34 SELF-INITIATION INTO THE GoWEN DAWN TRADITION
Return the cup and the censer to the stations in the North and South. Thme leads
you to the West of the altar facing East. She remains on your right side. Hiereus
comes to your left side. Stolistes, Keryx and Dadouchos form a triangle behind
you. The Hierophant descends from the East in the godform of HOOR OUER,
Horus the Elder. He holds the crown-headed wand and the Banner of the East. As
the godform advances between the pillars, say:
Come thouin thePawer of the Light. Come Thou in theLightof Wisdom.
Come Thou in theMercy of theLight. TheLighthathhealing in its Wings.
Kneel down and visualize all the officer/ godforms except the Hierophant doing
likewise. For a moment, dose your eyes and visualize before you the godform of
HOOR-PEKHROTI (Hoor-Pay-Khroh-tee) the child-god of Silence seated upon a
white lotus. The Hierophant then gives a knock. Say the following invocation and
imagine all the godforms repeating the invocation along with you:
Lord oftheUniverse-the Vast andtheMighty One! RuleroftheLightand
theDarkness! Weadore thee andweinvoke thee! Look withfavor upon this
Neophyte who naw kneeleth before thee. And grant thine aid unto the
higher aspirations ofhis (her) soul, sothats/hemay prove a trueandfaithful
Frater (Soror) Neophyte. To thegloryof Thine Ineffable Name. Amen.
Rise and envision the officer/ godforms doing likewise. Visualize the three main
officers crossing their implements over your head. They speak,
Inheritorof a dying world,we call thee to the living beauty. Wanderer
in the wild Darkness, we call thee to the gentle Light. Long hast thou
dweltin Darkness-Quit the Nightand seekthe Day! We receive thee
into the currentof the GoldenDawn.
(Say:) KHABS. AM. PEKHT. KONX. OM. PAX. LIGHT. IN.
EXTENSION.
Feel a white Light forming over your head in the shape of a triangle. The officers
take down their implements.
(Say:) In allmy wandering thelamp of theKeryxwent before me, though
it was not seenby mine eyes. It is the symbolof the Light of the Hidden
Knawledge.
Thme leads you to the East of the altar, where you visualize that you are treading
down a black serpent, a symbol of your own evil and unbalanced persona.
Thme remains on the outside of the white pillar. The astral form of Horus steps
forward between the pillars to instruct you in the step, signs, grip, and words of
a Neophyte.
