Ecstatic Agendas

A short prayer for this, the Spring Equinox. Light a flame and demand your due! Pour libation, drink deep. Ascend and be recognized:

“On this day of turning

On this threshold between Winter and Spring

Between Night and Day

Between Death and Life

I cast away procrastination, hesitation, indecision.

I call upon the sun god,

Helios-Serapis-Ra,

Re-Osiris-Kephri,

Who rises, crests and sets

Who traverses the horrors of the night world,

Who vanquishes the demon-snake Apophis,

ATUM ATUM ATUM

Father of all,

Center of light, of warmth, of Life-

Burn from me all which holds me in dissolution,

Burn from me all trivial desires and pastimes

Which obfuscate my highest purpose

Burn away the fetters of fate and destiny

Which hold me back from the ascendance of my creative force.

And from this blackened soil call forth into life

My highest pursuits

My unquenchable curiosity

My deepest intellectual and spiritual and carnal desires

This I compel,

This I demand!

I am the son of Ra

The offspring of the mighty sun

The glory of the soil

I will be named King

I will be named God

I will be named Universe

I will not be denied!

As the Earth awakens, so too do I.”

Yours in ascendance,
