The Eight Steps Of Creating An Egregore
The process of creating and eventually destroying an egregore consists of
eight steps: (1) Decide what task it will accomplish; (2) deciding on its appearance; (3)
name it; (4) creating its sigil; (5) sculpting a representation of it to reside in when it is
not active; (6) performing a ritual to give it life for a predetermined amount of time; (7)
performing a ritual to destroy it when that time comes; and (8) disposing of the physical
representation.
The first step in bringing an egregore to life is to find a purpose for its
existence. In other words, you have to have some task or function for the egregore to
carry out. This could be anything from protecting a certain room or area to helping
certain horse run faster in a race. Of course, the egregore’s purpose should not be an
evil one, as you will suffer the karmic consequences of its actions. Once you come up
with a suitable task for your egregore to accomplish, try to word it as a command,
similar to the types of commands you give spirits in evocations. Make sure your
statement of its purpose is clear and concise, as it is the instruction you will give the
egregore when it is created.
The next step you have to follow is relatively easy. Simply come up with
an appearance you want your egregore to have. Use some common sense here. Don’t
make it look so ferocious that you can barely stand to look at it when you evoke it. Try
to come up with a simple appearance that matches the being’s function. For example,
if the egregore’s function is protection, five it a weapon of some kind, while if its
purpose is urging on a horse, you may want to give it a crop (an egregore will not
actually use these types of implements, rather they will act as symbols of its function).
You can create egregores that do not look like human, but try to do this for a symbolic
reason. For example, if you want help becoming a better swimmer, create an egregore
that has webbed hands and feet.
Once you know the purpose and appearance of the egregore you are trying
to create, the next step is to come up with a name for it. The particular name you choose
doesn’t really matter, as long as it is not a name that means something contradictory
to the egregore’s purpose. For example, if you see a movie where the villain is named
Dagon, do not give this name to an egregore whose purpose is to help alleviate
someone’s suffering. If the name you choose already means something negative to
you, then you might end up feeding some of that negativity into your creation. It’s
better to either make up a name or find one that reflects the qualities of your egregore.
For example, if you’re an admirer of the medieval literature, you might want to use
the name Roland for an egregore that is supposed to help you increase your level of
bracery.
After you decide upon your creation’s name, you are ready to create its
sigil. To do so, you may want to use the Rose Cross Lamen method (draw a small
circle on the first letter of the egregore’s name, then draw a line from the circle to the
second letter, then third, so on, then drawn a little line at the end of the line) unless you
are familiar with another system. For now, you only have to design the sigil on a piece
of paper, but during the ritual birth of your egregore, you will be required to add this
sigil to your physical representation of the being. Make sure this sigil is correct in
accordance with the spelling you choose for your egregore’s name.
The last step of your egregore’s creation before the ritual of birth given
below is performed, is to create a physical representation of the being. To do this, you
will need non-hardening modeling clay. You can find this in almost any art supply or
variety store. As you will soon see, it is very important to use a clay that will not harden
on its own. If you have decided upon a particular color that you predominantly want
your egregore to be, then you can use this color clay. If you haven’t given much
thought to the color or you can’t find the appropriate color, you can use brown, off-
white, or gray clay.
Once you find your clay, spend some time meditating upon the image of
the egregore you have built up in your mind. Sketch if it helps. When you feel you are
certain of its appearance, use the clay to try to sculpt a model of it. It should be about 8
or 9 inches in height and about 3 or 4 inches wide, as this is an easy size figure to work
with. While sculpting, try to concentrate on the attributes and function of the being you
are creating a representation of, as this attributes and function of the being you are
creating a representation of, as this step in the process is a lot more magical than it first
seems.
Here are some things to keep in mind when sculpting. If the egregore is of
a non-human shape, try to sculpt a figure that shows some of your egregore’s most
outstanding features (for example, wings or long ears). When dealing with a basic
human-shaped being, try to add any features that make the egregore unique (for
example, tools or implements it may carry). Your figure does not have to look as if a
master or even apprentice sculptor created it. The sculpture only has to bear a strong
enough resemblance to the egregore so your imagination can easily fill in the missing
details when you look at it. But try your best to sculpt it.
With your sculpture prepared, you are ready to performed the ritual that
will give life to your egregore. Set up your temple in the way described below, which is
similar to the preparation for an evocation to the physical plane, with a few changes.
First, put your Triangle on the floor within the east quarter of your circle. You will have
to slide it out of the circle during the ritual. Place your censer within the Triangle light
the charcoal. Prepare a equal mixture of gum mastic and frankincense, but do not add it
until you are told to do so in the ritual. Set your lamp outside the circle and behind you
so it dimly illuminates the room. Do not use a filter.
Your altar should be set up in the following fashion. On your Tablet of
Union, place the sculpture you made and a piece of paper with your egregore’s name
and sigil written upon it in black ink. Both of these should be covered with one piece of
white silk. Also have a toothpick, a lit candle, a dish of salt, a bowl of water, and a lit
censer on your altar. Like the censer used in the Triangle, do not add incense to this
censer until the time comes to do so in the ritual. Finally, place your regular magical
implements on the altar as well.
Copy the necessary orations from the ritual below into your book and
have it handy to read from. There is no need to memorize any of them. With this last
preparation completed, you are ready to begin the ritual creation of your egregore. In
this ritual, you will have to assign the egregore an amount of time to complete its task. I
like to allow these beings one month to carry out their tasks before I terminate their
magical existence. If you would like to work with one egregore for a longer period of
ime, make sure you summon it at least once a month to command it to give you a
report of its success. In either case, make sure you have an exact day for the termination
of your egregore’s existence decided upon before you start the following ritual.
Ritual For Egregore Creation
1. set up your temple and altar in the fashion described above. Put on your robe and ring
if you have them.
1. Perform the Opening by Watchtower up to and including step 17
1. Uncover the sculpture and paper on your Tablet of Union. Lift up the sculpture and
say the following: O Creature of Clay, before thou canst be given life, thou must be
made pure by the elements.
1. Pass the sculpture over the lit candle and say, I purify thee with Fire. Now, pick up
your Fire Wand and wave it over the sculpture three times.
5. Replace your Wand and, using you fingers, sprinkle some water from your dish onto
the sculpture, saying, I purifyu thee with Water. Pick up your Water Cup and wave it
over the sculpture three times.
6. Replace your Cup. Add incense to your altar censer and pass the sculpture through
the smoke, saying, I purify thee with Air. Wave your Air Dagger over the sculpture
three times.
7. Replace your Dagger. Touch the base of your sculpture to the dish of salt and say, I
purify thee with Earth. Wave your Earth Pentacle over the sculpture three times.
8. Replace your Pentacle. Hold up the sculpture and say the following: O Creature of
Clay, purified by the elements and ready to receive life, I now hold you up to the Light
Whose service you shall be committed to. Visualize white light descending upon your
sculpture, then look up to the heavens and add: O Glorious One, may this creature be
granted life with your permission.
9. Pick up your toothpick and inscribe your egregore’s name onto its back while
saying, I name thee, (name), and from this day until (give time) on (give date) you shall
be know by this name, and shall be given life to perform the task which I willl assign to
you.
10. Below the egregore’s name, use the toothpick to inscribe the sigil, saying, With
this sigil, I shall most easily be able to contact you, (name), but when its lines are no
more. So too shall your life and purpose be no more, for this is the will the One True
God.
11. Pick up the sculpture and peform the Middle Pillar Ritual. Channel some of the
energy raised into the sculpture with the knowledge that this being is linked to you until
the time of is ritual death.
12. Walk clockwise to the Triangle in the east of your circle, carrying your Magic
Sword and the sculpture. Stand the sculpture behind the censer in the Triangle. Add a
good amount of incense to the censer and, using your Sword, slide the Triangle out of
your circle to a distance of 2 feet or as far as the length of your Sword allows, if it is
shorter..
Note: If you do not have a wooden Triangle, I suggest you place it upon a piece of
wood for this ritual and push the wood with your sword, as a thin cardboard Triangle
might bend when you try to slide it out of the circle.
13. Return to your position behind the altar, facing east. Replace your Magic Sword.
Pick up the paper sigil of the egregore and your book in your lift hand and your Magic
Wand in your right. Return to the east of your circle, moving clockwise.
14. Try to visualize the features of your egregore on the sculpture. Point your Wand at
the Triangle and five the following oration: By the power of the Most High, and through
the influence of the elements which have purified your vessel, I now call you into being,
(name), Know that your purpose in existing is to serve me by performing the task of
(state the task). I hereby command you to complete these duties by (give the date and
time), and to reside within this vessel of clay whenever you are not actively pursuing
these duties. At no time shall you cause harm to befall anyone. This I command with
the authority of the One True God, Whose Path of light you math follow.
15. Gaze at the sigil of the egregore in you hand and try to visualize it hovering in the
smoke before the sculpture. Recite the following conjuration: Having given thee magical
life, I command you to appear before me within this Triangle in your newly granted
form. Rise from your physical clay shell, and make your understanding of your
purpose known to me. Appear, (name), for it is the Lord Whose Light has given you
life Who commands you now.
16. Enter your astral body and once again visualize the sigil of the entity floating before
the sculpture. Call out to the egregore, repeating its name as you see it emerge from the
sculpture. It will look like a mist rising from the clay figure at first, but it should
gradually begin to assume the form you created for it. As it start to take shape, you can
begin to whisper its name and slowly open your eye, as in any evocation to the physical
plane. The egregore will be standing before you when you open your eyes.
17. Communicate with the egregore and make certain that it understands what is
function will be.
18. When you are ready to send the egregore off, say the following: Go in peace,
(name), and begin your labors. Remember to reside within this vessel of clay when idle,
and be certain to never harm another. Be ready to appear quickly before me when called,
and to give an accurate report of your progress.
19. Peform step 18 of the Watchtower Ritual.
20. Perform the Closing by Watchtower.
21. Wrap the sculpture in the black piece of silk, along with the paper the name and sigil
are drawn upon. Put this in a place where no one will touch it.
When you wish to contact your egregore, perform a normal evocation,
using the method given in step 16, as the egregore does not reside in another sphere.
The sculpture should always be placed in the Triangle for these evocations, and the
paper sigil used in the creation should be the one gazed at each time. Do not recopy the
sigil.
When the time comes for the destruction of your egregore, set up your
temple in the same way you set it up for the creation ritual. This time the Triangle will
not be needed, however, as the egregore should never be summoned to visible
appearance on the day of its termination. |
