  O Yeshuah, master of the adepts, we give you all praise, blessings and peace. We beseech you to intercede on our behalf to gain for us the assistance of the elemental beings, the Sylphs, Undines, Salamanders and Gnomes, to aid and obey our brotherhood in our work. May you give us a greater understanding of these beings and their relationship to us while we are entangled within this realm of darkness.

 

May our Roses flourish upon the Cross. +Amen+

 

  Spirit of Light, Spirit of Wisdom, whose breath gives and takes away the form of all things; Thou before whom the life of every being is a shadow which transforms and a vapor which passes away; Thou who transcendeth upon the clouds and dost fly upon the wings of the wind; Thou who breathest out and the limitless immensities are peopled; Thou who breathest in and all which came forth from Thee unto Thee returneth; endless movement in the eternal stability, be Thou blessed forever! We praise Thee and we bless Thee in the fleeting empire of created light, of shadows, reflections, and images, and we aspire without ceasing towards Thine immutable and imperishable splendor. May the ray of Thine intelligence and the warmth of Thy love descend upon us, than what is volatile shall be fixed, the shadow shall become body, the Spirit of the air shall receive a soul, and the dream is a thought. We shall be swept away no more before the tempest, but shall bridle the winged steeds of the morning, and guide the course of the evening winds, that may flee into Thy presence. O Spirit of Spirits, O eternal Soul of Souls, O imperishable Breath of life, O creative Sigh, O mouth which dost breath forth and withdraw the life of all beings in the ebb and now of Thine eternal speech, which is the Divine ocean of movement and the truth! Amen.

 

  Dread king of the sea, who hast the keys of the floodgates of heaven, and dost confine the waters of the underworld in the caverns of the earth; King of the deluge and the floods of the springtime; Thou who dost unseal the sources of rivers and fountains; Thou who does ordain moisture, which is like the blood of earth, to become the sap of plants: Thee we adore and Thee we evoke!  Speak unto us, Thine inconstant and unstable creatures, in the great tumults of the sea, and we shall tremble before Thee; Speak unto us also in the murmur of limpid waters, and we shall yearn for Thy love! O immensity into which flow all the rivers of life, to be continually reborn in Thee! O ocean of infinite perfections! Height which reflects Thee in the depth, depth which exhales Thee to the height, lead us unto true life by intelligence and love! Lead us to immortality by sacrifice, that we may be found worthy one day to offer Thee water, blood and tears, for the remission of sins! Amen.

 

Immortal, eternal, ineffable, and uncreated Father of all things, who art born upon the ever rolling chariot of worlds which revolve unceasingly: Lord of the ethereal immensities, where the throne of Thy power is exalted, from which height Thy terrible eyes discern all things, and Thy holy and beautiful ears unto all things hearken, hear Thou Thy children, whom Thou didst love before the ages began; for Thy golden, Thy grand, Thine eternal majesty shines above the world and the heaven of stars! Thou art exalted over them, O glittering fire! There dost Thou shine, there dost Thou commune with Thyself by Thine own splendor, and inexhaustible streams of light pour from Thine essence for the nourishment of Thine infinite spirit, which itself doth nourish all things, and forms that inexhaustible treasure of substance ever ready for generation, which adapts it and appropriates the forms Thou hast impressed on it from the beginning!  From this Spirit the three most holy kings who surround Thy throne and constitute Thy court, derive also their origin, O universal Father! O sole and only Father of blessed mortals and immortals! In particular Thou hast created powers which are marvelously like unto Thine eternal thought and Thine adorable essence; Thou hast established them higher than angels, who proclaim Thy will to the world; finally, Thou hast created us third in rank within our elementary empire. There our unceasing exercise is to praise Thee and adore Thy good pleasure; there we burn continually in our aspiration to possess Thee. O Father! O Mother, most tender of all mothers; O admirable archetype of maternity and of pure love! O Son, flower of sons! O form of all forms, soul, spirit, harmony, and number of all things. Amen.

 

  King invisible, who, taken the earth as a support, didst furrow the abysses to fill them with Thine omnipotence; Thou whose name doth shake the vaults of the world, Thou who causest the seven metals to flow through the veins of the rock, monarch of the seven lights, rewarder of the subterranean toilers, lead us unto the desirable air, and to the realm of splendor. We watch and we work unremittingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the Holy City, by the hidden talismans, by the pole of lodestone, which passes through the center of the world! Savior, Savior, have pity on those who suffer, expand our hearts, detach and elevate our minds, enlarge our entire being! O stability and motion! O day clothed with night. O darkness veiled by light. O master who never keepest back the wages of Thy laborers! O silver whiteness! O golden splendor! O crown of living and melodious diamonds! Thou who wearest the heaven on Thy finger like a sapphire ring, Thou who concealest under the earth, in the stone kingdom, the marvelous seed of stars. Live, reign, be the eternal dispenser of the wealth whereof Thou hast made us the warders! Amen.
