THE RITE OF THREE RAYS

This Rite is the equivalent of a Druidic Gnostic Pentagram Ritual. One can use it when calling the quarters and elements, invoking deities or spirits or summoning and banishing.
Instead of the Pentagram, it uses a form known as the "Awen", which is three rays emanating from a central point.

The right (gold) ray represents the masculine attributes of the Sun, the left (silver) ray represents the feminine attributes of the Moon, and the center ray represents both and neither, the ray of possibility. This ritual can be used in various ways for numerous reasons. I use it for raising power, power gathering and enhancing any spells and/or rituals. I also use it instead of the invoking and banishing pentagrams used in casting and closing and releasing a ritual circle or grove working. It has also been proven to work rather effectively for any healings I perform used in conjunction with chants, incantations and the invocation/evocation of the appropriate deities and/or spirits. I would highly suggest using meditation before starting this rite as with any rite, spell or working. Some of my personal meditations are found on my Meditations page.

HOW IT IS DONE:

1. Raise the arms above the head, taking in a deep breath. As you lower your arms, intone the vowel "I" (pronounced “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”. Make sure that your breath ends just as your arms hit your side.

2. Repeat this last step, except intone "A" (pronounced “AHHHHHHHHH”, as you lower your arms.

3. Again, repeat this step, but intone "O" (pronounced “ooooooooooooo).

4. Finally, repeat the step, but intone all three sounds (I, A, O) together into one continuous sound and breath. Picture the rays as you create them with a mental image. The "I" is the left ray, the "A" is the middle ray, and the "O" is the right ray.

5. Try to take in just enough breath as needed to lower your arms and end just as your arms reach your sides.

This can also be used for drawing powers and energies to the caster. By simply inverting the awen (three rays) from /|\ to \|/ and reversing the process, one can also banish negative or otherwise malign energies, close and release a ritual circle or grove working, send forth energies gathered and spells cast.
