Preparations:  Altar in center of Temple, with representation of Heka (statue and/or hieroglyph), cup of lustral water, censer of incense (myrrh is always a suitable base).

Open with LBRP.  Optionally, purify and consecrate the hall.


All present recite the following:

Hear me, O Heka, bright shining god of magic and creation

You who spoke the Great Word, and all that is came into being

Without you, the universe is not

You who weave magic like the fibers of the flax braid

You whose power makes the other gods tremble

Ruler of the House of Ma’at and Lord of the Natural Law

We call upon you

By Names and Images are all Powers Awakened and Reawakened

By your Name, O Heka, and by this image present on the Altar, we call you

Awaken within us

Flow through us

Commune with us

For you are the Initiator of Kas and the Lord of the Magical Current

Wer-Hekau, mighty of magic, hear us

Bright shining one, hear us

Eldest Magician, created of Atum, son of Khnum, hear us

You who wield the twin powers of Hu and Sia, of Word and Will

Be our shepherd, guiding our ka so that we may be made full of your sacred Light

Conquerer of the Face of Terror, help us to be steadfast and face our fears

Blinder of Crocodiles, Lord of the Dual Serpents, preserve us and sustain us

You who safeguards the Solar Barque against Apophis and the forces of chaos

Shine forth your spells upon us as rays of sunlight with the opening of your mouth.

O Heka, we praise you and we adore you

Dwell within us, and heed our call

Vibrate:  HEKA!  HEKA!  HEKA!
