Preparation:

• Altar: Oriented toward the south or aligned beneath Orion’s celestial position.

• Symbols: Orion constellation image, white or deep-indigo candles, incense (frankincense or myrrh), chalice of purified water, dagger or sword representing Zayin (discernment).

• Attire: White or dark blue robe symbolizing celestial consciousness.

Opening:

Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) to cleanse and prepare the sacred space.

Invocation of Orion’s Celestial Gate:

Face Orion (south or celestial alignment), raise arms upward, and recite:

"I invoke the celestial hunter, Orion, Guardian of cosmic gateways, Initiate’s guide through astral thresholds. Orion, mighty warrior of the starry heavens, illuminate my path with courage and clarity, Guide my soul beyond the shadows of ignorance."

Lighting the Candles:

Light each candle, intoning:

"By these flames, I awaken celestial fire, Orion’s stars, ignite within my soul. Spirit, Mind, Body—aligned in cosmic harmony."

Hermetic-Qabalistic Invocation:

Visualize Orion’s belt as three radiant stars aligning vertically above your head, corresponding with:

• Alnitak (Lower Star): Symbolizing Malkuth, grounding the initiate.

• Alnilam (Middle Star): Symbolizing Tiphareth, solar heart of cosmic illumination.

• Mintaka (Upper Star): Symbolizing Kether, pure celestial consciousness.

Declare:

"Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Stars of initiation, keys to celestial gates, Activate the Middle Pillar within me. From Earthly foundation (Malkuth), Through Solar illumination (Tiphareth), To celestial purity (Kether), I ascend the astral path, empowered and clear."

Astral Journey Visualization:

Envision clearly the stars of Orion descending as pillars of silver-blue light, surrounding you in a luminous triangle, opening a portal above your crown chakra.

State clearly your intention:

"I journey forth beyond fear, Through shadows into wisdom, Guided by Orion, Guardian of the threshold, Strengthened by clarity, emboldened by courage. Reveal to me, star-born warrior, insights divine."

Enter into a deep meditative state. Visualize yourself ascending upward through Orion’s stellar gateway, receiving illumination and guidance.

Integration (Returning to the Physical Realm):

Slowly bring your awareness back to your physical body. Clearly visualize Orion’s silver-blue energy sealing into your aura, fortifying your spirit.

Proclaim:

"Returned am I, empowered by starlight, Clarity and courage now mine, Initiated and renewed, Orion’s wisdom guides my path. My consciousness is clear, darkness dispelled, I walk in balance, strength, and cosmic truth."

Closing:

Thank Orion respectfully:

"Great Orion, initiator and guardian, Gratitude unto you for your wisdom and guidance. Depart in peace, yet remain forever near. As Above, So Below."

Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram once more to ground and seal the energies.

Aftercare:

• Drink purified water to ground yourself.

• Record your experiences and insights in a magical journal to integrate the wisdom revealed.
