Hear me, Thou Lord of the Double Wand of Power. Hear Thou me, O Lord of Silence and of Strength. Show me Thy Way that I may follow Thee. Thee, in whose name is hidden and glorious, a splendor. I Invoke, I greet Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit. Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath. Supreme and terrible God That maketh the Gods and death To tremble before Thee: I adore Thee. Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu! Lighten the ways of the Ka The ways of the Khabs run through To stir me or to still me! Aum! Let it fill me! Aum Ha 5. The prayer of the Solstice. Homage to thee, O thou glorious Being, thou who art dowered with all attributes, O Ra Hoor Khuit, when thou risest in the horizon of heaven, a cry of joy cometh forth to thee from the mouth of all people. O thou beautiful Being, thou dost renew thyself in thy season in the form of the Disk within thy mother Nuit; therefore in every place every heart swelleth with joy at thy rising forever. The company of heaven rejoice at thy rising, the earth is glad when it beholdeth thy rays; the peoples that have been long dead come forth with cries of joy to see thy beauties every day. Thou goest forth each day over heaven and earth and art made strong each

day by thy mother Nuit. 6. With the wand draw the Unicursal Hexagram of the sun over the cakes of light 7. With the wand draw the Unicursal Hexagram of the Moon over the wine. 8. In an attitude of devotion pray the New AEON Lords Prayer: Now I begin to pray: Thou Child, Holy Thy name and undefiled! Thy reign is come; Thy will is done. Here is the Bread; here is the Blood! Save me from Evil and from Good! That Thy one crown of all the Ten Even now and here be mine. AMEN. 9. Partake of the sacrament. 10. Banish by the Star Ruby
