Br. Grant will be continuing his series on Practice in the Thelemic Temple with a discussion on Magical Formulae.

An integral part of Thelema as a spiritual tradition is regular individual spiritual and magical practice. The Practice in the Thelemic Temple series focuses on techniques, rituals, and approaches to this individual practice, offering workshops focused on specific practices, including both presentation and discussion of theory as well as hands-on engagement with practice. All workshops will be designed so that prior knowledge or attendance at previous workshops in the series is unnecessary.

Perhaps the most well-known magical formula is the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter sequence of Hebrew letters that is understood to be both a name of God and a description of a sequence of energies that can organize practical work. In this section of Practice in the Thelemic Temple we will look at various magical formulae presented in Crowley’s work and discuss how you might go about incorporating them into temple practice.
