This applies to everything in the New Avatar Power, in general.
This is based of REAL Messianic Qabala. It passed hands outside of families or tribes, but it is the same as REAL Qabala. I know this, having received a REAL Messianic Qabala in my father's family's records since 1684. This means it come from the book you know as the Bible. Furthermore, it comes from an ancient tradition of root mantrum employed by canaanites which was integrated into a view of Jews who believed or employed the biblical doctrine of the old and new testaments in various languages. It comes from a time where magicians HAD to be be ployglots capable of speaking in many languages, and writing is several as well.
You can find EVERY NAME in NAP in the Bible. Because that is where they come from. It is more like an updated version of the Sixth and Seventh books of Moses, with the Biblical stuff suppressed (for the most part) and no need for any material outside yourself. The only tools you get are orations, and if you do not want to use those, that is fine - because they are not the original ones used, either. If you have a problem with this, go ahead and drop your Lemegeton off on Ebay, along with your Heptameron, and the majority of your books on "Magick."
So what did magick look like:
Basically:
Prayer - air (Aleph) - Tipareth (lesser Kether)
Purification - water (Mem) - Bell - Binah
Consecration - fire (Shin) - Candle - Chokmah
Doctrinal Reading with the Spirit name in it. AIN SOPH - Book - Kether
Petition or Taliman making - Da'ath
Offering - Ha-Aretz
NAP basically drops out the Doctrinal Reading, opts just for petitions, and nixes the offering in general. It should be said, that offering is made to the LORD who is to give the reward to the spirit itself, in his wisdom. Direct offering to spirits is not made.
You should not speak to a spirit about the same thing for seven days, but only six - they need rest. It was not the LORD who needed rest, but his creation. There are prayers and psalms to made offering or to encourage them to answer you more greatly.
In certain traditions, you orate the first six days of creation, (which are all written far different than translated) and then you orate the part about the REST, and then you rest. Then you recite a part of another prayer which calls all the angels to acknowledge their God, Ain Soph who is white fire whereupon is written their names in black fire, and then you call from their numbers them by the words where they are found - i.e. recite the verses where those names are found, and then you give them petition, and tehillim (praise in psalm).
There are many variations, but all of them have a similar idea behind them. NAP is just a "bare-bones" approach. If you want a bare-bones approach, this works well. If that is not what you want - then perhaps you need to add a bit more. I don't see the harm in having a cup of tea, or offering one to your "guest". In fact, I have done so in Chinese magic quite effectively. There are herb greens and roots which were dried, steeped in hot water, and many were called "bitter herbs" - one of these was dandelion greens and roots and cinnamon. There are others, but go ahead. I would consider this a fine addition, especially if you are familiar with Japanese tea ceremony.
BUT-
What you call a banishing is not. It is a purification by water. This is VERY consistent with NAP. Hallowed ground is typically Purified with water (washed with water made holy hyssop in a laver of brass), Consecrated with fire (an orison of smoke and heat from incense). This is the way offerings are prepared in the the Temple.
The purification by water is accompanied with the words of psalm 51:7 (FYI: Levi used Hebrew, GD/Crowley used Latin)

Hebrew:
t’chat’eni b’ezob w’et’har t’kab’seni umisheleg ‘al’bin.
Greek:
hrantieis me hyss poi, kai katharisthsomai; plyneis me, kai hyper chiona leukanthsomai.
Latin:
asparges me hysopo et mundabor lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor.
English: (KJV)
Sprinkle me with hyssop and I am pure; wash me in it and I shall be whiter than snow.
-----------------
The consecration with Fire is accompanied by these words of psalm 18:8 (This is not something everyone knows, and it constitutes oral tradition not represented by the published wording used by Levi or Crowley. My Grandfather bid me use this, and so did my mentor in the OTO, neither of who knew each other. It matches what I was told by a Rabbi with whom I have spoken about Qabala. As it comprises my primary instructions, I follow this.)
Hebrew:
`alah `ashan b’apo w’esh-mipiu to’kel gechalim ba`aru mimenu.
Greek:
aneb kapnos en orgÿ autou, kai pyr apo prospou autou katephlogisen, anthrakes anphthsan apí autou.
Latin:
ascendit fumus de furore eius et ignis ex ore eius devorans carbones incensi sunt ab eo.
English: (KJV)
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

The Qabalistic Cross is not as well known as one might imagine: It predates the Lord's Prayer and it is influenced by practices older than Christ. It is from Messianic Qabala.
There is a HUGE infusion of Qabala in the End of the New Testament, including the verse of 1 Chronicles 29:11, which is ALSO attributed to David. Bascially rule #1 is if David (Dawid = "beloved") is supposed to have said it, it is magical.
The following prayer is recited by Qabalists as the draw a cross (up down right left, center) and encircle it in front of themselves (this symbolizes his first musical instrument):
Hebrew:
l’ak YHVH hag’dulah w’hag’burah w’hatiph’ereth w’hanetsach w’hahod ki-kol bashamayim uba’arets l’ak Yahúwah hamam’lakah w’hamith’nase’ l’kol l’ro’sh
Greek:
soi, kyrie, h megalsyn kai h dynamis kai to kauchma kai h nik kai h ischys, hoti sy pantn
tn en toi ouranoi kai epi ts gs despozeis, apo prospou sou tarassetai pas basileus kai ethnos.
Latin:
tua est Domine magnificentia et potentia et gloria atque victoria et tibi laus cuncta enim quae in caelo sunt et in terra tua sunt tuum Domine regnum et tu es super omnes principes
English: (KJV)
Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Great post Raum - very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
