BAPTISM - not of a child

Set up a pentacle on the floor, either drawn or cloth big enough to put a person in the center where the pentagon in the star appears. Person will be laying down in the "House." The bottom point is at his feet; the two top points above his head. The person will be inside the "house" with five blazing angles around him. You need 5 people to stand at each point of the star to be Sentinels. The bottom point should be facing West.

(Ideally, each angle and the center of the star should have a color: top left should be red; top right should be blue; lower left should be green; lower right should be yellow, bottom point should be white and the pentagon (house) in the center should be black. The Sentinel standing at the red top left point should be holding a chalice.

The Sentinal standing at the red top left point should be holding a brand new wine glass.

The Sentinel standing at the blue top right point should be holding an athame or phurba inside of a veil of cloth.

The Sentinel standing at the green bottom left point should be holding a broken column or two pieces of finished wood that could be made into right angles.

The Sentinel standing at the yellow bottom right point should be holding sticks that are gathered together and attached at the middle.

The Sentinel standing at the white bottom point should be holding a crown.

Person to be Baptized starts out in front of a Sentinel standing at the bottom point of the star. Sentinel says:

As the stars that grace the skies are the beauty and glory of the Night and light the path of (Name) on his/her journey through life, so may our beautiful Pentacle, with all its significance, ever remain Name's glory.

We would walk the Wheel of Life blindly were it not for the All Seeing Eye, our Cosmocrator, that guides us gently as if by the hand of Cheiron, the Sri Kala Chakra, a Guiding Spirit. We believe that this is for The Good. Enter our Portal, listen to all that you hear as this initiation is a symbol of the Wheel of Life that you are about to embark upon. You are given this Baptism to assist you in building your own individual character.

Sentinel lifts left arm toward person: Do you come of your own free choice? (answer) Do not complain at any trial. A seal is on your lips, let it warn you to be silent and secret to all that is made known to you. Woe to those to seek to take upon themselves burdens they cannot bear. Woe to the faithless and insincere who assume obligations lightly and then forget them.

Person agrees. Sentinel lets him step into the star walking through the bottom point. He/she lays down in the center of the star, feet by the bottom point, heat by the two top points. When person is inside the Pentacle, all Sentinels face inward at the center of the star.

(Using names from many cultures for these things)

The Sentinel standing at the top left point of star says: May Amithaba, Nangwa-thayay, Idas be the guiding spirit to your Physis, the Knowledge of your own Nature; and may Cthonie, Azazel protect against all that would try to destroy your Innocence of Heart. For all those who would aspire to do this would murder your heart with malice and cause it to close in pain due to the self-loathing of their own non-being.

The Sentinel standing at the top right point on star says: May Vairocana, Nampar nangzad, Heracles, be the guiding spirit to your Hypopteros Drys, the Roots of your own Being from the foundations of the Cosmos; and may Eurynome, Samael protect against all that would try to sever you from the Weave of Fate. For all those who would aspire to do this are torn out of the Fabric of Life and do envy your station among the living.

The Sentinel standing at the lower left point on star says: May Amogha-Siddhi, Donyod rubpa, Jasius, be the guiding spirit to your Psyche, your peaceful, inner state of being; and may Echidna, Hanael protect against all that would disturb your inner peace. For all those who would aspire to do this have no inner peace within themselves and envy yours.

The Sentinel standing at the lower right point on star says: May Ratna Sambhava, Rinchen jungdan, Paeonius be the guiding spirit to your Dikiosyne, your inner boundaries, the inner Justice you are born into; and may Calliroe, Izidkiel protect against all that would try to breach your inner boundaries. For all those who would aspire to do this do so in order to cling to your life's force and do so because they have none of their own.

The Sentinel standing at the bottom point on star says: May Akshobya, Mikyödpa, Epimedes, be the guiding spirit to your Zoos-Eros, your own Shekina, Anima, the Roots of your Kundalini and an open Heart; and may Ophioneus, Kepharel protect against all that would try to take this Black Flame from you, or cause you to repress the Inner Flame. For all those that would aspire to do this do so in order to cripple your Inner Being because they dwell in non-Being

Let there be an invisible Unbridgeable Gulf, a Gate where those without can Pass Not. A wall which separates Non-Being from you who have Being.

The Boundless Darkness, the SAT is Being Itself. The TAN is be Becoming. Together they are Satan. Thelema is Your True Will and Xeper is Your True Becoming. Flow onward on the Wheel of Life and realize your potentialities; be True to your Self in all things and walk the Wheel of Life without Fear of Inner things. Be with an open heart to What Is - and do not get attached to What Is Not. Our Pentacle is the Glyph which means Being.

All say: Our Golden Chain is lengthened in Unity, Equity and with Liberty. The stronger the chain is, the longer we can hold.

Person that got Baptized stands up. Sentinels walk into the center of the star with him/her. They hand the newly Baptized person the things they were holding for him/her to keep and treasure as symbols of this initiation.
