The Rose Cross Ritual

There are five main reasons for doing this ritual:

1.  It is an excellent banishing ritual, although it is quite different from
the LBRP.  It works like a curtain containing your aura, thus you do not draw
any attention from any negative or positive influences.

2.  The curtaining effect induces a type of invisibility to the world around
you; if people are not looking for you in particular, you will tend to be
ignored.

3.  This ritual is a good preparation for meditation.  It works by calling
forth your higher-self.  thus, it can be helpful when doing a problem-solving
type of meditation.

4.  You can do this ritual with the aim of aiding others who are hurting either
physically or spiritually.  Simply build up, in your mind, an image of the
person you wish to help.  Place that image in the center of the room where you
will be doing the ritual.  Draw down the Light upon the image of the person you
are aiding.  Tell the figure to go back to the real person and take with it the
grace of Divinity.

5.  Sometimes, you may find yourself in a place where there are "negative
psychic vibrations".  This ritual will not so much banish the negativity in the
area as it will protect you from the "invasion" of your psychic body, your
astral self.

STEP ONE:  Perform the Relaxation Ritual.

STEP TWO:  If it is appropriate, do the LBRP.

STEP THREE:  Your tool for this ritual is a lit stick of incense. Any scent you
like will do.

STEP FOUR:  Go to the southeast (SE) corner of your area and look away from the
center of your circle.  Make a large cross in the air and draw a circle within
it.  As you form the circle (the rose), vibrate the god name Mercury and
Venus_.  As you finish saying the name, you should stab the center of the cross
with the lit tip of the incense and feel the energy going out and charging the
symbol.

STEP FIVE:  Point the incense to the center of the cross.  Keeping the lit
point of the incense on that level, move to the southwest (SW).  Make the cross
and rose and stab the center.  As before, vibrate Mercury and Venus_

STEP SIX:  Repeat the process, only this time moving to the northwest (NW).

STEP SEVEN:  Repeat, moving to the northeast (NE).

STEP EIGHT:  In a similar manner move to the SE, completing the circle.  Do not
reform the rose cross figure or vibrate the word.

STEP NINE:  Again, pointing to the center of the cross in the SE, turn to face
the direction diagonally across the room, the NW.  Now bring your incense high
into the air and walk towards the NW.  In the center of the room, stop and make
the rose cross above your head while vibration Mercury and Venus.  Point to the
center of the figure, and with the incense still high in the air, move to the
NW corner and bring your incense to the center of the rose cross already made
in this corner.  do not reform the figure or vibrate the Names here.

STEP TEN:  Now move back to the SE, but with the incense held at arms length
pointing down towards the ground.  Stop in the middle of your area and form a
rose cross and vibrate the Names below you, still pointing at the ground.
Point again to the center of this cross, and with the stick pointing down, move
to the SE and bring the tip of your incense to the center of the cross formed
here.  Do not redraw the Rose and Cross or vibrate the names in this corner.

STEP ELEVEN:  Point to the center of the SE cross, then walk in a clockwise
direction to the SW corner.  Point to the center of the cross and vibrate the
names.

STEP TWELVE:  With the incense held above your head, move diagonally to the NE.
Stop at the middle to re-vibrate the Names, without forming the symbol above
your head.  When you reach the NE, point to the center of the figure already
formed there, then move back with the incense pointing down to the SW.  Of
course, stop at the center to re-vibrate the Names below you.

STEP THIRTEEN:  Point to the center of the cross here in the SW.  Keeping the
incense on this level, go in a clockwise direction around the circle, pointing
to the center of each cross.  (SW to NW to SE to SW)

STEP FOURTEEN:  When you return to the SW, rest the point of the incense for a
moment on the center of the cross.  Then remake the cross, only do it in a
bigger size, as big as you can male it.  Make the circle bigger too.  As you
slowly form the bottom half of the circle vibrate Mercury and Venus_.  As you
slowly form the top half of the circle vibrate Mercury's son, Venus' daughter_.

STEP FIFTEEN:  Now go to the center of your area, face east, and visualize the
six Rosy Crosses around, above and below you. The crosses should be golden in
colour, and the lines connecting them should be a brilliant white.  The "roses"
should be bright red.  Thus, you have a protective sphere all around you.

STEP SIXTEEN:  Now do the analysis of the Key Word from the BRH. Start from the
vibrating of the INRI through "let the divine light descend".
