Purpose: Align the rational mind with the Solar Logos; enter the Temple of the Solar Mind through the 6 of Swords (Thoth Tarot).
Ritual Tools:
Thoth Tarot 6 of Swords card
Yellow and gold candles
Frankincense or sandalwood incense
Optional: yellow, violet, or white garments
Opening Invocation (Face East):
"O Thou radiant harmony at the heart of light,
I call upon the power of Tiphareth,
The Sun behind the Sun,
The Logos within the Mind,
The Science of Spirit revealed through form.
By the sixfold blade of balance,
By Mercury swift in the house of the Water-Bearer,
May the gates of understanding open.
I enter the Pattern of the Holy Hexagram.
I align my mind to the Divine Proportion.
I breathe in the symmetry of Truth.
I cross the sea of confusion into the Temple of Gnosis.
So mote it be."
Breath Alignment (optional): 6-fold pattern
Inhale 4 counts (draw golden light into your mind)
Hold 2 counts (stabilize it)
Exhale 4 counts (release clutter)
Hold 2 counts (attune to stillness)
Repeat 6 cycles, visualizing the hexagram forming around your head

Guided Pathworking Visualization:
"The 6 of Swords floats before you. The card enlarges and glows.
The six blades spin into a radiant hexagram.
At its center blooms the golden Rose of Tiphareth.
Step forward. The rose opens. Enter the hexagram.
You are surrounded by crystalline air in a chamber of six silver pillars.
The night sky above, mirrored floor below.
You are in the Temple of the Solar Mind.
A radiant being approaches — the Angel of Tiphareth.
They wear planetary symbols; their voice resonates with clarity."
Ask the angel:
“What is the pattern behind my confusion?”
“How may I bring my mind into harmony with my soul?”
Receive what comes: a symbol, a book, a device, or a message.
"The angel places a glowing sword on your brow. It dissolves into your aura.
Mental clarity and balance settle into your being.
Step back through the rose. It closes. The swords return to stillness."
Closing Declaration:
"I return from the Temple of the Solar Mind.
Let the clarity remain. Let the pattern hold.
My thoughts are aligned with Light.
The Word of the Sun moves through me.
In harmony with Mercury,
Under the blessing of Tiphareth,
So mote it be."
