Author’s Note: This ritual was born in a few different places, but achieved its height
when our Brother Kallah Adonai passed away last November. Up to that point, I
had an incredibly strong desire to write a ritual for our Lodge that got people out
of their heads and experiencing ritual within their bodies. As such, as you read
through this, you will notice that it is not necessarily a lack of hermetic symbolism,
but rather an increase in the physical essence and embodiment of the emotions
within the participants that is the focus.
I would like to thank Sekhet-Maat Lodge and its members for supporting me in
this Endeavour and for taking part in this ritual. Without my Brothers and Sisters
to support me in my way of going, my path would be lonely indeed.
