The Ouranos Rite

Introduction

The seven classical planetary bodies can be used to represent the spectrum of psychology,
according to the principle implicit in pagan thought that a cosmology must embody a
psychology. Ouranos/Uranus, the eighth body, orbits outside the sphere of the classical
planets and the god forms or thought form attributed to them. Thus it forms an ideal
symbol for that which encompasses all the gods within its orbit: the magical personality.
It represents not the power of the magic itself, which is attributed to Pluto; but rather the
desire to be a magician, and the personality required to live as one. Astronomically, this
equates with the curious orbit of Ouranos which, with its polar axis tilted at an eccentric
angle, almost on the plane of the ecliptic, symbolizes the antinomian character of the
magician, ever delving into that which is weird, occult and perverse, to unlock its secrets.
Ouranos can also be thought of as the dark side of the Sun. Whereas the classical bodies
orbit the sun, the bright center of the human personality; Ouranos represents something
more dark, and perhaps devious, creeping round in the darkness outside of the normal.

The magician emblem of Ouranos is the serpent; and the god form may be invoked or
visualized, bearing a serpent- shaped wand crowned with an Uraeus-style serpent in
Egyptian style, and garbed in raiment bearing the serpent motif.
Ouranos has a characteristic color, which is idiosyncratic to the person invoking it, called
Octarine; meaning the eighth color of the spectrum, which is the color of magic and may
be any color that represents magic to the individual. For most magicians, Octarine is
simply the color in which visualizations occur, if they are not deliberately made into any
particular color. The background Ouranian color is dark green. Invoke for Knowledge
and Manipulation of things magical--that is, for works of pure rather than applied magic--
and for the discovery of magical knowledge and techniques and magical selfdevelopment,
rather than to create direct effects. Ouranos may be invoked for the creation
or discovery of magical languages, symbols and theories, and also for works of
psychiatry.
THE OURANOS RITE

(The basic Ouranos Rite may be adapted for many purposes. It is presented here with an
appended Ouranian Servitor Evocation.)
1. Banishing ritual if required.
2. Draw eight pointed star above the place of working and visualize strongly.
3. Statement of Intent, aloud:
"It is our will to invoke Ouranos," etc.
4. Eight loud sounds.
5. The Prologue is recited.
6. Invocation 1 is read aloud.
7. The sign of Ouranos is made upon oneself by drawing and visualization.
8. Invocation 2 is shouted aloud as many times as desired. Sensory overload is
sought, using any or all of the following:
o Participants gaze at the Ouranos sigil drawn on or held in the left hand,
whilst whirling on the spot widdershins with increasing speed.
o Hyperventilation at will.
o Weird, discordant, eldritch noise/sound effects/music may be played.
o Stroboscopes set to epileptiform frequencies around 6.66 Hz are triggered.
o Participants visualize themselves in the Ouranos god form and chant the
name "Ouranos".
o Octarine light may be visualized onto the Ouranos sigil and emanating
from the participants.

Whirling ceases and the evocation may be used if desired. The Ouranian sigil may
serve as a material basis for the evocation, or a more specialized pre- prepared object may
be used.
Laughter Banishing, followed if required by a banishing ritual.
