Ritual Menor do Pentagrama
23 de dezembro de 2022O Ritual Menor do Pentagrama, ou RmP como é comumente referenciado, foi criado pela Ordem Hermética da Aurora Dourada (Golden Dawn) e hoje em dia é um dos mais conhecidos e muito utilizado em diversas ordens iniciáticas.
O RmP é um ritual de banimento e tem por objetivo purificar, ou seja, fazer uma limpeza energética que precede o trabalho magístico e cerimonial. Isto se faz necessário principalmente quando se faz rituais de invocação, pois fornece uma blindagem o ambiente e protege os participantes de ataques psíquicos.
Porém sei de pessoas que utilizam o RmP para limpar cômodos de suas casas, ou mesmo uma sala de empresa que será local de alguma reunião importante, por exemplo, com o objetivo de garantir que a energia do local não esteja carregada negativamente.
O Ritual
O Ritual geralmente se divide em 3 partes, sendo elas: A Cruz Cabalística; Os pentagramas; e a Invocação dos Arcanjos. Na internet encontra-se o ritual com pequenas variações, vou postar uma delas aqui.
Abaixo você encontra um vídeo do Ritual sendo executado em uma sessão da Golden Dawn.
Parte 1 – A Cruz Cabalística
1 – Toque a testa e diga ATEH
2 – Toque o sexo e diga MALKUTH
3 – Toque o ombro direito e diga ‘VE – GEBURAH
4 – Toque o ombro esquerdo e diga VE – GEDULAH
5 – Junte as mãos no peito e diga LE – OLAHM AMEN
Parte 2 – Os Pentagramas
6 – De frente para o Leste, trace um pentagrama visualizando-o, no centro visualize o primeiro nome, IHVH e inspirando-o, sentindo passar pelo peito até os pés e sentindo a sua volta, fazendo o sinal do entrante, varando o pentagrama, vibre o nome (“Iod Rê Vô Rê”, por exemplo) com energia.
7 – De frente para o Sul, repita o processo anterior trocando o nome por ADONAI.

Parte 3 – A Invocação dos Arcanjos
10 – Na posição de Cruz (os braços abertos e os pés juntos), o estudante repetirá: “A minha frente RAPHAEL”
11 – “Atrás de mim GABRIEL”
12 – “A minha direita MICHAEL”
13 – “A minha esquerda AURIEL”
14 – “Pois ao meu redor flamejam os Pentagramas”
Sempre imaginando os Arcanjos nas suas respectivas posições e os pentagramas em chamas. Cada um está relacionado a um elemento: Ar, Fogo, Água e Terra, na sequência. Como os elementos são 4, o magista, ao centro, será a 5ª parte do pentagrama, o espírito.
15 – “E na coluna do meio, brilha a estrela de seis raios”.
Que o estudante visualize dois Hexagramas, um em cima e o outro projetado embaixo, com uma faixa de luz estendendo-se infinitamente na vertical, envolvendo-o.
16 – Repita a Parte 1 e o ritual estará encerrado.

Liber Tabernaculi Aurorae
Book of the Inner Spiritual Tabernacle
Prooemium
“And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.”
– Book of Exodus 25:8
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
– Gospel of John 1:14
“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
– First Epistle to the Corinthians 3:16
The Mystery of the Tabernacle runs through the whole of Revelation.
From the desert of Sinai to the Heavenly Jerusalem, from the Tent of Meeting to the Church, from the Church to the heart of man, there is a single reality: God desires to dwell.
What was wood in the desert became stone in Jerusalem.
What was stone became Body in the Incarnation.
What is Body became Sacrament.
And what is Sacrament must become the inner Temple.
This Liber presents the symbolic key by which the rites of the so-called Order of the Golden Dawn may be understood as structuring the same biblical archetype: the construction of the Tabernacle, not exterior, but spiritual.
Not as a replacement for the Church of Christ, but as a symbolic reading that rediscovers its roots in the Old and New Testaments.
I. The Archetype of the Tabernacle
1. The Tabernacle in the Desert
In the Book of Exodus 26–27, God reveals to Moses the pattern of the Sanctuary:
• Outer Court
• Holy Place
• Holy of Holies
• Veil
• Altar
• Ark
Each element was protection against the “desert,” symbol of chaos, untamed forces, the “spirits of the wilderness.”
“He will hide me in His tabernacle in the day of trouble.”
– Book of Psalms 27:5
The Tabernacle was not merely worship.
It was a real structure of spiritual protection.
2. From Tabernacle to Temple
The Second Book of Samuel 7 announces the transition to the Temple.
The Temple of Solomon is the fixing in stone of what had been mobile.
Yet the symbolism remains:
East — Light
West — Outer world
Veil — separation from the profane
Purification
3. The Body as Temple
With Christ, the Mystery becomes interiorized:
“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
— Gospel of John 2:19
Christ is the new Temple.
And by grace, the baptized person participates in that Temple.
Apostolic Catholic theology teaches that through Baptism the soul becomes the dwelling place of the Trinity and bearer of divine rights.
St. Thomas Aquinas affirms:
“God is in the soul as the known in the knower and the beloved in the lover.”
Thus, the definitive Tabernacle is interior.
II. The Pentagram and the Five Wounds
1. The Five Wounds
• Right hand
• Left hand
• Right foot
• Left foot
• Pierced side
“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
Gospel of Luke 24:39–40
In medieval spirituality, these wounds were seen as sources of protection.
The pentagram is described as a symbol of the Five Wounds.
Before the nineteenth century, the symbol bore no demonic connotation, but was related to the final initiation of Christ.
2. Theological Meaning
Each point = one wound.
The center = the Heart of Christ.
Man with arms outstretched naturally forms a pentagram, image of the Crucifixion.
Thus, tracing the Pentagram may be understood as:
• Invocation of the Wounds
• Seal of protection
• Victory over the senses
“By His wounds we were healed.”
– Book of the Prophet Isaiah 53:5
III. The Pentagram Ritual as Foundation of the Tabernacle
In operative symbolism:
• To trace the pentagram = to seal the walls of the Temple
• Divine Name = foundation of authority
• Central Cross = consecration of the space
It is equivalent to:
• Court of purification
• Ritual washing
• Separation from chaos
As in the Psalm:
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
– Book of Psalms 91:1
The space becomes a spiritual “refuge.”
IV. The Hexagram Ritual
The Hexagram symbolizes:
• Heaven and Earth united
• Divine and human nature
• Incarnation
“In Him dwells bodily all the fullness of the Godhead.”
– Epistle to the Colossians 2:9
Just as the Holy of Holies was the point of maximum Presence, the Hexagram represents the center of union.
V. The Middle Pillar
The Middle Pillar is analogous:
• To the pillar of fire in the desert
• To the axis of the Holy of Holies
• To Jacob’s ladder
Book of Genesis 28 — the ladder that unites heaven and earth.
Theologically, it recalls Sanctifying Grace flowing from the Cross to the heart.
VI. The Rosicrucian Ritual
The Rose = Heart
The Cross = Sacrifice
“I am crucified with Christ.”
– Epistle to the Galatians 2:19
The Rosicrucian Christian symbolizes the inner Temple blossoming by grace.
VII. Invocation of the Guardian Angel
“He shall give His angels charge over you.”
– Book of Psalms 91:11
Apostolic Catholic tradition affirms the reality of the Guardian Angel.
The Lord of the Universe is Christ Pantocrator.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”
– Gospel of Matthew 28:18
VIII. The Four Archangels
Traditionally associated with the four directions:
Archangel Michael — Combat
Archangel Gabriel — Annunciation
Archangel Raphael — Healing
Archangel Uriel — Light
They form the spiritual walls of the Temple.
IX. The Heavenly Jerusalem
“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem.”
– Book of Revelation 21
Progressive practice symbolically recreates:
• Walls
• Gates
• Throne
• Lamb
The soul becomes a microcosm of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
X. Mass and Interior Eucharist
In Catholic theology:
• The Mass is the sacramental re-presentation of the Sacrifice of the Cross.
• The Eucharist is the real presence of Christ.
Spiritually, the practitioner:
1. Purifies (Outer Court)
2. Consecrates (Holy Place)
3. Offers interiorly (Holy of Holies)
Spiritual Eucharist is communion of desire, recognized in the mystical tradition.
But it does not replace the Sacrament of the real Eucharist of the Apostholic Church of Christ.
XI. Conclusion — The Tabernacle of Energy
The Pyramid is stone.
The Tabernacle is wood.
The Church is concrete.
The Body is flesh.
The inner Temple is light.
The ritual system may be read as:
• Construction of the Court
• Raising of the walls
• Sealing by the Wounds
• Angelic invocation
• Surrender to Christ
And thus arises the Rosicrucian Christian,
not as rupture, but as symbolic reading of the same Revelation.
All proceeds:
From the Book of Genesis
to the Book of Revelation.
The Mystery of the Biblical Tabernacle.
Clausula Finalis
The Mystery is not to replace the Church,
but to understand that the exterior Temple requires the interior Temple.
The true Tabernacle is the purified heart.
And Christ is the center.
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men.”
– Book of Revelation 21:3
