Prayer to Maia, mother of Hermes



Refulgent, lofty Maia of starry gaze, eldest one of all luminaries. Bound with Zeus in sacred union, Thou didst beget venerable Hermes, whereat the whole cosmos rejoiced. Purest of countenance, comeliest of all Thy sisters, who didst enthrone Thyself upon  the heavenly vault, circumscribing the celestial pole in harmonious circles. Mighty ZIZAUBIÔ, thy holy angel, venerates Thee, and brings Thy will upon the terrestrial regions, weaving the four elements in sacred equilibrium. Goddess, do Thou attend to these sacred rites, at this very hour and moment, bestowing Thy favour on mine endeavours.

Sufi planetary magic

I present here a selection of Sufi magical lore and rites, translated by myself from the Spanish edition of the Shamsu l-Ma'arif , arguably the most important Islamic magical text ever written. I have not experimented with these techniques, and have little familiarity with Sufism generally, but my curiosity impelled me to translate some of the text's methods of planetary theurgy. Despite not practicing this tradition, I can attest to the tremendous power inherent in long, continuous recitation of Names, which is a recurrent method in Sufism, and which I apply to the traditions I practice. The Shamsu l-Ma'arif has its own rich collection of planetary magic squares, which differ from the more common Qameas we use in the west. The selections I have published here involve the use of particular titles of God in conjunction with different planets for various uses, as well as specific letter & number squares to be used as talismans to produce the intended effects

First steps in Greco-Egyptian magic

Image
Newcomers to the PGM invariably wonder what practices they should first take up. The methodology here is based on my initial approach around 2011-2012, and I can attest to its transformative effects when done regularly & diligently. Essential, first-stage, regular practices: - The adoration to the sun God Phrê for success (PDM XIV, 475-480)     - The adoration to the Lord of the Universe (Corpus Hermeticum I) - The Recitation of the Heptagram (alignment with the 7 vowels, PGM XIII, 824-835) - The Hidden Stele (PGM IV 1115) - The Secret Hymn / Hymn of   Rebirth (Corpus Hermeticum XIII) - The prayer of Thanksgiving (The Perfect Discourse) At the end of this post, I included my versions of these. You can incorporate all the above into a daily regime as follows. Recite the adoration to Phrê eastward seven times right after waking up; perform the Heptagram while showering (even if you're in a confined space, simply pivot on your axis); toward midday recite the ador
