My Preferred Version of the Headless Rite

Yes - yet another person decided to take the Betz version of the PGM and try to retool it to flow off the tongue a bit better for modern speakers. Here is mine:

Tools: Make a headband. The Stele of Jeu says to use clean papyrus, but paper and cloth could be substitutes. A gold crown might be a neat innovation if anyone has the resources to try it.

The headband should have written on it, from your right temple to your left (written from left to write if flat on a table):

AOTh ABRAOTh BASYM ISAK SABAOTh IAO

I would suggest using Greek characters. Note the "Th" is the letter "Theta." Below it should be a symbol that you can get from the PGM translation.



Everything in CAPS should be intoned or vibrated.

The Rite:

(Optional) Do the opening ceremony of your choice. Light some incense (solar incenses like frankincense, Abramelin blend, etc are best, due to the various implicit and explicit references to Ra, Osiris, and Bes in the ritual).

(Put on the headband and face north, saying:)

AOTH ABRAOTH BASYM ISAK SABAOTH IAO

(Optional - Visualize the letters on your headband lighting up as you intone the names)

(*) Hear me and subject all spirits unto me, so that every spirit of the firmament and of the ether, upon the earth and under the earth, on dry land and in the water, of whirling air and rushing fire, and every spell and scourge of God shall be obedient unto me. (*)

I summon you, the Headless One,
You who created the earth and the heavens,
You who created the night and the day,
You who created the light and the darkness,
You are Osoronnophris whom no man has ever seen,
You are Iabas, you are Iapos,
You have distinguished the just and the unjust,
You have made the female and the male,
You have revealed the seed and the fruits,
You have made men to love each other and hate each other,

I am Moses your prophet to whom you have transmitted your mysteries celebrated by Israel,
You have revealed the moist and the dry and all nourishment,
Hear me!

I am the messenger of Pharaoh Osoronnophris,
This is your true name which has been transmitted to the prophets of Israel.

Hear me,

ARBATHIAO REIBET ATHELEBERSETH ARA BLATHA ALBEU EPENPHCHI CHITASGOE IBAOTH IAO

Hear me and turn away this spirit! (Or repeat *)

I call upon you, awesome and invisible God, with an empty spirit,

AROGOGOROBRAO SOCHOU MODORIO PHALARCHAO OOO

Holy Headless One,
Deliver him/her (Name) from the spirit which restrains him/her! (Or repeat *)

ROUBRIAO MARI ODAM BAABNA-BAOTH ASS ADONAI APHNIAO ITHOLETH ABRASAX AEOOY
(Note: Pronounce “ASS” as “Aaahs” - don’t be a 5 year old :-P)

Mighty Headless One,
Deliver him/her (Name) from the spirit which restrains him/her! (Or repeat *)

MABARRAIO IOEL KOTHA ATHOREBALO ABRAOTH

Deliver him/her (Name) (or repeat *)

AOTH ABRAOTH BASYM ISAK SABAOTH IAO
(Optional - Again visualize the letters on the headband lighting up)

He is the lord of the gods,
He is the lord of the inhabited world,
He is the one whom the winds fear,
He is the one who made all things by the command of his voice!

Lord, King, Master, Helper
Save his/her soul (or “Save my soul”)

IEOU PYR IOU PYR IAOT IAEO IOOU ABRASAX SABRIAM OO YY EY OO YY ADONAIE

Immediately, immediately, good messenger of God!

ANLALA LAI GAIA APA DIACHANNA CHORYN

(Pause for a moment and feel the presence of the Divine Mind wash over you, then say:)

I am the Headless Spirit with sight in my feet!
I am the mighty one who possesses the immortal fire!
I am the truth who hates the fact that unjust deeds are done in the world!
I am the one who makes the lightning flash and the thunder roll!
I am the one who’s sweat is the heavy rain which falls upon the earth  so that it might be inseminated!
I am the one who’s mouth is utterly aflame!
I am the destroyer and the begetter!
I am the Favor of the Aion!
My name is a heart encircled by a serpent!
Come forth and follow me!

(END RITUAL)

A personal note: I am of the opinion that this should not be used alone as a stand-alone invocation of one’s Holy Guardian Angel (HGA). However, I believe it makes an excellent opening for an HGA invocation personally written by the operant.
