I suppose that it would be best for me to a give a little context, in that case. I mainly drawing from the material of lodge magic from the late 19th century and the early 20st century. I mostly deal with Golden Dawn stuff, but the pdf that I shared has some material from the A.A. This tradition is distinct from the traditions of grimoire magic and natural magic which once thrived in Europe, although of course those traditions did influence lodge magic. From what I have observed, not many anons on /x/ are into ritual magic, hence my comment. I think that more occultists congregate on /fringe/ than on /x/.

First off, nice dubs. As to your question, the acronym HGA stands for Holy Guardian Angel. This entity is a sort of intermediary spirit that adepts often engage in communion with. HGAs are somewhat similar to the idea of "head spirits" that was present in antiquity; that is, a spirit that was literally bound to the head of the magician. The HGA provides you with spiritual guidance, teaches you some types of magic, and helps in binding demons. Many people do the Abramelin rite to get their HGA. The HGA is typically associated with adepthood. Also, it would be prudent to point out that the Godhead of the magician is sometimes associated with the HGA, but the two entities are distinct. The HGA is an independent being that is not tied to your own self. In fact, the HGA has its own ultimate Godhead, just as you do. Personally, I usually use the term Angel to refer to the soul, which is God. I just figured that I should clarify the matter, since it can be confusing to some individuals.
