to supply the energy needed. In some forms of sex magic, and indeed
some forms of ritual magic, Elementals, that is, artificially created ones,
can be made and invested with Etheric energy, even though their lifespan
is only for a few hours at best. While part of this formula is included in
the Golden Dawn's papers on talismans, it is barely the tip of the iceberg,
because animals can be created, whether they be real or imaginary. The
limit to their powers is with the operator, with his or her Etheric Body
supplying their energy needs.
Another aspect where the Etheric Body is utilized directly is in Spiritualism,
especially in cases where an ectoplasm is found. This phenomenon
can, in fact, protrude a number of meters out of the physical body. In
any form of magnetic healing, whether it be direct from another individual
or from a machine to stimulate the currents, then the Etheric Body is
the one being utilized. Passes, with the hands or an elemental weapon,
made over the body then work directly into the Etheric Body and create
the "wash" effect of energy stimulating the various meridians. In
acupuncture one uses this type of situation, and in forms of Taoism the
deeper psychic channels are also used. These are likened to rivers of energy,where
the acupuncture meridians are analogous to streams. In magical
works, such as in talismanic rituals, it is the energy of the Etheric Body
that impregnates itself into the talisman. A good example of this in ritual
is the use of the "Sign of the Enterer" and the "Sign of Silence." The
first stimulates the flow of the Etheric energy, while the second cancels it
and is used as a checking device. The Grade Signs of the Outer Order are
all working from the Etheric energy; the only difference between them is
vibrational pitch and flow rate.
Similarly, in color healing one has a process where the Erheric Body
can be categorized into as many divisions as there are colors, though for
the most part a seven- or twelve-division is normally used. These colors
are closely allied with planetary and zodiac energies. It is also during ritual
initiation that varying grades can be shown in the division of the
Etheric Body and color and planetary energies can be considered a yardstick
on this.
The next important aspect of ritual work and the Etheric energy is in
the theory of God-form assumption. When the astral shells are created in
