Opening & Pre-Ritual Attunement

[Magus314]

What do you use to attune yourself before ritual?

I’ve tried different approaches depending on the work: Middle Pillar, the Pentagram rituals, the “Preliminary Rite” from Ars Vercanus, and PGM-style vowel rituals. Sometimes simple prayer is enough.

I’m interested in what helps others shift into the right state. Do you follow a fixed opening or adapt it to the rite?

This may come off sounding higher than thou, but I assure you it is not.

Th best way to be attuned to any magick is to live a life where you are attuned.

Unless I’m doing a specific ritual, these days, it’s either meditation, prayers, psalter work. Or often a combination of those. Depending on what I’m doing.

I do identifications with archetypes/spheres. This looks like pranayama to clear out my subtle body and then I do something called a yoga nidra using visualization, breathing, and counting working around to 61 different subtle energy points on the body. Ive modified it though so Im using metals and sigils on each point of the body to create a subtle energetic body that is identified with the sphere.

For example if im working with a Saturnian spirit ill clear out my body using pranayama and then slowly move "cold liquid lead" with his sigil to each subtle energy center and then at the end visualizing myself as made of lead. This way I am identified with the sphere before I begin the ritual and conjuration.
