ARCHANGEL RITUAL

OPENING RITUAL
work with will be sufficient, so long as you give it your full attention. It may
sound obvious, but before opening the ritual, make sure you have everything
you need. You may have written notes about your desire, along with sections of
the ritual. You may have printouts or a copy of the book. You don’t need much,
but what you do need should be with you.
Stand if you have the energy, but otherwise sit comfortably. If you’ve chosen to
sit for the ritual itself, you can sit for the opening as well. You can face any
direction, but the less distracting the view, the better. If the core ritual you are
performing requires you to face a particular direction, as with The Circle of
Power, start by facing that direction. Otherwise, any direction is fine. With flat
palms, touch your left fingertips to your right shoulder. Touch your right
fingertips to your left shoulder. Allow your arms to relax, so they are touching
your body rather than being held away from you. This makes the gesture feel
like a self-embrace. Lift your head slightly as though looking up to the heavens.
In this position, say these words three times:
NAH-KAH EE-AH-OH-EH
This is an encoded way of saying, ‘It is my will to recognize God.
