Ecosophia abbreviations

Here's what I can contribute:

| Abbreviation | Meaning | Type Ritual | System |
|--------------+------------------------------------------+--------------------------+---------------------------------|
| LBRH | Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram | More Advanced Banishing? | Golden Dawn |
| DA | Dolmen Arch | Book | Druid |
| OPW | Occult Philosophy Workbook | Book | Golden Section Fellowship/Druid |
| MOE | Modern Order of Essenes | Organization | Universal Gnostic Church |
| LRP | Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram | Basic Invoking/Banishing | Golden Dawn |
| LBRP | Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram | Basic Banishing | Golden Dawn |
| LRM | Learning Ritual Magic | Book | Golden Dawn |
| PoW | Paths of Wisdom | Book | Golden Dawn |
| SOP | Sphere of Protection | Invoking + Banishing | Druid/Golden Section Fellowship |

Dunno about the LBRC, though, but I'd assume it's a higher-level Golden Dawn ritual.

1) since "Middle Pillar" has shown up, this is obviously not (only) about GSF work, so thread moved.
2) that said, thanks for this, and I do want it to be more widely accessible when fuller, but by the time this seems ready for wider sharing, let's please put the acronym list in someone's Dreamwidth blog and link to that instead of here (I want this content accessible, but currently would prefer that not anyone with an extremely basic question *about something else* be pointed here; also, I want to volunteer thinkingturtle for the obvious reason, but will put it in my own blog should they not want to put it in theirs).
3) there will be more, and I'm using a glossary format; we can brawl about the format if relevant when we're closer to completion.

Kek! Do you happen to know of any modification I could make to the message board to allow this to work right?

Jeff: OSA definition corrected; on the DA, how about "early-20th-century USian occultism course with AODA characteristics"? (If you'd like to suggest a description of about that length, go ahead.)

The Middle Pillar is from the Golden Dawn tradition.
