The Circle of 11 Serpents


This is a different kind of magic circle. The right way up, it's designed to attract Lilith. Reverse it and the Hebrew forms a protective circle to keep Lilith out. The text is Isaiah 27:1 - "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan, the piercing serpent; even Leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea".

I finished the circle on Wednesday from a second shorn sheepskin and, after a little experimentation, figured out how to tie the strips to make the closed circle. I threw together a ceremony to invoke Lilith and ask her blessing on these two implements. Just a simple purification, consecration and banishing, followed by the invocation then a ritual of purifying them with water bought on the day and the hour of Jupiter.

So far, I haven't had a lot of success with the invocation. Could be because I'm dead-tired after 12 hour days at work. Could also be because I've had to take some shortcuts, (like purchasing the sheepskin rather than obtaining it directly from its owner!). If I did everything Tyson describes in the grimoire, it would be several months before I could start the work. This way, I'm figuring that I can at least get the process going, and go back to do the steps more thoroughly later on, (all the time hoping this isn't a recipe for disaster!)

Did you keep up with Chris Warnock's results using the Lilith Mirror on the yahoo group Spiritus Mundi? Might be an interesting read, if you haven't seen it yet. I believe there are instructions there for consecrating the Lilith mirror, and Chris certainly got results. Not the solution he was looking for, but results none the less.

Personally, I'd like to know how Tyson explains that the Enochian Angels are a malevolent force working to start the Apocalypse, but then turns around and tells you how to attain Knowledge and Conversation with Lilith.
