I would like to start this thread to cover anything from Crowley's rituals to more creative rites like described in "Hecates Fountain." I've been practicing Liber V Vel Reguli on a daily basis recently and came across a reference to the rite in "The Magical Revival" pg. 221 Starfire edition. 'With very slight variation, the formula can be made the engine for invoking those extraterrestrial energies with which Crowley had intermittent intercourse.' Has anyone had any out of ordinary experiences connected with this invocation?

Yes, I have. In the late 1980s I undertook the daily use of Liber V vel Reguli for a year or so. Towards the end of the time, I noticed that violence seemed to be following me around a few times, having an effect on people around me though never affecting me directly.
One evening, towards the end of the period of practise, I was with some friends at a pub in central London and had to pop out to the nearest cashpoint. Whilst returning, I had to cross a road. The cars had stopped at a red light and I began to cross. Then I heard what sounded like an explosion. At the time, the IRA had bombing campaigns in London in the run-up to Christmas, and at first that's what I thought it was. Then I saw that one of the cars which had stopped had burst into flames under the bonnet of the engine. As soon as I saw that, I had a strong sensation in my solar plexus and knew beyond doubt that this was connected with my daily practice. I don't know how it was connected, but the sensation of connectedness was clear, powerful and certain.
This occurred a week or two before the end of the period of practice, and there were no further incidents.

Thank you Michael for this extraordinary account! Sounds like this could have very well had a place in "Hecates Fountain."

It's a very interesting account Michael. I'm Glad that you weren't too close to that car as you could have been seriously injured and ended up in hospital. I think your Guardian Angel must have been watching over you this time.

Thanks for sharing it!
