The Sacred Star Ritual

I created this ritual as an alternative to the Kabbalistic Cross.

Center Yourself:

Stand with feet apart, facing forward.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath, centering yourself.

Expand Your Presence:

Visualize growing larger until the Earth is a small sphere beneath your feet.

Above your head, envision a brilliant sphere of divine light, radiant and powerful.

Draw the Light Downward:

Reach up with your hand or focus your mind on drawing the light down into your head.

As the light descends into you.

intone the word:“AΣKION.”

Trace the Light to the Left Foot:

See the brilliant light flowing downward, tracing a pentagram shape, until it reaches your left foot.

Intone the word:“KATAΣKION.”

Extend the Light to the Right Hand:

Extend your right arm outward to your side.

See the light move in a straight line from your left foot to your right hand.

Intone the word:“LIΞ.”

Extend the Light to the Left Hand:

Extend your left arm outward to your side.

See the light move from your right hand across to your left hand, forming another segment of the pentagram.

Intone the word:“TETPAΞ.”

Trace the Light to the Right Foot:

See the light flowing down from your left hand to your right foot, continuing the pentagram shape.

Intone the word:“ΔAMNAMENEYΣ.”

Complete the Pentagram:

See the brilliant light rising back up from your right foot to the top of your head, completing the invoking pentagram.

Intone the word:“AIΣION.”

Final Integration:

Stand still for a moment, feeling the presence of the sacred light surrounding and filling you.

Take a deep breath, grounding yourself in the ritual’s energy before continuing with your practice or meditation.

You may even want to recite the formula:
"AΣKION KATAΣKION LIΞ TETPAΞ ΔAMNAMENEYΣ AIΣION"

while envisioning the light tracing the Invoking Pentagram around and through your body.
