Now that's interesting~ rituals on Mp3 !!! Makes too much sense in a way ...

I just tried this for the first time a few minutes ago. Definitely much more grounded and centered, though really shaky and nervous for some reason. Everything seems much quieter, even with a train going by. Not sure why I suddenly feel so shaky and weak, almost couldn't even get the words out. But other than that, definitely feeling better.

Waya ~

Did you speak it put loud or use the taped version?

A gutsy thing to do - without a warm-up, I mean - but it does work; it really does!
 

Elven

From the Album - The Red Shoes - Lily Words and Music by Kate Bush.

Lily

Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the TRUTH
And do our WHOLE duty
As we journey to thy sacret feet

Well I said "Lily,
Oh Lily I don't feel safe
I feel like life has blown a great big hole
Through me"
And she said
"Child, you must protect yourself
You can protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me
Oh Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

I said "Lily,
Oh Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me
Oh Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

Diddly, do-a-do, do-a-do, do-a-do, do dum-dum-dum.
Grrrrr.

This is my space.

Oh, Gabriel before me
OohOh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

Oh Oh, Gabriel before me
Oh Oh, Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

Tarotbear, I spoke it out loud. Err, there's a warm-up? Heh, I must've missed that part.

Elven, what an awesome song!

By 'warm -up' I meant - did you read through it and practice it once or twice, or did you just plunge right in! Sometimes 'taking the plunge' is the best way to go. I congradulate you on your success.

Sounds like no warm up.

Anybody game for the Middle Pillar Ritual?

Thanks for the lyrics Elven, that's awesome.

One of the benefits of the ritual is that it really lights you up on the astral and is great if you want to be certain your shields are strengthened. I do it the same way as Regardie and Kraig do, with the hand/athame at my forehead travelling down to the solar plexus as I intone malkuth, etc. I also include the visualizations Regardie mentions about filling the universe with the astral body, when I extend my hands to do the archangel bit I visualize my fingertips touching the opposite ends of existence.

I just learned of this ritual yesterday and am furiously taking notes about it from a variety of sources.

I'm thinking this would be a good thing to do every morning as a daily ritual!
