" As a form of prayer the invoking ritual should be used in the morning, the banishing in the evening. As a protection against impure magnetism, the Banishing ritual can be used to get rid of obsessing or disturbing thoughts. Give a mental image to your obsession and imagine it formulated before you. Project it out of your aura with the saluting sign of a Neophyte, and when it is about three feet away, prevent its return with the sign of silence. ( First Knowledge Lecture, Israel Regardie ) "
