Preliminary Daimon Work

The Road to Abramelin

Mother Wit Higher Self Meditation Relax, deepen & protect yourself. Now move even deeper, move very deeply within. I am going to count from one to ten & by the time I reach the count of one you will be deep, very, very deep. (Count). You are now very deep in trance, you are now moving into your greater awareness, into your higher self. Feel you consciousness expanding. You are very light & very free, growing, glowing, expanding, moving easily into your greater awareness, into your deity essence. From this greater perspective, you will have knowledge & experience not ordinarily accessible to you in your usual waking reality. You may now look at your life as you form it. You will become aware of yourself, your soul's purpose & you will be able to integrate this knowledge & awareness into your usual waking reality. Stay with this perspective now & observe you life in a loving & spontaneous way. (Pause about five to ten minutes.) Now feel this awareness fading away as you move up & back into your waking reality, bringing with you all that you have gained. Know that you can come into contact with this aspect of yourself whenever you wish. Now open your eyes & be filled with energy. Your Guardian Angel & You (The last portion of this book is in the file, but only contains info on the Abramelin work, inspiration to let you know that it isn't a rigid structure. What follows are the few things I thought would be useful from the first section of the book) Connecting with your Guardian Angel You will need a white candle and some salt. Go somewhere quiet where you will not be disturbed. Toss a little of the salt about you. Imagine all negative energies and thoughts flying away. Light the candle and pray to God in whatever manner you like that your mind may be open to the divine and that you may communicate with your Guardian Angel. It I best that you make your own prayer, but it can be something like this: God, energy and light that pervades all things May I become open to seeing the divine in all things and places May I be open to accepting the divine in my life Amy I be open to receiving guidance and help from my Guardian Angel By your love and will that you give to me, so may it be. Sit quietly for a few moments and open yourself to the divine light and energy around you. Breathe deeply and feel the light fill you. You are opening yourself as a flower opens to the sunlight. Now, ask for a touch from your Guardian Angel. What you are doing is opening your mind and your energetic body to the contact with the divine, you are opening yourself to perceive levels of reality to which you were previously blind! When you are done, absorb all the light and energy into your body. Sprinkle salt about to cleanse the area, and blow out the candle. Meeting Your guardian Angel the Staircase Do this exercise in your bedroom or in another place that is quiet and warm, where you can lie down without being bothered for an hour or so. The place should have low lighting or even just a candle or two. Breathe deeply and relax your body. Now, consciously relax each part of your body as you breathe

deeply and slowly in and out: Relax your feet; take off your shoes and totally relax. Relax your ankles; pretend that they are no longer there. Feel every muscle relax! Relax your legs. Relax your thighs. Relax your loins. Relax your lower back completely. Relax your upper back. Relax your stomach; just let go. Relax your chest; just relax. Relax your arms; they are light... Relax your shoulders; they have never been so relaxed... Your neck is so relaxed it never felt so great. Relax your head; your head no longer feels like a part of you. Relax all you face muscles... now your whole body is relaxed and light as a feather... The peace you now feel can always be with you. Breathe slowly but do not fall asleep! You will now go on a mental journey to a special beautiful place where you Guardian Angel waits for you! Close your eyes and visualize a spiral staircase. Imagine a light up a the top of these stairs. At the top of the stairs is a door. Walk up the stairs: first step, second, third, fourth, fifth, halfway there, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, tenth. Look at the door before you. It is open a little; there is a light coming from behind it. Examine the door carefully until it is completely clear to you and as real as can be. Now, open the door and walk through. You are in a beautiful place that is amazing and yet familiar; isn't it lovely? It is a special place for you. Enjoy it, sit and simply soak up the beauty. Call with all you love and will to your Guardian Angel. At this point, you will have a personal experience with your angel. Ask any questions you want, but make sure to ask your angel to strengthen the bond between you. Tell your Guardian Angel that you wish to understand more. Then Say good-bye to your angel. Remember that it is always with you and will never leave you, all you have to do is ask it to come and it will. Get up, go to the door and open it. You see the stairs in front of you with a small light at the bottom. Carefully descend. Take one step, say good-bye; second step, third, fourth... you are leaving. Fifth step, you are halfway down. Sixth step, seventh, you are almost home. Eighth, you are getting closer. Ninth, tenth, you are home. You are back in your body. Feel your arms, legs, back, and all parts of your body. When you open your eyes, you will feel relaxed and good, and will from now on have a closer relationship with your Guardian Angel. Now, record your experiences in a journal. Meeting Your Guardian Angel the Mirror When you are comfortable and relaxed, do the following: Close your eyes and relax. Breathe in. Hold. Breathe out. Hold. Do this for five minutes. Completely relax. With every inhalation, you are filled with white light. With every exhalation, breathe out cloudy-gray stress and negativity. Relax and be filled with light. Pray in whatever manner you like, asking God to help you see and connect with your Guardian Angel. Then slowly open your eyes and see the mirror before you. You see yourself. Look into your eyes. Your face is calm. Think this phrase over and over: Self is self, Angel appear, Reflection reveal, make it clear You see and aura of energy about your reflection. Soon your reflection begins to glow. It begins to

change. It becomes your self, and yet not yourself. It is glowing with pure light. It is smiling, it is beautiful. It is beaming love at you. When this new image becomes clear and stops changing, stop your silent repetition of the phrase. Ask your Self/Guardian Angel for a symbol, a sign, or a name. It will be given to you. When you are ready to end this, touch the mirror with both hangs. The angelic reflection reaches out to meet you. Feel the light fill you; feel the energy of love fill you; feel your angel fill you. Then the reflection changes again, until it is again just a reflection of you. But you are smiling and filled with light. Meditating on Your Guardian Angel Perform this meditation for about ten minutes once or twice a day as you like. You will need a quiet time when you will not be disturbed, and relaxing, comfortable clothes and surroundings. Sit in a comfortable chair, at a time when you will not be disturbed. You should be completely relaxed and comfortable and should not have taken any kind of drug, including coffee, tobacco, or large amounts of sugar. Morning is often the best time for this, though evening is also a good time. Relax and breathe deeply and rhythmically, sometimes counting in and out. Focus on your breathing and release your mind, letting thought processes and ego-babble simply run their course without attachment until your mind is quiet. You can sometimes achieve this through a single-minded focus on one specific thought. Image, prayer, or sound to the exclusion of all others. When your mind is quiet, pray to the divine in whatever way you wish, in whatever tradition you are comfortable. Pray for the removal of obstacles, for self-knowledge, and for greater awareness. See a ring of pure white light about you, protecting you from all harm and filling you with pure, white light that banishes all stress and negativity. Sit and breathe quietly. Breathe this white light into your body and feel yourself filled with it until you are completely at peace. Relax and meditate like this for a couple of minutes. Let the normal mental babble and millions of stray thoughts flow through your mind. Do not seek to stop them, bu withdraw from them, let them go like eddies on a river, simply ignore them and hold yourself as still as possible. Let your mind go but hold to the center of your being. Relax, relax. If you are in any way uncomfortable, stop what you are doing and try again another time. You cannot hurt yourself or in any way endanger yourself if you are meditating surrounded by divine light! Relax! When you are ready, breathe in deeply and silently say to yourself: Guardian Angel, come to me. Then exhale slowly and say to yourself: With Love and Will, so may it be! Pause, then repeat this breathing exercise for as long as you like five minutes is wonderful then let it fade away. Continue to slow breathing in and out and open your mind, heart, and body to your Guardian Angel. It will come. No matt3er what you see or feel, stay relaxed and centered. Do not become emotional or try to force the experience. This is meditation; you are passive ane are3 not doing anything, simply accepting the experience. When this communication is over ad you will know when it is simply pray in any way you feel comfortable to the divine, thanking God for the gift and experience and asking for a constantly growing awareness of the divine and of your Guardian Angel! It is important that you lat go of your desires and worldly thoughts during this meditation. When you are done, again see yourself surrounded by white light and see it disperse or fade into the Earth. Slowly come back to the physical world and record your experiences. Empowering Your Body Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for at least fifteen minutes. Somewhere outside near

a tree is best, but anywhere comfortable and quiet will do. Sit still and breathe normally. Become aware of all the parts of your body as you steadily breathe in and out. Calm yourself and relax every part of you. See yourself surrounded by a ring of white light that drives away all negative feelings and thoughts. Place your hands together and pray in whatever way you feel comfortable. Pray for healing, balancing, and purification of your body. Feel your hands become warm; they are filled with white light. Concentrate on your hands filled with light. Ask your guardian Angel to help you find health and balance now. As you place your hands on each body part, feel and see it infused with glowing white light. Place your hands on your right leg and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your left leg and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your right shoulder and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your left shoulder and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your loins and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your heart and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on your forehead and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Place your hands on top of your head and then bring them together in front of you and say: I heal and purify myself with the divine light, OM! Touch the ground with your hands and see all the negative energies that you have banished with the white light flow into the Earth. Offer a prayer to help heal yourself and to help heal all those who suffer in the world. Sit and breathe deeply for a moment. You are done! Seeing Your True Will Sit quietly and close your eyes. See yourself as a blazing star in space, slowly moving in your own specific orbit. Look back and see where you have been in your life. See the successful moments, accomplishments, and relationships as points along your orbital path. See all the wrong moments failed relationships bad jobs, and fish out of water experiences as moments that pulled you off the orbit you made through space. Think carefully. What do the on-track experiences and relationships have in common? What sorts of things got you off track and made you unhappy? Where are you now in this vision? Are you right on track with your orbit/ Slightly off? Way off? Project this orbit into the future from the perspective of pas positive experiences you had. Where should your orbit take you? Is this where you are headed? If not, what can you do to get back on track? No one can tell you where you have been or where you are meant to go. All I can tell you is this, and I know it for certain: every one of us is a star. Each star has an optimal orbit that it needs to follow to be all that it can be to make the most of this life and to fulfill part of the larger divine pattern. Many forces around you, including other people, institutions, and negative traditions may try their best, for their own reasons, to pull your star out of orbit, to snare it and enslave it to another Will. It is the duty of every star to resist these forces and to persist in seeking real happiness by doing its own True Will That is, following the proper path, regardless of what others say or do. Is this that easy way? No, of course not. But it is the way of personal power. And you have a great ally in this work Your Guardian Angel.

Petitioning Your Guardian Angel With a Guardian Angel, this takes the form of active prayer, of simply asking your question or stating your need in clear images and feelings. A number of meditations have been presented. Simply take the one you like best and, within it, create a time where you petition or ask questions of your angel. Then be ready for an answer. The answer may be a dream. It may be a coincidence, or arrive as a call from a friend. You may use an oracle too ask the question. The choice is yours. The key here is that you establish clarity of mind, body and spirit before asking anything of your Guardian Angel. Do not bother your Guardian Angel with silly questions or questions whose answers you already know or can find on your own. Your angel exists to guide and help you, not humor silliness or indulge laziness. Real questions, real needs, and real calls for help will always be answered, as long as they involve your spiritual growth and welfare. Frame your questions in very simple images and symbols. Remember, you are communicating with a being that is spiritually far beyond anything human. Keep it direct and simple. Questions like, what should I do next? How can I help others? And How can I solve my anger problem?, are all clear and easy to communicate with emotion and focus. Thik long and hard about your questions before placing them before your Guardian Angel. Meditate on the wording. Ask yourself: Do I really need divine help with this or can I deal with it on my own? Refine your request. Examine your motives! Make sure that they are spiritual in nature and partake in love. Sigil Writing Take a piece of paper and a pen. Write your question in one sentence. Cross off all the letters that repeat. Now, take the remaining letters and create a sigil or symbol with them. Draw this symbol on a small piece of paper, and throw all the other writing away. Light a white candle and call your Guardian Angel as you have already learned to do. Now pray to your Guardian Angel; pray hard and long, fill your prayer with the need to know the answer to your question. When you have reached an emotional frenzy, concentrating all the time on your sigil, burn the sigil in the candle flame. As you do so, see yourself giving this glowing symbol to your Guardian Angel. Your angel takes it and fades away. Breathe, meditate until you are calm, pray and thank your Guardian Angel. Then blow out the candle. Your answer will come. Piercing the Kleshas The goal of this exercise is to focus your attention and the attention of your Guardian Angel on your kleshas so that you will be better able to pierce them and be aware of them as they emerge in your life. You will need a quiet place, a white candle, five small pieces of gray paper, a little sale, a small dark ceramic bowl, and a black marker pen. You will also want to burn a little sage or juniper. First, take a quiet bath in which you have sprinkled some salt. After wards, sit quietly facing North, with the papers and candle before you. Sprinkle salt all about you and say: Out, out. Throughout and about All good come in; all evil stay out. Sit in the dark and think about the kleshas, those negative unbalanced aspects of your Shadow. Think of how they have emerged and hindered and harmed you in the past. Light the candle and pray or chant to your Guardian Angel. Say something like: Guardian Angel Come to me Fill me with light Unveil my sight Reveal my Shadow

That I may see. Take up the pen and write each of these words at the top of a separate piece of paper: Ignorance, Attachment, Repulsion, Anger, and Clinging to life. On the back of each of these papers, write how that klesha has hindered or harmed you in the past. When done, place the pages about the candle and think deeply about all five of them. Ask your Guardian Angel to help you overcome and move beyond them day to day. Then, one by one, burn the papers and let the ashes fall into the bowl. Ask you do so, say: Holy Guardian Angel, Be here now Banish all evil Remove all fear Replace ignorance with knowledge Calm the fires of attraction Make me more accepting of that which repels me Replace my anger with peace And lead me to accept the end of life By the power of the love and will you embody! When you are done, see the room fill with the white light of your Guardian Angel. Pray for specific changes in your behavior and think that you feel you need to make. Let the weight of the kleshas fall from your shoulders with the help of your Guardian Angel. When done, scatter a little salt about you once again saying: Out, out. Throughout and about All good come in, all evil stay out. Then go and bury the ashes at the food of a tree. Confronting Your Shadow Do this exercise in a dark room where you will not be disturbed. You may sit on the floor or on a chair. You will need a mirror big enough to see your face. You will also need a little salt and two candles, one white and one black. Put each in a candle holder and set them on either side of the mirror. Take a quiet bath in which you have sprinkled some salt. When ready, go to the room. Sit quietly facing North, facing the mirror. Sprinkle some salt about you and say: Out, out. Throughout and about All good come in, all evil stay out. Now, pray to your Guardian Angel, asking it to come and aid you in this work. Say something like: Guardian Angel Come to me Fill me with light Unveil my sight Reveal the Shadow That I may see! Light both candles, saying something like: Light calls to darkness Darkness shadows light I balance between them Evil and right. May light over come And guide the Shadow Let it be done!

Gaze into the mirror at your reflection. Bring to mind all the evil and self-centered things you have done. Call forth your small, selfish, ego-centered self! Soon your facial image will become hazy. Think all the common bad thoughts you ponder, examine your worst fantasies and the terrible things you feel and think but never talk about. In short, let your Shadow appear in your reflection. When you see the face of your Shadow in your reflection and it may be shocking quickly take up the marker and draw and upward-pointing triangle about it, saying: By my angel By the light By all that's good By all that's right I conjure thee To be guided by my angel So may it be! Call upon your Guardian Angel and see the triangle you have drawn surrounded by pure light! Pray or chant to your Guardian Angel to guide your Shadow so that you may grow and find real happiness and success. As you do this, draw a circle around the triangle, then place a dot on the center of the triangle. Breathe deeply and feel that Shadow covered by the light. Let the light fill you, banishing all bits of Shadow, evil thoughts and feelings, until you are calm and peaceful and filled with light. Say something like: Guardian Angel Praise to thee Guide my Shadow and set me free Forever protect Always help me As we will So may it be! Blow out the candles and wipe the marker off the mirror with a damp paper towel. Scatter a little salt all about you and on the mirror and once again say: Out out, Throughout and about All good come in, all evil stay out. Then burn the paper towel and bury the ashes at the foot of a tree. Your True Guardian Angel -Your Guardian Angel will never order you to do anything. The divine plan for humans revolves around Free or Tue Will. You angel will only nudge, suggest, offer, and warn. If you feel a spiritual entity ordering you to do this or that, it is not your Guardian Angel. -You Guardian Angel will always manifest or communicate through the feeling of love. -Your Guardian Angel will never recommend that you commit mental, physical, or spiritual violence against a living being or harm another no matter what. -Your Guardian Angel exists to guide, help, and teach, never punish your for doing or not doing something. This does not mean that action or inaction cannot cause pain; they can. But your angel is not responsible for such action or inaction; you are. Your angel will merely try to warn or help you. -Your Guardian Angel will never suggest you do something you know is wrong. This does not mean that your angel will not help you open your mind to accept things you previously rejected. Guidance from your angel may even lead you to make changes in your life you once rejected. The point is, your angel will never push you to do something that is against your core beliefs. - Your Guardian Angel will never build up your ego. Let me clarify: Your Guardian Angel will never tell you that you are better, smarter, more beautiful, or more holy than other people. This does not mean that your angel will not help you see what a great person you are. It just means your angel will never

tell you that you are superior to others. - Your Guardian Angel will let you learn at your own pace, even if it means stumbling over a particular life-lesson over and over. Your angel will not push or impel you to learn something faster than you are able to handle. Identifying Your Guardian Angel through Light Before you make contact with your Guardian Angel, do deep breathing and fill your space and your body with white light. Make sure that your mind, heart and body are clear of any serious imbalance or negative emotion and that you are reasonably comfortable and at peace. Make the white light an egg of power around you. Pray to the divine to purify you. When your Guardian Angel appears, cover it with this white light and divine energy. If it is really your Guardian Angel it will draw strength and joy from this stream of divine energy. If it fades away, it was not really your angel. Follow the same directions when you feel or hear the presence of your angel, but fill yourself and your surroundings when you feel or hear the presence of your angel, but fill yourself and your surroundings with divine white light. Again, if the presence leaves you, it was not your Guardian Angel. Identifying Your Guardian Angel through Prayer Before communing with your Guardian Angel, sprinkle salt about you or bathe in salt water. Make sure that you are clean in mind and body before calling upon your angel. You may also wish to perform other simple purifications like burning sage or juniper. Doing these things with prayerful intent or using mantras to call down divine energy will help you eliminate all negativity and open yourself to only the highest vibrations. All forms of meditation, prayer, and yoga will help prepare you for contact with your angel and will keep away all other entities.\ Identifying Your Guardian Angel through Symbols If you have cause to believe that a force identifying itself as your Guardian Angel is not what it says it is, challenge it. Focus on a religious or magical symbol that has great meaning to you, whatever symbol has the strongest influence on your spiritual path. Visualize this symbol very clearly glowing with white light, hovering at your heart. With as much pure love as you can summon, project that symbol at your Guardian Angel, or simply project it about you if the presence of your angel is not clearly focused. If the being that is communicating with you is really your angel, you will feel a returned blessing of love. If it is not, it will flee.
