Adoring the Sun

August 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Salutation and praise unto thee,
O life-enkindling Sun, child of Creation’s Lord!
O thou lone all-seeing Eye of the vault celestial!
Extend thy light that I may see,
but dim thy glory that I be not blinded.

Unmask thy countenance, O God of Light:
For I am a lover of Truth
and I would behold the spiritual essence
concealed by thy golden disk!

So reveal unto my perception
Thy shining and inmost nature,
Even that high spirit which infuses thee
and is one with the primal flame of mine own being.

O life-enkindling Sun, child of Creation’s Lord:
Salutation and praise unto thee!

That’s the text of the Solar Adoration recommended to neophytes in the Aurum Solis Order. The instructions are to practice the adoration at dawn and dusk. This brings the student into alignment with the daily rhythm and orients the attention to the solar energy.

It’s a simple, but delightful practice. Try it!
