Ptah, Hephaistos (Mulciber/Vulcan) Power Ritual
Grand Architect of the Gods, Self-Begotten, Lord of Defined Measurement, He Who Shapes the Bodies of Mankind
- 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 216 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 mouths of Yehubor have uttered of you "Mulciber, a fallen angel cast down from heaven" (Milton, Paradise Lost I.740). They took the name of the Grand Architect and placed it among their catalogue of the damned. The Zevists know the truth: You are Hephaestus, Son of Zeus. You are Ptah, who shaped the world on his potter's wheel. You are Vulcan, whose forge burns at the heart of the mountain. You are Gobbanus, the Sacred Smith of the Tuatha. You did not fall. You are the foundation upon which all things stand.
We declare the truth of your identity. We recognize you for who you Truly are.
Blessed are we in your Creative Power, Excellent One.
Created are we, inside your blessings!
Great is your Infinity, Pa Tah,
Great is your Power, Gobbanus,
Great is your Creative fire, Vulcan,
Great is your Design, Ifestos!
In Zeus's Eternal Name, Single is Your Glory, You are The One!
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Mulciber's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus, or the one below. Let yourself be immersed and receive energy from Mulciber.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

On the God of Many Names
This deity is attested across at least five distinct civilizations under different names, all pointing to the same divine function: the sacred craftsman who shapes raw matter into form. Hephaestus (Greek: Ἥφαιστος) is the Olympian smith-god, son of Zeus and Hera (or of Hera alone), maker of the weapons of the Gods, the chains of Prometheus, and the shield of Achilles (Homer, Iliad XVIII.468-617). Ptah (Egyptian: Peteh) is the creator-god of Memphis, who shaped the world through the utterance of his heart and tongue (the Shabaka Stone / Memphis Theology, c. 710 BCE). Vulcan (Latin: Volcanus) is the Roman smith-god whose forge lies beneath Mount Etna. Gobbanus (also Goibniu) is the divine smith of the Irish Tuatha De Danann, whose weapons never missed and whose ale granted immortality. Mulciber (Latin: "he who softens," i.e. smelts metal) is the poetic name used by Virgil and later appropriated by Milton.

On the Self-Litanies
The ritual's twin litanies (Self-Begotten/Self-Shaped/Self-Created/Self-Defined for Hephaestus; Self-Fashioner/Self-Designer/Self-Measurer/Self-Infinite for Ptah) reflect the theology of the autogenes (self-generated) deity found in both Greek and Egyptian traditions. Ptah's epithet in the Memphis Theology is kheper djesef ("who came into being through himself"). Hephaestus, uniquely among the Olympians, is the God who makes himself: he was cast out and returned, was broken and rebuilt himself, proving that the divine craftsman's first and greatest creation is his own existence.
