I'm interested in doing the Miracle of the New Avatar Power ritual “Chant to Bring Health” (for myself in this case). In Donald Michael Kraig's book Modern Magick, he says it's necessary to do a divination before performing any magickal rituals, to determine the effect and the outcome of your magick (and to hence avoid performing black magick). In performing a divination in this instance, how would you go about phrasing your question?
“What will be the outcome if I perform the 'Chant to Bring Health' from the book 'New Avatar Power,'
starting today and stopping either after the period of 31 days or until I feel that I've been healed (which ever of the two ends up occurring first)?”
Next, if the divination appeared negative the first time, would it be okay to ask the question once each subsequent day thereafter, until a positive indication is given in the tarot spread? Or would it be wiser to wait a few days before posing the same question again (I don't know whether the forces that be would see it as pestering if I were to ask once each day until I received a positive indication; or whether such course of action would be deemed perfectly acceptable by them).
Third, should I add to the statement, “and harm no one or thing..” to the tail end of the “Chant to Bring Health?” On page 134 of Konstantinos' Summoning Spirits, he states: “Also, if you request anything more than information from an entity, you have to include a clause that commands the entity to harm no one while performing its task....” “...Most entities in the universe have little or no concept of the difference between good and evil. If they are commanded to do something, they will look for the easiest way to accomplish their goal.” On page 135: “ Word you commands to entities, or even candle spells and talismanic charging rituals, so they include a clause about not having anyone come to harm as a result of your ritual.”
And fourth, should a closing banishing/purification and License to Depart be performed after doing the “Chant to Bring Health” Ritual (Frater U.D. mentions doing such in his book High Magick); or is this unnecessary in working with the NAP current?
Thank you all for your time and advice.
