting me know your experience. I feel as if BS and MP rituals opened my 3rd eye as they have made me very sensitive to energy, already being an empath now I am ultra sensitive. I did the MP close to Samhain or on it so I think I lit myself up brightly on the astral lol. That night I was so paranoid I had tension in my whole body and neck, felt like at any given moment i would see something on the other side. It happened all week. It just feels like something is watching me hardcore, but not harmful, just a new sensation for me! My daughter said unexpected breezes in our home, one night we had a candle lit and it flickered and sputtered all crazy, my daughter was not afraid but she said it was a spirit. I dont believe I had anything paranormal prior to doing the MP but I do have alot of personal issues from past traumas indeed including major chakra imbalances and blockages. I come from a Catholic background amd possibly something sparked in my psychological past programming. I dont normally dabble outside of the archangels so the Nuctemeron spirits kind of made me kind of uncomfortable, not familiar. I have had some great things happen since the BS and MP however, my relationships at home have greatly improved and I dont seem to care what others think anymore, those rituals give confidence it's pretty amazing. Not sure if I'm going to try the MP again and if i do, it wont be where i sleep not sure if that has anything to do with sleeping issues but that's where i feel the strongest energy. Also, I have gone back and forth on the BS ritual replacing Yohach, Kalach, etc with the archangels. They both seem effective. I do want to learn the LBRP and try it. Also, I do the chakra chants to help the imbalances. Thanks again for your reply:)
@@GirlyTipsEtc We have very similar backgrounds and paths it seems. My first step out of the church was Buddhism, then a little Daoism followed by a lot of Kundalini/Shaiva Tantra. Manipura and Muladhara are my problem children. Yes doing a ritual like this on Halloween which was also a blue moon would have definitely had an effect. 😁. It’s funny you say about not doing the MP Ritual in your bedroom. I have been doing it in the living room... until today when I had no choice. Tonight could be interesting. If Archangels seem to work for you, I think the LBRP should be pretty good. It’s my evening practice ATM. Damien Echols book High Magick takes you through it nicely. I believe our ‘host’ has reviewed it from memory. Echols version has some changes from the traditional version with more Archangels included. I find the traditional version works for me, but I’ve also used his version to some effect. Good luck with it!
@@FoolishFishBooks Where can I find more information on the rite of the sword? web search didn’t turn up anything useful, which book is it from? I’m familiar with GOM’s sword banishing but I’m guessing this is different? That would be a great video topic too 🤞🏼
@@FoolishFishBooks thanks for confirming, I appreciate it! I also must say I’m really loving the content you create, your LBRP research of the elements and 4 archangels directions was eye opening and has changed my practice! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
You say that the LBRP shouldn't be used for low magick, or for protection before low magick, or for combining it with low magick. I'm not sure I've understood you correctly, because I do low magick AND want to start doing LBRP, because I realize I need to learn it as a practicing magician. Is it still okay to do the LBRP, for example, in the morning, just before doing magick from The Magickal Cashbook, 72 Angels of Magick, etc (in short, GoM's books)? I don't see how it could be a problem, but I want to hear your viewpoint on this. Also, Damien Echols says in Angels and Archangels that we should always do the LBRP before doing any practical magick, so theres some contradiction here. Also, Echols says that the line we trace from pentagram to pentagram should be white and you say it should be blue. Which one is better? Peace.
How does this pair with mindfulness meditation? Can it perhaps make you more successful, or inclined to success in life? I know you said it isn't low magick, but is it a mindset shift that comes, etc ... And most importantly, how long should I do the LBRP before advancing on to other exercises, Middle Pillar ,etc... Might of missed it, I apologize. Keep up the great work!
One of the best explanations of the LBRP. Simple yet informative. I like the way you dispel the many misconceptions and draw more interest into the practice. Very inspiring.
I think most people really don't understand this ritual. It's aim is truly multipurpose for spiritual development of the aspirant. If you really work with this ritual you will be surprised on how well it works. I mean "really" work it not just say the ritual and then say your mastered it. If you get into the ritual, vibrate the words with frequency, arduous practice, draw and paint the Archangels for intense visualization, when you vibrate the words like you feel your entire being feels like a volcano and then the words roar from you. When you finish you know you are clean and you know and feel and see the Archangels around you. Believe me you will never doubt this ritual and be thankful you worked with it. The key here is work it!!
Does this ritual wreck your life? I don't want that, as I hate unpleasantness without consent. Regardless of how much 'hindsight' may make it look good for me (hindsight will do that with anything painful that doesn't kill you and seemed to make things better)
I appreciate your videos, Foolish Fish. I would like to admit that I have stayed away from the LBRP for years because of the confusion involved and the confusing terminology. Question: I could never understand why I would want to call up an evil spirit to begin with, then to only have to "banish" it? And, the "binding" word has added even more confusion to magickal work involving purification. Question: Why would I want to "bind" a spirit to myself? That's so bad and so wrong. I've been trying to work through this confusion for years and only get confusing answers back that leave me stuck.
I have lots of videos on my channel addressing these questions. Binding refers to binding the spirit so that it can't cause trouble, as you might bind a prisoner. Nothing to do with binding it to yourself.
I’ve practiced the LBRP on and off for years now but I never got past a few days of consistent practice. It didn’t feel like it has the oomf I need so I just jumped into all the rituals LBRP, LBRH, MP, Circulation of light plus meditation. I don’t get the reasoning to practice LBRP only for months, however I’ve been on the spiritual path for years and I’m a practicing medium and spiritual healer so I felt confident to just jump right in because I’m used to energy work. Great video as always! Ps: I’m cooking spaghetti while watching this!

![Keeping Magic Secret [Esoteric Saturdays]](/img/1.gif)
When I first developed a serious interest in Magick, I read and read and did a lot of research first, and I knew eventually that I'd have to do the LBRP, and I put it off for quite some time for a myriad of reasons, including that I felt like an imposter and felt silly, and there was a bit to remember, but I FINALLY decided one day a few months ago, that I couldn't move forward without it, but I needed to, and so I set out to learn it and make it 2nd nature, and after a handful of times, it happened, it clicked in. I internalized the LBRP. The physical act of the breathing and doing it, and remembering the Archangels, the elements, the names of God, the motions all became ONE, and then I realized how special the LBRP really is. It has power on its own. At first, I fretted about not getting it right, and then I learned you can make it your own within reason. That's the beauty of magick. It's freelance spirituality with no dogma or conditions, and yet there IS some common themes/threads that have been mapped out for us by honest, courageous, intelligent people that looked into the abyss for us all so that we could understand and gain wisdom quicker. It's a blessing what I've discovered. Truly. Magick completes my life! ☺
Meanwhile Ive been putting it off for months too, trying to find an excuse to bypass it... I guess its impatience from me. But also majorly imposter syndrome too, like Im not achieving anything
@@afosfos5509 My friend, I ASSURE you, you are NOT an impostor and anyone who would dare make you feel like one, or condescend you, is NOT any kind of real Magician or spiritualist. Everyone one has been a beginner (even Aleister Crowley or Israel Regardie or out friend Foolish Fish here) and all of us had to start somewhere. The thing is, to start. Do NOT let those voices in your head stop you. I'd even argue that transcending that resistance by those voices is essentially magick all by itself. Just do it. I promise you, the benefits far outweigh the guilt of procrastinating. Get a blank piece of paper, draw out the cardinal directions, the Archangels, the basics, the four names of God (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, Adonai, Eheieh, AGLA), and even if you have to glance at it a few times for a few weeks, so be it. It will click in. I wish you the best and that you start TODAY. (Wait till you get to the Middle Pillar, you'll really dig that one too) Cheers
Thank you so much! That's very inspiring and helpful!
Where did you start? What did you read?
@@supaballa98 My FIRST book was "The Ritual and Doctrine of High Magick" by Eliphas Levi. And then it was The Kybalion, and then Liber Aba by Aleister Crowley, and also The Way of Hermes. The list goes on, but those are a good start.
I didn’t realize how powerful the lbrp was until all of my repressed emotions and traumatic memories started to resurface so that I could fully process them rather than denying that they’re there.
I know this is a vulnerable topic but may you elaborate further on this? I'm sitting in the same boat...
@@Elias-jp5gc According to Isreal Regardie in his book middle piller a certain amount of psychotherapy is needed to get the balance right.
"The lips of wisdom are open to the ears of understanding".
humble thanks.
Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram is a training exercise for the neophyte grade. Proper practice should be invoking form in the morning, Banishing form at night. This system is all about balance and bringing these energies into your field and psyche in a balanced manner. This should also be paired with daily Meditation for 20 minutes minimum. Think of it as a pairing of yin and yang, the ritual work the active yang side and the meditation the passive yin side. Also daily dream journals and daily ritual and event diarys. Keep logs of everything you can think to note down even if it seems insignificant at the time. Eventually it will pay off.
Would that be 20 minutes in meditation, prior to using the LBRP, or after using the LBRP?
It's interesting. Today in the morning, while I was having my deepest thoughts about the world under the shower, suddenly an idea came up. I thought that if I am practising LBRP (I am fairly new to the practice) then maybe I should incorporate LIRP too, to balance things out. Then I began thinking when should I do it and to me it seemed that the duality of day and night should have some connection to the matter. 20 minutes later I sit on my desk, open my laptop and find this video in my recommended feed, I click and find this comment. It's interesting, really. Sometimes we ask questions and get the answer in a breath. Thanks for the advice! :)
Wow that's right! Now I know what I've been missing, the yang part... I've been meditating for years, mostly passively sitting and just being (Yin). Truly the rituals have something of Yang to them. Maybe working with them will balance me now
how will the journals help? It's so much.
@@bolocanalberto I see....thank you for your kind input.
:)
Interestingly, the LBRP has always given me a kind of clear calm. It's the mental/energetic equivalent of that sense of space and emptiness when you turn off a radio or TV that has been playing in the background for a while. I also notice that I'm more fortunate, people are more friendly and forthcoming. When I used to work in retail many years ago, I'd always have a better sales day if I did the LBRP in the morning. After a while, regular practice makes me more intuitive and responsive to coming events.
When I started doing it about 6 months ago, a calmness, confidence and sense of purpose came into my life. Of course 6 months down the line I have almost forgotten that, so the video and your comment here are great reminders as to why I am doing it !
@@kobalt77 six months only the LBRP? Did you go to the next step, The Middle Pillar?
@@bolocanalberto Yes, I have been doing that for a few months, also the LVX ritual and the Rose Cross. I did the Headless Rite twice 2 weeks ago.
@Dub Siren quick question, what is the purpose & benefits of the headless/ bornless ritual?
Invoke in the morning, banish in the evening...Awesome ❣️
Benefit of the LBRP also includes crystallizing your aura whereby you can better cast your magic and intentions. The benefit includes also making energetic attacks on your physical and spiritual self harder. I love the LBRP.
if you dont mind me asking. could you explain what crystalizing and aura means. or point me to a good resource for learning this sort of terminology. im aware its been a while since you have commented but if you do see this it would be greatly appreciated
@@amb600cd0 it’s essentially to draw energy from the universe or the ethers and strengthening your aura which is the extension of yourself that is made up of the same energies as energetic beings in the spiritual realm.
By crystallizing your aura through mediation and the drawing of energy into your being, your ability to affect your magic increases as well as your psychic abilities to perceive the spiritual realm.
According to Damien Echols, whom I’m not entirely too familiar with, a purpose of crystallizing your aura is that upon death, your energy accumulated will not disperse but rather be maintain. I don’t believe this is the case or maybe I’m misunderstanding him. Either way, I’ve never died and remembered what happened after dying and then reincarnating so meh…
There’s a shortcut to magick that isn’t really sexy but the shortcut is this. Believe that your magick works and that the entity or power or energy you are trying to work with has heard you and believe that it is going forth to do your will. Believe it and not worry. Just because you don’t see what others see or see sparkles and fireworks doesn’t mean that it wasn’t heard.
I’ve used rituals, spells, amulets and sigils for magick. I’ve also done nothing more than a prayer with an earnest heart and the faithful belief that my intent was heard and will be done.
This leads me to the assumption that the absolutely most important thing is your conscious will. The rest is some form of putting to form the function you (thought and mental will) already have inside. To help you as placeholder to help bolster your belief and make it seem more important so that your ritual or spell has some authority passed down thru the ages by some authority that knows something we don’t.
@@dallasstang2818 this was super helpful. things make a lot more sense now. i cant appreciate you enough :)! thank you
"You need to make your own mistakes" - probably one of the wisest sentences I have heard concerning magickal operations. I fully agree. This is the same opinion I hold whenever discussions of magickal morality comes up. Making mistakes is a great way to learn to not do something.
Another great video, thank you fot making this.
Thanks for the kind words! Yes! I believe very deeply in the elastic band effect. If it's too hard to stay on the path, stray off it! And then see how quickly you hop back on it, and how deep your desire to stay on it becomes thereafter!

I'd been feeling mildly depressed for several months, then I discovered some LBRP videos on RUclips. I was playing one in which Damien Echols actually leads a guided meditation through the complete LBRP ritual, and I wasn't even doing the ritual but I suddenly felt so much better! It was like a lead weight that had been sitting on my heart was just lifted away and I could breathe freely again. I don't know what happened there, but I'm totally sold on the LBRP.
I love that video. You might want to check out his RUclips channel. He has lots of short videos that describe various magickal things and some longer livestreams.
That video is awesome!
His patreon is amazing too-highly recommend to all☺️
@@SarahTrpelivost so true and I am glad that I am a Patreon member. I am new to this and he's been a great help.
That was wonderful to read, I am joyous for you 😊
..I love that you put the hanged man in there.. That was absolutely perfect for that description..I cherish the l.b.r.p.. It's wonderful in so many ways..
As I’ve heard Damien Echols say, enlightenment is a process of losing not gaining🎉 I just love that idea because I feel lighter lol thank you so much for your content it’s a huge resource for me❤ my lbrp takes like 30 min as it stands haha ugh visualizing isn’t my strength
I’ve been into and reading about the occult for years, but I’ve only began practicing magick literally in the last month, and this is very helpful. A lot of this can be kind of confusing, but I greatly appreciate the people like yourself that explain this stuff in an easy and deep way.
I am in a very similar situation as you, only been doing the LBRP for 6 months or so. How is your "craft" coming along?
When I started doing the LBRP it almost immediately followed with TONS of things that were a huge part of my life getting washed out. Some of it hurt but now I see that it was to make room for ceremonial magick because a lot of those things were obstacles that I didn't even know were stifling me.
I’ve known this ritual for 20+ years, but your explanation was very informative. Thank you.
I've known it for....for....700 years!
Nah, I've only known about it for like 4 years :D I'm just being silly.
Thank ypu, very clearly explained. 😊
Love how this video is 11:11
I know, was quite chuffed when I spotted that when the video finished uploading 😄
I practiced the l.i.r.p in the morning and the l.b.r.p. at night for 2 months where they felt somewhat running through the motions, once I decided to do them back 2 back with the middle pillar in the middle at night, the feeling of newness (something comparable to being high )was VERY noticable and prompted me to staple some blank paper together having no notebook and begin keeping the diary finally, I'm happy, so 😎.
Thank you, Foolish Fish. I went ahead and practiced the Middle Pillar and the LBRP and both made it clear exactly what they are about. I'd compare them to express elevators to the top floor. I'd certainly recommend them. Much learning to be found there. Anyway, thanks for your instruction and look forward to more in future.
This is the best explanation of the LBRP I have heard on RUclips, there are many on RUclips purportedly performing the LBRB most of them use the wrong names or leave out the Cabbalistic Cross. I used to use it a lot, but I started drifting from the path, but only recently I performed it hermetically and I was amazed at how it made me feel, sane for one thing and the desire to learn more or go on a magical retirement.
well put! when i seriously started to study the Abramelin in order to undertake the operation i pretty much lost everyting that i considered important but ended up more spiritually happy in the long run,also when the things i considered important came back to me i was more grateful for them but not reliant on them.i didnt do the abramelin operation in the end as didnt feel ready at the time,but have since bought a small plot of woodland and a bell tent woodburner etc so when i feel ready ile do it.i have never felt such honesty with ones self as there is in the great work! 93,s .Tzaddi Beth.x
Omg, great video. Thanks a lot!
Losing things we currently hold as important in our lives could rather be seen as gaining other things which serve us. As an example, I used to proud of the fact that I was good at pushing controller buttons for most of my off time. Reading, meditating, ritual and focusing on what I want to achieve has replaced the former. Great video yet again. This will help clear some misconceptions for beginners.
Thanks for the thoughts, @MetaGordy!
Well shit I think it's about time I just give it a go. Thanks for you're wisdom you have a great way of explaining things.
Excellent explanation, thank you. I've been studying (reading and researching) the LBRP off and on for years and never fully understood the purpose for Invoking 'something' then Banishing that same 'something.' Because I could never get clarity, I just stayed clear of actually practicing it. I'm glad I finally found you on RUclips.
So glad it was helpful, @Lynna! Thank you for your kind words!
Would you use a dirty knife to spread mayonnaise on bread that had yesterdays peanut butter on it? Of course not. That's the reason you banish...to clear(or clean), then invoke. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. 😉
Very useful insights, extremely helpful for my own exploration into this fascinating rabbit hole. Thank you, bought my first book on magic based on your reviews
Very useful video! Thanks! before seeing this, I had a totally wrong idea of the LBRP.
As always.... very useful😜. Have a great day my friend, your thoughts are appreciated!!!
Awesome video as always sir. The LBRP did take something from me I was very glad to get rid of. It is a very powerful straightening steel if you will in my opinion.
Ah! I'm glad this rings a bell! 😊
Excellent video. Have begun practicing and curious what it will bring
Beautiful. Thank you. Big spring clean!
Hehe! It's a nice analogy, I think!
Thank you so much for the work you do, I much enjoy your lecture series. You may take great pride in your work, and should, as your presentations are both well written, and carefully performed.
I am especially enamored of the arcane artwork, that you often display, as it all seems so exotic. I am sure it must be a mix of old and new, and likely comes from your absolutely fantastic hoard of beautiful books.
I very much liked the modern looking graphic that is displayed at 03:10 in this particular lecture, I find it both inspiring and provocative, without being scary.
Thank you
I did this for a year. I lost my career, left my husband, and lost my house. I am so much happier now.
How are things for you now, Dottie?
@@AuroraNatureSounds I still deal with mental health issues, but I'm still way happier than I was. I was actually thinking about getting back into some ceremonial work.
@@DottiethePsychic it seems you are in a good path🙏✨I wish you nothing but a wonderful one filled with Health ans Love. I am so afraid of starting this myself... But I think I will try🙏✨
I REALLY needed this wonderful reminder today. I have been doing the LBRP for 6 months or so now, and due to complacency on my behalf I had sort of "forgot" why I am doing it LOL. This explains it perfectly.
Ah! That's nice to hear! 😊🙏
@@FoolishFishBooks 🙏 You do make exceedingly useful videos.
Practical application is much appreciated.😘💕
Thank you for such a thorough, direct and effective explanation of the LBRP; fantastic video!
great video. I really can't believe you're getting sprinkles of thumbs down on some of these videos, it's nonsense... your videos are very well made and thought out from what I can tell. cheers.
I appreciate that, @Andy! 😄🙏
You're so brilliant, man. It's a real joy to listen to you.
To be honest, the first time I heard about LBRP was in one of your videos. And I had all the misconceptions you've mentioned. Now, reviewing your videos, things make a little more sense now. I take all esoteric knowledge with great respect and without you I wouldn't have had the courage to keep dogging in. I'll check again LBRP videos before attempting to do it myself. I don't want to do it just once I a while that is one of my personal "demons". Practice and study. Thanks a lot.
Thanks toi for the kind words! It's so nice to know my videos are being useful!
"This beginner's ritual could make you lose your job and end your relationships, but trust me, it'll be for the best!" Wow, really encouraged to finally start practicing now.

@@EdinburghPokemon why does it makes you loose your job or friendship I didn't understood that
@@amethystluna2999 Things like that happen when you are moving into a different direction (from the usual established way of life) in regards to your development and growth. That is, IF one is really interested, AND willing to move on and make progress... So, everything in one's life is gradually being rearranged and realigned in ways that will be important for the new direction you have started to head into.
Some situations and relationships with people will have to be dissolved/removed, because otherwise they will be getting in the way and holding you back. And new ones will be manifesting that will be beneficial for your growth.
It is changes that will start taking place if you are to make progress and move on, beyond the usual mundane way of life.
Of course, all that requires dedication, commitment and sincerity from your part if you truly want to evolve as a being. And some of the changes that will be taking place in your life will be unpleasant, annoying... and sometimes even painful and very frustrating. The way/path for the Great Work isn't an easy one, and not for everyone. That's why only a few walk it.
This happened to me, it tore apart my entire life, but it was for the best
@@jenbodhi1133 I'm really scared to practice it for now I think I should practice it when I'm ready
another good video bro. Simply we could also say it banishes (read: cleanses) the elements in the microcosm, while the SBRP in the macrocosm. Some of the earlier forms of the LBRP in the GD are very different of course, without even the use of the 0=0 grade signs (sign of the enterer/sign of silence). Glad you're doing these mate, they're amazing rituals if you do them for years...i did a 5 hour lbrp series on my podcast you should check out plus you totally need to guest on the podcast sometime ;) :P it's at over 5k a month now for some reason i can't figure out!!
@FDennis Thank you for this very concise and clear video! I want to ask you, in performing te LBRP and likewise ritual, what kind of difference to you notice between doing this in a temple designated room, or 'just' in some random room that has it's daily uses? Or outside, for that matter...
Just the sense of importance, but it's not an important part of the ritual, and it's one that can (and should) easily be "faked".
been looking for a sign to finally begin doing this ritual. thank you for posting this!
Maître Poisson, thank you for another exceptionally clear and helpful video. Please excuse me if I suggest again that the guidance you are giving students of the Art could yield the primary support of you and your family. 🙏
I've done it daily for multiple years. Honestly for me it just increases my auric field and makes more it tangible to my direct experience.
Have you ever tried to do it all in your mind? I have been doing it that way for a few days because I'm living with some cristians and I don't want to scare them, I have found that for some reason it generates waaaaay more energy than when I do it physically, my hole body ends up tickling. Is that ok?
@@davidellmer1429 you meant you closed your eyes and visualized your body doing the LBRP ?
I'd been practicing for daily for a few months, QC, lbpr and middle pillar, when I visited a friend I hadn't seen for a few months due to the lockdown, I noticed him looking at me and around me with a type of fascination, and the first thing he said was "Gordy your aura is absolutely glowing" so I know as well how it increases the auric field.
@@carloscab3854 yes, like if I was on virtual reality kinda XD
It’s not supposed to do anything other than clear your Sphere of sensation and mental obsessions,increasing your Life-force or “Aura” would be middle pillar then LBRP again to not attract negative spiritual things into your life.I am an adept not an armchair magician,I would also advise the elimination of “Mental performing” of the LBRP,unless you have a God given gift of visualization and movement of energy,stick to physically doing it I hate reading the fables on social media and online.
excellent clear consonants-quite rare these days-thank-you
Your lessons are best viewed with leadbeater in hand
These videos help me so much in my research! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is really helpful information that I often come back to. I've been practicing for a little over a month and certainly am starting to feel subtle changes. Interesting side note: I've been drawing Mandala's, influenced by Carl Jung in Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1963 pg.233), since last summer as a therapeutic practice and self expression. After about a week or two of experimenting with the LBRP I realised that with this I was drawing a mandala with my imagination. Thank you Foolish Fish
I was young, reading books like Merlin. His lost years my T A Barron. I would graze libraries for occult books, id read. From fiction to non fiction, then the internet came about eventually.
I studied occult history, to eastern medicine concepts, to third world country practices. I’ve studied various religions, and I can’t say anything else has stood out.
All “magic” id say is deeply psychologically invested, into your emotional intensities and the actions used behind decision making and I hope this brings you peace.
You can find peace, love, or release of trauma and anger, or even allow your emotions to thrive in a safe space and not harm your material experiences.
Thanks for this. A friend of mine asked me about Magickal practice. I sent him this. This has been very useful. I taught myself from books before the interweb. I wrote on poster paper so I could remember my directional calls. I still do that with rituals now 🤣. Good tip for learning. Cheers pal.
Your input is invaluable.
This is crazy ive been trying to figure this out for weeks. You have been a huge resource for me as i begin my practice
Beautiful way of explaning the LBRP.
Great video. I’ve been reading/listening to a lot about the LBRP lately and this sums it up really nicely. Your recommendation of LIRP in the AM and LBRP in the PM is echoed by David Shoemaker. This video’s main effect for me personally though is that it helped explain a really unpleasant event recently and brought some peace in that explanation. Thus the whiny, doubting ego mind has been further convinced that... this shit really works. Merci monsieur.
Im so glad I subscribed to this channel.
Oh my God! What a helpful video... so glad I found this!!
i love how you articulate the information! very very helpful!!
Interesting, when you were talking that LBRP may cause a huge turmoil in personal life, I realised that I my ridiculous inability to get employed recently coincides with me beginning to practice LBRP since January this year (and I had started my own side business in late 2023). It's strangely comforting to know that although it's painful, I may have inadvertently caused something that may be of a great benefit in the future. Magick is indeed real.
Would you consider doing a video on the lesser invoking ritual of the pentagram? It would build nicely upon your other videos and be helpful for many, I’m sure 🙏😊
I have been practicing it a lot lately I try to learn much as I can about it practice it mentally and then physically I have a little book I carry with me to practice when I can I find it very centering and reminds me of mindfulness if that sounds ok ? You are a very good teacher and I appreciate you're channel ❤️
any recommendations for low magic? orders, books, systems, etc..???
Fantastic! Very inspiritional, you are an excellent teacher!
This is amazing! I'd love to hear your thoughts about The Bornless Ritual if you ever feel like it :)
It's an amazing one, and yes, I fully intend to cover it soon!
very interesting. new to magik, learning lots. im going to try this
Great video!!! One of your best and they're all great. I'm starting to think that each practitioner, within a short time of beginning his or her practice of the LBRP regularly, will invariably have some kind of personal experience that reveals to them both the LBRP's meaning and importance in a completely unexpected way. Your remarks seemed to reinforce this notion and they definitely furthered my understanding. Thank you!
The way i learned it, it's has massive creative possibilities !!!
The LBRB stopped me from going nuts and stopped my anxiety. I am not happy about the lack of a disclaimer: you become visible to undesirables in and aware of the astral. So they say.
I've actually heard the opposite. Middle Pillar makes you visible, LBRP keeps you hidden as you enter the current.
Wdym you become visible to undesirables?
@@idontknowyetwhoiam He probably means you 'light up' in the Astral/whatever you want to call it - it's a common understanding with Magick from my looking around that when you start to practice, you become more 'visible' to things that exist in that realm and might draw some. I've noticed experienced occultists mention this.
Thank you so much
I feel like the meaning of this ritual could be meditated on endlessly. It seems to keep unfolding its secrets (or is like a key itself). Each symbol is like a mandala, for example the pentagram.
I just never tire of the lirp/lbrp and there is usually a new insight with each focused attempt. Thanks for this refocusing video! I feel like I'm forever attempting it, like a martial arts form.
Well done video. Insightful and straightforward. This is the good stuff. Subscribed
Me going the other way around somehow 🙃
Having discovered I am literally gods hands on earth, to now setting boundaries with it and empowering my human subconscious to believe that my human self also has the authority to ask and receive what it needs to survive and be healthy and happy.
Setting boundaries with the universe, particularly within myself, and having to consciously and literally communicate my needs as a human being with it, was something I did not expect… that’s how disconnected I was from my physical self. But it makes sense to me now, given the nature of my childhood and how that built my subconscious. Good to know now so I can work on it.
I don’t want to be Jesus on that cross.
I recently purchased the LBRP by Frater Abiyah and it was the best $8 I ever spent. I couldn't believe the result I got from it. Just the ritual alone was extremely helpful. It uses the standard Golden Dawn ritual.
From my 20 plus years of magical practice, I've come to realise that much of the paraphernalia of magick, both physical and psychological, are completely unnecessary.
You could literally make up a ritual on the spot, using the most ridiculous imagery imaginable and have fantastic results. Been there and done it.
The reason why rituals like the lbrp work is because people think it will, because it has a certain amount of historical and psychological weight behind it. I do my own version which is nothing like your version or the traditional one.
I personally don't really bother with any astrological, alchemical or elemental stuff because it's meaningless to me. So why would i use it?
I think a lot of the traditional magical content based around angels and demons and whatnot is outdated, outmoded crap.
But if it works for you, then it works. But not because it's the truth.
Anyone who's had enough experience of these things knows that you can get into any spiritual tradition and have spiritual experiences relevant to that tradition. I've done it with Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Norse mythology, Celtic mythology and had quite profound experiences with all of them.
It's all just made up by people.
The key factor in 99.9% of any magical operation and life in general is YOU and YOUR beliefs and how fervently YOU hold those beliefs and how well YOU can use YOUR will, intention and imagination.
Magick is like finding the right psychological placebo in order to make your mind find a reason to excuse and accept seemingly miraculous phenomena.
Anyway.... Have a nice day.

Okay most interesting, my shaman teacher told me exactly the same years ago, (actually is i more a "wiseman" to me doing Germanic magic but he studied with Sandra Ingerman so people give him a a shamanistic flavor, lol, egal) He told me that eventually rituals may not be necessary, true he can build a "circle" without needing the ceremonial... On my side I still need them but noticed that sometimes I can make "things happen" without the need of a complicated ritual, we used to do ritual lasting 2 or 3 hours, I learnt through experience that once trained this "simile state of trance induced" can be attained with a simple "Low Magick technique" but with me, I still need the paraphernalia as you wrote (nice word by the way) because I love the "ambiance of it" .. personal choice.. but what i am trying clumsily to share, is (you an laugh now) in simple words... " Yup I agree totally)
I've been having many of these same thoughts lately. "It's all just made up by people" really resonated with me because it's so easy to think that L. Ron Hubbard made up Scientology and Joseph Smith made up Mormonism, but nobody wants to believe that Moses made up YHWH-ism and Jesus and his disciples made up him being the Jewish Messiah. Having said that, I do believe all of these magicians came closer to understanding the true nature of God than any of us.
@@godlysidekick if joseph smith actually came close to god i dont think mormonism would have taken the course it has. but i understand what u mean. especially the older magicians. i highly doubt the made up their gods. at least in the way we think that would happen now. they likely felt then come as revelations during ritual. they believed in them from their inception. there was never the thought of wanting to create god. of course none of this can ve verified due to the time between us and those people. but i can agree they likely had profound experiences to shape their models of divinity. and likely felt an extreme closeness to totality. or whatever you prefer to call it

Awesome mate keep up the good work from Melbourne Australia
Thanks for this one! (I still have to become a member).
Amazing video like all your videos.Thank you for sharing the knowledge!So regarding lower magic and getting success and wealth(I'm sure noone asked you before🤣) which rituals or books would you recommend? From your personal experience. Unless i'm wrong you seem pretty succesful so you are doing something right. Daemons books are great and i have almost all of them but something seems to be missing....I've tried the rituals in them but i don't get the same 'energy' or 'feeling' like when i perform the LBRP.
Brilliant and succinct, thank you
In my personal experience with LBRP, is to "banish" any spiritual and unseen entity in my space (especially my room's environment) without any ceremonial tools and items on my person, to perform the ritual. Just only using it for that purpose, and nothing else.
With the release of this video....
I realized now that, the LBRP has a greater impact on one's personal life when performing the LBRP. And thank you for that wondrous information!
However......
Is it recommended to have some physical ceremonial tools and items, in order to perform the LBRP, properly? Due to the nature of LBRP being part of Ceremonial Magic.
No. The LBRP can be performed "properly" with no tools at all. Adding tools does no harm, and can add to the solemnity of the occasion which the practitioner might appreciate, but their absence does not affect the practice.
@@FoolishFishBooks Good to know, that it doesn't affect the over practice, without the tools to accompany the rite.
When I read one of Aleister Crowley‘s books probably the equinox he described his setup at the Boleskin House and his altar outside was 13 feet long and then he had two smaller alters up onto the top of a staircase and all of his ritualistic tools were placed in random locations and he would utilize Latin and it dawned on me that he was actually making a keyboard as in how today’s QWERTY keyboard is set to Latin he was doing the same thing with his alters and utilizing his rituals to perform functions as such as a keyboard because the keyboard is set to Latin through QWERTY and he tapped into the as above so below through the star systems above which is activated on an algorithm in the star system it’s known as Algol. To me when he tapped into the Egyptian stuff he was becoming a scribe. When he made the Toth deck he was putting the 22 major arcana with Egyptian symbols throughout his deck but the 22 major arcana which is the 21+ the fool is the same lineup as the 22 mummies and the golden parade from the 18th dynasty he was ahead of his time.
This video is 11:11, and the precise moment it ended, the time at my cellphone marked 22:22 hs 😮
Merci pour la clarification ! bien apprécié
Hi, interesting that you mentioned Damon Brand books. I have two, Magickal Protection and Archangel Magick. From the Magickal Protection book I do a form of the Banishing Sword ritual daily and it seems effective so far. However, when I did the Master Protection ritual just 1x it seemed to have an unexpected result. I had overwhelming fears at night when trying to sleep. My daughter said there are spirits in the house. I havent done the MP ritual since and am now trying to learn LBRP to do in conjunction with Banishing Sword. Not sure what your thoughts are on MP ritual but would love to hear it. After reading a few reviews and forums others (very few) have had a bad experience also. I also think I shouldn't do anymore magick in my bedroom, the energy makes it hard to sleep sometimes. Thanks for sharing love your videos!
Hi. I also found the MP ritual did this initially. I suspect what it does is unmask the spirits that are already there. Or possibly the bring to manifestation those parts of our subconscious that are causing us the issues. As I write though, there may be no difference between those two. Either way, when it happened to me, it felt particularly ‘interesting’... quite the morning that was. After that though I have found the MP Ritual brings balance and a real sense of calm. I just finished doing it as day 14 of the 33 day ritual. I start with the QC, then do the SB Ritual and MP Ritual. I’ve found it is helping.
@@zeoskydancer9574 Hi! Thank you for writing and letting me know your experience. I feel as if BS and MP rituals opened my 3rd eye as they have made me very sensitive to energy, already being an empath now I am ultra sensitive. I did the MP close to Samhain or on it so I think I lit myself up brightly on the astral lol. That night I was so paranoid I had tension in my whole body and neck, felt like at any given moment i would see something on the other side. It happened all week. It just feels like something is watching me hardcore, but not harmful, just a new sensation for me! My daughter said unexpected breezes in our home, one night we had a candle lit and it flickered and sputtered all crazy, my daughter was not afraid but she said it was a spirit. I dont believe I had anything paranormal prior to doing the MP but I do have alot of personal issues from past traumas indeed including major chakra imbalances and blockages. I come from a Catholic background amd possibly something sparked in my psychological past programming. I dont normally dabble outside of the archangels so the Nuctemeron spirits kind of made me kind of uncomfortable, not familiar. I have had some great things happen since the BS and MP however, my relationships at home have greatly improved and I dont seem to care what others think anymore, those rituals give confidence it's pretty amazing. Not sure if I'm going to try the MP again and if i do, it wont be where i sleep not sure if that has anything to do with sleeping issues but that's where i feel the strongest energy. Also, I have gone back and forth on the BS ritual replacing Yohach, Kalach, etc with the archangels. They both seem effective. I do want to learn the LBRP and try it. Also, I do the chakra chants to help the imbalances. Thanks again for your reply:)
@@GirlyTipsEtc We have very similar backgrounds and paths it seems. My first step out of the church was Buddhism, then a little Daoism followed by a lot of Kundalini/Shaiva Tantra. Manipura and Muladhara are my problem children.
Yes doing a ritual like this on Halloween which was also a blue moon would have definitely had an effect. 😁.
It’s funny you say about not doing the MP Ritual in your bedroom. I have been doing it in the living room... until today when I had no choice. Tonight could be interesting.
If Archangels seem to work for you, I think the LBRP should be pretty good. It’s my evening practice ATM. Damien Echols book High Magick takes you through it nicely. I believe our ‘host’ has reviewed it from memory. Echols version has some changes from the traditional version with more Archangels included. I find the traditional version works for me, but I’ve also used his version to some effect. Good luck with it!
@@zeoskydancer9574 you’re referring to add Metatron (above) and Sandalphon (below) to the LBRP?
Hugely useful, thank you 🙏
Wow, very clear and informative!
Very helpful! Thank you so much.
Thank You
🔥
🙏
What rituals would you recommend for low magick work preparation?
Rite of the Sword.
@@FoolishFishBooks Where can I find more information on the rite of the sword? web search didn’t turn up anything useful, which book is it from? I’m familiar with GOM’s sword banishing but I’m guessing this is different? That would be a great video topic too 🤞🏼
@@mago777 it's GoM's swords banishing I'm referring to. Well spotted 🙏
@@FoolishFishBooks thanks for confirming, I appreciate it! I also must say I’m really loving the content you create, your LBRP research of the elements and 4 archangels directions was eye opening and has changed my practice! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
You say that the LBRP shouldn't be used for low magick, or for protection before low magick, or for combining it with low magick.
I'm not sure I've understood you correctly, because I do low magick AND want to start doing LBRP, because I realize I need to learn it as a practicing magician.
Is it still okay to do the LBRP, for example, in the morning, just before doing magick from The Magickal Cashbook, 72 Angels of Magick, etc (in short, GoM's books)?
I don't see how it could be a problem, but I want to hear your viewpoint on this. Also, Damien Echols says in Angels and Archangels that we should always do the LBRP before doing any practical magick, so theres some contradiction here.
Also, Echols says that the line we trace from pentagram to pentagram should be white and you say it should be blue. Which one is better? Peace.
How does this pair with mindfulness meditation?
Can it perhaps make you more successful, or inclined to success in life? I know you said it isn't low magick, but is it a mindset shift that comes, etc ...
And most importantly, how long should I do the LBRP before advancing on to other exercises, Middle Pillar ,etc... Might of missed it, I apologize.
Keep up the great work!
One of the best explanations of the LBRP. Simple yet informative. I like the way you dispel the many misconceptions and draw more interest into the practice. Very inspiring.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I think most people really don't understand this ritual. It's aim is truly multipurpose for spiritual development of the aspirant. If you really work with this ritual you will be surprised on how well it works. I mean "really" work it not just say the ritual and then say your mastered it. If you get into the ritual, vibrate the words with frequency, arduous practice, draw and paint the Archangels for intense visualization, when you vibrate the words like you feel your entire being feels like a volcano and then the words roar from you. When you finish you know you are clean and you know and feel and see the Archangels around you.
Believe me you will never doubt this ritual and be thankful you worked with it.
The key here is work it!!
Does this ritual wreck your life? I don't want that, as I hate unpleasantness without consent. Regardless of how much 'hindsight' may make it look good for me (hindsight will do that with anything painful that doesn't kill you and seemed to make things better)
Awesome 😎 thanks brother 🙏
Thank you
I really enjoy your channel
very informative
Great content as always! Thank you 🙏🏼 (I am not Bryan btw 🤣)
Oh boy! Did I pronounce it Brian?? 😱 I'm so sorry! Thanks for pointing that out, I'll be sure to get it right next Saturday 😅
I appreciate your videos, Foolish Fish.
I would like to admit that I have stayed away from the LBRP for years because of the confusion involved and the confusing terminology.
Question: I could never understand why I would want to call up an evil spirit to begin with, then to only have to "banish" it?
And, the "binding" word has added even more confusion to magickal work involving purification.
Question: Why would I want to "bind" a spirit to myself? That's so bad and so wrong.
I've been trying to work through this confusion for years and only get confusing answers back that leave me stuck.
I have lots of videos on my channel addressing these questions.
Binding refers to binding the spirit so that it can't cause trouble, as you might bind a prisoner. Nothing to do with binding it to yourself.
Great video
I’ve practiced the LBRP on and off for years now but I never got past a few days of consistent practice. It didn’t feel like it has the oomf I need so I just jumped into all the rituals LBRP, LBRH, MP, Circulation of light plus meditation. I don’t get the reasoning to practice LBRP only for months, however I’ve been on the spiritual path for years and I’m a practicing medium and spiritual healer so I felt confident to just jump right in because I’m used to energy work. Great video as always! Ps: I’m cooking spaghetti while watching this!
Thank you, great video.
Thanks for this!
Thank you muchly. I had just assumed . . . 😉
