"The visualizations here draw their imagery from classical
grimoires and Qabalistic philosophy. Plus, they have a specific and
useful goal. Each visualization takes you on a journey into the
symbolic realm of an archangel, where you are introduced to the
entity's sigils and symbols and other sacred imagery before
encountering the archangel himself. Each visualization builds upon
those before it, until the aspirant has been led through the seven
circles of heaven and has established a personal link to the
archangel that governs each one. At the end, the aspirant will have
learned to recognize the images, seals and symbols they will
encounter in the Solomonic and other advanced systems of angel
summoning. Such guided visualizations are certainly absent from the
medieval texts about angels. So, why should I urge anyone who
wishes to work with angels - even Solomonic practitioners - to
follow the instructions in this book? Simply put, this book is
based upon the same principle I described above: safely
establishing first contact. It accomplishes this without resort to
the full-fledged summoning ceremonies intended to call the angel
down to the physical plane - an advanced practice the grimoires
tend to jump into without preamble. This book even includes simple
rituals by which you can submit petitions to the archangels in
times of need - and these rituals are not entirely removed from the
methods of the grimoires. Therefore, working through the steps
outlined in this book can serve as a wonderful bridge between
"square one" and the fully adept practices of angelic summoning.":
