Enclosures as a Basis for Pagan Ethics There came a conversation that jogged my memory some time ago, and brought me to a Venn diagram with the individual and family in the center, and then concentric circles outward, the first circle labeled Utlanning, and so on down the line to Varelse, that I had written down in one of my little black books, and I find. |
New Aeon Magick Chapter 15RITUAL TIMING
"Time is the chrysalis of eternity."
Richter
***
For the most part, practicing Magicians pay very little attention
to timing, with the exception of the Solar and Lunar phases.
There is great folly in ignoring the rhythm of time. Much
research has been done to establish the fact that cycles DO occur
throughout the day. For example:
Until 1960, when caesarean births became the preffered method of
delivery, 75% of all births occured between 4:00 and 6:00 A.M.
Other surveys have shown that the awareness level in most people
reaches its peak at 12:00 P.M.; when the Sun is at its zenith.
Awareness plays such an important part in Ceremonial Magick that
the Practitioner should become conscious of which times of the
day enables the best performance. This is one of the functions
of The Diary.
Aside of performing Rituals when the appropriate planet is
visible, there ARE no rules regarding timing. However, it has
been said elsewhere in this book that in Magick one must surround
themselves with every possible characteristic that the
subconcious will recognize as a quality of the planet you are
working with. Therefore, by attributing timing to planetary
elements, one adds another symbol to their arsenal.
I work within the following guidelines:
1. Because of the strong magnetic field around the Earth, it
is best to wait until at least 24 hours have past after Full
Moon before doing invocations. Before, during, or after
this 24 hour period following the Full Moon is okay.
The best times for invocations are when the Moon is
reflecting the most Sun light.
2. It is VERY helpful if one does their rituals on the days
that correspond to the planet. For example:
Monday corresponds to. . . .. Luna
Tuesdays corresponds to. . . Mars
Wednesday corresponds to. .. Mercury
Thursday corresponds to. . Jupiter
Friday corresponds to. . . . Venus
Saturday corresponds to. . . Saturn
Sunday corresponds to. . . . Sun
3. It's best to do a planetary ritual when the concerned planet
is either in conjunction with the Sun, or when the planet is
on the horizon. In all, be conscious of where the planets
are at any given time.
4. Pick a day for rest. Fast if possible on that day. Burn
incense to your Holy Guardian Angel, or light a candle in
His or Her honor; or perform some other form of devotion.
"Inflame thyself in prayer".

| The Pagan with a Cross on her Door.... (to the left of the pentacle) Just about every Sunday morning, I go through the same ritual:I tend to my young son, make sure my husband and I have a decent enough breakfast, shower, dress, tuck a worn silver pentacle inside my shirt, and..... load the family in our car to go to Catholic Mass.Growing up in a lukewarm evangelical home left me feel. Silly Muggles, Wizardry's For Children I'd like to thank Laura Mallory for her courageous and self-effacing efforts to protect our children from the dangers of reading books. I mean, from the dangers of reading books like the Harry Potter series. Mallory makes an excellent point, which is that the concept of the supernatural, of forces in this world b.

We know they invented... the concept of modern time grooming instruments and hand tools board games advanced mathematics But did they also influence Christianity?
