[center]Ritual of the Pelican
by Frater Solvitur Ambulando, V.V.V.V.V.
Let the Magician,
armed with his Rood,
or, if appropriate, the Cup,
and, with the sound of his Mantra
on his lips, sit in his Asana and
inflame himself with prayer.
All High Arts must be unto Nuit!
There be stars infinite in front of thee.
There be stars infinite behind thee.
There be stars infinite above thee.
There be stars infinite below thee.
There be stars infinite about thee.
Thou art a star.
At the height of the Magician's power, the whirlings commence.
The Chakras, it is not for me to say which, or in which order, are stimulated, and the hound breaketh the leash.
Say: O Nuit, continuous one of
Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of thee as One but as None; and let them speak not
of thee at all, since thou art continuous.
And: Lord most secret, bless this spiritual food unto our bodies, bestowing upon us health
and wealth and strength and joy and peace, and that fulfilment of will and of love under will that is
perpetual happiness.
Starting and finishing at the Anahata Chakra and with both hands in the Wand Mudra, make a gnostic cross from the highest to the root of the phallus (if seated, or as large as possible if standing). While bringing the hands together to from the horizontal, intone the sacred syllables:
FIAOF
(thus ends the short form)
After a span of meditation (or specific Work needed), trace an Holy Heptagram, and while giving the Signs of your True Grade, as you currently comprehend it, sing:
In Nomine BABALON
Give the Sign of the Enterer while intoning, or whispering, or exclaiming:
ABRAHADABRA
Sign of Harpocrates
(Is the Sign of Harpocrates
always the Sign of Silence?)
