Invocation of the Four Consorts

MATERIALS:

  • Four tarot cards to represent the queens
  • Consort incense ash (i.e. ash from incense burned in honor of the consorts)
  • Bells (Air/Fire)
  • Roses (Earth/Air)
  • Rose Water (Earth/Water)
  • Annointed candle (Fire/Water)
  • Pretty makeup brush for chrisms (optional)

The tarot cards are placed towards the four directions, along with the ritual elements: Items for Agrat and Air/Fire (bells and Queen of Cups) to the Southeast, for Lilith and Fire/Water (Candle and Queen of Wands) to the Southwest, for Naamah and Water/Earth to the Northwest (Queen of Pentacles and Rose Water), for Eisheth Zenunim and Earth/Air to the Northeast (Roses). Incense ash sits in the center. 

The celebrant begins facing Southeast. 

CELEBRANT: Hail to Agrat Bat Mahlat! Child of hope, creator and destroyer of illusions, conveyor and healer of disease! Reveal the truth to us, and send confusion to our enemies!

ALL: Renich viasa Agrat tasa lirach!

Celebrant rings the bell and then turns clockwise to the Southwest. 

CELEBRANT: Hail to Lilith, first of women, first human to rebel! Hail to thee who art two in one, male and female, adopter of stillbirths, avenger of the abused! Guard our bodies from those who would destroy them! Guard our freedom from those who would steal it away! Protect all women, and all gender outcasts and outlaws everywhere!

ALL: Renich viasa avage Lillith lirach!

Celebrant lights the candle, and then turns Northwest. 

CELEBRANT: Hail to Naamah, whose beauty makes angels fall! Hail Naamah, thief of knowledge, Queen of divination, mistress of seduction, and revolutionary whore! Grant us the insight to see what we need, and the ingenuity to obtain it! Grant us your clever artifice that we may gain wealth, wisdom and liberty!

ALL: Alora vefa an ca Naamah!

Celebrant sprinkles water around from his fingertips, then turns Northeast. 

CELEBRANT: Hail to Eisheth Zenunim, Mystery Babalon, mother of abominations, mother of death and mother of us all! Hail to thee Lady Satan, fallen angel of Liberty! May your poisoned sword cut down the tyrants! May your kisses, sweet as roses, comfort the bereaved! Let us return to you with joy, but not before our hour!

ALL: Lirach tasa Eisheth ayer!

The celebrant deeply inhales the scent of the rose. 

The celebrant turns to face the congregation and may then slip into a state of possession by one or all of these deities. The channel may now beckon the congregants forward, one by one, to receive benediction in the form of an inverted cross drawn in incense ash on their brow using the makeup brush. Congregants may request benediction from one of the four specifically. 

When all have received benediction, all join hands and pronounce:

ALL: Be it so, nema!
