PGM & Greco-Roman-Egyptian Spells

[ashlesha]

Hi everyone! I've been playing with the PGM and the Greco-Roman-Egyptian pantheon again

The ones I've been using the most recently:
The Helios consecration from Alison Chicosky's Secrets of Helios book, PGM IV 1596-1715, a great general blessing
The Abrahamic blessing from PGM XXXV. 1-42, also a very great general empowerment
The Hidden Stele of Aion from PGM IV 1115-1226, which is GREAT for obstacle clearing in a non-aggressive way
The Headless rite (of course) from PGM V 96-172, as a preliminary invocation
The Hekate Ursa Major spell from PGM VII 686-702, for obstacle clearing in an aggressive way
Stuff from Don Webb's Seven Faces of Darkness, which is all about Set PGM magic with a slight ceremonial bend.
Stuff I'm building out from Sara Mastros's Orphic Hymn Grimoire.

I plan on using the Full Moon spell from PGM IV. 2785-2890 this upcoming full moon, the Set-Typhon initiation to consecrate some wealth talismans based on how Jason Miller consecrated his Alligator Hand talismans that he used to sell, and some other ones I'm working on adapting for some new stuff.

Does anyone have some favorites or want to trade notes? I have a love spell I'm looking for someone to try out that combines PGM IV 1496-1595 and PGM IV 1716-1870.

Awesome.

I wish I had more I use on a regular basis. ** scribbles note **

The famous Headless Rite is such a trusted friend for me. It's very intense so I don't do it all the time. When I do, the next day my scalp, arms and hands, are hot, itchy, and on fire. I always think I'm coming down with a flu or a cold, then I remember "Oh, right, it always does this."

I posted PDM xiv. 475-88 below, adapted for the purpose Road Opening.

Thank you for reminding me! I'll be sure to, uh, road test the Hidden Stele of Aion I have some Grim Verum sorcery coming up and Road Opening is part of my standard prep work leading up to the full rite. I shoud do them more often.

Wowww coooool! I'm trying this one on Monday morning for sure!

On the topic of road opening, I saw someone had paired the headless rite with the helios consecration, reframing the charge in the headless rite to be a self-exorcism. I've done it dozens of times on myself and others over the years, and it definitely works wonders. No objects needed, but incense and sunlight helps!

I can't remember where I read it, but someone said that the more they use the headless rite, the more subtle the effects are. I find when I use it now I get the general empowering feeling, but it's not as overwhelming as it used to be when I was first going for K&CHGA. Last night I paired it with the first 2 enochian keys, followed by another rite I'm working on from the PGM, and it hit MUCH more heavily than usual. I'll be experimenting more with the first 2 Enochian keys as a general empowerment to pair with these spells too

Here they are if you want to try it too:

. Last night I paired it with the first 2 enochian keys,

That is too damn cool! I love the syncratism. Very much the classic magician's approach going back to Alexandria. Oh, just for backstory and lore, I "slot" the First Enochain Key into a schema using the Aurum Solis thinking here that it's an instrument for the manifestation of the Divine Presence. (However one localizes that into personal aesthetics is cool too.) . I think that is their book 'Mysteria Magica' -Volume 3 of The Magical Philosophy series, if a recall. Been awhile. I've not used Enochian since the 1990's.

 

[ZanySpirtist]

Very interesting! I just recently obtained an English copy of the PGM and am about to delve into it. Been on a Greco-Roman/Egyptian kick recently (Hellenic dieties in general). Gonna watch this thread with interest!

 

[MorganBlack]

I saw someone had paired the headless rite with the helios consecration

Oh! I've been trying the Helios rite from Chicosky's Secrets of Helios book off and on for awhile, but unlike the Headless I can't get it to activate or "click" for some reason. I can't tell if it's supposed to be super subtle or I must missing something vital. (Anybody using it and have any observations or suggestions?) That is a great suggestion. I will try pairing it with the Headless Rite ...and doing more of the usual, minding timings and directions more.

I'll check it out! I heard Aurum Solis has interesting Enochian material, but I never took the time to dive deep into their works. I agree on the first key manifesting a general divine presence. Benjamin Rowe's analysis of it seems to also confirm that, while also referencing the elements of creation. Frater Yechidah recommends not pairing it with the second key, but Scott Michael Stenwick says pairing the two works well for invocations & evocations. I don't think I'd ever use keys 3-19 on anything except Enochian ritual, but 1 and 2 seem to be very adaptable!

Oh interesting, how about PGM III. 494-611 to establish a relationship first? It uses a similar ritual form as PGM IV 1596-1715, but is longer and packs a better punch

 

[MorganBlack]

Excellent suggestion, Ashlesha!

I was field testing that rite originally during an intense Underworld / Harrowing of Hell personal mythic journey. Strictly speaking Helios is not a chthonic deity (my home turf) , but ouranic, if I recall the myths. Tourists, bah! (heh). I'm already pretty "sunny" in my disposition, but have been meaning to broaden my ritualized solar incorporation to include more of the daytime aspects, so that might slot in pretty nicely, now that I'm more "above ground".

It should definitely help then

I tried this yesterday morning! I can confirm things were very smooth at work, and had almost no problems, which is so new for me. It's so much faster to use than the Helios consecration ritual too. I'll definitely be practicing this spell more!

I shortened the spell from PGM XXXV. 1-42, which seems to be effective for pretty much any success petition. Even stronger with the first 2 Enochian calls, but totally functional alone! It's super short, so please try it out if you have a chance

I've been recently working very much with Aphrodite, and I borrowed some chants and words of power from the PGM. I'd love to see your love spell, if you'd be kind enough to share (even though I can't really promise I'll be testing it out right now Though I certainly might in the future!).

This one is specifically for Eros and using a stick of Myrrh as his arrow of love, but give me some time and I'll work on an Aphrodite one

Love it! Brilliant! I am in the midst of mythic journey for Lent right now but will try it after Easter.

I'd love to see your love spell, if you'd be kind enough to share

RE Aphrodite rites. About 12 years ago I used the 'The Call of Aphrodite the Queen' from Michael Cecchetelli's 'The Book of Abrasax 'to sell my house well above market value. I wanted potential buyers to "fall in love" with it. And it worked great. (below)

I have not field tested the ritual enough to say if that was not by pure chance. During this working there were no paranormal effects to let me know it was activated, no serious visions, so it was really hard to tell except some minor intuitive sense. And that have been wishful thinking.

So it make me happy we have more people now interested in trying these out more. If you like, give it a spin and let us know.

First get the book and check for errors creeping in copy-pasting from a bad PDF. I did look it over and fixed many , but I'm concerned some noise got introduced.


The Call of Aphrodite the Queen

What follows is a rite wherein we call upon Aphrodite, Lady of Venus, to
asist in matters of love and relationships. The original appears in the PGM as
a spell to entreat her aid in matters of divination, however as her governance
is of Venus and its specific area of influence, I posited (correctly, as it hap-
pens) that the words of power and divine names of which the original made
use could more effectively be used to achieve Venusian goals.

1.
The temple should be prepared with an image of Aphrodite in a place
of prominence atop the altar, surrounded by fragrant roses and in-
cense of rose and sandalwood. Before Aphrodites image there is to
be placed a white candle.

2.
The rite is opened by the Calling of the Sevenths.

3.
Standing before the altar, light the candle reciting:

Shimmering-throned immortal Aphrodite,
Daughter o f Zeus, Enchantress, I implore thee, hear me!

4.
Light the incense, invoke thus:

I call upon you, the mother and mistress of nymphs
ILAOCH OBRIE LOUCH TLOR
Come in Holy Light and give ear unto my supplication, showing
Your Lovely Shape!
I call upon thee ILAOUCH who has begotten Himeros, the lovely
Horai!

I also call upon Zeus' begotten Physis of All Things,
Two formed, indivisible, straight, foam-born Aphrodite.
Reveal to me Your Lovely Light and Your Lovely Face, O Lady of
Venus, ILAOUCH.
I call You, Giver of Fire, by ELGINAL, and by the Great Names:
OBRI TYCH KERDYNOUCHILE PSIN
NIOU NAUNINIOUTHOU THRINX TATIOUTH GERTIATH
GERGERIS GERGERIE THEITHI.

I call you, beautiful Aphrodite, by your sacred words
OISIA El El AOE Y IAIAIO SO THOU BERBROI
AKTEROBORE GERIE’IE’OYA;
Bring light and your lovely face and the knowledge o f your
divine self
Your countenance, shining with Fire, bearing Fire all around,
stirring the Land from afar
IO IO PHTHAIE THOUTHOUIPHAEPHI

Sounds lovely. And I'd love to see your Aphrodite spell as well!

The above rite sounds superb as well, definitely gonna add some of it to my Aphrodisian grimoire.
