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 self-development, 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.

8. Invocation 2 is shouted aloud as many times as desired. Sensory overload is sought, using any or all of the
following:
Participants gaze at the Ouranos sigil drawn on or held in the left hand, whilst whirling on the spot
widdershins with increasing speed.
Hyperventilation at will.
Weird, discordant, eldritch noise/sound effects/music may be played.
Stroboscopes set to epileptiform frequencies around 6.66 Hz are triggered.
Participants visualize themselves in the Ouranos god form and chant the name "Ouranos".
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.
