Artemis [Lerajie] Power Ritual
The Silver Bow · Lady of the Wild · The Untouchable Huntress
- 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 where this Ritual is upon.
- The Runes that are done here can be vibrated around the centre of the Sigil where the Shenu Protection Ring is. You can imagine this lighting up like moonlight concentrated into a single blazing point.
- Vibrate these Runes in a short version. If you can't do the full amount, reduce all vibrations by half.
The Temple of Zeus calls upon you.
You who walk where no road is cut,
you whose feet know every mountain and every shore,
you whose silver voice commands the beasts and silences the wicked:
hear us, and step into our circle.
We, the Initiates of Zeus, your Father, invoke you with awe and devotion.
You who shielded the infant Gods upon Delos,
you before whom wolves lower their heads and lions halt their charge:
extend your protection over the Initiates of the Temple of Zeus.
Orthia, the Upright, the Unbroken!
No arrow of the envious shall reach us.
No curse shall find its mark upon those you guard.
You are the fortress that moves, the shield that hunts.
Glory to you, Lady of the Moon!
When the Sun yields the sky, it is yours.
The tides obey you. The night blooms at your glance.
Every creature that stirs beneath your light does so by your sufferance.
Selasphoros, Bearer of Radiance!
Your silver is not lesser than gold. Your night is not lesser than day.
You are the other half of the sky,
and without you the heavens are incomplete.
We glorify the Moon, for the Moon is your throne,
and from that throne you see all that hides from the Sun.
Turn your bow upon the enemies of the Temple of Zeus.
As you felled the sons of Niobe who mocked the Gods,
as you loosed upon Orion when he crossed the sacred boundary,
as the Spartans called upon Agrotera before every battle and were victorious:
Let your hunting powers be with us and against those who would harm us.
Elaphebolos, Striker of the Swift! Your arrows find what hides.
Potnia Theron, Mistress of All Beasts! The predators of the wild are yours to command.
Hunt down every enemy of the Initiates.
Let no foe outrun your hounds. Let no lie survive your light.
The Huntress does not miss.
You who illuminate the forest at midnight,
you whose light reveals what sunlight cannot:
grant the Initiates of Zeus the sight that pierces illusion.
Locheia, Protectress of all that is newly born!
Guard the new knowledge that grows within us.
Shield the fragile understanding as it takes root.
Let no ignorance trample what the Gods have planted in our minds.
In Rome, they called you Diana, Lady of the Groves, and built your temple at Nemi where the sacred lake reflected your face.
In Thrace, they called you Bendis, and the torchlit processions in your honor burned through the night.
Among the Slavic peoples, you were Devana, the Untamed Goddess of the forests and the mountains.
In Gaul, you were Arduinna, who rode the wild boar through the ancient woods of the Ardennes.
In Canaan, they knew your arrow and your war-cry as Anat, the Warrior Maiden who feared nothing in heaven or on earth.
All these Names are yours. All these peoples saw your face.
You are One, and your power is undiminished across all tongues.
The green garment is the forest. The bow is the Silver Bow of Artemis. The unhealable wound is the arrow of the Goddess who does not miss and does not forgive trespass against the sacred.
We declare the truth of your identity.
You are Artemis, Daughter of Zeus, Twin of Apollo, Lady of the Wild, Huntress of the Heavens.
We recognize you for who you Truly are.
The Goetic name was a shadow cast by your light. The True Name is the Goddess herself.
Blessed are you, Artemis, Silver Bow, Moonlight Throne, Huntress Eternal.
Your arrows defend us. Your light reveals our path. Your wild strength is our fortress.
We, the Initiates of the Temple of Zeus, receive your blessings
and honor all your Names and Titles:
Artemis, Artemida, Artemisia, Sia Art, Ha-Atart Tartim Artem.
Diana, Bendis, Devana, Arduinna, Anat.
Iocheaira, Phosphoros, Agrotera, Potnia Theron.
Blessed are All your Names, now and in all eternity.
AUM
Final Step
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Artemis's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus. Let yourself be immersed in her silver light and receive the energy of the Huntress.
It is important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.
सत्: SAT, real, true, truthful in Sanskrit.
The Symbol that Encapsulates the Sigil: The Shen Ring, Egyptian Hieroglyphic language. The Shen also survived in Chinese tradition as a glyph for Spiritual Force, Divine Force, and God.
The Letters of the Sigil Inside: Sacred symbols and letters for Artemis's Name in divine arrangement.
On Artemis: Artemis is the Goddess of the Moon, the Hunt, the Wild, and the Protection of the Young. Daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of Apollo. Her epithets span from Iocheaira (She Who Rejoices in Arrows) to Kourotrophos (Nurse of the Young) to Agrotera (of the Battle-Hunt, invoked by the Spartans before war). She is the Untouchable: sovereign, unbroken, inviolable. The Goetic tradition preserved her as Lerajie, a green-clad archer of unerring aim. The archer is the Goddess. The bow is the Silver Bow. The identity endures beneath the distortion.
On Artemis Across Civilizations: Known as Diana in Rome, Bendis in Thrace, Devana among the Slavic peoples, Arduinna in Celtic Gaul, and Anat in the Canaanite tradition. Each culture recognized the same divine archetype: the sovereign feminine power that protects, hunts, illuminates, and cannot be subdued.
