Almuten Figuris and GuardianAngel.First of all I would like to remind our beloved readers that english is not my first language, so if the grammargets messy somewhere along the post, now you will know why.

During my trip to Spain saw many representations of holy beings such as the virgin Mary, Jesus andeven God himself surrounded by angels which float aside them or even supporting them. Which gotme thinking about the idea of the guardian angel, this particular entity or the notion of a tutelaryspirit seems to be a rather common belief in Christianity and ATR. The image of a given protectorassigned to us at birth which has a primary role as a spiritual guide and protector, be it a GuardianAngel, Genius, Met Tet , Santo de Cabeza, etc, all respond to the same principle, thou each systemhas different ideas on the mechanics and the characteristics of this role. To catholics, the guardianangel is one being, while in vodou the met tet is a single or several lwa accompanied by itsrespective cohort of spirits and can change in time according to some, some santeria housesconsider that each person has both a spiritual father and mother making it two spirits in charge ofyour wellbeing which never change. These aren’t universal absolutes of course, but some of thethings I have heard from people involved in these practices.

And secondly as I once read, God doesn’t talk directly so you need intermediaries, which is debatable in someaccounts where it is said he has come down himself and given instructions such as in the case of Moses andother biblical figures or in the case of some variants of Christianity where there no intermediary but Jesus whoof course is God made flesh. Either way, according to some paths where God is deemed unreachable or toobusy to tend to us directly an intermediary figure is needed to talk to him for us and give us the feed-back.Which is reinforced in the catholic idea that our guardian angels carries our prayers to God and that entitieslike Legba and Ellegua must be served first in order to reach heaven with our prayer, meaning the gate isn’talways open, we need an intermediary. This of course is a bit more complex than that, especially when youtake in consideration the entire cosmological system and it’s different variants, but so far by applying somemild and superficial comparative religion there seems to be a trend.

Now unto the Almuten part!

Something interesting I found somewhere online is that romans provided their tutelary spirit withwine offerings on their birthdays and that the power or virtue of the spirit was a matter of luck. As astudent of astrology I can think of it more of a matter of calculating the name of your genius usingthe almuten technique and seeing how dignified that planet is on your chart, if the planet is strongon your chart, then you will have a good and strong guardian, if its messed up, then you don’t. Thismight sound cruel and contrary to the progress of the human soul, giving a person a poor qualityguardian angel, but if you come to think about it, God also makes people born blind, deaf and muteamong other things.

Now, why is the almuten of the figure the proper way to calculate it? What da hell is the almuten ofthe

figure in the first place?

Well, the word almuten come from Arabic and means The strong one. It’s the planet that holdsmore power over a specific degree, in the case of the almuten of the figure, it’s the planet that holdsmore power over the degree where the 5 Hyleg points stand on your chart. Now, what is a hylegand how does this almuten power over thing work?

The Hyleg are the 5 points that can determine how long you will live: Sun, moon, syzygy, part offortune and ascendant. Only one can be the hyleg, to figure out which one, you follow the rules andstarting from Sun, discarding each one until you reach the ascendant in case none of the otherswork. In case you were born at night, which means the sun has already crossed the horizon, not ifthere was still light out there when you were born, you switch the starting place between the sun andmoon and follow the same order.

The power of the almuten is calculated by the amount of regency a given planet has over a degreeon the zodiac wheel. In the case of the almuten of the figure, imagine that there are 5 buildings in ablock (hyleg points) and each one has 5 rooms, the person (planet) that owns more rooms in each ofthe 5 building is the one that own more property and there for power over the block and a strongervote on what happens there.Iits basically the guy that owns the most property over the chart, and therest of the planets and all elements on the chart are like tenents that rent, having to respond to theirgiven landlord.

Ok awesome, now we know what each thing is more or less. But why these 5 points? What makesthem so special in particular to figure out the name and nature of your Genius/guardian angel?

First of all, the guardian angel is assigned to you at birth, so the 5 candidates for the amount of life you

will

live seem like the proper guide to figure this out, after all, the angel will only be with you until you die

Second, why do we use the 5 points when the actual hyleg will only be one?

-Because then you won’t get to have 5 nifty letter to spell out a name to call on him, but one singleletter.

Third, why do we use the amuten of the figure instead of the hyleg itself to determine the nature ofthe angel?

-Because the name of the angel is given thorugh the 5 letter and you need to know who has powerover the name and there for the 5 letter of the angels name to know who rules over him anddetermines his nature. While the Hyleg will only be one point out of the 5.

Ok, before me answer, a lil bit of history:

According to our pal Abraham Ibn Ezra a jewish astrologer born in the year of 1089 in Spain anddied probably in England on the year of 1165. Out of whom the formula to calculate the almutenfigures was taken from also states the following on the given points:

Sun: In men it represents common sense, intelligence, beauty, strength, great fame, richness, easewith words, lots of desires/goals. It also rules the right eye, the right side of the body and the heartby day and the left eye and brain by night.

Moon: rules thought, the left side of the body and the left eye by day, the right by night

Part of fortune: corresponds to the part of the moon and signifies the body of the person, its life,goods, renown, beginning of all things and persons thoughts.

Ascendent: how will life be, the body, way of speaking, fruitfulness, thought.

So, pretty much they all have to do with things that are intimate to a person, like their brain, thousome hold a distant relationship to it, and the heart, the whole body, consciousness, thoughts andgood fortune. So they pretty much happen to be all pretty important.

Even thou I found no account of description as to the use of the syzygy, it’s considered by some tobe the blue print previous to any event, in this case, the person.

Something else rather relevant to consider is the fact that all of these points hold a relation to thesun, moon and ascendant in some form to be calculated.

If we get Hellenic then we can look into our other pal Vettius Valens who says:

Sun: light of the mind, organ of perception of the soul, royalty, mind, intelligence, fortune, lord ofthe head, oracular matters, teachers.

Moon: life of man, the body, appearance, the goddess, birth, fortune.

Those listings aren’t complete, just the relevant parts to the explanation.

So pretty much, the reason why those 5 points are chosen to hold the letter to our guardian angelsname its because they hold a close connection to the fact that we are alive and breathing, a veryimportant part of having a guardian angel, like we said, they expire on death.

You can also take into consideration facts like the sun is a representation of God in the chart and themoon represents the soul and all messengers, while the ascendant is the body, so the union of the 3would be the guardian angel which connects us with God in this world.

Why the ruler of the 11th (teachers, guides and counselors) isn't taken into account onthis escapes me, in geomancy they do, but perhaps its because in astrology this house only relates tophysical and human mentors and not spiritual ones.

So there you go, a some what explanation as to why the almuten of the figure could provide youwith your Guardian Angel's name and nature.

PS: yeah this blog's intent is changing a bit.

Catholic Conjure Work: Saints and Spirits

http://catholicconjurework.blogspot.com/[1/5/2012 2:02:42 PM]

Magical SpainI been away for the past month and a half visiting family in Spain and giving my brain a little vacation. Asidefrom the delicious food and delightful sightseeing. I visited a few churches and museums to appreciate thereligious art and see what i could gather from it, even thou art doesn't always falls on canon when it comes torepresentations, it does share the view of the artist at least on the depicted representation of a scene, saint orentity, which will always be influenced by the mentality and culture in which he grew and painted.

On a previous visit to Spain 3 years ago, I remember visiting some occult stores in Barcelona and Madrid, andnoticed that many of the catered to the new age and Santeria market, which prompted me to mention it whilehaving dinner with some spanish friends that aren't involved in the occult or magical practices, to which oneresponded "that's because we killed all our witches during the inquisition, now we have to import". This mightprove to be some what true in some parts of Spain, but spiritual and magical practices tied to or outside of thecatholic perspective remain alive much like traditional hodoos and rootworkers, there are traditional spanishwitches. But so far this side of Spain hasn't been part of my visits yet.

Among a few of my interests on visiting the different museums was to look for representations of thetetramorpho, which are the 4 angels/seraphs that stand next to the throne of God exalting his name and alsocome to represent the 4 principal evangelist: Mark, Luke, John and Matthew. Tetramorpho is the greek for fourshaped, its usually a representation of a winged lion, winged bull, eagle and angel, which united are said to bethe Spinx. My true interest in searching for these representations is to see if the images are arranged in anspecific order on the paintings, particularly following an astrological sequence, as the 4 representations arealso said to be tied to the 4 fixed signs: Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. Long story short: No, they aren't,most if not all of the representations found follow no astrological order either by opposition or sequence of thesigns from Aries to Pisces. Yet the use of the tetramorpho in christian catholic representations is very old,exemplified in the pictures below taken from the ceiling of a 11 century mosque turned into a church. Whatis possibly quite new is the association of these images or beings with other elements such as the zodiacsigns or maxims such as to will to know to dare and to keep silent. Something that should also be taken intoconsideration is that not all artists are mystics and not all mystics are artists, so in the process ofthe artistic production either by imitation or instruction, some artistic freedoms could have been taken,mismatching symbols or forms of representation.

People are prone to finding a hidden meaning that might not be there or expanding the significance of certainsymbols quite often, after all, symbols change in time and adapt to personal and cultural needs, and there isalways room for misconception. A good example of this was what happened to me while walking inside theCatedral de Toledo i saw in several chapels a branch of rosemary laying in front of some images, i startedwondering what was the religious significance of this practice, since rosemary is a herb that's been commonlyused in magical and spiritual practices, to which my companion answered, who by the way is not a personwho knows anything about the occult, that those branches were part of a trick used by gypsies to hasslepeople for money, they gave you the branch of a "gift"and then tried to read your hand or charge you forthe branch or to single you out to pocket picker as a tourist, and there i was thinking it was a religiouscustom.

Another interesting place to visit in Madrid and a must see for any person interested in angels is El RealMonasterio de las Descalzas, which only has guided tours, which sucks a bit because you can't really standand appreciate certain things but follow the guide. Either way, this is the first time I have seen so manyangelic art in one place, like the 7 archangels along with their given names in several painting and on thewalls of the main stairway. Out of the several listings on what are the names of this particular group of angels,I rather go with the 16 century representations found in a convent instead of most modern occultist listings.

This convent also holds a huge collection of saints relics, included bones of Saint Sebastian and a piece of thelignum crucis, among many others items. The reason for this is that not only is this a convent that works as amuseum but a royal convent, which means that all the nuns that have lived there came from noble familiesand joined the church along with their dowries and family art collections.

In the Catedral de Toledo there was also a relic with a piece of the Lignum Crucis inside, it was a silver statueof Saint Helen of Jerusalem holding a cross, inside the cross there was a nail ( allegedly one of the three usedto crucify Jesus) and on the chest of the saint a capsule with a piece of the wood, and in another roomthe gilded hand of Saint Lucy.

A very interesting practices was the custom carried by nobles of ordering portraits that included themselves inscenes from the bible or represented as saints, like women holding a late with two blue eyes in the likes ofsaint Lucy or a noble woman and her two daughters assisting the delivery of the virgin Mary by her motherSaint Anne.

Another portrait that called my attention was that of a baby prince that had different charms sewn unto hisclothes, among them a black fist and a piece of coral, both which are common charms given to babies still inuse a few hundred years later.

Saw many interesting things, sadly most of the cool stuff is at museums of all sort wherephotographs aren't allowed, and since i don't feel like getting kicked out of El Prado or chased around bysecurity guards at El Escorial i rather scout around for some nice online pictures to ilustrate my journey.

Saint Michael The Archangel

Page 11: Catholic Conjure Work_ Saints and Spirit - Unknown

Catholic Conjure Work: Saints and Spirits

http://catholicconjurework.blogspot.com/[1/5/2012 2:02:42 PM]

Saint Michael The Archangel is one of the most important entities in the catholic pantheon, petitioned todefend from evil, undo it and general pleas of justice. He is considered to be extremely powerful and helpfulagainst ones enemies and specially attacks from demonic origin. Even thou he is known to be an archangel,meaning he is a main (arch) messenger (angel) of God, others place him on different angelic choirs stating heholds several positions inside the heavenly hierarchy. Highly regarded among all the angels for being most helpful and effective against evil, even in dominican vudu 21 division he is syncretized with Belie Belcan anprotective spirit said to be the owner of all "works" in this world, who can untie any trick and protect againstthem. In some currents of santeria he is Oggun, the warrior oricha of metal, work and war.

His patronage includes police officers and those in charge of protecting others. He was also once considered apsychopomp, which means he holds power over the dead.

His day is september 29th, his color is red or blue, his talisman is a little sword and his herbs are michaelmasdaisy, angelica root, garlic and guinea peppers

Among the different devotions dedicated to St Michael which you can do in his name or to develop arelationship with him are:

Playing the Te Splendor a Roman Catholic hymn dedicated to Saint Michael.

Praying the Chaplet to St Michael, his most famous prayer or his novena.

Or carrying St Michael's Scapular.

A traditional reversal work in Latin America is the Revocacióncon San Miguel Arcangel. It purpose is to call off any worksent against you and turn it back against to who threw it. Oneof the good things about this trick is that it doesn't call on anynames so it sends back any harm known or unknown to you.There are two variations to this work and the prayer.

Implements:1 Red Candle1 white plate

First you say a prayer to st Michael, any of your choice,prayer from the heart also works. Then you take the redcandle, cut the top off and carve out a new wick out of thebottom. Holding the candle in its former upright position andpray the following as you turn it:

As i turn this candle i have on my hand so may all myenemies and all wrong they are doing against me or trowing

against me turn, be it man or woman. May I call on my enemies with these holy words and have them come

humiliated to my feet, as Satan was humiliated to saint Michael's feet. may they have eyes and not see me,hand and not touch me, thoughts and not think of me, knives and not cut me, weapons and not shoot me,mouth and not speak to me. May all harm found at my home be undone and return, so it may become ablessing, and may anyone trying to do harm against me have his ideas undone and turn back in regret. In thename of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in the name of all that is good, Amen.

The second version of the trick calls for a glass which you fill up with water to a little bit more than half, placea plate on top of it and turn it around, setting a white candle on top of the glass which you have fixed thesame way as the red candle. After the candle burns out you dispose of the water and cleanse the glass with abit of ammoniac.

If you wish to add reversal oil to the candle or Saint Michael oil it can be done without any problem.

For protection work calling on Saint Michael i recommend the following:

Check out Devi's awesome amparo video, a traditional mexican curanderismo protection you can learn how tomake on your own or have her make one for you, shes a very knowledgeable worker and also has a closerelationship with Saint Michael, so you can trust her to make a very strong protection for you.

You can also get Momma Starr's Saint Michael Protection kit that comes with all the necessary implements toprotect yourself with Saint Michael's help. Starr has over 30 years of experience and has worked with thisangelic saint for a long time, making her own products the traditional way with prayer and all the right herbs.

And if you are feeling more adventurous, Doña Concha a traditional Curandera, teaches you how to fix a SaintMichael medal for protection on her blog.

Saint Barbara

As one of the 14 holy helpers, this saint hasmaintained her reputation even after being removedfrom the liturgical list by the Vatican due to insufficienthistorical accounts of her true existence. Yet thishasn’t stopped her to reach a cult like status,especially in south America due to her associations totwo orichas, Shango in Santeria and Iansa inUmbanda, the reason for this syncretism arises fromSt Barbara’s association with lighting, due to herfather’s death by mean of this natural element underGod’s hand.

St Barbara is associated with lightning, a tower,where she was kept imprisoned by her father, asword due to her beheading and a palm as a symbolof martyrdom, sometimes she is also represented witha cup in hand, reason why she is offered wine.

Among her offering one finds red candles, red rosesand flowers, wine and red apples, which some peoplehollow out to make oil lamps to work with her. In mostparts it is difficult to differentiate when she’s beingrevered as an African spirit or as a catholic saint,most of the times I have found she’s seen as both at

the same time. Reason why so many santeros celebrate her the 4th of December, even knowing she standsfor Chango they still call it Saint Barbara’s feast.

Shes the patron saint of people who work with explosives, such as miners, military and things involvingartillery, also those who have been imprisoned and architects because of the tower. But she’s mostly called onto protect people from injustice and help them defeat enemies and obstacles, some even ask her to reunitelovers, thou I have found accounts of workers who says this is not her strong suit, when I asked why, I wastold her association with Chango, who was a womanizer, made her unfit to bring true and steady love, as acatholic I would be more inclined to say that a virgin martyr isn’t too keen on love affairs, but that’s just aloose opinion, especially since the trick I’m providing is for love.

On regards to her correspondences her color is red, her herb is the Snake plant according to Braziliantradition and her amulet is usually a tiny golden sword worn to keep her protection over you.

Prayer to calm down storms: European.

Blessed Saint BarbaraIn heaven thou has written on paper with holy water on the arch above the crossthree times: amen Jesus, amen Jesus amen Jesus.

To protect a couple with St Barbara: Caribbean.

In case there is a relationship that’s threatened by others whether by natural or supernatural means, you cancall on this saint to help you.Warrior of heaven, blessed Saint Barbara, hear my plea of love so that _______ and__________ may bejoined both in body and soul. Protecting them so no one stands on their way to happiness and union. Anointmy hairs and quench my thirst with your infinite love toward my good wishes. Powerful guardian of justice andthe impossible, fight on behalf of these two eternal lovers, so be it, amen.

Saint Claire of Assisi

St Claire of Assisi (July 16, 1194 – August 11, 1253) was anItalian saint and follower of Saint Francis of Assisi, so if youhave a close spiritual connection with him, in theory, it will beeasier to work with her or reach her due to their affinity, thepractice of calling on other saints and spirits to help us contactone in particular is something i was introduced to by DeviSpring owner of Queen of Pentacles Conjure & Witchery onher article on St Dymphna.

St Claire was also the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies andwrote their monastic rules, from which we can assume somequalities to her as leader and strict woman, not the kind of saintyou call on to play around or take lightly, she commanded andruled a nunnery in life, so don’t expect her to be a softie. Theimportance of hagiographies of saints is to know what we canexpect from them and what they are like as a person, thesespirits are very much human, and as saints they are filled with

love and desire to help us, but still keep their personalities after passing, the more you read on themthe better you will be able to communicate.

St Claire lived a monastic life and there for is hardworking and austere, most of the workingsrelated to her only ask for a glass of water and an egg. The use of these two elements comes fromher use of a monstrance to chase away an army that wanted to assault her convent, she took out themonstrance from the altar, prayed to God and showed it to the soldier over the wall which causedthem to run away in fear stricken down by God.

She’s considered to be the catholic patron saint of television and unofficial saint of psychics. Bothof these associations come from her ability to see the mass projected on the wall of her bedroomwhile bedridden and sick.

She’s mostly called on to clear things up, from problems and confusion to uncrossing and roadopening work, others ask her to help them make decisions, cleanse their homes and give themclarity.

St Claire’s uncrossing and cleansings on the body are said to be performed from feet to head,instead from top to bottom as usual, sounds odd? Well, give it a try and see what works for you.

Also, when working with her on behalf of others, it’s customary to give the person her holy card, Ibeen told that yours will go missing if you don’t give the other person their own.

Correspondences:

Colors: white and blue.

You will need:

Take the glass filled with water and make the sign of the cross on top of it and pray:

“Saint Claire, here I offer you this glass of water that represents the thought, judgement and will of_______________ for as clear as is this water so may the thoughts of ____________ be, so thatwhenever he/she is with me there may be no ill thought or confusion towards me”

Place the glass on top of the picture and light the candle as you pray the following:

"Saint Claire, here I light up this candle for you, to illuminate and clear the thoughts of____________, so if theres someone working to confuse ___________, I pray that you set aside allnegative thoughts. Amen”

Addendum:

The following was written by H'oungan Assogue Liam Richard-Howes and taken with duepermission from his very educative forum Kiwimojo. I highly recommend joining if you areinterested in Haitian Vodou, Santeria and Hoodoo. H'oungan Liam is a very knowledgeable man asmuch as a kind and serious practitioner who is always willing to help. You should also check outhis website to learn about vodou or in case you are in need of a good h'oungan.

Thank you H'oungan for letting me share this on my blog.

Vodou and Catholicism can not be separated. You see there are lwa who are indeed Catholic Saints.Filomez, the younger and delightful sister of Erzulie Freda, is none other that the Blessed and HolySt Philomena, while her sister Klemezin is also the beautiful St. Claire, light of Vodou.

St. Claire is a powerful Spirit indeed. In Vodou she is served both as St. Claire and as an image ofthe L'wa. Which L'wa will depend on where the Vodouisant is from. In some houses she is servedas Ayizan, the mother of all initiates, however this association to me makes no sense for a couple ofreasons. Ayizan is the palm, she is not served on altars, but is served through a rite that centres onthe palm tree. It is the fronds of the palm that are served, saluted and fed and this is how we alwaysacknowledge Ayizan.

In our house St. Claire is associated with the L'wa Klemizin. Klemizin is a part of the escourt ofErzulie Freda and Klemizin is a strong and confident Mambo. Klemizin is also the Kryeol-isation ofClaire, and a reminder that Klemizin is the Saint in her Haitian character. St. Claire/Klemizin canlight the way forward in any situation. Are you undsure what to do? Don't know which road totake? In the middle of a situation that you really are not sure which path/road to take? Then take itto St. Claire/Klemizin.

One of the best ways to have St. Claire/Klemizin illuminate a situation is to set a white/St. Clairecandle for her. You can have these fixed with St. Claire oil and silver glitter [or powdered silver].Place this candle next to a glass of water [in front of an image/statue of St. Claire if you have one]and pray with all your help. Remember, St. Claire will not necessarily change the path that is infront of you, but she will illuminate a way towards clarity and solutions.

Getting K&CHGA using Agrippa's Genius

With the recent posts about the importance of K&CHGA, this is probably a goodtime to plug getting K&C using the Name of your Genius. You get the name,draw it a few times in a few scripts, and enjoy getting to know it. Then youconjure it. (Oh spirit NN, I conjure you in the name of the Most High GodEheieh, appear before me in this mirror/stone/bowl/whatever. Improvise usingthe Bornless Rite or Samekh.) Then you ask it to facilitate K&CHGA. Thenperform Samekh or Abramelin, or whatever. Having a friend in the Genius torecommend you paves the way a bit.

To get the Genius name, use Agrippa's Book 3, chapter 26 or 27. Can'tremember which off the top of my head. You need a natal chart from somewherelike Astrodienst.com. Go to free horoscopes, enter your info, and make sure youselect the option to show the Part of Fortune.

Run your horoscope and write down the degrees and signs of the Sun, Moon,Ascendant, Part of Fortune, and Prenatal Syzygy. To get the Prenatal Syzygy,you have to figure out when the previous new or full moon was closest to yourbirth date. Run a chart on that date and time and location, and get the degrees ofthe Moon from there. That's your Prenatal Syzygy.

Plug it into the table you develop from Agrippa's Book 3, chapter 26 or 27. Ifyou put Aleph in the 1st degree, round all your values up to the next degree. Orput Aleph in the previous degree and round down. When you get the five letters,add an EL to the end to conjure the active aspect of your Genius, or an AH tothe end to get the passive aspect. Think of Jacob's Ladder, where he saw theangels descending and ascending. The Descending angels were coming downfrom heaven to carry out god's will, so their names all ended in EL. The onesAscending were returning to God having carried out their mission, so theirnames ended in AH.

To speak about information concerning your personal "return to God" conjure theAH version. To speak with the Genius about active things, like getting a job, ormoney, or physically doing anything, conjure the EL version. It's convenient.The AH suffix aspect will be the one to target for K&CHGA.

Don't be intimidated. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pencil, and draw outwhat you read in Agrippa. Think about it, and draw it again if necessary. I drewup three circles, and took the time to divide them each into 360 degrees using aprotractor. Then I put the alephbet in each degree, clockwise starting in 1 Aries

for the Genius Name, counter clockwise starting in Pisces for the evil daimonname. I think. I did this a year ago, and my memory gets dusty. Now I just usethe spreadsheet. One column has the alephbet, another has the degree, and thethird has the sign. I run the charts for people and get their info, round the degreesup, and derive the Names from the chart values. It's a series of simple steps.They just get tedious.

So I charge people to do it for them. It takes about 15 minutes, I charge $6.95.That's $28.80 an hour, if I had enough demand for this service to do it for awhole hour. I get paid a lot more than that at my job. I take a pay cut to do thisstuff for people. I do it to get people in touch with their HGAs. So I can talk tothem about magic and learn from them.

Oh, and Chris Warnock includes your Genius and Evil Daimon names when youbuy your natal chart from him. It's on my list of things to have done when I'mbathing in filthy lucre.

Is there a method to learning how to pronounce the name for theconjuration; or is that part of the writing it, and getting familiar with it?

Mike: You COULD do it that way. But then you only get up to 29. ISUPPOSE that makes sense, you just round everything down. :P

Lavanah: Oddly enough, no, I'd rather bathe IN it. As for pronouncing thename, I wing it. I figure the spirit's hearing me mangle its name with aBaltimore-Texas-Oklahoma-Colorado-Illinois accent already. If only youknew someone with a Jewish heritage who spoke Hebrew, you could gethelp from them. ;)

0 Aries is useful in this, but you ROUND DOWN - unlike every other"Sabian" system out there.

Better to start at 1 Aries and stay consistent. For example, 14 Aries 01would be read as 15 Aries.

Another nifty trick: if you use Regiomontanus or other Ascendant basedhouse systems, the Asc letter in the Genius name will always be Aleph.This because the Agrippa system is based on Houses... I've found that itworks a bit better when I set 1st House to 0 Aries or even just using thesigns as houses. The second method does cause some violence to thesystem, given the length of Virgo and the presence of Ophicuchus... but itworks.

Then again, a screwdriver works as a hammer on occasion. As always, Irecommend experimentation and actually DOING SOMETHING.

Guardian Angel & Almuten Figuris

The guardian angel/personaldaimon is extremely important intraditional theurgy andtraditional astrology does indeedhave a role to play here. The keypart that astrology plays is in theidentification of the planet of thepersonal genius.

Agrippa says,

Now the ancient Phylosophersteach us to know the nature ofthe Genius of every man, byStars, their influx, and aspects,which are potent in the Nativityof any one; but with instructionsso divers, and differing amongstthemselves, that it is muchdifficult to understand the

mysteries of the heavens by their directions.

For Porphyrie seeks the Genius of the Star, which is the Lady of theNativity: but Maternus either from thence, or from the Planets, which hadthen most dignities, or from that into whose house the Moon was to enterafter that, which at the birth of the man it doth retain. But the Caldeansenquire after the Genius, either from the Sun above, or from the Moon.But others, and many Hebrews think it is to be enquired after from somecorner of the heaven, or from all of them. Others seek a good Genius fromthe eleventh house, which therefore they call a good Demon; but an evilGenius from the sixth, which therefore they call an evil Demon.

Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk III, ch 21.

My tendency is to agree with Robert Zoller's identification of the personaldaimon/guardian angel with the almuten figuris whose calculation isprovided for in Ibn Ezra's Book of Nativities. The almuten figuris, literallythe ruler of the chart, is found through determining the almuten over aseries of points in the natal chart.

Here is the Ibn Ezra method as set forth by Robert Zoller, which I use.

Find the essential dignities of the 7 planets in the degree of the Sun, theMoon, the Ascendant, the Part of Fortune, the previous syzygy (i.e. Newor Full Moon closest to the nativity).

Add the point values for each planet. sign =5 , exaltation=4, triplicityruler (day ruler by day or night ruler by night only) =3, term=2, face=1.

Then add 7 points for the day ruler, and 6 points for the hour ruler

Then add the following accidental dignity points to each planets' score

1st house =122nd= 63rd=34th=95th=76th=17th=108th=49th=510th=1111th=812th=2

The highest scoring planet is the almutem figuris.

The almuten figuris is indeed connected with the personal daimon orguardian angel. Iamblichos, in Mysteries of the Egyptians, Chaldeans andAssyrians, notes that the personal daimon can indeed be determined fromthe natal chart. Wilder trans. (titled Theurgia at 270.

Iamblichos notes that,

"This [daimon] therefore is present as an exemplar before the soulsdescend into the realm of generated existence. As soon as the soul chooseshim for leader the [daimon] immediately comes into charge of completingof its vital endowments and when it descends into the body it unites withthe body and becomes the guardian of it common living principle. Helikewise directs the the private life of the soul andwhatever the conclusions we may arrive at by inference and reasoning hehimself imparts to us the principles."

Theurgia at 271.

Zoller citing Picatrix says,

"If the Almuten figuris is the Sun, the native will want to lead, express hiscreative power and be recognized. If the Moon, s/he will want to care for,be cared for, eat and make love, dream, etc. If it is Mercury, s/he will bediligent in the sciences, business and communications. Id it is Venus s/hewill be a lover of beauty, of music, of men and women etc. If it is Mars,s/he will fight in order to dominate. If it is Jupiter, s/he will philosophizeand teach. If it is Saturn he will retire from society, investigate hiddenthings and suffer adversity."

So the role of astrology is initially to simply identify the planet of andplanetary spirit ruling the almuten figuris.

Next it is also possible to determine the name of one's personal daimon orguardian angel using traditional astrology. Agrippa lays out the methodfor this at Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk III, ch. 27 and explainsvarious methods for assigning Hebrew letters to the degrees of the Zodiacfor a particular natal (or other) chart and then deriving the name of the

ruling spirit or angel. Note that this will not be Michael or Gabriel oranother angel you can Google, but unlike the almuten figuris, will beunique to you and not shared with anyone else unless they were born atthe exact same time, date and place.

I provide both the almuten figuris and name of the guardianangel/personal daimon as part of my Astrological Checkup and Spiritual Path Reading and Full Natal Reading

Once the planetary ruler of the personal daimon is identified then we havea good idea of the type of spiritual path we are best suited to, and abeginning idea of the method of contacting the personal daimon. Forexample, if Saturn is the almuten figuris, our path and method of contactis to "retire from society, investigate hidden things and suffer adversity"

Iamblichus in De Mysteriis, says that, "...the invocation of daemons ismade in the name of the single god who is their ruler, who from thebeginning has apportioned a single daimon to each individual and who inthe theurgic rites reveals according to his good pleasure the personaldaimon to each...when the personal daimon comes to be with each personthen he reveals the mode of worship appropriate to him and his name andimparts the particular manner in which he should be summoned." IX 9-10trans. Clarke & Dillon (SBL 2003) at 341.

So traditional astrology can be of immense assistance in the process ofidentifying and contacting the guardian angel/personal daimon. I can alsosay that doing the rituals and astrological talismans of the almuten figuriscan be quite beneficial. I have had excellent results from mine!

Does this mean only planets that meet one of these

Thank you.

I think you are misunderstanding the process. Each degree of

the Zodiac has different essential dignity rulers, ie sign (+5),

exaltation (+4), triplicity (+3), term (+2) and face (+1). You

add up the essential dignity scores for all 7 planets over the

degrees of the points mentioned and the planet with the

highest point score is the almuten figuris.

Hello Mr. Warnock, what is your Almuten Figuris and what

Sorry to be a bit mysterious, but I don't give out any of my

birthchart info. In terms of ritual I have not specifically done

planetary ritual for my almuten figuris, rather I do a daily

invocation of the planet that rules the day. This has definitely

been beneficial.

Not likely to be what you are looking for in terms of specifics,

but c'est la vie!
