Completing the SOP.

[sh1njuk1]

 It's come to my attention that it's about time to add in the energy-adding parts of the SOP, and the sooner the better! 

1. Perform the Opening, then Air, Fire, Water and Earth. 
2. Face to the south. 
3. Trace a circle horizontally right in front of you, as if on a table top, in orange flame. 
4. Imagine it descending to rest a few feet below your feet. 
5. Point straight down, to the center of the circle, and say the following words:

"By the magma gate and the power of the telluric current, I invoke Spirit Below, its spirits and its powers. May the powers of Spirit Below bless and protect me today and always, and further my work. May I be empowered by the telluric current."

6. Imagine intensely the deep places of the Earth and the powers that dwell there. Draw the powers of Spirit Below into yourself. 
7. Say "I thank the powers of Spirit Below for their gifts."
8. Perform the Closing. 

I'll keep to just this today, actually, and wait just a little bit longer to add in Spirit Above. And now, off to do a ritual...
