A Neo-Enochian
Angel Summoning
What You Will Need
To perform a neo-Enochian summoning ritual, you will need the following tools:198
For incense, you can use Martial incense for Fire, Lunar incense for Water, Mercury incense for Air, and Saturn incense for Earth (though I find Saturn incense too noxious for Earth, so I use patchouli instead).
Hang the four Watchtower tablets around your working space. The Oro Tablet will hang in the east, the Mph Tablet in the west, the Oip Tablet in the south, and the Mor Tablet in the north.
Set your altar in the center of your working space. Place the four elemental weapons on the top—Air Dagger toward the east, Water Chalice toward the west, Fire Wand toward the south, and Earth Pentacle toward the north. Arrange the four elemental substances upon the altar so they are in the same quarters as the elemental weapons. The censer should be placed between the eastern and southern sides. Place the Table of Union in the center, and place the two pillar candles on either side of it: the white candle on the right/southern side, and the black one on the left/northern side.
Upon the Table of Union place the truncated pyramid, sphinx, and Coptic deity. If you have drawn these in two dimensions, place the sphinx beneath the drawing of the pyramid. The Coptic deity should rest just to the east of the pyramid. If you have fashioned them in three dimensions, place the sphinx inside the pyramid and position the deity on the pyramid’s top.
The Summoning Ceremony
Opening the Temple
Light all candles and the elemental incense. Take up the lotus wand, holding it by the lowest band of black, and move to the north-east corner of the temple. Face the altar and proclaim, “Hekas, hekas, este bebeloi (Far, far from this place be the profane)!”
Return to the altar and stand on its west side facing the east. Take the magickal sword and perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.199
Having returned to the altar, use the lotus wand (pointing the black end forward) to perform the Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram.
Return to the altar once more. Take up the chalice full of water and proceed clockwise around your temple one time, sprinkling the water in each of the four quarters while saying, “So therefore first, the Priest(ess) who governeth the works of Fire must sprinkle with the lustral waters of the loud, resounding sea.”
Return the chalice to the altar and take up the censer. Proceed clockwise around the temple once more, censing the four quarters while saying, “And when, after all the phantoms have vanished, thou shalt see that holy and formless Fire, that Fire which darts and flashes through the hidden depths of the universe. Hear thou the voice of Fire!”
Return the censer to the altar and grasp the lotus wand by the uppermost band of white. Move to the east, then proceed clockwise around your temple space three times, making the Sign of the Enterer each time you pass the east.
Return again to the altar, raise your arms high, and perform the Adoration to the Lord of the Universe:
“Holy art Thou, Lord of the Universe!” (Sign of the Enterer)
“Holy art Thou, whom Nature hath not formed!” (Sign of the Enterer)
“Holy art Thou, the vast and the mighty one!” (Sign of the Enterer)
“Lord of the Light and of the Darkness.” (Sign of Silence)
Invocations
Now grasp the lotus wand by the band that represents the element you wish to invoke. (The band of Leo for Fire, the band of Scorpio for Water, of Aquarius for Air, or that of Taurus for Earth.) Perform the Greater Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram for the proper element.
Standing at the altar once again, facing east, grasp the Lotus Wand by the upper white band. Perform the sign of the Rending of the Veil. Then raise your hands to heaven and recite the first and second Angelical Callings, invoking the Table of Union.
Remain at the altar, facing eastward. Raise your hands high and recite an invocation to the Coptic god who rules the pyramid upon the altar. It should ask him or her to be present during your work and to bring to you the angel or angels you wish to summon. The following is an example:
Invocation of the Coptic God
I invoke thee (name), thou Great God(dess) who ruleth in the realm of (element/sub-element). Be thou present with me, and be thou the guardian of this mystic sphere. Keep far removed the evil and the unbalanced and look with favor upon this work. In the three great and secret names of God that ruleth the (directional)200 quadrangle, (three supreme divine names of Watchtower), open the gates of the (direction) and bring to me the holy angel(s) (names) so that (he/they) will appear before me visibly and speak to me with an audible voice. Keep this sphere pure and holy so the angels of God will be moved to appear and reveal unto me the mysteries of their creation.
Now put aside the lotus wand and take up the weapon of the element you are invoking. Move clockwise around the temple until you are facing the appropriate Watchtower. Make the sign of the Rending of the Veil, then recite the call assigned to the Watchtower (number three, four, five, or six).
Now recite an invocation of the Watchtower’s king, such as the following:
Invocation of the Watchtower King
In the three secret and holy names of God born upon the banners of the (direction), (three supreme divine names of Watchtower), and by the sacred letters of the mystical Table of Union (tablet letters)201, I invoke the Great King of the (directional) quadrangle, (name). (Vibrate the name of the king while tracing a spiral over the letters of his name before you.) Thou who art the overseer and protector of the (directional) quarter of the universe, add the power and virtues of (element) to this work and send the angel(s) (names) that they may reveal unto me the mysteries of their creation.
Then, if you are working with one of the three mixed sub-elements, recite the call associated with its subquadrant. (You do not need to do this if you are working with Fire of Fire, Water of Water, Air of Air, or Earth of Earth.)
Continue with an invocation of the angel(s) you are summoning by the name of their archangel(s) and the two divine names of the Calvary Cross (remember one name is for calling and the other is for commanding).
Invocation of the Archangel
O archangel (name), who rulest and governeth in the infinite realm of (element/sub-element),202 who chargeth your angels to manifest the virtues of your power upon the physical world, hear my call in the exalted name (calling name) and send forth the holy angel (name) to this sacred place. In the mighty name (commanding name), empower him and charge him to appear visibly before me, to speak audibly to me and to reveal unto me whatsoever I desire.
Invocation of the Servient Angel
I invoke, summon, and call ye forth, thou great angel (name)by the virtue and power of your archangel (name) and by the most holy name (calling name) written upon the foundations of the world. In and by these names, and by the highest names of God born upon the banners of the (direction), (three supreme divine names of Watchtower), and by the Great Elemental King (name), and by the sacred letters of the mystical Table of Union (tablet letters), I call ye from thy home and habitation in the astral realm of (element/sub-element). And I command you in the irresistible divine name (commanding name) to appear before me, speak with me, answer my questions, and accomplish my desires. By all of these names rehearsed, and by the power thereby vested in me and within this elemental weapon (here hold the weapon aloft) and within the sacred scepter of the lotus, so mote it be!
Repeat the two invocations above, one for the archangel and one for the servient angel, for each angel you wish to call from the subquadrant. Then repeat the same two invocations in each of the remaining three quarters of the temple space, moving clockwise to each new quarter and ending again at the Watchtower you have opened.
Finally, return to the altar, standing so that you are facing the Watchtower with the altar between you and it. Replace the elemental weapon on the altar and take up the lotus wand. Hold it by the white band of Spirit and fix your attention upon the truncated pyramid before you. Recite a final prayer to the Coptic deity:
O (name), Lord/Lady of the pyramid of (element/sub-
element) by whose names and images have I invoked the angels of the mighty Watchtowers of the universe, make unto me a strong seething. Open my eyes and my ears to the visions and voices of the Holy Ones. Before I was blind, but now I see! I once was deaf, but now I hear! Move, therefore, move and appear and open unto me the mysteries of creation. Strengthen and inspire me that I may enter in and become a partaker of the secrets of the Light Divine.
At last, keeping your focus upon the truncated pyramid before you, welcome the summoned angel(s) and address them as you will. Receive their answers or any visions they give you. When you are done, the angel(s) will depart of their own accord.
Closing the Temple
When you are done with your working, say prayers of thanksgiving to the entities you have invoked in the working. Stand before the Watchtower to thank the angels summoned therefrom, and then perform the sign of the Closing of the Veil. Return to the altar, face east to thank the Coptic deity, and make the sign of the Closing of the Veil once more.
Lay aside the lotus wand. Take up the chalice, and then the censer, and purify the temple with water and fire exactly as was done in the opening.
Having finished the purification, take up the lotus wand by the white band and move to the east. Proceed counterclockwise around the temple three times, making the Sign of the Enterer each time you pass the east.
Return to the altar and perform again the Adoration to the Lord of the Universe.
Proclaim, “I now release any and all spirits who have been entrapped by this ceremony and are not needed in its operation. Go with the blessings of Yeheshua and Yehovasha. Return to your homes and habitations. May there be peace between me and thee, and may ye be always ready to come when ye are called!” (Make the sign of the Closing of the Veil.)
If you feel it is necessary, you may end by taking up the Sword and performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. However, I rarely suggest doing this, especially if you are fortunate enough to have an established space or room for ritual that others will not need to use after you are done.
Finally proclaim, “I now declare this temple duly closed. So mote it be!”
