Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences: Nachiel of Sol

Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences: Nachiel of Sol

Over the course of the past 18 months, I have been conducting a series of seven planetary conjurations that have sought communication with the planetary intelligences in order to gain insight into the nature of these celestial beings and seek guidance on my own spiritual path.

This entry involving the conjuration of Nachiel of Sol is the final ritual diary included in this series, following an experience that brought together many of the lessons learned and the new spiritual foundations that I now stand upon. Although it is in some ways a culmination of the work that has been conducted, it is also merely a beginning for everything else that is now able to emerge.

Above all, I continue to have a great deal of respect and gratitude for the experiences that these conjurations have brought. These ritual diaries are published in the hope that they might encourage others to see the value of such workings and not be intimated by what can at first seem to be overly complex practices, but ultimately everything that is needed we already have to hand.

If you haven’t yet read through the other entries in this series, then it is best to start from the beginning as the whole journey has been an evolutionary process that is reflected in the entries over time.

I. Agiel of Saturn

II. Jophiel of Jupiter

III. Tiriel of Mercury

IV. Malcha of Luna

V. Hagiel of Venus

VI. Graphiel of Mars

I’m pleased to say that, unlike the previous conjuration of Graphiel of Mars, some deeply meaningful experiences were obtained with Nachiel. Although, once again, they highlight that this kind of astromagical theurgy is not a fixed process with entirely predictable results, but rather a dynamic engagement with the cosmos and our role within it as agents of consciousness.

With that, let’s look at the conjuration of Nachiel of Sol in the same manner as the previous workings so that we can get a clear comparison of its process and results.

Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences: Graphiel of Mars

For over a year now, I have been embarking on a journey of ceremonial magic focused on the planetary intelligences that has shaped the course of my spiritual path. This series of ritual diaries follows each major working in order to provide some basic insight into what the process might look like and the experiences that emerge from these age-old practises.

If you haven’t yet read through the previous parts in the series, it’s best to start from the beginning. I have tried to be open about what was occurring at each stage and in many ways it is how the experiences build upon one another that is most fruitful to observe.

I. Agiel of Saturn

II. Jophiel of Jupiter

III. Tiriel of Mercury

IV. Malcha of Luna

V. Hagiel of Venus

Today’s post looks at the sixth working in the series, the conjuration of Graphiel of Mars, and stands out for being quite different to the previous conjurations. Primarily because this is the one where ‘nothing’ happened, or perhaps that is just how I perceived it at the time…

Esoteric Review: Holy Daimon by Frater Acher

Esoteric Review: Holy Daimon by Frater Acher

There aren’t many esoteric authors today producing works with the kind of allure Frater Acher has achieved. His open and honest style has allowed him to combine anonymity with approachability, backed up by a level of scholarship and depth of understanding that many publications lining occult bookstores are not able to muster. The fact thatContinue ReadingContinue Reading

Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences: Hagiel of Venus

Over the course of the past year, I have been working with a small group of fellow seekers (organised by Josh Proto of Stellar Talismans) on magical workings intended to open communication with the planetary intelligences as outlined in traditional Renaissance astrological and occult practices. As someone with little knowledge of astrology, but enough experienceContinue ReadingContinue Reading
