THE LUNAR RITE Commentary This Lunar Rite is an invocation of one's personal eroticism and sexual charisma. Although it is not designed to attract a specific partner it allows practice with the Moon Glance, a technique for communicating sexual desire and invitation through the eyes and lips. Virtually all sexual liaisons are initiated through eye contact and by smiling. Participants should prepare themselves as attractively as possible for the ritual; even the birds and beasts of the wildwood are not without their mating displays and plumage. The Enochian Invocation necessarily incorporates some ribald phraseology. The true function of most taboos surrounding sexuality and clothing is to stimulate eroticism at times when they are deliberately relaxed or broken. Our hypertrophied sexuality which exceeds that of all other species, arises in direct proportion to the apparent cultural obstacles to it's expression, thus revealing the actual function of such apparent obstacles. Intelligent beings require, amongst other things, elements of surprise, excitement, and taboo violation to exploit their sexuality to the limit of what it has to offer. The Moon Glance begins with an eyes closed visualization of a crescent moon embedded in the head behind the eyes, with the horns of the moon projecting like ears, viz: The eyes are then opened and lunar radiance is visualized projected from them. This is usually accompanied by an involuntary smile. During the rite it is customary to practice projecting the glance into empty space. During seduction it is of course used with full eye contact. THE LUNAR RITE 1. Preparation: Participants may decorate themselves with silver jewelry and if desired any clothing they consider erotic. Mild doses of disinhibitory agents may be employed. 2. Statement of Intent: "It is our will to invoke sex force and attraction." 3. The "U" mantra is delivered for nine complete exhalations whilst visualizing power building up in the groin area. 4. Participants visualize private sexual fantasies. 5. The Enochian Invocation to the Moon is delivered. Fantasies may continue. 6. The Moon Dance: Participants dance on the spot in a sensual, suggestive and inviting fashion whilst stroking and caressing themselves at will. Participants dance mainly with closed eyes, opening them occasionally to project the Moon Glance. 7. The Enochian Invocation is repeated. Participants may continue with any mixture of the Moon Dance, "U" mantra, fantasies, and Moon Glance of their choice. 8. The rite is concluded with Laughter Banishing or by any other desired means.

THE MERCURY RITE Introduction The various gods of the mercurial archetype, Thoth, Hermes, and the roman Mercury himself are representations of the prototypical magician and trickster. This archetype is classically associated with writing, speech, learning, fleetness of thought, and intellect. Mercury is thus the patron of businessmen, doctors, thieves, mathematicians, gamblers, confidence tricksters, academics, writers, scientists, and magicians. However, many magicians tend to neglect direct work with this form of consciousness, presumably because they feel it is adequately represented as a factor in all thier work. When rites of an overtly mercurial nature are performed it is usually as a prelude to divination of some kind. Yet since the root quality of the archetype is intellect in the sense of fleetness of thought rather than wisdom, whatever that may be, a truly protean mercurial invocation should have as it's primary objective "increase of intelligence". Conventional education, with it's emphasis on acquisition of knowledge and concrete techniques only manages to convey thinking skills by accident and most people emerge from it every bit as dull as they entered. The basic trick of fast effective thinking is, paradoxically enough, not to think about thinking. Rather, one must acquire the habit of letting thought gush forth spontaneously without cumbersome deliberation. Naturally the tools of thought, such as a store of memories, ideas, and words, must already be present; but to use them effectively a certain automatism is required if you want to surprise yourself with creativity. Most people can throw and catch a ball; actions which require tremendously complex calculations in curved four dementional spacetime yet, yet this is experienced as easy. Conscious deliberation however, reduces this task to near impossibilty. The trick of not thinking about thinking is basically the same trick or "slieght of mind" that is used in magic generally. One must cultivate that state of no-mind from which pre-verbal thought, then verbal thought, and then speech leap out in an unbroken, inspired sequence. Most, if not all, brilliant ideas arise when the thinker, having exhausted the possibilities of conscious deliberation, sinks into partial vacuity and relaxation and astounds hirself with a sudden insight. One of the reasons that conversation with another is often so much more effective than solitary thought is that the periods of listening force interludes of comparative passive vacuity upon the listener. The following Mercury Rite is designed to implant and trigger the technique of allowing automatic thought through no-mind. After the preparatory steps and the first invocation, gnosis is deepened by the cry of a brief Enochian refrain followed by the "I" mantra for one complete exhalation. Participants then mentally add up one column or rank from a large representation of the magic square or "kamea" of Mercury, seeking to effortlessly allow the numbers to fall together to a total of 260. Participants then fold their palms, representing the tips of the wings of the caduceus over their eyes (which they close), and seek total mental vacuity for a few seconds before the Enochian refrain begins again to signal a return to the outstreched caduceus posture and work on the next set of numbers. This should be performed eight times as a minimum although sequences of 16 or 32 additions can be performed by beginning with any of the outer numbers and adding towards the opposite side of the magic square. THE MERCURY RITE 1. Preparation: A large representation of the magic square (kamea) of Mercury should be prepared and displayed prominately. Participants may take moderate doses of stimulants if desired. Hallucinogens should be avoided. 2. Statement of Intent: IT IS OUR WILL TO INVOKE MERCURIAL CONSCIOUSNESS FOR INCREASE OF INTELLIGENCE. 3. Eight loud notes may be played on some instrument. 4. Participants adopt the Caduceus Posture whilst visualizing themselves as a living caduceus as the first Invocation is delivered. 5. The Enochian Refrain is delivered: Z O D A C A R E ! V A P A H C A B Z O D O N G M A N I N M A L P I R G E S A L B R O X G M I C A L Z O M A A N A N A E L . 6. The "I" mantra is performed for one complete exhalation. A column or rank of numbers is added mentally to 260. The 'wings' are folded with tips covering the eyes for a few moments of complete no- mind. The wings are then unfolded and steps 5. and 6. are repeated for a prearranged number of times. 7. The second Invocation is delivered with participants in the Caduceus Posture, eyes closed, and visualizing themselves as a caduceus with entwined serpents. 8. Laughter banishing and/or Gnostic or other banishing ritual to close. The First Invocation WE WHO WOULD LIVE BY OUR WITS AND INTELLECT WE INVOKE THEE, THOU QUICKSILVER OF THE MIND MERCURIUS!

THE VENUS RITE Commentary To be attractive to another person one must offer them something which is a reflection of part of their self. If the offer becomes reciprocal then it can lead to that mutual sense of completion which is most readily celebrated by physical intimacy. In most cultures it is conventional for the male to display a tough public exterior and for the female to display a soft exterior in public, whilst in a sexual encounter each will seek to reveal the concealed factors; the male will seek to show that he can be compassionate and vulnerable as well as powerful, and the female seeks to display the inner strength and personality behind the outward signs and signals of passive receptivity. Incomplete personalities, such as those which are machismo to the core, or consist of nothing but the polar opposite of this, are never sexually attractive to anyone except in the most transient sense. Thus the philosophers of love have come to identify a certain androgyny in either sex as an important component of attraction. Some have taken the poetic license to express the quaint ideal that the male has a female soul and the female a male one. This reflects the truism that to be attractive to others you must first become attractive to yourself. The following meditation which may be read aloud in group work or played as a sound recording for personal use is designed to evoke an appreciation of one's personal androgynous strength and beauty. THE VENUS RITE A Pathworking 0. Begin this meditation in a comfortable position, lying down. Breathe deeply and evenly for a few moments. 1. Statement of Intent: It is our will to achieve Androgynous Consciousness and Attractiveness. 2. Now come for a walk in the starlit woods for a little psychic alchemy... Open your astral eyes and find yourself in a starlit, leafy glade. It is a balmy warm night and the evening star peeks between the leaves and boughs of the trees. Arise and visualize yourself walking down an avenue between the trees in the woods. The night is still and heavy with the scent of jasmine blossom. You enter a small clearing lit by silvery starlight. Standing in its center is a perfect living copy of yourself waiting for you. Approach yourself as you would a lover. 3. Put your hands on your lover's shoulders and kiss their lips. Embrace and hug your lover to your body. Feel your lover's body pressed close to your own. Remove your lover's upper garments. Caress your lover's shoulders. Stroke your lover's back and Stoop to kiss their breast. Sink to your knees and remove your lover's lower garments. Caress your lover's thighs and buttocks. Kiss your lover between their legs. Slide your hands down your lover's legs and Kiss their knees. Continue to their feet, and kiss them also. Gaze upward into your lover's eyes and think to them, "With the fivefold kiss I worship thee, for thou art beautiful and pleasing to my sight." Stand and look at your lover and think to them, "I worship the god and goddess within you." Bow low to bid your lover good-bye. Continue down the starlit path, out the other side of the clearing. 4. You enter a second clearing, and standing in it's center in the starlight is your perfect partner, your ultimate fantasy lover. 3. Put your hands on your lover's shoulders and kiss their lips. Embrace and hug your lover to your body. Feel your lover's body pressed close to your own. Remove your lover's upper garments. Caress your lover's shoulders. Stroke your lover's back and Stoop to kiss their breast. Sink to your knees and remove your lover's lower garments. Caress your lover's thighs and buttocks. Kiss your lover between their legs. Slide your hands down your lover's legs and Kiss their knees. Continue to their feet, and kiss them also. Gaze upward into your lover's eyes and think to them, "With the fivefold kiss I worship thee, for thou art beautiful and pleasing to my sight." Stand and look at your lover and think to them, "I worship the god and goddess within you." Bow low to bid your lover good-bye. Continue down the starlit path, out the other side of the clearing. 5. As you walk towards the next clearing you become aware that you have become strangely transformed. Look down at yourself, you are now naked and your body and personality have been changed into those of your fantasy lover. As you take the last few steps towards the third clearing feel the differences in yourself now that you have become the image of all you desired. You enter a small clearing and standing in it's center is a perfect living copy of your original self waiting for you. Approach yourself as you would a lover. 3. again. 6. Lie down on the path, close your astral eyes and review for a few moments what you have experienced. In a few moments you will find yourself returned to the temple fully clothed. 7. This Venusian pathworking is at an end. THE SOLAR RITE Introduction The function of Solar god forms is to encapsulate the ideal psychological profile of a balanced, powerful yet benign, incarnate consciousness walking the earth to do its will triumphantly with a calm and centered self assurance. In short they represent an ideal to which most people aspire but fail to achieve for most of their time. Solar consciousness is an excellent vehicle for the magician when he is not committed to the expression of other of his selves. Solar consciousness melds well with all the other forms of planetary consciousness except that of Saturn, the most distant of the classical planet from the Sun. The purpose of the Solar Rite is threefold: 1) It is an invocation of the attributes of Solar Consciousness. 2) It establishes a gesture as a trigger for future egress into the godform and 3) Provides a facility for the making of an oath or resolution to be fulfilled whilst in Solar Consciousness. The trigger gesture can be a simple procedure such as transferring a ring to a different finger. The oath or resolution should relate to a change of behavior during Solar Consciousness. THE SOLAR RITE Materials: Alpha (α) rate sound and/or strobe, and Yellow Illumination incense. Purpose: To establish an alternative solar personality or consciousness. To take some oath or resolution therein. To establish some gesture as a trigger for the above. Statement of Intent: It is our will to invoke Solar Consciousness and to trigger it with these gestures. Opening: Six conch (or other instrument) blasts. Meditation to alpha state assisted by sound and/or strobe to empty mind; sporadic laughter at will. The Proclamation: "The Gods of the Sun" recited. The Invocation: "A" mantra after each line, visualizing yellow radiance. Designs drawn on breast (as per note) following the line. The Closing: Resolutions and Laughter Banishing. THE PROCLAMATION "The Gods of the Sun" THE GODS OF THE SUN HAVE A PROUD SELF CONFIDENCE THE GODS OF THE SUN SEE THE BEST IN ALL THINGS THE GODS OF THE SUN ARE RELAXED AND BENIGN THE GODS OF THE SUN HAVE THE PLAYFULNESS OF A CHILD THE GODS OF THE SUN SMILE AT ADVERSITY, AND LAUGH AT DEFEAT THE GODS OF THE SUN ARE CENTERED, POWERFUL, AND CALM.

The techniques of money magic have often been neglected by occultists as somehow unspiritual or demeaning. Presumably they lack the imagination to appreciate how much skillfully used wealth could facilitate their spiritual projects. I am always suspicious of so called magicians who cannot afford to eat properly. Money has acquired all the characteristics of a spiritual being. It is intangible; coinage, notes, and electronic numbers are not money, they are merely representations of something which economists cannot satisfactorily define. Yet although it is intangible it has powerful effects on reality; it makes things happen. Money has it's idiosyncratic tastes, it avoids those who blaspheme it or treat it badly and flows to those who offer it due respect and worship. A business suit is one of the forms of ritual dress used in it's invocation. One can dress to please money. Put in a suitable environment money will even reproduce itself. The nature of the money spirit is movement, money lives only in motion, if it is hoarded and not used it slowly dies. To attain money consciousness one must make oneself a channel for money, a conduit through which the power of money flows unobstructed in ever mounting volume. Turnover is more pleasing to money than assets, all money which is surplus to pleasure must be reinvested as a further invocation. The truly money conscious will find that even their pleasures make money for them. Money consciousness gets paid to enjoy itself. Those in money consciousness are by nature generous; offer them an investment and they will offer you a fortune, just don't ask for small cash handouts! The following Jupiterian ritual functions as an exorcism of money fears, an invocation of money consciousness, and a consecration of a jupiterian pentacle which is to be consumed prior to any venture to increase one's turnover. THE JUPITER RITE 0. Initial Preparation: Individual sheets of orange paper listing fears, dislikes, and reservations about money. Blue squares of paper to create pentacles at the proper moment. Participants sit in square. Magister Templi and sack of money in center. 1. Statement of Intent: It is our will to invoke jupiterian money consciousness and to consecrate a single use consumable pentacle for success with money. 2. Four blasts on conch (or other instrument); one to each quarter. 3. Participants at each quarter cast orange paper into brazier and return to their places. 4. Exorcism: a. The Magister Templi lights the brazier whilst shouting "Apo Pantos Kakodaimonos" b. All participants shout "Out Demons Out" four times at the flames. 5. All prepare blue pentacles and place in center. 6. The Money Invocation: Recited by the Magister Templi. 7. The Individual Invocation: Recited by the Magister Templi after the Money Invocation then repeated by all as the money is passed around the square. 8. The Litany: Continued by the Magister Templi as money is passed, and finally returned to the center. 9. The Jupiter Posture: With eyes closed, visualize Blue Energy and emote a sense of lordliness and power. Begin the mantra EMURT INUM at the rate of four times on each long exhalation; do sixteen times. 10. Four blasts on the conch and Laughter to close. Informally retrieve one's own pentacle. MONEY INVOCATION MONEY IS ONLY EVIL WHEN IT IS NOT MOVING MONEY IS A SPIRIT OF MOVEMENT FOR THE NATURE OF MONEY HAS CHANGED FROM LAND TO GOLD TO PAPER TO PLASTIC TO PURE NUMBER I TELL YOU THIS MONEY IS NOW OF THE NATURE OF AIR, NOT EARTH MONEY IS A SPIRIT OF HUMAN CREATION LIKE ANY GOD OR DEMON IT IS A LIVING BEING WITH IT'S OWN LOVES, HATES, FEARS, AND DESIRES MONEY LOVES TO MOVE FOR ONLY IN MOVEMENT CAN IT REPRODUCE ITSELF WHEN IT IS HOARDED IT SLOWLY DIES BUT WHEN MONEY MOVES IT IS HAVING SEX FOR MONEY TO LOVE US WE MUST BECOME CHANNELS FOR ITS MOVEMENT INVEST IN US, O MONEY AND WE WILL GIVE YOU LIFE WE WILL SHOW YOU A GOOD TIME MONEY WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR WORKING INVEST IN US THAT WE MAY BECOME GREAT CHANNELS FOR YOUR POWER INVEST IN US, O MONEY AND WE YOUR WORSHIPPERS WILL GIVE YOU LIFE!

To put oneself in a position where one is forced to give battle is frequently to invoke defeat. Rather it is better to defend one's chosen ground with tactics chosen to exploit the enemy's weaknesses. It is better still to achieve victory by encouraging enemies to defeat themselves. Nevertheless there may be times when a pre-emptive strike or a counter offensive may neutralize one's adversaries. The supreme advantage of a magical attack is that it is rarely perceived as such by persons other than magicians and extreme paranoids. The recipient has nothing except hirself or blind chance to blame for disaster and thus the assailant escapes the reaction which even magnanimity in victory does little to assuage. Destructive magic is to be reserved for those occasions when nothing else will suffice. It is preferably delivered with complete stealth and surgical precision. A Martial combat sigil should encapsulate a subconscious pattern of probability which leads the recipient to a preplanned disaster, exploiting available potential dangers and weaknesses. A Saturnine entropy spell should be passed only after the magician has planted in his subconscious a potential pathway or series of pathways by which the target can disintegrate itself. THE MARS RITE Purpose: To increase physical vitality and courage, and additionally if required to cast a combat spell. Statement of Intent: "It is our/my will..." (see above) 1. Participants march around temple in a brisk militaristic fashion to the sound of loud shouted commands and martial music or drumbeats. Participants may bear arms. 2. Five loud crashes of a metallic instrument signal the beginning of the invocation proper. Participants stand in military formation. 3. The "A" mantra is vibrated for five complete exhalations with a visualization of red energy flowing from the heart and lungs to the muscles of the limbs. 4. The posture of the TIWAZ rune is adopted and the name "Tiwaz" is vibrated for five complete exhalations. 5. The HORUS INVOCATION is shouted aloud: Io Horus Horus! Horus come to me! G E B U R A H Z A R P E ! Thou art me Horus! I am thee, HORUS! 6. The Horus stomp begins. This consists of a fairly rapid alternation between two postures each accompanied by a shout. Firstly the Sign of the Enterer (right foot and arms extended forward and the cry "IO HORUS!"). Secondly the Sign of the Conqueror (right foot brought back with a stamp and right arm shot upward with clenched fist and the cry "G E B U R A Z A R P E !"). The stomp continues for some time as participants evoke aggression and visualize themselves as hawk headed crimson warriors. 7. A signal is given to stop and participants adopt a martial arts posture and deliver a loud "KIAI!" accompanied by a forward fist blow into space. If a previously prepared sigil is used it should have been taped over each participants breast. Before the "KIAI!" is delivered it is torn off, balled up into the clenched fist and visualized momentarily during the "KIAI!". 8. Laughter Banishing and/or a Gnostic Pentagram Ritual may be used to end the rite. THE SATURN RITUAL To consecrate an Entropy Spell: (black with silver) 1. Three (3) conch blasts. 2. Statement of Intent: "It is our will to consecrate an Entropy Spell to detonate on the naming of the target and the passing of the Runes." 3. Invocation of Saturnine Deathforms. Stand on Spell whilst visualizing oneself in Death Godform. 4. Runes. ISA THURISAZ NAUTHIZ 5. Spells into Coffin, with each participants spitting out "I will bury you - ICH BEGRABEDITCH!" Coffin is put into triangle with appropriate Saturnine music to accompany it. 6. Curse. Whilst sighting down left arm, each participant visualizing as the curse is chanted. "When I name you the end is nigh Death Death Death! When the Runes are passed it is the end Death Death Death! Destruction take you with this curse! Death Death Death! 7. Three (3) conch blasts. 8. Laughter and Gnostic Pentagram Ritual to banish and end the rite. INVOCATION OF THE SATURN DEATH GODFORM "Let us make the sign of Saturn upon ourselves."

Ouranos/Uranus, the eighth body, orbits outside the sphere of the classical planets and the god forms or thought form attributed to them. Thus it forms an ideal symbol for that which encompasses all the gods within its orbit: the magical personality. It represents not the power of the magic itself, which is attributed to Pluto; but rather the desire to be a magician, and the personality required to live as one. Astronomically, this equates with the curious orbit of Ouranos which, with its polar axis tilted at an eccentric angle, almost on the plane of the ecliptic, symbolizes the antinomian character of the magician, ever delving into that which is weird, occult and perverse, to unlock its secrets. Ouranos can also be thought of as the dark side of the Sun. Whereas the classical bodies orbit the sun, the bright center of the human personality; Ouranos represents something more dark, and perhaps devious, creeping round in the darkness outside of the normal. The magician emblem of Ouranos is the serpent; and the god form may be invoked or visualized, bearing a serpent- shaped wand crowned with an Uraeus-style serpent in Egyptian style, and garbed in raiment bearing the serpent motif. Ouranos has a characteristic color, which is idiosyncratic to the person invoking it, called Octarine; meaning the eighth color of the spectrum, which is the color of magic and may be any color that represents magic to the individual. For most magicians, Octarine is simply the color in which visualizations occur, if they are not deliberately made into any particular color. The background Ouranian color is dark green. Invoke for Knowledge and Manipulation of things magical──that is, for works of pure rather than applied magic──and for the discovery of magical knowledge and techniques and magical self-development, rather than to create direct effects. Ouranos may be invoked for the creation or discovery of magical languages, symbols and theories, and also for works of psychiatry. THE OURANOS RITE (The basic Ouranos Rite may be adapted for many purposes. It is presented here with an appended Ouranian Servitor Evocation.) 1. Banishing ritual if required. 2. Draw eight pointed star above the place of working and visualize strongly. 3. Statement of Intent, aloud: "It is our will to invoke Ouranos," etc. 4. Eight loud sounds. 5. The Prologue is recited. 6. Invocation 1 is read aloud. 7. The sign of Ouranos is made upon oneself by drawing and visualization. 8. Invocation 2 is shouted aloud as many times as desired. Sensory overload is sought, using any or all of the following: Participants gaze at the Ouranos sigil drawn on or held in the left hand, whilst whirling on the spot widdershins with increasing speed. Hyperventilation at will. Weird, discordant, eldritch noise/sound effects/music may be played. Stroboscopes set to epileptiform frequencies around 6.66 Hz are triggered. Participants visualize themselves in the Ouranos god form and chant the name "Ouranos". Octarine light may be visualized onto the Ouranos sigil and emanating from the participants. 9. Whirling ceases and the evocation may be used if desired. The Ouranian sigil may serve as a material basis for the evocation, or a more specialized pre- prepared object may be used. 10. Laughter Banishing, followed if required by a banishing ritual.
