Adoration of the Lord



This is a small ritual that i have created for myself, based on the traditional Golden Dawn ritual of the Adoration of the Lord of the Universe.
I mostly do it when having not enough time for a Greater Invocation ritual, but wanting a certain flair before proceeding with my daily Middle Pillar ritual.
It takes not more than five minutes.
It can be enlarged and deepened in many directions, e.g. I have combined it with the Bornless Ritual several times and found it quite strong and energetic, even without using regular pentagrams for invocation.



A.Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and if you like, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram. You can also perform a Purification with Water and Consecration with Fire to further prepare your temple space.

1. Go to the northeast corner of the room and circumambulate the Temple once in the course of the sun.

2. Go round another time but halt in the north.

3. Close your eyes and give the Sign of Osiris risen (by crossing your arms before your breast and slightly bowing your head).

4. Imagine yourself in the Godform of Nephthys, standing huge in the Universe.
