[Rec] Ritual Training: The Adytum: Light Body, Astral Projection and Building the Interior Temple

Ritual Training: The Adytum: Light Body, Astral Projection and Building the Interior Temple
Teacher: Naha
Recorded July 2024
Prerequisite: Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

The Adytum is the innermost sacred place in the Temple, the Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies, where only the Hierophant and High Priestess may enter. Upon the Astral Plane, this is the practitioner’s own interior temple, a sacred place built as a thought form, which once erected, becomes a place for theurgic working, receiving counsel, and meeting with guides. Interior Temple work is a main component of the Arboretum Mysticum, and expresses the Hermetic principle “As within, so without”. This work also prepares the magician for Ritual Pathworking.

Work done in the Interior Temple may happen through the process of Astral Projection, in which the Body of Light of the Magician becomes a vehicle for consciousness. Before attempting Astral travel in the light body, the student should feel comfortable performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Once having established an LBRP practice, aspirant will be ready to begin exploring the Astral Realms, as well as work on and in their own inner temple.

In this training, Naha instructs on the creation of the Light Body, the practice of Astral Travel and the Merkabah Chariot, and the building of the Interior Temple. You will receive the spark of initiation of this work passed down from teacher to disciple.

Whether you have experience with this work or if it is new, you will gain insights into your practice, as all of magic is cumulative, and there are always doorways to go deeper.

The Adytum is held in the chalice of the heart, and as such, this training serves as the Water Initiation in the 22 Teachings curriculum, and will be prerequisite for further practical magic with the element of water.

Before you begin:

Please have a place where you are free from distractions. You will need a chair where you can sit upright with your feet flat on the floor, a journal and something to write with, and if you wish, prepare by purifying and consecrating your space. Setting the tone with appropriate lighting and incense will be conducive to this training.

Please remember that these are sacred teachings, and should be treated as such.
