Star Ruby
This is
the updated version printed in Crowley's Magick in theory and practice.
The Star Ruby is Crowley's answer to the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram.
Facing
East, in the centre, draw deep deep deep thy breath closing thy mouth
with thy right forefinger prest against thy lower lip. Then dashing
down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy
breath, cry APO PANTOS KAKODAIMONOS [away all evil
demons]. With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say SOI,
thy member, and say O PHALLE, [The secret
sense of these words is to be sought in the numeration thereof.],
thy right shoulder, and say ISCHUROS, thy left shoulder,
and say EUCHARISTOS; then clasp thine hands, locking
the fingers, and cry IAÕ. Advance to the East.
Imagine strongly a Pentagram, aright, in thy forehead. Drawing the hands
to the eyes, fling it forth, making the sign of Horus and roar THÉRION.
Retire thine hand in the sign of Hoor-paar-Kraat.
Go round
to the North and repeat; but say NUIT.
Go round
to the West and repeat; but whisper BABALON.
Go round
to the South and repeat; but bellow HADIT (hah-deet).
Completing
the circle widdershins, retire to the centre and raise thy voice in
the Paian, with these words IÕ PAN, with the
signs of N.O.X.
Extend
the arms in the form of a Tau and say low but clear:
PRO MOU IUNGES OPICHÕ MOU TELETARCHAI EPI DEXIA CHUNOCHES
EPARISTERA DAIMONOS PHEG EI GAR PERI MOU O ASTÉR TÕN PENTE
KAI EN TÉI STÉLÉI Õ ASTÉR TÕN
EX ESTÉXE.
Repeat
the Cross Qabalistic, as above, and end as thou didst begin.
