I don't know who "snuffin" is but he doesn't understand the LBRP at all.
IT IS AN INFERIOR AND UMIMPORTANT OPERATION per Mathers own notes. It was given to people for the sake of learning the Qabalistic Cross and was invented as a ritual to be done in instances that Temples were used for other things. The supreme ritual is the one that matters. The Q cross was the most vital part as it is the key analysis of the Neophyte Ritual.
Crowley made the LBRP his own and uses it to different effect, until he gets ahold of the Adept papers of the Golden Dawn, some time before he prepares a walk into the vault. Most of snuffin's suggestions are foolish unless he is trying to just make a new ritual, and an unbalanced one at that. I have adept papers, and unpublished works, and can honestly say:
The names are solid, no blinds exist in this ritual, but there are specific things left out. For one, it should be done on the four-fold breath.
The names in the quarters,
East - YHVH
South - ADNI
West - AHIH
North - A.G.L.A. (Ateh Gibor Le-Olam Adonai)
YHVH and EHIH form AHYHVH, with the three he's being both the three Officers of the Neophyte Temple, with duplicity in the Hegemon. These are also veils for the Three Mother letters. These form AH, TH, VH with ATU being the word "Key." This is a veil for the analysis of the key word, INRI by the formula of LVX being the mystery of the Hidden Father Letter.
Also, it says, on the PAth of the influence of Mem, Ahih YHVH, literally, "I eternally am, was, and shall be."
ADNI is the sun, as seen from Malkuth, no brainer. Adonai Ha-Aretz is Tiphareth of Malkuth, the physical sun, suprised? In the north, where the sun sits in adoration but veiled by the distance3 of space, there is only an acknowledgement of Adonai, no specific name. Rather the formula used Atah (The top of the verticle axis of the qabalistic cross) Gibor (the severe apex of the horizontal axis of the Qabalistic Cross) Le-Olam (the union of those two bars of the cross), and Adonai, which is the External Magnified Presence of the Light of the Sun.
As for the making of pentagrams elemental for the LBRP, this is a horrid idea but whatever floats his boat. It is a ritual that is an affirmation and little else. It have no great current, inherently in it. it is a ritual designed to align one to the Portal experience between the First and Second orders... between Philosophus and Paroketh. Crowely changed the position of the Six rayed star (The lights of the pillars) to the Banner of the East. Genius as he affirms Adepthood in each rhetoric.
This ritual in general is based out of Eliphas Levis works for the conjuration of the four, which with it's cross said "Tibi sunt Malchut et Geburah et Chesed per oeonas AMEN!" this is what he used - the Golden Dwn adopt this, almong wiht his prayers in their entirety for the supreme ritual of the pentagram, which is means to be studied by Adepts of the second order.
They can't blind something that didn't originate with them.
Sidenote:
Most of the arguments and "realizations" about prepositions are mental workouts, but useless in the work itself. People who astrally fingerpaint with their own perogatives that seem right, are often just looking for the easy distinction without piercing material enough to grow the existing content which already works. Better if you don't understand a ritual, you compose your own.
