fingers, and finally through the dagger. Visualize this energy<br />
as a bright blue ray of light coming from the ritual dagger<br />
and touching the ground. Visualize the ground being branded<br />
by the blue energy, the tiny spot that it touches being singed<br />
by its heat. With your arm still outstretched, dagger still<br />
pointed at the ground, rotate your body on an invisible axis<br />
beneath you, turning clockwise. Visualize the blue beam of<br />
light moving with your arm, leaving its trace on the ground<br />
as a blue circle surrounding yourself and the altar.<br />
3. When you have arrived back to the south and the Circle is<br />
complete, visualize the ray of light shutting off and lower your<br />
arm to your side. Sit behind the altar, place your hands upon<br />
it, and close your eyes. See the Circle in your mind<br />
surrounding you. Feel its power of protection emanating from<br />
the blue line of energy.<br />

Temple in the midst of the ritual itself. While the lines may<br />
not be perfect and the angles may not match up, the act of<br />
drawing the sigil itself begins to invoke the power for which it<br />
stands. This done, gaze at the lines of the pentagram and try<br />
to sense the energy coursing through them.<br />
6. Holding your right hand a few inches above the drawn symbol,<br />
feel a dark energy gathering in your forehead, between your<br />
eyes. Feel the same dark energy gathering in your right hand.<br />
Try to see this in your mind as a black light emanating from<br />
your hand and from your Third Eye. Allow both points of<br />
energy to grow spontaneously, the vibrational rates nearing<br />
critical mass as you focus on them. Once the points of energy<br />
