Order of St. Michael Study Guide - Magdalene Circle

upon all beings, and the dedication of merit to all beings. This concludes the practice of invoking thekerubic form of Archangel Michael for divine guardianship.If this is to be practiced for another person in need of divine guardianship, the image of that person inlight-body may be drawn into the sacred circle once the full emanation is complete – their light-bodybeing envision within your emanation body manifest as Archangel Michael; conversely, you may alsoemanate a light-body in the form of Archangel Michael and envision that you go to the person,performing this practice in the subtle dimension of their own space – either way it is modified, thepractice remains basically the same. It may also be performed for an entire circle, community or groupof people by envisioning them in light-bodies within the sacred circle, and again, the practice remainsbasically the same.(This practice may also be used as a general method of self-purification.)In such theurgic practices at no time should a human person ever be the object of focus, but rather any“strike” must be focused against the negative forces within and behind a person – for as it is written,“…our battle is not with blood and flesh…”This practice can be used to defend against assaults of dark and hostile forces, and likewise to banishdark and hostile forces from a place; however it is not used as an “exorcism” of negative forces“possessing” a person, but rather other methods are used for that purpose by Templar initiates.As mentioned at the outset, a ceremonial version of this practice can be done in which the Templardraws her or his sword, though most often we find that is not necessary, as this is a very powerful andeffective practice apart from any outward gesture. According to the tradition, a master of the art doesnot need to draw their sword to accomplish anything, but rather can accomplish everything by a simpleconscious intention, all in the Grace of the Risen Messiah. This well speaks our noble ideal as Templarsof the Holy Grail.In more extreme circumstances there is a similar practice that invokes the Archangel Kamael, likewisethere is a practice invoking the wrathful emanation of Kamael, the “Lord of the Wrathful Palace” aswell as the “Four Great Wrathful Guardians” and “Twenty-Two Wrathful Guardians” of the Palace. I willshare the basic invocation of Kamael in another post as its own topic of discussion, but leave the“Wrathful Palace” as a mouth-to-ear transmission.18
