Invocation of Dr Who

Copyright Notice: Dr Who and the TARDIS device is copyright of the BBC, I make no claims on the characters or plot devices etc. The Daleks are copyright BBC and Terry Nation. This ritual is in no way linked with any of these. It makes no use of copyrighted material or images.

With all the legal rubbish over with, on with the show!


The aim of this ritual is to invoke the Ancient Timelord simply known as "The Doctor". It is probably not much use to anyone who has never watched Dr Who or taken any interest in it. You also need to know about the doctors current magical word "Allons-y!", which is actually french for "Let's Go"! There is also a warning that needs to be given here, this ritual is not for the faint hearted, the results can be quite effective and slightly disorientating, probably due to the "cult" status of Dr Who which has caused him to actually become a modern "god" just as real as any of the ancient gods to many people (compare this to the Lovecraftian "Old Ones" who though may be of purely fictional nature lifted straight from the pages of his stories, are no less effective). The energy channeled also needs to be put to some good use I think, for example to charge a sigil or a talisman of some kind.

Set Up
Dr Who figures such as the Doctor and Daleks, and any other figures available should be placed on the altar.

Instead of your normal wand, it would be a good idea to instead use the sonic screwdriver, switching on the laser effect when necessary!

Make sure you have the Dr Who theme tune ready to play, or get an assistant to press play.

Procedure

1. Banish the temple using your preferred banishing method (I used the G.P.R in Liber Kaos) with the sonic screwdriver.

2. Read aloud:

"The Litany of the Timelord"

You who were rejected and persecuted by the High Council:
You I invoke!

You who have destroyed the Daleks, but are not without pity:
You I invoke!

You who travel in the TARDIS to distant galaxies, to come to the aid of those who suffer:
You I invoke!

I invoke you mighty Timelord, Come Doctor, through the vortex now!

3. Play the Dr Who theme.

4. Charge any sigils or talismans by chanting the mantra "Allons-y!" and pointing the sonic screwdriver at the sigil or talisman. Continue until the music ends.

5. Banish with laughter.

Burn any sigils you have charged, this seemed to work particularly well with this ritual. This ritual worked as well for me as any complicated Ceremonial stuff I have ever done.



To The Great Work!

A Magic(k)al Joke!

Use it as a form of banishing, if you want. If like me you have spent too many hours lately reading magical texts and not enough enjoying the absurdity of life in a world where our banks control the government!

Q: "How many Thelemites does it take to change a lightbulb"?

A: Well....93 of course!

Cheap Salvation

We don't need your cheap salvation
We don't need your mind control
No dark poison from the pulpit
Preacher, leave us all alone!
Hey, preacher, leave us all alone!

All in all, it's just a pretty big bore!
All in all, it's just a pretty big bore!

We don't need your cheap salvation
We don't need your mind control
No dark poison from the pulpit
Preacher, leave us all alone!
Hey, preacher, leave us all alone!

All in all, it's just a pretty big bore!
All in all, it's just a pretty big bore!

The Golden Dawn - Very Brief History

In the mid-1800’s there was a massive interest in the occult. Many organizations and orders developed and flourished, not just the various Rosicrucian orders, but also the Theosophical Society founded by Madam Blavatsky, and Spiritualism was also gaining popularity. From this sea of interest came a group of eminent Freemasons who founded the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn 1887/1888.

The Golden Dawn used some of the rituals and structure of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, but also practised magic based on hermetic thought. They were very heavily influenced by the Jewish mystical system, the Qabalah, the Egyptian Book of the Dead and also the Enochian system developed by John Dee and Edward Kelly.

A lot of the rituals are very complex, and also anyone who wanted to be initiated and progress through the grades was expected to learn a lot of theoretical knowledge and have a basic understanding of Hebrew, astrological correspondences, and various other material contained in the “Knowledge Lectures”. Ultimately, the founders were very clever men with an interest in languages, philosophy and history, and this is reflected in the material. There is also a reliance on a lot of external paraphernalia, such as various wands, daggers, swords, robes and banners which would have cost a lot in both money to procure the items and/or time to make them, but were nevertheless quite beautiful and awe inspiring by all accounts.

My Experiences On The Tree Of Life - Part 5

Starting from the "volcanic landscape" that I found myself in at the previous session. Remembering there is no direct route from the lower levels to Binah (I go through Tiphareth which connects the lower levels to the upper)...

I wanted to find my way back to Tiphareth. A voice said to me "if you want to know the way, ask a policeman" and sure enough one appeared and led me back to Tiphareth!

When I got to Tiphareth, I saw through a door what I had previously saw (the angels and crosses). An angel greeted me and said there was no need to go through that again (being crucified) and led me on to the path.

Binah
I found myself in the Garden of Eden, lots of lovely fruit everywhere, a true paradise.

A serpent said to me "taste the fruit" so I did. After eating the fruit, I also turned into a serpent. Then some other serpents said "he has become like us, he must leave". I was then thrown out of the garden and was on the path to Chokmah.

Chokmah
In Chokmah, I saw lightning everywhere. This was the primordial creative force of the universe.

I thought I was alone, but then I saw some figures dressed in white, they spoke with tremendous power:

"You are not clean, you can not be here, you can not pass through".

Before I could say a word, I was forcefully thrown out, back on to the path where I was previously, the path from Chokmah, not the next path to Kether.

Concluding Remarks
I was not allowed to go on and complete my journey this time, all the way to Kether as I was when working through the tree in the world of Assiah. I was obviously not ready yet, and to force my way through, may have opened doors that I am not yet ready to open. All through this journey I did feel a lot of things were being kept secret. I will continue with my path working on the tree at a later date, when I am more experienced.
