The rite should be practiced with intent & concentration until automatic and used in any situation where strength, protection, inspiration or higher forces need to be called down – or when it is desired to rid the body/mind/spirit of unwanted forces, or to keep negative external factors out.  The RITE is preserved as follows:

1.      Stand where there is light, preferably direct sunlight upon your head from above (noon time is ideal)

 

2.     Close your eyes, breath deeply and be calm.

 

3.     Once you have achieved a state of confident self-control, take one deep breath AS you raise both hands high overhead.

 

4.     Draw your hands slowly back down to your sides, while intoning the first of the 3-fold utterances: “I” (pronounced as a prolonged “EEEEEEEEEEEEE”). GAUGE YOUR EXHALE CAREFULLY, SO THAT YOU RUN OUT OF BREATH JUST AS YOUR HANDS REACH YOUR THIGHS.

 

5.     Repeat, this time exhaling the second utterance: “A” (pronounced as a prolonged “ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh”).

 

6.     Repeat for a last time, intoning “O” (pronounced “OOOOOOO”).

 

7.     Without pause, repeat  combining all 3 together into one continuous sound: EEEEE-Ahhhh – OOOOO. Then open your eyes.

The “I” sound stood for the feminine, contractive, water qualities. It was used as an isolated sound to draw down these forces. The “A” was the middle-ray of balance or the ‘air principle’, and was invoked when stability was an issue. The “O” sound is open and expansive invokes when masculine forces are desired. These sounds were also used in various combinations for various intents, depending upon the circumstances and desired outcome. Each sound draws down a different king of energy.

 The 7 – step Rite above is the ‘active form’ where desired powers are DRAWN DOWN, to banish unwanted powers away from you  or a particular space, reverse the Ritual in exact order: begin with “O” and raise hands from low-to –high upon exhale, then to “A” and “I” and so forth.
