[1] The Magical Diary should by now have the daily record of your practice with the Lesser
Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram plus the results of several geomantic divinations.

The following procedure is followed:
-
1

. Clear the space by using the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (see Appendix I).
. Place the card bearing the chosen tattwa symbol in the appropriate Elemental quarter at eye-level
with the blank white card beside the symbol. Alternately, hang the symbol next to or on the white
screen or wall.
3
. Sit down facing the symbol relaxed but alert, and gaze for a time at the symbol - not straining, but
not allowing the attention to wander.
4
. Switch the gaze smoothly from the symbol to the plain white surface and notice that the
transference of the symbol is in the complementary colour on the white surface (eg Tejas, the red
triangle would transfer as an apple green triangle).
To begin with, it is as well to practise this much only, for a while, with each of the symbols of the
elements and sub-elements, until one is thoroughly familiar, not only with the straight appearance of
the symbols painted on the cards, but their complementary appearance on the white surface. Once this
stage is reached, a little more practice will make it possible to visualize the symbol in the mind's eye,
and change it into its complementary version, thus obviating the need for the cards. Assuming facility
to this standard, the ritual proceeds as follows:

7
. Holding the complementary image of the tattwa firmly in the mind's eye, enlarge it to door size.
. Imagine yourself passing through the symbol doorway leaving your seated body behind.
. Look out beyond the 'door' and see what is there. After a little practice it is possible to move further
away from the door and explore the elemental/astral terrain beyond the 'door'. If you do venture into
the landscape, be sure to return back the same way through the symbol-door.
8
. Upon returning switch the complementary colour back to the original colour of the symbol and
visualize the door closing behind you, thus establishing your return to normal conditions.
9
. Then shrink the 'door' to symbol-size, and perform a ritual gesture to signify the end of the working.
