The ritual

The statement of Intent will be, "We do Initiate ourselves into the Autonomatrix and cause inspiration for illumination."

Ten minutes of sound and image concentration is then performed using the mantra and sigil created for the rite.

An invocation of the Death self using mantra, "Canmuh Dotwefli" for five minutes is performed. This mantra is a fleshed sigil based off of the statement of intent, "We will come into contact with our Death self now."

• A eulogy is read and the self is visualized as decaying and dying then being put back together with an extra quality added to it. The extra quality will be a horn protruding from my forehead.

The Death card is unveiled on the alter and a short prose is read

• At death, we learn the self is transitory, a collection of tastes, opinions, and idiosyncrasies. As the body fades, so does the aetheric body leaving nothing but the animating spark which becomes redistributed in new vessels.

The wheel of fortune is unveiled on the alter and a short prose is read

• To Know, to Will, to dare, and to keep silent. Life, as a function of the universe finds itself governed by probability; chance seems the only fair morality in a world such as this one. Luck seems like the only desirable quality we could have, Belief as a tool, not an end in and of itself, and for this knowledge we feel fortunate.

The Magician card is unveiled on the alter and a short prose is read

• Becoming has become a habit, seeing has become insight, the world has become a play ground, and spirituality has become a procedure. This self has died before and shall die again; this self has found creation with new attributes. This self has become a magician of the Autonomatrix.

The sigil is finally unveiled and signed in blood then put into a sealed envelope

The wand is destroyed as a sacrifice of power to create the new self and the new Axiom declares, "We now do as an Axiom."

The GPR is performed before and after the ritual

Commentary

I performed the ritual on Friday the thirteenth to take advantage of the great amounts of irrational superstitious fear lurking behind most people's conscious mind. I performed the ritual at dawn to take advantage of the symbolism of rebirth. I remember experiencing a great deal of irrational fear while lying in bed before the ritual, I find this odd because I do not often experience paranoia. I started out by performing the GPR. During the beginning of the ritual, I felt the presence of my sponsor. Then at the end, I felt her return. Her return was accompanied by a tingling sensation in my forehead where my new horn was placed and a feeling of wanting to show off the horn to all other Axioms became apparent. The visualization of my corpse broken down and put back together came very easy although it did not happen as I had previously expected it to. The body was rebuilt limb by limb instead of put back together in small digital pieces buzzing with electricity. The culmination of the rite when I sacrificed my wand and declared myself an axiom was quite sad and full of emotion, this coupled with the blood sacrifice to the AX egregore led to a powerful gnosis. I burned the sigil and blood sacrifice and then performed the second GPR. During the ritual I became aware of an expansion of the ritual space. I remember looking to the right and seeing well beyond my field of awareness mentally. An opening up of the aetheric realm seemed to take place. Time and space became far away and I had an awareness of a new realm far removed from normal cognition. I now do as an Axiom.
