COR LUCIS LAMEN
Altar Consecration
By Frater M.O.


Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

This ritual was recently performed during our class on Yesod. I was so pleased with the results I felt others may want to have a look-see. Understand the ritual is in a bare-bones form leaving space for individual vision. Intent and desire to complete any potent magickal act can only be filled by you. Although the ritual has been designed for seven officers I think you will find easy enough to translate the workings to a single ceremonialist. If you do attempt this ritual please send a note on how it worked for you. – MO
