Higher powered means than the more so than the magician's magickal potency. Either by having less will or some other factor that makes the entity powerful enough to ignore the ward. This would be the case if the entity were an extremely powerful and elemental even though it would normally be subject to the LBRP because of it's sphere of origin. More complex: The LBRP is designed to be effective in the lower spheres of the tree of life model. Thus entities from the higher spheres of the tree including thier infernal counterparts would be less affected by it, -perhaps not at all. > >Thus the > >need for the SBRP or BRH. > > what do these abbreviations stand for? why do you consider them to > be more powerful than the LBRP? > The Supreme Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (SBRP) banishes all the elements directly where as the LBRP does so indirectly through the elements association with Malkuth. The pentagrams traced (in the LBRP) are the banishing pentagram of earth only. It is kind of a reinforced or "turbocharged" version of the LBRP. The Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram (BRH) is designed to affect and pertain to the upper spheres of the Tree of life model and thus extends to beings not covered by the LBRP. This is perhaps too brief a summary. This explanation stems from my admittedly imperfect understanding of the Kabbalah and the rituals mentioned. Many magicians more advanced in thier studies than I debate the exact meaning, significance and nuances of these rituals for days on end. I hope that I at least gave you an idea of the reasoning behind them, but I suspect that you already were familiar with them anyway. ;) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
