Israel Regardie published what is probably his definitive work on the rituals of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and The Middle Pillar Ritual in his work titled "The Middle Pillar". In 1980 Israel Regardie published a small book called Ceremonial Magic, and although this book is now out of print, the basics of this book took the student through a graduated performance of a ritual known as The Opening by Watchtower. It was his sincere belief, which he stated numerous times in his published works, that those students with determination could successfully initiate themselves into the elemental grades by the gradual and persistent performance of this powerful ritual, combined with the daily use of the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and the Middle Pillar Ritual.

In 1995, Chic and Sandra Tabitha Cicero published their monumental volume "Self Initiation into The Golden Dawn Tradition". With this volume the authors take the student through the grade rituals, step by step, using both physical ritual as well as the visual imagination. In addition, the authors include the basics of the knowlege lectures for each grade, but have also expanded upon them to the point of having published a fully workable curriculum within the Golden Dawn Tradition that is accessible by the solitary student, or groups of students, wishing to work within this initiatory structure.

May you find the Philosophers Stone, the Summum Bonum, true wisdom and perfect happiness.
