Maggidim, and let them remember the Way of the Righteous Warrior – let them speak their Vow inHoly Remembrance.Then let the Templar pray for the manifestation of the Holy Sanctuary and guardianship of theContinuum of Light Transmission on earth, and let them pray for the shattering of the dominion of theklippot, liberation from the domination of the demiurge, and the driving out of the darkness from thepeople and the land – all in remembrance of the Risen Messiah and Shekinah of Messiah, the Lord andHoly Bride.Let the Templar turn to face the West and let them turn the sword to point down towards the earth,let them pray for the fruition of the Divine Revelation and Peace on Earth – the fruition of Supernal orMessianic Consciousness in humanity, and let them give honor to those who have sojourned in theGrail Quest before them, those who have labored before them for the Second Coming, the “Receptionof the Holy Bride”.Then let the Templar turn and face the North, and let them sheath the sword and pray for theembodiment of the Truth and Light, and the extension of the True Light in the world – all in theremembrance of the countless world-systems through which the Light Transmission has passed beforeentering into this Good Earth.At the conclusion of this prayer, let the Templar intone AGLA; and as they turn to face the East onceagain let them intone Atoh Givor Leolam Adonai; then, facing East, let them proclaim: You are heroicfor the world, O Lord!Then let the Templar lay down the sword and let them pray for the people, and let them give praiseand thanks to El Elyon, the Divine Most High, and giving glory to the Name of the LORD.In closing, let them speak the Holy Seal, offering the glory of the practice to El Elyon and dedicating themerit generated to the people – to all sentient beings.This concludes the practice of speaking the Holy Vow before the Great Maggid.Occasionally, a Wedding Feast (or Holy Eucharist) may be included as part of this ceremonialpractice; typically as an extension of the practice at the end.In essence, this is a method for clearing a space of negative forces and manifesting sacred space. Thus,Templar initiates will often modify this practice, removing the speaking of the vow when helping tomanifest sacred space in service to the Continuum and Priesthood (the Sanctuary of Bet El); but whenmanifesting sacred space for their own theurgic work the speaking of the vow remains in place.On a Templar altar there is often the Sword and Grail, three candles (white, red and black), across, a container of holy water and vial of holy oil, and there may also be images of the Masterof the Order (Yeshua Messiah) and Our Lady (or else the Virgin Mother).
