| Dawn Ritual |
| This ritual can give insights into divine mysteries, and should only be done by those powerful enough ans wise enough to know what I am talking about... This ritual is taken from THE BOOK OF ANGELS by Francis Melville and is published by Barron's Rise well before dawn to give yourself time to wash and dress--idealy in all natural white cloth--and get to your chosen spot a few minutes before sunrise. Begin by performing a Kabbalistic Cross. Then address the ArchAngels of the four cardinal points, starting in te east. Raise both arms towards the east and say: GREAT ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL, PRINCE OF AIR AND LORD OF THE EAST, HAIL! Keeping your arms raised, turn to the south and say: GREAT ARCHANGEL MICHAEL, PRINCE OF FIRE AND LORD OF THE SOUTH, HAIL! Keeping your arms raised, turn to the west and say: GREAT ARCHANGEL GABRIEL, PRINCE OF WATER AND LORD OF THE WEST, HAIL! Keeping your arms raised, turn to the north and say: GREAT ARCHANGEL URIEL, PRINCE OF EARTH AND LORD OF THE NORTH, HAIL! With arms raised, return to the east, completing the circle. Bow your head to the brightening horizon and let your arms come down to your sides. As soon as the first rays of the sun appear over the horizon, raise your arms again, saying: HAIL VEHUHIAH, OH GREAT SHINING SERAPH! HEAR THIS, MY PRAYER, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD (Or other name of the divine...) I PRAY THAT.......................................... I HONOR AND THANK YOU, O SERAPH, IN THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL ANSWER THIS, MY PRAYER, IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH, Lower your arms and bow toward the sun. Relax and let the intent of your words ripple on the air and be carried by the suns brightening rays. Now raise your arms to the east again and say: HAIL URZLA, GLORIOUS ANGEL OF THE EAST! GEAR THIS MY PRAYER, IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. PLEASE RECVEAL UNTO ME A BRIGHT JEWEL OF WISDOM FROM THE CROWN OF THE ONE WHO IS ALL UNDERSTANDING, TO HELP ME SURRENDER TO THE LIGHT OF HIS LOVE. I HONOR AND THANK YOU FOR THIS GRACIOUS GIFTM IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH. Lower your arms and bow your head, cupping your hands to your heart as if to hold the angel's gift. Stay with the scilence for a moment and let the light flood your whole being. The nature of Urzla's gift may not be revealed to you immediatly, but if you plant it in your heart with care it will germinate and blossom into an eternal rose of wisdom. Clonclude the ritual by addressng the angels in the same manner as before only adding "FAREWELL!" to the "HAIL!" (East to East... same order--clockwise). This is a powerful ritual which should only be performed once you are comfortable with its format. Idealy, memorize it. |
