Temple and Altar Set Up

Place the salt and the Green Candle at the North Cardinal Point with the representation of Sobek.
Place the incense, incense burner, yellow candle and representation of Ra at the East Cardinal Point.
Place the two red candles and the representation of Set at the South Cardinal Point.
Place the Spring Water and the Blue candle at the West Cardinal Point with the representation of Anubis.
Place the altar candle, the quartz crystal, fabric, ribbon, pen and paper and the representation of Ma’at on the Altar.
Place the Cauldron on the ground to the side of the altar.

Casting Sacred Space

Light the Altar candle and take it to the North Cardinal point. Place a drop of wax from the altar candle into the salt, hold up the bowl of salt and recite:

I spread this salt of our earth
Upon the ground to set the boundaries
Of this Sacred Space
No evil may cross my mark.

Sprinkle the salt around the perimeter of the Temple, beginning and ending at the North. Move to the east and light the incense with the altar candle, then recites

I light this incense
So that its’ smoke
May be used as a pathway
To conduct our prayers
To the Gods ears.

Walk with the burning incense around the perimeter of your Sacred Space, beginning and ending at the East. Move to the South and light the red fire candle with the altar candle, then recite:

This fire honors all Gods and Goddesses
May their names be praised on this night
Maiden Mother Crone
Heir Pharaoh God
All are worshipped at this site.

Walks the candle around the perimeter of the Sacred Space, beginning and ending at the South. Move to the West, and place a drop of wax into the water, then recite:
From this water all life flows
From the beginning to the end
As was then, make it now within this place
Seal our souls within Sacred Space.

Sprinkle the water around the perimeter of the Sacred Space beginning and ending at the West.

Move back to the North, use the Altar candle to light the North CP Candle and say:
I call to the Great God Sobek
To come into this circle and assist me
to destroy these feelings of anger,
that I harbor in my soul.

Move to the East, light the East CP Candle and say:

I call to the great God Ra
To come into this circle and assist me
Enlighten the reasons for my anger
that I may identify them clearly.

Move to the South, light the South CP Candle and say:

I call to the Great God Set
To come into this circle and assist me
To calm the stormy chaos of my emotions
That I may gain power over this anger.

Move to the West, light the West CP Candle and say:

I call to the Great God Anubis
To come into this circle and assist me
To balance my thoughts and to weigh
My emotions against truth.

Move to the altar and replace the altar candle upon it. Bow and say:

I call to the Great Goddess Ma’at
To come into this circle and assist me
Know the truth and guide my heart towards it
So that this anger may be purged
from my soul for eternity.

Spend as much time as you need gathering your thoughts. Visualize each God and Goddess you have summoned standing at the cardinal points, with Ma’at standing behind the altar. Keep in mind that these Gods and Goddesses know the entire truth of the event which has caused this anger in you, and will not hear any lies you may speak, whether knowingly or unknowingly.

Hold the quartz crystal in your power hand, and make a fist around it. Keep this stone in your hand throughout the next part. Speak aloud the situation which has caused this anger and be very specific. Give as much details as possible. Then speak of how you feel about this issue or issues, again in as much detail as possible. Spend as much time as you need doing this and make sure you say everything that needs to be said. Everything that is in your heart and soul regarding these issues. When you have finished, you should feel tired, as if you have been emotionally drained. Place the crystal back on the altar and take the pen and paper and write out your anger issues in as much detail as you need. If you are a Techie, use a laptop and print it out, but you will need to have your laptop and printer inside the circle with you. If you have difficulty, focus on the crystal, which has now absorbed your anger.

When you have written out all you can, tear the paper(s) into five pieces. Take one piece to the North and light it from the North candle with your non power hand while holding the crystal in your power hand, while saying:

Great God Sobek, hear my words and feel my desires.
Release these feeling of anger into this crystal and set me free.

Place the burning paper into the cauldron, and take the next piece of your paper to the East. Light it from the East candle with your non power hand while holding the crystal in your power hand, while saying:

Great God Ra, hear my words and feel my desires.
Release these feeling of anger into this crystal and set me free.

Place the burning paper into the cauldron, and take the next piece of your paper to the South. Light it from the South candle with your non power hand while holding the crystal in your power hand, while saying:

Great God Set, hear my words and feel my desires.
Release these feeling of anger into this crystal and set me free.

Place the burning paper into the cauldron, and take the next piece of your paper to the West. Light it from the West candle with your non power hand while holding the crystal in your power hand, while saying:

Great God Anubis, hear my words and feel my desires.
Release these feeling of anger into this crystal and set me free.

Place the burning paper into the cauldron, and take the last piece of your paper to the Altar. Light it from the Altar candle with your non power hand while holding the crystal in your power hand, while saying:

Great Goddess Ma’at, hear my words and feel my desires.
Release these feeling of anger into this crystal and set me free.

Place the burning paper into the cauldron. Wait until all the pieces of paper have finished burning and have cooled. Place the crystal in the center of the piece of black fabric and cover it with the ashes from your paper. Wrap the fabric around the crystal and ashes to make a bundle and tie it shut with the ribbon, making sure to wrap the ribbon around the bundle at least three times before knotting it. As you are doing this, say:

I bind this anger into this stone
Never to enter my heart again
I bind this anger into this stone
Never to enter my heart again
I bind this anger into this stone
Never to enter my heart again

Once this ritual is finished, if you have a river or ocean near you, take the bundle and throw it into the water as far as you can. If you do not, bury it at least 12 inches down into the ground somewhere off your property.

Now is the time to close the circle. Begin at the West, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Anubis for assisting me at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the South, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Set for assisting me at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the East, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Ra for assisting me at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the North, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Sobek for assisting me at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the Altar, snuff out the Altar Candle and say:

Thank you Great Goddess Ma’at for assisting me at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

This ritual is finished. If you wish, you may leave an offering of food near the Temple. Clean up any mess you made, put away your tools and supplies and leave the Temple, knowing that this ritual has purged your anger. The only way it could possibly still bother you is if you allow it back into your heart and allow it to still be a part of your life.

Place the two red candles and the representation of Set at the South Cardinal Point.
Place the Spring Water and the Blue candle at the West Cardinal Point with the representation of Anubis.

Place the Cauldron on the ground to the side of the altar.
The parties who are angry with each other should sit on opposite sides of the Balefire if outdoors, or on opposite sides of the altar if indoors.

 

Casting Sacred Space

This should be done by the moderator, alone.

Light the Altar candle and take it to the North Cardinal point. Place a drop of wax from the altar candle into the salt, hold up the bowl of salt and recite:

I spread this salt of our earth
Upon the ground to set the boundaries
Of this Sacred Space
No evil may cross my mark.

Sprinkle the salt around the perimeter of the Temple, beginning and ending at the North. Move to the east and light the incense with the altar candle, then recites

I light this incense
So that its’ smoke
May be used as a pathway
To conduct our prayers
To the Gods ears.

Walk with the burning incense around the perimeter of your Sacred Space, beginning and ending at the East. Move to the South and light the red fire candle with the altar candle, then recite:

This fire honors all Gods and Goddesses
May their names be praised on this night
Maiden Mother Crone
Heir Pharaoh God
All are worshipped at this site.

Walks the candle around the perimeter of the Sacred Space, beginning and ending at the South. Move to the West, and place a drop of wax into the water, then recite:
From this water all life flows
From the beginning to the end
As was then, make it now within this place
Seal our souls within Sacred Space.

Sprinkle the water around the perimeter of the Sacred Space beginning and ending at the West.

Move back to the North, use the Altar candle to light the North CP Candle and say:
I call to the Great God Sobek
To come into this circle and assist us
to destroy these feelings of anger,
that these people harbor in their souls.

Move to the East, light the East CP Candle and say:

I call to the great God Ra
To come into this circle and assist us
Enlighten the reasons for their anger
that we may identify them clearly.

Move to the South, light the South CP Candle and say:

I call to the Great God Set
To come into this circle and assist us
To calm the stormy chaos of their emotions
That they may gain power over their anger.

Move to the West, light the West CP Candle and say:

I call to the Great God Anubis
To come into this circle and assist us
To balance their thoughts and to weigh
their emotions against truth.

Move to the altar and replace the altar candle upon it. Bow and say:

I call to the Great Goddess Ma’at
To come into this circle and assist us
Know the truth and guide our heart towards it
So that this anger may be purged
from their souls for eternity.

All parties stand before the altar and bow, saying:

I call upon the Great Goddess Ma’at
to come into this circle and judge this meeting.
Allow the truth to seep into our hearts,
That we may set aside these differences
And once again know the love
which we hold for each other.

The parties take their seats on opposite sides of the altar or balefire, and the Moderator stands between them, off to one side. Each person is given paper and pen, which they may use to make notes on, and a quartz crystal to hold during this time in their non power hand. Moderator flips a coin to decide who speaks first. That person, or the appointed leader of the group has 2 minutes to speak the nature of their anger.

The other person, or appointed leader then has 2 minutes to speak the nature of their anger, or offer a rebuttal.

Then follows 5 minute segments, where each person has the opportunity to speak their mind without interruption, going back and forth until the issue has been resolved, or a stalemate has been reached. In the case of a stalemate, then both parties must reach a compromise. If no compromise can be reached, then the ritual is closed, and shall be repeated one week later in the same manner until a compromise or agreement can be reached.

Once the issue has been resolved, each person, or appointed leader writes down an apology to the other person, and they take turns reading it aloud. Then the papers are folded around the crystal each has been holding, wrapped in the fabric and tied with the ribbon, while each says:

I bind this anger, wrapped with my love
May it never again cause harm.
I bind this anger, wrapped with my love
May it never again cause harm.
I bind this anger, wrapped with my love
May it never again cause harm.

The fabric bundles are then exchanged. These bundles should be kept among that persons private possessions.

The Moderator then closes the Circle, beginning at the West, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Anubis for assisting us at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the South, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Set for assisting us at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the East, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Ra for assisting us at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the North, snuff out the candle and say:

Thank you Great God Sobek for assisting us at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

Move to the Altar, snuff out the Altar Candle and say:

Thank you Great Goddess Ma’at for assisting us at this time.
May your name live forever in the hearts of man.

This ritual is finished. If you wish, you may leave an offering of food near the Temple. Clean up any mess you made, put away your tools and supplies and leave the Temple, knowing that this ritual has purged your anger. The only way it could possibly still bother you is if you allow it back into your heart and allow it to still be a part of your life.
