There are at least five different ways in which widdershins movemet can be used and understood in ritual. And again, much of it seems to boil down to intent.ravenest said:Why did Crowley utalise the principle of moving widdershins in this ritual? It would seem to go with the concept of banishing.
Widdershins motion can be:
1. A banishing current. (Move deosil to invoke, widdershins to banish.)
2. A cancelling current. (See the the GD Neophyte ceremony.)
3. An invocation of an annihilatory current. (See Liber V vel Reguli.)
4. A symbolic shift in consciousness. (Deosil - terrestrial. Widdershins - celestial.)
5 . An invocation of Lunar or Cthonic energies.
