Peace,
I have memorized half of the prayer, but I would like to know exactly who/what energies I am invoking. I recognize a few of the names which are in Latin, as well as the Apostles of Jesus. However, there are a few other words that I am unclear about. Is it possible to find out the meaning/translation of the prayer? Are some of the words names of Angels? If so, which ones are they and what are they known for?
It seems that some of the prayers are quite powerful. For example the Conjugation of Solomon. I don't feel that I am at a level of understanding where I can recite this and know what the affects are. That being said, is something like this taught/explained at a certain level of knowledge and or understanding?
I am drawn to the prayers that I resonate/feel/understand and I guess that is because there are a few that I am familiar with from child-hood like the Apostles Creed, Pater Noster (The Our Father). While I never knew or heard of the prayer of St. Francis, I really like reading it, it's very tranquil, soothing and heart-felt.
* I am grateful for the selection of prayers and invocations in the book. They speak to many voices.
