The Sphere of Hecate.
Part 1:
Conjuring the Column. Begin by standing and facing east. Imagine that you are at the very center of the universe. I don't mean to imagine that you have left your room and are now somewhere out in space, but rather that the very place that you stand is the center of the entire universe.
Just as from our perspective here on Earth, it seems that the Sun rises around us, but from a larger perspective, it is revealed that the Earth revolves around the Sun. You should consider that from an even larger perspective, you are at the very center of the universe and the whole thing revolves around you.
This white light has the qualities of purification and centering. Exhale and intone the following. Descendat Columba. The Descent of the Dove. Take another deep inhalation and imagine that a reddish colored light from beneath you rises through the column and passes through you upwards.
Whereas the white light was purifying, this light is vitalizing. Exhale and intone the following. Ascende Serpens. The Ascent of the Serpent. Inhale again and feel the two energies entering into you from above and below.
Exhale and feel the two energies flow throughout your body, impregnating every cell of your being with their power. Feel your connection between earth and sky, underworld and heavens.
Part 2:
With your right hand, point at your third eye and intone, E.
Move your right hand over your heart and open your hand so that your palm faces your chest and in tone move your hand lower over your genitals and turn the palm upwards connecting the thumb and forefinger in tone.
This portion of the right grounds centers purifies and empowers you so that you are in a proper position to exercise authority over the forces that you wish to banish. The dove and the serpent are universal symbols of chthonic and oronic forces.
By conjuring the column you take in the totality of all that is, above and below. As the magus Aleister Crowley once noted, adepts stand with their heads above the highest heavens and their feet below the lowest hells.
After the column you invoke the divine by the ancient formula of I,R,E.O. This formula is sometimes said to be a Greek way of saying Yod -he -vav -he, Yahweh, or Jehovah, but in reality is much older than that.
Pivot or walk the edge of your circle and intone the following. I consecrate and bless this circle that it may be to me and all a shield and protection in the name of the most powerful, invincible goddess, Egotae. Consider that this sphere is an invisible and impenetrable fortress surrounding you, keeping out all harmful forces and spirits of ill intent.
Part 3:
invoking the guardians. The last section of the ritual invokes 4 guardians to the four corners of our sphere.
Before I give the instructions for this section of the rite, I want to say a word about these particular guardians. The guardians invoked in this ritual are spirits that were revealed to me by Hekate directly and are bound by her as protective spirits. Their names are Abaek, Piram, Ermiti, and Dimulgali. They've been called upon successfully by myself and the small circle of sorcerers whom I have shared this ritual with and have proven to be powerful protectors. They can, however, be replaced with quarter guardians of your choice, such as the 4 Judeo Christian archangels, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel, or perhaps the spirits of the 4 winds, Notus, Zephyrus, Boreas, and Eurus.
Sets of quadruple guardians are very prevalent throughout the world. Base east and visualize Aba Ek standing at the eastern edge of the circle facing the center. He has the body of a man and the head of a bull that is snorting and breathing wildly. In his hands, he holds 2 scimitars, which he clashes together in a threatening manner. Make a gesture of conjuring and invoke Orquizo Abaek, bullheaded guardian of the east, remember your vow and fill the throne which has been set for you.
Consider that the throne, your visualization, has been filled by Aba'Ek, and see him now turn around to face the outside of the circle. Face south and visualize Piram standing at the southern edge of the circle facing the center. He has the body of a man and the head of a horse that is breathing fire. His two hands hold a large ebony trident. Make a gesture of conjuring and invoke Orgizo Pirom, horse headed guardian of the South, remember your vow and fill the throne which has been set for you.
Consider that the throne, your visualization, has been filled by Piram, and see him now turn around to face the outside of the circle. Face west and visualize Ermiti standing at the western edge of the circle facing the center. She has the torso of a woman and the head and lower body of a serpent. Her hands hold a net and a skull cup, which overflows with boiling blood. Make a gesture of conjuring and invoke Orquizo Hermiti.
Serpentine guardian of the West, remember your vow and fill the throne which has been set for you. Consider that the throne, your visualization, has been filled by Ermiti, and see her now turn around to face the outside of the circle. Face north and visualize Imgali standing at the northern edge of the circle facing the center. She has the torso of a woman and the head of a black dog. In her left hand, she holds a whip and in her right, she holds adamantine shackles.
Make a gesture of E and invoke, Orkeesodimgali, bitch headed guardian of the North, remember your vow and fill the throne which has been set for you. Consider that the throne, your visualization, has been filled by Dimgali, and see her now turn around to face the outside of the circle.
Part 4:
closing. You have grounded and centered yourself and connected with the Earth and the heavens. You have swept away obstructing energies from your area and created a psychic barrier around you.
You have invoked Guardian Spirits in the four directions. All that remains is to close the right. Take a single deep breath and bring your hands together in front of your heart as if you are praying. Away, away, all ye profane, in the name of the most powerful hekas . The wording
