The Neophyte Grade 39
Walk to the station of Stolistes in the North where Auramoouth traces the sigil of
the cup before you. Take on the office of the Stolistes. Pick up the cup of Water. Go
clockwise to the East of the Hall. With the cup trace a cross in the air toward the
East. Then sprinkle Water thrice in the form of an invoking Water triangle. Trace
this same figure in all four quarters, going clockwise around the room. Upon
returning to the East hold the cup on high and say "I purifywith Water." Replace
the cup in the North, and return control of the officer-form to Auramoouth.
Walk to the station of Dadouchos in the South where Thaum-Esh-Neith traces the
sigil of the Fylfot Cross before you. Pick up the censer. Take on the office of
Dadouchos. Go clockwise to the East of the Hall. With the censer trace a cross in
the air toward the East. Then wave the censer thrice in the form of an invoking
Fire triangle. Trace this same figure in all four quarters, going clockwise around
the room. Upon returning to the East hold the censer on high and say "I consecrate
with Fire." Replace the censer in the South and return control of the officer-form to
Thaum-Esh-Neith. Stand once more by the West of the altar. Say:
LettheMystical Reverse Circumambulation take place in thepathway of
theLight.
All of the astral officer / godforms except the Hierophant (who stands holding
wand and banner) line up in the Southeast. The Hegemon takes you by the West
and South to stand in the procession. Following the lead of the Keryx, the counterclockwise
circumambulation begins. All salute with the Signs when passing the
Banner of the East. Imagine the Light that had been drawn into the temple slowly
beginning to fade. The Hiereus drops out after one pass of the East, and the Hegemon
drops out of the procession after two passes. You and the others, follow the
Keryx in a third pass. Perform the Reversal Sign of the Spiraling Light. All the
astral officers return to their places.
When finished, return to the East. Osiris traces the sigil of the cross and circle in
the air before you. You step into the office of Hierophant that Osiris has bestowed
upon you and take up the crown-headed scepter. Imagine the Divine Light that
you have brought into the temple being withdrawn from the symbol upon the
altar-back into your heartcenter and toward the Kether of the Universe. Perform
the Qabalistic Cross to equilibrate the energies within you. Say:
The Mystical Reverse Circumambulation isaccomplished. Itis thesymbol
oftheFading Light.
Facing East, perform the Adoration to the Lord of the Universe, saluting after the first
threelines with the Projection Sign. After the final line, give the Sign of Silence.
Holyart Thou, Lord ofthe Universe! (Salute.)
Holyart Thou, Whom Nature hath not Formed! (Salute.)
