PRAYERS OF THE ELEMENTALS by ELIPHAS LEVIPRAYER OF THE SYLPHS(AIR)Spirit of Life, Spirit of Wisdom whose breath giveth forth and withdraweth the form of all living things; Thou, before whom the Life of Beings is but a shadow which changeth, and a vapor which passeth; Thou who mountest upon the clouds, and who walketh upon the wings of the wind; Thou who breathest forth, and endless Space is peopled; Thou who drawest in Thy breath and all that cometh from Thee returneth unto Thee; ceaseless Movement in Eternal Stability, Be Thou eternally blessed! We praise Thee and we bless Thee in the changing Empire of created Light, of Shades, of reflections, and of Images and we aspire without cessation unto Thy immutable and imperishable brilliance. Let the Ray of Thine Intelligence and the warmth of Thy Love penetrate even unto us; then that which is volatile shall be fixed, the shadow shall be a body, the Spirit of Air shall be a soul, the dream shall be a thought. And no longer shall we be swept away by the Tempest, but we shall hold the bridles of the Winged Steeds of Dawn, and we shall direct the course of the Evening Breeze to fly before Thee. O Spirit of Spirits, O Eternal Soul of Souls, O imperish able breath of Life, O Creative Sigh, O mouth which breathest forth and withdrawest the Life of all Beings in the Flux and Reflux ebb and flow of thine Eternal Word which is the Divine Ocean of Movement and of Truth. Amen.PRAYER OF THE UNDINES(WATER)Dread King of the Sea, who hast the Keys of the floodgates of Heaven and who enclosest the subterranean Waters in the cavernous hollows of Earth; King of the Deluge and of the Rains of Spring; Thou who openest the sources of Rivers and of Fountains; Thou who commandest moisture, which is like the blood of the earth, to become the sap of plants: We adore thee and we invoke thee! Speak thou unto us Thy inconstant and changeful creatures in the great Tempests of the Sea, and we shall tremble before Thee. Speak unto us also in the murmur of limpid waters, and we shall desire thy love. O Vastness wherein all the Rivers of Being seek to lose themselves, which renew themselves ever in thee. O Ocean of infinite perfections! O Height which reflectest Thyself in the Depth! O Depth which exhalest thyself into the Height! Lead us into Immortality through sacrifice, that we may be found worthy one day to offer unto Thee the Water, the Blood, and the Tears, for the remission of Sins! Amen.PRAYER OF THE SALAMANDERS(FIRE)Immortal, Eternal, Ineffable and Uncreated Father of All, borne upon the Chariot of Worlds, which ever roll in ceaseless motion; Ruler over the Ethereal Vastness, where the Throne of Thy Power is upraised, from the summit of which Thine eyes behold all, and Thy pure and Holy ears hear all, hear Thou Thy children, whom thou hast loved since before the Ages began. Thy Majesty Golden, Vast and Eternal, shineth above the Heaven of Stars! Above them art Thou exalted, O Thou Flashing Fire! There Thou illuminateth all things with Thine insupportable Glory, whence flow the ceaseless streams of splendor which nourish Thine Infi nite Spirit. This Infinite Spirit nourisheth all, and maketh that inexhaustable treasure of generation which ever encompasseth Thee, replete with the numberless forms wherewith Thou hast filled it from the beginning. From this Spirit arise those most Holy Kings, who surround thy Throne and who compose Thy court. O Universal Father! One and Alone! Father alike of Immortals and of Mortals! Thou hast created Powers marvellously like unto Thy thought Eternal and unto Thy venerable Essence. Thou hast estab lished them above the Angels who announce Thy Will to the World. Lastly, thou hast created us third in rank within our Elemental Empire! There our continual exercise is to praise and to adore Thy desires! There we ceaselessly burn with Eternal Aspiration unto Thee! O Father! O Mother of Mothers, O Archetype Eternal of Maternity and of Love! O Son, the flower of all Sons! O form of all forms, Soul, Spirit, Harmony and Numeral of all Things! Amen.PRAYER OF THE GNOMES(EARTH)O Invisible King Who, taking the Earth for Foundation, didst hollow its depths to fill them with Thy Almighty Power. Thou Whose Name shaketh the Arches of the World! Thou who causest the Seven Metals to flow through the veins of the rocks! King of the Seven Lights! Rewarder of the subterranean Workers! Lead us into the desirable Air and into the Realm of Splendor. We watch and we labor unceasingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the Holy City, by the buried Talismans, by the Axis of the Lodestone which passes through the center of the Earth. O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! Have pity upon those who suffer. Expand our hearts, detach and upraise our minds, enlarge our natures. O Stability and Motion! O Darkness veiled in Brilliance! O Day clothed in Night! O Master who never dost withhold the wages of Thy Workmen! O Silver Whiteness! O Golden Splendor! O Crown of Living and Melodious Diamond! Thou who wearest the Heavens on Thy Finger like a ring of Sapphire! Thou who hidest beneath the Earth in the Kingdom of Gems, the marvelous Seed of the Stars! Live, reign, and be Thou the Eternal Dispenser of the Treasures whereof Thou hast made us the Warders! Amen.

Fireclown's Rubyby Fireclown, June 1995.

A deconstructed/reconstructed Star Ruby,suitable for a variety of Aims, with

commentary and tangential thoughts.

Begin standing, Horse position. Breathe deeply and slowly, and center. Bring forefinger or Magickal Weapon to the lips, and continue to breathe deeply. Feel waves of current

flow though the bodymind, seeking to escape. Let the flow build and build, until on an exhalation, you release:

AEPELIZAGE!

While flinging the energy raised down and out behind you in an arc of force. Re-center if center is lost in this action. Raise hand(s) above head, and slowly lower to third eye level, and vibrate: IIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!, a full

exhalation. Lower hand(s) to throat and vibrate EEEEEHHHHHHHH! Lower hands to solar plexus and vibrate AAAAAAHHHHHHH! Lower hands to belly and vibrate OOOOOOHHHHH! Lower hands to thighs, and let them rest there while vibrating UUUUUUUUUU(RRRRR)! Center, if center has been lost. On the in-breath, quietly say: I On the out-breath, quietly say: AM Continue this mantra until mild gnosis entered, still remaining in Horse stance. End mantra, open eyes, and draw the sign of Chaos in four lines before you. Draw a spiral from the center

out, and vibrate: CHAOS Turn 90 degrees. Draw sign of Chaos and spiral as before, and vibrate: BABALON Turn as before, draw sign and spiral, and vibrate: BAPHOMET Turn as before, draw sign and spiral, and vibrate: KALI-MA Turn once more until you are in starting position, resume Horse, and center. Begin mantra of IO PAN, IO PAN, IO PAN, PAN, PAN and Begin N.O.X. signs as per Crowley's Star Ruby, but in the form of a slowly spinning dance, in the same

direction you turned for the four quadrants. Perform at least three sequences of N.O.X. signs in this fashion. Stop in beginning position, resume Horse. Proclaim:

BEFORE ME THE HOWLING WINDS.BEHIND ME THE RAGING SEA.TO MY RIGHT THE CONSUMING FLAMES.TO MY LEFT THE SHAKING EARTH.

I O KIA

Center, with hands on thighs, and begin the vowel vibrations from UUUUUU(RRRR)! on up to IIIIEEEEEE!

Hands or Weapon to lips, and AEPELIZAGE! as you began. Comments: The structure of this rite is derived from the Star Ruby, and I find it fine, so I left the frame. However, much has been altered, and I'll explain why. I'm fond of my Demons, so I don't fancy sending them away. It took me years to make them. Therefore, Aepelizage, which means, in Ouranian Barbaric, 'Immanentize the Eschaton'(bring about the end of the world), a concept I'm fond of. In this case, the end of the world is that of John Grey, the Flat People, Mr. Roboto and Mr. Clean. You begin with this statement to separate from 'normal' consciousness. The use of the Horse stance (ask any Martial Artist to show you) is manifold. First, we don't usually stand like this, so again, a work of separation and distancing. Second, it lowers the center of balance, and puts a measure of strain on the body, which helps keep the discursive mind occupied. 'I am uncomfortable' is not thought that greatly hinders magick. This strain is an important part of the rite, so seek it out, don't avoid it. Keeping 'centered' is the only way I know of describing a bodymind state I am looking for. The mind is (relatively) quiet, the body is still, you are focused, but not pressured. Nothing is happening, Nothing at all. (See Zen, if you have trouble with this.) Also, the shifts into action and vocalization are more severe if one is calm and center when one is not in motion. The Vowel mantra's serve to open up the energy centers of the bodymind and allow blockages to be opened. This is not the main thrust of the rite as it is written, so we do not linger long. Also, works to silence the deepmind, and by stopping on the groin/U sound, lowers the center of gravity. This is a good thing when the rite starts really working. The Chaos signs begin to redefine the working space, and your relation to the bit of the world you are in. John Grey is almost defined by his acceptance of consentual reality, and is often tyranized by it. The Sorcerer is in a continuing

state of co-creation/co-destruction of perceived reality, and the drawing of the Chaos sigil states that what is before him is highly mutable. The spiral, moving sunwise (clockwise) from the center out, is a sign of invokation, of the drawing in and expansion of possibility into the sorcerer's sphere of influence. To Banish/Devoke, start at the outside and move in, anti-sunwise (counter-clockwise) thereby denying Time and Space to whatever it is you seek to banish. The sensoria should be that of pulling-expanding or pushing- contracting. The "Godnames" are perceived as 'natural' forces or drives in the Multiverse, or as 'Gods' if you're pervy. Put your own up, unless you prefer mine, it changes everything, but then that's the idea... The NOX dance is an act of seduction in acts of Invokation, violation/rape in Banishing/Devokation. In either case, it is a play of creation in the rite: one does not 'generate' or 'destroy' anything, one transmutes and transforms the raw materials already present to suit one's will. Or for the hell of it....Or maybe so it can then kick your ass...I forget, sometimes. For invokation, one can continue to spin/dance and chant, if you keep up the I O PAN you'll probably get goat-type forms, and is recomended for atavistic resurgence and Baphomet. Otherwise, shift the mantra to suit the outcome desired. To charge a sigil or consecrate an object, you can stop short of Possession, and focus the energies present into the sigil/object. Again, 'or not'...I like to have possessing entities charge these things. They seem to enjoy it as well. The elements, take, modify, discard. Mainly they help to define space. Other options include Invoking the element as opposed to (or along with) the 'Godform', perhaps creating a Gate in that quadrant and talking a walk on through, or calling up an elemental, whatever.

The Mass of Choronzonby Pete Carrol

An Invocation of the personal ego or false Holy Guardian Angel, for the purpose of casting ones entire will as an Enchantment upon reality. Such an operation would normally qualify as an extreme act of black magic, were it not prefaced by an initial invocation of the formless Kia or real Holy Guardian Angle. The essential purpose of the conjuration as a whole is to increase the dominian of ones ego over the world in the hope of bringing the formless life force of the Kia more fully into play. The ritual is traditionally performed with a wand to exemplify will, although other instruments can be used, or improvisation made with the clenched fist if necessary. The invocations are in the Enochian language and represent in part, adaptions of the calls of the first and tenth Enochian Aethers, and consist of eleven and thirty three words each. Unlike the Mass of Chaos B (Baphomet Conjuration), this ritual cannot be aimed to enchant for any specific desire and has the property of tending to phenomenise the desires of the ego at random. Herein lies its use and its danger. You may only realise what it was you wanted when it arrives. The ritual must therefore be considered as partly an act of Divination. Following the statement of intent, the Kia is first invoked by an incantation, a mantra and a brief period of complete mental silence. It would be both blasphemous and catastrophic to attempt to conceptualise Kia as other than a formless pregnant void. The god/daemon form of Choronzon is manifested by a visulisation of ones self in the form of ones grossly hypertrophied ego whilst the incantation is given. The ritual is concluded with three simultaneous acts. A lightening flash in the form of the solar sig or sigil or sowulo victory rune is visualised flashing down from ones head to the ground, a loud martial arts Kia is shouted and the wand is struck against the ground. Laughter banishing then follows.

Mass of Choronzon1. Statement of Intent:

LET MY TOTAL WILL BE DONE ! 2. The Eight Rayed Star of Chaos is traced upoon the ground with the wand. 3. The Invocation to Kia is delivered, holding the wand aloft, with both hands, directly above the head.

Incantation: ZIRDO IADNAMAD ELILA I am the undefiled knowledge of the 1st aether

MICALZODO SAANIR MADRIAAX mighty in the parts of the heavens

FINIS BALZIZIRAS IADA executing the judgement of the highest

IO KIA !

4. "I" mantra for one complete exhalation. In PTAH posture (feet together, wand held with both hand upright against body).

5. Mental silence for a few moments. In PTAH posture. 6. Choronzon Invocation: wand held crosswise above the head.

Incantation: ANETAB OTHIL LUDSI CAOSAGI in government I have set my feet in the earth

ZIRDO LONSMI DEPEDE ZARZAX I am the power 333 of the 10th aether

7. Visualise Lightening Flash, Shout Kiai, Strike Wand to Ground. 8. Banish with Laughter.

The Gnostic Thunderbolt

Purpose:The Gnostic Thunderbolt is a mutation of, and can be used interchangeably with, the Gnostic Pentagram Ritual. Its purpose is to imbue motivation and momentum to the participants, whilst banishing unwanted influences at the same time. It is highly recommended for opening a temple, and as a preliminary to other work, but is not well applied to healing aims.

Description: 9. Inhale. Starting just beyong the head, either shoulder, or either hip, draw the first point of the Thunderbolt.

Simultaneously, visualize a blue sphere lighting up between the eyes, and sending a thread of light to the point. Vibrate "Iiiiii..." in a high-pitched tone until the lungs are emptied.

10. Inhale. Trace a straight line from shoulder to opposite shoulder or hip, or from the head to either hip. Visualize a yellow sphere lighting up in the throat,sending a thread of light to the second point. Vibrate "Eeee..." in a slightly lower tone.

11. Inhale. Trace a second line, again as if drawing a pentagram. Visualize a red sphere in the center of the chest, and sending its light to the third point. Vibrate "Ahhh..." in a tone lower than the previous vibration.

12. Inhale. Trace a third line. Visualize a purple sphere in the genital area, sending its light to the fourth point. Vibrate "Ohhh..." in a lower tone.

13. Inhale. Trace the fourth line. Visualize a green sphere encircling the feet and disappearing into the ground, and sending its thread to the fifth point. Vibrate "Oooo...".

14. Do not draw the closing bar of the pentagram! Instead, remain completely motionless and hold your breath for as long as possible. Concentrate your attention fixedly on the sound of your blood rushing through your carotid arteries. Know that the rumbling you hear is the eternal explosion of the Thunderbolt. You are part of the thunderbolt, moving endlessly and mindlessly onward.

15. Continue to hold the image and sound in the mind while holding your breath. When you finally must breathe, envision the thunderbolt fragmenting with a tremendous roar and sending octarine sparks into and through you.

16. Repeat the seven steps above, drawing the thunderbolts about you to describe a 3-dimensional shape of whatever kind suits you.

17. Declaration of intent, ie "We will that we never end where we had begun. We will that we shall begin."

Techniques Employed:Breath control, sound concentration, image concentration, sound vibration.

THE VORTEX RITE

What is a Vortex?A vortex is a wormhole or pocket universe created by a Chaos Magician for any number of purposes. It is the willful manifestation of a whirlpool of magickal energy and a radical distortion of time and space. It may also serve to fold space in such a way as to create a magickal "shortcut" between any number of points in mundane space/time. The process of creating the vortex is itself a mimicry of the manifestation of various dualities out of the primal chaos. Due to legalities imposed by the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT), I am unable to post the Vortex Rite in its original form, as penned by Peter Carroll. The version found here corrects a major error in the original form which, if followed, manifests aeons of religion and science and demanifests Pandaemonaeon if followed (see the closure herein versus the original, if you can find it). Please be aware that the IOT has stated that it will not tolerate reproduction of the flawed original in any medium, and reserves the right to litigate against any individual or group that does so. You've been warned.

The Rite 18. Stand up. 19. Take a few good, deep breaths. Relax. 20. Stomp your left foot and cry out HUT (meaning "start") 21. Extend both index fingers and bring them together in front of you. Say XIQUAL UDINBAK, which means

roughly "manifest chaos". Visualize a point of light at your fingertips. 22. Separate the fingers so that you draw a vertical line before you. Say XIQUAL UZARFE, D'KYENG. This

means, roughly, "manifest aethyr, Planck's constant". Aethyr is buzzing with potential, Planck's constant is total contraction. Visualize the astrological symbol for Saturn at the top of the vertical line, and the Greek letter "psi" at the bottom.

23. Bring the index fingers back together, but keep visualizing the lines and the symbols at either end. 24. Draw a line with the fingertips perpendicular to the first line, saying XIQUAL KUDEX, EACHT (roughly,

manifest light and darkness). At either end of the line, visualize, respectively, a sphere of light and one of total blackness.

25. Repeat step 6. 26. Draw another line at a 45ş angle to the first two. Say XIQUAL ASHARA, DIJOW - roughly, manifest fire

and air (they also mean energy and time, respectively). A variety of symbols can be used to represent the two, including personally-created sigils. The alchemical triangles are suggested.

27. Repeat step 6. 28. Draw a fourth line perpendicular to the line in step 9, with the phrase XIQUAL THALDOMA, NOBO

(roughly, water and earth, or space and mass). Visualize the appropriate symbol at either end of this line as well.

29. Take your time, and make sure that you can fully visualize all of the lines and symbols. Don't try to control color; just let it come to you as it will (this is one way to discover your octarine).

30. Say XIQUAL ONGATHAWAS (manifest the vortex), and make a gesture with your left hand which suggests setting a wheel spinning to you. This can range from the twitch of a finger to the sweep of an arm.

31. Use your breath to speed up the initial spin. With each inhalation and exhalation, make the whirl go faster and faster. Keep doing this until it appears 3-dimensional, as if you could thrust your arm into it.

32. Your vortex is now open! Shout out XIQUAL CHOYOFAQUE (manifest the work of chaos), or, if so inclined, some other phrase. It can be in any language you choose. It really doesn't matter (this is true of all the steps outlined. Using a weird tongue like Ouranian Barbaric helps distract the conscious mind, and thus the psychic censor).

33. Go about whatever business you've set out to do. 34. When you're all finished with your vortex, strengthen your vision of it once more.

35. Point the index finger of your left hand at it and query ANGBIX (how?) Then your middle finger and ask POHUTH? (why)?, and finally your thumb with the question WOKAC? (what?). These are the three basic questions of materialism/science, spirituality/religion, and magick, respectively, per Carroll's aeonic theories.

36. See the triangle formed by the three outstretched fingers? Visualize it as a sort of volume control, a solid triangle. Turn the "knob" counterclockwise to shut the vortex off, with a shout of AEPALIZAGE "immanentize the eschaton."

Using a tone of voice matched to the intent of the working(s) to follow the vortex does better for me. Any number of personal inflections are possible throughout this rite.

CREEPY-CRAWL CHAMELEON RITEa Method of Not Being Noticed

Introduction: An Occulting Primer Fear and Self-Confidence Getting the Fear brings on a hyper awareness of one's outside environment (and a dramatic heightening of all of one's physical and psychic senses) when raised to a pitch nearing terror by survival instincts. This is the definition of pathic paranoia. The purpose of deliberately inducing fear in oneself is to increase awareness and, although somewhat unpredictably, speed in performing acts of an embarrassing or "not quite legal" sort. This method however, when it is the only one used, tends to attract notice rather than detract from it. Self-Confidence, when intentionally induced into an unlikely situation, brings non-awareness, enabling the operator to continue unhampered by fear of divulgence. This is effectively used in acts of a self-righteous sort, in which the operator sees the act as a "god-given right", despite societal taboos to the contrary. An artificial superiority complex is one such example of a self-induced confidence trick to hide unpreparedness, inability, embarrassment and so on. There is also the art of Blending In that often includes both of these, and is the primary result of both when attempting to become invisible. The act of inspiring confusion in mob situations is included in the art of blending in, as it makes any and all actions by a single or well orchestrated group seem of little importance compared to the actions of a confused and/or panicking mob. Therefore, one or all of these factors must be included in any operation whose purpose is to cast a glamour of invisibility on any person, place, or thing. The following ritual outline can be used in any situation in which hostile discovery might be the result. Invisibility should not be the only objective therefore, and so a cloak of silence is also implied. Smell of course is fairly simple to conceal, and is used to advantage by covering up or removing it. The aim of the ritual then is complete invisibility, to include ultimately psychic manipulation of the surrounding area of operation; creating a warp in the fabric of perception to hide an unaccustomed weave. As with any modus operandi, practice makes perfect, and therefore operators are advised to adapt the ritual to fit any circumstance. The Creepy Crawl Chameleon Rite is best performed by a group whilst a single individual speaks the Enochian invocation.

CREEPY-CRAWL CHAMELEON RITEPreliminary:

A few moments of silence and relaxed awareness of one's surroundings. After a suitable period (when one is calm and relaxed), the operators begin imagining everything they see, hear, etc. as a potential threat. This should last only long enough that hi gh-pitched fear overtakes them. Statement of Intent: "It is my/our will to cast a glamour of negative perception on all that should come into my/our sphere of influence." Invocation of Invisibility: To be spoken aloud by a single operant whilst all operators slowly spin widdershins, with eyes wide open and arms outstretched. Operators visualize a sphere of dense black, smoky darkness enveloping the area surrounding them as the Enochian invocation is delivered:

URANUN CARIPE BAGLEN OLGEMEGANZA DE-NOAN CHIIS GOSAAZAMICMAGE OLEOL AG-SAPAH ARPHEORESA ETHAMZ TAA TABEGISOROCHZODINU AR ZURAH PAREMUZODIMIBE PAPNORGE MANINUAZONAC DODSIH HOXMARCH TRIANAMONONS PARE DAS NIIS KURES

Visible only by will, I blind and make deaf all others who may see or hear me.A darkness shall cover them like that at the bottom of the ocean, and they shall leave immediately.Forgetfulness will envelope their minds and anxiety grip their hearts should they come to interrupt us in our work.

The operators then see the smoky darkness dissipate as all that is within the working area begins to "fold". The unfolding process is completed by laughter whilst spinning quickly deosil, high speed, to a full stop.

Cloud EyeBackground Noise This rite is loosely based upon a belief found in Hawaiin legends. In these legends, it was said that the gods and sorcerers (kupua) possessed not one, but many bodies, and could transfer their essence between these bodies as circumstances warranted. Thus, there were tree bodies, human bodies, rainbow bodies, animal bodies and cloud bodies. One body could sometimes be shared by several kupua, and a single kupua might have several bodies of each type. Purpose The aim of this working is to transfer perception to another body - in this case, the cloud body. It can be thought of as an "out of one body and into another" experience. Materials Needed An open space, dry ice, passivity The Rite

37. Open by whatever means feels appropriate. 38. Set the dry ice in the center of the working area. 39. Participants circle deosil around the ice, chanting "Ka-ao-opua-loa" (the sharp-pointed living cloud). In the

Hawaiin legends, this was the name of the kupua of the cloud people. 40. Circling and chanting continue for 10-15 minutes, at the end of which all sit down in a circle as close to the

ice as possible. 41. All stare into the fog rising from the ice until tunnel vision sets in (the field of vision goes black except for

the object focused upon). 42. At the moment that tunnel vision occurs, say:

BER WOCEP WHEBONGAs below, so above

NEKOZY ONGO TENFEMET SOCAGIThe cloud is in my eye

KA-AO-OPUA LOA HATUNN DOUCKKa-ao-opua-loa carry my sight

43. Participants begin spinning at increasing speed with eyes closed, all the while repeating TENFEMET DOUCK

44. When spinning is no longer possible, partcipants lie on their backs and open the eyes completely (no squinting) and focus on the first cloud they see.

45. All repeat: BER WHEBONG WOCEP

as above, so below NEKOZY ONGO TENFEMET TRESLIX

my eye is in the cloud XIQUAL TENFEMET-NEKOZY

phenomenize the cloud-eye46. Visualize a fog exactly like that rising from the dry ice leaving the eyes and rushing up to join with the

clouds. Observe it entirely passively, and with the inner voice repeat "This self is Tenfemet-Douck, the cloud that sees."

47. When tunnel vision again sets in, close the eyes and open them again quickly. Look down over the terrain that passes below your cloud-eye. Note details if desired, but do not attempt to influence direction or speed of motion. All control of these should be left to the wind.

48. When you have achieved your desired results, switch out of the passive mode and attempt to influence direction or speed. Find yourself back in your human body looking up at the clouds.

49. Banish by laughter, and with other means if desired.

THE RITE OF FIREThe purpose of this rite is to invoke the archetypical fire spirit into one's own being, the formula to keep in mind being Fire = Energy = Motivation. The gnosis to be employed is sheer physical exhaustion. All participants must put out as much energy as they are capable of doing without harming themselves permanently. The statement of intent is embodied in the invocation itself, and can be changed to suit one's own needs.

50. The leader of the rite and assistants (if any) administer a sacrament of bread, "wine" and the ointment. All should be charged in whatever manner one desires before the rite begins. For the wine, we used Bacardi 151 with some appropriate food coloring; the ointment we have used was Tiger Balm applied to the temples. The recipe we used for the bread will be found hereafter.

51. The leader and assistants play on flute, drum and rattle. The tempo begins slowly and builds. All participants dance, envisioning them- selves as motes of fire in a huge flame. No holding back!!!

52. The leader screams the following invocation:

Oh leaping lord of flaming fireWe invoke thee - be here now!Burn the mundane dross from us!Slay our bodies on the pyreAnd fill us with thy holy fire!Enrobe! Destroy! Consume! Consume!Our phoenix riseth from our doom!Our skin! Our fat! Our hair! Our bones!Our own cremation we intone!We invoke thee!

53. In unison, all shout the Mantra of Agni Deva at the top of their lungs while continuing to dance:

Jai AgniJai Agni AgniJai AgniJai Sri Agni

54. All continue to dance and repeat the mantra until involuntary collapse occurs. As each individual falls, they should let out a piercing Hoop- Lah!. Their vision of their own destruction and subsequent rebirth should take place at this point. The rite concludes when noone is left standing.

The bread sacrament was prepared as follows: ˝ cup yellow corn meal1 teaspoon salt3/4 teaspoon sugar1˝ tablespoons clarified butter (ghee)

Mix together in a bowl; pour over it 3/4 cup of boiling water; beat in one egg. Add 2 teaspoons Vietnam-style hot garlic sauce. Drop by tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet and cook for 15 minutes in an oven at 400°. This makes enough for a dozen cookies. They're quite volatile.

Prinn's Lightning0) Assume your usual meditative state. For those of you who do not regularly meditate, this exercise will be more difficult, but not impossible. 1) Begin by regulating your breathing. Your breathing should be even and natural, and you should pay attention to the feeling of the air sliding in and out of your lungs. Take your time and settle yourself into your position until you feel balanced and relaxed. 2) Now, since you are already focussing on the friction of air passing in and out of your lungs, note also how cool it feels, cool and dry. Feel that coolness and dryness spreading out from your lungs through your veins, slowly permeating your torso. When the coolness reaches your limbs, take note of how they affect your hands and feet. Feel the coolness and dryness permeate your limbs, then your aura. As this coolness reaches your aura, take note of how IT feels when it cools in response to your breath. 3) In this cool, dry aura, seek out and feel the static electricity. Find its center, then will it to grow. The cool dry air passing in and out of your body causes the friction that intensifies this electricity, and you will note the effects of your breath on the level of electricity you sense. Feel the electricity responding to your breath, tingling on your skin, crackling along your veins and arteries like copper cables. 4) At this point, you will notice that your attention on the electricity alerts you to a change in your aura. Note how different it feels, the intensification of your body's electromagnetic field. Note how it pulls at some things in your environment while pushing at others, and make a note of what sort of objects are affected by this field. Continue "winding up" the electric charge in your body as long as you can, as intensely as you can. 5) Having chosen ahead of time an object into which to release this energy, focus now on how that object feels in response to the field of electricity around you. Does it pull or push? As you continue to breathe, make note of what sort of intent makes the object pull upon your field. Breathe a little deeper as you feel the object pulling at you. Feel the pressure building in you, feel that electricity crackling along your veins and arteries, across your skin, through your hair, through your aura, and final EXPLODING INTO THE OBJECT WITH A ROAR AND BRIGHT LIGHT and fragments falling from the object...some small sparks sizzling out on the floor....perhaps a funny smell... The above exercise is largely an astral experience. However, I recommend practice with a compass at first. With only a small amount of practice, one should be able to affect the motion of the needle. This ability may be developed to affect electonic and/or electical machines, and with practice perhaps much further. Even without such obvious results, this exercise is useful for the destruction of targets on the astral plane. Repeated often enough, the astral image will affect the physical image. Keep in mind that, as with any combat magic, magicians are damned hard to kill due to the fact that they regularly make use of larger amounts of energy than your average human. Consequently, the magician who makes easy prey of mundanes may well find himself stymied when attacking a magician (who may or may not even be aware of the attack, only a heightened level of negative energy).

I Think I KnowAn Orange Evocation RiteBackground: The Archetypal form for this thoughtless work is the universal trickster. The trickster comes in many forms and guises. In this case we are dealing with the internal mental aspect. There is a voice inside our minds that thinks and speaks too much in many situations and draws us far from what we may already know. I think the answer to most of the un answered questions in our heads is not often found in long chains and labyrinths of psycho-babble thought, but the answer itself can usually be found in what we already know. . . but I don't really know. Preparation: - Chaotic instruments or recorded music playing changing rhythms to assist in inducing feelings of anxiety and discord.- Orange candles, enough that ritual space will be dimly lit.- Mercurial incense of some sort.- White paper and black pens to create Sigils. Sigil Preparation: All participants will create a personal sigil concerning something of themselves that often requires too much thought, or an aspect of self that undergoes a lot of self-criticism. When charged, this sigil will banish skepticism of a given ability/asp ect and will strengthen faith in the knowledge of given ability/aspect. Mantra from sigil statement will also be created to be recited when sigil is consecrated. Example Sigil statement form: "I know I am ( a ) __________ .""I know I will ___________.""I will to be ___________." Sigils will be created before entering ritual space. The Rite:

0. Opening with Thunderbolt , Vortex, Pentagram...etc. 1. Participants stand in circle and repeat statement of intent after M.T.: "It is our will to maintain control of our thoughts to access our hidden knowledge" 2. Participants stand anxiously as M.T. recites Invocation: "We call to the god of deceptionSneaky and CleverOh Great tricky bastard up highCoyote the Trickster, Loki, EnkiAnd by whatever other names you are calledLord of over-rational and irrational thoughtMaster of endless pondering and meditationsWe call the god of deception and quick thoughtLet us know what we thinkLet us think what we know 3. Tape or music begins, all walk around in nervous "pacing" circles while chanting "I Think" over and over with a sense of urgency and anxiety. 4. Music stops (about 10 min.) and chant changes to "I Know" and all are now calmly and confidently walking around each showing off sigils and repeating chant. 5. Chant builds to a scream of " I Know " and all consecrate sigils by whatever means appropriate. 6. Banish with laughter, thought, or other means.
