Angelic(k) spirits are celestial or empyrean forces, based primarily in the element Air. They are commonly associated with Lucifer and are the higher articulated solar and lunar shadow forms of the initiatic guide, by one conjoined with the demonic spirit the self develops in balance, rather than repression and self-deception. Such Angels are fallen, and contain a Demonic or Infernal aspect to their character. Approach this with respect and seek to become like the essence you so seek. The Angelick Spirits of the Shemhamphorasch are the Guardians who lead one to the Threshold (Azazel, Shaitan). Spirits should be invoked as how Lucifer would command – by resolve and silent perception. Do not act upon impulse; rather refine your thought to work for you. Consider the higher articulation of the spirit and how this may associate with the balanced aspects of the self. In most cases the Demonic is in relation to the Angelic, a combination of Celestial and Infernal aspects. When invoking either Daemonic or Angelic spirits, one must control every thought based on the desire and Will, not to mention the impulses which may come forth. In most cases, the sorcerer will feel differently as he or she invokes the force that is the mind moves with 'inspiration' under the spirit summoned Such methods of invocation act not in mere possession in most cases, rather activates areas of perception according to the individuals associations of inspirational knowledge or impulses. Angelic Spirits are those which infuse us with the Fire of Lucifer, that which fell from Heaven. This is the gnosis of the Celestial Sabbat – knowledge gained from the Spirits of the Air. The Luciferian Spirits (the Spirits of Air) are often celestial, white shades or blackened shapes, depending on the Lower or Higher nature of their being. It is the goal of the magician to be able to in an astral sense shape shift into either an illuminated or shadowed aspect of being, as is the reflection of the being.
Simplicity in Ceremonial Magick and Sorcery is significant to achieve a strong point of gnosis, or magical thought. The operator who is intent on summoning a spirit of the Goetia will be focused on this act, to where he or she identifies with the Daimon in question. To allow a clear and controlled pattern of magickal development, the sorcerer should be calm and focused before hand on a specific and Willed outcome. No individual should enter the ritual chamber to perform Ceremonial Magick while lacking a defined intent and desire. Why are you summoning the spirit? What do you wish to accomplish? How will you learn from this spirit? How will you implement the knowledge obtained from this act? How does this sharpen and define your being further?
Two aspects of the self may be crystallized in the development of the Body of Light and the Body of the Shadow; this is by a simplified comparison, the heart of the Adversary. The Adversary is perpetual evolution, storm and chaos. The Light aspect of the Adversary is the Order within the Self which comes through this changing and evolving Chaos of self. The Body of Light/Body of Shadow is directly tied in with the Holy Guardian Angel/Angelic Familiar/Higher Self.
The Ritual of the Holy Guardian Angel, Azal'ucel and The Invocation of the Adversary may be employed to achieve contact with this individualistic guide or Initiatic Genius. When you invoke, allow yourself to become enflame into points of ecstasy, you will grow from this.
