I am not sure, if I have understood the views of the original poster correctly, but if (s)he is attracted by Thelema , the new magical religion of Aleister Crowley (or if another reader is), the Star Ruby Ritual could be something to consider (I am not a Thelemite myself, but to each their own):
Switching to the Star Ruby is one possibility. But there are a couple of flies in that particular ointment.
Although Crowley described the Star Ruby as "
a new and more elaborate version of the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram", it is not a 1:1 equivalent to the
Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram. (Note that I have not said the L
BRP, which is merely a particular subset of the Lesser Ritual.) The LRP is capable of being adapted into various banishing/invoking and elemental forms. But this is not the case with the Star Ruby. The original intent behind that ritual is that it is a pure banishing ritual. (Likewise it's compliment, Liber 36, is purely an invocation.) Of course there's nothing stopping anyone from trying to adapt the Star Ruby to other purposes, but this does go against the tone and symbolic intent of the ritual which is 100% banishing.
In contrast to that the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram is more like a tool kit that you can do a lot of different things with. The Star Ruby, on the other hand, is a specific tool.
Another potential problem with the Star Ruby is that it
does not appear to be a direct replacement for the LBRP. This problem is compounded by the fact that Crowley never clearly defined this ritual. Neither is there any record that he ever performed it!
Over the years multiple commentators have presented various theories on what Crowley
may have intended the Star Ruby to represent. While many of these theories differ, there is general consensus that the ritual is
not a mere reworking of the LBRP dressed up in different names and imagery.
On top of that the two different versions of the Star Ruby present another problem. According to some the original
Book of Lies version is symbolically a pentagram ritual for Adepts. Unlike the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, which aims to establish the magician at the intersection of the Paths of Samekh and Peh, the
Book of Lies Star Ruby appears to start with the magician already in Tiphareth!
The second version that appeared in,
Magick in Theory and Practice, is a re-working of Liber XXV that Crowley performed around the same time he was working on Liber V vel Reguli. In the latter ritual Crowley distributed the elements around the circle in way that is different from the usual micro/macro schemes found in Golden Dawn rituals. Crowley '
appears' to have tried to adapt the Star Ruby to this new scheme, but the vocalizations of two of the quarters don't match up!
Some people think this is significant, while others think that this is an editorial mistake that Crowley failed to catch before MTP went to press. But there's more. One interesting point is that in Crowley's note book that contains his rough drafts for the revised Star Ruby, he experimented with multiple different placements of the elements around the circle, but the the position of the four guardians (Iungges, etc.) never changes once. One conclusion that has been drawn from this is that the four guardians were not intended to be elemental guardians in the same sense that the Archangels are in the LBRP.
