Six-Pointed Star Ritual

This is a Mesopotamian style hexagram ritual. It is using names of the sky gods from the Epic of Creation (Enuma Elish) and an excerpt of an incantation to Anu to create a version in the Mesopotamian modality. The design of the hexagrams are based on the six-spoked star on cylinder seal VA 243.

Face the East and using an authoritative voice say: An Antu Anšar Kišar Lamu Lahamu E-Ana

Make the sign of greeting, then the sign of respect, and then the sign of devotion.

Face the South, draw a star in the air in front of you, and using an authoritative voice say

Lahamu

Face the West, draw a star in the air in front of you, and using an authoritative voice say

Lahmu

Face the North, draw a star in the air in front of you, and using an authoritative voice say

Kišar

Face the East, draw a star in the air in front of you, and using an authoritative voice say

Anšar

Make the sign of respect once more and using an authoritative voice say:

O An, god of heaven, lord of the sign, lord of the crown, Let me proclaim the praises of my lord. Let me constantly and continually exalt the greatness of your great divinity. It is the wording of a lifted-hand to An.
