12:30 PM May 14, Leo Rising

Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram Opening

Archangels, watch over me, bless me, protect me, and see to the success of this ritual.

Unfathomable creator, encompassing sustainer, unstoppable destroyer. Anything I can imagine, U have created, sustained, and destroyed. Anything I can imagine imagining, but not imagine, U have created, sustained, and destroyed.

Every conceivable universe operates by your will. U command the flow of time. No occurrence escapes your inspection. We know U by the splendor of your creation.

By my birth right as your son, allow me, for the span of this ritual, the following powers: access to root and source, control of branching, dominion over daemons, archons, and angels and understanding of destiny.

O blessed Helios, servant of the Agathos Daimon, my father in the sign of Leo, ruling the ascendent, in the tenth house, bring your light to me!

Hear me, O blessed one,
eternal eye that sees all,
Titan radiant as gold,
Hyperion, celestial light,
self-born, untiring,
sweet sight to living creatures.
On the right you beget dawn,
on the left you beget night,
you temper the seasons
as you ride your dancing horses,
you rush, you rush very swiftly,
O fiery and bright-faced charioteer,
you press on your course
in endless whirl.
Harsh to the impious,
you teach good to the pious
as you hold the golden lyre,
the harmony of cosmic motion,
as you command noble deeds,
as you nurture the seasons.
Piping lord of the world,
fiery circle of motion,
life-bringing, coruscating,
life-giving, fruit-bearing, Paian,
eternal and pure father of time,
O immortal Lord,
you are the clear, you are the brilliant,
you are the all-encompassing cosmic eye,
both when you set and when you shine
your lovely and radiant light.
A paragon of justice,
O water-loving lord of the cosmos,
you guard pledges and ever the highest,
you do help all.
Eye of justice and light of life,
O charioteer,
your screaming whip
drives the four-horse chariot on.
Hear my words and show
life’s sweetness to the initiates.

Helios, much honored, my patron, help me call forth Venus.

O beautiful Venus, servant of the Agathos Daimon, ruling in Taurus, in the tenth house, bring your light to me.

Heav'nly, illustrious, laughter-loving queen, sea-born, night-loving, of an awful mien;
Crafty, from whom necessity first came, producing, nightly, all-connecting dame:
'Tis thine the world with harmony to join, for all things spring from thee, O pow'r divine.
The triple Fates are rul'd by thy decree, and all productions yield alike to thee:
Whate'er the heav'ns, encircling all contain, earth fruit-producing, and the stormy main,
Thy sway confesses, and obeys thy nod, awful attendant of the brumal God:
Goddess of marriage, charming to the sight, mother of Loves, whom banquetings delight;
Source of persuasion, secret, fav'ring queen, illustrious born, apparent and unseen:
Spousal, lupercal, and to men inclin'd, prolific, most-desir'd, life-giving., kind:
Great sceptre-bearer of the Gods, 'tis thine, mortals in necessary bands to join;
And ev'ry tribe of savage monsters dire in magic chains to bind, thro' mad desire.
Come, Cyprus-born, and to my pray'r incline, whether exalted in the heav'ns you shine,
Or pleas'd in Syria's temple to preside, or o'er th' Egyptian plains thy car to guide,
Fashion'd of gold; and near its sacred flood, fertile and fam'd to fix thy blest abode;
Or if rejoicing in the azure shores, near where the sea with foaming billows roars,
The circling choirs of mortals, thy delight, or beauteous nymphs, with eyes cerulean bright,
Pleas'd by the dusty banks renown'd of old, to drive thy rapid, two-yok'd car of gold;
Or if in Cyprus with thy mother fair, where married females praise thee ev'ry year,
And beauteous virgins in the chorus join, Adonis pure to sing and thee divine;
Come, all-attractive to my pray'r inclin'd, for thee, I call, with holy, reverent mind.

O beautiful Venus, help me bring forth Jupiter.

O bountiful Jupiter, servant of the Agathos Daimon, in the tenth house, bring your light to me.

O Jupiter much-honored, Jupiter supremely great, to U this holy rite I consecrate,
my prayers and expiations, king divine, for all things round thy head exalted shine.
The earth is yours, and mountains swelling high, the sea profound, and all within the sky.
Jovial king, descending from above, magnanimous, commanding, sceptered Jupiter; All-parent, principle and end of all, whose power almighty, shakes this earthly ball;
Even Nature trembles at your mighty nod, loud-sounding, armed with lightening, thundering God.
Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-formed from whom all natures spring;
Propitious hear my prayer, give blameless health, with peace divine, and necessary wealth.

Helios, Venus, Jupiter I ask your help to bring our household the following boons:

Let us experience ease and grace in our work. Expand our compensation, bonuses, and stock. Showcase the best of our work. Influence our superiors to favor us. Help us nurture our coworkers and our reports. Grow our skills and capabilities. Shine a light on opportunities for advancement. Harmonize and regulate our teams. Let us rest in repose. Ensure us the spaciousness to enjoy our plentiful vacations. Secure our employment so that we may enjoy the fruits of our labor.

O Moon, servant of the Agathos Daimon, waxing in the first house and in reception with your ruler, Helios, bring your light to us. Hear, Goddess queen, diffusing silver light, bull-horn'd and wand'ring thro' the gloom of Night.
With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide Night's torch extending, thro' the heav'ns you ride:
Female and Male with borrow'd rays you shine, and now full-orb'd, now tending to decline.
Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon, whose amber orb makes Night's reflected noon:
Lover of horses, splendid, queen of Night, all-seeing pow'r bedeck'd with starry light.
Lover of vigilance, the foe of strife, in peace rejoicing, and a prudent life:
Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend, who giv'st to Nature's works their destin'd end.
Queen of the stars, all-wife Diana hail! Deck'd with a graceful robe and shining veil;
Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright, come moony-lamp with chaste and splendid light,
Shine on these sacred rites with prosp'rous rays, and pleas'd accept thy suppliant's mystic praise.

O Moon, Serene Selene, see that everything we've asked manifest here, in our earthly realm, as U have the power to do. **

Every conceivable universe operates by your will. U command the flow of time. No occurrence escapes your inspection. We know U by the splendor of your creation.

I relinquish the following powers: access to root and source, control of branching, dominion over daemons, archons, and angels and understanding of destiny.

I give thanks to U Selene I give thanks to U Jupiter I give thanks to U Venus I give thanks to U Helios I give thanks to U Agathos Daimon

I bid U all depart in peace.

Archangels, thank U, depart in peace.
