NEW MAGICKS FOR A NEW AGE

Appendices
Volume I: A New Order of the Ages
Book 2: Routine Ritual Inclusions
Part 5: The Hexagram Rituals

The Hexagram is also used in Magick (see section 6 of this part, following this section). Whereas the
Pentagram is used for dealing with Elemental and Stellar Powers and spirits, including those associated
with the Signs and Constellations, the Hexagram is used for Planetary ones, including those associated
with Earth as a Planet rather than as an Element. Consider the following diagrams:

Th
1=7

P K
3 R 5
* 0 *
*

6 2
B D

G

Sh

A M

(In each of these two diagrams, above, the numbers indicate the order in which to trace the figure, going
in a continuous line from point to point until reaching the origin once more. The first is a Unicursal
Hexagram -- a six-pointed figure that is traced in one continuous line, rather than with the two used to
trace the more usual Star of David. In it, the “0th” or center point, R, is not part of the Hexagram itself;
it is created as the result of the crossing of the trace over itself at that point. The second is an equilateral
triangle which also represents the top triad of the Tree of Life, including its first three _Sephiroth_ in
their normal order.)

The points of the Unicursal Hexagram shown above and, following it, the Triangle of Art, with their
associated Hebrew letters, correspond to the Planets, as follows:

Hebrew Letter Roman Equivalent Planet (with Elements) Pronunciation

Shin Sh Pluto/Fire S, Sh
Mem M Neptune/Water M
Aleph A Uranus/Air A, E (as in Al Shaddai)
Tav Th Saturn/Earth Th, T
Kaph K Jupiter K
Peh P Mars P, Ph
Resh R Sol R
Daleth D Venus D
Beth B Mercury B
Gimel G, C Luna Hard G (“girl”), soft G
(“gem”), sometimes
hard C (“cat”) or soft C
(“cinder”)

There are also Hexagrams for the Elements, just as there are for the Planets. But unlike the latter, those
for the Elements are not traced using the Unicursal Hexagram diagrammed above. They are as follows:

1) Fire

Th
*

Sh
*

* *
A M

* *
P K

I.e., two triangles are traced. For the invoking form, the first is Th*D*B*Th, the second is G*K*P*G.
The second triangle is traced after the first, and superposed on it. For banishing, first trace Th*B*D*Th,
then, superposed on the first, G*P*K*G. Note that the Hexagram of Fire is identical to the Hexagram of
the Planet Pluto.

2) The Hexagram of Water

P * * K

G

Th

B * * D

In the invoking form, first G*P*K*G is traced, then, just below it, Th*D*B*Th. For banishing, first trace
G*K*P*G, then, below it, Th*B*D*Th. This Hexagram is identical to that of the Planet Neptune.

3) Air

Th

B * * D

P * * K

G

For invoking, first trace Th*D*B*Th, then, below the first triangle, G*P*K*G. To banish, trace
Yh*B*D*Th, then G*K*P*G. This Hexagram is the same as that of the Planet Uranus.

4) Earth (the Element)

The Hexagram of Earth is identical to that of Saturn, which, like those for Jupiter, Mars, the Sun,
Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, is traced out as shown in the table given below, with reference to the
Unicursal Hexagram (the following diagram):

Th

P K

With reference to the diagram of the Universal Hexagram given above, the Planetary Hexagrams are
traced out, point to point, as follows:

Planet Invoking Trace Banishing Trace

Luna G*P*D*Th*B*K*G G*K*B*Th*D*P*G
Mercury B*Th*D*P*G*K*B B*K*G*P*D*Th*B
Venus D*P*G*K*B*Th*D D*Th*B*K*G*P*D
Sun See below* See below**
Mars P*D*Th*B*K*G*P P*G*K*B*Th*D*P
Jupiter K*G*P*D*Th*B*K K*B*Th*D*P*G*K
Saturn/Earth Th*D*P*G*K*B*Th Th*B*K*G*P*D*Th
*The Invoking Hexagram of the Sun is made by tracing the Invoking Hexagram of Saturn, immediately
followed by that of Luna.

**The Banishing Hexagram of the Sun is made by tracing the Banishing Hexagram of Saturn,
immediately followed by that of Luna.

Calls can be constructed out of the tracings of the Hexagram, just as they can from those of the
Pentagram. As an example, consider the Invoking Hexagram of Luna. Represented as a string of Roman
letters, the transliterations of the original Hebrew letters associated with the points of the Hexagram and
the Planets, it is

G*P*D*Th*B*K*G

By inserting vowels to make this string of letters pronounceable, as if it were a word, we get something
like

GaPeDiThoBuKaG

(Which vowels are selected for this last is mostly a matter of taste since, Magickally speaking, only the
consonants have Qaballistic, hence Magickal properties and powers which we desire to activate by means
of ritual. Thus the choice of vowels is up to the Operator, because by themselves they are unlikely to
affect the outcome. However, it is recommended that you select those vowels you find easiest to use for
this purpose and which, if anything, add to the resonance and power of your voice as you make the Call.)
After you’ve settled on a choice of vowels to make this string of consonants into a pronounceable
Magickal “word,” you should then practice, practice, PRACTICE saying this “word” until you can use it
in your sleep, and have no trouble at all remembering it. This is true of all these Calls which, like the
physical inscription of the figures of the Hexagrams and Pentagrams, should be overlearned so
thoroughly that, short of major brain-damage, you’ll be able to recall them at need without any effort.

Nota bene: This method of representing a lineal figure by means of a purely vocalized Call can be
extended to any graphic which can be represented as a finite set of points, each of which has associated
with it a unique letter of some alphabet. The interested reader may wish to experiment along those lines.
Below is a representation of the Pentagram in which the various letters are associated with its points.
