- Invoke clockwise starting at the point, banish counter-clockwise at the point.
- Start with the point of the desired force, then go to the opposite one. E.g. for Mercury the first triangle starts and ends with point D and the second triangle with point C.
- For Kether and Chesed use Saturn hexagrams.
- For Tipharet and Sol use all six hexgrams going in descending order from Saturn to Luna.
- For Malkuth, Head of the Dragon, or Tail of the Dragon use Luna hexagrams.
- For a unicursal style invoke clockwise towards the point, and banish counterclockwise away from the point.
- For Sol with a unicursal hexagram start and end with point G.
- In general paired triangle styles are good for Macrocosmic work, which unicursal is good for Microcosmic work.

- All hexagrams are formed of two triangles, a Fire (up) and Water (down) one.
- The Fire hexgram just flips the Water triangle up.
- The Earth hexagram is what is normaly though of a hexagram.
- The Air hexgram just slides them apart.
- The Water hexagram slides them in the opposite direction so their tips touch.
- Mars and Mercury are always on the left side.
- Jupiter and Venus are always on the right side.
- Saturn is always the point of the Fire triagle.
- Luna is always the point of the Water triagle.

Lesser Rules
- Form the triangle with the point of the desired planet.
- Form the triangle of the point of the opposite planet.
- Vibrate ARARITA.
- Used for controlling gross and base planetary energies.
- Ideal for Low magic and daily working.
- For GD style hexagram rites start with the QC and end with the Analysis of the Keyword.
Lesser GD Examples
(These will be replaced by pictures eventualy.)
- It is easier to remeber what triagle to draw first and what side the planet is on, and to use the oposite for the second one.
- LBRH (of Saturn): Fire top, Water bottom, both counter-clockwise.
- Should be just like a bowel movement: for the best health have one good one each day.
- Since the planets are associated with Sepharic energies they have the same property that they contain the energies over everything below them.
- Therefore for daily practices or rites that involve more than one planet use Saturn.
- LRH of Jupiter: Water right, Fire left.
- LRH of Mars: Water left, Fire right.
- LRH of Sol: Hexagram of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and finaly Luna.
- LRH of Venus: Fire right, Water left.
- LRH of Mercury: Fire left, Water, right.
- LRH of Luna: Water botom, Fire top.
Lesser Unicursal Forms
- These examples use the points of the hexagram diagram at the begining of the page.
- LBRH (of Saturn): A D C F B E A.
- These use the letters from the hexagram diagram at the top of the page.
- Careful when tracing them since there are more duplicate line usage than with the pentagrams.
- The main advantage of unicursal versus GD is the hexagram of Sol, just one instead of six.
- LIRH of Jupiter: D C F B E A D
- LBRH of Jupiter: C D A E B F C
- LBRH of Mars: E B F C D A E
- LBRH of Mars: B E A D C F B
- LIRH of Sol: G C F B E A D G
- LBRH of Sol: G E A D C F B G
- LIRH of Venus: B E A D C F B
- LBRH of Venus: E B F C D A E
- LIRH of Mercury: C D A E B F C
- LBRH of Mercury: D C F B E A D
- LIRH of Luna: C F B E A D C
- LBRH of Luna: F B E A D C F
Supreme Rules
- In the East form the hexagram of the desired planet and vibrate ARARITA. If multiple planets are being called use the hexagram of Saturn.
- Repeat this in the South, West, and North quarters.
- Invoke desired planets one by one in their physical locations at the time of the rite starting in the East moving clockwise to the North as such:
- Drawn the hexagram for the desired planet.
- Draw the sigil of the planant in the center of the hexagram.
- Vibrate the proper Sephira Name.
- Vibrate ARARITA.
- Vibrate the proper letter of ARARITA for the planet.
- Form the L.V.X. Gestures.
- If the zodiacal force is to be employed as well trace the planet's sigil in the center of the first triangle drawn, and the sigil of the zodiac in the second one drawn.
- Repeat in the South, West, and North quarters as needed.
- Used for controlling sephiric energies, the most spiritual form of the planet, and zodiacal forces with planetary forces.
- Commonly used in High magic and workings that have high energy and character demands of the magician, e.g. Sephira Spirit Travel.
- Zodiacal forces must be paired with a planet.
- Zodiacal forces are dictated by the physical positionings of the planets. If there are no planets physically in the sign at the time of the rite, then it cannot be used. If the planet desired to be worked with is not in a desirable sign it, cannot be swapped.
- If a magician wants to use a zodiacal force with a planet when the planet is not physically in that sign, it should use the Supreme Pentagram ritual instead.
- When forming Luna's sigil use the proper one for the current phase, i.e. wax cresent, wane cresent, white circle for full, and black circle for new.
Supreme Example 1
- Let's say you want to chat with Gabriel so we have to do a Luna rite.
- Let's also say that you live in Paris Texas USA and will do this on July 23, 2005 at 9:30 PM.
- We could construct a chart or just visit Astrolabe and put in the right information.
- Now the Ascendant, i.e. 9 o'clock, is East and the Descendant, i.e. 3 o'clock, is West.
- Looking at the chart Luna is in Pisces and closest to the West.
- Since we are dealing with Luna we need to know her phase. It can be check at Lunar Republic and she's Full.
- So for the rite first with the QC then continue with Luna hexagrams in all four quarters.
- We walk to the west and draw a Luna Hexagram in Puce
- Then we draw the sigil of the Full Moon in Blue.
- If we wanted a zodiacal force the only one would be Pisces. If so we draw it as well in Red-Violet.
- Now we vibrate SHADAI EL CHAI ARARITA ALEPH
- We finish it off by making the L.V.X. Gestures.
- Close the circle off and continue with the Analysis of the Keyword.
Supreme Example 2
- Let's say you want to learn about procreation and love and therefore to work with Venus and Mars.
- Let's also say that you live in Sandwich Illinois USA and will do this on February 14, 2004 at 8:00 AM.
- We could construct a chart or just visit Astrolabe and put in the right information.
- Now the Ascendant, i.e. 9 o'clock, is East and the Descendant, i.e. 3 o'clock, is West.
- Looking at the chart Venus is in Ares and to the East. Mars is in Taurus and in the East as well.
- So for the rite first with the QC then continue with Saturn hexagrams in all four quarters, since we are dealing with multiple planets.
- Now we walk to the East and draw a Mars Hexagram.
- Then we draw the sigil of Mars in the center.
- Now we vibrate ELOHIM GIBOOR ARARITA ALEPH.
- If we wanted to work with Taurus we would draw it in Red-Orange.
- We finish it off by making the L.V.X. Gestures.
- Still in the East and draw a Venus Hexagram.
- Then we draw the sigil of Venus in the center.
- Now we vibrate ELOHIM TZABAOTH ARARITA YOD.
- If we wanted to work with Ares we would draw it in Red.
- We finish it off by making the L.V.X. Gestures.
