Invisible Assistance

One form of Invisible Assistance in the Western Mysteries is based upon the themes of birth, death and rebirth are seen in various representations. Whether it is the Masonic initiatory myth of Hiram Abiff, the discovery of the tomb of Christian Rosenkreütz or the Dying and Resurrected God of myths the world over, the theme of dying and being reborn is inherent.

The direct response of the Initiate to these experiences is something that is better experienced than written about and forms part of the greater mysteries. A practical outcome of understanding the above cycle is to aid those that are being born, those that are suffering and those that have left the physical world to continue their journey.

Thoth, Hermes, Mercury are not just gods of Magick but are also all psychopomps, leaders of souls from the living into the afterlife. What this afterlife is exactly depends on which aspect of the tradition you are working with. The common theme of an afterlife beyond this physical experience is that there are guides there to help us cross over and learn about our new reality. In the spirit of the psychopomps of the Western Mystery Tradition the work below is given in service to all living beings.

The following  Invisible Assistance exercises can be performed by anyone with a few minutes set aside each day. They have been changed from the originals from the T.M.O. and A.M.O.R.C. to be more universal in nature across traditions within the Western Mysteries and are not allied to any specific Egregore, or group mind, but open to anyone with the initiative to serve silently.

  1. Thank you for these exercises. I will try some of them. A question popped up in my head while reading your thoughts on changing the original format to be more universal and thereby accessible.

    If the operation is not directed to a specific Egregore, then is it possible for the intent to rise above the astral plane into the third world where the purpose is absorbed by the archetype who carries it past the abyss to the last three spheres of spirit where it becomes actualized. As above, so below?

    There is, of course, the possibility of trying to tap into or even create a universal Egregore but would be a tough thing to do. Much like a martial arts student who takes a few lessons from a master then declares they are creating a new system.

    On the other hand, who am I to tell the gods what they can and cannot do.

    1. Thank you for this well thought out comment. Your first two paragraphs are what the purpose of changing the format was intended for. Working directly with the archetypes rather than the egregores. Definitely not attempting to create a new egregore or system here just relaying what has been learned. I also agree with your analogy of Martial Arts. Egregores can evolve and change over time and in some cases, get to the point where they drive away those who disagree with them. One only needs to look up a few Orders online and see the outcome. At the same time most of these Orders do do great work as well.
