in Saecula saeculorum A M E N.

The Chief Magus now rises from his knees, and takes the Spear from the
Altar.
----------------
C.M. Hail unto Thee, Ra Hoor Khuit, who art the Lord of the Aeon!
Be this consecrated Spear
A thing of cheer, a thing of fear!
Cheer to me who wield it! ---
My heart, its vigour shield it!
Fear to them who face it ---
Their force, let fear disgrace it!
Be a ray from the Most High,
A glance of His unsleeping eye!
Arm me, arm me, in the fray
That shall be fought this dreadful day!
He hands Spear to 2nd Magus to hold.
The Chief Magus takes the Sword.
C.M. Hail unto Thee, Ra Hoor Khuit, who art the Lord of the Aeon!
Be this consecrated Sword
Not abhorred before the Lord!
A guard of Steel, a tongue of flame
Writing in adamant His Name!
Puissant against the Hosts of Evil!
A mighty fence against the Devil!
A snake of lightning to destroy
Them that work Mischief and Annoy!
Arm me, arm me, in the fray
That shall be fought this dreadful day!
He hands Sword to 3rd Magus to hold.
The Chief Magus raises his hands above the Altar.
C.M. Hail unto Thee, Ra Hoor Khuit, who art the Lord of the Aeon!
Be this consecrated Altar
A sign of sure stability!
Will and Courage never falter,
Thought dissolve in Deity!
Let thy smile divinely curving,
Isis, bless our dark device!
Holy Hawk, our deed unswerving
Be thy favoured sacrifice!
Holy Khem, our vigour nerving,
We have paid the priestly price.
Hail, Ra Hoor, thy ray forth-rolling
Consecrate the instruments,
Thine Almighty power controlling
To the Event the day's events!
Arm me, arm me, in the fray
That shall be fought this dreadful day!
C.M. Takes Spear from 2nd M. and gives him the Censer and Torch; Sword
from 3rd M. and gives him the Cup, Book and Pen.
C.M. Goes to apex of triangle. The others support him at the base. He
takes the cord from the altar.
:Frater:
C.M. : : N! As thou art blindfolded save for that light and sight which
:Soror :
I can give thee, so do I now bind thee, so that thou mayst be for a
space subject to my will and mine alone. (Ties hands and feet.
Takes Spear from altar.) And since thou art without the circle in
the place of the triangle, with this Spear do I invoke upon thee the
protection of Ra Hoor Khuit, so that no force either of Heaven or of
Earth, or from under the earth, may act upon thee, save only that
force that I shall invoke within thee.
Bahlasti! Ompehda!
So then, I being armed and exalted to the Power of the Most High, place
upon thy head this drop of consecrated oil, so that the ray of
Godhead may illumine thee.
And I place this holy kiss upon thy neck, so that thy mind may be
favourable unto us, open to our words, sensible of the power of our
conjurations.
And with this burin do I draw from thy breast five drops of blood, so
that thy body may be the Temple of Mars.
Wherefore also I command thee to repeat after me:
I submit myself to thee and to this operation; I invoke the Powers of
Mars to manifest within me. (done)
:his:
(C.M. places about : : neck the Lamen of Mars.)
:her:
Magi return to circle, face east.
C.M. Now, Brethren, since we are about to engage in a Work of so great danger,
it is fitting that we make unto ourselves a fortress of defence in the
name of the Most High, Elohim. Frater Adjuvant Magus, I command thee to
purify the place with water.
(3rd M. sprinkles thrice around circle walking widdershins.)
C.M. Thus, therefore, first the Priest who governeth the works of Fire, must
sprinkle with the waters of the loud-resounding sea.
Frater Assistant Magus, I command thee to consecrate the place with Fire.
(2nd M. censes the circle thrice around, walking widdershins.)
C.M. So when all the phantoms are vanished, and through the Universe darts
and flashes that holy and formless Fire --- Hear Thou the Voice of
Fire!
(C.M. takes Sword.)
The Lord is my fortress and my deliverer; my God in whom I will trust.
I will walk upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the scorpion will
I tread under my feet.
Because he hath set his Love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known My Name.
(C.M. circumambulates thrice widdershins with sword.)
Hail unto Thee, Ra Hoor Khuit, who art the Lord of the Aeon!
Be this consecrated Tower
A place of power this fearful hour!
May the Names of God that gird us
Be our sign that he hath heard us!
By the five unsleeping Stars
Ward us from the wrath of Mars!
By the rood of God erect
Be He perfect to protect!
Arm me, arm me, in the fray
That shall be fought this dreadful day!
(He now conjures the Dog of Evil.)
Arise, Dog of Evil, that I may instruct thee in thy present duties.
In the name of Horus, I say unto thee, Arise.
Thou art imprisoned.
Confess thou that it is so.
I have done this in the name and in the might of Horus.
Except thou set thy face in my defence, thou art blind, and dumb, and
paralysed: but thou shalt hear the curses of thy Creator, and thou
shalt feel the torments of my avenging wrath.
Therefore be thou obedient unto me, as a guard against them that hate me.
Let thy jaws be terrible as the storm-parted sky.
Let thy face be as a whirlwind of wrath and fury against the enemy.
Arise, I say, and aid and guard me in this Work of Art.
O thou! whose head is of coal-black fire!
Thou, whose eyes are as columns of smoke and flame!
Thou, from whose nostrils goeth forth the breath of destruction!
Thou whose body is of iron and brass, bound with exceeding strength: girt
with the power of awful blind avenging force --- under my control, and
mine alone!
Thou, whose claws are as shafts of whirling steel to rip the very bowels
of my adversaries.
Thee, thee, I summon to mine aid!
In the name of Horus: rise: move: appear:
And aid and guard me in this Work of Art!
Rise, Dog of Evil, to guard the Abyss of Height!
Rise, I say, to guard the Four Quarters: the Abyss of the North; the
Abyss of the South; the Abyss of the East; the Abyss of the West.
Rise, I say, to guard the Abyss of the Great Deep.
Horus it is that hath given this commandment.
Be thou terrible against all them that hate me!
Be thou mighty to defend me from the Evil Ones!
At the confines of Matter: at the Threshold of the Invisible: be thou my
Watcher and my Guardian! Before the face of the Dwellers of the Abodes
of Night!
As a flaming sword turning every way to keep the gates of my Universe:
let thy teeth flash forth!
Nothing shall stop thee while thou settest thyself in my defence.
In the name of Horus: Rise, Move, and Appear: Be thou obedient unto me:
for I am the Master of the Forces of Matter: the Servant of the Same
thy God is my Name: true Worshipper of the Highest.
(Much incense is now burnt, and there is a pause.)
THE INVOCATIONS
When the Chief Magus is satisfied with the Descent of the God, let
all rise and let C.M. say:
So that Thy light is in me; and its red flame is as a sword in my hand to
push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to establish
thy way in all the quarters ... as it is said:
The light is mine; its rays consume
Me: I have made a secret door
Into the house of Ra and Tum,
Of Khephra, and of Ahathoor.
I am thy Theban, O Mentu,
The prophet Ankh-f-n-Khonsu!
And if he come not, let the Chief Magus and his assistants humble themselves mightily,
and repeat these holy invocations, even unto thrice.
And if still he be obdurate and disobedient unto the Words of Power, the Chief Magus
shall assume the dignity of Khem, and conjure him and curse him as his own ingenium
shall direct. Yet, if the rites have been duly performed, he will assuredly have manifested
before this.
And these will probably be the tokens of the manifestation:
A ruddy light will play about the form of the Material Basis; or even a
dark lustre beetle-brown or black. And the Face thereof will be
suffused with blood, and the Heart beat violently, and its words
will be swift and thick and violent. The voice thereof must be
entirely changed; it may grow deep and hoarse, or at least strained
and jerky, and it may be that it will suffer the torment of burning.
On the appearance of the Spirit much incense is thrown upon the Censer.
THE CHARGE
A M E N.
THE BENEDICTION
Now, O thou Spirit Bartzabel, since thou didst come at my behest and swear faith and
fealty unto me by the Lord of the Aeon,
I license thee to depart in peace with the blessing of the Lord until
such time as I have need of thee.
THE CLOSING
Let the Chief Magus perform the Banishing Ritual of Mars, give great Thanks
unto the Lord of the Aeon, and perform the Lesser Rituals of the
Pentagram and Hexagram.
