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.
