(YOD - FIRE - PROJECTION)

O Thou Hawk-Headed Mystical Lord,
Thou Whose Word is the Great Reward!
Only-begotten Child who I acclaim,
From Mighty Isis and Osiris Slain!
Thou Avenger of the Unspeakable Horror:
Slayer of Typhon, Thee whom I adore!
Thou who didst lift thine Holy Head
And the Nile Crocodile was defeated!
Thou who dost conceal with the Night
This Immense Universe of starry-light!
Thou who dost abide at the glorious Helm
Of the Boat of Ra, in the infinite Realm!
Thou who dost bear the Magick Double-Wand,
And the Rose and Cross of the Mystick Bond,
Thee I invoke from the Inscrutable Beyond!

(HEH - WATER - RECEPTION)

By Thy Name of Ra, Thou Hawk of the Sun,
Thee I invoke, Thou Most Glorious One!
By Thy Name Harmachis, Youth of Sunrise,
Thee I invoke to appear and to arise!
By Thy Name of Mau, Thou Lion of Power,
Thee I invoke of the Hot Mid-day Hour!
By Thy Name of Tum, Thou Hawk of Even,
Thee I invoke of the Sunset Crimson!
By Thy Name Kheph-Ra, Thou Beetle of Night,
Thee I invoke, O Thou Sun of Midnight!
By Heru-Pa-Kraat, Thou Lord of Defense,
Thee I invoke from the Great Silence!
By Thy Name HOORI, Thy Secret Holy Name,
Thee I invoke, and Thee I now acclaim,
O Warrior Lord of the Red-Ruby Flame!

Strike, Strike, the Master Chord!

Crowned Child and Conquering Lord!

Horus, Avenger!

(VAV - AIR - UNIFICATION)

Mine is the Head of the Man of this Rite,
As keen and subtle as the Hawk’s is my Sight!
By my Head I invoke Thee, O Lord of the Light!
It is I, the only-begotten Child I say,
Of the Sun and Moon, of both Night and Day!
By my body I invoke Thee, and to Thee I pray!
For mine is the Sign that is given of none,
Save it be of Thee, O Thou Hawk-Headed Son!
By the Sign I invoke Thee, O Thou Mighty One!
And mine is the Triumphant Sign of Apophis,
The Destroyer and Mighty Lord of Darkness!
It is I who bears the Word of Double Power,
And the Song of Old which I sing this hour!
And in my hand is Thy Holy Sword to Avenge,
By these I invoke Thee, O Lord of Revenge!

​

Strike, Strike, the Master Chord!

Draw, Draw, the Flaming Sword!

Crowned Child and Conquering Lord!

Horus, Avenger!

​

(HEH FINAL - EARTH - MATERIALIZATION)

Mine is the Head of the Hawk of Flame:
Child of Isis and Osiris is my Name!
It is I who formulated my Father above,
And I who made fertile my Mother with Love!
I am the Avenger of the Unspeakable Terror,
Of Great Typhon, I am the Mighty Slayer!
It was I, the One who raised my Holy Head
And the Nile Crocodile was annihilated!
It is I who shrouds the Night-Blue Sky
With my Vast Nemyss as I soar and fly!
It is I who abides at the glorious Helm
Of the Boat of Ra, in the infinite Realm!
It is I who bears the Double-Wand of Power,
And the Cross of Gold and the Ruby Flower,
For I am Horus, Who is invoked this Hour!

Horus, Avenger!
