I believe in the Creator
Of all that is and will beI take refuge, in the Earth
And in all that there isI also take refuge in Nature
And all the creations of the Great MotherNature spirits, elementals attend me
Love of thy mother of the Universe
Embrace meLove of thy Father of the Universe
Embrace meEmbrace me with a circle of love
Embrace me with a circle of magic
And Bless me to do all that is right and Good
I am in your Service.

10. Magic
Magic is a process of action and conscious motivation working
together to bring about a desired result.
Harnessing the forces to effect change, that is magic.
Remember "Doing" means manifesting energy and action.
It is both rational and intuitive, however it may be subject to karma.
So remember you have a choice to be ethical and practice all magic to the highest good.
Cultivate peace, love, joy and happiness and your cauldron karma shall overflow.
Before using magic, do everything you can to achieve your goal on a mundane level, first.
Always be Positive and Ethical when working with any type of magic, especially high magic.
High magic aims for personal transformation;
well natural magic is materialistic.
Make positive affirmations and use positive symbols

A Ritual of Awakening

For the working:

1/Gold or Yellow Pillar Candle
1/White Pillar Candle
1/Black or Dark Pillar Candle
Candle snuffer (optional)

Place the candles in a triangular shape on a small altar table. The White Pillar would be the point of the triangle with the Gold on the Left base and the Black on the Right base. A white or gold altar cloth would be suggested. Something plain is preferable rather than a patterned cloth. Everything should be very simple, uncluttered and clean with the candles as the central focus.

Sacred space is prepared is whatever way is compatible with your path. Invoke those Patrons, Guides or Deity that you work with and wish to have witness and support this rite. For my ritual I would use RA, as the sustaining light and Anpu as holder of the dark and the midnight Sun. I also work regularly with Het-Heru (as the Ureaus) and would call Her forth as inner anchor for the energy.

Make statement of your intent to enliven and awaken your Inner Sun that its flame may burn brightly in the months ahead. You want to speak this aloud, so that all of your subtle bodies may respond to the physical vibration of the words you are setting forth.

Begin by lighting the Gold candle. Declare this candle as the energy of the Sun (RA) held in its peak of potency and life sustaining properties. It is the catalyst that bursts forth at the dawn of each day. It is the strength and fullness of light as the midday sun. And, it is the drawing of the solar energies into the belly of night; still burning brightly as its mysteries are held in the Midnight Sun. Take some time to connect with these energies and envision this solar cycle in whatever way presents and feels natural to you. Breathe in deeply, feeling the expansion of your lungs and imagining this expansion as the heat and warmth of the growing sun.

Next, stand before the White Candle (Het-Heru) . Make declaration that this candle represents the pure illumined energy of your Higher Self and the power and strength that is held within. This candle represents your Spirit and the true nature of your being, that flows with the cycles of nature, the seasons, the Universal and Cosmic laws. Feel its resonance within you as you speak each work of description. You may also wish to say your mundane and magickal names, affirming your identify in Spirit and Matter. Using the Gold pillar as Source, light the White candle of your Being. Place the Gold pillar back on its stand. Return your focus to the growing flame of the White candle as the brilliance of Light that is held within the solar fires that have burned so hot and so pure that nothing remains except that which holds All. Breathe your energy into this candle feeling the resonance and connection to the core of your inner sun. And, inhale deeply the reciprocity of its energetic return spreading throughout your body. Allow this enlivened energy to move through your body as it will and making note of where it settles. You may experience a pulsating feeling at the center of your solar plexus or feel something like a sun-filled liquid warmth moving gently through you. Just continue to breathe gently as you envision the circuit you have created of inhale and exhale, receipt and return.

Move to stand in front of the Dark Pillar (Anpu) . Make declaration that this candle represents the coming season of darkness and decrease in visible light. This is also the power and the mystery of the Midnight Sun and the spark of potent flame that lay within the depths of all that gives illusion of shadow. Take a moment to feel the raw energy of this darkness and the imposing silence that reaches long into the night. Using the White Pillar, light this candle. As you do so, declare this as the quickening of the darkness so that it may nurture and hold strong the spark of catalytic flame that will burst forth at the Winter Solstice. Place the White Pillar back on its stand. Return your focus to the Dark Candle and breathe into its flame and open to connecting deeply to the contrast of white/blue flame and dark wax. Envision the lantern of your own Inner Sun lighting the paths of this darkness. Envision the reality that on this earth plane; night and day occur simultaneously with only the designation of geographical location as the determining factor as to what we name as dark and light.

Come to stand at center point in front of these three lit candles. Allow your gaze to move from one to the other, remembering what each represents and the energy of connection you have made. Soften your gaze, and allow the stream of light emanating from each to interweave. Breathe deeply and fully as you relax into this weaving. Soften your gaze further and see these three streams coming to a central point directed towards you. Breathe into this co-mingling of energy feeling its point of connection at the same place you felt the settling of your inner flame previously when connecting to the Gold pillar. Feel the strength of the Sun (Gold Pillar) , Your Inner Sun (White Pillar) and the Midnight Flame (Dark Pillar) coalescing as a singular Source of Light to bring forward and light the paths of your own inner darkness as the year wanes.

When you have received all that is needed, offer up gratitude for this experience. Offer up service to the nurturing and tending of this Fiery energy within and the gift and blessings of the Solar Flame you have received. Stand once again before each of the candles and offer thanks to their individual energies and then gently use a snuffer to extinguish each candle in turn. When you have extinguished the Dark Pillar, take a deep breath in and gently breathe out in exhale of release allowing whatever excess energy you may feel to gently fall away, leaving you feeling renewed and empowered.

Thank the Deities and those seen and unseen Who have offered their witness and support. Close down your sacred space in whatever way is in keeping with your path. Be sure to get something to eat and drink immediately following to ground and center. If necessary, connect with the earth or floor beneath you allowing any excess to drain into the Great Mother.

May the blessings of Solstice Light burn ever brightly informing and infusing all of your actions. Blessed Be

Yule/Winter Solstice 21st December (Northern Hemisphere)
Yule is midwinter. A time when all is dead and passed. The old year has died and the new year begins. From this day forward the days will begin to grow in length again and the Sun has been 'reborn'. This is the basic idea of Yule. It is a time to celebrate the return of warmth and summer and thus life.

In Egyptian myth we know Horus (Heru-sa-aset) to be the Sun God born of the mother at a correlating time to December 25th. So who else to associate with Yule than Isis (Aset) and Horus? It just so happens to work perfectly with the previous and next Sabbat too.

Imbolc 2nd February (NH)
This is the festival of Brighid in Celtic Mythology and Wiccan Theology. It is a very Celtic festival (also called Candelmass and adopted by Christians) , so why should it be brought into a Kemetic calendar? For one, it already is. This date is estimated to be the date of the birth and festival of Nuit, the starry sky mother. So was a celebrated date in Egypt anyway. But linking back to what happened at Yule and keeping to the nature of the holiday it would be a time when Isis nurtures her new baby son, the young Sun God as he grows in strength, as the Sun does at this time. This festival of light shows the Sun God growing his first rays and maturing.

Ostara/Spring Equinox 22nd March (NH)
This festival is Germanic and was not celebrated in the British Isles, where many of the Sabbats in the Wheel are based. The Equinoxes were observed in Egypt though. There are many ideas you could use for this festival of Spring, resurrection, life and birth. It would be an ideal time to rise the Djed Pillar and bring Osiris (Wesir) back to life, to reign as God of the living once again and oversee the growth of Agriculture (as he did in his living reign) . Today the day is equal to night and so it makes sense for the Goddess of Balance and Order, Ma'at to bring back to life the God of Justice and Order, Osiris.

Beltane/May Day 1st May (NH)
Beltane is the fire festival of the beginning of summer, celebration love, warmth, life, sexuality and fertility. So what better Goddess to celebrate than Hathor (Het-Hert) ? The Egyptians celebrated the marriage of Hathor and Horus (Heru-Wer) and so this is the perfect date, where the mature Sun God unites with the Mother Goddess of Love. Together their union produced Ihy, a child God of joy and music. Their marriage truly captures the meaning of Beltane, especially as they are both solar deities; so let the Beltane fires burn for them!

Litha/Summer Solstice 21st June (NH)
Litha is the longest day of the year, midsummer. The Sun is at it's most powerful, yet after this day the year will begin to wane again. Two main myths may be put in place here, such as the Power and Fall of Ra and thus myth of Sekhmet or the contending of Horus and Set. Alternatively some may choose to celebrate Wep Ronpet here but I will leave that for next. Chronology would get confusing here as you will see later as the festivals can celebrate events as they happen but not necessarily in order with the story. If you celebrate the Contendings here then you need to appreciate that Set doesn't kill Osiris until Mabon, even though the two Gods are fighting now about just that... The choice is up to the Pagan, but the main point of the holiday, for whatever myth you use is celebrating the power of the Sun and life, but also acknowledging that death will come.

Lughnasadh/Lammas 1st August (NH)
This is the first of three harvest festivals. As aforementioned the could be a time to celebrate Wep Ronpet, Egyptian New Year and the birth of the Five of the Ennead. Some may prefer to do this at Litha or on the actual rise of Sirius. If so, then this would be a festival of the fertility God Min and being thankful for any bounty received in the year. This is the idea for Wep Ronpet: The first day is obviously the first of August and it is appropriate that the God of agriculture (in his living form) Osiris should be born. We can be grateful for his bounty, like we are for Min’s. For the 2nd day it is Horus' birthday (Heru-Wer) and so we celebrate the Sun, drunkenness, and power. 3rd day is the birth of Set and we celebrate the balance of chaos, sexual prowess and strength. 4th day is Isis and we celebrate magick, wisdom and motherhood. The fifth day we celebrate Nephthys (Nebet-Het) and the death, mystery and hidden knowledge of life. The sixth and final day can be a celebration of the new year once they are all born and celebrate the gift of life by the creator and also share some time with the mother Nuit, who birthed the Five.

Mabon/Autumn Equinox 22nd September (NH)
This is the day when again night is equal to day, however now the nights will become longer than daytime. It is the second harvest and so sacrifice is made. Now that Set and Osiris have been born their myth begins again. Today Set kills Osiris and dark conquers light. It is up to you, but now Set and Nephthys rule the remaining year (or Nephthys and Osiris depending on your interpretation of the myth) . In this last period of harvest before the final one in November Isis will frantically search for her husbands body, as we reap the last crops of his natural flesh and bring it to our homes.

Samhain 31st October - 1st November (NH)
This is the festival of the dead. Correlating to the actual timing of the Egyptians in their calendar, Osiris is mummified now. Anubis (Anpu) , Nephthys and Isis come together and reassemble his body. We pay respect for the dead this day. Isis will breathe life into Osiris and lay with him, placing Horus in her womb before Osiris departs with all other souls that visit earth that day back up to Nuit in heaven, where he becomes Lord of the Underworld. Isis is now pregnant with the Sun Go
