i should probably start doing them(again) alongside mystical prayers of pope Leo, considering my Saturn return is one month away from going exact.

Oo yess!

I’ve enjoyed praying them in the morning as part of my daily practice. I’ve also found doing a more direct/empowering prayer (usually angelic in nature) prior to the planetary prayers adds a little extra movement.

I’ve been experimenting with the order of my morning prayers and feeling what flows best for me. Curious to hear how it might work out for you!

Every act of “magic” falls within a pattern of a greater design. Each moment and instance of ceremony is a fraction of a whole which is already present. Alchemy is the translation of the infinite and eternal into its unique expression in the present moment.

Each moment is a star studded onto the back of the Great Serpent. Every minute is a scale on the Dragon’s hide. Magic is the method of opening a fraction of time like a window.

Yet, there is more to Orion than his prowess as a hunter— not to, however, minimize the importance of his hunterly aspects. Orion is associated with death and resurrection via his connection to Sah-Osiris. In Ancient Egyptian religion, Sah was a deity associated with a constellation that included the stars of Orion. His consort, Sopdet, known to the Greeks as Sothis, was the goddess linked to the star Sirius. Over time, Sah became identified with the more prominent god of the dead, Osiris, while Sopdet was connected to Isis, Osiris’s consort. Both Sirius and Orion were tied to the annual flooding of the Nile. Sirius’s appearance in mid-June marked the start of the river’s gradual rise, which reached its peak by August in Upper Egypt and September in the northern regions. After seventy days of invisibility, Orion’s stars reappeared in the night sky, coinciding with the river turning a reddish color due to oxide sediments from the floodwaters. This red hue was evocative of blood—perhaps symbolizing the blood of Osiris. Mythologically, Isis’s tears (Sirius) for the slain Osiris (Sah/Orion) were believed to cause the river’s swelling. The dismemberment and scattering of Osiris’s body throughout Egypt symbolized the ritual fertilization of the land. His blood metaphorically transformed into water, which nourished the earth to bring forth life. When Orion became visible again, the floodwaters began to recede, and the first mounds of land emerged from the water, giving rise to new vegetation. The saturated black soil symbolizes rebirth, as Osiris himself was resurrected, his skin depicted as green like the lush plants of the valley.
