Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

            The following provides a simple Ritual for Erecting Magickal Space, using a simple Thelemic Pentagram Formula, and speaks to the important Practice of casting Thy Magickal Circles thrice about.  For present purposes, there is no discussion of the Sephiroth assigned to the Quarters.  This Ritual may be used by the Childe of Earth, and will evolve as the Childe evolves and progresses along the Royal Road of Initiation.

 

·         Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram using the Thelemic Pentagram Formulae as a basis (Circle 1).

o       Place your Altar in the Center of where your Magick Circles will be cast.

o       Start at the Foot of the Altar (which, for the First Order, is west of the Altar facing east), hold the hands open touching at the finger tips above your head to create a crescent over your head with the hands and arms and say – “NUIT”.

o       Keep the finger tips touching, lower the hands to your Heart Center, and say - “HADIT”.

o       Make the Sign of Victory, separating the hands and raising them to heavens to form a “V” and say – “HERU-RA-HA”.

o       Lower the hands to praying position, and say – “AMEN”.

o       We now establish the Formula of the Sons of Horus within the Sphere.

§         Move to the eastern perimeter of your Circle, by the eastern Quarter Candle, trace a Banishing Earth Pentagram, and charge it by saying the Name – “AMESHET”, who is the Kerub of Earth, thereby assigning the element of Earth to this quarter.

§         Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magick Circle to the northern Quarter Candle, trace a Banishing Earth Pentagram and charge it by saying the Name – “AHEPHI”, who is the Kerub of Air, thereby assigning the element of Air to this quarter.

§         Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magick Circle to the western Quarter Candle, trace a Banishing Earth Pentagram and charge it by saying the Name – “ANUBI” or “DAUMUTEH”, who is the Kerub of Water, thereby assigning the element of Water to this quarter.

§         Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magick Circle to the southern Quarter Candle, trace a Banishing Earth Pentagram and charge it by saying the Name – “KABESHUNT”, who is the Kerub of Fire, thereby assigning the element of Fire to this quarter.

o       Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magick Circle, past the eastern Quarter Candle (completing Circle 1), and return to the Foot of the Altar.

o       At the Foot of the Altar, , stand in the Sign of the Cross (arms extended straight from shoulders, palms facing forward), and say:

§         Before me, the Holy Powers of the East.

§         Behind me, the Holy Powers of the West.

§         On my right hand, the Holy Powers of the South.

§         On my left hand, the Holy Powers of the North.

§         For about me Flames the Pentagram;

§         And in the Center Shines the Crowned Childe.

o       Again hold the hands open touching at the finger tips above your head to create a crescent over your head with the hands and arms and say – “NUIT”.

o       Keep the finger tips touching, lower the hands to your Heart Center, and say - “HADIT”.

o       Make the Sign of Victory, separating the hands and raising them to heavens to form a “V” and say – “HERU-RA-HA”.

o       Lower the hands to praying position as a humble Childe, and say – “AMEN”.

o       Declare – ABRAHADABRA!!!

 

·         Purify the Holy Space with the Holy Water. (Circle 2)

o       Start by breathing onto your Holy Water to move it into Action.

o       Then hold the Holy Water on high and say - “So, therefore, the Priest[ess] who governeth the Works of Fire must first sprinkle with the Lustral Water of the Loud, Resounding Sea.”

o       Move to the eastern perimeter of your Magick Circle with your Holy Water.

§         Make a Cross with the Holy Water. 

§         Sprinkle three times in the center thereof.

§         Hold your Holy Water in the center of the Cross.

§         Imagine the Waters of Creation, rushing from all directions in the direction you facing, to initiate the projection for the Purification.

o       Move widdershins to the northern perimeter of your Magick Circle projecting your Magick Circle as you do so.

§         Make the Cross and proceed as instructed when you were in the east.

o       Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magickal Circle, purifying each cardinal point in the west and south.

o       Move from the south to the eastern cardinal point along the perimeter of your Magick Circle (completing Circle 2).

o       Then return to the center of your Circle at the Foot of the Altar.

§         Trace a cross, and then a circle around the cross, on your forehead with the Holy Water, then sprinkle the chest and feet.

§         As you lift up from the feet, project onto your body the vertical bar of the cross, up to the shoulders.

§         Then on the body, trace a horizontal bar to the left shoulder and over to the right shoulder, and back to center by the neck.

§         Then trace the top portion of the vertical bar to the Crown.

§         Hold the Holy Water upon high and say – “I PURIFY WITH THE HOLY WATER”.

§         See the Waters of Creation swirl about your Sphere, purifying All within.

 

·         Consecrate the Holy Space with the Holy Fire. (Circle 3)

o       Hold your hands over your Holy Incense, and project a current into the Incense to move the Incense into Action.

o       Then pick-up the Holy Incense and hold the Holy Incense upon high saying - “And when all phantoms have vanished, thou shall see the Holy Formless Fire, that Fire which darts and flashes through the inner depths of the Universe; HEAR THOU THE VOICE OF FIRE.”

o       Move to the eastern perimeter of your Magick Circle with your Holy Incense.

§         Make a Cross with the Holy Incense. 

§         Wave the Holy Incense three times toward the center thereof.

§         Hold your Holy Incense in the center of the Cross.

§         Imagine the Fires of Creation, rushing from all directions in the direction you facing, to initiate the projection for the Consecration.

o       Move widdershins to the northern perimeter of your Magick Circle projecting your Magick Circle as you do so.

§         Make the Cross and proceed as instructed when you were in the east.

o       Move widdershins along the perimeter of your Magickal Circle, consecrating each cardinal point in the west and south.

o       Move from the south to the eastern cardinal point along the perimeter of your Magick Circle (completing the projection of Circle 3).

o       Then return to the center of your Circle at the Foot of the Altar.

§         Trace a cross, and then a circle around the cross, near your forehead with the Holy Incense, then wave it towards the chest and feet.

§         As you lift up from the feet, project onto your body the vertical bar of the cross, up to the shoulders.

§         Then on the body, trace a horizontal bar to the left shoulder and over to the right shoulder, and then back to center by the neck.

§         Then trace the top portion of the vertical bar to the Crown.

§         Hold the Holy Incense upon high and say – “I CONSECRATE WITH THE HOLY FIRE”.

§         See the Fires of Creation swirl and rush about your Sphere, consecrating All within.

 

·         Proceed with your other Magickal Work.

 

Love is the Law, Love under Will.
