I don’t actually disagree with you: it’s probably better to build a new banishing rite than to try to revise the LBRP. But having been asked about “revising the LBRP”, I tried to stick to that topic as the frame of reference. I’m enjoying the interplay of all our ideas quite a bit. Thank you for sharing an important viewpoint. I know that I appreciate it a lot. — Andrew

Absolutely.

And I believe that strong tradition and a firm anchor in the collective subconscious make a ritual more powerful.

Personalization and tradition are conflicting currents within any work of magick. How to find the perfect balance is the question. If I was better at math I’d try to come up with an equation for it.
