(Ten minutes before the planetary hour started, I performed - for the first time, I may add- the LBRP. Once it was the right time, I address Archangel Michael and started with the following:)

Petition to the Solar King Gracious Father who stands in the highest heaven You have watched over me from your rightful throne Loyal to a cause I fail to understand; still, I stand before you At the gate of Sol, ready to embrace this radiant light  Unable to claim the title of heir, I wish for you to recognize me And welcome me once again into your sovereign domain I thank thee for your grateful gift to my aspiring being I humbly request that you accept me as your kin Keep me in mind, so I shall feel your warmth in the sunshine Cometh back to your domain, I wish to elevate my soul Please grant me your blessing to discover my path under the sun Oh, great Father, hear my plea! I cry for you to acknowledge me as your son and part of the luminous In trying times, please stay by my side A simple look from over heaven will suffice to make me strong Remember me in your heart with kind and warm regards For I have remembered your radiance first, even before myself Great Father, may your stern stare pierce me with approval I shall be certain of my path with burning conviction As I stand at the gates of Sol, I call to your door foremost With the Sun as my witness, I wish for you to know I love thee with gentle devotion

(I allowed myself to utter some unscripted, heartfelt words, further showing my appreciation and asking for his blessing)

(Then I proceed to recite the hymn I wrote for the Sun)

Hymn to the Sun

Bravest, most gracious King Solemn sovereign Brightest of lights I embrace your warmth with earnest admiration And stand before you with confidence burning bright I confess I’m fond of your poised splendor Healing my soul with your rising flame A glance at your blazing majesty is enough To be filled with your magnanimous radiance And remember the way back to my truest purpose Royal mentor, brightest leader  Ruler of fiery transformation Ruler of the absolute truth Defender of roaring champions Protector of knight-like cubs Glorious rays emanate from your grace Golden rivers flowing from dawn to twilight Highest divinity, source of vivid life May your passion live in me, I am certain of a striking fate May your mystic light shine on your humble subject So we rejoice! Rejoice in the presence of the highest King!

(Then I moved on to the invocation of the Sun)

Sun Invocation & offerings

Supreme ruler Gleaming grace Blazing warrior   Incandescent glare Hereby, I surrender to your domain Hear my call, oh, joyous king   Grant me your favor Oh, bright one Oh, dignified monarch Shine your light on me Please open your shining gate Let me through, initiate me in your ways I beseech your sacred blessing Burning light evokes a radiant life Oh, high one, please hear my cry Please embrace my ember spirit Bless me with your presence! Sovereign Sun, please bless me!

(I proceed to present my offerings and petition the Sun for protection, enlightenment, and spiritual evolution)

Greatest Ruler, please initiate me in your sacred ways. Grant me protection so I may find my way to your sphere.  Deliver me from all evil so I may walk free from this curse. I request that you please guide me through this sunlit path. Please allow me to evolve in mind, soul, and spirit.

(Next, I focus on Archangel Michael's energy and call out to him)

Archangel Michael Invocation

Brightest and holiest flame Guardian of waning souls Let us celebrate our encounter Protector of rising warriors Patron of the good fight Hereby, I request your guidance Cometh to me at dusk I now come to you under a lenient light I humbly request your presence Let us meet, let us rejoice! Blessed be the day I met you, Heaven’s dearest prince Now I stand before you Highest mentor Strongest knight Please grant me this rendezvous Please manifest before me! (I talk to him directly and request he assist me in performing a cord-cutting ritual to distance myself from hell and my infernal enemies, as per instructed by Lucifer)

Cord cutting

I tied one end of the black thread I prepared to my pinky, and the other end to the wick of the white candle I dedicated to Archangel Michael

Once I feel ready, with lighter in hand, I recite a heartfelt incantation (requesting the Sun and Archangel Michael’s help) to put an end to this accursed union, and light the candle so its fire may burn the thread and sever the connection.

Meditation & Message from Archangel Michael

(This is how my conversation with Archangel Michael went)

I feel Archangel Michael flick my forehead. I look up and he says:

"You must wake up. You've made your choice, dear star. Rejoice! Rejoice in taking the reins of your path. Rejoice in being the chosen one in your story. There is much joy and love to uncover. You have risen victorious from the passage. Time will come when you no longer need this, need guidance from us. For now, allow us to show you the light you have chosen."

I ask him why he came to me that night and initiated me in these mysteries.

"A bright flame will always recognize a smaller flame burning bright. Things that are, things to be given, consider them a gift. I show you the path, it's in my nature to help the less fortunate; but you were not unfortunate, you simply needed a little push and some guidance."

I ask him about the revelation he previously mentioned was waiting for me.

"You are the brightest flame, but also the one that somehow manages to hurt itself in its burning."

I press.

"You are not ready yet, but it will come, that I can assure you."

I ask him what's the next step for me. I see a crown of flowers being laid on my head. It makes me feel like The Fool card in Tarot (emphasizing a new beginning).

"You are to learn everything you know again. Abandon the dark, the dusty, the uncertain. You have decided to walk the path of light, and so, you must trust that knowledge and the things you chase will come to you on this path. For that, you must be able to reach actualization both in mind and spirit. Focus on learning, you've got a long way ahead of you, and many things to fully understand."

"There's no need for words. My message will come at the right moment. I simply recognize you here and now as initiated. That's all you need to know for now."

I can't put into words, but I know he's making a joke of me getting the validation I wanted. For the first time, I perceive a light chuckle escape his lips.

For a moment, I feel his hand ruffling my hair.

"Dear one, I must go. I know there are things left unsaid, but trust I know and will reveal to you the ways of this path, as well as my mysteries and teachings. You are a bright flame, don't disregard it."

He finishes by telling me to let him go (not that he needs me to send him off, it's just a formality)

Gratitude to the Sun & Farewell to Archangel Michael

(Addressing Archangel Michael)

Holiest angel, greatest prince of angels, I thank you for your assistance in this pathworking of mine. I wholeheartedly welcome you into my life and accept your influence so I may meet my truest destiny.

Thank you for your guidance, now and always.

I bless you on your way back to your rightful domains!

(Addressing the Sun)

Magnanimous King, I am eternally grateful to Your Highness!

I thank thee for your presence, the mightiest blessing of all!

I trust I am initiated in your ways, please continue to shine your light in my life.

It's too late to stop them from watching. They are looking at this very moment. You must create a safe space not only through your energy, but also through your actions. Do not get distracted, fulfill your duty. It's you who you must find in the dark, not others. - Archangel Michael

I see a small light coming closer, alongside a thurible being swung rhythmically, much like a pendulum. It appears to be an angel, but I don't get the impression he's Gabriel.

He tells me to follow him, repeating this way. I hesitate; it's difficult to know who I can trust right now. I let it pass me by and focus on Luna and Archangel Gabriel.

"Great Moon"

(I light the candle)

Prayer to Luna

"I have walked in your shadow, and I have realized that I flee much like a dog does, right as your light makes itself present. Oh, majestous. Oh, illuminating one; I have staggered over your very revelation, for your light has exalted a painful but necessary truth. Luna, I embrace you. Luna, I let you go. Your light has reached its peak, and it's in your grandeur that I release myself. Please allow your passing assistance to leave its footprint on me, for I am open to it. Allow your light to shine on me, and allow me to connect with myself, my spirit, and my feelings. Exacerbate my qualities that answer to your light. Luna, first master in my path, strip my spirit from its blockages."

(I take the candle and proceed to cast a sacred circle)

As I traced the circle, spinning on my own axis, I could see the flame of the candle reveal creatures watching me in the dark. It's useless, though; they can't make it in. It's a safe space now.

Water incantation

"Primordial conduit, lunar mirror; channel the flow of the universe upon my humble request. I bless you from the bottom of my being, so when I drink you, you shall flow inside of me, and clench this thirst at once."

(I drink the water in the cup while repeating in my mind "flow inside me, universe", "flow within me, great moon", "wash away all blockages)

Archangel Gabriel Invocation

"Lunar master, spirit of light and harmony, preside over this change and put it in order with your harmony. Soon the wind shall blow in my direction, may your wings shield me from cuts and scratches. Holy angel, Holy heavenly being, divine messenger, I invoke you, Holy Archangel Gabriel! Listen to my prayer and don't forget my flaming request. Show me your way, Lunar master! Take me to my destination! Archangel Gabriel, I beseech you with my deepest wish. "

(I take the piece of paper where I wrote down my request and burn it with the flame of the candle)

(As the paper burns in the bowl, I request the angel once again in my head)

Full Moon Invocation

"From waning to waxing, you've grown, oh, great moon. Your passage is but a perpetual cycle, but I have uncovered your mysteries through the art of walking with you. For that reason, full moon, eternal moon, I invoke you so you may illuminate my life. May your pale light wake my spirit bound to shadows."

(I release the sigil/my sacrifice I used in the lunar initiation I from the mirror and burn it to free myself)

"Luna, I surrender this part of me to you."

"Hereby I surrender myself, my pain, my shortcomings, my limitations, and my chains."

(The paper resists the fire, but ultimately it burns down)

"Finish burning up, deliver yourself to the moon. Do not resist, surrender."

"I deliver myself to your everlasting grandeur, pure and eternal. Break my chains, master of beasts, for my spirit howls for you with passion. Absorb me, transport me, take me to the side of light and truth. Unruly moon, please release my spirit."

"Holy being, help me wake up."

"The moon shines in, not for the night."

Meditation and Automatic Writing with Archangel Gabriel

Do you see them? Many are the ones watching. They are witnessing this prowess, this revelation, this release. They, too, wish to release themselves from these shackles. They envy you, but you walk no easy path.

The moon has shown you darkness. What have you learned? You've even burned yourself in offering, drank from the well... Young one, oh, young one. You have come out of the dark and stepped into the bare face of the moon.

Now she is to judge, now she contemplates and takes over. And I, simply watch.

You wished to walk my path, and you wandered, but you have made it here. I give you my blessing to finish this initiation. It has served its purpose, to show you the things you fall for are lies, and how innocent you are. As for your character... It's naive. You've got much to learn, child, if you want to get to the bridge, to the gate of Mars, and face your destiny.

Oh, wonderful, you've delivered yourself to your path. Rejoice, let us celebrate your deliverance, for one day, at the end, it will grant you true freedom, the freedom you look for. You yearn, but you must achieve your goal.

Time will come soon (my mind wanders to my petition). Do not despair, you are being kept in mind. There are plans being worked on for you. Great things await.

Hereby, I comply with my role as a messenger. Here and now, I tell you, child, do not give up. Keep looking for the truth. Do be warned, though, that your own flame can and will burn you. Therefore, you're instructed to complete these initiations. It all serves a purpose; it all plays into your goal and future achievement.

Celebrate, soon you will celebrate. When things are right, the path will be smooth and gentle, like a breeze. This breeze has carried you to many places and many people. Now you're just in need of a push. So let your flame burn gently, and let it flow, like water, defying the laws and the natural.

Child, I truly celebrate with you. I am a bearer of great news, even if it's your wishful thinking, know your yearning will be heard.

And you... You will be seen, although that might not always play in your favor.

Sweet child, don't fear to irradiate light in a world of darkness. You've made it out stronger, with your fire burning brighter. For Sol, I cannot tell, but you are a mighty flame; you just need to learn to dance.

Merry one, wondrous, all in due time.

There will be those that appear friendly but are only seeking to harm you, and there will be suspicious allies whose intentions are unclear, but do not seek your downfall.

You will see stars, but don't let them consume you. Your fire must burn only for yourself.

Archangel Gabriel, what do I need to know to finish this Lunar Initiation in peace?

Do not despair, faith is always stronger in the wake of doubt and challenges.

Daughter of the Sun, I command you, beseech your kind, and follow your domain. Soon you will reach the gate of Sol, and you might find unexpected answers to questions you didn't even know you had.

This initiation might feel more like a courtesy, but you are on the right track. Just keep believing, for much like the moon, when faith wanes, it is sure to wax again.

Let that be the teaching of Luna.

Farewell to Archangel Gabriel

"Oh, Holy angel. Do not forget my request on your way back. I thank you for hearing my calling. Holy angel, may you return peacefully to your domain. Blessed one, I thank you enormously!"

"May Luna complete her cycle, and my initiation conclude at the gate of Sol."

St. Michael. I feel you're watching from afar. If you wish to observe, you're free to do so.

Belial, St. Joseph, St. Gabriel, Luna. Here I come.

"On this new moon night, I come before thee, Luna, and my guardian spirits, ready to start my path in the Lunar sphere."

(I proceed to invoke my 4 spirit parents in their corresponding cardinal direction)

(I take the candle into my right hand and with my left index finger, I trace a circle of both sacred and black fire around me)

"Before you, patron of mine, lord of the north, I make myself present with a sacrifice, as St. Joseph watches over. May he be the monolith that watches over this ceremony. Austere pillar, watch over the conditions of this passage so they may be the right ones."

"Now I invoke you, grandiose moon! Here, your dark face shows itself, and I see myself chained to you with fear and insecurity. Today, I present a sacrifice before you. I shall place my ego at the altar and ask the holy Archangel Gabriel to accept this self-sacrifice. At the gate of Luna, I let my ego surrender before the path's and your glory."

"And it shall be my patron, Belial, who picks it up as payment."

(I proceed to present my sacrifice)

Belial, St. Joseph, please accept this sacrifice. It's the most sincere and selfless thing I can offer right now. Please don't reject me, grandiose moon. Embrace me in your shadow, embrace me.

Archangel Gabriel Invocation

(Standing)

"Holy angel Gabriel, I invoke you in my life and my path! Show me the path to light, and may this crescent path guide me to fulfillment and grandeur of the universe, but also of my evolving self."

"Holy Archangel, prepare me for manifestation! I kneel before you and beg of you:"

(Kneeling)

"Holy angel, holy lunar being, I deliver myself into the mysteries of thy kingdom. From shadow to light, pour your lunar water into my cup. Purify me from all evil and pride.

In this somber phase, I shall be my shadow. I shall see it, and trust with my eyes closed that you will trace the best path for me under the divine. And that it may guide me to spiritual evolution.

Blessed being consecrated in mercy, I understand your role as a guide in this ceremony, and in this path leading to the altar of vanguard.

Holy Archangel Gabriel, manifest yourself in my life!

And I shall open my eyes to your sacred mercy."

(I proceed to drink the water in the cup)

Meditation & Deliverance

(I see Archangel Gabriel standing before me in the eye of my mind. He's wearing a white robe flowing in divinity. His wings are somewhere between pink and yellow. His hair is something akin to a very curly, blonde bob. His face is fairly feminine, and he gazes at me with mercy.)

Holy Archangel Gabriel, I have something to give you. Hereby I deliver this sacred heart, burning in fire, that has been given to me. I do not understand what it is. I don't understand, I don't know what its purpose is, but I was told I was to deliver this to (all of) you. You're the chosen messenger, so I give it to you, for you to make use of it as it shall be done. It's not my duty to understand; it simply is to do it. So please, Gabriel, accept this heart.

(I see the light and fire of the heart, and Gabriel saves it in his chest, holding it with love.)

There is something I wish to ask of you.

"You may tell me, love."

(I petition Archangel Gabriel)

"I shall see. God's ways are mysterious. But I shall accept your petition. Today you step into the dark sphere of Luna. You see through the black eye, and you see shadows, you see chains, but you have delivered the darkest shadow before me.

Twilight is dark, as well as the night, but the night reveals great mysteries, and I am in charge of illuminating that life, that phase, with the moon's various faces. I repeat myself, today you step into the darkest face, and it's from within this phase that you decide to manifest your wish and petition.

You've done well, my son. You've done well. Humbly offer yourself, and we shall listen to you.

This is the beginning of your path. Maybe you don't understand this commitment, but you understand the importance of this step. Once you initiate, you can hardly step back.

Tell me, do you wish to evolve, do you wish to continue?

Yes, holy Archangel Gabriel. Please accept me and guide me through this lunar phase. Guide me through this darkness and light.

Then I shall oblige. I shall guide you with the greatest stars, with the light that manifests and reveals the dark and the light.

I am to go back now. I shall deliver what you've given me.

You've done well, my son."

(Gabriel leaves, but some of his energy remains in my space)

Farewell to Archangel Gabriel

"Holy being of life, oh, Archangel Gabriel. I thank you for illuminating my path and for initiating me into the lunar mysteries. May your teachings shape and grant me purpose.

Holy being of light, you're free to go back to the place you come from." (To my spirits)

As for Belial and Saint Joseph, I thank you for being present at the ceremony. The same goes for St. Michael for supervising everything.

Now I shall pledge allegiance:

"There's no turning back. May this initiation guide me to my destiny."

(I close the circle and thank my guides)

Archangel Michael message

After thanking my guides, Archangel Michael tells me he would like a word with me.

You've completed the first stage of the lunar initiation. Do you understand what you've done?

I may not fully understand it, but my being understands it's an important and necessary step. I understand it's a commitment, and that I'm burning bridges that are no longer needed by doing so.

How do you feel?

I feel uncertain, but confident; confident that beings of light guide me.

Watch your step in the shadows. Watch the wings that shield you. Watch the reasons by which you make certain alliances. You shall see the light one day. When you reach Sol, my revelation will be scorching. You must be ready by then. If you're not, you might burn. And there will be no shadow to hide in, for the sun shines over everything, and you have delivered your shadow to the moon, at least what you were able to.

That would be all, I dismiss you. Go to bed.
