Calendar of the Sun for March 11th

Calendar of the Sun
11 Hrethemonath

Marduk’s Day

Colors: Light blue and grey
Element: Air
Altar: On a cloth of pale blue lay a naked sword, three grey candles, and a loaf of bread shaped like a dragon.
Offerings: Cut something into pieces.
Daily meal: Fish or meat, chopped finely.

Invocation to Marduk

The warrior’s sword is clean and bright
And has two edges. So Marduk found.
Taking up the sword, he slew
The Dragon Mother Tiamat
And from her body carved the earth
And the overarching sky.
Yet he found, as we all do,
That he could not live anywhere
On this the new earth without
Remembering her, and all that she was,
And he lived and died surrounded
By her at the last,
And her body took his
When at last he was betrayed.
Beware, ye who would be king
By force of arms! Your enemies define you,
So choose them well.

(One who has been chosen to do the work of the ritual takes up the sword and cleaves the bread dragon into pieces, which are then passed around and eaten. Exit to the beating of a drum.)

Today’s Tarot Card for Jan. 12th is Justice

Justice

This Tarot Deck: Morgan-Greer

General Meaning: Traditionally, what has been known as the Justice card has to do with moral sensitivity and that which gives rise to empathy, compassion and a sense of fairness. Since the time of Solomon, this image has represented a standard for the humane and fair-minded treatment of other beings.

Often including the image of a fulcrum which helps to balance competing needs against the greater good, and a two-edged sword to symbolize the precision needed to make clear judgments, this card reminds us to be careful to attend to important details. It’s a mistake to overlook or minimize anything where this card is concerned. The law of Karma is represented here — what goes around comes around.

Spell to Nehellania

Spell to Nehellania

 

Perform this during the Dark Moon if possible, and when casting Circle move counter clockwise from the East.

Items needed: sword.

Stand before the altar with arms raised and say:

“Dark Mother, let your power flow through the body of your daughter/son and out again
to repel and destroy all negative thoughts and deeds that are directed against me.”

Stand in silence as you draw down the power, then face East, raise your sword in greeting and say:

“Hail Chichiri, great One of the East, Whose airy eyes see all in the Element of Air!
I do summon you here to protect and defend me.”

Move to the North and say:

“Hail Tamahome, great One of the North, Whose green eyes see all in the Element of Earth!
I do summon you here to protect and defend me.”

Go to the West and say:

“Hail Hotohori, great One of the West, Whose liquid eyes see all in the Element of Water!
I do summon you here to protect and defend me.”

Finally at the South say:

“Hail Tasuki, great One of the South Whose bright eyes see all in the Element of Fire!
I do summon you here to protect and defend me.”

Place your hands on the sword and say:

“Great Dark Mother, I call on You to build up this protection,
To send back all the wrong that has been done to me.”

Raise your sword high and say:

“Dark Mother, Queen of the Night, there is one who stands against me.
Let his/her efforts fail.
Let him/her go down in the darkness.
May You judge his/her wrongfulness and lies as he/she stands before
You in the courts of Hell.
May his/her efforts be lost in the darkness with no light to guide him/her.
I am Your child, protect me, Dark Mother!”

Rest the sword with the point on the ground between your feet. Say:

“Dark Mother, help me to reach my goals, to live my life to the fullest, to walk a path of balance.
Sweep away all barriers built by those who want me to fail.
Crush the evil sent against me!
Sweep its remains back into the body and brain of the one who sent it!
The evil is dead!
My attacker tastes his/her just rewards!
His/her mouth is full of ashes, his/her thoughts of nightmares, his/her life of unfulfillment.
Only once he/she ends his/her attacks and hatred shall he/she know peace again!
I stand under the sword and the hand of the Goddess! So mote it be!”

Draw a pentagram on the floor between your feet with the sword and say:

“It is done!”

Replace sword on the altar (or if too large like mine, simply lean it against the altar) and say:

“Your hands protect me from Dark Moon to Dark Moon.
Your sword covers me from Dark Moon to Dark Moon.
Your care shelters me from Dark Moon to Dark Moon.
All love and honor to the Dark Mother Nehellania!”

This is the time for any further spell working or to finish other ritual matters.
When finished take your sword to the east and raise it in greeting, and say:

“Farewell Chichiri! My thanks for your protection and defense. Depart in peace, blessed be!”
At the North say:
“Farewell Tamahome! My thanks for your protection and defense. Depart in peace, blessed be!”
At the West say:
“Farewell Hotohori! My thanks for your protection and defense. Depart in peace, blessed be!”
At the South say:
“Farewell Tasuki! My thanks for your protection and defense. Depart in peace, blessed be!”
Stand before altar with arms raised and say:
“My thanks to the Dark Goddess Nehellania and to all who have helped here this night.
Depart in peace, blessed be!”

Bless and eat the Simple Feast, and finish closing the Circle.

Nehellania is another name for the Norse Hel. Her name means Nether Moon, a direct linking
with her underworld kingdom Niflheim, Nef-hel, or Nifl. She is the Queen of the Dead and rules
over dark magick and revenge.

The Prime Ritual Tool In Dragon Magic – The Sword

The Prime Ritual Tool In Dragon Magic – The Sword

 

The prime ritual tool for dragon magic is a sword. It does not have to be elaborate, expensive sword. Choose one that is not too long or heavy because you will often hold it out before you for long periods of time. For a woman, a sword 18 to 20 inches in length is usually the right size. Some prefer Scottish claymores and other large reproductions, but have enough sense to know that your shoulders would be aching miserably after a few minutes of holding it out in front of you. Besides, long swords are notoriously clumsy and difficult to maneuver with a cast circle. It is quite easy, when totally involved in magic, to sweep everything off the altar with a swinging sword. Men should also chose a lighter, shorter sword for the same reasons. Swords do not need a sharpened edge.

 

The magician could use a painted wooden sword as a substitute for a metal one, although you might find it difficult to adjust your thoughts to the use of such a ritual tool. However a dragon is not impressed by the weight or elaborateness of a sword, just the fact that you have one. The sword is of the element of Fire.
