🜂 Pathworking: Reclaiming the Solar Will from the Wetiko Ego

"From the Devil's mirror, through the fire of Lust, into the Balance of Truth"

🔮 Purpose

To illuminate, confront, and transmute the parasitic false ego (Wetiko) within the psyche, using the alchemical progression of the Thoth Major Arcana:
The Devil → Lust → Adjustment.
This is a path of shadow integration, kundalini awakening, and restoration of inner equilibrium.

🜁 Preparatory Invocation

(Facing East. Light a black candle and a white candle on either side of the Tarot cards.)

“By the Eye of Ayin, I See.
By the Flame of Babalon, I Burn.
By the Scales of Maat, I Stand.

I walk the paths of the Tree not in fear,
But in full knowing: I am the Light which no shadow can escape.”

🜃 Required Tools

• Thoth Tarot Cards: The Devil (XV), Lust (XI), Adjustment (VIII)

• Quartz crystal (for clarity), obsidian (for shadow work)

• Mirror (optional, for scrying)

• Journal to record insights

• Circle cast or ritual space if desired

🜄 Pathworking Sequence

1. Entering The Devil – ATU XV (Path of Ayin between Hod and Tiphereth)

"To see the trickster, one must gaze without flinching."

• Close your eyes. Visualize the Devil card in front of you. A great goat-headed figure, radiant with magnetism, stands before a veiled mirror. You feel his laughter, both mocking and magnetic.

• The mirror shimmers. Step through it. You enter a dimension of inverted truths—everything is exaggerated: fears, hungers, identities.

• See the faces of your false masks—each a version of you bound by fear, shame, desire, or the need to control.

• Recognize that none of these are you. Say aloud or internally:

“I see you. I do not feed you. I am the light you tried to hide from.”

• Witness the parasite (Wetiko) as a dark figure that flees from your growing awareness. Don’t chase it—simply watch. Shine presence upon it.

2. Passing Through Lust – ATU XI (Path of Teth between Chesed and Geburah)

"She who rides the Beast is the Will that masters Fire."

• The scene changes. You now stand before the Lady of Lust, Babalon, riding the Seven-headed Beast. She holds high the Holy Grail, overflowing with blood and light.

• She beckons you to drink—not to escape, but to awaken. The blood is the essence of life unshackled.

• Feel your inner fire—your passion, your vitality, your creativity—rise from your root and stir your spine like a golden serpent.

• As you drink, you reclaim your life-force from all that bound it. Declare:

“I am the Flame of Life. I am the Master of the Beast. I do not suppress—I transmute.”

• The Wetiko trembles here. It cannot remain where power is celebrated rather than feared.

3. Integration with Adjustment – ATU VIII (Path of Lamed between Geburah and Tiphereth)

"Only the Balanced One may stand before the Throne of Truth."

• You stand now in a temple of violet-blue light. The goddess Maat or a sword-wielding feminine figure stands at the center, eyes blindfolded, holding a scale and a sword.

• Place your false masks, your reclaimed flame, and the dying parasite upon the scales.

• Observe. Let the Adjustment occur. The sword of truth cuts through illusion, leaving only the I Am—the soul’s true balance point.

• Say aloud:

“I am the Will, I am the Flame, I am the Truth that cannot be weighed or bought. The balance is within me now.”

🜏 Closing Affirmation

(Face West, extinguish the black candle, then the white.)

“The false self is seen, the parasite dissolved.
The Beast within is crowned with love.
The Scales of Truth have restored my center.

I am the Light behind the Mirror.
I am the Fire that cannot be devoured.
I am the Balance that cannot be shaken.

So it is.”

✍️ Post-Pathworking Suggestions

• Journal what masks you saw, where you feel you’ve given away your power, and how Lust transmuted it.

• Revisit this path when you feel stuck in identity illusions, drained, or overly reactive.

• Repeat the ritual during a Capricorn Moon or Libra Moon for amplified results.
