Assumption of the stellar body of Orion

by Al Skanda <lfksndr@yahoo.com>

This ritual combines stellar magick with technique called assumption of the godforms plus chakra charging.

Godform here is the stellar body of Orion.

Orion is portrayed in mythologies worldwide as a hunter, a giant or a warrior. He is often shown wearing a lion's skin on the back, club in his hand, or some other weapon such as bow & arrows, or spear.

Google for some images of Orion, this is essential for the working.

In Egypt, mummy Osiris is reborn in the stellar body of Orion, called Sahu.

To Arabians Orion was Al Najid, 'The Conqueror', Al Jabbar, 'The Giant', Al Shuja, 'The Snake', Al Babadur, 'The Strong One'; to the Greeks he was Arion; in the Canaanite myth Aqhat, while the Chinese referred to it as 'The White Tiger'.

Homer and Hesiod describe Orion as both hunter and constellation.  Greek name could have been inspired by the Akkadian title URU.ANNA or 'Light of Heaven'.

A cuneiform text from Nippur , currently dated c. 1300-1000 BCE, contains the name, SIBA.AN.NA , an Assyrian constellation, 'True Shepard of the Sky' equated with Orion, though the name goes back to Old Babylonian times, c. 1830-1530 BCE.

Reading and learning mythologies around Orion helps set the mind into the working.

You can also use any invocations, evocations, sigils or symbols.

Working:

This working will activate lesser known chakras.

Position your body in that way so your back is facing actual constellation in the sky.

Now, similar to the kabalist cross:

Charge, draw, feel, enter, acknowledge:

 - My right shoulder is the shoulder of Orion-Betelgeuse.

 - My left shoulder is the shoulder of Orion-Bellatrix.

 - My throat is the throat of Orion-Meissa.

The same with the belt of Orion:

Central star corresponds to the hara/swadisthana/sex center; and the left and right stars are placed around hips:

- Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka.

Two lower stars are placed on the level of knees.

- Saiph, Rigel.

If you will, you can incorporate smaller star of Orion into this.

You are now the king risen, immortal one of the stars.

Mantra SA SEKHEM SAHU could help this activation.

From egyptian magick:

Behold he has come as Orion, behold Osiris has come as Orion. . . O king, the sky conceives you with Orion, the dawn-light bears you with Orion. . . you will regularly ascend with Orion from the eastern regions of the sky, you will regularly descend with Orion in the western region of the sky."
                                                                       (Pyramid Texts, line 820-2)

 "O king, you are this Great Star, the Companion of Orion, who traverses the sky with Orion, who Navigates the (Duat) Netherworld with Osiris; you ascend from the east of the sky, being renewed in your due season, and rejuvenated in your due time. The sky has born you with Orion. . ."
                                                                       (Pyramid Texts, line 882-3)

 "I am a soul. . . I (am) a star of gold. . ."
                                                               (Pyramid Texts, Line 886-9)
