Rite for Yule (or) The Dormancy Rite

Meet at the point of the sun, night of the Winter's Solstice.

1: Wards Adamant, sub rosa nigra

2: Voice #1: "We are met this night to bid the Sun farewell, for such is our pleasure and our duty as Magicians of the Glyph. Ours is a task enjoined of our Will, and gladly do we labor for it's completion. We praise the names of those who have gone before us and who inspire our efforts in our own time--we praise the names of those who are yet to come."

3:Invocation of the Sun is given.

4: Invocation: "We would pass through the veil of the Shining Light to accomplish the works of Tipareth. With highest mind and with all our being we would raise our inward gaze to the divine vitality in the Sphere of the Sun, ever more clearly to know and to apprehend that effulgent glory."

5: Battery: 6 (becoming slower at each beat)

6: Invocation #2: "Shining 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, rature 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 we 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 we may partake in the wonder-working benificence of thy rays, open here the luminous gates of thy sphere!"

7: Voice #1: "We have given of the time of our lives and labor of our hands, our hearts and our minds that this Great and Sacred Construct of Tipareth, of Balance and of Harmony may live and dwell in it's full benificent force here in this place. We have walked the lines of Nature's palm, made oblations and given gifts unto the Temples of the Elder Gods, and this we will do again, for we are the Magicians of the Glyph in this day."

8: Reveal the Lesser Glyph

9: Voice: #2: "Through this, the 1st year of the Greater Glyph's awakening, this Lesser Glyph has stood as a symbol of the larger reality of our effort. As the Sun's life has dwindled (as all lives inevitably must), we bid farewell for a time. Farewell to the tides of seeding, growing and of havest!"

All: "Farewell!"

10: The Lesser Glyph is inverted.

11: Voice #2: "Welcome the Tempus Inversionis--the time of slumber, dreams and unknown potencies!"

All: "Welcome!"

12: Voice #1: "Hail, life enkindling Sun, child of creation's Lord. Oh, thou lone, all-seeing eye of the vault celestial, extend thy light that we may see but dim thy glory that we be not blinded. Unmask thy countenace, O' God of Light, that we may behold the golden splendour that lies at the heart of your being and ours! To thee we give our gratitude! Ever may the effulgent flame of Tipareth illumine the sanctuaries of the Glyph. Ever may it's reverberation in Zabul be heard, bestowing upon us the most sacred gifts of magickal dedication, the high ecstascies of Beauty and the true bounty of Harmony. Fare thee well in thy Slumber."

All: "Fare thee well."

13: Battery: 3-5-3
