I CALL UPON THEE,
O LIVING GOD,
RADIANT WITH ILLUMINATING FIRE.
O UNSEEN PARENT OF THE SUN!
POUR FORTH THY LIGHT GIVING POWER AND ENERGISE THY DIVINE SPARK.
ENTER INTO THIS FLAME AND LET IT BE AGITATED BY THE BREATHS OF THY HOLY SPIRIT.
MANIFEST THY POWER AND OPEN FOR ME THE TEMPLE OF ALMIGHTY GOD WHICH IS WITHIN THIS FIRE!
MANIFEST THY LIGHT FOR MY REGENERATION, AND LET THE BREADTH, HEIGHT, FULLNESS AND CROWN OF THE SOLAR RADIANCE APPEAR, AND MAY THE GOD WITHIN SHINE FORTH…..
From Comte De Gabalis by Abbe N. de Montfaucon de Villars.
I love this invocation. One of the parts that jumps out. I had not realised until I re-read this at your instigation, Gary, how much Regardie had borrowed from the book for the elemental prayers published in his ‘Ceremonial Magic’.
