Cross your arms over your chest (right over left) and state:
O wise and noble Agathodaimon, I offer these creatures of wine and bread
May you enlighten my mind and still my heart with your word.
May the radiance of your crown be extended upon me and this feast that it may fulfill the Beauty of this Great Work.
Draw the light down from the Orbis Solis into the Instita Splendens where it expands into a sphere of white radiance. Draw a charge of rose-gold flame from the Instita Splendens and let it pass into the Orbis Solis. Assume the ophiomorphic form of Agathodaimon.

The Holy One shall arise
And his voice shall cry in the dawn,
Yea, his mighty voice shall cry in the dawn.
He shall go forth in his name Knouphis
And his fearsome loveliness shall scourge the worlds.
A thousand Aeons shall adore him,
And men shall seek death.
The earth shall tremble,
The voice of the Holy One shall sound in the tempest.
The Gnostic shall stand in contemplation.
He shall lift up 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
But the broad wings of the Serpent enfold me.
The fleeing darkness is before me.
But I keep in concealment the glory which is mine
And the time is not yet when I shall unveil my face:
Yet I stand in majesty and power and bliss unending!
These shall be the words of the Gnostic in adoration of the Holy One.
At this point the communicant shall pause in silence for a moment allowing the radiance of Agathodaimon to fade into the magical personality.
CLOSING
Battery: 1
In the bond of Holy Light, by the coming forth of the Phoenix and by the effulgence of the Morning Star do we call upon you, High Guardians, we who are the continuators of your Work:
O Luminous Ones behold and hear us. Not without our own questing do we seek Gnosis, nor without our own endeavor to achieve the Supreme Good: but that the sowing shall be crowned in the harvest.
For oneness of purpose do we call unto you, for that joy of resolve which is the wine of the will, transforming all that was strange to it. For living light and for luminous life do we call unto you, O Hidden High Ones! So Light and Life shall be drawn at last to the radiance of one Star, and that Star shall mount to the unshadowed height.
EN GIRO TORTE SOL CICLOS ET ROTOR IGNE.
The Spiritual Sun has turned the Ages in a Circle and is their Mover with Fire!
So be the Work accomplished
In the Light of the Glorious Star!
