Since all men from their birth employ sense prior to intellect, and are necessarily first conversant with sensible things: Some, proceeding no farther, pass through life considering these as first and last; and apprehending what is painful to be evil, what is pleasant to be good, they deem it sufficient to shun the one and pursue the other. Some pretending to greater reason than the rest, esteem this wisdom; like earth-bound birds, though they have wings are unable to fly. The secret souls of others would recall them from pleasure to worthier pursuits; but they cannot soar: they choose the lower way and strive in vain. Thirdly, there are those divine men whose eyes pierce through clouds and darkness to supernal vision, where they abide as in their own lawful country
-- Plotinus

Hey all...
Quick question for the board:
I've been studying the Qabalistical Invocation of Solomon as of late, and I was wondering: do you vibrate the names that are written in all capital letters? I searched for info on this via Google, and came up fruitless when it came to coming up with any worthwhile information on this particular question. Oftentimes, traditionally, I know it's assumed that you always vibrate any of the words that are written in all caps in a working, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions and just assume anything here, so I figured, after my own research turned up absolutely nothing, I'd offer the question up to the board and see if anyone could shed some light on the topic for me. Thanks in advance for the help!

The practice of it is very simple, one merely chants the regular words as the orthodox church people chant the psalms. When it says O KETERIEL! that's when you vibrate both words. The is an invocation of the tree of life upon the body of the magician so that one may balance the energies invoked. Similar to the Qabalistic Cross, but more complicated and corrupted into nonsense. With a little thought, one could easily recpnstruct the original form of the invocation based on the form of the tree of life as well as what we know about the practice of the "qabalistic cross" invocation. I can't find my full version atm but, i remember the shorter version:
Touch Forehead, saying: O KETERIEL!
Touch Solar Plexus, saying: O TIPHERETH!
Touch the Right Shoulder, saying: O GEBURAHEL!
Touch the Left Shoulder, saying: O GEDULAHEL!
Clasp Hands over chest, saying: Amen. |

| It never hurts to ask... as my Drill Sergeant used to say, "Private, the ONLY stupid question is the one you DON'T ASK!" Always glad to see people are thinking about the work they are trying to do. |

Walterfive,
Hahaha....and when you have a drill sergeant hammering THAT into you at the top of his lungs on a regular basis, I'm sure it's something you came to live by quite quickly! 
Joseph,
Thanks for the info. on this. That does clarify things for me with it greatly. Then again, the names of Gods and Angels are, nine times outta ten, vibrated during a working, so it would make sense that these would be too. And I wasn't aware that there was a short version of it, but it does make sense that there would be. It was, actually, its placement on the Tree of Life- especially in regards to this working being a balancing of the energies upon the Tree- that had me the most interested in this particular invocation. I'm fairly familiar with the Qabalistic Cross. Would you be able to expand for me a bit on just how the Qabalistical Invocation of Solomon is more corrupted and corrupted into nonsense, as you put it, than the Qabalistic Cross? |

Certainly, the words were mismatched and so the rite was corrupted. It was my belief in the past that this was not only an expanded type of Qabalistic Cross, but also that it was an invocation of solomon the king, meaning that by the recitation of this rite one invoked King Solomon as a Godform and became Solomon. Thus you''ll notice the names of the tools, Wand of Solomon, Sword of Solomon, etc. this is not just so that you can have solomon's tools or whatever, no, the magician BECOMES solomon. Solomon's magick is the means by which this is achieved. To achieve the divine kingship, or queenship is the goal of all Magick. King Solomon was not simply a king of earth, but also of higher worlds by virtue of his great wisdom.
Also, the Qabalistical Invocation of Solomon, you can see easily how it is coprrupted, it was meant to be performed with various gestures which were lost in time. But, it was my belief that these gestures were actually that of the qabalistic cross. Using this knowledge you can see how its corrupted a little bit. |
