Chapter 2-3: Pre-360 Earth Zone Spirit information
Before we go into the 360 spirits of the Earth Zone, I would like to shine a little light on what I am doing.
First there is a bit of a controversy over whether Bardon outright plagiarized Abra-Melin or by some bizarre chance met these Earth Zone spirits who happened to be the same spirits Abra-Melin wrote on OR if Bardon was using some original key he received from some other work. Any of the above choices would make one think about why Bardon did not at least mention the similarities. This is an argument for arm-chair magicians; we are practicing magicians (right?) so all we need to worry about is the fact that some of the names are slightly or drastically altered. My *opinion* is Bardon changed the names to follow his kabbalistic system and possibly thinking he changed it enough did not mention it. Which is either a dumb opinion or Bardon was inept for doing so.
I have evoked probably around 15 or so Earth Zone spirits and never once had a problem with a name not working. HOWEVER, since I am doing a commentary for those proposing to do the work of PME I think it would behoove the readers if I showed them they have nothing to fear. So, this is what I am going to do. I will evoke four spirits from the Earth Zone. One spirit from each of the cardinal compass points (Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, and Taurus) which had at least two or more letters difference in their names from Abra-Melin to Bardon. What I did was this: I went down the list and found names in those four spheres which had a minimum two letter difference (a changed A, I, or E singularly could be a change in the passage of time or if Bardon was writing it from word of mouth could be pronunciation in some cases- in other words not a biggie) I then had a list from each group of about five spirits each (25 spirits just in four spheres had that big a difference with their names). I then checked out what each spirit did compared to what my interests are. I decided on four spirits that I found would make interesting evocations for the both of us as well as the least chance of a spirit saying the information was to be kept secret (Like how to destroy your enemies with a word or the like).
That means we solve all problems: we have interesting spirits, we have an end to the practical problem of which names really call the spirit and we get to learn about spirits from the next highest density in relation to the elements, being that they are the cardinal directions.
So, I will be evoking the following spirits( The first name being Bardon’s and the second Abra- Melin’s):
Romasara/ Romesaf- 8 degress Leo.
Hatuny/ Habüaz- 12 degrees Aquarius (in case myspace is a byatch the Abra-melin has an umlaut U). Sagara/ Sagarez- 12 degrees Scorpio.
Carubot/ Larubos- 7 degrees Taurus.
Now if one makes use of the name as a formula in Kabbalah, these differences in formulas are a major deal (some of you may not see how it may effect anything.), which I will go into with each post. If one uses the kabbalahistic formula for a spirit name with that much a difference than you are drawing forth different powers altogether. For a practical magical evocation viewpoint names call the spirit. If it is not the right name will the spirit not answer or be angry when it shows up (think when a telemarketer calls you and mispronounces your name!) All these troublesome questions and more shall be resolved very soon! The First evocation will be posted Monday-ish. From there we move on to the Moon sphere with its cipher and spirits.
Chapter 4: The Intelligences of the Lunar Sphere
As we move away from the Earth Zone which has an effect on our vitality and the ether we move into the lunar sphere. The lunar sphere has a direct effect on our astral bodies and the astral plane; however it is not THE astral plane in any sense, which many occult authors claim. It is simply related to it. One cannot astrally project to the moon sphere since it is a higher degree of density. The
magician must make use of his mental body if he wishes to attain the higher spheres beyond the Earth Zone. Now of course I will most likely have the debate that someone has travelled to some higher sphere in their astral body. This is unlikely. You may have either attained a sphere in the astral plane that was influenced by the particular sphere you wished to enter (The Earth Zone spheres are also used as a heavens for the deceased) or you had a vivid mental projection. A body is only allowed to travel in its lawful realm. A physical body traverses the Earth, the astral body traverses the astral plane and Earth Zone. The mental body ascends into the higher celestial spheres but can also traverse the lower spheres as well.
Before a magician evokes a being from the Moon sphere they should have mentally projected to the sphere and become accustomed to the vibration of that plane. Just like when the magician entered the elemental kingdoms and astral plane. One simply projects their being into the sphere by loading their mental body with the appropriate color of the sphere. This is silver. Then one projects their mind to the Moon sphere and attains its vibration which for the Moon sphere is a silver light oscillation that has a vortex like pull within it and the density of a fog. After some time one attains the Moon sphere vibration and encounters vistas and beings. Just like in previous spheres one must maintain the composure and be patient for a moon spirit to speak with you and to not communicate with the spirits of the Moon until they speak with you first. This is to show your maturity and your mastery. These spirits will eventually speak with you! You can also bring your guide or Holy Guardian Angel with you into the sphere for their aid and direction.
There are many types of Moon spirits and from my travels there I have met the negative spirits as well as positive beings and angels. No matter what types of beings you encounter remain respectful
and kind. You never know what you may learn from a being and some of the demons I have met have been most kind and taught me several things as well as giving me blessings for my behavior in their sphere. Always remember you are in THEIR sphere, be respectful. I will be evoking the spirit Liteviche from the moon sphere to speak with.
There is some thought that Bardon had a cipher for these spirits but this is not so, the beings RULE over the stations even though the stations have a name as well. From my experience the names of the spirits are correct and follow their kabbalistic lawfulness. However, for all due diligence, we will investigate the matter by asking the spirit its real name.
