The Gnostic Pentagram Ritual begins with a visualization of radiance in five areas of the body.

Each
visualization is assisted by a vibration of one of the vowels sounds I, E, A, O, U. The sounds are
vibrated loudly and each is sustained for and entire slow exhalation. Each should produce a physical
sensation in the part of the body to which it is attributed. In effect the body is being played like a
musical instrument with each part resonating in sympathy to a particular tone.
Subsequently, pentagrams are drawn in the air at four points around the operator. The pentagrams
'are drawn and an anti-clockwise quarter turn f the whole body is executed after each pentagram
thus returning the body to its original position. The pentagrams should be strongly visualized with
the eyes opened or closed as desired. Each should be accompanied by a loud intonation of all five
vowel sounds I, E, A, O, U, in a single exhalation, with one bar of the pentagram being drawn for
each sound. The IEAOU mantra is used here largely to block discursive thought. Finally, the
opening sequence in which the visualization of radiance in various areas of the body, reinforced by
the individual I, E, A, O, U mantras, is repeated. The ritual may be elaborated at will, for example,
by adding colors to the visualized radiances or by adding supplementary pentagrams above and
below to form a sphere around the operator.

This ritual can be used in a number of ways:

• To establish balance, concentration and control before and after more complex rituals.
• As visualization practice at any time.
• As a preliminary exorcism of unwanted mental or psychic phenomena.
• As an aid to healing, particulary self-healing.

Ritual Procedure

1. Stand facing any preferred direction.


2. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound "I" (a high-pitched ieeeee! sound) while
visualizing a radiance of energy in the head area.
3. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound "E" (a lower-pitched eeeeh! sound) while
visualizing a radiance of enerfy in the throat area.
4. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly sustaining the sound "A" (a deep aaaah! sound) while visualizing
a radiance of energy in the heart and lungs, which spreads to the muscles of the limbs.
5. As in 2, but the sound "O" (ooooh!) in the belly area.
6. As in 2, but the sound "U" (a very deep uuuur!) in the genital/anal area.
7. Repat 6. Then 5, 4, 3, 2, working back toward the head.
8. Inhale fully. Exhale slowly, forming each of the IEAOU sounds in turn while, with the left
arm, drawing in the air a pentagram, which is also visualized strongly.
9. Make a quarter turn to the left and repeat 8, then continue to turn and draw the remaining
pentagrams with mantra and visualization until returning to the starting position.
10. Repeat steps 2-7 inclusive.
Healing

To assist in healing any part of the body, intone the sound and visualize the radiance which
corresponds to the affected part continuously for 5-10 minutes, or for as long as concentration can
be maintained.
