Editing Bornless Ritual (section)

==Structure==
The structure of the Bornless Ritual is composed of several key components that together form an impactful [[invocation]]. It begins with the declaration of the practitioner's intent and a series of preparatory invocations aimed at [[Ritual purification|purifying]] and [[Consecration|consecrating]] the [[Magic circle|ritual space]]. The core of the ritual involves the recitation of the central invocation, which addresses the Bornless One and enumerates divine attributes, invoking protection, guidance, and spiritual authority. This central invocation is a detailed [[litany]] that calls upon various [[divine names]] and attributes, establishing a connection with higher spiritual forces. The invocation includes references to ancient deities such as the [[Egyptian god]] [[Thoth]] and the [[Greek god]] [[Hermes]], symbolizing wisdom and communication.{{sfnp|Betz|1996}}

Following the central invocation, the ritual concludes with a series of closing statements, reaffirming the practitioner's connection to the divine and sealing the ritual space. Each segment is rich with symbolism, drawing on elements from various esoteric traditions to create a unified magical operation. The language used in the ritual is designed to resonate deeply with the practitioner's [[unconscious mind]], invoking a sense of [[awe]] and [[numinosity]]. This intricate structure ensures that the ritual is both a spiritual and psychological journey, guiding the practitioner through stages of purification, invocation, and empowerment. In [[Thelema]], these stages facilitate the [[Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel]], with the aim of establishing a profound connection with one's true [[Apotheosis|divine self]].{{sfnmp|1a1=DuQuette|1y=2003|2a1=Hanegraaff|2y=2013}}
