Housing Ritual 2

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 and archons, and understanding of destiny.

O blessed Helios, servant of the Agathos Daimon, U whose hand is this moment, who rules over this day, bring your light to me!

Light the candle

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, ruler of this day: aid me in my aim, bring forth Venus that I may petition her.

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.

Venus, much honored, ruler of my fourth house, strong in your rulership of Taurus and ruler of this ascendent: aid me in my aim, bless all my workings and grant me dignity and wisdom.

Venus, most beautiful and gracious goddess! U rule over my home and hearth from a position of rulership. Bless my marriage and bless our future home. Aid Daria, Kitkat, and me so that we may live in Claire Chadwick and Zeilend Powell's building at 475 Herkimer St Brooklyn, NY. May we move there under favorable circumstances. May our finances, pleasures, desires, love, health, and joy all flourish in our home.

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.

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

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.
