Why Are Leftists Obsessed With Destroying Hero Culture? In the movie ‘Batman: The Dark Knight’ the well regarde... Also, Abramelin seems to have an energy stream all it's own that pulls the practitioner along to where they need to be. Fortunatly I found this to be non specific to path or religion :)

A German translation, credited to Abraham of Worms and edited by Georg Dehn, was published in 2001 by Edition Araki. In the Dehn version, the fourth book is included and Mathers’ galangal substitution is reverted to calamus (though not in the English translation — see Abramelin Oil). All 251 of the word squares are completely filled in. An English translation of Dehn’s edition was published 2006 by the American publisher Nicholas Hays. The famous English occultist, philosopher, ceremonial magician, and religious founder Aleister Crowley read The Book of Abramelin and believed that someone could slightly alter the process to summon or form an “idealized entity based in any desired language and symbolism at the discretion of the conjurer.” Crowley himself had claimed to have undergone the primary ritual of the Abramelin Operation twice. The concepts and ideas from The Book of Abramelin helped create the foundation for his occultist religion, Thelema.

This oil is currently used in several ceremonies of the Thelemic church, Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, including the rites of Confirmation and Ordination. It is also commonly used to consecrate magical implements and temple furniture. The eucharistic host of the Gnostic Mass—called the Cake of Light—includes this oil as an important ingredient. Diligent, repetitive practices like this can have a profound effect on programming the consciousness, and the transformative process can be unpredictable. In the Mathers translation from the incomplete French version, the phases last for two lunar cycles, each for a total of 6 months. In the original translation, the phases are much longer, the whole operation totaling 18 months. Later, Crowley would claim that he discovered numerous methods that achieve the same result as the complicated Abramelin process, but they all remain symbolically and theoretically consistent with the Abramelin Operation. Interesting that Shiva mentions that "John St. John" came after Crowley's 8=3, as One Star in Sight has this: "Adeptus (Exemptus). Completes in perfection all these matters. He then either (a) becomes a brother of the Left Hand Path or, (b) is stripped of all his attainments and of himself as well, even of his Holy Guardian Angel, and becomes a Babe of the Abyss, who, having transcended the Reason, does nothing but grow in the womb of its Mother. It then finds itself a Magister Templi."

You’ll want to read the original text of the book in its entirety, particularly the sections on what should be considered before undertaking the process, and the ritual specifications for building an altar and other ceremonial objects. Like some Tantric rituals from Tibetan Buddhism, the eventual visualization of the Holy Guardian Spirit may be more of a deeply meditative, transformative thought exercise than a literal summoning ritual. Also called the “Age of Reason,” the enlightenment was a philosophical trend in which many prevailing ideas that make up our modern society today emerged. Freedom, the pursuit of happiness, the search for truth based on reason, scientific discovery, liberty, progress, fraternity, and constitutional government were the hallmarks of the enlightenment. It was a time when the absolute authority of the church and monarchs were brought into question and the modern birth of democracy was established.
