Framing Ritual

Relaxation Ritual

  1. Start off by finding a place where you will not be disturbed by anything or anyone. Stand facing towards East.
  2. Begin by visualizing a ball of bright golden white energy. Feel it as a warm, soothing, and comforting ball of energy. One important side note is not to think of this ball as just a simple ball of energy. Think of it as the sun or the morning sun rising up into the new day, bringing forth to the earth new life, vitality, and light. Feel this ball slowly enveloping your feet. Feel its warmth beginning to relax your feet, taking away all tension and aches from all parts of your feet. Feel them completely relaxed. Feel every muscle in your foot without pain or aches, just completely relaxed.
  3. Now start to bring the ball slowly up your ankles and the bottom of your legs. Feel the warmth taking away all aches and pains from your ankles and legs. They are completely relaxed. Now feel it moving up to the thigh area, then to the waist, making all areas it touches feel relaxed. Continue to do this throughout your entire body. Move the ball up to your stomach, chest, neck, and end at your head.
  4. If at any point in this ritual you begin to feel an area of your body starting to feel tense, or coming out of its relaxed state, direct the ball to that area and feel it becoming relaxed again. You might want to leave it there for a few moments to ensure that the feeling stays.
  5. After your entire body is relaxed, take a few moments to feel it. Feel every muscle in every part of your body fully relaxed. Your mind is relaxed. Any thoughts of work, the kids, or the mundane world do not make a difference. Now take a few breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, as in the Four-Fold Breath. Say in your mind or out loud: “My body and my mind is completely relaxed, and I am ready to start my workings.”

The Geomancer's Cross

  1. Begin standing, facing East, with a moment of meditation, arms at your sides with palms outward, shoulders back. Regulate your breathing pattern.
  2. Visualize growing larger and larger with every breath, until you are larger than the Universe itself and your head is basically in the Void. Look up and see bright, white light shining above your head – reach up and vibrate while continuously bringing it down towards your forehead (then proceed to touch your forehead and visualize a sphere of bright, white light forming inside your head): ASH-KEE-OHN (Askion)
  3. Move your hands towards your groin, and when your hand reaches your heart, start vibrating the word (while moving towards your groin, after your hand reached there, point your fingers downwards and visualize a sphere of light forming inside your body and a beam of light connecting the sphere in your head and your groind): KAT-ASH-KEE-ONH (Kataskion)
  4. Move your hand towards your right shoulder, and visualize a sphere of light forming there, then vibrate: LEE-X (Lix)
  5. Move your hand towards your left shoulder. When you reach your heart, start vibrating, and visualize a sphere of light forming inside your left shoulder and a beam of light connecting both shoulders: TET-RAX (Tetrax)
  6. Touch the left hand to the right shoulder and the right hand to the left shoulder while slightly bowing your head (The Sign of Osiris Risen: The Pentagram). Visualize a very small but infinitely bright point at the intersection of the two beams of light in the body, joining them both together. Vibrate: DAM-NAM-EH-NEH-USS (Damnameneus)
  7. Open the hands and arms out forward and to the sides in a sweeping motion (The Sign of the Rending of the Veil). Visualize three beams of light emanating from that intersection point: an infinite vertical one passing through both the head and the groin, an infinite horizontal one passing through both the right shoulder and left shoulder, and an infinite beam passing through the chest forward and backward. Vibrate: AISH-IONH (Aision)

Gnostic Pentagram Ritual

  1. Stand facing East.
  2. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound “I” (a high-pitched ieeeee! sound) while visualizing a radiance of bright white energy in the head area.
  3. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound “E” (a lower-pitched eeeeh! sound) while visualizing a radiance of enerfy in the throat area.
  4. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound “A” (a deep aaaah! sound) while visualizing a radiance of energy in the heart and lungs, which spreads to the muscles of the limbs.
  5. As in 2, but the sound “O” (ooooh!) in the belly area.
  6. As in 2, but the sound “U” (a very deep uuuur!) in the genital/anal area.
  7. Repat 6. Then 5, 4, 3, 2, working back toward the head.
  8. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly, forming each of the IEAOU sounds in turn while, with the left arm, drawing in the air a pentagram, which is also visualized strongly. (Banishing Air in the East, Banishing Earth in the North, Banishing Water in the West, and Banishing Fire in the South)
  9. Make a quarter turn to the left and repeat 8, then continue to turn and draw the remaining pentagrams with mantra and visualization until returning to the starting position.
