- Ritual of the Five Flames
- by Frater Almost
-
- Stand and face the east. Take several deep breaths energizing each
- in-going breath with the realization that this is what keeps us alive.
- Do likewise with each out-going breath and watch the impurities leave
- your body. When you are feeling very relaxed and very calm, begin as
- follows:
-
- Visualize to your left a Pillar of White Light. (If you have Temple
- pillars, stand between them) and to your right a Pillar of Darkness.
- Turn to your left and face the White Pillar. It is the Male force or
- Hadit. Continue after a few moments of contemplation and turn fully then
- to the Black Pillar. Contemplate it as Nuit or the Female force. Now,
- turning counter-clockwise, again face the East.
-
- Once you have fully established the pillars, visualize a bright,
- white or silvery-gold flame jetting up from your feet to the top of your
- head. Draw in your breath and feel the fire go down into your system.
- Vibrate the name "EHIEH" five times.
-
- Now, visualize the flame as a bluish-gray colour. Breahte in it's
- essence and vibrate the name "YHVH ELOHIM" five times.
-
- Now, see the light as a pure golden colour and do as above only
- using the name "YHVH EL-OH-AH V'DAATH."
-
- Now see the flame turn a dark purple-red colour and vibrate the name
- "SHADDAI EL-CHAI" five times.
-
- Now change the flame colour to a brownish-green and vibrate the name
- of "ADONAI MELEKH" five times.
-
- Once this has been done, turn the flame to a bright electric blue
- colour and try to feel it as a cool flame. Here, vibrate the word
- "AUMGN" five times and, with each repition, see each of the pillars grow
- llarger and more brilliant until they merge as one. Once this has been
- done, Breathe all of the flame into yourself and exhale it iinto the
- air. Stand in the sign of Harpocrates.
-
- This ritual is very unique in the sense that it breaks the Middle Pillar
- apart. The MP seeks to establish "power centers" within the body while
- this ritual seeks to deliver the energy of the Pillar of Beauty to every
- part of the body. It is also an excellent banishment before meditative
- work. It is completely self-contained and requires less time than the
- Middle Pillar.
