Last night was my first ritual relating to the Qliphoth. For this, my wife and I evoked Naamah for the purpose of introducing ourselves and welcoming in whatever lessons she deemed necessary for opening the first sphere of the Qliphoth.
For this ritual, instead of an inverted Pentagram, I drew out the symbol for earth to set the stage. I then placed four red candles around the the circle, a candle dedicated to her in the center with her offerings (a fancy doughnut, a multi berry shandy, and a small dish for blood), and my cauldron with a lit charcoal. We both had prepped ourselves by drawing her sigil on our bodies (as well as various other symbols) using make up and were naked for this ritual. We used both our desire for change as well as the lust we felt for each other to help fuel the ritual.
Clapping three times, we started by lighting each of the four candles outside of the ritual declaring âI open the gates of fire to connect the physical and spiritual worlds in this riteâ. Lighting the candle in the center, I stated âI open this door for Namaah only.â We threw some of the rose infused frankincense on the charcoal and declared: âI open the gate of smoke to provide form for the Invited.â We then drew blood, putting some on the incense and some in the bowl, saying âI open the gate of blood so that the Invited may have strength to manifest here.â
We then proceeded to recite Naamahâs enn but it started really messing with the flow so we fell back on just chanting her name. The shift in energy was very gradual, building in intensity like good love making. When her presence was overwhelming and the basic form of a shadow of a woman began to emerged in the smoke, I asked for confirmation that it was her. The sigil on her candle flashed and we began to her our neighborsâŠenjoying themselves quite loudly. I took that as pretty much confirmation lol
From there, we asked our own questions. Here, I will only be sharing mine.
Me: Welcome, Queen Naamah. My name is Tiberius, and I wanted to introduce myself properly to you. Would you be willing to work with us and teach us more about the Qliphoth?
Her: Hello, and of course, I would not be here if I wasnât. But we are not strangers.
Me: We are not?
Her: No. You used to call and invoke the âSpirit of Prophecyâ before each reading. I was the one who heard your call and showed you how to connect with people enough to read, although you did not know me. I miss that.
Me: I am sorry, I will have to get back to doing that. What will you be teaching us?
Her: For you, patience. You burn yourself out from your impulsiveness. While it is needed sometimes, you rely on it too much. Learn that, and the other lessons will make more sense.
Me: Okay, is the Qliphoth within or outside of us?
Her: -laughs- you should know the answer to that by now.
Me: Both?
Her: Yes.
Me: what do you want me to do in exchange for your lessons and aid to opening your sphere?
Her: Mediate on me daily, burning this candle. Use your mala and allow each chant to build the energy slowly, like the turning of the wheel. Many doors will begin to open if you pay attention, including the opening of my sphere.
Me: I will, Naamah. I have a final question for you. Would you like me to bind your sigil to my ring like I did with Lilith?
Her: When the sphere is opened, yes. Until then, focus on emerging. I am not something to be collected for mere bragging rights.
Me: I meant no disrespect.
Her: -laughs softly- I know, just giving you fair warning. But do bind my sigil to the candle to aid in your mediations.
Me: thank you naamah, and I will.
When my wife was done with her questions, we gave her our offerings, allowing her to share in the experience as we ate and drank. we closed each gate in reverse order, putting out the incense and candles with the exception of hers. We blew hers out with a soft thank you and clapped our hands again, signaling the end of the ritual.
