Commission of the Angels: Seven prayers for Seven Archangels.

The temple botanica! More coming soon!

Court of the Angels.

The Court of the Angels is an essential addition to New World Voudou from the White John mysteries, and especially Sanse or Puerto Rican Voudou. Archons or Angelic beings are a cornerstone in the Western Occultism, including and most recognizably, Christianity. However, Angels are detailed in Kabbalistic texts pre-dating Christianity. It's a lesser-known secret the Jews of the Bible "borrowed" Angels from the theurgic practices they encountered in Babalon and from the Zoroastrian sects. 

The word "angel" creates confusion. Angel stems from a Greek word meaning messenger. "Angel" was adopted by Christianity and liberally applied to a myriad church approved of supernatural beings by those who understood the nomenclature and those who did not. This is seen in Sanse or Puerto-Rican Voudou, by the term "guardian angel" which is used frequently and interchangeably.  

You have a personal spirit guide we call your "sentinel." This spirit guide is always human dead and serves only you and your highest good. The sentinel spirit is often called your guardian angel. However, the terminology is incorrect. Angelic or Archonic beings are not human, nor are they spirits of the dead as they never experienced a physical existence. 

Everyone has a personal guardian angel just as they have a sentinel spirit. They are not the same, but their work parallels each other. Knowing you have a sentinel spirit and a personal guardian angel is usually enough. Neither desire notoriety past, acknowledging you know they exist and have accepted the task of guiding you for the sake of doing good deeds. However, there are benefits to discovering elements about each, mainly connecting in more personal ways. 

Our lineage of Voudou has rites, rituals, and ceremonies to suss out specifics regarding each. Sanse sees great value in discovering your personal sentinel spirit, but you are not required to know your angel. The angel does not care if you know who they are, but I personally see value in it. I encourage temple members to go through the process of finding out eventually. 

Your guardian angel works as a "Legba" or door opener for you to the Commission of Angels. Through their mediation, you can be connected to the mighty Seven Archangels and petition their aid, something you should do daily. Near all the Voudou Loa have a Saint who walks with them. A more profound mystery is that the Saint is learning from and advancing by understanding the mystery the Loa exemplifies. The Loa Tinjo Alawe and Belie Belcan (two of the seven Chief Loa) are known to be on par with the Archangel Raphael and Archangel Saint Michael. But I suspect that all of the five remaining Chief loa are also on par (or extremely close to it) with Archangels as well, but this is just my own supposition. 

The Seven Archangels correspond to the seven heavens and planetary powers. Part of real esoteric understanding is knowing each heaven and planet holds an active sway over the Earth for 24 hours (a day) before returning to a 144 inactive duration. 

Calling for the intercession of the Archangel of each specific day prepares a table for you within the heaven they hold dominion. Each Archangel interacts with one of your seven major energetic bodies, acting as conduits for you and their associated planetary force. This mediation incurs deep healing, psychic awakening, and the strengthening of your energetic bodies, or auras.

Anytime during the associated day (morning is best), make the sign of the cross over your body and speak aloud the prayer. A white candle is also best to have lit but not required. These prayers address God to petition for the Archangel's instruction to intercession into your life, also the altar of God's is everywhere and anything.

The level of etheric protection and spiritual progression garnered and enjoyed through a regular regiment of these daily angelic prayers cannot be overstated.

Archangel Michael

Almighty God, Papa Buen Dios, in the name of your Son who rose from the dead on the first day of the week, I come to you in thanks and praise for your glory. I ask you to look after my mind and my body, my health and in all matters of success and fortune. I ask also for illumination in matters of knowledge I may seek, and that you send the Archangel Michael to be my guide and our protector. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. 

Amen.

PRAYER FOR MONDAY

Archangel Gabriel

Papa Buen Dios, Almighty Living God, I glorify you this day in all my work, and ask that you help me to be in the right place at the right time for opportunity, to help me understand whatever messages you send me in my dreams, and send your Archangel Gabriel to defend me, and to help me understand both the messages and the opportunities you provide. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. Amen.

PRAYER FOR TUESDAY

Archangel Kamael

Papa Buen Dios, God of Strength and Power, this day I thank you for all the graces you have bestowed upon me, and I ask that you help me to edge out competition in my endeavors, grant me the energies to see my project through to completion, the strength of will to persevere to the end, and lend me the sword of your Archangel Kamael against all who would see me undone. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. Amen.

PRAYER FOR WEDNESDAY

Archangel Raphael 

Papa Buen Dios, Lord of Hosts, I give you praise for your bounty throughout creation and ask that my communications with my fellow human beings be accurate and effective, that my technology continues to work without fail, that I reach my destinations while traveling, and that I learn the lessons of today’s experiences toward building a better tomorrow. I also ask that my body continues to work without fail and that my health should not falter. That my mind stay clear and sharp, so I am able to steer my course in life. With the staff of your Archangel Raphael to guide me, protect me and teach me, I seek to praise and glorify you forever. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. 

Amen.

PRAYER FOR THURSDAY

Archangel Sachiel

Papa Buen Dios, I come before you this day in a spirit of love and jubilation. I give thanks for the abundance of your creation and praise for your giving me life to be part of that abundance. And I ask that you help me increase that abundance in my live and my possessions, and that your righteous Archangel Sachiel will assist me in my defense, growth and prosperity. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. 

Amen.

PRAYER FOR FRIDAY

Archangel Anael

Papa Buen Dios. You are holy, Lord of Hosts, and I praise the majesty of your victory and glory. I ask also that you will watch over and strengthen me and my relationships: personal, romantic, and professional. Make my relationships strong and help me to reach out and form new ones not only for my happiness and prosperity but also for the glorification of your name. I request the intercession and pure love of your Archangel Anael to shield me and help me in this endeavor. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. 

Amen

PRAYER FOR SATURDAY

Archangel Cassiel 

Papa Bon Dios, on Saturday your Son waited in the tomb before rising up from the dead, and on that day he descended into Limbo to free the noble souls who were there constrained. I see in this that a flower’s beauty is constrained within a seed, and for it to become a flower the seed must be ended and changed forever. Create in me this change, bringing about an end to old conditions that no longer suit me that I may blossom in new life. Send forth your Archangel Cassiel to end my enemies, my loneliness, my sickness, my poverty, and my ignorance, that I may live a life filled with love, with health, with prosperity, and with knowledge, in so doing I may glorify you day by day, more and more. I ask this through my personal savior and guardian angel. Amen.

Fire from Below. Ascension through the Black Arts.

An excerpt from another e-mail:

"How can you talk about connecting with higher level spirits when you summon demons and practice the black arts?" 

I am being asked this from the perspective of European daemonology so I shall focus on Lucifer for my answer.

Lucifer is God's first creation, fashioned for one counter-intuitive purpose; rebellion. As a brilliant but arrogant Archon, Lucifer quickly sought to both defy and usurp God. Whether by force or by choice, Lucifer eventually exited God's visible light, and entered outer darkness. Lucifer meaning light-bringer or torch-bearer, has no choice but to carry God's eternal flame as he illuminated the abyss, inevitably spreading God's fire from the Creator's unmovable position, known as the Alpeh, or Alpha. The Alpeh or Alpha of the Alpha and the Omega...for the Creator is both.

This fire is God's ever expanding consciousness. The fire is life and death, it both warms and consumes. Our experiences, from birth to death, are God's experiences, and as God's personal understanding increases so to does the potential for our own. God is perfection not yet fully realized nor attained. Perfection is the end leading to stagnation and what becomes stagnant dies. Lucifer's eternal rebellion against God, his continual distancing from the visible light of God, building distant dimly lit kingdoms to imitate God, and all within the outer darkness of God's unending psyche; serves to bring illumination and make known to God what God is. The mystery of God is infinite, the perfection inherent within God can never be fully realized, nor attained, and thereby life is forever.

In Kabbalistic terms Malkuth, or Earth, is one of countless physical realities Lucifer carried God's light too. We are a far away kingdom shrouded in dwindled radiance; the dull black altar of Malkuth encircled by muted colors of dense materializing elemental forces. If we are to glimpse the face of God, then one possibility to do so is to ascend skyward on wings of fire. A spiritual rocket propulsion system which ignition begins when we delve into the infernal. The infernal in respects to European Daemonology is the astral daemons, most notable the Ars Goetia, the Seventy-Two daemons of Solomon, but the daemons of the Grimorium Verum, and Black Raven also apply.

King Paimon

I have stated many times, working out of Daemonological Grimoires, will either make you or break you. Even though the daemon is summoned as an ally, the relationship between daemon and conjurer is (always will be) adversarial (if it is to be a healthy relationship). The daemon never has your best interest at heart. Some daemons are more congenial than others. King Paimon, Vassago, and Seere, are good- natured. But be warned as good-natured, or amiable is different than good. Ted Bundy possessed a friendly inviting smile and was very polite. Ted also had a plethora of sadistically tortured and sexually mutilated female bodies in his basement. Don't be someone who can't see the forest because of the trees.

A magician employing the Ars Goetia places his or herself in proximity of astral daemons. This triggers a multitude of contingencies. More often the daemons eventually bend the magician to do their will. Why is this? Daemons are portrayed as belligerent misshapen monsters, thirsting for blood and dealing vice. True, some fit that stereotype. However the majority seem indifferent at worst. Not pleasant but a far distant cry from a nightmarish jumble of scales and claws. Expecting the boilers of hell the magician instead finds a hot tub. The magician eases in, and to his or her peril, gets too comfortable. Subtly the daemons once bound by the magician, start giving orders and set the magician to task.

Michael and Lucifer

We must be careful. Lucifer is second only to God (there is a complex mystery regarding Archon Lucifer and Archon Michael but that is for another post). Lucifer creates by mimicking God. Lucifer may have delivered us the spark of divinity so we might wield God's power (magic and science), but Lucifer is not God. As we employ magic and science we must be clear in our objectives. If we walk Lucifer's path attending to just our own desire and vanities; as Lucifer is still an agent of God by virtue of his arrogance, we also shall become slaves to daemons by virtue of ours.

Lucifer embodies selfishness. His splendor out shines the sun's but provides little warmth. Above all Lucifer desires adoration. He demands ever increasing sacrifice but gives very little of himself in return. Lucifer is the holographic capstone the Illuminati seek to materialize and complete their great work of world domination. However Lucifer topples all who's glory might rival his. Thereby any great work done in Lucifer name is a monument to vulgar stupidity.

If however one walks God's path when conjuring daemons to aid in their great work, a chain reaction of spiritual alchemy is set into motion by what my linage terms "moral friction".  This friction occurs as the moral force of the magician meets the moral force of the daemon. As previously stated the relationship between magician and daemon must remain adversarial. Contrary to the obscene idiocy of certain internet occultists, the magician is never to align with the daemon's agenda, unless the magician's ultimate goal is to be committed to mental institutions and become jaundice tinted junkies. This is not to say one cannot be empowered by a daemon (my occult work is supported by a legion of daemons. I use powders, pills, elixirs, philters, etc all empowered by daemonic forces), however daemons work for me, and to achieve my great work on the path of God the Most High.

Moral Friction

The daemon's moral force should act as a grindstone for sharpening the Magician's moral authority. The daemon will continually test the resolve of the magician, and like the Zionist money lenders, offer deals to the magician with terms which are near impossible to keep. If the magician foolishly accepts then piece by piece the daemon will own the magician part and parcel. The magician on the path of God, constructing his or her own temple of Solomon, achieving their great work, ceaselessly wrestles to remain as both grand architect and on site foreman. The magician commands the daemon as there no other sane alternative. The magician expects the daemon to offer resistance, and attempt to deviate the magician off the path of God. It is then the magician may step into opposing moral force of the daemon, create moral friction, and hone his or her edge.

It is the sparks caused by moral friction which ignite the magician's spiritual propulsion system, set his or her wings ablaze, and ascends the magician's incendiary soul skywards toward the celestial realms. The magician is God in miniature. Lucifer is to God what lesser daemons are to the magician. Lucifer is mighty enough to provide moral friction for God. God is the greatest magician and scientist in ALL creation, forever on a quest for deeper understanding of God's own self. One could say the sparks which fly from the moral friction between God and Lucifer are the sparks of our divinity and the creation of lesser daemons. To meditate on and draw intelligent parallels between Lucifer and God, and lesser daemons and the magician would not be a fruitless exercise in the great work of a magician utilizing black magic as an avenue for elevation.
