SELP-INrI1ATION INTO TIlE GoLDEN DAWN 'fRADmoN
both of your hands over your heart center, one hand crossing the other. VISualize
a great brilliant Light which occupies a space that is both above you and beyond
you in the East. As you contemplate this Light, visualize the figure of a white triangle
traced in the brilliance before you. The white of the triangle shimmers and
pulses iridescently.
When the vision is very strong, bring your right hand straight out in front
of you and your lefthand justin front of your heart area, palmoutward. With your
righthand, trace a large spiralin the air in front of you (begin at the outer left-hand
edge of the spiral and go clockwise). Bring the spiral slowly in toward you as you
trace it. When your right hand reaches your left hand, join both hands together
with the fingers interlocking and turn them so that the knuckles of your hand
touch your heart area, and the palms face outward. This is the Sign of the Spiraling
Light. (please note that this is not a traditional grade Sign of the Golden Dawn,but
one that we have provided for the purpose of this course.) As you perform this,
visualize the Divine Light spiraling in a funnel shape toward you. Say the words,
"Let thewhite brilliance oftheDivine Spirit descend!" As you do so, feel a flood of the
Divine Light course through your entire body-from your head to your feet. The
Light then centers itself at your heart area. Beaware of the connection that exists
between your body and the universal Light. Equilibrate this Light through your
body by performing the Qabalistic Cross.
Then say the words, "Khabs Am Pekht, Konx Om Pax, Lightin Extension."
Make three complete clockwise circuits around the boundaries of your temple
space, all the while envisioning that you are carrying the Divine Light around the
temple in a spiral of energy from the area of your heart. After completing the third
circumambulation, return to the East and face West. Imagine the white triangle of
Light firmly established in the center of your temple space. See it vividly.
