Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1993 21:36:18 GMT Here's a relatively "unhitched" ritual without some of the elements of tradition and belief common in GD->OTO rites. Gnostic Banishing Ritual: -Face any direction that is comfortable and appropriate. -Prepare your mental/spiritual energy or soul fire as fit. -Begin the vibration of the following vowels visualizing them engergizing the appropriate body zones: I (EEE) : Top of head or third eye E (EHH) : Throat/ Voice Box A (AHH) : Heart or theoretical soul center area O (OHH) : Navel or just below U (OOH) : Genitalia or perineum -Begin Loop: :After completing this, starting in the direction you are facing draw a pentagram or other five-node figure in the air with wand, dagger or what-have-you. At each of the five nodes, emphasize one of the vowels in the order above, or at least in the order you choose to vibrate. :Turn 45 degrees in either direction (widdershins or counter clockwise is traditionally used to banish) :IF (facing point at which you started) // Eventually zap 8 nodes Break loop -End Loop: -End as you began, vibrating the vowels while empowering your body. Hope this helps you decide I spend too much time w/computers && !people as well as your own concerns. Coyote 75 lucero@spot.colorado.edu
