The Six-Rayed Star Prayer
September 29, 2017 | Frater S | 1 Comment
Recently, I started developing a very simple prayer and visualization while meditating on the Hermit
card and its principle symbol of the Lantern and the Hexagram. I originally just wanted this to be
something very straightforward for myself, but I gured that it wouldnt hurt to share either.
During my experiments in visualization exercises (for instance The Cordis Sanctae Ritual
(h ps://fraters.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/the-cordis-sanctae-ritual/) and The Triple Rung Ritual
(h ps://fraters.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/the-triple-rung-ritual/)), I have grown to really appreciate
the theory that etheric/astral forms can be charged easier through this type of exercise. I believe
Wildoak explained it quite succinctly that as we work to build these forms on the lower levels, they
can be charged with higher spiritual forces as we give them the vessels to embody.
https://fraters.wordpress.com/ 1/48
With this in mind, it occurred to me that the Golden Dawn magician spends an enormous amount of
time and eort in building these types of forms, especially in the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram.
However, while building the pentagram forms are continually reinforced with every practice of the
LRP, less a ention is given to the form of the Hexagram at the very center of the sacred space created
(in the column shines the six rayed star). Some argue that this hexagram gure should be fully
centered at the Tiphareth region, which then brings in the be er possibilities of an exercise like this
being a reinforcement of planting the full Tree of Life within the aura.
The exercise is very simple. The accompanying mantra used is as follows:
Purify me with sacred re. Baptize me in cleansing waters. Illuminate me with Your innite Light, Oh
Lord.
The visualization may be a simple golden hexagram, or a more hermetic version with a Fire triangle
and a Water triangle, with a golden yellow solar cross at the center. In fact, the mantra itself is
obviously reecting such symbolism. The visualization should proceed slowly with the upward Fire
triangle glowing warmly after the rst sentence, the Water triangle calmly owing after the second,
and the Solar Cross blazing brightly after the third. With the addition of the Cross, you should then
nish the visual with light lling the entire sphere of sensation.
Aside from the usual symbolism of the unication of opposites, the six rayed star visual places the
Hexagram at the center of balance and harmony within the aura and strengthens this Sephirothic
energy. This is also a strategic placement of symbol considering that in modern interpretations, the
Pentagram is usually a symbol of the Microcosm, and the Hexagram as the Macrocosm. This again
solidies and reinforces the idea that the Divine spark is ever present within the depths of our own
being, and this expresses a very personal relationship with Deity.
If one goes into practice with this exercise, it can be a direct connection to the invocation of Active
and Passive forces, with the two triangles, and Equilibrium, with the Cross.
As a side note, interestingly enough, I believe the same is done in a more subtle way by those
Masonic obediences that make use of the Rule as a third Great Light, laying across the middle of the
Square and Compasses as a mediator between two extremes of polar opposites. This has a further
correspondence between the three Mother Le ers of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, Mem, and Shin,
which are also indicative of Air, Water, and Fire. These le ers and associated elements also t quite
perfectly with the arrangement of the three cross bars of the Ari/Lurianic Tree of Life. All of these
things t rather nicely together as a set of correspondences that is hard for someone like me to ignore,
and the practical usage of theory in symbol becomes apparent. Freemasons of the Mark and/or Royal
Arch degree will nd something further to contemplate as the Keystone of our Arch is placed at the
Tiphareth center. This is however merely speculation on my part as I integrate the systems of
symbolism that I am familiar with.
Obviously, this and similar exercises can reinforce the LRP and MP (and full Tree vibration) rituals,
but is certainly not meant to be a replacement for such things.

The Passive Meditation and Active Invocation

of Tarot
August 29, 2017August 29, 2017 | Frater S | Leave a comment
A small group of practitioners and I have developed an approach towards integrating Tarot into our
lives, and it consists of a two-fold method that I feel compelled to share with all Tarot users and
magicians alike. It is not exactly groundbreaking, however this new series of lessons was aimed at
total beginners after all. The two approaches should be used in conjunction with each other for
maximum eect if you are looking to fully integrate the symbolism into practical manifestation. The
rst technique can be done with minimal preparation and could also last anywhere from 10 minutes
to a half an hour or so, if you feel so inclined.
Firstly, what we call the Passive Meditation method serves to sublimate the cards symbolism into
our consciousness, bleeding through the back doors of our minds, if you will, through a simple ritual
of creating sacred space (oratory prayers, LRP, circle-casting, or any other methods you deem
appropriate), assuming a comfortable position, staring at the chosen card via candlelight, and
memorizing its facets before closing ones eyes and re-creating the imagery in the minds eye with as
much detail as possible.
Do this by starting with the background, then the foreground and any central gures, then any minor
gures and details, including color, if you are able. Systematically assemble the entire card in your
mind, piece by piece, slowly and as closely as you can to the real card, and then hold this unied
image steady and study it for several moments, (keeping in mind youll be armed with the
explanatory study of its symbolism that you have done previously). If it helps to keep a checklist of
all the scenery to study beforehand, keep it close by as it may be a good memory trigger.
After you have sat and absorbed the symbolism as best as you are able within the completed
visualization in your mind, begin to slowly subtract the facets of the image before you, one by one,
until there is nothing left. This reversal is a second step to the Passive Meditation method and is also
an excellent technique for strengthening the memory. Contemplate the darkness for a moment and
clear your head, relax, open your eyes, and observe the tarot card before you briey in order to check
your memory and see how well you did.
Another easy way to reinforce the tarot symbolism would be to keep the card with you in your purse
or pocket as you go about your day. As an alternative, these days it is rather easy to also nd a high-
quality image of the card and set it as your phone background or lock screen. I do this, and for as
much as I use my phone per day, I might see the card many many times over the span of about a
week or two, which is how long Id recommend spending time with each card anyway, doing the
meditation ritual several times a week. Some people place the card underneath their pillow as they
sleep, though I usually just keep it propped upon my altar. Sometimes its benecial for meditation to
print out a large representation of the card with a frame for a nice centerpiece (those who subscribe to
the various occult a ributions may also decorate the altar with depictions of the associated Hebrew
le er or Elemental/Planetary/Zodiacal symbol for extra symbolism, though this may cause clu er,
and for some decks these symbols are already on the card design).
Others may nd it helpful to simply gaze at the card in the morning upon waking and/or at night
right before sleeping. The Passive Meditation method, or a simplication thereof, would be very
useful before bed as it may inuence your subconscious and your dreams more easily. At that point it
would be ideal to analyze your dreams for any associated symbolism or themes that seem related to
your card.
The point of all this is for the card to sink into your mind as deeply as possible. As you study the
Tarot, its meaning and application, youll begin to exercise your magical Will and start making
conscious decisions related to positive, active aspects of the card. The idea is to let the card penetrate
your mind and heart so that you begin to truly LIVE the meaning and not just study it from a theory
point of view, here we wish to bring them into the active realm and make them as practical as
possible.
Now, the cards can be used as vehicles with which their symbolism may be seen as a meta-sigil of
desires and goals. In this manner, using the second Active Invocation method, a more direct
approach may be taken in that you may invoke the qualities of the cards symbolism itself by
composing an invocation that seeks to directly channel the esoteric archetypal imagery and imbed it
into your mind, and by extension, the metaphysical aspects of the Will, which, in theory, would
develop and manifest into a magical outlet. This is where creative types have a lot of techniques to
choose from, and this section of the ritual may either be simple and direct or very complicated,
depending on your ritual taste.
One can formulate such an invocation in many ways, and here is where the correspondences of the
cards come in. For example, the Fool is, in many setups, a ributed to Air. By extension one could
then invoke the cards Divine forces (YHVH), its Archangelic forces (Raphael), and even the forces of
the Angel and Ruler as well (Chassan and Ariel), according to the Hierarchy of Air. This may be
overkill for many, but for those of the ceremonial magic crowd, this is standard practice to run down
a list of entities for a complete ritual invocation; however, it must be stated that such lengths are
denitely not necessary. I am merely brainstorming for the benet of the reader.
There is even a possibility of experimenting with taking up the actual physical posture of the cards
gures and creating the world of the cards scenery around you as a point-of-view creation on the
subtle levels. At this stage, if your visualization skill and symbolic memory is strong enough, you
might choose to interact in some way with the environment you have created around you. Those
familiar with both the Golden Dawn practices of Godforms and Pathworking will no doubt feel at
home with such ideas and may even be an expansion or extension of those ideas. Have a bit of fun
and experiment, feel free to share your ideas as well.
Then there is the ma er of the words of the invocation itself. Although I no longer subscribe to its
specic a ributes anymore, for those using the usual GD/BOTA arrangement of correspondences,
you can nd a goldmine of esoteric poetry in Paul Foster Cases Book of Tokens, that which links
the Trumps to the Hebrew Le ers and their accompanying Elemental/Planetary/Zodiacal
associations. These can be used to explore the symbolism of the cards in this capacity and is an
eloquent solution if you have no ideas for writing an invocation yourself. However, I still strongly
advise that at least a section of the invocation should be wri en by yourself. If you nd yourself stuck
at this juncture, there are many, many sources of Tarot Armations that you can search online for
that will serve this purpose wonderfully.
Using the correct sacred geometric pa erns associated with your cards a ribute can give you some
ideas for an altar set up, as will the corresponding colors for candles and scents of incense to burn, if
you plan to go the full nine yards. Elemental a ribute? Consider the design of a square or equal
armed cross in which to place your card in as a magical perimeter. Planetary? Consider a heptagram.
You get the idea folks.
Put simply, I treat the cards central gure as if it were a divine aspect of a pantheon, and I invoke
it through a formal address, and even present oerings to its ruling Divine and Angelic hierarchies
(see the Ciceros Tarot Talismans (h ps://www.amazon.com/Tarot-Talismans-Invoke-
Angels/dp/0738708712/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503979749&sr=8-1&keywords=tarot+talismans) for
a full and completely detailed list of angelic counterparts to each and every single Tarot card). For an
example of my rst a empt at this Active Invocation method, see the last section of my Mercury
Invocation (h ps://fraters.wordpress.com/2017/05/24/mercury-invocation-5242017/). The possibilities
and opportunities are endless here, but I would advise to start simply and directly for the best results
at rst, then gradually work your way up to more complicated rites if you choose.
Psalmistry Part 2
August 13, 2017August 13, 2017 | Frater S | Leave a comment

For examples on how to use the Psalms within magical ritual, and also to see my train of thought for
appropriating verses instead of only whole chapters, refer to the rst blog Ive wri en on Psalmistry
HERE (h ps://fraters.wordpress.com/2016/02/14/57/).
In this list of Psalm correspondences you will nd, unlike in most other lists out there, more direct
relations to the words used in the verses themselves, making more relevant appropriations, including
some metaphorical extrapolation that make for some strong magical opportunities. This list is far

from complete, but represents a limited example of how you can appropriate the Psalms towards the
many needs of life.
Where there are no verse indications, this means the entire chapter or at least most if not all of the
verses contained therein are generally applicable to the a ribute listed. In those instances you have a
lot of freedom to choose which verses resonate best with your goal, or just stick with reading the
entire chapter. Whats important here is emotionally resonating with the words used. When you
come across a Psalm (any scripture in general, really) that you do not understand either because of
lack of context or vocabulary, take some time to do a bit of research and you may end up resonating
with it more. If you still dont get excited about nding the perfect t in a book lled with endless
options, rest assured you can keep looking.
Thats why I made this list, because I found myself ge ing pre y excited about researching Psalms
for my meditations and rituals, and ended up enjoying the scriptures more, not just as a means to an
end. I hope those readers interested in using these will expand on what Ive done and make their own
appropriations, fashioning their own simple rituals, or learning more about how the scriptures can be
used to amp up your work. Those with further ideas are invited to share.
Some further notes on these correspondences; there are certainly some reoccurring themes that run
through the Psalms, most of them being prayers against enemies and praises to God. When using
those that deal with prayer against the a acks of enemies, one might think that this isnt applicable or
practical. But, if you think metaphorically, it is clear to see that we all have enemies; Vices and
imperfections. They assault us from all sides, every one of us; laziness, lust, greed, etc. A good
exercise is to read these types of Psalms and try to gure out how you can apply them to yourself
even if the subtle meanings may seem irrelevant to you at rst. I recommend Psalm 69 for this, it is a
powerful passage that includes many references to this theme, but there are numerous ones that can
be used in this way.
I have even listed a good deal of curses (!), as there is some hefty power behind some of these
chapters that sometimes deal wholly as Dear Lord, fuck up my enemies, badly! Some are even
moderately graphic (like Psalm 58, which features poison snakes, broken teeth, melting and cu ing
enemies, melting snails, and miscarriages), and while I make no endorsements for the use of black
magic per se, real enemies and real threats always exist and sometimes it is hard to sit idly by and let
people drag you down. So, theres that. No need to get into a discussion of magical ethics here, do as
ye will. Lets just be adults and recognize the much needed care that should be taken when accepting
responsibility for using these Psalms to curse/hex others.
Another thing about the Psalms is that there is a lot, a LOT, of chapters categorized by Worship and
Praise. This should give us a clue about the way we practice and pray; that maybe we should also
dedicate as much time in praise and thanksgiving as we do in ritual for when we need something.
The fact is, life will always be challenging, so there will always be problems to pray on, but for the
many blessings in life we also need to be thankful as well. This should keep us reecting on the issue
of balance. So take the time periodically to fashion a ritual of thanksgiving or praise when good
things happen, or even when they dont! If you cant nd things to be thankful for, or if you cant nd
the time to put together a ritual of thanksgiving, then, without trying to sound at all holier-than-thou,
you may need to prioritize and reassess your approach to working with Judeo-Christian magic.
Notice also that the Penitential Psalms, those of confession for mercy, are Psalms 6
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_6), 32 (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_32), 38
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_38), 51 (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_51), 102
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_102), 130 (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_130), and 143
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_143) (6, 31, 37, 50, 101, 129, and 142 in the Septuagint
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septuagint) numbering). However, there are more than just these
listed, many other chapters and verses have been listed as confessionals and for mercy, so keep a
lookout for these when you nd yourself needing some honest confession. Consider building a li le
ritual out of it if this suits you.

Tarot Prosperity Ritual
July 1, 2017 | Frater S | Leave a comment
It had been a while since I had done a short ritual to empower my Key talisman, so I gured it was
time to give it another go. This ritual set up is based on the previous one I used (you can read about
the Talisman Consecration using Invocation and the Tarot
(h ps://fraters.wordpress.com/2016/07/04/talisman-consecration-using-invocation-and-the-tarot/), it
will be a good place to start). The Key was a gift given me when I was ordained as a Porter, and Ive
been using it as a charm ever since.
As you could have guessed, this set up is aimed at the goal of prosperity, and is an advancement of
the ritual laid out in the Ciceros Tarot Talismans (h ps://www.amazon.com/Tarot-Talismans-Invoke-
Angels/dp/0738708712/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498432309&sr=8-1&keywords=tarot+talismans).
However, it doesnt have to be aimed at prosperity, and you can adapt it towards any goal you like
with 2 of your own Inuence cards and an Outcome card.
My version detailed here uses more props, so for anyone looking to use a simplication, you can
simply use 4 Tarot cards (in the case of a prosperity goal you can use a Signicator, Magician, Wheel
of Fortune, and Ace of Pentacles), a chosen charm/talisman, a black candle, and a white candle. The
arrangement would form a simple diamond shape and would look like this:
The rst card position is the signicator. Most use a Court card that represents themselves or their
current state of being or their current situation. In my ritual, shown below, it is at this point when
interacting with this card that I use a simple prayer to the Holy Guardian Angel (sourced from this
link (h p://home.earthlink.net/~xristos/GoldenDawn/augoeides.htm)). This is the beginning of the
driving force behind your Will and ultimate goal, and uses a white candle symbolizing the initiation
of this force.
The second and third card positions represent the dual forces that will inuence the change you wish
to make, the prime movers of the work itself. Being two positions, you may wish to assign the second
place to the Active force, and the third place to the Passive force of inuence.
The fourth card position is the Outcome, and uses a black candle for manifestation.
This is the most basic version of the layout and uses minimal props. The talisman can be anything
you wish, though I usually recommend something portable if you wish to use it as a daily charm.
Next Ill explain my version of the set up and detail the ritual. The card positions are the same but I
use a painted wooden Triangle in the middle of the diamond, both to represent the invocation of the
Supernal sephiroth, and also to symbolically contain the force invoked (ala the Golden Dawn), inside
of which is placed the charm.
The talisman I used was the aforementioned Key. This time around I threaded a purple ribbon
through it and tied 4 knots with it to reinforce Jupiterian associations; some extra prosperity
correspondences. With the two ends of the ribbon I placed them at the second and third card
positions, to symbolize the connections to the Active and Passive inuences.
My signicator card was the Prince of Wands, a gure that to me represents a youthful and creative
spirit but with a danger of often being too ery and runs the risk of often burning himself out in
many ways. Here at this position the White candle represents the initial force of the ideal goal and the
archetypal positive action of se ing oneself towards this goal.
The Active inuence card position that I chose was the Magician (Mercury, and by association Elohim
Tzavaot and Raphael). The Passive inuence card position was the Wheel of Fortune (Jupiter, and by
association El and Tzadqiel). Here we have an interplay between Mercurial and Jupiterian forces;
Mercury releases blockages and increases the natural ow of exchange, while Jupiter establishes
prosperous and generous ruling ability and the principle of expansion.
At the Outcome card position I used the Ace of Pentacles, representing material gain and prosperity
in the world of Assiah. This card also represents the purest Earth energy, and as such the Black
candle is even more appropriate, and I call upon Auriel here as the Archangel of Earth as the nal
invocation.
At this position I place the Ace of Pentacles upon my Earth Pantacle, which relates to the card chosen
as a force of Earth energy, bringing manifestation to the idealized goal, that which starts at the top of
the diamond with the signicator.
For my ritual I also use a Cup of salted water (Earth and Water) and a Censer (Fire and Air) for a
quick initial consecration of the talisman.
Here is what the layout looks like:
The ritual I used is pre y basic and loosely adapted from the Ciceros version with some additional
elements.
-Tarot Talisman Prosperity Ritual-
* Procul, O procul este, profani!
[Hold hand over talisman]
I exorcise thee, O Creature of [], that the blessing of God Almighty be upon thee, and let all
malignity and hindrance be cast forth hence from, and let all good enter herein. I cast out from Thee
all the impurities and uncleanness of the Spirits of the World of Phantasm in the name of Almighty
God, who liveth and reigneth unto the Ages of the Ages. Amen.
So therefore rst, the priest who governeth the works of Fire must sprinkle with the Lustral Water of
the loud resounding sea.
[Dip your nger into the Water Cup and trace a Cross above the talisman]
And when, after all the phantoms have vanished, thou shalt see that holy and formless Fire, that re
which darts and ashes through the hidden depths of the universe, hear thou the voice of Fire.
[Take the Censer and trace a Cross above the talisman]
[Vibrate the 3 Names of the Supernal Sephiroth]
EH-HEH-EH

monetary increase and nancial security so that I might free myself from the obstacles of the
mundane world, and thereby advance in the Great Work! I ask that this be done without bringing
any harm or strain of any kind upon anyone. May you bring the forces of exchange and expansion
into my life through this rite of the magic of Light.
From the Supernal Crown of the Divine

In the Name of the Lord do I now declare this rite nished. In the Worship of Holy Conformity and
Obedience to the Divine Will: Consummatum Est! *
Saturn Talisman Consecration 6/24/2017
June 25, 2017 | Frater S | Leave a comment
As some of my family members have found themselves in need to move to a new home in a relatively
short period of time, I found myself called to perform a ritual for them to nd one. They are crunched
for time and this poses an impending need that must be met soon. So here we are dealing with issues
of real estate exchange, the home, and even the immaterial concept of the boundary of time; all things
governed by Saturn.
Very recently, I had also made the choice to deviate from the astrological associations that the Golden
Dawn assigns to the Hebrew le ers. Ive spent some time reviewing the associations set forth from
the Sepher Ye irah HERE (h p://www.psyche.com/psyche/tarot/tarot_natural_order.html), and after
reading more about these conclusions I have decided to adopt those found as the listed majority. This
source also aligns the tarot associations along the lines of these conclusions which I also resonate with
strongly enough to dive right in a experiment with them.

Psyche.com
Oddly enough, I had planned on again invoking the essence of the Hebrew le er Bet (as I did in my
recent Mercury Invocation), as it not only represents the principle of the archetypal receptive
container and cosmic boundary, but it also of course simply means house. However, as I
researched the new list of aforementioned associations, I found, quite surprisingly, that Bet rules
Saturn. Everything seemed to be aligning perfectly.
So I gave myself a solid week to prepare, which would nicely end up being on a Saturday, which
would give me a time to do this comfortably upon the proper day of Saturn and in a Saturnian hour.
Luckily a local grocer sells colored candles and I got myself 3 large black ones. Since Myrrh is sacred
to Saturn energies, I grabbed my bag of incense and sorted out some to use (I quite like the smell of
it).
The Hourglass is also a Saturnian symbol, that of time and human life, as well as the Skull, and I
chose to display these upon the altar as a kind of tribute and a nod to the energies of Saturn. As an
esoteric Freemason, I had already spent a decent amount of time with the symbolism of the Chamber
of Reection (h p://www.esonet.com/News-le-article-sid-406.html) within both the context of the
Order of the Temple of the York Rite Commandery and also the Egyptian themed Rite of Memphis
(h p://www.themasonictrowel.com/ebooks/freemasonry/eb0020.pdf), where the Hourglass and other
symbols like the Scythe and Memento Mori are all part of a ritualized meditation upon mortality.
Interestingly enough, in this context, the CoR display and also the central Masonic theme of death is
an important symbol of rebirth, a chance for new beginnings. All of this seemed ing and
complementary for the various initiatory experiences Ive undergone, and I wouldnt be the rst to
realign and repurpose those deeply personal experiences towards a magical goal, being that these are
archetypal symbols that can connect ones will through the psychological impact they have made on
the mind.
In fact, I remember discussing with a group of esoteric Masons how the Chamber of Reection could
easily be a source for a unique solitary Masonic ritual, as such a thing could be used with great eect
as a regular meditation if one so desired. That being said, I resolved to reinforce the ritual with 3 days
after with my own version of a Solitary Chamber of Reection meditation. For these 3 days I will take
time out in the hours of Saturn to don my black robe and light a single candle with my hourglass and
skull libation cup in order to create a certain sacred space in which to petition Tzaphqiel to guide and
to give the proper magical drive behind the ritual.
I even found a suitable group of Psalms with which to use during the lighting of the 3 candles;
chapter 84 verses 1-4. These verses deal with nding solace in the House of the Lord, which I found
quite ing and desirable for my purpose.
Psalm 84:1-4, Biblegateway
I then decided that I would consecrate a talisman for this ritual. Luckily I had one made already for
another friend who would also eventually be looking for a new home. However since this was on a
more pressing time constraint, I could always make another one. So I took the unconsecrated
talisman and I realized that the back had yet to be painted with any design, so I painted a large Bet
upon it, with the sigil of Saturns Intelligence within it, that of Agiel. The front side was painted with
a triangle, and the Divine Name of Binah, YHVH Elohim, the Archangel, Tzaphqiel, and the Order of
Angels, the Aralim.
The ritual was constructed out of several sources. First I took the newest version of my talisman
consecration template and adapted it, plugging in the correct names and aspects to that of Saturn and
Binah and its corresponding hierarchy of entities and associated qualities. It was already heavily
inuenced by the 0=0 rituals of both the Golden Dawn and the FRC, but adapted accordingly. Those
familiar will recognize, as usual with me, that the Z2 Formula is highly useful in its capacity to
initiate a living force inside an otherwise passively inert or uncharged target. I also incorporated
several elements from my Mercury invocation as I found the format quite pleasing, most notably a
segmented circumambulation, broken into sections of lighting candles, the number of which
corresponds to the sacred geometry of the qabalistic/planetary association.
Since I was empowering a physical object with the essence of the Saturnian Hierarchy of Binah, I
made sure to draw the correct sigils and vibrate them accordingly during their invocation. Directly
after this was the Charge, where I give all the details necessary to carry out the task, which was of
course omi ed from this reproduction. Everything else is pre y straightforward and self-explanatory.
Here is a rundown of the ritual:

-SATURN TALISMAN CONSECRATION-
[The central altar is decorated with the gure of the Triangle, a black candle at each point, and with the Saturn
talisman placed in the center, wrapped in cloth. At the southern side of the altar there rests the Censer, and at
the Northern side there is the Water cup.]
* * * Procul, O procul este, profani!

The Lord is our Light and our help. In the Name of Him Who rescues us from the darkness and
unredeemed places, Invest our Portals, O Lord, and guard our Thresholds. Do Thou clothe us in Thy
grace and truth. The Light of the Supernals be upon us in the place of our devotion, and the Lord
Who was with us from the beginning, insure the end. As our Temples are guarded without, let the
heart be guarded within.
O Immanent and Transcendent Source and End of All, Lord of the Two Worlds, Thou hast set up Thy
holy signs in all the quarters of the heavens, a revelation of Eternal Mind unto the mind of man. Thou
dost speak to us by day and by night in Thy greater and lesser luminaries, Thy Suns and stars and
constellations. Grant, I beseech Thee, that the hidden grace and the Radiant Light which abide in the
Supernal Crown may be communicated to us. May whom Thou hast placed thereon dispense Thy
Light and Grace. May You illuminate the Path of Thy Mysteries, and may that Light lead us even
unto the a ainment of the Quintessence, the Stone of the Wise, the Wisdom which has its root in
Thee, and the Beatitude which is found in Thy Presence.
O Thou Who art from everlasting, Thou who hast created all things, and doth clothe Thyself with the
forces of Nature as a garment, by Thy Holy and Divine Name YHVH ELOHIM, whereby Thou art
known especially of the third emanation which I name Binah, the Sephirah of Supernal
Understanding, upon the pillar of Severity, and that which rules the forces of Shabbatai, Saturn.
Lord, we ask that you deign to bless and sanctify this oering, that it may be pleasing unto You and
Your Angels. As the Psalmist wrote: Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting
up of my hands as the evening sacrice.
[Ignite the incense]
[Hold hand over Water cup]
Sanctify us, O Lord, in Thy mercy, and bless this creature of Water, which I have here set apart to Thy
service, as an outward sign of graces that are communicated within.
So therefore rst, the priest who governeth the works of Fire must sprinkle with the Lustral Water of
the loud resounding sea.
[Bless Water Chalice/Aspergillum with Cross]
[Perform 3 water crosses in all quarters starting in East, South, West and North]
Waters of Understanding, Waters of the Great Sea, I have sanctied with water.
[Hold hand over Censer]
Sanctify us, O Lord, in Thy mercy, and bless this creature of Fire, which I have here set apart to Thy
service, as an outward sign of graces that are communicated within.
And when, after all the phantoms have vanished, thou shalt see that holy and formless Fire, that re
which darts and ashes through the hidden depths of the universe, hear thou the voice of Fire.
[Bless Censer with Cross]
[3 re crosses in all quarters starting with East, South, West, and North]
The Desire of the House of the Lord hath consumed me. I have sanctied with Fire. Stand about us in
Thy Holy place, O Lord, and keep us pure in Thy precincts.
[Return to West of the altar]
In the Name of the Lord, I declare that the Temple is now open.
***
Have mercy upon me, O God, and grant your blessing unto my operation. I stand before the presence
of the Almighty and before the messengers in His service, and I do declare myself, if it be the Will of
the Divine, and with the assistance of the Hierarchy of the Heavens, to hereby act as Co-creator,
Purier, Consecrator, and Initiator of the mundane into the spiritual. I wish to bond with Planetary
energies in order to empower this Creature of wood and to transform it into a genuine talisman of
a ractive power. Hear my prayers and guide my hand in this operation, O God, and I ask that your
blessing be upon my motives, search my heart for true intentions and see that I only wish to place my
trust in your hands in order to succeed.
Holy art Thou, Lord of the Universe. Holy art Thou, Whom Nature hath not formed. Holy art Thou,
the Vast and the Mighty One, Lord of the Light and of the Darkness.
[Hold hand over talisman]
I exorcise thee, O Creature of wood, that the blessing of God Almighty be upon thee, and let all
malignity and hindrance be cast forth hence from, and let all good enter herein. I cast out from Thee
all the impurities and uncleanness of the Spirits of the World of Phantasm in the name of Almighty
God, who liveth and reigneth unto the Ages of the Ages. Amen.
[Take talisman from altar]
The Voice of my Undying Soul and Secret Soul said unto me, Let me enter the Path of darkness and
peradventure, there shall I nd the Light. I am the only being in the abyss of Darkness; from an Abyss
of darkness came I forth ere my birth, from the Silence of a Primal Sleep. And the Voice of Ages said
unto my Soul: I am He who formulates in Darkness, the Light that shineth in Darkness, yet the
Darkness comprehendeth it not. Let the Mystic Circumambulation take place in the Path of
Darkness which leads unto the Light, with the Lamp of the Hidden Knowledge to guide us.
[Walk to North of Temple facing East]
The visible Sun is the dispenser of Light to the Earth. Let me therefore form a vortex in this chamber
that the invisible Sun of Spirit may shine therein from above. Let the white brilliance of the Divine
Spirit descend!
[Circumambulate the Temple clockwise three times, visualizing the descended Light traveling with you, stop
West of the altar and project this Light into the altars centerpiece via the Sign of the Enterer]
In the Name of the Lord of the Universe, who works in silence and whom naught but silence can
express, I declare that the Sun has arisen and the shadows ee away!
[Perform Sign of Silence]
[Cross talisman thrice with Water Chalice/Aspergillum]
In the Name of the Fountain of Living Water, which cleanses the Children of Earth, and the heart of
man, and the thought of man, and the will of man, I consecrate with Water.
[Cross talisman thrice with Censer]
In the Name of the Divine Desire, which transmutes the Life of Earth, and converts the heart of man,
and the thought of man, and the will of man, I consecrate with Fire.
[Approach the Western quarter of the Temple]
In order that I may pass in this mystic journey, I proclaim that Darkness is thy name, thou great one
of the Paths of the Shades. Before all things are the Chaos and the Darkness and the gates of the land
of Night. Thou art he whose name is Darkness. Thou art the Exorcist in the midst of the Exorcism. I
stand before thee without trepidation, for fear is failure, and I am without fear.
[Approach the Eastern quarter of the Temple]
Light dawning in the Darkness is thy Name, the Light of a Golden Dawn. After the formless Void
and the Darkness, then cometh the knowledge of the Light. Thou art that Light which arises in
Darkness. Unbalanced Power is the ebbing away of life. Unbalanced Mercy is weakness and the
fading out of the Will. Unbalanced Severity is cruelty and the barrenness of mind. Thou art the
wielder of the forces of Balance.
[Approach West of Altar, facing East, deposit talisman upon the altar, within the Triangle]
We have asked to be taken from the darkness, and with holy hands, lead us in the covert of holy
wings. Lord, change the form of our purpose, and we shall see the Spiritual Sun in the place of
knowledge.
Inheritor of a dying world, you are called to the living beauty. Wanderer in the wild darkness, you
are called to the gentle light. Child of Earth, long have you dwelt in darkness, quit the night and seek
the day!
[Unwrap the talisman and take several moments to visualize a large glowing White Triangle above it]
Hail unto the Spiritual Light, enkindling the desire of the eyes of the world.
[Take several moments to visualize a glowing Red Cross above the White Triangle]
So long as I am dedicated to a renewed purpose, may this potent and sublime symbol be a link to my
Higher Self, and as an aid in my search for the forces of the Light Divine forever.
Come in the Will of the Light; come in the Light of Purpose; come in the Mercy of the Light, for the
Light has healing in its Wings.
[Pause for meditation before proceeding]
In the Name of YHVH Elohim, TZAPHQIEL, a end our worship, ARALIM, join us in these holy
words.
[Begin with the segmented circumambulation, broken into 3 parts, so that the stations form a triangle around
the altar, while pausing to read the scriptures]
How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
[Light the Eastern candle]

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my esh crieth out for
the living God.
[Light the Southwestern candle]
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her
young, even Thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
[Light the Northwestern candle]
Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house: they will be still praising Thee. Selah.
Upon this altar is depicted the form of the Le er Bet, she that is Saturn, she that is the Great Mother
in the Sea of Binah, she that is the mighty Queen of Supernal Understanding of archetypal Form and
celestial Boundary. We therefore invoke the Hebrew le er Bet as the archetypal Shelter as cosmic
Dwelling, in its Saturnian aspect, as to dwell within and to make our very home the way of the Lord
and the joy of the service of righteousness.
[Trace the le er Bet in the four quarters starting in the East, then South, West, and North]
With this essence and in the name of the Lord God YHVH ELOHIM [draw sigil]
Do we plead with the Almighty to send the inuence of His great Archangel TZAPHQIEL [draw sigil]
And with the power of the Order of Angels ARALIM [draw sigil]
And with the guidance of the Intelligence AGIEL [draw sigil]
I hereby request this charge of the celestial realm to empower this talisman to help [Charge
omi ed]
Wherefore by these rites, these thoughts, words, actions, names, and images brought forth in this
ceremony, by the Will of the Supreme God and of my Higher Soul, do I conjure upon you the power
to carry out your work, and do I seal and bind in you my Will. You shall succeed in your task of
assisting me and prosper in your work until the task is nished.
Unto Thee sole wise, sole eternal, and sole merciful one, be praise and glory for ever. You who has
permi ed me, who now stands humbly before Thee, to enter thus far into the sanctuary of thy
Mysteries. Not unto me, Adonai, but unto Thy Name be the Glory, now and forever more. Let the
inuence of thy Divine Ones descend upon my head, and teach me the value of self-sacrice so that I
shrink not in the hour of trial. But that thus my name be wri en on high, and my Genius stand in the
presence of the Holy One. In that hour when the Son of Man is invoked before the Lord of Spirits and
his Name before the Ancient of Days.
Let the nal mystic circumambulation take place in the Path of Light.
[Circumambulate the Temple three times anti-clockwise, visualizing Light ascending from the altar and
dispersing from the surroundings. Stop In front of altar and face East]
The mystical reverse circumambulation is accomplished, lest the Light of Divinity called upon hereto
be profaned with mundane thoughts, words, and actions.
I declare this temple closed.

The Cordis Sanctae Ritual
June 18, 2017 | Frater S | 1 Comment

Ive decided to share one of our adjunct rituals publicly, an important one that focuses on
visualization, uses the Psalms, and incorporates some traditional Catholic prayers to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus. As you may have guessed, it is denitely a Christian-centered ritual and also the vibration of
the Pentagrammaton. Despite all of these diering elements, the ritual is actually quite simple.
[Credit also goes to Frater IEL and the work of the Ordo Lumen Christi for agreeing to let me publish
our ritual].
This meditative visualization should be done si ing down, back straight and cross-legged, and should
normally be preceded by the Lux Mundi Ritual [not yet publicly shared] or the LRP. In this context, one
has eectively set a perimeter for the ow of Astral Light within both the designated physical area
and the individuals Sphere of Sensation. The Cordis Sanctae Ritual then fully internalizes this raised
energy and focuses it directly into the heart center, assisted by the incantation of relevant Psalms and
the appropriate prayer armations.
Note the usage of the words such as we and us in the prayer sections, as collective humanity is
the Body of Christ, we are praying for all souls rather than just our own. The Psalms have their own
egregore built up over time and are quite eective even just by themselves, but they appropriately
further charge the visualization ritual, while the verses reect the subject of the heart.
Alternatively, this ritual may be condensed to a simple version consisting of only the posture and
visualizations, without the prayers or scriptures.
Begin with the Opening, Psalm 19:14;
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord,
my strength, and my redeemer.
As you begin to breathe regularly, visualize the Sacred Heart surrounding your entire body. Hold this image for
a few minutes and continue to monitor the breath circulation. Raise your hands towards the heavens and
embrace this encompassing Heart. As youve grown comfortable si ing inside the Heart with your hands
raised for several moments, read the following statement;
O Christ Jesus, Redeemer of the Human race; behold us prostrate most humbly before Your altar
in your presence. To You we belong; Yours we wish to be; and that we may be united to You more
closely, we dedicate ourselves each one of us today to Your most Sacred Heart.
The next step is to clasp your hands above your head, rmly enough but not a stress on the muscles or to be a
distraction from the visualization. Continue circulating the breath and begin imagining the Sacred Heart
growing smaller, about the size of a beach ball now, and oating within your hands above your head.
Read the purication Psalm 51:10;
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Hold the visual above your head for a minute and then read the next prayer section;
Praise to the Divine Heart, through which was brought to us salvation; glory and honor be to It
for ever. O Heart of Love, we put all our trust in You; for we fear all things from our own
weakness, but we hope for all things from Your goodness.
Next, bring your hands down and cross them over the breast, with the ngertips barely touching both shoulder
areas, covering your heart. At this time, in the rhythm of the breath, slowly shrink the visualization of the
Sacred Heart above you and bring it down into the head, the neck, and lastly resting in the chest area. Imagine
this warming your heart and surrounding bodily area. It is at this point where you will be breathing the deepest
out of the three phases.
Read Psalm 73:26;
My esh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Next is the last prayer section;
Most sweet Heart of Jesus Christ, grant that peace, the fruit of justice and charity, may reign
throughout the world. Amen.
After basking in the warmth of the Sacred Heart for several minutes with your hands still crossed, simply
intone the Pentagrammaton six times, surging the heart center with warmth. Use your ngers to keep count if
necessary. Take this time to vibrate the Word slowly, and also think of all the pain and suering of the world
that you are praying for. This section should take you out of your own world and place you in a state of
compassion for all that ails this universe.
YE-HE-SHU-AH x 6
Close with the same words of the Opening, and a Glory Be;
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord,
my strength, and my redeemer. Glory Be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.
The Triple Rung Ritual- A Qabalistic and

Elemental Exercise

This ritual is a practical meditation on the three rungs of the Qabalistic Ladder of Lights; the
crossbars of the Ari/Safed Tree of Life. It is both an activation of the Paths of Aleph, Mem, and Shin
within the Tree that is built within the Sphere of Sensation, and also a direct complement to the
modern Golden Dawn Middle Pillar Ritual. As such it is strongly recommended to perform this
directly after the Middle Pillar is nished. It can be performed either si ing down or standing up.
Embedded within are Psalm verses that correspond to the Elemental nature of the three Hebrew
Mother Le ers, and is thus also an invocation of their essence. The vibrations of the Le ers that
connect each rung will therefore complete the charging of the centers of the SoS that correspond with
the outer two Qabalistic pillars of Mercy and Severity. The combination of the Middle Pillar and
Triple Rung rituals will be an excellent precursor to Pathworking or Rising on the Planes exercises.
The order of the rungs that are activated may be reversed once one is familiar enough to rearrange its
aspects. The original order of the rungs, having rst invoked the Divine Names of the Middle Pillar
descending the Tree from top to bo om, are activated as ascending back up the Tree from bo om to
top.
As we have ended the Middle Pillar Ritual with the invocation of the Earthy Divine Name of
Malkuth, Adonai Ha-Are , and are thus now working our way back up the Tree, we begin with a
simple meditation upon the esoteric acronym of V.I.T.R.I.O.L., and its meaning should be well
recognized by occult practitioners of Alchemy and even certain circles of Freemasonry that use it in
the Chamber of Reection. In this context, we allow its use to be directed almost as a kind of
statement of intent to be connected to the Earth element.
That being said, as we commence with Earth and work our way up through the elements, the chosen
Elemental Psalm to begin is chapter 33 verse 8.
The Path of Mem, the rung bridging Hod with Ne ach, connects the mental energies of the Intellect
with the emotional energies of Desire. Its element is Water, and the Elemental Psalm chosen is
chapter 33 verse 7. This rung corresponds also to the region of the belly or the bowels.
The Path of Aleph, the rung bridging Geburah with Chesed, connects the aspects of
Severity/Contraction to the aspects of Mercy/Expansion. Its element is Air, and the Elemental Psalm
chosen is chapter 33 verse 6. This rung corresponds also to the region of the chest or the lungs.
The Path of Shin, the rung bridging Binah with Chokmah, connects the aspects of Archetypal
Understanding/Form to the aspects of Archetypal Wisdom/Force. Its element is Fire, and the
Elemental Psalm chosen is chapter 29 verse 7. This rung corresponds also to the region of the head or
the brain.
We nish o the ritual with the Psalm chapter 104 verse 30, and this relates directly to the Spirit of
God rejuvenating the Earth, or in this case, the circulation of higher energies throughout the body.
As you can see, through the activation of the three rungs, the three major centers of the body are also
aected and may therefore be useful as a balancing rite for those involved in healing work as well.
Most importantly, as a complement to the Middle Pillar, the other Sephiroth are activated through a
mystical use of the Psalms in order to provide a more advanced meditation upon the entire Tree. One
may also choose to vibrate the Divine Names of the associated Sephiroth if you wish.
The coupling of these two rituals illustrates a symbolic circulation of Divine energy, rstly that of the
Descent and manifestation of Creative energy becoming grounded in the realm of the Below through
the Middle Pillar, and secondly through the Ascent of aspiration towards Unity in the realm of the
Above. The entire process is therefore symbolic of mankinds Reintegration with the Divine Source,
both in Body and in Mind, but most importantly in that of the Spirit.
-The Triple Rung Ritual-
Visit the interior of the earth, and with rectication, you will nd the hidden stone. Let all the earth
fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Lord, rectify for us the gate of Splendor and Victory. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as
an heap: He layeth up the depth in storehouses. MEM.
[As you vibrate the Le er Mem, visualize the blue rung of the Tree being illuminated across your stomach]
Lord, rectify for us the gate of Mercy and Severity. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. ALEPH.
[As you vibrate the Le er Aleph, visualize the yellow rung of the Tree being illuminated across your chest]
Lord, rectify for us the gate of Understanding and Wisdom. The voice of the Lord divideth the
ames of re. SHIN.
[As you vibrate the Le er Shin, visualize the red rung of the Tree being illuminated across your head]
Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created: and Thou renewest the face of the earth.
As you nish the ritual, it may be wise to perform the Circulation of the Body of Light
(h p://www.alchemylab.com/circulation_of_the_light.htm) or some simple meditative breathing
work like the Four-Fold Breath (h ps://www.llewellyn.com/encyclopedia/term/Four-Fold+Breath).
