Sekhmet's Power Ritual
Lion Goddess, Eye of Ra, Enforcer of Justice, the Right Hand of the Gods, She Who Guides Aright
- 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 243 Vibrations, which is about 2 and a half 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].

On Sekhmet
Sekhmet (Egyptian: Sekhmet, "the Powerful One") is the lion-headed Goddess of war, fire, healing, and the protection of Ma'at. She is the Eye of Ra, the destructive solar force that Ra sends forth to punish those who transgress against divine order. In the myth of the Destruction of Mankind (Book of the Heavenly Cow), Ra sends Sekhmet to punish rebellious humanity, and she must be pacified with red-dyed beer to prevent the total annihilation of the human race. Her dual nature (destroyer and healer) is fundamental: her priests, the wabau of Sekhmet, were the most renowned physicians in Egypt, understanding that the power to destroy disease and the power to inflict it are the same power directed differently. Over 700 statues of Sekhmet were erected by Amenhotep III at the Temple of Mut at Karnak, one for each day of the year and each night, ensuring her protective presence at every hour.
