A friend, T, taught me the LBRP this weekend. It’s one of the first rituals you learn in hermetic styles of magick.
As a direct mage, I work with the forces, connections and signatures behind the magick. Here are a few notes you might find interesting:
My participation was limited because I couldn’t say the names right, and I don’t have experience intoning. But just doing the ritual halfway, with T doing everything properly, was enough to make the system that handles these rituals recognize me and connect to me.
That system is a front-end system, responsible for interacting with users. It works with several back-end systems, responsible for doing the actual magick.
I asked the front-end system “What is the result of the ritual we just did?” It’s reply: That puts me (the system) into a particular state for future magick work. Presumably, a different ritual (LIRH, for example) would put it into a different state.
You can also achieve these states through a direct communication. So, you wouldn’t use these systems by just sending them an end-goal, but you could replace each ritual with a single command and get the same results.
