The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram
The Opening.

Stand in the center of the circle, feet together, facing east. Using your thumb, touch the center of your forehead, and vibrate "Ateh."

As you say "Ateh," imagine a beam of light coming down from the heavens, and forming a sphere or dome of brilliant white light, about nine inches across, above your head.

Note: Wherever a glowing sphere, column, or line is mentioned it should appear like a neon light, transparent or translucent with every point of its interior emanating light. Your body should be perfectly "transparent" to all these images; that is, the lines and column should pass through your body without being hindered by it in any way.

Still using your thumb, gesture slowly down the centerline of your body until your thumb is pointing at the ground between your feet.

As your gesture moves downwards, imagine a column of white light about 3 inches thick, descending from the sphere through the center of your body at the same rate of speed (as if you were "drawing" the column with your gesture). Feel the column as being filled with a vibrating energy that sets up a sympathetic vibration in your body wherever it passes.



Vibrate "Malkuth."



Imagine the column of light descending into the ground below your feet. Once there, it anchors itself in place and forms another ball of light; this ball starts out a dark red, but quickly becomes brighter and whiter as more energy feeds into it.



Touch your right arm at the level of your heart and vibrate "ve-Geburah."



Imagine a small sphere of light forming where you touch.



Move your hand horizontally to the same point on your left arm and vibrate "ve-Gedulah."



As you move your hand, imagine another line of white light being traced horizontally through the center of your body, intersecting the vertical column about where your heart is. When the line reaches your left arm, imagine another small ball of light forming there. Then imagine a flow of energy back and forth between them. Feel that energy as it passes through your body, and begins to produce a tingling sensation in your heart.



Make a clockwise circle about 6" across around your heart. Vibrate "le-Olahm."



As soon as you complete this circle, imagine a big pink rose blooming inside it, with its stem at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines of the cross. Feel the movements of its petals in your heart as it unfolds. When it is completely unfolded, imagine a rose-pink radiance being emitted from it in all directions. This radiance expands until it completely encloses the cross and your body.



Vibrate "Amen."

Bring your arms down to your sides, relax as much as you can while still standing straight, and take a few moments to appreciate and feel everything that you have visualized so far. You should generate in yourself a sense of satisfaction with what you have done so far, and joy in the result.
Let the above visualizations fade. Don't try to "erase" them, just stop giving attention to their maintenance. If they continue to exist without any effort on your part, that's fine. If they disappear, that's fine, too.
