Seshat's Power Ritual
Seven-Horned Goddess, Queen of Scribes, Heavenly Lady of Knowledge, She Who Writes the Fates
Learn more…In Zeus's Name and Authority you are called,
Inside the Temple of Zeus,
The Assembly of the Gods.
Your reed pen first touched papyrus before the first word was spoken, for you are the one who records what the Gods decree.
Seven-Horned Goddess.
Seven are the Rivers of Knowledge,
Help us attain their flow within us.
Each horn upon your crown is a ray of understanding, and the seven together form the complete light of wisdom.
Many are your Names,
Known and Unknown,
Yet all your Names can be uttered to our Aid.
Thoth speaks and you record; He reveals and you preserve. Together you are the memory of the cosmos.
You are breaking all our shackles,
You have set us free,
O, Divine Seshat, Heavenly Lady of Knowledge.
The mouths of the Yehuborim erased your name from the temples and claimed that writing itself was their invention. But you held the pen before they held the lie, and what you have written cannot be unwritten.
And you have uttered of us:
"I shall change your memories from failure to success.
Your Path I shall change from imposition to freedom,
For I have written about your Fates in the Book of Life and Glory, O Blessed Children of the Gods."
And so it has occurred!
The Lady Goddess of the Temple of Zeus,
Blessed are We,
By the Queen of Scribes.
After you are done with this, you can meditate on Seshat's Sigil in the Temple of Zeus. Let yourself be immersed and receive energy from Seshat.
It's important to meditate on yourself after the Ritual calmly for a few minutes.

On Seshat
Seshat (Egyptian: Seshat, "She Who Scribes") is the Goddess of writing, measurement, architecture, astronomy, mathematics, and the recording of sacred knowledge. She is depicted wearing a seven-pointed star (or seven-petaled flower) above her head, surmounted by a pair of inverted horns. As consort of Thoth, she forms one half of the divine partnership of all knowledge: Thoth reveals, Seshat records; Thoth speaks, Seshat preserves. Her primary ritual function was the "Stretching of the Cord" (pedj shes), the sacred surveying ceremony that established the orientation and dimensions of temples. She recorded the regnal years of every Pharaoh upon the leaves of the Ished tree (the Sacred Persea), making her the keeper of royal and cosmic time.

On the Seven-Horned Crown
The ritual addresses Seshat as the "Seven-Horned Goddess" and identifies seven Rivers of Knowledge. The seven-pointed star upon Seshat's head has been interpreted as representing the seven classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), the seven liberal arts (grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, astronomy), or the seven energy centers of the subtle body. In Zevist theology, the seven correspond to the seven planetary spheres through which the soul ascends: each "horn" is a gateway, and Seshat holds the key to all seven.
