this magical current. The Element is EARTH. Let us adore the Lord and
Kingof Earth!
Visualize the symbol of the Earth triangle that you meditated on before entering
the hall. Imagine its presence in your sphere of sensation around your feet and
ankles. Imagine that this same image is activated in all the various officer-forms of
the Hall. Then visualize a ball of white Light reflected into your Kether center-at
the crown of your head.
Thme leads you to the East of the temple. VISualizethe mummy-wrapped form of
Osiris strongly. The god traces in the air before you the figure of a cross and circle.
He then hands you his crown-headed scepter. Picking up the Wand of Power, you
take on the office of Hierophant that Osiris has bestowed upon you. Give the Sign
of the Spiraling Light, then say, "Letthewhitebrilliance oftheDivineSpirit Descend!"
Feel a flood of Divine Light flow through your body from the Kether of the universe.
Equilibrate this Light through your body by performing the Qabalistic
Cross, loudly vibrating the Hebrew names. Give one knock with the scepter. Say:
ADONAIHA-ARETZ. ADONAIMELEKH. Untothee betheKingdom
and the Power and the Glory. (Make the cross on yourself with the

behind Hegemon. (Your own position marks the apex of the Fire triangle of the
hexagram which points North, while the apex of the inverted Water triangle is
marked by the position of the altar.)
Through the authority of the office of Hierophant bestowed upon you by Osiris,
invoke the powers of the Earth Tablet. Give a knock, then trace with the scepter of
Power a large circle in front of the Tablet. Then draw the invoking pentagram of
Spirit Passive. As you do so, vibrate "NANTA" (en-nah-en-tah). Trace the sigil of
the Spirit wheel in the center and intone "AGLA" (Ah-gah-lah). Give the Sign of
the Spiraling Light. Then trace the invoking pentagram of Earth. As you do so,
vibrate the name "EMOR DIALHECTEGA."Draw the sigil of Taurus in the center
and intone "ADONAI." Give the Sign of Zelator. Then say:
