abramelin lunar ordeal: an alternative magical journey

Abramelin Lunar Ordeal merges the traditional Abramelin Sacred Magic with the singular Bornless One invocation to produce an ordeal that can be accomplished in seven weeks instead of six or eighteen months. This unique and advanced magical grimoire offers personal transformation for the adherent.

A New Method for a Timeless Ordeal

MacGregor Mathers published a book that introduced the magical ordeal to the magicians of the 20th century. That book was called The Book of Abramelin and contained an arduous preparation practice that lasted six months to manifest the Holy Guardian Angel, which instructed and guided the adherent. The book contained many magical squares of notorious potency. To use them, the magician had to undergo many months of prayer, meditation, fasting, purification, abasement, and a period of complete sequestration. Another version of this working, recently published, had the working last for eighteen months with three months of sequestration.

Many magicians attempted this arduous task; some succeeded and some failed. This working was typically beyond the means and resources of your average magician. This was the challenge to achieve the knowledge and conversation with their Holy Guardian Angel. However, Frater Barrabbas took this challenge and used it to forge a whole new magical ordeal. He decided to base it on a lunar cycle instead of a solar cycle, crafting an ordeal that could be accomplished in seven weeks with three days of sequestration, thus making its performance more practical.

Frater Barrabbas sought to create a powerful series of magical workings to produce the promised transfiguration state and manifest one’s Holy Guardian Angel. He used invocations of the four Seraphim and Cherubim in four weeks, along with the Element Godhead, to produce a holy tabernacle of godhead and angelic intelligence. He chose a revised version of the Bornless or Headless One invocation rite of Golden Dawn fame as the apex. He plumbed the Greek Magical Papyri to extract three more rituals to add to the Bornless rite. These rituals and more he has written into a book, including the diary entries where he performed this working back in 2009 to validate it. This lore and instruction are encapsulated in Abramelin Lunar Ordeal, a unique and profound contribution to the art of ritual magic. The Sacred Magic of Abramelin is now available using a new, concise paradigm.

Frater Barrabbas Tiresius is a practicing ritual magician who has studied magic and the occult for over forty years. He believes that ritual magic is a discipline whose mystery is unlocked by continual practice and by occult experiences and revelations. Frater Barrabbas believes that traditional approaches should be balanced with creativity and experimentation and that no occult or magical tradition is exempt from changes and revisions.

Frater Barrabbas also founded a magical order called the Order of the Gnostic Star and is an elder and lineage holder in the Alexandrian tradition of witchcraft.
