FIRE: Invocation and Banishment

Magical Golden Dawn

Invoking and Banishing Fire

The five steps to perform an Invoking of Fire Ritual are to 1) decide upon and frame your intention, 2) face South and draw the symbol for Fire clockwise in bright transparent red flame, 3) state your intention, 4) leave the ritual open for a period of time, and 5) close the ritual.

Fire is the Element of your Desires. It's the Third World of the Tree of Life. This means Fire contains both Air and Water and is the child of both. Desires are a combination of thoughts (Air) and emotions (Water). Fire is also the Element of your passions, drive, force, energy, enthusiasm, intuitive insights, needs, wants and related things. Your intention for invoking Fire is to help you improve, realize, attain or control one of these aspects of your life. Put your intention into your own words. This is Step One.

Face South and place your index finger in approximately the same position as for starting the symbol for Air. This point is the top of a triangle. Draw a line down and to your right as far as you can reach at about level with your lower belly. Continue drawing from right to left at this level to form the base of the triangle. At the left-most point of this base continue drawing back up to the beginning point. Imagine this triangle as being brilliant, transparent, red flame composed of one inch thick lines and the red flame filling the whole triangle. This is Step Two.

For Step Three voice your intention. Then wait as long as you want for Fire to do its thing. Leaving the ritual open for this purpose is Step Four. Step Five is to draw this same Fire symbol counter-clockwise and imagine it as bright transparent red flame while thanking Fire for the service provided: "Thank you Fire for _____ and now I banish all negative desires and energy from within and around me."

The two steps for the Banishing of Fire Ritual are to 1) face South and draw the symbol for Fire counter-clockwise in bright transparent red flame, and 2) state your intention to banish negative and unwanted desires, intentions, passions, addictions, habits and energy far away from you. The first step is the same as given above but the triangle is drawn counter-clockwise. The second step is to state your intention to banish negative passions, intentions, energy, drive, force, needs, wants, addictions, habits and desires from within and around you and keep them far away from you.

We suggest you practice these rituals for one week and see what you think. If you need more practice, continue your practice. If you feel comfortable with banishing and invoking the Element of Fire, proceed to the next rituals for invoking and banishing the Element of Water.
