So, I wrote this ritual and did it last night, for my birthday. I now have some critiques of my own ritual which I will go into in another post, but it worked well enough so I am sharing it here anyway. 

Caps are used to indicate everything that is NOT a spoken part of the script.

This ritual involves a temporary self-piercing. Do not attempt self-piercing without knowledge of how to do it properly or without sanitary supplies. I used self-piercing because I am a kinkster who has done many safe play piercings on myself and others, and because I am a masochist who is comfy using endorphins to induce an altered state. The point of that part of the ritual is to connect with and honor yourself. Use an alternative if self-piercing is not right for you! I am sure you can figure something else out. 

NEEDED SUPPLIES:

• CHALK OR SOMETHING ELSE TO MAKE THE CIRCLE/PENTAGRAM ON THE GROUND
• TAROT CARDS TO REPRESENT DIRECTIONS– I USED THE ACES OF ALL SUITS AND THE MAGICIAN FOR THE CENTER
• FEATHER
• CANDLE OR INCENSE AND MATCHES/LIGHTER
• WATER AND BOWL/JUG/BOTTLE TO HOLD IT– MY FRIEND GAVE ME A BOTTLE OF ECLIPSE WATER AT THE LAST SECOND, WHICH WAS REALLY NICE!
• RED GRAPES OR OTHER FRUIT THAT PARTICIPANTS CAN ALL EAT/ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO, AND BOWL FOR THE SAME
• NEEDLES FOR RITUAL PIERCING
• RUBBING ALCOHOL AND OTHER SANITARY SUPPLIES FOR RITUAL PIERCING/ACCESS TO FIRST AID SUPPLIES/BANDAGES IN CASE OF TOO MUCH BLOOD
• SHARPS CONTAINER FOR SAFE DISPOSAL OF NEEDLES

INSTRUCTIONS

THIS RITUAL IS DESIGNED TO BE PERFORMED ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. YOU CAN ADAPT IT FOR OTHER OCCASIONS.

DRAW CIRCLE WITH CHALK. USE A COMPASS TO FIND THE DIRECTIONS, AND MARK THEM ON THE GROUND. DRAW THE SIGIL OF LUCIFER IN THE CENTER. OR MAKE IT A BIG PENTAGRAM. DO WHAT THOU WILT.

TAROT CARDS ARE USED TO REPRESENT LUCIFER’S ASPECTS IN THE FOUR ELEMENTS—THE ACES OF EACH SUIT FOR THE FOUR ELEMENTS, AND THE MAGICIAN TO SYMBOLIZE THE CONFLUENCE OF ALL. (OTHER CARDS MAY BE USED INSTEAD OR ADDITIONALLY AS DESIRED.

ARRANGE RITUAL COMPONENTS IN THEIR PROPER DIRECTIONS. FEATHER FOR EAST, INCENSE OR CANDLE FOR SOUTH, WATER FOR WEST, FRUIT FOR NORTH. PLACE CORRESPONDING TAROT CARDS BESIDE THEM. GENERALLY SWORDS GO TO THE EAST, WANDS TO THE SOUTH, CUPS TO THE WEST AND PENTACLES TO THE NORTH. YOU CAN ADD OTHER OFFERINGS AND SYMBOLS FOR EACH OF THE ELEMENTS– IN THE EAST I ADDED A PRISM TO REPRESENT LIGHT, AND TO HOLD DOWN THE TAROT CARD AND FEATHER BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE AND WINDY.

IN THE CENTER, PLACE YOUR CARD REPRESENTING LUCIFER, FOR ME, THE MAGICIAN. I ALSO HAD A PRAYER CANDLE I MADE FOR HIM BESIDE IT.

RITUAL PARTICIPANTS STAND AROUND THE CIRCLE. YOU CAN HAVE THE RITUAL PARTICIPANTS CHOOSE TO ORIENT THEMSELVES TO THE DIRECTIONS/ELEMENTS THAT THEY FEEL MOST ALIGNED WITH.

OFFICIATOR/SUPPLICANT IN THE CENTER, TO INVOKE THE FIVE DIRECTIONS.

I READ THESE WORDS OUT OF MY GRIMOIRE, BUT I KIND OF WISH I HAD JUST TRANCED OUT AND IMPROVISED. TRYING TO SPEAK FROM A SCRIPT WAS DISTRACTING AND PROBABLY UNNECESSARY.

SCRIPT

EAST

In the East you are the Morning Star,

The Prince of the powers of the Air,

The angel of Music,

The bringer of illumination,

The thunder and the flash,

The rebel who falls like lightning from Heaven,

The blinding revelation and purity of thought.

You are truth and liberation.

LET A FEATHER FALL TO THE GROUND

SOUTH

In the South you dance with Lilith in the dust storm.

You tempt Christ in the desert.

You are the flames that sear and purify,

You are that which burns and is not consumed.

You are the Great Red Dragon and the woman cloaked with Sun.  

You are passion and lust.

LIGHT CANDLE OR INCENSE 

WEST

In the West you are the Evening Star,

The first to shine in the face of night.

You are the solace of all souls who perished in the flood,

The patron of the sprites and spirits of the waters.

You are the tears of Heaven falling as rain.

You are black baptisms in the dark waters of night.

You are sorrow and healing.

ANOINT ALL WITH WATER

NORTH

In the North you are the serpent of Eden,

You are the Fruit of Knowledge and we eat its flesh in remembrance of you.

You are the Darklight and the Aurora Borealis.

You are the witching hour in the wild dark forest.

The emerald from your broken crown became the sacred Earth.

You are the God of this world.

You are life, and you are creation.

ALL EAT FRUIT (EVERYONE TOOK THE FRUIT DIRECTLY FROM MY FINGERS WITH THEIR LIPS, LIKE COMMUNION. IT WAS REALLY NICE)

CENTER

Within my flesh you guide me towards my higher self,

My Inner Power, that unsuspected and infinite resource.

You are the breath that blows the spark of my divinity into a raging fire.

You are the waters that heal me and the shuddering ground beneath my feet.

You are the friend of my progress,

The lover of my potential.

You are the bringer of Apotheosis.

Be with me on this the day of my birth,

And act as midwife to me as I am born again and again in this life.

RITUAL SELF-PIERCING OF/BY SUPPLICANT. IF ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS, FIND A SYMBOLIC ALTERNATIVE! LUCIFER HATES COERCION. IF YOU HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH SAFE, SANITARY SELF-PIERCING, ALSO DON’T DO THIS, FOR THE LOVE OF SATAN AND ALL THAT IS UNHOLY!

TO END THE RITUAL, ALL LINK HANDS AND SAY:

ALL:

Be it so!
