Secrets of Solomonic Magick revealed

Ready to trade vague “energy work” for a grounded approach that actually moves the needle? We sit down with Man of Madim to unpack Solomonic magic as a living, results‑driven system built on lawful authority, clean protocol, and sharp tools—from circles and triangles to psalms and pentacles. If you’ve wondered why magicians banish at night, invoke at dawn, and obsess over language and cleanliness, this is your field guide.

We trace the roots from Golden Dawn ritual practice to hands‑on spirit work, clarifying what the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram does, how archangelic names shape the space, and why “binding” reads more like contract than combat. You’ll hear how constraining spirits to a triangle or crystal keeps focus, how Latin and Hebrew can intensify contact, and why using words you truly believe matters for safety and clarity. Preparation isn’t performative—fasting, hyssop baths, and abstinence reduce friction, support trance, and signal respect. We also get candid about the messy middle: operations that pivot, spirits that redirect plans, and the practical moves that keep you composed.

For your bookshelf and altar, we highlight the Key of Solomon the King (Joseph H. Peterson) for consecrations, the Heptameron for ritual structure, and Golden Dawn correspondences to build planetary fluency. On ethics, we challenge the knee‑jerk “revenge” trope, showing how divination, timing, and your spiritual court often decide the path forward. And we tackle spiritual pride—how authority can curdle into ego, why boundaries matter, and how to keep your practice effective without playing guru. Along the way, we touch Crowley and Franz Bardon, noting what modern revivalism adds and where Solomonic work stays resolutely spirit‑centric.

If you want a clear map to safer, cleaner, and more effective Solomonic operations—banish, invoke, constrain, charge, and close—you’ll find it here. Listen, take notes, and tell us: where do you stand on invocation vs banishing, and which tool has changed your practice the most?

Damn, can you sure you ain't working no spell on me, bro? Oh man, what is wrong with me today, man? Peace, man. How you doing, brother?

SPEAKER_04 1:43

I'm good. How are you? Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

All is well, man. It's been a while, man. What you been up to, man?

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Uh, you know, same old, same old work I'm a roll. Um, work. Um, yeah, that's that's that's pretty much work. Uh a few uh practical practice here and there, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

Oh my bad, man. What you said? Repeat that.

SPEAKER_03 2:10

Trying to chill lately.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Uh putting a few people in jars, man. You know, teach people a lesson, like you mess with me. Him, him, Saladim. That's it.

SPEAKER_04 2:20

Yeah, no, no, never, never.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

I'm you, brother. So last time we we had you on here, we talked about ceremonial magic, and we we spoke a little bit about grimoirs. We touched on uh a lot of things briefly, but we know we're gonna go more into a few things today, right? I got a few questions prepped, but I'm gonna ask you this because offline we were talking about, you know, people learning about um certain acts of ceremonial magic and rituals that take place. And I I touched on a the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram. Can can you can you um elaborate on that for the for the guests? What what is that?

SPEAKER_03 2:58

Um so I I'm pretty sure that it might differ from temple to temple if we're talking about uh Golden Dawn temples.

SPEAKER_00 3:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

But I think most Golden Dawn protect practitioners have uh general consensus on what it does. So the Golden Dawn came up came around in you know the Victorian age, so 1888 was the official date, you know, give or take. And during this time, there was a lot of Eastern practices that were coming to surface, a lot of psychology was coming to surface, so magic started to take on a lot of these traits. Yeah, and so before the Golden Dawn, there wasn't a lot of energy talk. Well, when Golden Dawn came along, there was a lot of uh psychological and energetic aspects that were injected into magic, yeah, or at least to help explain. So the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram, it simply put is supposed to banish energies or forces, whatever it may be, within that area. But to go a little deeper into what I was taught, it more so has to do with your auric field, or they or we used to call it the field of sensation. So it banishes all of these those icky things that you accumulate throughout the day, throughout the week, and it banishes from your field of sensation or your auric field can go beyond that to a certain extent. So then they have greater uh rituals of the pentagram and and so forth. Um within my grades, I didn't make it past um um practicus, so therefore I never learned like the supreme uh ritual, the pentagram, and and the greater ritual and all those, those are more inner order things.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:35

Um but when it came to the lesser uh pentagram or like the uh the L-I-R-P or the LBR, we used to call it the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram or the lesser invocation ritual of the pentagram. So one you're invoking, you're calling down, and then the other banishing is and you're banishing away. So um you were supposed to pretty much do these every day to kind of cleanse your field of sensation throughout the grade. So you know, you're kind of prepping yourself for those initiations. But yeah, in general, it's a it's a banishing ritual.

Invoking vs Banishing And Archangels

SPEAKER_01 6:16

Got you. Because I I've um I've seen it done. I and I have done it myself before, right? As you said, there's a greater. I don't know if the greater is the one where you go in the four in all four directions. I know you, you know, I don't know if it's safe to give people that uh um a demonstration on how it does. I don't know if it's okay or not, but you know, you you go through the process of you know writing it all like above it on your on your figure, and you can go to every direction. So it's a particular name of archangel, and that's something I know people use, as you said, to cleanse their auric, the auric energy feel. It's best to do it when before going to bed, too.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

Yeah, um, do it before that we it it depends on there, there's so many things that change throughout tradition, and I'm sure there's gonna be some people who are like golden dawners who would listen to what I'm saying and be like, that's not how we do it, that's not how they traditionally did it. But the lesser ritual of the pentagram wasn't exactly an everyday thing that got made popular as time went on. Um, but yeah, before you go to bed, it's great. And invocation uh ritual of the pentagram is great at the beginning of the day. Um, but yeah, as you're saying, the four archangels, it's kind of based on an old nighttime uh Jewish prayer of you know, Michael to the right to my right side, or you know you're able to my left side. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, um to play on that, but yeah, and then there's other things like the sign of the enter and the sign uh the sign of Hippocrates where you shush and all of these that are put into it. Um, and then you of course have the sword or or the double wand of power. There's all different little things, but you know, yeah, you have your divine names, hey, Hey, Agla, Ada Night. Yeah. Shh too much.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

This is all very messing around with people. It's all published, people. We just mess with you. I like to add excitement, like you know, yeah. You got your Agla, which is just a it's just a four um letter acronym for the names of the archangels, which you could say is you know, um Adunai Gibralt Leolam Adunai, right?

SPEAKER_03 8:31

No, no, it's Adonai Gibbor. Um God is God is mighty forever.

SPEAKER_01 8:35

Yeah, God mighty forever. So yeah, yeah, that's good. All right, so I'm glad we got that out of the way. What distinguish what distinguishes Solomonic magic from folk magic or sorcery?

SPEAKER_03 8:47

Oh, um, nothing really distinguishes it too much. Like, if you look into Solomonic magic, if you were to read through the grimoires of the Solomonic corpus, meaning like the grimoires that you would consider to be Solomonic, a lot of the spell work in those, a lot of the workings isn't very far from folk practices of Europe. Um, you had a lot of cunning people in their small villages that would practice cunning folk magic and they would implement Solomonic technology. Um so it's not very far from it. I guess to a certain extent, if we're talking about context of time, there was a there was a time where not everyone could write or read or have the money to be able to afford, you know, just writing things, like writing utensils or or swords and cloaks, and it was very much a priestly underground crazy thing. So I guess that's where it got separated from the folk aspect. So rather being something that was implemented in a folk practice, it was at the other end, people who could afford to read and write and that did that for a job, it that would be more on the learned magic side, gotcha, you know. So it I guess that's really what kind of separated learned magic from folk magic was people who were elites, quote unquote, and then people who were living now in the countryside.

Solomonic vs Folk Magic

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Gotcha. Yeah, I noticed that. And in quite a few books, they mentioned that, like, you know, people were part of particular fraternities, or if not, as you say, the folk magic was done like on the countryside outside, where they did it amongst themselves. Which I, you know, there's there's always that distinguish, that this that distinguishing class of things that take place, you know, amongst human nature. Like, if you're not part of this, they are not because you know, I believe they believe that the um the fraternal orders had like a process of protocol that they followed, and that the folk people didn't have that, you know. But to each their own man, I I think both work. We have somebody here that's saying John D would be one on the on the learned magic.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

John D would be on because he for sure had like one of the biggest occult libraries in his time, and he I think he was a court astrologer for Queen Elizabeth. I I I don't know which one. I you don't quote me on that one or Victoria or something along that, but yeah, he was a he uh was a court astrologer for one of those queens. Um I actually don't know too much about Inoke Magic. I just purchased some books on it, uh, because it's a whole nother world. But yeah, he for sure would have been on the learned side because he had the resources. Um yeah, and usually folk magic had a lot to do with like making sure your crops grew and making sure your cattle healthy, you know.

SPEAKER_01 12:11

Yeah, that was that was a lot of um the work of um that was a lot of um the work of who was it again? Um what's that guy? Albertus Magnus was doing that stuff like that in his book. He was talking about like stuff for your crops, what to do for your crops, if they get if your cow gets sick, and because I got the book, and some of the rituals you look at him like I'm not gonna find a majority of these ingredients you want me to look for. Look for look for a bat wing, look for this and that, but it's kind of weird.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

All right, got you. Um from where do from where does um magicians authority come in Solomonic practice? Like who's the authoritative figure?

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Um that so Solomonic magic at its core is really Christian magic. Yeah, uh so the authority comes from from the Christian God. Uh yeah, it's you know, angels, angelic names, divine names, the Christian God, Yodhe Vavhe, Jehovah. That is where the authority comes from. So that's why when you see circles, you will see divine names written in Hebrew or or um passing the river fonts or some different type of iteration of Hebrew. Um, or you'll see just even Greek or Latin names that have been Hebrew names transliterated. So you you you you'll see all those names on swords, on wands, uh, on the circle. That it's really that's where all the authority comes from. And not only just that, but also having faith in that authority and not just saying prayers just to say it, but also believing that there is power within the scriptures that you're reading.

Authority, Divine Names, And Circles

SPEAKER_01 14:14

I noticed that I do, because you know, some of the swords, you know, I may come across will have like the six-pointed star on there. And you know, before people assume that's you know, that deals with a particular nation, that's most likely solemn, like you get again, Solomonic, it also has a meaning behind it, you know. Uh the seal, like you know, as above, so is below. I keep repeating, but that's a common these magical systems. And it's true. A lot of them do start off with using the the the psalms, certain passages within the Bible, and um that's pretty much it, like old testament stuff. Yeah, I know I noticed that.

SPEAKER_03 14:51

So yeah, psalm magic is huge. I I use psalms and and any, I mean, scriptures are a big part of my practice when I'm formulating ritual or spell work. There is for sure biblical scripture that I implement pretty pretty much every corner of it, you know.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

Definitely, and people don't know that Bible, man, is a is a spell book itself. I'm not trying to I don't want no any Christians to come angry with me and say you're saying something that's blasphemous. No, I'm not being blasphemous. In reality, it is. That book is a book of power. The book of um, as the elder C. L. Freeman said, the book of Psalms is basically scrambled words of scrambled letters of the word lamps. Because you see, candle magic, we keep using the psalms. We gotta refer to the psalm. This song for particular issue, read that song for particular issue, and then you know, certain keys are within that psalm that can make things manifest for you as well. That's another topic. Certain words, yeah. Um why must spirits be constrained in the name of God?

SPEAKER_03 15:58

Um, so to constrain, to bind, those are all very harsh words today.

unknown 16:09

Oh man.

SPEAKER_03 16:11

Um so if we're looking in context of back then, it it's it's kind of like a conceived notion that a lot of these people that were writing these grimoires and manuscripts, they like to use a lot of legalistic language. Yeah, so when they use the word bind, it is more so means like bound by a contract, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

Right? You're right.

SPEAKER_03 16:37

Um, and to constrain is actually means within the technology of psalmonic magic, is to constrain a spirit to the triangle, constrain the spirit to some type of scrying apparatus like the crystal, yes, or the black mirror. It really means to keep it's a focal point for that spirit. So it's the way, so if you were to see like with the Arsgoatia, they have the triangle, and then they have the divine names around it, and then they have Mikhail within it as well. Yeah, so this is supposed to act to constrain the spirit as in keeping the spirit at a focal point rather than running amok around the circle or your house. Exactly. Um so if you look at the heptameron, which is one of the older grimoires, you don't have a crystal, you don't have a triangle, it's just a retinue of spirits coming to the outside of your circle. And me and my scrying partner, we've done operations with the heptameron uh formula, and that's exactly what you get. You get a retinue of spirits that are around the circle. And while using a crystal and constraining them to the crystal, they usually stay within that focal point.

unknown 18:05

Got you.

Binding, Triangles, And Scrying Focus

SPEAKER_03 18:06

So that is what constraining means. Now, when we use the names of God and divine names and angelic names, that's just pretty much saying you are going to this focal point in the name of God, in the name of a higher authority. Whether the name was Odin or Zeus, it's just some type of higher divine power that holds agency over cosmic law, and they abide by that. No matter what, everything abides by that. The elements abide by laws, we abide by laws. Yes, so do the worst demons.

SPEAKER_01 18:45

Got you. And and I'm glad that you do you do you you have mentioned that about you know the circle basically is a perimeter, like you said, a focal point that keeps the energy can constrained. Oh, binding, you know, that's the language that they that they use because they got to speak with authority to keep these spirits in um checks, you know, make sure they don't run, like you said, run a muck. And it and it's also uh protection barrier. There are times, you know, whenever you're doing work for the positive, the negative does show up as well.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

Yeah, it it it you got your onlookers, you got your your curious things, like we'll do operations, and every now and then, you know, my scribe will see something pop up in the corner, like, what's what's that? That's something that's a little weird. It's it's staying at the edge of the circle, yeah, but it is something that's kind of out of the ordinary. So you do have passerbys for sure.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Got you. Uh you know, just go off tangent real quick, uh, off off veer, veer off a little bit. Um, whenever you're performing an operation, right? You ever find it like sometime the work what you plan on doing somehow take a turn on its own, like out of nowhere, like, yo, what's going on? Like, I my intentions were to do this, A, B, and C. Now I'm doing EF, you know, something like came about on its own. Like you see the work shift on its own, like upon the operation, it just shifts on its own.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

So, with I mean, with with spirits, you never exactly know. Because that's how that's what kind of tells you that they are independent agents, yeah, because you can have your goal or a direction, and they might take it in a totally different direction that you weren't planning on. Like the last invocation or conjuration we had done with Raphael. We were looking to just kind of make some type of contact, but it turned out to be something more of like be next time you come to me, I want you to not only be like in the proper protocol, but also have these rings for me. I want you certain rings. And and my scribe, who's who's also my partner and wife, she she had a vision of these rings and she actually made them. So that is a sort of uh, I don't know if that answers your question, but it kind of went in a direction that we really weren't expecting, and it that's part of conjuring spirits. You kind of got to stay on your toes, you know, rely on those foundations of of magic to know, like, okay, I see where this is going. And uh we had enough training to where you know what questions to ask next or how to go about it in the future.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

It ties back to what you said too, using the scripture to put to protect yourself as your foundation. Because, you know, as you say, these tick, these um, these genius, these how come divine energies somehow, like you say, take their mind on their own. Like they do what they want to do. Like we we think. Controlling them, but they do what they want, so we got to stand on scripture. There are times you gotta run back to particular prayer with the scripture to say, We're going back to Jesus, you're not gonna do this with me. You know, like me personally, I say Psalm 23. I'm like, hey, yeah, we're going back here. Like, you're gonna follow. Yeah, yeah.

Operations In Motion And Raphael’s Rings

SPEAKER_03 22:19

Yeah, Psalm 23 is a very powerful one. A lot of psalms. I like I like the Hail Marys. Hail Marys have a very powerful effect, you know. Our fathers, um say it in Latin. Uh, you know, but yeah, the those sure are very strong ones. Psalm 23 is is a go-to as well.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Do you do you say it in Latin?

SPEAKER_03 22:41

No, no, no. I I don't say um I I'll tell you, like the first uh Solomonic rites that I did when I was kind of shifting from Golden Dawn to Solomonic Magic, I did try using Latin, and that's when I I did there was some stuff that happened for sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Uh it's real, it gets wild.

SPEAKER_03 23:03

Yeah, but yeah. Latin will like use Greek, Latin, Hebrew, it'll bring some stuff out, but I I like to know what I'm saying. Yeah, totally, you know, have uh, you know, my my wits about my words, so I I don't really have a problem using English, but yeah, no, if you're using Latin, it for sure get it gets a little uh funky. Got you.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

All right, we're gonna get into the process of preparation and discipline before we get before we begin an operation, right? Tell us um the process of purification, whether it's through spiritual cleansing of a bath or fasting. Why is that why is why is that always emphasized before any operation?

SPEAKER_03 23:49

You know it's funny because you can look through a lot of different cultures that magic is throughout many different cultures from east to west, and there's always something of purification in fasting. I think it from what I've read, it harkens back to things that you eat will come through in your pores. And like so I know that there are certain Buddhist diets where they won't heat eat like quote unquote hot ingredients because they're hot spiritually, like garlic, you know, or or certain album, onion. Yeah, um and also it it will come through your skin, it'll come through your pores, and so there's this, you know, theory that spirits can't see well, but they can smell very well, so you don't want to be stinking like garlic and onions. Yeah, so that comes down to the fasting, and also there's other things like when you are hungry and you've and you've kind of malnourished yourself to a certain extent, it's easier to go into a trance.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Exactly. Yeah, that's true.

Latin, Language, And Practical Protections

SPEAKER_03 25:08

But that's we're we're disregarding people who might have like blood sugar problems and they can't not eat, and so what they can't practice magic now because they can't fast, you know. So I for me when it comes to fasting, it's very much a practical thing of you don't want the bubble guts where you're in a four-hour conjuration. That's a fact, you know, it's it's very much I I was talking about the conjuration with poor Rafael um that I did not long ago, and we did this off the cuff. We I had just eaten that day, and I remember while she was scrying and having vision going through visions. I had a little bit of a a burp in the mouth, and when I burped a little bit, yeah, like she caught on to that, and Rafael caught on to that, was like, nah, none of that. Yeah, it throw things off, like it's just like yeah, that is like, and I tried to hide it, but it was like, nah, you you you need to come prepared. So I think it does have a lot to do with cleanliness, being clean within, without, not being like full of meat and these hot ingredients that are gonna make you sweat and smell. Yeah, uh, and uh that goes along with the spiritual cleansing of bet of bathing. You know, you you say your psalms, you say, you know, purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be white or clean.

SPEAKER_04 26:42

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 26:43

Um, you know, I actually have a hyssop frankincense and mirrors soap that I buy that I like to use. Get out of here.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

You're copying me, man. I got that too.

SPEAKER_03 26:55

All of this has to go with cleanliness, of course, but then there's the spiritual side of it, is like you you're getting in the mind state, you know, you're preparing yourself. Usually there's a seven-day preparation for these inner grimoires. I don't always go by that because I'm pretty practical and off the cuff, but yeah, you know, that it's really about getting yourself into mindset. You're going through that bath, you're putting on your vestments, you're making yourself smell nice. It's all you're you're going on a date, you're going on a business interview, you know, you're you're preparing yourself.

SPEAKER_01 27:27

Let's let's also add something you have to abstain from sexual relations. That's why you know, there's sometimes you'd be like, damn, I gotta do this tomorrow. Like, all right, you know, it's gonna be you know what? It's what's what's what's what's four more days, man. Come on, it's it's almost done.

SPEAKER_03 27:43

Like, you know, like I gotta I know some traditions are very like strict about that, you know. Um, because I know what I don't know exactly if it's um like Lukumi, where there's like a whole year of having to wear white white after initiation. I don't know if that's the correct uh tradition, but um, I know there's some protocols that are very strict about it. Uh as for abstinence, you know, even in the ritual of the Abermelon, like it's it says, like, oh, you have to remain remain abstinent, but hey, if it's with your wife, then okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:20

Yeah, yeah, I heard that too. You've like, you know what I'm saying? Wife be looking at you, you're like, come on, like focus on this tomorrow. Like, can you wait?

SPEAKER_03 28:32

I will I will say that it's best to wait a little bit after the act so you're not going into it spiritually hot, you know. You know, kind of yeah, just let some time pass before you visit your your altar. You don't want to go there after you're all sweating and all out of all out of place, right?

Purification, Fasting, And Cleanliness

SPEAKER_01 28:54

You know, still got the DNA. You know what? Let me stop DNA all over the body over here. About to touch the tools on your altar looking crazy. Yeah, you bet you better go hop in that shower and get some salt water like on that hitsop and purify yourself and come in reverence. You better come in reverence. That's dope. So that's that's what all that's part of the psychological, spiritual, physical aspect of cleanliness and aura, all that goes hand in hand.

SPEAKER_04 29:21

Again, a lot of factors, a lot of factors for sure.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

What what inner changes indicate that you are that you have readiness to get involved in these spiritual practices? How can one be like, all right, I I believe I'm ready. I have been doing the reading, I haven't doing the discipline. So how do I know I'm ready?

SPEAKER_03 29:41

You never really know you're ready until you start doing it. It's kind of one of those things where like the late great Jake Stratton Kent said, jump into that circle and get your fingers burned. Because you're never going to be able to know if you're ready or how to go about it until you're there dancing with the devil. You know, like it's you know, and that's just uh that sound a little bleak to say it like that, but it does, man.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

They can think with some Illuminati people or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 30:15

But it's you know, it's just a way of saying it's like you never know until you're actually thinking on your toes and doing it, and that's when you start to learn the ins and the outs. Uh that's when you start to learn the ritual flow. Because at first, when you're trying to perform these rites, it's it's gonna be a little clunky. You're gonna think, oh, I should have done this before that. You're gonna add all these things that later on you're gonna extract out of it and kind of make it more simple. It's you it's just getting into the circle and going at it. Now, what there are some fundamentals, I think, depending on what you're trying to practice. If you're trying to get into witchcraft, you're not gonna need to learn Hebrew, um, or have to say Hebrew uh alphabet. But if you're trying to read grimoires and kind of understand them, it's going to help to know a little bit of your Hebrew alphabet and and also the divine names. So learning that in the Golden Dawn really helped me when it came to the grimoires and knowing, like, oh, I can I understand all of these names in the circle of the Ars Gouesha, starting with the Chail Ha Kadesh and the uh Rashid Ha Gigalim, and all these. I I understand, I know what these mean now. I know these angelic choirs. Um, so things like that are for sure helpful. They're they're great tools. Your correspondences, you know, what's Mars, what's the color of Mars? Iron or steel, what's the metal of Jupiter? Tin. What's the color of Jupiter? Blue. All of these things are a toolbox for you for when you do step into the circle. As for knowing if you are ready, you won't know until you actually start going at it and end up burning yourself a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

I like, I like how you I like how you just dropped that right there, the planetary um the planetary uh attributes and corresponding colors. Oh yeah. And for those who know today is today is Tuesday, it deals with Mars. Right? Is it is Mars colors red? It's a day of passion. You know, I think they do work like I think some people always assume that it's war that you deal with on these days, which is true. People do things for defense and protection and you know, cleansing and forcing something. Is that if you say something passionate? So they get your red candle, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:42

No, passion for sure. Uh, Mars and Venus are very much on the same like level of that passion and being fiery. Uh, but but like there's a lot of martial aspects and things that don't exactly have to do with Mars. So, like, love is considered Venusian, but very passionate, active love has a very martial quality to it because you're willing to fight for it, right? So you find these types of uh planetary qualities throughout things that you won't exactly attribute to that planet, but yeah, um Mars, you could it it is usually the connotations of war and battle and and things like that, but if you're really trying to you know put some fire into a spell and really make it active, activate it, monstrual energy is also great for that.

SPEAKER_01 33:34

So sounds like a Leo. Sounds like Leo's to give you like that. Um that's dope, brother. So uh what tools, what what are external tools will aid you and will aid you in the in the in your sense of consciousness with dealing with this? Like what books can we can we go out there and seek? What what books? Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm overlooked. What books can we can one go out there and purchase? Oh, the Solomonic magic.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

Well, of course, there's the grimoires, um and there's different different grimoires. Not all every grimoire is Solomonic. Usually the a Solomonic grimoire will have the uh letter of Solomon to his son Roboam, and that is kind of the literary, you know, sign of a Solomonic grimoire. Because it could be it could be Faustian, and you're gonna have things that look Solomonic, it could be Enochian, it's gonna have things that look Solomonic, but it's not, you know. Um, so going back to your question, what books, uh, and obviously the grimoire. So, like the key of Solomon the King.

SPEAKER_01 34:48

Uh the greater or the lesser.

SPEAKER_03 34:51

Uh the the greater is for sure. So the greater and the lesser key was kind of like a the the greater key was uh a term that was brought out by default by I think A E Waite, who called it the greater, yeah, as opposing the lesser or the little key of Solomon, which was the lamegatin. Um here's the key of Solomon the King, which you would consider the greater key. And it is it was translated by you know Samuel McGregor Mathers, but Joseph H. Peterson's version is my favorite one because he took all the pentacles and really modified them and made them clear, and that is where you will find all of your protocols for consecration. Read through all those, you kind of really get a gist of how to consecrate something. You you need your holy water, you you need your your you need your your words of power, so like your incantation, your biblical verses, whatever it may be. And once you learn how to consecrate, then you at the very beginning of the book you have your ritual structure. Now, ritual structure can can vary between different grimoires, but if you're looking for a very generic ritual structure, look into the heptameron. And the heptameron is where you got the where the arsgoatia pretty much lifted its conjurations from.

SPEAKER_01 36:35

What's that? Some crazy stuff you got on? What's that?

SPEAKER_03 36:38

Oh, the the Arsgoacia. It's just all of the 72 uh uh seals and all the uh the demons. Um man, but um, yeah, it's just it's just kitschy novelty fun, you know.

SPEAKER_01 36:55

I know that.

Readiness, Fundamentals, And Planetary Keys

SPEAKER_03 36:57

But um, yeah, so the heptameron it really has that generic ritual structure that you follow where you consecrate everything, you know, you purify yourself, you wash yourself, then you um then you go, you do your invocations and your conjurations, your charge or petition to the spirits, and then your license to depart. That could there's all different types of things that you could add into that, but that is your pretty much your general layout of a ritual, and you'll find that in a heptameron. So the key of Solomon the King will get will teach you how to consecrate heptameron will teach you how to conduct a ritual.

SPEAKER_01 37:38

Now all in the same book or separate books, separate books, separate books.

SPEAKER_03 37:43

The heptameron, if you're looking to get the heptameron, I I I suggest to get the uh elucidation of necromancy or uh elucidarium dicromanticae, I believe in Latin. I might be jumbling that up, but um yeah, the elucidation of necromancy, and that has the heptameron, and it has the other few manuscripts that are part of that same corpus, but that is where you can learn ritual, key of Solomon the King, learn consecration and all of the things to prepare, those will are great tools to have in your box. They'll they'll give you all of the basics and all the foundations. Now, when it comes to like all of the correspondences and things like that, I still recommend the green brick, uh, the uh in the golden dawn tradition, which is the initiation into the golden dawn system by um Sheik and Tabitha Cicero. Uh Chick, Chick Cicero. I've got announced.

SPEAKER_01 38:50

I don't worry, I'm I'm trying to get it in the chat for the people, man. If you can send it to me, I'll put it up there for them so they could go out there and look it. I know they can after the show, they're gonna be like, we need those books.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

But we call it the Green Brick because it's a big old book and it has all of the initiations from uh from neophyte all the way to philosophists, and has all of the knowledge lectures. And within these knowledge lectures is where you're going to find all of your correspondences, associations, um, you know, all of your cabalistic with a cue um teachings, uh basic astrology, basic geomancy, all of these very basic magical techniques that you will be able to implement later on down the path. Got you.

SPEAKER_01 39:34

That's so dope, man. I love how you express it. I love how you expressed that and explained it. Very articulate. Why is revenge discouraging in classical text or Salomonic magic?

Toolkits: Grimoires, Heptameron, Golden Dawn

SPEAKER_03 39:48

Um discouraged. I I don't know if it's really discouraged in Salemonic magic. It's actually there's actually a lot of different spirits that you can appeal to for like making wounds fester or breaking down cities and castles and and things like that. You know, um I I know that it's a common conception within the occult community that revenge is kind of you know frowned upon, but I really like the way that a lot of diasporic traditions look at um at like revenge. It's not really revenge, it's more so like I will divine whether this is justified or not, you know. So if someone asks you, like, I need this done to this person, they did me wrong, there's gonna be some type of divination done to see if like, yes, it is approved, or no, this is this isn't within the cards for you. Um, and I kind of like how that's gone about. Um so when it comes to revenge, there's really no, it's it's a it's a very much a gray territory within Solomonic Magic. Uh, me personally, like I said, it's kind of one of those things like I'm gonna do some divination to see if it's worthwhile in the first place, or if it's just something that I have to live with.

SPEAKER_01 41:20

That's a fact. Look, you know, I I I was on a live the other day on TikTok and I was telling explaining that to somebody. They were asking, well, you know, I heard May says oh voodooists tend to attack people. I said, No, we're never we're within our instructions on what we're taught, we're never supposed to be on the on the offense. It's defense. We'll defend ourselves, we'll cover ourselves, we'll protect ourselves, but never to go on the offense. Now, if you do something to me and I'll catch wind based on whether I've done divination or I see it up you know, up front and personal, then I'll then I'll react. You get what I'm saying? It's because we we we we have to think 777 times before we make a move. Like we gotta do the divination, we gotta, you know, I may have to fast on it, I may have to abstain for a few days. I gotta really think about it, like you know, before I do something.

SPEAKER_03 42:11

And and also if if you have a good relationship with your court, with your spiritual court, sometimes you know, revenge will be carried out on their own terms. You don't even have to do anything, like they will take care of you, and that's that's you know part of the pluses of you know staying and engaging engaging with your spiritual court, you know.

SPEAKER_01 42:31

Yeah, and I think that's where the ego comes in play, and we're gonna talk more about that, which is called the spiritual pride. Is the spiritual pride a danger for a magician?

SPEAKER_03 42:44

Yeah, for sure. You know, ego always plays a part. You know, ego is is important because that's what tells you who you are, that's what tells you I need to jump out of the way of this car, or else I'm going to get hit and I will be unalive. You know, that's that's part of your ego right there. But at the same time, as in modern age, what we see of his ego is like you're just being, you know, arrogant. And I can see that spiritual pride for sure, it is a danger. Uh you the best way to see that manifest is in these like fake gurus and teachers. Talk about it, you know, that that think they know so much, and then when they do get students, at first it starts off rather innocent, but before you know it, they start to take advantage of these students in ways that are way more obscene than you would have thought it would have led to in the first place.

SPEAKER_01 43:42

Sexual deviance.

SPEAKER_03 43:44

Exactly. You know, um, and spiritual pride usually has to play a part in that. Um, yeah, no, I I mean, just like any other thing, having too much pride, it's it kind of blinds you from what's important. And it's it spiritual pride is also what leads people to always have to say something about someone on social media. Like where I would be demonolaters and I'd be like, oh my god, what are you doing? La la la. But at this point in my practice, I'm kind of like, hey, if that's if that's what makes you happy and you're not hurting anyone, bless your heart.

SPEAKER_01 44:27

Exactly. That's the same way, too, because I'd be like, I don't know, you you on your own mission. You have to answer to your higher power, you know, not me. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We're gonna get into this comments, right? Got a few people asking the questions. But give me people for not reading the questions out. They're like, say, ask your guests about Aleister Crawley if you get a chance. They want to know about Aleister Crawley. What do you what do you know about Mr. Aleister Crawley?

SPEAKER_03 44:49

He's never left my life because I actually got him tattooed on my uh my leg when I was younger. Uh, because I thought I thought it was uh he was a cool guy. Um, but as I as I learned more about the occult and kind of you know delve deeper into my practice, he's not really someone that he's not his teachings aren't something that are a part of my uh paradigm. You know, um he he helped introduce yoga to the west for sure. Yeah, he had a lot of good things to contribute to the occult. So, for instance, if if you get into magic and you want to go get a magic book at Barnes and Nobles, one of the first things you're gonna see is probably an Oster Crowley book.

SPEAKER_01 45:38

Exactly.

Revenge, Justification, And Divination

SPEAKER_03 45:39

The book of shadows, yeah, it's gonna be the one of the first things you come across. His 77 uh seven is gonna be one of the first things you see, you know, and people will tell you how those course it's a book of correspondences, and people will tell you that are experienced, they're like they're they're a little dubious, but um it he helped make it popular. He without Alistair Crowley, I probably wouldn't have got he that would have been missing from my introduction into the occult, and you know, because of him, like I I am where I am today to a certain extent. Without Alistair Crowley being part of the Golden Dawn, I probably wouldn't have been into the Golden Dawn. And it he did so much for it for the occult popularity-wise. But him himself and his the lema thing and the iWAS and and and all of that stuff, the book of Book of the Law, uh all of that, all of that stuff is kind of like it's sort of dogmatic, it has its religion, you know, and that's aside from what I know and what I do. So I really don't pay too much attention to it. It's not really my cup of tea. I'm not against it, I'm not for it.

SPEAKER_01 46:57

It was rebellious.

SPEAKER_03 46:59

It was rebellious, but yeah, I'm very indifferent to it. So, like, yeah, uh Crowley's not my favorite, but he's I I don't hate the guy, you know.

SPEAKER_01 47:10

I'm not gonna lie to you. I I I picked up Crowley books, I must have been 19 or 20. And let me tell you, man, that book threw me for a loop. Like reading, like, you know, with the young impressionable mind, I'm just reading, like, damn, he's saying do this and that. I remember like on an eight-day fast, not caring about my appearance and all that. Yo, bro, it's it's it's intense, man.

SPEAKER_03 47:34

Like the times you had to wake up and do some chanting and prayers, and there's a I forget book of um, I forget the name of it, but it's an actual technique that he would have. Certain. I know that nowadays they look at it differently and they go about it differently, but it has to do with training your mind. So it ha man, it it's something like every time you think about an elephant, you have to cut yourself with a razor. Bro, and it and it's this thing of like training your mind to where you you are able to think what you want to think. And and you it's just really kind of keeping your mind in a certain direction and keeping your focus in a certain direction. Nowadays, I believe like people will use like a rubber band and they'll like snap their wrist or you know, if I curse, I snap my wrist, or like if I uh I am going to make myself not do a certain twitch, and when I do it, I snap my wrist. So it's it's this whole thing of you know, um of really training yourself.

SPEAKER_01 48:44

Do as thou wilt. That's what it comes down to. And the the whole dilemma process was like reading up about the dilemma, what he was doing in there with the drugs. I'm like, all right, that part right there, I'm not into. Like, and and like the old man, let me tell you, that dude, I think he went too far. Brilliant individual, but went too far. He lost it.

SPEAKER_03 49:02

Like, he yeah, he had a he had a pretty bad um addiction. Uh that kind of he hadn't suffered from, so yeah, that didn't help.

SPEAKER_01 49:10

You had the Ozzy Osmith that Mr.

SPEAKER_00 49:13

Crawley, dude. Did he talk to that dad?

SPEAKER_01 49:18

But anyway, um I got another question. Somebody here put this up. He said uh Friday is Astarte. Ashem. You know anything about that?

SPEAKER_03 49:32

What this person is trying to convey, this message they're trying to no, I do not know. Ashem Ball. So Ball means Lord. Um Ashem. I think that Ashem, I think that means blessed be, or no, I'm thinking of of Ashara, uh Ash Asherah.

SPEAKER_01 49:53

Astarte, yeah.

Spiritual Pride, Gurus, And Ego Checks

SPEAKER_03 49:58

Yeah, I don't know exactly what they're uh what they're referring to. I know Astarte was the consort of Baal, which Ball turned into Baal. Um, but Baal was pretty much it was just meant Lord, so it was a name that could be given to a lot of different deities, but yeah, it is a Canaanite storm god named Baal, who was kind of the other end of Yahweh, who was also a storm god uh of the Phoenicians. And if I remember correctly, I'm not exactly a historian here, um, just a carouser. But yeah, no, Astarte was a consort of Ball. And then that's where you get uh um Ball is that's where you get uh Belzebub from. So Ball Bull, you know, the Lord who's on high, and it was in it over time it got corrupted and made fun of, and and puns were put into it, making it a lord of the flies, ball to bull. So um, yeah, it um that ball is really just a term meaning lord. All right.

SPEAKER_01 51:02

I mean, one more thing before we go continue on is peace. What is the what is his thoughts on Friends Bard and they want to ask you about what's your thoughts on Friends Bard on?

SPEAKER_03 51:11

Oh, I I he is one of those modern uh magicians. Uh he has some pretty cool things that I've learned of like uh fluid condensers for for scrying mirrors and things like that. But when it comes to his teachings, like the um uh initiation into hermetics, like all of his big works, I've I've never really delved into because he is kind of on the uh magic revivalist side. So when you're thinking of the history of magic, you got all the way up until the 18th century of where so 17th century is when you still see the Ars Goatia and and other grim wars being brought up, and then and then uh uh 18th century in the 1700s, you have Elephus uh Levy, and then you have a proof, and then you and then you start to get into the Franz Bardin later on, and I believe later on, so the magical thought began to take a different form at that time. So it went from being very spirit-based, as in like spirits have agency over magic, into this whole thing of like willpower and energy and psychology. Um, because of course in the 1800s, that's when like you know, Freudian and Jungian things and and psychology and eastern uh philosophy uh and energy became much more popular. So Franz Barden is part of that school of magic that is kind of aside from the grim war tradition. So he wasn't really someone that I got into. If I would have kept with the Golden Dawn, I probably would have read more of Franz Bardin, because believe me, his book was kind of on my my list to get. Um but when you kind of devote yourself to a certain school or model of magic, you tend to stay within that lane to a certain extent. Um, so uh, you know, short answer would be I don't really have an opinion on him because I didn't learn much from him or look into him.

SPEAKER_01 53:25

Got you. And I respect that. And being that I'm glad that you mentioned all the authors within the 1800s that came about as the magic began to evolve and you know, different perspectives through time came about. We're gonna speak about this one. And then this this is gonna tie back to um Martinez De Pasquale a bit, a little bit. Um can solomanic magic lead to reintegration rather than domination? Lead to reintegration rather than domination, as in as what reintegration into and into into one within the universe, one with God, one man within himself.

Crowley, Modern Revival, And Limits

SPEAKER_03 54:02

Oh yeah, so you depends on how you use it. So what what you're talking about is like theurgy, you know, it's uh it's godworking, it's it's kind of becoming uh back one with the godhead, and that's usually done through uh magic. That's more of an esoteric esoteric mystical uh approach to to the occult. Well, magic is a very much a practical application of a certain type of technologies to achieve some type of physical change. I am going to do this spell so I get more money, so I get more jobs. As in theurgy within spell work because you are calling, you're invocating on higher forces. Yeah, so that's theurgical by nature. But when it comes to integrating yourself back with divine the divine power, um, that was much more of a modern magic, golden dawn lodge magic type thing, you know. Um so can Solomonic magic do that? It's not exactly it can to a certain extent. It can. It's going to develop you as a person. Any type of spirit spirit work will develop you as a person, uh, whether it be bad or good. Um, but it's not really the goal of Solomonic Magic. Solomonic magic is really to summon spirits to get things done.

SPEAKER_01 55:52

Got you. I got you. And you know, you know what? I'm glad that you said that. You mentioned that, man. I gotta get the books on there for the people to go out there and purchase which books they need to be you know, purchase your how should I say it? As the book says on the inside, you are on your own. This is a warning. Don't go out there doing anything crazy. Use your own discernment, your right judgment. And you said to pick up the book, the king, the greater king of Solomon. That's the books that they should pick up, right? The greater keys of Solomon.

SPEAKER_03 56:18

Uh, so it goes by if you look up Greater Key of Solomon, you're probably gonna get something different. But the key of Solomon the King, um, by uh, and it's the Joseph H. Peterson. So all you gotta do is put in Joseph H. Peterson, key of Solomon the King, and you will see the one that I have right here. This has been within the circle many times, within consecration rites very many times. Like this is always by me when I am doing my work because it's it's just great for reference. Um so that is the one to get because if you look for the greater key, then you're most likely gonna get uh one that's mixed with the greater key of Solomon the King, and also the Arsgoatia. Um so it has the the keys, the the keys of Solomon. Um and then the other book was the Heptameron, H E P T A M E R O N. I believe I spelled that right. Um, and that's the uh the magic uh the magic of the elements by Peter De Abano, I believe is the other name of it. Uh I I forget, but um yeah, that one will teach you ritual formula and then the initiation into the Golden Dawn system. Whether you're trying to initiate into the system or not, it will give you all the correspondences, associations, all of the practical foundational knowledge that you need to help uh build that toolbox for stepping into the circle.

SPEAKER_01 58:04

I got you, my brother. Brother Madin, it was an honor to have you on this show, brother. You came out here, you as always perform well, very informative, grab the detail, and we appreciate you for your knowledge over here at NYP. Uh, where can people find you, man?

SPEAKER_03 58:43

Um, not generally. I have before, I have helped out uh people before, um, but it's not really my forte. It it really depends if it's something that lands within my in my realm, you know.

Astarte, Baal, And Terms Explained
