Alternative Religion/ Ritual Magick / Rituals/ Mass of the Phoenix The Magician, his breast bare, stands before an altar on which are his Burin [knife], Bell, Thurible [censer], and two of the Cakes of Light. In the Sign of the Enterer he reaches West across the Altar, and cries: Hail Ra, that goest in thy bark Into the caverns of the Dark! He gives the sign of Silence, and takes the Bell, and Fire, in his hands. East of the Altar see me stand With light and musick in my hand! He strikes Eleven times upon the Bell 333 -55555 -333 and places the Fire in the Thurible. I strike the Bell: I light the Flame; I utter the mysterious Name. ABRAHADABRA He strikes eleven times upon the Bell. Now I begin
to pray: Thou Child, He puts the first Cake on the Fire of the Thurible. I burn the Incense-cake, proclaim These adorations of Thy name. He makes them as in Liber Legis, and strikes again Eleven times upon the Bell. With the Burin he then makes upon his breast the proper sign. Behold this bleeding breast of mine Gashed with the sacramental sign! He puts the second Cake to the wound. I stanch the Blood; the wafer soaks It up, and the high priest invokes! He eats the second Cake. This Bread I eat. This Oath I swear As I enflame myself with prayer: "There is no grace: there is no guilt: This is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!" He strikes Eleven times upon the Bell, and cries ABRAHADABRA. He goeth forth. Related resources: |
