The Rose Cross Ritual

The Rose Cross Ritual encloses the aura with a protection against outside influences. It is like a veil. The Pentagrams protect, but they also light up the astral and make entities aware of you. They are more positive for magical working. When much distracted, use the Pentagrams to banish and the Rose-cross to maintain peace.

It is also call to another mode of your consciousness and withdraws you from the physical. It is a good preparation for meditation and, combined with the Key-Word, a form of invocation of the Higher Wisdom which is helpful when solving problems or preparing for a difficult interview, or in order to be calm and strong to help another.

When you're familiar with the Ritual, but most certainly not before, it can be done in imagination while resting or lying down. Part of yourself goes out, and you get all the sensation of walking around your own quiescent body. Used thus, with rhythmic breathing, it will withdraw your mind from pain (if it's not too severe) and release you for sleep.

You can do the Ritual with intention to help others in pain or difficulty. For this purpose, you build up an astral image of the person, in the centre of the room, and call down the Light upon him, after surrounding him with the six crosses. When the ceremony is done, command the astral shape you have made to return to the person, bearing with it the peace of Yeheshuah.

The Rose Cross Ritual is a protection against psychic invasion from the thoughts of others or from disturbed psychic conditions, such as there might be in a place charged with fear, where terrible things had happened.

This ritual requires a lit stick of incense.

STEP 1. Begin at the southeast corner of your ritual area and face the corner. With the incense, draw a cross, and then a circle, not quite big enough to surround the cross. The circle represents the rose. As you make the circle, vibrate YEH-HAH-SHU-AH. Stab the circle on the last syllable and feel the rose being energized.

STEP 2. Draw a line from the center of that rose cross to the southwest corner. Repeat drawing the cross and rose, again vibrating YEH-HAH-SHU-AH.

STEP 3. Draw a line from the center of that rose cross to the northwest corner. Repeat drawing the cross and the rose, and once again vibrate YEH-HAH-SHU-AH.

STEP 4. Do the same again, this time moving to the northeast corner.

STEP 5. Move back to the southeast to complete the circle, but this time do not vibrate the word or redraw the cross.

STEP 6. Turn around to face the opposite corner, the northwest. Use the incense to draw a line from the rose cross at the southeast corner, above your head to the spot midway between the SE and NW corners. Draw the cross and rose and vibrate the word. Then draw from the NW corner, down to the midway point on the ground. Draw the cross and rose and vibrate the word. Complete the journey back to the SE corner. Now you have made a vertical circle between the SE and NW corners.

STEP 7. Move clockwise to the SW corner. Repeat Step 6, moving this time between SW and NE. As you pause in each direction, do not redraw the cross and rose, but point to where you drew them before, and vibrate the name. Complete the circuit at the SW corner again.

STEP 8. Move clockwise around the corners, from SW to NW, to NE, to SE, drawing a line around the room, and at each corner point to the spot where you drew the rose cross, as if stabbing the center of the rose again, and again vibrate the name.

STEP 9. When you get back to the SE, rest the point of the incense briefly at the center of the cross. Then do another cross and rose, only this time do them as big as you can. As you draw the bottom half of the circle, vibrate YEH-HAH-SHU-AH. As you form the top half of the circle vibrate YEH-HOH-VAH-SHAH.

STEP 10. Now return to the center of your ritual area and face east. See and feel the Rose Crosses which surround you. This is a protective sphere and aids in astral invisibility.
