The Rite of the Revelation of the Serpent-faced God

Recite 3 times, ΙΑΩ.

Recite,

Let the earth be still, let the air be still, let the sea be still, let the winds also be still, and do not disturb me during this revelation. No sound, no loud cry, no whistling. I call upon you, ΦΘΑ ΡΑ ΦΘΑ ΙΗ ΦΘΑ ΟΥΝ ΕΜΗΧΑ ΕΡΩΧΘ ΒΑΡΩΧ ΘΟΡΧΘΑ ΘΩΜ ΧΑΙΕΟΥΧ ΑΡΧΑΝΔΑΒΑΡ ΩΕΑΕΩ ΥΝΗΟΧ ΗΡΑ ΩΝ ΕΛΩΦ ΒΟΜ ΦΘΑ ΑΘΑΒΡΑΣΙΑ ΑΒΡΙΑΣΩΘ ΒΑΡΒΑΡΒΕΛΩΧΑ ΒΑΡΒΑΙΑΩΧ.

Open my ears and eyes. Speak to me in my heart. Reveal to me what I desire of these matters. Come forth, come forth and speak to me concerning those things about which I shall question you.

Let there be depth, breadth, length and light, ΑΒΛΑΝΑΘΑΝΑΛΒΑ ΑΒΡΑΣΙΑΟΥΑ ΑΚΡΑΜΜΑΧΑΜΜΑΡΕΙ ΘΩΘ ΧΩΡ ΑΘΩΩΠΩ. Enter lord, and reveal!

Recite,

You shall await the revelation of the serpent-faced god and when he shall appear you will become the vessel for the godform of the serpent-faced god.

Recite as the serpent-faced god,

I am the holy one who shall arise and my voice shall cry in the dawn, Yea, my mighty voice shall cry in the dawn.

I shall go forth in my name Knouphis-Agathodaimon and my fearsome loveliness shall scourge the worlds.

A thousand aions shall adore me, and men shall seek death. The earth shall tremble, the voice of I the Holy One shall sound in the tempest.

The gnostic shall stand in contemplation. He shall raise his hands in adoration. Above him shall be the diadem of light, and these shall be the words of the gnostic: terror and vastness are about me. Behold the broad wings of the serpent-faced god enfolding the darkness.

The fleeing darkness is before me. But I keep in concealment the glory which is mine.

I stand in majesty and power and bliss unending and the time has come to unveil my face before the fleeing darkness.

Await the revelation from the serpent-faced god who shall speak to you in your heart.

Once the revelation has been made you shall dismiss the serpent-faced god and make an offering of snake’s skin.
