A bit of a weird one I would say, and even the structure of the ritual is a bit weird. Because like the previous thread. It have the opposite structure of being done top-down instead of bottom-up.
Now to say that the following part is already done, it is only for your own information: The ritual begins by reading the current state of the astral, mediated by the Divine Feminine, the Virgin Mary or Sophia. It is a Eucharistic mystery of sorts; the emphasis is on becoming a vessel to receive the influence you are gathering. There is a knack to flipping the situation: you must work from the top down, from the highest to the lowest, rather than the other way around. Most of the part here, I already did it with the help of few spirits to help create the astral "skeleton" for the ritual before making the physical form which you see right now.
It's about putting the center where I want to start. It's about knowing that the center is within me, or the center is here. And we're trying to gather all this stuff in the four corners of the world, in the four corners of the swords, four corners of the universe. It could be four corners. It could be a multitude of corners. It could be eight corners. It could be nine corners, 10 corners.
What it says here is that all these points in the world, all these directions of the past, present, future, all incarnations, ancestral incarnations, divine incarnations, all of them should like come into the center. And of course, that means being swift in it. Working with the dead... the swiftness here is that the ritual shouldn't take too long.
I feel like at this point it is sounding a bit word vomit-y, but again just a background information on how it came about, to summarize the mind state you need to come to this ritual with is that you need to come to this ritual with the following mindset. Your past is the foundation, the force of power and your future is the transformative power for the materials in the past, YOU in the present are the one activating and empowering that point of activation/neutralization/empowerment. That's the whole reason why you would want to try this.
In essence you would be able to stand still and tap into the past and also stand still tap into the future also, you get more fluidity in your astral-mental body and more strength in your magical works.
Enough of that and let's get to the meat of it:
All you need for this ritual is a small vigil/shabbat/tealight candle and a glass of water or watered down wine.
light the candle and have the wine/water ready.
During the initial prayers until the invocation you should be keeping your hands lifted either in Priestly Blessings hand gesture or Orans gesture. Once you reach the actual invocation you should stand straight and still visualizing yourself/knowing in your heart that you're connected like bead to versions of yourself in all directions.(Like Indra's Net)
Prayer to Our Lady Star of the Sea
O Stella Maris, light of every ocean
and mistress of the deep,
guide [your children on earth]
across all dark and stormy seas,
that they may reach the haven of peace and light
prepared in him who calmed the sea.
Keep all your children safe from harm
for the waves are high and we are far from home.
As we set forth upon the oceans of the world,
and cross the deserts of our time,
show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb,
for without your Son we are lost.
Pray that we will never fail on life's journey,
that in heart and mind, in word and deed,
in days of turmoil and in days of calm,
we will always look to Christ and say,
"Who is this that even wind and sea obey him?"
O Help of Christians, protect us!
Bright Star of the Sea, guide us!
Our Lady of Peace, pray for us!
Scripture Reading
Ezekiel 18:25-32
25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear, you Israelites: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust? 26 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. 27 But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life. 28 Because they consider all the offenses they have committed and turn away from them, that person will surely live; they will not die. 29 Yet the Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are my ways unjust, people of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust?
30 “Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!
Ezekiel 36:22-38
22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.
24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. 30 I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices. 32 I want you to know that I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Sovereign Lord. Be ashamed and disgraced for your conduct, people of Israel!
33 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. 34 The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. 35 They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.” 36 Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’
37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Once again I will yield to Israel’s plea and do this for them: I will make their people as numerous as sheep, 38 as numerous as the flocks for offerings at Jerusalem during her appointed festivals. So will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
Invocation Proper
Stand straight at this moment.Lord God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I ask for your blessings. I ask for your guidance. I ask for your light. I pray to my ancestors, mother side, father's side. I pray to my saints and my guardian angel. I pray to those who know me and those who I don't know. I pray to the unnamed blessed spirits surrounding me. Through your intercession, I pray for your guidance to justify any mistake in my prayer and action.
That this vessel before me, that this Eucharist before me be blessed. The delight of the Virgin Mary through her guidance be transmitted to this Eucharist and that we are able to witness the grace given to us. I bless this Eucharist in front of me that may have the light, the love and the faith given by the Lord, that I am able to see and comprehend clearly those things transmitted to me by the spirit.
I call forth all my incarnations, those in the past and those in the future. I call into my incarnation in the past, those ancestral and those divine. I call in the incarnation in the future, those human and those not human. I call into all the incarnations, the possible, the impossible, I call unto my other selves in all the planetary realms. I call to my incarnation in planetary realms, elemental realms. In all the places between heaven and earth, between the past and the future, in the east, the west, the south and north.
O Lord of heaven and earth, Creator and Maker of all things visible and invisible; I, though unworthy, by thy assistance call upon thee, through thy onely begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord, that thou wilt give unto me thy holy Spirit, to direct me in thy truth unto all good. Amen.
Because I earnestly desire perfectly to know the Arts of this life and such things as are necessary for us, which are so overwhelmed in darkness, and polluted with infinite humane opinions, that I of my own power can attain to no knowledge in them, unless thou teach it me: Grant me therefore one of thy spirits, who may teach me those things which thou wouldest have me to know and learn, to thy praise and glory, and the profit of our neighbour. Give me also an apt and teachable heart, that I may easily understand those things which thou shalt teach me, and may hide them in my understanding, that I may bring them forth as out of thy inexhaustible treasures, to all necessary uses. And give me grace, that I may use such thy gifts humbly, with fear and trembling, through our Lord Jesus Christ, with thy holy Spirit. Amen
May all my incarnations in the 10 directions come to me directly now in this moment to be centered and to be consecrated in the glass in front of me, that as I drink this water, as I drink this wine I may be blessed. May I gain the fruit and wisdom of my past incarnation and of my future incarnation, may be able to comprehend with clarity and with faith and with love those wisdom transmitted from time immemorial from the past and unto the future, unto the generations.
Lord God the Father, the Virgin Mary, I ask that the glass in front of me be blessed and consecrated, that all the incarnations and all the selves of mine be connected to me immediately as I drink from this glass.
(Start moving here around the room) I offer this glass to the east. I offer this glass to the south. I offer this glass to the west. I offer this glass to the north. I offer this glass to heaven. I offer this glass to the earth. I offer this glass to God. May all who drink from this glass be blessed. May I have the wisdom, the blessings, and the guidance of my past incarnations and of my future incarnations. In peace and love, I say amen.
in the last section make sure to grab the glass and offer it to every directions.
Closure
Here you can give a simple thanksgiving from the heart, Psalm 150, or Te Deum. That's it, you should sit down and meditate on the connection you just established with the future and the past, your incarnations and abilities. Feel it, know it in your heart, and you can renew the ritual later if you feel like if you need the connection to strengthen.
Happy to hear from everyone how it goes.
Closing Thoughts
I didn't try to control "the process" it might be a bit weird to say I let the ritual grow organically but instead of a tree growing from the ground, it is the opposite growing from the sky/higher realms downward into the physical realm to become the ritual you read.
To give a rough summary of how I did it, I basically had the rough idea of what I wanted in my mind which is I want to rectify mistakes I had in the past and also get a more malleable future(my saturn return is coming next year with a retrograde saturn, DREADING it haha). Once I had the general rough idea of what I wanted to do then I just "jumped" into the spirit world with neoshamanism to get a few pointers from what my animal spirits want, then I ask my guide, my guardian angel and they all give me the green lights, rough pointer here and there. This is the part where I stayed silent about it for most of novemeber to let this astral fetus/ritual grow by itself.
I write all my notes then I let it macerate(like an oil infusion or a perfume), you want to let these insights and work their way out by themselves. Yesterday everything clicked and at once I lit up my altar, draw tarot cards and started speaking to myself like I am explaining a storybook of how I think the ritual should go and what is happening with it(that's the first 4-5 paragraphs). Afterward I stand up and pray to my spirits and ask for guidance on which prayer/which deity and where I should go, The prayer gestures come automatically. I ask for what prayers I should do, then I feel a slight hand flow toward my bookshelf, I close my eye and pick the book and flip through it and choose the verses and put bookmarks.
The last part which is the ritual proper proper, I take everything I put the glass of watered down wine and walk through it already knowing I did "everything", the invocation itself is from the heart is recorded and transcribed in the end.
Virgin Mary is the closest thing to a navigator in this ritual, and Ezekiel 18:25-32/Ezekiel 36:22-38 are like passwords of sort to the invocation. All of that is nothing I did myself and I did "intentionally". I already set the intention long ago and I try to let the rest of it take care by itself.
the end result is that you get a ritual space/meditation space that was already created and you can just "bask" in it/sit in it/meditate in it.
