ROR LANSH ("The Sun in Power Exalted") -- Enochian Adorations of the Sun

These adorations of the Sun are based on Aleister Crowley's Liber Resh vel
Helios, rephrased and translated into the Enochian language. In place of
the adorations from the Book of the Law I have used the Second Angelic Key,
which is invocatory in nature, to call upon the energies of the Kings of
each direction, who represent the solar aspects of each element.

Sunrise

Face east, give the Sign of Fire, and intone:

BUSDIR C ILSI, BATAIVAH, AQLO IL UGEAR, ROR LANSH RAASY. ODO CICLE QUAA,
ZORGE, LAP ZIRDO NOCO MAD HOATH IAIDA.

("Glory unto thee, BATAIVAH, in thy strength, the Sun in power exalted in
the east. Open the mysteries of your creation, be friendly unto me, for I
am the servant of the same your God, the true worshipper of the highest.")

Noon

Face south, give the Sign of Water, and intone:

BUSDIR C ILSI, RAAGIOSL, AQLO IL TURBS, ROR LANSH BABAGE. ODO CICLE QUAA,
ZORGE, LAP ZIRDO NOCO MAD HOATH IAIDA.

("Glory unto thee, RAAGIOSL, in thy beauty, the Sun in power exalted in the
south. Open the mysteries of your creation, be friendly unto me, for I am
the servant of the same your God, the true worshipper of the highest.")

Sunset

Face the west, give the Sign of Air, and intone:

BUSDIR C ILSI, EDLPRNAA, AQLO IL MOZ, ROR LANSH SOBOLN. ODO CICLE QUAA,
ZORGE, LAP ZIRDO NOCO MAD HOATH IAIDA.

("Glory unto thee, EDLPRNAA, in thy beauty, the Sun in power exalted in the
south. Open the mysteries of your creation, be friendly unto me, for I am
the servant of the same your God, the true worshipper of the highest.")

Midnight

Face the north, give the Sign of Earth, and intone:

BUSDIR C ILSI, ICZHIHAL, AQLO IL ANANAEL, ROR DOSIG LANSH LUCAL. ODO CICLE
QUAA, ZORGE, LAP ZIRDO NOCO MAD HOATH IAIDA.

("Glory unto thee, ICZHIHAL, in thy secret wisdom, the Sun of night in
power exalted in the north. Open the mysteries of your creation, be
friendly unto me, for I am the servant of the same your God, the true
worshipper of the highest.")

In all cases, the intonation is followed by the Sign of the Enterer to the
appropriate direction, the Second Angelic Key, and the Sign of Silence.

NAZA OLPIRT ("Pillars of Light") - Microcosmic Energy Ritual

This ritual is completely microcosmic in nature and is based upon the
elemental natures of the seven chackras represented as the Watchtowers of
the Enochian system. While the symbolism moves beyond purely elemental
characteristics, the elemental basis of the attributions used confines
those characteristics to the elemental realm. Thus, the planetary
influences used here, for example, do not represent pure macrocosmic
planetary influences, but the planetary portions of each element. The same
is true of zodiac influences.

The Tablet of Union - Elemental Circuit

1. Make a clockwise circle above your head and intone MADRIAX ("O ye
Heavens") 9 times. Visualize a sea of luminous brilliance above you,
beyond and encompassing all colors.
2. Touch the center of your forehead and intone IAD ("God") 6 times.
Visualize energy akin to bright sunlight forming at this point,
sending its rays outward to the four cardinal directions. Do not
completely drop the visualization of luminous brilliance above you.
You are adding to your visualization, not replacing it. This
instruction holds true for all the following steps. If you know the
name of your Holy Guardian Angel, you may substitute it for IAD and
intone it a number of times equal to its gematria reduced to a single
digit.
3. Touch your throat and intone EHNB ("Spirit") twice. Here you should
visualize a sphere of the color of magick itself forming at this
point. Different magicians perceive the color of magical energy
differently. I use crackling electric blue, the color of electricity
passing through the air, but do what thou wilt.
4. Touch the center of your chest and intone EXARP ("Air") 3 times.
Visualize a sphere of vibrant green energy at that point.
5. Touch your solar plexus and intone BITOM ("Fire") 8 times. Visualize
a sphere of glowing red energy forming at that point.
6. Touch the lower abdomen just below the navel and intone HCOMA
("Water") 4 times. Visualize a sphere of pure white energy forming at
that point.
7. Touch the perineum and intone NANTA ("Earth" -- element) 6 times.
Visualize a sphere of solid black energy forming at that point.
8. Drop both hands to your sides and intone CAOSGO ("the Earth" --
planet) 4 times. Visualize the completion of a circuit that begins
above you in the heavens and descends below you into the deep earth.
Hold the visualization of the circuit as long as is comfortable or
appropriate.
9. Make the Sign of Osiris Risen and intone TA CALZ I OROCHA ("As above
the firmament so beneath you") as you visualize the energy you have
focussed at each of the points of your body descending below your feet
into the vast darkness of the deep earth, breaking the circuit. Feel
a wave of relaxation sweep over you from your head down to your feet,
sweeping any remaining tension into the deep earth along with the
grounded energy.

This version of the ritual activates the purely elemental energy circuits
of the body. I attribute the elements activated here to the functions of
the personality as detailed by Carl Jung. These functions are Thinking
(intellect - Air), Feeling (emotions - Water), Sensation (physical
perception -- Earth), and Intuition (inspiration - Fire). I also attribute
the element of Fire to will, in the sense that inspiration may be a
manifestation of the True Will or Holy Guardian Angel of the magician.
However, at this purely microcosmic level it is often difficult to
distinguish between will and immediate wants, which originate in external
conditioning and ego consciousness rather than the true self.

The Watchtowers - Planetary Circuit

Since the Watchtowers represent the directions and thus can be attributed
to the elements, it may seem odd to relate them to the planets. Since we
are still working with body energy circuits, what we are doing here is
fundamentally microcosmic and elemental in nature, but now we have moved on
from the undifferentiated elements of the Tablet of Union to the planetary
aspects of those elements. These are represented by the Kings and Seniors
of each quarter. In this exercise, the name of the King, attributed to the
Sun, is used to symbolize the combined action of the planets.

To activate the Planetary Circuit, expand the elemental version of the
exercise as follows:

1. After intoning EXARP and maintaining the visualization, intone
EDLPRNAA once. Trace the symbol of the Sun over the sphere, in red.
2. After intoning BITOM and maintaining the visualization, intone
BATAIVAH 3 times. Trace the symbol of the Sun over the sphere, in
green.
3. After intoning HCOMA and maintaining the visualization, intone
RAAGIOSL once. Trace the symbol of the Sun over the sphere, in black.
4. After intoning NANTA and maintaining the visualization, intone
ICZHIHAL 4 times. Trace the symbol of the Sun over the sphere, in
white.

The Planetary Circuit at this level is related to those aspects of the true
self that exist outside the bounds of normal ego consciousness excluding
archetypal forms.

The Banners - Zodiac Circuit

The twelve banners that ring the Enochian magick circle are attributed to
the signs of the zodiac. To activate the Zodiac Circuit, the three names
for each direction are added after the names of the Kings. The cardinal
zodiac sign attributed to each direction is used as the symbol for purposes
of visualization.

To activate the Zodiac Circuit, expand the exercise as follows.

1. After intoning EDLPRNAA and maintaining the visualization, intone OIP
TEAA PDOCE 7 times and visualize the symbol of the Sun reshaping
itself into the symbol of Libra, still outlined in red.
2. After intoning BATAIVAH and maintaining the visualization, intone ORO
IBAH AOZPI 6 times and visualize the symbol of the Sun reshaping
itself into the symbol of Aries, still outlined in green.
3. After intoning RAAGIOSL and maintaining the visualization, intone MPH
ARSL GAIOL 7 times and visualize the symbol of the Sun reshaping
itself into the symbol of Cancer, still outlined in black.
4. After intoning ICZHIHAL and maintaining the visualization, intone MOR
DIAL HCTGA twice and visualize the symbol of the Sun reshaping itself
into the symbol of Capricorn, still outlined in white.

The Zodiac Circuit is attributed to archetypal forms, which are the deepest
and most universal aspect of the true self at the microcosmic level. Once
all three of these circuits have been activated, the circuit may be
deactivated by concluding with the intonation of CAOSGO, or the magician
may began any additional ritual work as the Body of Light is now fully
energized at the microcosmic level.

The NAZA OLPIRT ritual can also be performed in reverse order for working
with chthonic forces and energies. Start by tracing a counterclockwise
circle on the ground around your body while intoning CAOSGO 4 times. Then
perform steps 1 - 7 in reverse order, visualizing the Body of Light
becoming energized from the ground up. For the final step, make the sign
of Apophis and Typhon as you intone TA CALZ I OROCHA. Visualize the energy
vacating your body upward into the heavens rather than downward into the
earth.

OADRIAX ("The Lower Heavens") - Macrocosmic Energy Ritual

Once the Body of Light has been properly energized, the next step of energy
work is to align it with corresponding macrocosmic influences. The planets
symbolize the macrocosm as the elements symbolize the microcosm. This is
the basic symbolism of the Pentagram and Hexagram rituals. The planetary
centers of the body are found in the subtle anatomy of the ceremonial Tree
of Life. The Planetary Kings, who symbolize the pure influence of the
seven ancient planets, are found in John Dee's Heptarchia Mystica. Their
purely macrocosmic nature perhaps explains why many modern magicians have
reported difficulty working with these particular Angels.

1. The first gesture of this ritual is identical with the first gesture
of the NAZA OLPIRT. Make a clockwise circle above your head and intone
MADRIAX ("O ye Heavens") 9 times. Visualize a sea of luminous
brilliance above you, beyond and encompassing all colors.
2. Touch the center of your forehead and intone BNAPSEN once. Visualize
a black sphere forming at that point, and then trace the symbol of
Saturn over the sphere in white.
3. Touch your left shoulder and intone BYNEPOR twice. Visualize a blue
sphere forming at that point, and then trace the symbol of Jupiter
over the sphere in orange.
4. Touch your right shoulder and intone BABALEL 8 times. Visualize a red
sphere forming at that point, and then trace the symbol of Mars over
the sphere in green.
5. Touch the center of your chest and intone BOBOGEL twice. Visualize a
golden sphere forming at that point, and then trace the symbol of the
Sun over the sphere in purple.
6. Touch your left hip and intone BALIGON 7 times. Visualize a green
sphere forming at that point, and then trace the symbol of Venus over
the sphere in red.
7. Touch your right hip and intone BNASPOL once. Visualize and orange
sphere forming at that point, then trace the symbol of Mercury over
the sphere in blue.
8. Touch just below the navel and intone BLUMAZA 4 times. Visualize a
white sphere forming at this point, and then trace the symbol of the
Moon over the sphere in black.
9. This gesture is identical to the eighth gesture of the NAZA OLPIRT.
Drop both hands to your sides and intone CAOSGO ("the Earth") 4
times. Visualize the completion of a channel that begins above you in
the heavens, passes through each of the energized points, and finally
descends below you into the deep earth. This is the "lightning flash"
of Kabalistic mysticism, the path of manifestation. If any additional
ritual work is being performed, it should be performed here.
10. This gesture is identical to the final gesture of the NAZA OLPIRT.
Make the Sign of Osiris Risen and intone TA CALZ I OROCHA ("As above
the firmament so beneath you") as you visualize the energy you have
focussed at each of the points of your body descending below your feet
into the vast darkness of the deep earth. Feel a wave of relaxation
sweep over you from your head down to your feet, sweeping any
remaining tension into the deep earth along with the grounded energy.
