Angelic Protection Magick: Banish Curses, Negative Energy, Evil, Violence, Bad Luck, and Psychic Attack (The Power of Magick) - Ben Woodcroft 2018

The Illumination

With the Illumination, you safely prepare a magickal space. The ritual makes you more likely to be seen and known by safe, invited spirits. You do not become so magickally bright that you attract unwanted supernatural attention. This is a ritual that I wish I had known about when I first discovered magick. It would have saved me from a lot of mistakes, and some unpleasant effects.

I say that The Illumination can and should be carried out before any other magick, but there are two exceptions. You do not need to use this ritual before The Body of Protection or The Circle Banishing, as they have fundamental protection built into their structure. If you want to work with any of the other rituals in this book, which follow this chapter, perform The Illumination first.

Although you can perform The Illumination in isolation, it is common practice to perform The Circle Banishing first, followed by The Body of Protection, and then The Illumination. Following that, you perform whatever magick you wish to perform.

Whether you are using the other rituals revealed in the remainder of this book, rituals from Angelic Sigils, Seals and Calls, or rituals from other books by other authors, The Illumination draws on your desire, and ensures that only the entities that you wish to call will see your aura.

The ritual is short but extremely effective. It improves your connection to the spirits, which can improve your results. It may also have the effect of making you more aware of the presence of spirits, but this is not always the case.

To perform this ritual, gaze at the sigil on the following page. Let your eyes wander over all the white space, rather than looking at the letters. Know that the letters are being taken within you.

There are powers here that call on love, peace, strength, and awe. The construction of the sigil is such that you need do little other than gaze at the white space within it for a few minutes, knowing that you are protected. You know that you are illuminated so that the spirits you wish to call will see you. You do not need to focus on the names or natures of those spirits because your subconscious knowledge powers the ritual. Gaze at the white space and know the protection is building.

To close the ritual, you say the following words (which are formed by the letters in the central square of the sigil):

CAUSE-AWE

MEZZ-AH-PEZZ

AHN-GEZ

TAH-GEH-EZZ

The pronunciation of these words should be straightforward, but note that the G sound is like the G in GLOW, rather than the G in GIRAFFE. The website has an audio demonstration if required.

Perform The Illumination immediately before you begin your subsequent ritual. Do not perform the ritual hours or minutes before you start your subsequent ritual. As soon as you have said the closing words, you should begin your main ritual, whatever it may be. Do not perform The Illumination without a following ritual.

To summarize, imagine that you want to use Freezing a Curse, as shown in a later chapter. You would perform The Circle Banishing, The Body of Protection, The Illumination and then Freezing a Curse. What sounds like a lot of magick is actually quite minimal, and takes only a few minutes to perform.

This sigil of illumination appears on the following page, with the spoken words printed below for easy reference.

CAUSE-AWE

MEZZ-AH-PEZZ

AHN-GEZ

TAH-GEH-EZZ
