The actual method o-f using the seals was reservedOrder members within the Golden Dawn though it has beenhare as reference material far when the student is ready for tht s

type of work. Normally one did an Evocation ritual c* the angelconcerned, on the relevant, days of the year (to be worked outastral ogi cal 1 y) that the angel governs and the seal was used as a

warrant to command the angel to obey you. For full instructionson Evocation is covered in the Z2 section in the ’Complete GoldenDawn System of Magic’ though this is not. for beginners. The sealsare to be used neither as a talisman nor as a 1 amen but a foresto bind the angel (who is constrained by it) to perform a desiredtask. An example of this type of use is given in the Matherstranslation of the ’Key of Solomon the King’ and ’Grimoire ofArmadel’. Other uses for the seals were as astral doorways inwhich the angel was investigated on the days it governed throughskrying. From this investigation some Adept i built up a God-formand used the ritual of Bod—form Assumption, through invocation totest its powers. There are a variety of uses for these seals unci

within temples such as Whare Ra, in New Zealand, theBiblical Psalms were generally read out in Hebrew tothe invocation or evocation.
