Self-Initiation
This ritual should be performed during the waxing moon, as close
to the full moon as possible. On the altar, a small dish of
anointing oil should be placed next to the water and bowl.
Draw the Circle using your forefinger, directing your power into
it. Take up the altar candle and, starting from the east and
moving clockwise, light the Circle candles in the four quarters.
Return to the altar and replace the altar candle. Place the tip
of your forefinger into the salt and concentrate your energy
into and say:
Ash is Life. Let this Ash be pure and let it purify my life as I
use it in this Rite, dedicated to the Aeons Above in whom I
believe.
Now take four pinches of ash and drop them, one at a time, into
the water. Stir the water four times around deosil
(sunwise/clockwise) with your finger and say:
Let the Sacred Ash drive out any impurities in this Water that
together they may be used in the service of these deities;
throughout these Rites and at any time and in any way I may use
them.
Take the bowl of ashen water to the east and walking deosil
(sunwise/clockwise), sprinkle it on the line of the Circle.
Replace it on the altar; take up the censer and again from the
east, go around the Circle once more, swinging the
incense-burner along its line. Return to the altar and replace
it and say:
The Sacred Circle is about me. I am here in Peace and in Love.
Dip your forefinger in the ashen water and mark a Luxist Symbol
on your forehead in the position of the Third Eye. Then mark a
pentagram on your chest over your heart. Say:
I now invite the Aeons to witness this Rite I hold in their
honor.
Hold your hand with finger pointing up high in salute as you now
say:
Phyarx; Barlos and Shvor; Aeons of the Elements, guard me and
guide me within this Circle and without it, in all things. So
shall it be.
Kiss your hand to the Aeons, then take up the bowl and smoke a
little as an offering to the Aeons with the words:
To Barlos (Lord and Lady)!
Take a smoke and then replace the bowl on the altar with the
words:
Now is the Temple erected I shall not leave it but with good
reason. So be it.
Sit or kneel before the altar, head bowed, and meditate for a
few minutes on the Ones Above, the Craft and what they mean to
you. Then stand and lift both hands high above the altar and
say:
Aeons of the Elements hear me now! I am here a simple Luxist
holding thee in honor. Far have I journeyed and long have I
searched, seeking that which I desire above all things. I am of
the trees and of the fields. I am of the woods and of the
springs; the streams and the hills. I am of thee and thee of me.
Lower your arms.
Grant me that which I desire. Permit me to worship the Aeons of
Light and all that they represent. Make me a Lover of Life,
Light and All Things. Well do I know the creed: That if I do not
have that spark of Truth within me, then will I never find it
without me. Truth is the Law and Truth is the Bond. All this I
honor above all else.
Kiss your right hand and hold it high.
My Lords and Ladies, here do I stand before you, naked and
unadorned, to dedicate myself to your honor. Ever will I protect
you and that which is yours for ever will I defend you. You are
my life and I am yours. From this day forth.
Dip your forefinger in the oil and again make the sign of the
Luxist Symbol on your forehead, and the pentagram over your
heart. Also, mark a triangle on your body touching first the
forehead, then your right breast, then left breast, then the
forehead again. Say:
As a sign of my rebirth I take unto myself a new name.
Henceforth I shall be known as (Name) for my life within Luxism.
So it be!
Now sit comfortably and, with eyes closed, meditate on what
Luxism means to you. It may well be that at this time you will
receive some indication that you are indeed in touch with the
Aeons. But whether you do or not, just let your feelings for
them and for Luxism flow from your body. Luxuriate in the
feeling of coming home; of having finally become one with the
Divine. When you have finished meditating, if you feel like
singing or dancing or celebrating in any other way, go ahead and
do so. Then, when you are ready, stand and raise both hands high
and say:
I thank the Ones Above for their attendance. As I came here in
love of them, I now go my way. Love is the Law and Love is the
Bond. So be it! The Temple is now closed.
