Hello everyone, 93!
I wanted to ask, in Thelema and the Astrum Argentum, is it necessary that we follow the planetary days, hour, and moon phase for the performance of a planetary working if we are to already perform the Greater Ritual of the Hexagram of the planet we wish to invoke beforehand? Some Thelemites are telling me that planetary timing is unnecessary but solomonic Magicians state that it is absolutely necessary to follow the timing.
For example, If I am to perform a Geburah Ritual, to summon the Archangel of Mars Kamael, Graphiel, and Bartzabel, but perform the Greater Ritual of the Hexagram for Mars to invoke the energy of the planet, am I still required to follow the planetary timing required for the performance of the rite, as we do in the Solomonic Tradition? Or would it be okay to discard them completely as we already invoked the energy of the planets.
Thanks alot and looking forward to the responses.
