This ritual was composed as a kind of homage to Dion Fortune and an
experiment to try on her model of magic. Fortune’s early work discussed her magical
model of the Three Rays of the Mysteries. The Green Ray was the pagan ray of
elemental power. The Blue Ray was the Kabbalah-Hermetic intellectual content of
occult study. The Violet Ray was a devotional strand of esoteric Christianity. She
maintained that initiates required intellectual facts which could be
illuminated by initiatory flashes of light; if the magician’s mind was empty, what
would the light illuminate? Additionally, initiates needed elemental force and vitality
life power to enact the will of the Gods. Into the mix must be added the heart,
compassionate devotion to humanity; hence her inclusion of the Christ-consciousness.

Green Ray (fill up the body with emerald green light).

Rays pulsating around you as you invoke:
Oh, Kind Magi of the Pathways of Sapphire, Amethyst and Emerald, I
request your direction and protection for my spiritual journey. Let all studying,
meditating and ceremony be infused with your guidance. May I be guided into
active imaginations of the Living Old Ones. May I gain expansive inspirations
with the Minds of Holy Deities. May I be awakened into clearest intuitions of
all Gods and Goddesses. For I seek to serve the Old Ones in Their Great Work of
Power, Wisdom and Love. Oh, Magi of the Holy Quest, out of your constant
generosity of heart, I request:
6. Visualize self as Hermes, flying through the marvelous sapphire
clouds, moist and heavy with Wisdom. When complete, allow the Hermes image to

thinking like an ever-expanding cloud.

kindness and compassion for all beings.

pipes in a woodland glen among nymphs and satyrs in Power. When complete, allow
Pan’s image to completely dissolve into the belly center. Say:
May the Green Ray Adepts grant the life-powers needed to serve
Deities of Nature. Let me learn to do vigorous actions of service as empowered
by the green light of earth.

Gods of the Triple Lights, Pan, Jesus and Hermes:
I feel and know that I am sealed by Your Three Rays:
I am assured by Mem, your emerald seal of power;
I am blessed by Shin, the amethyst seal of love;
I am convinced by Alef, your sapphire seal of wisdom.
