Working with the Horned God

2/13/2012

16 Comments

 
Greetings once again, dear readers.  As of late, I've found that I've been posting more and more, on EvocationMagic, about the Horned God.  I feel as though its time that I post a ritual that one can use to get in touch with the deity in question, as that appears to be what the world needs right now.

Before I start, however, it is worth posting that this information, as always, comes with its own price for you.  You may not think that this will be the case now, but you'll find that after you do the work, your life will change. It may be a slow burn, or it may be changed forever in an instant, but rest assured, it will change.  How it changes will depend on you, more than it will depend on Him.  Forgive me if I sound melodramatic, but this is one of those circumstances wherein I've found that its best to give such a warning.

He has a way of laying His seeds of knowledge in your mind, letting them slowly take root and grow, until they overcome the pre-existing structures, much like bamboo has a habit of growing up through pavement.  This is rather fitting, however, seeing as how the Horned God has had such a formative impact on human cultures throughout the ages.

Necessary Tools/Ingredients:

3 Green Candles
Patchouli Oil
Something to write or draw on, etch into, etc.
Something to write with, draw with, etch with, etc.
A glass of water or some other such offering.


The Ritual:

As always, find a place that you can sit or stand at comfortably, where you can place the candles and the offering, as well as place the implement you will draw on or etch into.  Get yourself into your magic-ey mindset however you like.

When you feel as though you're ready to start, you will need to prepare the space as you see fit.  If that means you need to banish, do so, and if not, that's cool too.  Once that is done, you will begin to setup the ritual space.

Draw out an inverted triangle figure shown below (Forgive the rather crappy drawing...I only had access to MS Paint when I made it). The words in the "legs" of the triangle are Thesis, Synthesis, and Antithesis, and represent the various natures of the deity you are about to work with.  Once the figure has been drawn and set down on the table, altar, or work area, anoint the three green candles with the patchoulie oil, and set one in each of the diamond shapes in the figure.

When you're ready to start, lay out the offering in the center of the triangle, and say the following oration: "I call to you, Horned Hunter of the Wilds.  Please make yourself known to me, and work your will upon my body and my world.  Show me each of your forms, and teach me all that you can.  I humbly ask that you accept this offering and hear my call."

Once that has been done, simply sit and relax.  See if you feel anything different in the atmosphere around you.  Many times, people have reported not feeling anything, only to be beset by strange dreams and weird occurances.  That's not exactly abnormal.

When you are done, do not banish the energy.  Simply get up and go about your business.

Please feel free to post your experiences here.  I would be curious to hear about them.

Enjoy!

I really like this, thanks for sharing. I also like that it's simple and can be easily performed. I've done a lot of work with the horned god but have never tried an evocation approach (Which I'm getting more into these days). I'm going to have to try it.

Seillean posted back in 2012, so I'm not sure if he reads this anymore. If he does, I'd be interested to see what he says here.

I've had a phenomenal amount of success with work like this, and its usually rather uplifting. :)

Thank you for the comment. I don't tend to enjoy superfluous, gaudy evocations...they fly in the face of reason and practicality, I find, as its too easy to get lost in the psychodrama. Spirits, in my view, aren't typically part of our psyche, so to get lost in the psychodrama whilst trying to evoke them is disrespectful. That very point of view is the reason why I've posted such a direct and simple method.

If you do try this, please let me know how it works out for you. I'd certainly be curious to hear and read of your results!

Take care,

Thank you for outlining this in such detail and without the "psychodrama" as you say.

I do have a question, though. You mention to ask for him to "work your will upon my body and my world". You also say that anyone who performs this ritual will have their lives changed. Obviously circumstances for each individual will be much different, but could you elaborate a little on what one might expect?

There's a reason I ask. Long story, and I won't clutter your blog with it, but let's say I've paid a pretty hefty and life-changing price already to achieve the success I've currently experienced -- a rising from the ashes, as it were. To ask this of an ancient and powerful entity without fully understanding the ramifications may distract me too much from the task, something I want to avoid.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for answering if you have a moment.

Kei,

You are quite welcome. I am glad that you enjoyed the ritual.

As for the changes one might expect, well, the results will, naturally, change depending on your circumstances. That appears to be the way of magic to begin with, and in this case, when working with the Horned God, one tends to notice that He becomes a mirror of you, so to speak. Instead of being set and unchanging, He tends to be exactly what you need at that time.

That being the case, typically, you'll end up getting a response that is a bit adversarial, as He is a challenger. If you've been clinging to some silly ideal that's keeping you from growing, that'll be the first thing to go. Changes like this are usually rather painful, as your life shifts so that you can make the realization, but ultimately it tends to be worthwhile.

I can certainly understand your position, however. This is, without a doubt, risky business, as you're playing with a very primordial entity. My experience in matters like this would lead me to urge you to go ahead with the rite, as even if it turns out to be a difficult challenge, it'll enrich your life at the end of the road.

I do hope that helps.

Regards,

This is interesting. Where did you get the idea to use Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis on the triangle? I have never seen that before but it is a really cool idea psychologically.
How do you find it compares to using divine names and the like?

Nick,

Thank you for your post here. To answer your question, I originally got the idea to use the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis triad from gnosis received by and through working with the Horned God.
Its rather difficult to explain in words, so I will do my best to relate the information in human terms.

The idea, as it was explained to me, is that there are four main states of being/polarity:
1) Void: Unoccupied space
2) Thesis: The start of matter/existence
3) Antithesis: The opposing side to the matter/existence of Thesis (essentially the reflection thereof)
4) Synthesis: The end result of the combination of the "positive" and "negative" matters of the Thesis and Antithesis.

Each of those "conditions" are intrinsic to creation, maintenance, destruction, and recreation, as we see in the axioms "Solve et Coagula" (from Alchemy), IAO (from Graeco-Egyptian magical praxis), and the triad of Anaphaxeton-Anapheneton-Tetragrammaton (ritual magic). The Void "condition" is the space between each of the other states, much like the Sanskrit intonation of Om or the Hebrew letter Vau.

The space within the Triangle is void space, and is, quite literally, transmuted through the magician/witch/sorcerer/etc's interaction with it. In runic magic, this same POV is marked by the use of the rune Dagaz, which specifically symbolizes the Synthesis "condition", and thereby the internal pressure and power that is created through the the delicate balance between two equal, but opposite, forces.

I do hope that makes a bit of sense.

Thank you for your response. I may well publish this information in a book in the future, though at present, I am not certain when I will have time to sit down and write much of what I know.

Instead of a paper can you use the floor and draw it with chalk or something would that be fine also

You can ask for wisdom, Power, Money, right ?

And for the oil is there a certain kind that should be used

That would work, Lilo. At least insofar as chalking the sigil on the ground.

Asking for something as non-specific as money, power, influence, etc. won't get you very far, though. That's true across the spectrum of magical action and results, however, as each of those things can range from easy-to-fulfill desires to things that are entirely outside of your grasp.

As with all things, having a realistic plan of action for how to get what you're after is key. As mentioned in my most recent blog post, you need specific things to focus on.

If you want money, get a job. If you need more money, get another job. If you want more responsibility in one of those jobs, pursue a promotion. Etc. etc. Blanket statement requests don't generally tend to work out so well in the end. ;)
