(There is Enochian in the Openings, but not this particular ritual.)Īs for the greater Golden Dawn/Ritual Magick community not using the Opening by Watchtower more often, I would venture the guess that they are taking their cue from what they see other people doing. Therefore, I do not spend a lot of time working with it. The kicker is that the Opening by Watchtower is not part of any of the Golden Dawn Openings that my Order uses. (The use of the room by the cats do not count.though occasionally I do wonder what they are doing with the simple Enochian Chess set.)Īnd most of my rituals start with the proper Opening of the Grade that I am working in. But I teach that if your ritual room is used for something else, then one really should do the Lesser Rituals of Banishment. So here is my personal answer, I generally skip the LBRP and LBRH in my own workspace it is used for lodge and ritual related work mainly, so I only occasionally have to clean up after a non-ritual use. For that matter, I am not sure if I am in the context that he is talking about. I am not sure that I have a good answer for him. (For the sure-to-stumble-upon-this-post newbie: LBRP-Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram LBRH-Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram Modern Magick is the title of a book by Donald Michael Kraig, which has became the core textbook for a lot of people.) Jason Miller, over on his blog, just asked why all the ritual outlines we see tend to start with LBRP or LBRH, and not the Opening by Watchtower, when doing practical magic in the Golden Dawn/Modern Magick context.
