INVOCATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ISIS

[From the papers of Frater Progradior

Ritual used at Cefalu]

DIALOGUE:

M.A.:	Fraters et Sorores, assist me in making clear the one Mystic Ceremony. Brethren - what is the Hour?
Bro.:	It is the Hour when Luna is simulating the MidHeaven. Brethren - what is the place?
Sis.:	It is the summit of the Sacred Mount whereon is the Assembly of the Gods. Brethren - for what purpose are we gathered together?
For.:	For the purpose of invoking our Lady ISIS, the Holy Spirit, that being purified in heart and of right aspiration, we may be initiated into the Sublime Mysteries of Her nature. Brethren - how do we hope to attain an end so sublime and exalted?
Sis.:	By the aid of the Most High, the Lord of the Universe; by the Love and Devotion which we bear to our Lady ISIS; by the Unity of our purpose, the Unity of our aim, the strength of our unconquered Will, and by our knowledge of the names whereby the Holy Goddess may be most readily invoked. Brethren - it is sufficient: Let us now, being of one heart, one mind, and of one accord, exalt ourselves with fervour, that in very truth, our Goddess, the Holy Spirit, may descend upon us from Her Throne on High; and may we, being uplifted in ecstasy, comprehend the Love, Beauty and Truth that is in Her, who is indeed the very Spouse of God. So Mote it be.
