(This is a typical rite used in the initial chargings of the Glyph. There are five others to address the other planetary "pairs" and a final rite designed to kick it all into some semblance of activity.)
0. We begin with some sort of preparatory exercise, the less intrusive the better. Suggest "middle pillar" or clavis rei sort of thing.
1 Strike Battery of Jove: 4
2: After establishing rythmic breath, strike the battery such that the breath can comfortably timed at 6-6-6-6. Imagine one triangle of the hexagram laid out before you. Upon signal, and at the inhale, imagine that one is walking the line from one's place of origin to the next point. One sees oneself or one's party pass through the air as though walking on the imaginary line of light that would connect the physical markers causing the faint line to strengthen and wax brighter behind. While holding for six, get your bearings for the next hike and make this trip on the exhale. On the hold, get your bearings for the point of origin and on the inhale make the trek there. Stop at this point, holding the thought that the triangle exists in an astral sense as a figure of light. (A diagram of the specific arrangement was here appended)
2: Orison: "Magnificent and benificent Jove, Hail! We call upon you to work your will upon our art, expanding upon and organizing our work here under the sky. May your judicious and benevolent presence our desires manifest and serve the grand purpose for which it was created. May you find harmony with the Sun in promoting the equilibrium brought by that blessed source. King of the gods, lord of the sky-- hail!"

4: Procession
2: Orison: "Passionate and changeful Moon, Hail! We call upon you to work your will upon our art, bringing the tides of the Sun's benificence upon our work here within this land. May your swelling and subsiding power be the engine to make our desires manifest and serve the grand purpose for which it was created. May you find harmony with the Sun in promoting the equilibrium brought by that blessed source. Constant companion, blest of the gods, hail!"
3: Offeratory: "This token of your potency is given that your presence may dwell in this place firmly, anchoring your presence here and binding it to your wandering path in the myriad Stars! Genurah, Levanah!
4: Procession

Chorus: "Hail to thee!"
Procession to the point of Mercury
1: Strike Battery of Mercury: 8
2:After establishing rythmic breath, strike the battery such that the breath can comfortably timed at 6-6-6-6. Imagine one triangle of the hexagram laid out before you. Upon signal, and at the inhale,imagine that one is walking the line from one's place of origin to the next point. One sees oneself or one's party pass through the air as though walking on the imaginary line of light that would connect the physical markers causing the faint line to strengthen and wax brighter behind. While holding for six, get your bearings for the next hike and make this trip on the exhale. On the hold, get your bearings for the point of origin and on the inhale make the trek there. Stop at this point, holding the thought that the triangle exists in an astral sense as a figure of light. (Again, a diagram was here appended to aid in the visualization specifics)
2: Orison: "Winged Mercury, god of magick and words--Hail! We call upon you to work your will upon our art, energizing and organizing our work here within this land. May your fluid and thoughtful presence make our desires manifest and serve the grand purpose for which it was created. May you find harmony with the Sun in promoting the equilibrium brought by that blessed source. Bringer of madness and sanity, beloved of the gods, hail!"
3: Offering: "This token of your potency is given that your presence may dwell in this place firmly, anchoring your presence here and binding it to your wandering path in the myriad Stars! Geburah, Kokab!
4: Procession
2: Orison: "Lofty and chill Saturn, Hail! We call upon you to work your will upon our art, crystallizing and solidifying our work here within this land. May your unerring and firm structure make our desires manifest and serve the grand purpose for which it was created. May you find harmony with the Sun in promoting the equilibrium brought by that blessed source. Wise and most ancient of gods, hail!"
3: Offering: "A token of your potency is given that your presence may dwell in this place firmly, anchoring your presence here and binding it to your wandering path in the myriad Stars! Geburah, Shabbathai!
4: Procession
2:Orison: "Gracious Venus, swelling with life and desire for vivid abundance, Hail! We call upon you to work your will upon our art, bringing forth the design we here have laid upon this land as life is brought from the mere dust. May your vivacious and willful presence make our desires manifest and serve the grand purpose for which it was created. May you find harmony with the Sun in promoting the equilibrium brought by that blessed source. Daughter of the eldest gods, hail!"
3: Offering: "This token of your potency is given that your presence may dwell in this place firmly, anchoring your presence here and binding it to your wandering path in the myriad Stars! Geburah, Nogah!
4: Procession to Mercury again
Invocation: "Hermes, thee we invoke this night that your expressive and quick intelligence steer our efforts wisely. Hail to thee, the very god of Magic, Hermes!
Chorus: "Hail to thee!"
Procession to center
1: Reveal key.
2: Strike battery of 6.
3: Orison: "Life giving sun, child of Creation's Lord! Pour down upon this land and upon our heads the maginificence of light and life that is uniquely yours! Father of Gods and of men, bring harmony to your family above and to their efforts in this work we have undertaken below. Let all feel your bounty, but let none be overburdened thereby. Establish in this place and in our hearts the true center that only you can divulge. Geburah, Shemesh!"
4: Leave promptly
5: Retiring to a nearby public place, visualize for 30 seconds or so: The sun is being called down into the device which serves to distribute the bounty each to it's appropriate sphere, with all excess "bounty" flowing out to and through the intersected areas of the diagram and on into the surrounding countryside. Thus, remark that each point will effectively be a temple to the particular god in question. Taking each point in turn, starting with the one upon which this rite began, imagine a temple built there, sacred to the god in question. Moving around them clockwise, return at last to the center, imagining a brilliant and unadorned white light residing in the sky well above the ground location of the Shemesh point. Let it reside approximately in the plane where one would expect to find it if the lines were made actual in Assiatic terms.
6. Retire
