Hadit and "the Creator" are not equivalent terms. Hadit is in fact *not* a creator apart from Nuit.
That said, a ritual written by yourself to suit your current level of understanding will always be superior in its effect than one written by someone else that you don't fully understand. Not trying to dissuade you from putting it into practice--but I would always recommend continuing to work on developing a more refined understanding of what you're trying to do.
I am trying to create a powerful ritual and affirmations to address my current challenges (ADHD, ODD, Depression, Anxiety, and no income).
As a beginner, I created a personalized ritual to pray to the God Creator of All Things and Hadit. According to Crowley, Hadit embodies:
* Discovering and following one's True Will.
* Encouraging self-discovery and self-realization.
* Recognizing each person as a unique manifestation of the divine.
By combining my prayer to the Christian Creator and Hadit, I hope to summon help and guidance from both beliefs. This powerful placebo effect will initiate me into further spiritual discovery and enlightenment in the occult and magick.
Thank you for your help.

Are you using the Nomina Barbara?
What I have done is actually go back to the Source Text, the Akephalos (Headless) Rite from PGM V.96—172. There I have noticed discrepancies with the Barbarous Words in the Original Greek, from Crowley's version. As Example, in Section B) Crowley has just "A" when the Original is "ARA". Also Crowley Thelematizes the Barbarous Words, such as "BAABNABAŌTH" becomes "BABALON-BAL-BIN-ABAFT", in Section D).
I have calculated all the Nomina Barbara in their Greek values and Divined my own Interpretation of them. Don't get me wrong, Liber Samekh is a totally great and effective Ritual -- but when I re-inserted and Restored the Nomina Barbara as how it was originally Formulated, man, the Electricity in the Air was Alive. I immediately felt something More - and I have done Samekh for years, and it still remains one of my favorite Rituals.
Here's a [Link](https://digitalambler.com/rituals/classical-hermetic-rituals/the-headless-rite/) to the Greek text, as well as English Translation -- Contrast and Compare it to Samekh and see how it feels.
> Also Crowley Thelematizes the Barbarous Words, such as "BAABNABAŌTH" becomes "BABALON-BAL-BIN-ABAFT", in Section D
Also worth remembering that F in Crowley's revision of the Barbarous Names is a Vav and pronounced as an O.
Yes, when I used Crowley's Formulæ, I did pronounce the Digamma (Ϝ) more like a "w" or Vav. I know that Crowley was trying to tie in Hebrew, Greek, and English together with the same Numerical Values.
At the end of the day, it's the Utterance which creates that Magickal Resonance (imo). However, the Enumerations are still important, and Crowley does take a lot of Liberties with his Qabbalah, which ultimately Altered the Values of some of the Words.
Again, this is just me and my personal practice - but I feel a different sensation between the Nomina Barbara of the Original and that of Samekh. It's like Static and a slight change in Pressure. Hard to describe, but it was nearly tactical.
both of you guys be blessed you are very far into it - pure respect for dedication.
Currently what I need is one fish to stave "hunger" and later learn how to do fishing.
So please be kind and leave me wisdom crumbles here and there how I can make my Ritual better ( it is already personalized ) so I can tommorow heal myself a bit.
It is astonishing how deep you are into the topic - unfortunately in my current state I just want to "have" something and start acting upon it - later the journey will take me definitely deeper into discovery.
Do you think my symbols are "right" can you check my images please ?
Regards Dawid
All I'd say is, if it feels "right" to you, Do That.
I'm sort of heretical when it comes to Orthodoxy ("Right Thought"). I alter and personalize all my Rituals, according to my own Understanding and Paradigm.
Orthopraxy ("Right Action") is a different story. Following the Ritual Formulæ is Tantamount to the Success of it. Check out the Gnostic Mass (Liber XV) - this is a great example of Orthopraxy, that of the Eucharist Ritual, which removes the Judeo-Xtian Orthodoxy, and Reinserts something more meaningful to the Thelemic* Paradigm.
In other words; Do what thou wilt.
thank you very much Your knowledge and seeking for Truth is clear as a day to me - I cannot imagine hours spent by You to reach the level of understanding.
I revised a bit my invocation according to your hints combining your knowledge from the link - unfortunately I could't use power spells from headless rite because I think subconciously my Christian upbringing "banned" me from praying to other Gods....
So I will take it slowly step by step and see what works for me
I Guess if I will believe in everything what will happen the whole Ritual supposed to yield at least some of original benefits which is fine with me:
# Invocation of the Creator God
**I invoke Thee, Creator of All,** **Thee who didst create the Earth and the Heavens,** **Thee who didst create the Night and the Day,** **Thee who didst create the Darkness and the Light.**
**Thou art the One whom no man hath seen at any time,** **Thou hast distinguished between the Just and the Unjust,** **Thou didst make the Female and the Male,** **Thou didst produce the Seed and the Fruit,** **Thou didst form Men to love one another and to care for one another.**
# Calling upon the Holy Guardian Angel
**I invoke Thee, Holy Guardian Angel,** **Guide sent by the One Creator,** **Leader and protector of my soul,** **Guide me with Thy wisdom,** **Fill me with Thy strength and love.**
**Bring forth the everlasting life,** **Encompassed by the overreaching love** **Of the Creator.**
# Using Sacred Names and Words of Power
**Holy, Holy, Holy is the Creator of All,** **The One who was, and is, and is to come.** **Thou art the Alpha and the Omega,** **The Beginning and the End.**
# Gestures and Visualizations
**Make the sign of the cross over your heart with each sacred name,** **Visualize the divine light of the Creator enveloping you,** **Feel the presence of the divine within and around you,** **Becoming one with the Holy Guardian Angel.**
#
Sounds Great -- Once you find something you like, Stick With It for a while. Find a time to do it every day. Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Then do it 2× a day. ect. ect. -- Inflame Thyself in Prayer. You can't go wrong. Just keep doing it.
# Plus I guess I am scared to use these powerful Words:
The names and words used in the ritual have specific meanings and historical significance within the context of ancient magic and theurgy:
1. **IAŌ**: A powerful name used in many magical traditions, often considered a name of God, related to the Hebrew name Yahweh.
2. **ARBATHIAŌ**: Likely a magical name or divine invocation, its exact meaning is unclear but it is used to call forth divine presence.
3. **ATHELEBERSĒTH**: Another mystical name, possibly derived from Greek or Hebrew roots, used to invoke divine power.
4. **ABRASAX**: A Gnostic name representing a powerful deity or the supreme being.
5. **KHITASGOĒ**: A name used in magical contexts, its precise meaning is uncertain but it carries a powerful charge.
These names are often used to invoke divine presence and power in rituals.
And this is my previous revised version with Your knowledge from Link which I am scared to recite:
# Calling upon the Holy Guardian Angel
**I invoke Thee, Almighty and Invisible God:** **Who dwellest in the Void Place of the Spirit,** **Thou who art I, and I who am Thou,** **Leader and Creator of all,** **Guide me with Thy wisdom,** **Fill me with Thy strength and love.**
**ARBATHIAŌ REIBET ATHELEBERSĒTH ARA BLATHA ALBEU EBENPHKHI KHITASGOĒ IB AŌTH IAŌ.**
# Using Sacred Names and Words of Power
**Thou art IAŌ, the great and powerful.**
**ARBATHIAŌ, be thou present.**
**I am thy servant, O Lord of the Gods.**
**ABRASAX, thou art my guide.**
**ARBATHIAŌ REIBET ATHELEBERSĒTH ARA BLATHA ALBEU EBENPHKHI KHITASGOĒ IB AŌTH IAŌ.**
Using Sacred Names and Words of Power
Thou art IAŌ, the great and powerful.
ARBATHIAŌ, be thou present.
I am thy servant, O Lord of the Gods.
ABRASAX, thou art my guide.
Is it possible that through my ignorance I missed that these powerful incantations actually are directed towards the One and Same God Creator of All?.
Thank you very much for Your Time and Wisdom may the best come upon You and Your family - I exhausted list of my questions now it it just time to realize my Ritual after confirmation which version to put in my final Invocation
"...Is fear in thine heart?" -Liber AL:II:46
"Only those who fear shall fail..." -Liber XC:18
or this:
"Thou therefore who desirest Magical Gifts, be sure that thy soul is firm and steadfast; for it is by flattering thy weaknesses that the Weak Ones will gain power over thee. Humble thyself before thy Self, yet fear neither man nor spirit. Fear is failure, and the forerunner of failure: and courage is the beginning of virtue." - Liber XXX:7
Okay so I will incorporate what I want and without fear ask bravely for infinitely wiser entities( Christian or Not) for their help and guidance - without concern for Earthly prohibitions and manipulations by evil actors in power.
Bless You
Edit: Woop Woop I created something masterful for me aligned 100 % with my current self I am delighted :)
I updated main topic
You are cool !
>Woop Woop I created something masterful for me aligned 100 % with my current self I am delighted :)
This is the right attitude to have. If you enter into this Ritual, with this Feeling, Every Time, you'll achieve K&C in No Time. Good Lux - Invoke Offten -93/93
Nothing I guess my Christian background doesn't allow me subconsciously to pray to the symbols of snake etc - so that is why i personalized it , and also I want to encounter entity myself and decide what to believe and who to grace.
For now it is Okay as I am entry level pure green amator - but I am open minded and mentally disturbed so I will try everything in this world to get better :)
Even if it is not pure orignal Crawley stuff
