Poetic Past Life Invocation

To have the Angels show you visions of your past lives, devise a Qabalistic oration like the one I used below that incorporates the use of Auriel / North / Earth - Gabriel / West / Water / Receptiveness - Raphael / East / Air/ Bringer of Messages associated with Hermes / Mercury.
Light an Incense
Perform the Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram
Perform the oration;
"I hath made the flower grow upon the Rod,
Familiars dance and play like children,
I am but an instrument of God,
Forever shall I remain Faithful,
With or without promise of reward I shall hold my duty,
The Water flows down into the Cup,
I must, for I am so thirsty!
The winged ones, now my allies,
The truest companions,
Hold it up for me to drink,
My ears are open, this is my passion,
Even when you say nothing, I am appeased,

Flames begin to hold the eyes shut.
Earth weighs down the strongest will.
It's the space between that I must go,
For neither sleep nor wake can let me see
It's the place between the rows,
Slithering through like a snake,
A segmented light takes shape.
First in forms of creatures from the dirt,
Then in forms of fairies and folk,
The leaves and the branches themselves
Make up their very bodies.
Now they know I speak their language,
Now they are ready to tell me of Wisdom.
Take be back to a Man I was before,
When I wrote that great book of contradiction.
However so long ago it must have been,
My vanity lies still on the pages therein.
Amen."
Perform the Middle Pillar or any suitable pre-mediation exercise and then meditate until the vision has been received.
When you are done, note the results in your Magick Journal and if you feel it necessary perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram to clear any residual negative energy.


When writing the Oration, the important thing to remember is that the World responds to fervor. It is the fervor that comes from within the Human Soul that makes prayers, invocations, etc... so powerful. We are the only creatures in existence who possess this fervor. So write your Orations from the heart. At first they are likely to be ineffectual. But with practice and as your understanding of Qabalah / Ceremonial Magick grows, the Orations will become more elaborate, more specific, and more fine tuned to your True Will.
