Argus's [Agares] Power Ritual
Argus Panoptes, the All-Seeing One, Guardian of Io, Ordained by Hera, He of a Hundred Eyes
- This Ritual is based on vibrating the Runes and making certain affirmations. Raising your energies before the Ritual is advised.
- The Sigil that is provided is the point of focus for this Ritual.
- The Runes that are done here can be vibrated around the center of the Sigil, where the Shenu Protection Ring is. You can imagine this lighting up so much, like the Sun has a layer of light surrounding all of it.
- Vibrate these Runes in a short version [i.e., do not draw the runic vibration on a very big breath, especially for those who are new and can't do that many vibrations]. Click here to pronounce the runes.
- This Ritual contains 223 Vibrations, which is about 2 circles of Mala beads. If you can't do that many, reduce the number of vibrations by half [e.g., instead of vibrating the Runes 10 times each, only do 5 vibrations].

The Goetic tradition preserved you as Agares, the second spirit, a Duke commanding 31 legions, riding a crocodile. The mouths of Yehubor have uttered of you "a spirit who teaches languages and causes earthquakes." The Zevists know the truth: You are ARGUS PANOPTES (Ἄργος Πανόπτης), the All-Seeing, ordained by Hera herself as guardian and watcher. He who teaches all languages is He whose hundred eyes observe all nations and understand all tongues. He who shakes the earth is He whose vigilance makes the ground tremble beneath the feet of the unjust.
We declare the truth of your identity. We recognize you for who you Truly are.
All-seeing are you, see us!
Blessed are you, and blessed are all Your Names and Attributes!
Blessed are we, by blessing You!
Your Vision is into the Light of Eosforos!
All-Seeing One,
Great Is Your Power!
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Argus's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus, or the one below. Let yourself be immersed and receive energy from Argus.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

On Argus Panoptes
Argus Panoptes (Greek: Ἄργος Πανόπτης, "Argus the All-Seeing") is a primordial giant in Greek mythology, described as having a hundred eyes distributed across his body, of which only a few would sleep at any given time, making him the perfect guardian. Hera appointed him to watch over Io, the priestess whom Zeus had transformed into a heifer. Ovid (Metamorphoses I.622-723) provides the most detailed account: after Hermes slew Argus, Hera placed his eyes upon the tail of her sacred bird, the peacock, so that his vigilance would endure forever. The name Panoptes ("all-seeing") connects Argus to the concept of divine omniscience and spiritual clairvoyance. His "two aspects" referenced in the ritual correspond to his dual role: watching the external world for threats and watching the internal world of the Initiate for spiritual progress.

On Agares (Goetic #2)
The Goetia lists Agares as the second spirit: a Duke commanding 31 legions, appearing as an old man riding a crocodile and carrying a goshawk. His attributed powers (teaching all languages, causing earthquakes, making runaways return) correspond to the all-seeing, all-comprehending nature of Argus Panoptes. The crocodile is a Nilotic survival: the watchful reptile whose eyes sit above the water line, seeing all while appearing submerged, paralleling Argus's sleepless vigilance. The name Agares is a phonetic contraction of Argos/Argeas.
