sh1njuk1 I've finally found a good place to perform the SOP - to the south of a beautiful, ancient oak in front of the public library, with the area's energy made amazingly clear and clean by the Falun Gong group that practices in the same spot every Saturday morning. The telluric energy especially is amazing - when I perform that part of the SOP, it feels like it's surging into my body! I've literally felt that nowhere else - I really, really have struggled with telluric energy, but it feels like this place puts training wheels on, lol. Not to mention, once I leave this coffee shop, I'll be heading out to perform it for the seventh day in a row. I haven't been able to hit a streak like that since the move... boy, it makes a difference, let me tell you.... as does taking several-day-long breaks from the news...
In any case, I finally feel ready to perform the last three parts of the SOP, and complete my learning of this ritual.

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. Continue facing to the south.
9. Trace a circle horizontally in front of you, as if on a low ceiling, in purple flame.
10. Imagine it ascending to rest a few feet above your head.
11. Point up to the center of the circle and say the following words:
"By the violet gate and the power of the solar current, I invoke Spirit Above, its spirits and its powers. May the powers of Spirit Above bless and protect me today and always, and further my work. May I be empowered by the solar current."
12. Imagine intensely the realms of outer space and the powers that dwell there. Draw the powers of Spirit Above into yourself.
13. Say "I thank the powers of Spirit Above for their gifts."
And... I've run out of Internet time today! I'll work on adding these two to my ceremony this week, and keep plodding onward towards completion, at long last :)
