Vortex Rite

• When centered, stomp the left foot and cry out:

HUT (start)

• Extend both index fingers and bring them together in front of you. Say:

XIQUAL UDINBAK (manifest chaos)

• Visualize a point of light at the fingertips. Separate the fingers so that you draw a vertical line before you. Say:

XIQUAL UZARFE, D'KYENG (manifest aethyr, Planck's constant)

Aethyr is buzzing with potential, PlancVs constant is total contraction.

Visualize the astrological symbol for Saturn at the top of the vertical line, and the Greek letter "psi" at the bottom.

Bring the index fingers back together, but keep visualizing the lines and the symbols at either end.

• Draw a line with the fingertips perpendicular to the first line, saying:

XIQUAL KUDEX, EACHT (manifestation of light and darkness)

At either end of the line, visualize, respectively, a sphere of light and one of total blackness.

Bring the index fingers back together, but keep visualizing the lines and the symbols at either end.

• Draw another line at a 45° angle to the first two. Say:

XIQUAL ASHARA, DIJOW (manifestation of fire and air)

A variety of symbols can be used to represent the two, including personally-created sigils.

Bring the index fingers back together, but keep visualizing the lines and the symbols at either end.

Draw a fourth line perpendicular to the line in the previous step, and say:

XIQUAL THALDOMA, NOBO (water and earth/ or space and mass)

Visualize the appropriate symbol at either end of this line as well.

Concentrate and make sure that you can fully visualize all of the lines and symbols. Don't try to control color; just let it come as it will (this is one way to discover your octarine).

Then say:

XIQUAL ONGATHAWAS (manifest the vortex)

Make a gesture with your left hand which suggests setting a wheel spinning to you. This can range from the twitch of a finger to the sweep of an arm.

Use your breath to speed up the initial spin. With each inhalation and exhalation, make the whirl go faster and faster. Keep doing this until it appears 3-dimensional, as if you could thrust your arm into it.

The Vortex is now open. Shout out

XIQUAL CHOYOFAQUE (manifest the work of chaos)

Perform the workings you have intended to do.

When you're all finished with your vortex, strengthen your vision of it once more.

Point the index finger of your left hand at it and say:

ANGBIX? (how?)

Then the middle finger and ask:

POHUTH? (why?)

Finally the thumb with the question:

WOKAC? (what?)

• These are the three basic questions of materialism/science, spirituality/religion, and magick, respectively, per Carroll's aeonic theories.

• See the triangle formed by the three outstretched fingers. Visualize it as a sort of volume control, a solid triangle. Turn the "knob" counterclockwise to shut the vortex off, shouting:

AEPALIZAGE (immanentize the eschaton)
