Liber Obscuris Dies Veneris: A Ritual For Black Friday Employees

Retail workers on black Friday go through pure torture. I’ve been there, it’s not fun.

Here’s a ritual I constructed to help make your day a little better. It mixes a little bit of Thelema pantheon with traditional Golden Dawn tradition. The suggested tools are good if you have that stuff lying around. If not, you can always prepare for next year!

Liber Obscuris Dies Veneris 

Suggested Tools: Black robe. Altar Lower Right: rose, cannabis indica, or a copper plate. Altar Upper Left: lighter, sword, or piece of gold. Altar Lower Left: a water cup, or a mercury thermometer. Altar Upper Right: A stuffed unicorn or something purple. Also a water cup is acceptable here as well. Altar Middle: White Candle. An app that tells you where each planet is in the sky. GoSkyWatch on iOS is good.

The Ritual:

Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram

Say: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”

Analysis of the Keyword:

Stand straight. Facing West. Put your right hand over your body and your left hand at your side. Say:

Comment:

I’ve left some of the tools open ended. If you choose a lighter, be sure to ignite the flame during the part where you use it. If you are using marijuana, you may smoke it. I don’t want to assume everyone knows the LVX signs and the hexagrams by heart yet, so I’ve re-uploaded these from Thelemapedia for your use below.
