Vibrate is a bit of
occult jargon that is interesting in that the users
don't seem to agree on
what exactly it means. This, of course, makes it difficult
for any
solitary practitioner of magic who sees this word used in instructions -- what do they mean?
I have seen it used to mean:
The last one is particularly interesting because while some instructions are given in
Liber O,
according to
Tim Maroney you need the secret
occult fraternity
knowledge, which he happily shares because he feels that his time with
an
occult fraternity was a waste. I'm going to paraphrase and
shorten the ritual below; you can read his full discussion on it (and
the rest of the Lesser Banishing) at
http://maroney.org/Essays/Pentagram_Ritual.html.
While standing up straight and holding your arms straight out at your
sides, blow all the air out of your lungs. Next, close your eyes and
inhale through your nose, visualizing that the breath is the name. (In
other words, you are inhaling the name into you.) While doing so,
slowly fluidly sweep your forearms so that your fists are on your
temples. Visualize the breath-name slowly (but not so slow you're gasping)
moving down from your lungs to your feet.
When it reaches your feet, visualize it rebounding back up with a surge
of energy. Throw yourself forward, moving your left foot about a
foot forward to catch yourself, your hands together like a diver and
your torso parallel to the floor. As all this is happening, blow the
air out your nose, but project the name straight ahead, as if it was a
laser beam shooting out from your hands to infinity.
To finish, return to a standing posture, with your left arm at your
side. Hold your right index finger to your lips as if to shush
someone. It is arguable that this posture in the Egyptian depiction
of Harpocrates might refer instead to childhood and thumb-sucking
(which, interestingly, was often linked to wisdom in ancient
cultures), so if that speaks to you more, you can try it.
