Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram but with a Graeco-Egyptian theme. Contributed by Vala.

Message : Credit for the PGM Opening Rite goes to Tony Mierzwicki who pieced it together from various parts of the PGM (Greek Magical Papyri). It makes up part of his excellent book, Graeco-Egyptian Magick, which is a study in planetary theurgy. I have personally adapted other parts from his book to form this entire ritual which is intended to be like the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram but with a Graeco-Egyptian theme. Please enjoy

 

 

Part One: Invocation of Aion

 

Stand in the East and face East. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air before you. Say:

 

I call on you, who are greater than all, the creator of all

You, the self-begotten, who see all and are not seen

For you gave Helios the glory and the power

Selene the privilege to wax and wane and have fixed courses

Yet you took nothing from the earlier-born darkness

But apportioned things that they should be equal

For when you appeared, both order arose and you appeared

All things are subject to you

Whose true form none of the Gods can see

Who change into all forms

You are invisible, Aion of Aion

 

 

 

Part Two: Calling the Sevenths to Induce Equilibrium

 

Still facing East visualize a bubble of energy forming around you. Stretch your right hand to the left and likewise your left hand also to the left, vibrate A

Face North, putting forth your right fist, vibrate E

Face West, extending both hands in front of you, vibrate E

Face South, holding both hands over your stomach, vibrate I

Face East, touch the floor, vibrate O

Place your hands on your heart, vibrate U

Look into the sky, vibrate O

 

 

 

Part Three: Invocation of Ogdoas

 

Face East, say:

 

I call on you, eternal and un-begotten, who are one

Who alone holds together the creation of all things

Whom none understands, whom the Gods worship

Whose name not even the Gods can utter

Inspire from your breath, ruler of the pole

Him who is under you, create a ritual space

 

 

 

Part Four: Invocation of the Planets and Their Gods

 

Still facing East, visualize a Silver swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the East, I call you as (vibrate) AKTIOPHIS

 

Face South, visualize a Gold swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the South, I call you as (vibrate) ACHEBUKROM

 

Face West, visualize a Blue swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the West, I call you as (vibrate) ILAOUCH

 

Face North, visualize a Yellow swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the North, I call you as (vibrate) PSUCHOPOMPOIAPS

 

Face EAST and look down, visualize a Red swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the Earth, I call you as (vibrate) ORTHIARE

 

Remain facing EAST and look straight ahead, visualize a Purple swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the Air, I call you as (vibrate) ZAS

 

Remain facing EAST and look up, visualize a Black swirling vortex of energy. Trace a seven-pointed star in the air and say:

 

I call on you in the Cosmos, I call you as (vibrate) KRONOS

 

 

 

Part Five: Second Invocation of Aion

 

Remain facing East, open yourself to the universe and say:

 

Open, open the four quarters of the Cosmos

For the Lord of the Inhabited World comes forth

Gods and daimons rejoice

For Aion of Aion, the only and transcendent

Invisible, goes through this place

Open door, hear bar, fall in two parts

 

 

Brief Commentary

The purpose of this ritual to experience the energies and deities of the seven Classical planets; Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. The Vibrational words are magical titles of various deities as recorded in the PGM who are attributed to the plants and are as follows:

 

Aktiophis: Selene the Moon

Achebukrom: Helios, the Moon

Ilaouch: Aphrodite, Venus

Psuchopompoiaps: Hermes, Mercury

Orthiare: Ares, Mars

Zas: Zeus, Jupiter

Kronos: Kronos, Saturn

 

The tracing of the seven pointed star invokes the seven planets.
