86 SELF-INITIATION INTO THE GoLDEN DAWN 'TRAomoN
DAILY ADORATIONS
It is important for a magician to feel a link with the Divine Source of the universe
every single day. In our modem secular society, human beings can easily become
detached from that which is spiritual. In order to reaffirm our awareness of ourselves
as beings who are a part of a greater Divine Self, it is important to make a
ritual gesture confirming a link between the Eternal and ourselves. This Eternal
Self is readily symbolized by the luminary of Sol, the Sun; the symbol of both
Light and Life on Earth.
Although the Divine Self is encompassed by the idea of One, Sol, as a visible
representation of the Divine is referred to four daily positions: East-Dawn,
South-Noon, West-Sunset, and North-Midnight. Consequently, an adoration
is directed towards Sol at each of these four positions.
Israel Regardie suggested that the student perform the four adorations
from Aleister Crowley's Liber Resh vel Helios. We will present these adorations
(adapted to include the Neophyte Signs in all four quarters) followed by our own
alternative version, Kheperu Nu Ra.The choice of which adorations to use is left to
the reader.e
LIBER RESH VEL HELlOS
At Dawn, face East. Make the Sign of the Enterer and say:
Hail unto Thee whoart Ra in Thy rising,
Evenunto Thee whoart Ra in Thy strength,
Who travelest overtheHeavens in Thy bark
At the Uprising of theSun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendor at theprow
And Ra-Hoor abideth at thehelm.
Hail unto Thee from theAbodes ofNight!
Give the Sign of Silence and stamp the left foot on the ground. At Noon, face
South. Give the same gestures as before.
Hail unto Thee whoart Hathor in Thy triumphing,
Even unto Thee whoart Hathor in Thy beauty,
Who travelest over theHeavens in Thy bark
At themid-course of theSun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendor at theprow
And Ra-Hoor abideth at thehelm.
Hailunto Thee from theAbodes ofMorning!
