(incl. Rite of Preparation)
SCRIPT: "Stand at the Center, facing East. Make the gesture 'ave' and formulate the ball of brilliant arc-like white light that is the Corona Flammae above the lot of us" "See the white brilliance stab forth into a slow spiral of light that encircles your own body, moving counterclockwise down to the Institia Splendens at your feet. A swirling, prismatic ball of light is formed at your insteps and the ground under them. You can feel a warm, yet exhilirating feeling of blessing, of grace being absorbed by your being and coming from this spiral of light, even as it now fades away. The brilliant Corona Flammae above remains, however." "Assuming the Orante gesture, turn 360 degrees in place, counterclockwise, formulating the shining wall of mist around you, white, flecked with gold. When you are done, fold your hands upon your breast, right over left." "Turn antisunwise to West, stamp right foot and give the banishing……………then fold the arms on the breast again, right over left." "Lower your arms and turn counterclockwise to the East. Again taking the Orante gesture, turn 360o in place, clockwise, formulating another wall, mist-blue, flecked with silver, weaving into and merging with the first. When you have completed the circle, fold your hands on your breast right over left, and let the awareness of the Corona Flammae recedes, while the wall remains." "THEE WE INVOKE, THE SECRET FLAME THAT ABIDETH IN HOLY AND LUMINOUS SILENCE. THEE, THE LIGHT OF THE GREAT GODS AND THE LIFE OF THE WORLDS. THEE, THE MIGHTY AND SHINING ONE, WHOSE SPIRIT FILLETH ALL THINGS AND WHOSE FIRE IS INVOKED IN EVERY SANCTUARY OF THE HEAVENS!" "Trace the Heptagram in the air before you, clockwise from top, each line to a chanted vowel in the 7-letter Sacred name of God" [Omega](O)...[upsilon](oo)...[Omicron](au)...[Iota](ee)...[Eta](ay)... [Epsilon](eh)...[Alpha](ah)...(An ascending scale approximating: F-G-A-B-C-D-E ). "Fold your arms upon your breast, left over right, reaffirming the Wards. Knowing all to be secure, let their vision fade, while even their presence lingers."

May I seek and find within my heart good counsel before the event: then, my plan of action decided, may I falter not. May the guardian powers of confidence and steadfastness be at all times with me, and in every-varying adventures of Art Magick may they bring my efforts to success. Fortitude and faithful endurance be mine, to wrest opposing events and conditions to good avail for advancement of the Great Work; or as I deem it the better course, mine be the courage and power to banish that which is adverse.

May my heart be filled with the royal freedom, the divine gladness of blue illimitable skies; and may that bright amplitude exalt my mind to share in its magnificence so that my whole being may be imbued, and may give forth again its high peace and sublime felicity. So may it be in the Name PANTOKRATOR." SATURN "Constant and unswerving be my progress in the holy mysteries! Though the further distance be veiled from my present vision, as in the pregnant darkness of an ancient shrine, still may I the more fervently aspire to that onward way. May my confidence endure and come to stronger growth beneath the holy face of that all-creative Night. May I reap in understanding the harvest of past action, and make a fresh sowing of the seeds of my experience. may my magickal will shine forth as a pure flame from that austere candle; and, in the immense silence of the transcended Time, may I learn awareness of my own heart's true and inward voice! So may it be, in the Name AIONAS KYRIOS. 9. Battery: 3-5-3

[dove Gray] AIONOS KYRIOS (x3) 4. Allow the ovoid to change its color to [............]. Hear the invocation of the sphere: LUNA "Stainless, most luminous, mighty one! Leader of night's holy enchantments! The brightness of thy triple countenance maddens the howlers of the wastelands: thy dominance speeds forth upon arrows, it rides the shining arrows of thy light. O thou who bringest to birth, thou who callest the dreamer forth to freedom! --thy presence and thy power here I invoke. O thou who art ruler of the orb of Levanah, thou regent of night whose palace of Garen ha-Saphir is paved with azure; thou whose heaven is the veil of the skies, the region of the silver and pearl, Tebel Vilun Shamaim; O thou divine guardian of the sacred treasure-house: now open within me the crystalline gates of thy sphere, that thy power may arise in my soul!" MERCURY "Multiple, dual, yet ever indivisible in unity: thou dost goest powerfully in light and in darkness! Subtle art thou as water, tenacious as fire. Thy power is a sure staff to the wayfarer and a crown of knowledge to the mage. Swift must be the words that call thee, swift but most trenchant!--a rushing wing is the language of this my invocation. O thou who art ruler of the orb of Kokab, thou protector and guide who dwellest in the grateful palace of Thushiah; thou whose chosen heaven is Reqia'a, the profound and splendid firmament itself: now let thine auspicious gaze rest upon my earnest explorations, and open within me the hidden gates of thy sphere, that thy power may arise in my soul." VENUS "Radiant and strong ally, victorious friend, swift healer and helper!--giver of gladness, bathing all beings in the light of thy golden eyes! Song and sweet laughter evoke thee, and thy glory calls forth song and sweet laughter again. Bestower of life, bestower of love, my heart and soul find ecstasy in thee! O thou who art ruler of the orb of Nogah, bestower of blessing and of rapture, who dwellest in thy palace of the celestial forest, the festive palace of Otz Shamaim; thou who in the languid heaven of misty Shecheqim shinest in brilliance: now, in love and in peace, open within me the kindly gates of thy Sphere, that thy power may arise in my soul!" SOL "Effulgent Prince of Day!--through thine all-giving and most potent gaze we are wrought of star-fire, and kin to the glories beyond the spheres. Thine is the measure of Time and thine to bestow are the gifts that outpass Time: delight of life, rapture of life renewed! Thou art the Love which illuminates our love and the beauty which shines forth in the beauty of every being. Thou art present in all: yet now above all and apart from all I invoke thy glorious power. O thou who art ruler of the orb of Shemesh, thou triumphant hero who dwellest in the delightsome palace of Ratzon; thou whose own heaven is many-hued Zabul, the wide region which is the resplendent dwelling of thy glory: now in thy great excellence, that I may partake in the wonder-working beneficence of thy rays, open within me the luminous gates of thy sphere, that thy power may arise in my soul!"

O thou who art ruler of the orb of Shabbathai, thou venerable one who dwellest in the most sacred place of Qadosh Qadoshim; thou whose domain is the vasty heaven of the glimmering plains, remote in Araboth: now in thine ever-heedful fidelity, that I may bring my labors on Earth to their full harvest, open within me the adamantine gates of thy sphere, that thy power may arise in my soul!" 5. Allow the ovoid to fade. A spiral of [............] colored light arises from institia splendens at your feet in a clockwise fashion to disappear above our heads. Maintaining this vibrant awareness, the divine name of the sphere is vibrated [.....] times.
(The appropriate colors for this part of the program are: 9=silver, 8=opalescence, 7=saffron, 6=gold, 5=fiery red, 4=white and 3=Grey.)
6. Insert recording of group vibration. 7. Now, allow the spiral to fade. In the next five or ten minutes, allow your mind to relax and become a blank slate upon which the invoked forces of the planetary sphere may write. Force nothing--relax and let all communication unfold in whatever way it might. If at first you perceive nothing, remain calm and patient until all have finished. 8. Musical selection, battery = 1 9. Dwelling with thought and memory upon what you have been given, make notes of the experience for five or so minutes. If the vision threatens to take more time in the telling, summarize it, then finish it in a few minutes, after the rite. 10. Five minute time gap, then battery = 1 11. Formulate again the [.........] ovoid. Hear the closing orison: Luna "Ever may the living flame of the First Heaven light my path; and may its reverberation in Tebel Vilun Shamaim, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the bounteous gifts of imagination and the true perception of the Foundation." Mercury "Ever may the Wondrous flame of the Second Heaven give wings to my mind; and may its reverberation in Reqia'a, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the precious gifts of magickal understanding and the illuminations of Splendor." Venus "Ever may the mystical flame of the Third Heaven inspire joy in my life; and may its reverberation in Shecheqim, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the abundant gifts of spiritual vitality and the celestial fire of Victory." Sol "Ever may the effulgent flame of the Fourth Heaven illumine the sanctuary of my heart; and may its reverberation in Zabul, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the most sacred gifts of magickal dedication and the high ecstasies of Beauty." Mars "Ever may the indomitable flame of the Fifth Heaven guard my life and my works; and may its reverberation in Ma-on, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the high gifts of magickal adventure and the unfailing confidence in Strength." Jupiter "Ever may the Beneficent flame of the sixth Heaven prosper my spiritual development; and may its reverberation in Makon, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the most excellent gifts of magnificence of spirit and the inner touchstone of Mercy." Saturn "Ever may the Undying Flame of the Seventh Heaven consecrate my upward progress with shining benediction; and may its reverberation in Araboth, arising within my soul, increasingly bestow upon me the wond'rous gifts of renewal in Time and beyond Time and the sure counsels of Understanding. 12. Allow the ovoid to fade, slowly. Battery: 3-5-3
