It looks to me like the astral hand of the soul reaching for its star…
The more you do it, the more you will weave the connection between yourself and your star, a connection that can serve as a guide in this world…and the next. Different things will happen at different points in your life and you will discover new things each time. This meditative rite should be done many, many times over the course of your lifetime. Let your consciousness return to the here and now. When you are ready, walk back down the steps and out the temple doors. Kiss your hand and extend it toward the star in thanks. Watch as your star withdraws and returns to its normal place in the beautiful night belly of Nuet. In the name of my mother Isis, may it be so. May your light continue to guide me until I come to you again. Ritualist: I thank You, O star of my soul. When you are ready, in vision, stand and thank your star by making the Sign of the Wings of Isis.

When you have found this star, kiss your hand and extend it toward the star and speaking: Continue to look at the sky until one star seems to jump out at you. Continue to scan the sky until one star catches your attention.” Squint your eyes slightly and scan the sky, to the right, to the left, above and behind you. The voice of the Goddess speaks in your mind and says, “Gaze at the beautiful belly of My Mother, Nuet. Take your seat there and make yourself comfortable. Soft rugs and cushions have been placed there for you. Walk to the very center of the roof and you will find that someone has made a place for you. No torches illuminate this place-only the light of the millions and millions of stars that fill the night sky above you. If you look at the walls beside you, you will see many Egyptian five-pointed stars carved into the walls, with hieroglyphs in neat columns beside them.Ĭontinue climbing and you will soon emerge on the roof of the temple. You approach the steps and begin to climb. If you look to your right, you see that stone stairs have been carved into the wall of the temple and a torch burns near the first step. It is quiet and no one else seems to be here, though someone has clearly lit the torches that illuminate the interior of the temple. As you stand there, the doors of the temple swing open and you enter. The sky is a luminous indigo color and the stars are beginning to show themselves. Imagine that you stand before the great pylon gates of an ancient Egyptian temple of Isis. When you are ready, visualize the following: Amma, Iset, let it be so.Ĭontinuing to face east, be seated comfortably, close your eyes, and breathe deeply and slowly for several minutes.

Purify and consecrate yourself using the formulae of the House of Isis, or use any method that you usually use to prepare yourself for ritual.įacing east, raise your arms in the Sign of the Wings of Isis.
A universe of stars, full of light and darknessĬontemplate this image of the stars or remember how the night sky looked the last time you stargazed.
