In the realm of spiritual practice, the use of anointing oils has been a time-honored tradition, cherished for its ability to deepen one's connection with the divine. Today, we're thrilled to introduce a brand-new collection of anointing oils that promise to elevate your daily spiritual rituals to new heights. Say hello to Resh vel Helios Magickal Daily Anointing Ritual Oils, a set of four exquisite oils tailored to enhance your morning, afternoon, evening, and midnight practices.
According to Thelemapedia, Liber Resh vel Helios, by Aleister Crowley, comprises four daily adorations to the Sun, to be performed at dawn, noon, sunset, and midnight. The general object is to focus the conscious mind on the center of our solar system.
Resh is a Hebrew letter. It equates to the English "R" and translates as "head." Within the Qabalah, Resh is on the 30th Path between Hod and Yesod. This Path is symbolized by the Sun and the various sun gods, such as Ra, Helios, and Apollo.
Liber Resh was written for members of Crowley's order, the A.'.A.'.. There are ten grades in this order, and each is assigned a sign, or bodily posture, generally used for meditation or ritual purpose. If a member of A.'.A.'. is performing Resh, he or she is to stand in the sign representing their current grade in all four stations. If the adorant is not in A.'.A.'., Crowley gives four signs to be used for each station:
- Dawn: all four L.V.X. Signs
- Noon: Sign of Fire
- Sunset: Sign of Air
- Midnight: Sign of Water
Morning Bliss: Resh
At the break of dawn, when the world awakens to a new day, our souls too yearn for rejuvenation and clarity. The Resh oil is crafted with a harmonious blend of essential oils that invigorate the senses and open the channels of positive energy. Begin your day by anointing your forehead, heart, and palms with Resh, and let its holy aroma inspire your intentions for the day ahead.
Let him greet the Sun at dawn, facing East, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:
Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising, even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Uprising of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Night!
Afternoon Revival: Vel
As the sun reaches its zenith, our energy levels often wane. The Vel oil is specifically designed to refresh and reenergize your spirit. A gentle anointing of your pulse points and third eye with Vel will bring newfound vitality and focus to your afternoon rituals. Breathe in deeply and feel your inner fire rekindle.
Also at Noon, let him greet the Sun, facing South, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:
Hail unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy triumphing, even unto Thee who art Ahathoor in Thy beauty, who travellest over the heavens in thy bark at the Mid-course of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Morning!
Evening Serenity: Helios
As evening approaches, it's time to transition from the hustle and bustle of the day into a state of tranquil reflection. Helios, named after the sun god, embodies the serene energy of twilight. Its soothing blend of oils promotes inner peace and balance. Apply Helios to your heart and the soles of your feet before your evening meditation, and experience the gentle embrace of calmness wash over you.
Also, at Sunset, let him greet the Sun, facing West, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice:
Hail unto Thee who art Tum in Thy setting, even unto Thee who art Tum in Thy joy, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Down-going of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Day!
Midnight Mystique: Noctis
The midnight hour holds its own mystical allure, and our Noctis oil is the key to unlocking its secrets. With Noctis, you can attune yourself to the quiet magic that pervades the night. Anoint your wrists, temples, and the back of your neck with this enchanting oil before your midnight rituals, and let it guide you through the realms of dreams and deep introspection.
Each of these anointing oils is lovingly handcrafted from the purest, ethically sourced ingredients. The Resh vel Helios collection is free from synthetic additives, ensuring that you connect with the purest essence of nature during your rituals. As you breathe in the holy aroma of these oils, you'll feel your spiritual connection deepen with every inhalation.
Lastly, at Midnight, let him greet the Sun, facing North, giving the sign of his grade, and let him say in a loud voice:
Hail unto thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening.
- And after each of these invocations thou shalt give the sign of silence, and afterward thou shalt perform the adoration that is taught thee by thy Superior. And then do thou compose Thyself to holy meditation.
