A BRIEF OUTLINE

This is a brief outline of the work showing how each chapter adds information to the chapter
above, not unlike building a pyramid starting by starting at the top with the one brick, then two,
then three until all the chapters are set in place to make a base to support the work.

Part 1

This is the largest chapter and deals with Angels and Archangels in religion, myth, legend,
folklore. It takes in many subjects associated with the angels, Christian, Roman, Greek, Islam,
Biblical, Apocryphal, Fallen Angels, Dragons and Serpents, the Guph, the Shekinah, the Bat,
Manna the Bread of the Angels, Melchizedek, some Enochian Angels, the Bad Angels, the Orders
of the Angels and many words and themes associated with this study. This chapter is divided into
sixty–six subtitles.

Part 2

The Planet and their Angels. This chapter adds the information of the angels and the planets
they rule, what the planets rule and how to use this.
Your Personal and Guardian Angels. This chapter adds information for finding your
Guardian Angels, your Auxiliary Angels and the Angel of the Ascendant or Benben Angel, the Six
o’clock Angel.
The Pentagrams of the Angels. This chapter adds information of how to make a Pentagram of
the Angels a general pentagram for you, your home and those living there. The Personal Pentagram
of the Angels is a pentagram that is personal to the one who makes it because it is made up from
information personal to that individual.
Your Letters or Invocation. This chapter adds information of how to make the Letters of
Invocation, what to use, how to write them and how these are used using the Angelic Signatures,
Seals, etc.
Pyramid of Personal Power. This chapter adds information to the above for this is the ‘motor’
of the work, that which ‘drives’ it.
Jacob’s Ladder. This chapter adds information and discusses the ‘what,’ the ‘why’ and ‘that’
which started the writing.
The Kameas in Angelic Use. This chapter adds information and discusses the use of the
kameas in Angelic Magic, how they are used. The Seals, Spirits and Intelligences; the Olympic
Spirits etc. the use of the Hebrew Alphabet.
The Magical Scripts. This chapter adds information, discusses the use of Magical Scripts and
gives sufficient reliable scripts, enough to undertake the work given in the work.
The Tables of Planetary and Angelic Hours. This chapter adds information and discusses
how to find the correct hours and days for doing your work and these Tables can be used for many
other things. The Tables are easy to use and are supplied at the back of the work.
Closing the Work. These are some observations on the work given here, stressing a few of the
more important points, some final suggestions to the reader and my leave–taking.
Diagrams and Tables. These are mentioned of throughout the work — I did say the outline
would be very brief!

PART ONE: THE ANGELS . . .

FIRST THINGS FIRST

(NB. Some parts of this chapter, because of its length, have been given sub–headings if it deals with a
specific subject, information or angel(s) at any length. This has been done to make it possible for the reader
to go to a particular theme or information quickly if they want to but the heading must not be taken to mean
that this is a main entry or the only place where such information can be found.)

This work is in two separate parts. The first part is largely concerned with the information that
we will use in the second. Therefore, it will aid understanding considerably if Part One is familiar
to the reader. Part One of the work could be regarded as ‘the theory’ of the subject matter in hand,
which is ‘The Angels . . . ’ of the sub–title. Part Two is ‘the practice’ that deals with ‘ . . . and
their Magic’ of the sub–title. This is why it was said that time spent studying the material of Part
One will be useful and valuable to the reader later when they reach Part Two — because we can
always deal more successfully with things that we understand or know.
When we start writing about angels we have to decide what are the ‘first things’ to be
considered ‘first?’ At this early stage, if we begin to ponder the extent and complexity of the
journey we are about to undertake, we may never start because we may feel that the task could
possibly overwhelm us for the subject is vast and it is not exhausted here. Where do we start in our
study of these magnificent creations that have fascinated countless millions of people from so many
countries and religions through equally countless centuries — by whatever name they are found
called. The subject is a vast one without doubt and somewhat daunting in its scope so, as I have
said, perhaps it would be better not to think about it but plunge straight in and become caught up in
the tide and follow where it takes us.
Knowing this would be a long chapter I pondered how it would be best to set it all down, not
all of the first attempts were thought acceptable so I resorted to an old practise of taking wine
before retiring and consider how best to do the task just as I was falling asleep. I awoke during the
night and wrote down in a notepad my nocturnal ramblings, which is one way that I sometimes
work. In the morning, I read the notes and can only hope I have done them some justice but if I
have not, the fault is mine, what follows are the notes as written down. Of course, throughout the
work for any lapsus calami found I accept full responsibility, it came out as:

‘Regard the first part of the work as the well–spring of a stream that will eventually grow into a
large river. The river will grow and finally end at the harbour that divides Parts One and Two of the
work. The area between the two parts is the dock where all the goods and cargo (= information
gathered on the journey down Part One) are stored, sorted and inspected before starting out on the
second part of the journey, which is Part Two. These goods are the various sections that have been
discussed, the explanations or information additional to the main angelic theme and insert these at
strategic points in the river as it flows on.
1
‘Do not regard these ‘strategic points’ in the journey as a dam that blocks the flow of the river.
See them more as an ‘island’ or ‘group of islands’ where the reader can pause in their travels down
to the river’s end and its ‘harbour.’ A rest before they embark out on the open sea, to try to find
new lands and unexplored territories that lie unmapped in Part Two. These pauses should not be
thought of as breaks in the journey but resting places where the river flows on all sides of the island
and the journey can be picked up again once the information the islands give is set out for the
reader’s use by picking up what ‘stores’ are needed.
Call these ‘islands’ — Shekinah, Merkabah Mysteries, Melchizedek, Bat Qol, Lilith,
Mammon, Cabbalistic Angels, Heresy, Enochia and its Angels, Guph and include the traditions,
legends and folklore concerning the subjects of the ‘angelic islands.’ These ‘islands’ should be
regarded as supply depots for what will be needed for the journey ahead or give additional
information that may help. In this way, the long journey will be taken with some breathing space
on dry land to pick up extra supplies and these breaks should give additional understanding of the
subject.’ This is what I have attempted to do according to the notes but whether I have been
successful or not, only time will tell.

The words of the sub–title have a purpose and are deliberately composed and divided to show
this purpose. The first part is ‘The Angels . . . ’ and this makes up Part One of the work, the
section you are reading now. The second part of the sub–title ‘ . . . and their Magic’ makes up Part
Two of the work, the part we will be studying next. These two sections when put together (as they
are on the front page) give us the purpose of the work in one sentence — The Angels . . . and their
Magic.

To those brought up in the West, despite the rapid movement of populations and the even
swifter changing fashions in so many areas of life, which seem to come and go with every passing
wind today, this has to be the Bible. This is because it is the ‘the Book’ of the writer, his family, the
country where he was born and book from which he was originally taught. However, the angels or
‘celestial messengers’ are obviously not confined only to the Bible or the Christian faith. All
religions and religious philosophies have such ‘other–world’ beings in their pantheon and many
have been dealing with them long before Christianity arrived.
This all–important ‘middle ground’ stands between a nation, a people or an individual at one
end and their God or Supreme Being at the other. It is here there could be a chance of contact
because this area is intermediate and between the two, common ground where a ‘meeting’ might be
possible because of the desire to ‘meet halfway.’
What occupies the middle ground and how can it be used to advantage? This is an important
area that we must try to become familiar with so that we do not get lost on our journey. It is like the
area of land that lies between a large country — the vast celestial — and a small one — us!
In the religions of Ancient Greece, Rome, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other the other
peoples, the angels act as intermediaries and Divine Messengers, often sent to give instruction,
information, to advise, warn, give comfort, rescue, to give commands or chastise the human race or
an individual in some way. An angel can act as a protective guardian, a teacher or a divine warrior.
Angels can come on behalf of the Power or Source that they serve and they can bring with them the
fiat of their Creator to give, bless, advise, protect, punish, rebuke, destroy and to even bring death,
natural or otherwise. The Angel of Death is one of the most constant and ever-present of angels in
all religions, whatever title is found.
We must not regard angels only as the fluffy artistic creations of the annual Christmas or other
religious cards and writings of those who make use of them with similar license. This does not
