2-Part Ritual Training
Invocation of the Keys: The Alchemical Ritual & Gematria of the AM Lodge

Teacher: Naha Armády
Prerequisites: Students must have completed our school’s training through one of these paths: Hermetic Qabalah Level II OR Tarot School OR Hebrew for Mystics

Students should be familiar with the 22 Hebrew letters, their names and how to write them. (this can be found in the study guides under Student Resources)

The Arboretum Mysticum or AM Lodge is a contacted inner order and magical working group of the 22 Teachings school, founded in 2017 and meeting every Saturday.   The AM Lodge aims to provide those dedicated to the practice of hermetic and Qabalistic magic a sanctum to practice, learn, have fellowship, and connect to the egregore of the Western Mysteries as stewards of this living tradition.  

One of the central rituals of the Lodge is the Invocation of the Keys. This ritual combines Numerology, Astrology, Tarot, the magic of the sacred Hebrew alephbet, Vibration, Visualization, and working with the Tree of Life. Using all of these methods together, an alchemical formula of intonation is created, which calls forth specific Keys of the Major Arcana, and then activates their energies in the Creative world, whether for greater integration, amplification, transmutation, or whatever purpose calling forth these energies might provide, and then working uses the Divine Names of the Qabalistic Tree of Life to transmute and seal the working.  

This work also leads further into possibilities for Sigil Work and deep inner exploration. It is a ritual working which allows the practitioner to “meet it on their level” bringing whatever their personal experience and intentions are to the work, and using the branches of hermetic science and awarenesses that they are most adept at.  

Students of the Western Mystery Tradition do not need to participate in the AM Lodge in order to perform this ritual. It can be done by anyone who has received the spark through this ritual training, as long as the prerequisite requirements have been fulfilled, and the student approaches the work with integrity and sincerity.

When performed correctly, this ritual aligns the magician with the energies of the day, and raises the vibration of the subtle bodies to one aligned with work on oneself, turning over that which is no longer needed and making space for the higher self in the alchemical process. It attunes one to the rhythms of the month and year by tracking numerological cycles, and helps integrate the esoteric teachings of the Tarot. 

This new version of the ritual training has been expanded into 2 parts, to allow more time for Naha to go deeper into the work. Students will also make their own ritual tools for this rite. 

As with all of the Ritual Trainings, this work is intended to be integrated into the magician’s regular practice, and this particular ritual lends itself to a wonderful daily practice, and can be done in about 10 minutes, or can be stretched into a much longer esoteric exploration. When you receive a Ritual Training from Naha, it is an activation which helps you to understand clearly the steps of how to perform the ritual but also its deeper mystical implications, and this is passed to you like as a spark of initiation, from teacher to student in a sacred lineage.
