CELEBRATION OF THE GNOSTIC

LITURGY

Christ).
- In the upper left quadrant: The Byzantine Cross ✝

.
- In the lower left quadrant: The letter Alpha α.
- In the upper right quadrant: The Greek Cross ✚ (or

the Saints are placed. The Chalice (with wine) and
the Paten (with bread) are placed in the centre of the
ANTIMINS (on the Chrismon).
Behind the Antimins, a Crucifix is placed flanked by
two white candles. In front of the Crucifix, a small
lamp with olive oil burns.

your goodness, the fruit of the earth and the work of
men, which we present you now.
Immediately after, the Priest places the paten in the
Altar, takes the chalice (with the right hand) and

For this, with all the blessed Angels and Saints we
proclaim Your Glory, saying with a single voice:
HAGIOS! HAGIOS! HAGIOS!
IESUS PANTOKRATOR!

Hosanna at heights!
The Priest spreads his hands over the offerings and
says:
Father of Mercy, accept and sanctify these offerings,
pouring out your Spirit over them, so that they change
17
for us.
(He draws three crosses ✠✠✠over the offerings)
In Body
(He draws ✠over the bread)
And Blood
(He draws ✠over the chalice)

of the Divine Mystery!
The Priest turns East, opens his arms, and says:
And when Jesus, our Rabbi, was gathered in the
Cenacle...

bread.

Then, he turns East again and places the bread back
in the Altar, and kneels down to worship it.

Altar and says:
Similarly, once the Supper was finished, he took the
Chalice in his hands, thanked again and gave it to his
disciples, saying:
Take and drink from it, you all. This is the Chalice of
my Blood, the Blood of the New and Eternal
Alliance, which will be spilt by you and by all the

RITUAL
The Deacon opens the door of the Temple and places

on the left side with the hands crossed on his chest,
the right over the left.
The participants enter one by one in silence, and each
one of them goes to the Deacon with their arms
crossed and says:
(Bowing forwards):
PER CRUCEM,
(Standing up):
AD ROSAM.
The Deacon answers:
(Bowing forwards):
AD ROSAM,
(Standing up):
PER CRUCEM.
When they have all taken their seats, the Deacon
purifies the Temple.
INCENSED OF THE ALTAR OF PERFUMES

It is placed at the left side of the Altar. The Deacon
takes the Censer (with the coal already lit) and the
22
vessel of the incense and shows it to the Celebrant
who takes the incense and, in three stages, puts it
over the coal.
The Deacon lets the first smoke raise upon the hands
of the Celebrant, and then he continues with the
purification.
PURIFICATION
The Deacon invests the Celebrant with the smoke of
the incense, rhythmically, 6 times:
2)1+1 1)1+1 3)1+1
Left Centre Right
Then he goes to the Altar and, remaining behind it,
purifies the participants with three investments:
2) Left 1) Centre 3) Right
The Celebrant completes his preparation by lighting
the Trigone:
(1)
(2) (3)
The Deacon places the censer on the Altar of
Perfumes and goes to the Altar to light the seven
candles that are lit in this order:
6421357
23
While the Deacon is lighting the candles, the
Celebrant says:
1. Be our Kingdom.
2. Be our Fundament.
3. Be our Glory.
4. Be our Victory.
5. Be our Strength.
6. Be our Grace.
7. Be our Crown.
Celebrant
Facing the ASSEMBLY, he says:
May Krestós be with you.
Assembly
And with your Spirit.
Celebrant
I reach the Altar of the High One, who forms the
Mind and produces the splendour of an eternal youth.
The Deacon, having the coal lit inside the censer,
takes it to the Celebrant together with the vessel of
the incense, and this one places the incense in three
stages, saying:
To the Glory of the Eternal Though.
To the Glory of the Eternal Will
24
To the Glory of the Eternal Action.
The Deacon closes the censer and gives it to the
Celebrant.
The Celebrant initially censes the R☩C, then the three
flames of the Holy Trigone. He walks around the
Altar, from right to left; then he marks with the censer
according to the following scheme:
Forehead 2 5
Shoulders
Chest
Heart 3 3 4
Belly button 1 6
Next, he makes three circles, wider each time (with

the censer, around the Chalice).
He gives back the censer to the Deacon, who puts it
in its place.
The Celebrant, with his right hand open, draws upon
himself a cross, from the head to the belly button, and
from the left shoulder to the right one. Then, he
describes a circle, always with the right hand open,
from the head to the left shoulder, to the belly button,
to the right shoulder and to the head again. Finally,
he joins his hands in prayer.

AT THE BEGINNING, THE WORD EXISTED AND THE

hands saying:
LAVABO INTER INOCENTES MANUS MEAS ET
CIRCUNDABO ALTARE TUUM PATER.
I WASH MY HANDS BETWEEN THE INNOCENTS AND I ENCIRCLE

FATHER.

SO, HE WHO EATS FROM THIS BREAD WILL LIVE, THANKS TO ME,
FOR ALL ETERNITY.
PATRES NOSTRI MANDUCAVERUNT MANNA IN

EVERYBODY SINCE,
Placing the hands on the bread:

HOC EST CORPUS MEUM,
THIS IS MY BODY,
QUOD PRO VOBIS DATUR.

WHICH IS GIVEN TO YOU.
The Priest raises the host and says the secret prayer:
CONDESCEND LORD, JUST GOD AND CLEMENT
CONSECRATING THIS BREAD. BLESSED AND
SACRED MYSTERIES THAT JOIN US!
He makes a genuflection. A pause of meditation.
AMEM DICO VOBIS QUIA JAM NON LIBIANDE HOC

AMEN, I TELL YOU, SINCE HE WILL NOT DRINK FROM THIS ONE,
THE ONE OF THE DOUBLE LIFE

SO THAT HE DOES NOT DRINK AGAIN IN THE DAY OF THE
KINGDOM OF GOD.

He places his hands on the Chalice:

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI,
THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,
QUI PRO MULTIS EFFUDETUR.

WHICH IS SPILT BY EVERYONE.
The Priest raises the Chalice with wine and says:

CONDESCEND LORD, JUST GOD AND CLEMENT
CONSECRATING THIS WINE. BLESSED AND
SACRED MYSTERIES THAT JOIN US!
He makes a genuflection. A pause of meditation.
The Priest places back the bread and the wine (and
gives communion if there were someone else).
OS MEUM APERUI ET ACTRAXI SPIRITUM,

A brief meditation.

He opens the arms as if it were a communion hug
with all the members of the Church.
EDUCITE VOS MET IPSOS.
So lead yourselves.
METRATON - MICHAEL - GABRIEL -RAPHAEL,
CUSTODES ET DISPENSATORES,
GUARDS AND DISPENSERS,

He closes the rite by drawing a Tau in the middle of
the eyes and the sign of Solomon on the Altar in order
to imply the accomplished action.
GNOSTIC BAPTISM RITUAL

According to the ancient manuscripts of the 7th
century, by expressing the solemn observance of this
true initiation called Baptism, the ritual demands the
presence of at least two exorcists, one at each side of
the Father. Each of them will pronounce the three
formulas of exorcism, by which evil is withdrawn
37
from the body of the catechumen, who regains his
Creator. There must be a crystal glass full of water, a
small dish with mineral salt and a candelabrum with
a black candle.
The catechumen is placed in the North.
The Father together with the two exorcists, each one
at each side of the Father, remain standing in front of
him.
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], What do you ask to the
Church of God?
Supplicant
Faith.
Celebrant
What does Faith provide?
Supplicant
Eternal Life.
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], if you wish eternal life,
keep always to the commandments: “You will love
the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul and with your spirit, and you will similarly love
your fellow as you love yourself”, because all the
Ancient Law and the Prophets are included in these
two commandments. Faith consists on worshiping
God, the Only Lord, in His triple aspect: the Trinity in
38
the Unity, without mistaking these features and
appearances, without mistaking what was properly
taken to denominate the Divine Person without the
separation of the substance. Because the Father, the
Son and the Holy Spirit, although are manifested in
three persons, have a sole and same substance and
constitute a sole Divinity.
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], Do you renounce to
Satan?
Supplicant
I do.
Celebrant
Do you renounce to all your works here?
Supplicant
I do.
Celebrant
Being that the case, stay firm and blow upon him, so
that by your own blow this symbol may be
extinguished.
The Father points out the black candle and the
Catechumen blows over the candle and extinguishes
it.
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], do you believe in God,
the Almighty Father, the Creator of the Heaven and
the Earth?
39
Supplicant
I do.
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], do you believe in Jesus
Christ, our Lord, born from the Virgin Mary, and that
He suffered and died for the liberation of our souls?
Supplicant
I do.
Celebrant
The Father blows three times upon the face of the
Catechumen, saying only once:
May the impure spirit get away from you and may
free this dwelling for the Holy Spirit!
The Father blows once again, in the shape of a cross,
upon the face of the Catechumen and says:
He receives, through this blow, the Holy Spirit ✠and

the blessing of God. May the Peace be with you and
with your spirit!
Then, the Father draws the Tau on the forehead and
the chest of the Catechumen, while he says:
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], receive the symbol of
eternity upon your forehead τ and upon your heart τ.
Embrace the Faith in the “Eternal Principles” and,
due to your conduct, may you take the inner Temple
40
of God; and by having entered the Eternal Church,
may you be able to experience the joy of having
escaped from the ambushes of death. Honour God
Almighty and His Only Son, our Lord, who will come
at the end of the time to judge the living and the dead
ones, and to purify the world with fire. Amen!
I beg you, Holy Lord, Almighty Father, that you
direct your Angels to show your servant, who
wanders in uncertainty and doubt, the path of the
Truth, so that, by opening the eyes of the heart, he
may recognize your Almighty Power, You, the Only
God, the Father within the Son as well as the Son
within the Father with the Holy Spirit; and that he
may deserve and receive, now and in the eternal life,
the fruit of confession. For Christ, Our Lord, Amen!
The Father puts his right hand on the head of the
Catechumen and pronounces the first exorcism:
Celebrant
I order you, spirit of evil, in the name of the Eternal
Father and of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you submit
yourself to His sentence and leave this servant of
God, born on this day and at this hour for the eternal
life. God calls him now; may our Lord Jesus Christ
condescend to call you for His Holy Grace. And also,
abominable demon, may you never dare to profane
this holy sign of the cross ✠
(He draws the sign of the cross on his forehead with
the thumb of the right hand without taking the hand
out of his head))
41
That we draw on the forehead of this catechumen.
Therefore, I exorcise you, power of the darkness, so
that you can leave him and end far away from this
servant of God, born on this day and at this hour for
the Eternal Life, for Christ, Our Lord, Amen!
The First Exorcist takes the text and makes the same
exorcism.
The Second Exorcist does the same.
Celebrant
The Father draws a cross on the forehead of the
catechumen, while he says:
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], I draw this sign ✠ on

your forehead so, from now on, you hear the inner
voice and with it the commandments of God.
Celebrant
The Father draws a cross on the ears of the

your ears so that you never hear any longer the
illusory calls of the world and of its lords.
Celebrant
The Father draws a cross on the eyes of the

your eyes so that you never see any longer the
42
illusory temptations of the world, and may you be
able to see the shine of God one day.
Celebrant
The Father draws a cross on the nostrils of the

your nostrils so you never breathe any longer the
charming perfumes of the world, and therefore, so
that you finally receive the good smell of Christ.
The Father draws a cross on the mouth of the
Celebrant
your mouth so that, from now on, you never
pronounce any longer the words of death and,
therefore, so that you may be a docile servant of the
word of the life.
The Father draws a cross on the heart of the
Celebrant
your heart so that you believe and, therefore, you live
throughout eternity.
Celebrant
43
The Father draws a cross on the shoulders of the
Celebrant
your shoulders so that you can receive, in the name of
the Lord, the missions of His Service.
Celebrant
The Father draws three crosses across the body of the
catechumen:
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], I draw this sign all over
your body in the name of the Father✠, the Son ✠and
the Holy Spirit✠, so that you can possess the Eternal
Life and therefore live eternally.
Celebrant
The Father blesses the Baptismal water.
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], do you wish to be
baptised according to the words of the Lord and of the
Apostles?
Supplicant
Yes, I do.
The Catechumen kneels down and the godparents
place next to him, the godmother at his right and the
godfather at his left. The Father sprinkles water in the
shape of a cross three times over his head.
44
INITIATIC FORMULA
Celebrant
[NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT], I baptise you, in the
name of the Father ✠
(he sprinkles the water),
Of the Son ✠
And of the Holy Spirit ✠
The Father draws the sign of the cross ✠ with the
Holy Chrism upon the head of the elected, while he
says:
May God, Almighty, the Father of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, who Regenerated you by the water and by the
Holy Spirit, grant you the remission of all your
previous sins.
(The Father gives the anointment at this moment),
And may he anoint you with the chrism of the
salvation, in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
May the Peace be with you and with your Spirit.
Let’s pray,
(Facing the Altar — East):
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, who
freed the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,
45
sending your Angel to them to protect them night and
day; we pray to you, Lord, so that you condescend to
send one of your Angels to protect, lead and guide
your servant [NAME OF THE SUPPLICANT] here present,
through the ambushes of this world of darkness,
during the Eternal Life. Amen!
The Father puts a grain of salt on the tongue of the
elected and says:
Brother, receive the salt of wisdom, so that it may be
propitious for the Eternal Life, and according to the
words of the Saviour, so that it may be the salt of the
earth between the men of darkness.
Reading of the Book of the Apocalypses, Chapter III,
10-12:
Celebrant
So says the Saint, the True One, He who has the key
of David, which opens what nobody ever closes, and
which closes what nobody ever opens:
“Since you kept to my word of perseverance, I will
also keep it to you at the time of the temptation that
will come upon the whole world, to test the
inhabitants of the earth. I will come soon, assure with
firmness what you have, so that nobody takes your
crown. With regards to the winner, I will make of him
a column in the Temple of my God, and he will never
go out of there. I will write upon him the name of my
God and the name of the City of my God – the new
Jerusalem – and my new name”.
46
The Father announces a hymn and after the two first
verses are sung, an assistant will register the new
member.
The Father says some proper words.
They all take the clothes and leave.
BAPTISM OF FIRE AND AIR

CONSOLAMENTUM
The Consolamentum has a Cathar origin and it is

called “Baptism of Fire and Air”, “Melioramentum”
or “Rite of the Re-Awakening”. This ritual has been
collected from the Cathar Sacramentarium, being
deliberately re-elaborated and integrated together
with other ancient texts.
For the Gnostic Ecclesia Traditionalis it represents
the real Gnostic Baptism, not a material one, but
essentially spiritual, and it marks the ritual entry in
the Gnostic Community.
PREPARATION OF THE ALTAR

The Altar is prepared as for the gnostic-cathar mass,
but without the candelabrum of seven arms.
The candle of the Past Masters will be placed at the
right of the Altar.
47
A vessel with water will be prepared for the cleaning
of the hands of the consoled and a little towel to dry
them off.
PREPARATION OF THE CANDIDATE

The neophyte should be in a personal state of ritual
purity, and in civil dark clothes, out of the Temple. In
the altar it will be placed the consecrated white cord
and tunic.
RITUAL OF THE CONSOLAMENTUM

Deacon
He enters the Temple by surrounding the Altar
clockwise, stops in front of it and bows before the
symbol of the R☩C.
He lights the candles of the Trigone:
1º
2º 3º
Then, he stays at the right of the Altar.
At the entrance of the Bishop, the Assembly stands up
and recites the Valentinian prayer.
BEATI VOS AEONES
VERA VITA. VIVIDI
48
VOS EMANATIONES
PLEROMATIS LUCIDIS
ADESTE VISIONES
STOLIS ALBIS CANDIDIS
BLESSED YOU,
TIMES OF THE TRUE LIFE.
MAY YOUR EMANATIONS OF BRIGHT PLENITUDE
BE INTENSE
GO, VISIONS
WITH RADIANT WHITE TUNICS.
Deacon
He goes to the right of the Bishop.
Bishop and Deacon
Vocalizing: (with a high and deep sound, weak at the
beginning and then strong and very loud in the end)
IAO (softly)
IAO (louder)
IAO (louder)
Then, the Bishop goes and sits at the right of the Altar
and it is at this moment when the candidate is
accompanied by the Deacon, who introduces him in
the Temple, making him follow the path from left to
right (directed by the Deacon), while he holds a
candle in the right hand (an extinguished candle),
resting his other hand on the chest.
49
After the walk through the Temple, the Candidate
(consoled, being consoled, since he is receiving the
Consolamentum) is led in front of the Bishop,
kneeling at his feet.
Bishop
Who are you?
50
Candidate
An exile in a foreign land who is willing to go back to
his homeland, the Saint Pleroma. After the fall of my
mother, Sophia Achamoth, I was born in the red river
of the animal kingdom. Since then, my earthly
experiences and my nostalgic memories started.
Bishop
And now, where do you come from?
Candidate
From the north, the place where darkness is greater,
and I am going East, in search of light.
Bishop
And what are you looking for among us?
Candidate
That knowledge that the profane world ignores but
that can give me the light that, illuminated, saves.
Bishop
What are you expecting from us?
Candidate
I expect the baptism for my third birth. In the red
animal river, I only received wishes and appetites.
The second birth, in the cavern of my heart, was
produced in me, waking up ancestral and forgotten
memories, only a desire: to reborn in spirit and in
truth to be freed from this world of darkness and then
51
be able to free my sleeping brethren from the infernal
circle of the Heimarmenen.
Bishop
Do you carry with you, together with this desire, the
word of order?
Candidate
Perfect love and purity of feeling!
Bishop
The word is correct; but, who answers for you?
Godfather
He places at the right of the Candidate and says:
I assure his seriousness and the sincerity of his
purposes.
Bishop
Be ready for your melioramentum; but first, purify
your hands.
The Deacon
After withdrawing for a moment the extinguished
candle that the Candidate is holding in his right hand,
he pours on his hands some water and then dries
them with a little towel. He gives him the extinguished
candle back again.
52
Bishop
Do you believe in the Saint Gnosis?
Candidate
I believe in salvation through knowledge.
Bishop
Do you renounce to the demiurgic works and to the
links with the archons?
Candidate
I do!
Bishop
PARCITE NOBIS.
The Bishop places his hands on his shoulders and
says:
REMITTUNTUR TIBI PECCATA TUA, QUAESUNT
PECCATA MUNDI.
AMEN.
MAY ALL YOUR SINS BE FORGIVEN, WHICH ARE THE SINS OF THE
WORLD.
AMEN.
The saint aeons make you free, as I free you, from the
links of the archon.
May Elena−Ennola, Sophia Redenta, help you and be
always with you to enlighten you with her light.
53
MENOR ESTO VERBI TUI (TUAE) SERVO (SERVAE), IN
QUI MIHI SPEM DEDISTI. HAEC ME CONSOLATA EST
IN HUMILITATE MEA.
AMEN.
MAY I REMAIN AS THE SERVANT OF YOUR WORD, WITH WHICH
YOU GAVE ME HOPE, WHICH CONSOLES ME IN MY
INSIGNIFICANCE. AMEN.
Bishop
Now, make public the testimony of your faith.
Deacon
He handles the Gnostic Creed to the Candidate and
asks him to read it.
Candidate
He reads the Gnostic Creed:
GNOSTIC CREED
I believe in the unity of all in the Propator, the
principle of each existence, impersonal, ineffable,
revealed lord, who exists by his own, himself, the
supreme power, wisdom, essential love of somebody
never seen before, whose issuing power is manifested
in the perennial rhythm of creation.
I believe in the saviour, Logos Pantokrator, God from
the beginning, Reconciler from eternity, who came
down from the essence to the substance, for our
reintegration.
54
I believe in the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, the
infallible power, which enlightens, vivifies and
sanctifies the souls of wise men.
I believe in Mary, Myriam, Isis, the one with all the
names, whose connection and birth are revealed in the
fertility of nature. I believe in the mystery of the
Demiurge. I believe in the invisible Church,
triumphant, (guarded) by pure souls, in the Saint
Hierarchy witnessed by the Rosecross, manifested in
the Church of the Saint Gnosis. I believe and assert
that our law is the salvation, achieved through the
knowledge fed by faith. I believe in the communion
of pure souls, as I believe in the transformation of
bread and wine in a spiritual substance. I believe in
the baptism of fire that, from something physical,
turns out in something pneumatic. I do believe, know
and recognize the essence of my life as an endless
whole that, fallen from the Pleroma, goes back to it.
Amen.
Deacon
With a wick, he goes and searches the light of the
Candle of the Past Masters, and lights the candle that
is in the right hand of the Candidate.
Bishop
Amen.
To the Candidate:
Do you swear to lead your life according to your faith
and to strive, through a progressive knowledge, in
55
meditation and in a severe discipline, improving
yourself, searching to improve humanity within and
outside you, making it free from the false authorities,
from blind superstitions, from vices and from
selfishness?
Candidate
I swear it.
Bishop
Do you swear to use your intelligence, and any other
faculty of yours, to spread around the world the ideal
of fraternity between all men, without any
discrimination?
Candidate
I swear it.
Bishop
Will you endeavour in fully cooperating with respect,
devotion, loyalty and discipline, for the action of the
gnostic community with your visible superior
(Bishop), and to eventually withdrawn in the event of
not sharing this opinion and purpose anymore?
Candidate
I endeavour for my honour.
Bishop
To confirm this, now read this letter and sign it on the
altar of God and before the presence of the
community.
56
Candidate
He reads the oath that the Deacon gives him:
OATH
“I [NAME], DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO KEEP TO THE
COMPROMISES PRESENTED BEFORE ME AND BEFORE
THE COMMUNITY AND TO NOT REVEAL THE POSSIBLE
ESOTERIC TEACHINGS THAT I MAY RECEIVE. IF I
FAIL THIS OATH, MAY THE POWERS I AM RECEIVING
NOW GET AWAY FROM ME”.
He signs it.
Deacon
He takes the letter of Oath and handles it to the
Bishop.
Bishop
He burns the oath in the censer.
Deacon
He says, while the oath is burning:
What is intended for the fire, remains for all eternity.
Bishop
He goes to the Candidate, takes the Gospel and
places it on his head.
57
All the members of the Assembly
They form a semicircle in front of the Altar, around
the Candidate, taking their hands to his head.
Bishop
He takes off the Gospel from the head of the
Candidate and places it again on the Altar.
They take down their hands and go back to their
places, standing.
Bishop
Always towards the Altar, with the hands upwards in
the shape of a cup:
Listen to me Father, my Father, the Father of each
paternity, the Unlimited Light that is in the treasure of
light!
Assembly:
Come your light.
Bishop
Come the seven virgins of light, who are in the
baptism of fire and air that gives the true light! Come
the Shadai Tsabaoth, with his armies, Adam with all
his ministers, to take out your favourite son from the
slavery of the archons.
Assembly
Amen, Amen, Amen.
58
Bishop
May Agatodaimon, Abraxas and Knoubis, allow
baptising him, your disciple, with the water of life
from the seven virgins of light, where he will be
introduced between the heirs of the kingdom! If my
voice is joined to you, Father, accomplish the miracle
and may Zorokathara come to bring the water of the
baptism of life in me, and in one of these jugs of
wine; come Melchizedek, King and priest of Salem,
to bring the stealth of fire in the unique vine.
Now the Bishop turns to the Candidate and
pronounces in a low voice (murmuring) the mantra
that the ancient Naasseni used in their sacred magic:
KAW LA KAW
The superior man = Or Himself
SAW HA SAW
The inferior man = The Ego
ZE ESAR
The Mediator = Or The Saviour
Assembly
The members of the Assembly sit down.
Bishop
He takes some wine from each jug, pouring it on the
palm of the left hand, and then on the head of the
Candidate saying:
59
I [NAME], BAPTISE YOU [NAME], IN THE NAME OF
THE UNKNOWN FATHER OF ALL THE UNIVERSALS, IN
THE TRUTH, THE MOTHER OF ALL, IN THE NAME OF
OSIRIS, ISIS, HORUS, AND IN THE ONE OF KRESTOS
SOTER WHO EMBODIED HIMSELF IN THE HUMAN
MATTER FOR THE UNION, THE REDEMPTION AND THE
COMMUNION OF THE PERFECT ONES.
Candidate
He stands up. He gives the lit candle to the Deacon.
Deacon
He puts the candle in a support.
Bishop
He lays his hands on the head of the Candidate and
blows –first cold and then hot− between his eyes, in
the nape, at the height of the kidneys, in the lower
belly. Then, he stands before him, always with his
hands on his head and says:
OH HOLY EMANATION, IN THE NAME OF KRESTOS
SOTER, DISSOLVE AND CONSUME ALL YOUR
IMPURITIES AND MAKE YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE
MEN!
He applies magnetic passes from the head to the

shoulders and says:
WAKE UP!
He applies magnetic passes from the shoulders to the
waist and says:
60
BECOME AWARE!
Bending down, he makes magnetic passes from the
waist to the feet, and says:
START THE WAY!
Then he draws a Tau on his forehead in the Sacred
Chrism of regeneration and says:
MAY THE HOLY PARACLETE ESTABLISH THE
DWELLING IN YOU!
Candidate
AMEN. AMEN.
Bishop
He pronounces in the ear of the Candidate the word:
EPHETA.
[In the Primitive discipline of Christianity, a meeting
of examination was made, where the baptised one
where admitted by choice. A sign of the cross was
made in the ears of the Catechumen, pronounced
Epheta, which designated the ceremony as “The
Scrutiny of the opening of ears”. So, ears were open
to receive the Cabbala Tradition of the Divine Truth].
Bishop
He recites now the Pater before the Altar, with the
Candidate:
61
OUR FATHER
OUR FATHER WHO ARE IN THE DEPTH OF THE
AEONS, MAY YOUR HOLY LOGOS BE UNDERSTOOD
AND ADORED ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE.
COME YOUR HOLY EMANATION UPON US TO PURIFY

US.
THY WILL BE DONE IN THE EARTH, AS IT IS DONE IN

THE HEAVENS.
GIVE US TODAY OUR SPIRITUAL NUTRIENT, THE

STRENGTH AND THE COURAGE TO EARN THE BREAD
NECESSARY FOR THE BODY.
FORGIVE OUR TRANSGRESSIONS TO YOUR LAW, AS

OUR ASSEMBLY FORGIVES THEM IN YOUR NAME FOR
THE REPENTANT SINNERS.
HOLD US IN OUR WEAKNESS SO THAT WE WILL NOT

SUCCUMB TO PASSIONS, AND MAKE US FREE FROM
THE MISLEADING ILLUSIONS OF THE ARCHON,
BECAUSE HE ONLY FEARS YOU, WHO ARE THE
MAJESTY, THE LAW AND THE STRENGTH IN ACTION
THROUGH AEONS.
MAY IT BE. AMEN.

Deacon
He stays at the right of the Bishop holding the cord,
and helps the Candidate to gird it after he has put on
the white tunic.
They sit down.
62
Bishop
He sits down again, and says:
¡CONSOLAMINI! ¡CONSOLAMINI! ¡POPULE MEUS!
CONSOLE ME! CONSOLE ME! MY PEOPLE!
Candidate
¡CONSOLATUR ME MISERICORDIA TUA!
I AM CONSOLED WITH YOUR MERCY!
The Assembly
It recites:
LUCERNA PLEROMATIS LUCIS MEIS SEMITIS
INCLINAVI COR MEUM AD TUUM ELOQUIUM.
CONSOLETUR ME MISERICORDIA TUA ERUCTABUNT

LABIA MEA HYMNUM. CONCUPIVI SALUTARETUUM.
ATTOLITE PORTAS, EONES, VESTRAS; ET ELEVAMINI

PORATE PLEROMATIS! CONSOLETUR ME
MISERICORDIA TUA!
AMEN.
LAMP OF FULL LIGHT IN MY PATHS, BEFORE YOUR ELOQUENCE I
HAVE BENT MY HEART.
MAY YOUR MERCY CONSOLE ME; MY LIPS WILL PRONOUNCE AN

HYMN. I ARDENTLY WISHED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO YOU.
RAISE YOUR DOORS, CENTURIES: AND THE DOORS OF PLENITUDE

WERE ARISEN FOR ME! CONSOLE ME WITH YOUR MERCY!
MAY IT BE.
Bishop
63
He kisses the forehead of the Candidate and says:
Oscoletur me osculo oris sul!
Deacon
He blows out the candles in an inverse order as how
he had lit them:
3°
2° 1º
Bishop
He stands up and the Assembly bow their head
forwards while the Bishop makes the Blessing:
CONSOLETUR VOS SANCTISSIMI PLEROMATA:
AEON CRESTOS ✠
AEON SOPHIA✠
ET AEON PNEUMA AGHION ✠
MAY YOUR CONSOLE BE THE CONGREGATION OF THE MOST HOLY

ONES:
TIME OF CHRIST
TIME OF WISDOM
TIME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
While the Bishop leaves, the Assembly sing:

DOMINA SALVAM FAC ECCLESIAM TUAM;
PATRIARCAM NOSTRUM JOHANNEM, EPISCOPOS,
64
OMNES SACERDOTES; ET EXAUDI NOS IN DIE IN QUE
INVOCAVERIMUS TEI. ¡AMEN!
LADY, KEEP SAFE THE CALLING OF YOUR CHURCH; OUR
PATRIARCH JOHN, THE BISHOPS, ALL THE PRIESTS; AND LISTEN TO
US ON THE DAY WE INVOKE YOU. MAY IT BE!

GNOSTIC ORDINATION
INTRODUCTION RITE FOR THE

CONFIRMATION OF ALL KIND OF
ORDINATIONS
The celebration of the Ineffable Mystery is

interrupted and it follows the ordination instead of
the usual lecture.
The Bishop sits on the mayoral seat, which is at his
disposal; he is wearing the Stole and the attributes
of a spiritual authority.
Deacon
He reads:
Souls, you who aspire to the knowledge and the
sight of the city of God; souls, you who are still
struggling in the darkness of the hylic universe
where the prince of this world dwells; come closer to
the edge of beatitude where the pure souls reach.
Souls, you who by remembering your divine origin
wish to go back to the celestial homeland and to the
sight of Jerusalem, at least know its appearance.
The city is of pure gold: clear as crystal. It is not
enlightened by the sun or by the moon because the
glory of God lights and his lamp is the Lamb. It has
a wall of jasper and in the wall there are twelve
doors, and on each one of them there is a pearl, and
its guard, and an aeon.
The city is founded on twelve stones.
The first one is of jasper, like the dark chaos of the
origin.
The second one is of sapphire, like the depth of the
heavens.
The third one is of chalcedony, which is the colour
of the lighting and of the fluids.
The fourth one is of emerald, like the new stars.
The fifth one is of onyx, like the riverbeds of the
earth.
The sixth one is of carnallite, like cooled matter.
The seventh one is of chrysolite, where the glow of
the fruitful sun persists.
The eighth one is of beryl, contained in the
transparency of sea water.
The ninth one is of topaz, which comes from
translucent air.
The tenth one is of chrysoprase, which keeps the
splendour of the spring foliage.
The eleventh one is of turquoise, the colour of the
flesh.
67
The twelfth one is of amethyst, which shines like the
juice of the grape.
These virtues of the stones are the appearance of
their nature, and the order of their classification
indicates the sequence of the metamorphosis through
which the divine lighting passes before penetrating
in the world of matter, where the city of God has its
foundations.
The twelve stones of the city are the shapes of the
sensitive world, without which the intelligible world
of the Pleroma cannot be reflected. And the twelve
doors of the city are the twelve paths through which
the reconciled souls go back to their celestial
homeland.
And so, we can imagine the city of God as some
kind of dodecahedron of light, whose twelve faces or
stratums limit and repel the gloomy world of the
kenoma.
The Bishop, in the last sentence, raises the right
hand, the INDEX FINGER upwards, the middle
finger and the thumb joined in the end, the ring
finger and the little finger separated from the other
fingers and slightly curved. The gesture expresses
the figure 1, the Superior Soul, the number 100, the
City, the setting Sun.
Deacon
He continues the lecture:
Because the latter was emanated from the divine
Propator, to serve as a prison for the archon and his
angels; and the great arrogant did not become that
way a governor and a prince.
Bishop
According to the tradition that was transmitted to us
by our worthy and holy predecessors, Lucifer, (who
was) the first of the angels, due to his rebellion, was
hastened in the prison of our gloomy atmosphere;
hence the words of the supreme: “Here I am to
create the new heavens and a new earth; and then we
will not remember these things any more”.
Be happy, then, since I am here to create Jerusalem
again for the glory of its people, in joy.
Bishop
He stands up and says:
Pneuma aegion, purify myself, so that I can worthily
fulfil your service. Similarly, may this temple be
purified, so that the lord may send his holy angel to
help us.
For this reason, my sons, prepare within you a pure
heart, where he can take you as a dwelling. All the
glory for centuries on is to him. May it be. We, who
are your servants, who joined by your name come to
your presence to worthily transmit this sacrament
that comes from you, and who receive the traditions
from the apostles of your only-begotten Jesus.
Bishop
69
He sits down while the supplicants remain standing
in front of him, and says:
Brother/s, do you renounce to the prince of this
world and god of this aeon; to his pageantry, his
works and all what is part of his kingdom, which
was given to him by inheritance and which serves
for having the souls chained?
Supplicants
One by one, they answer:
I renounce!
Bishop
After the answer of the supplicants, he continues:
Then, in the virtue of the power of which I am
unworthily invested, I free you of these chains in the
name of the omnipotent God, the Father ✠, the Son
✠and the Holy Spirit ✠.
Christ absolves you from all the links, frees you
from any oath and unties you from all the earthly,
human promises, according to the extension of my
power and of your needs.
He also absolves you from all the past mistakes, in
the name of the Father ✠, the Son ✠ and the Holy
Spirit ✠. May it be.
The passion of Christ our lord, the merits of the
divine Panagia, his mother, of all the saints, all the
good you do here in the earth, all your suffering,
serves for the remission of your mistakes, for the
increase of the grace in you and for your reward in
the eternal life. May it be.
Deacon
Then, he reads the Gospel, standing:
Reading of the holy gospel according to Saint Luke,
IX, 1-6:
[Jesus the living one] gathered the twelve of them,
gave them power and authority over demons and for
healing sickness, and sent them to preach the
kingdom of God and to heal the sickness.
He told them: “Do not take anything for the road:
nor a cane, nor a saddlebag, nor bread, nor money,
nor a pair of tunics. Stay in the house where you
enter until you leave that place, and if you are not
received, when you leave that village, shake the dust
from your feet as a testimony against them”.
They went and travel the villages, announcing the
good news and healing everywhere.
71
THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SAINT
LUKE X, 1-24
Mission of the 72- after this, the lord designated
another seventy-two men, and sent them before him,
in groups of two, to all the villages and places where
he planned to go.
And told them: “The harvest is great and the
labourers are few. Pray the lord of the harvest that he
sends labourers to his harvest. Go! See that I am
sending you as lambs among wolves. Do not wear
any bag, or saddlebags, or sandals; do not wave
anybody on the road. When you enter a house, say in
the first place: peace to this house. If people of peace
live there, your peace will rest upon them; if not, it
will return to you. Stay in that house, eating and
drinking from what they have, because the labourer
has the right to his wage. Do not walk from house to
house. If you reach a village and you are well
welcomed, eat whatever they serve you; heal the
sick there and tell them: the kingdom of God is near
you. But if you reach a village and you are not
welcomed, wander through the streets saying: even
the dust of your people that is stuck to our feet, we
shake it. I tell you that on the day of the judgement
there will be more tolerance for Sodom than for this
village”.
He recriminates the cities of Galilee − “Alas,
Chorazin! Alas, Bethsaida! Because if the miracles
that were made upon you, would have been done
upon Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented a
long time ago, covered of sackcloth and ashes. On
the day of the judgement, there will be more
tolerance for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you,
Capernaum, do you think you are going to ascend to
heaven? You will sink into the abyss. The one who
listens to you, listens to me; and the one who rejects
you, rejects me; and the one who rejects me, rejects
the one who has sent me”.
The 72 come back – The seventy-two came back full
of joy, saying: “Lord, even the demons are
submitted to us on your behalf”. And Jesus told
them: “I saw Satan falling down from the heaven
like a ray. See that I have given you the power of
walking on snakes and scorpions, and on all the
forces of the enemy, without being damaged. But do
not rejoice that the spirits are submitted to you;
better rejoice that your names are written in the
heaven”.
The Father and the Son – At that moment, full of joy
under the action of the Holy Spirit, he said: “I praise
you, Father, lord of the heaven and of the earth,
because you have hidden these things to the wise
man and to the erudite, and you have manifested
them to the simple. Yes, Father, because you have
desired so. My father has entrusted me all the things;
nobody knows the son but the Father; and nobody
knows the Father but the Son and he to whom the
Son wants to reveal it”.
73
He turned to the disciples and told them aside:
“Blissful the eyes that see what you see! I tell you
that many prophets and kings wanted to see what
you see and did not see it, and hear what you hear
and did not hear it”.
ORDINATION OF ACOLYTE
FIRST GRADE
BORBORIONIST (OR SECRET PUPIL)
Deacon
Approach whoever must be ordained Acolyte.
He approaches and the Deacon continues:
This is the first one of the Sacred Orders and the first
grade of the gnostic initiation: the Acolyte is chosen
among those who have received the Consolamentum
and who have showed a particular zeal in the
engagement of the works of the community, and
who wishes to be qualified to continue in the path of
the gnosis.
The tonsure that qualifies this first stage of the
gnostic initiation must be the visible signal of your
unconditional dedication to the eternal and your will
to serve the Ecclesia.
Bishop
He is sat, and the ones who are going to be ordained
are knelt around him:
Brethren, let us raise our pledge to the Highest
Propator so that he condescends to accept him as his
faithful servant, his son who, due to his love,
decided to take off his hair as a sign of humility and
to renounce to his profane vanity. May he want to
inspire in him his spirit, so that he keeps immaculate
his clothes of light that he is now willing to replace
to dispel the night.
May also courage, perseverance and strength be
inspired in him, in order to always make even more
externally visible his inner transformation; anyway,
free his eyes from all carnal darkness and always
grant him your grace and inspiration, for He who
eternally lives for ever and ever. Amen.
In the ancient times, the Bishop cut the hair of the
Candidate with a scissor making a crown on the
head, a crown that is the symbol of the new sacred
dignity of which he is going to be invested, by having
overcome the deceitful appearances of the world.
Nowadays, the cut is symbolic, and the Bishop is
limited to cut some hair in the forehead, in the nape,
in the temples, the right and left ones, and on the
crown.
The Bishop stands up and goes to the Altar:
Bishop
75
Let us pray:
Omnipotent and Eternal God, we beg you so that he,
your servant, whom we cut the hair as an homage to
Your divine love and who overcomes the vanity of
the world, may continue without hesitations and
remain in the path that leads to You, Ineffable.
For that reason, grant it to him, not because of our
merits, but for the intercession of your Son, the
living Christ, who lives and reigns at your right for
ever and ever. May it be!
The Bishop sits in his armchair. The ordinands stand
up.
Deacon
From the book “The Pastor”, of the Bishop Ermas:
And the tower asked you, what does my vision
mean?
This tower, the pastor answers me, is the Ecclesia.
And those twelve virgins, who are they? He asks
again.
They are spirits of sanctification and nobody can
access to the celestial kingdom without being
dressed as these virgins, with their own habit.
If you only receive the name of the son of God
without receiving his clothes from his hands, that
will not serve you at all.
Since those virgins are the virtue and the power of
the Son of God. And if you wear his name without
possessing the virtue, you are wearing his name in
vain.
From the Book of the Ecclesiastes (Ix, 8):
“Always wear white clothes...”
Bishop
The Bishop, who at the time of the lecture is sat on
his armchair, says:
The lecture wants to warn you that, from now on,
your actions and words will be, in any circumstance
and place, pure and true, and that you will keep to
justice, since with it you will weave, now and for all
eternity, the spiritual habit that you will wear at the
end of this, your earthly existence.
For that reason, on this day, when you are insolubly
linked to the eternal light, I cover you for the first
time with these ideal unstained clothes. May you
always be able to bear in mind the luminous shape
that will have to, according to the superior designs,
be your own dwelling in the great Day of the
“Sabbath”.
He covers him with the ALB Esenia and ties the cord
to him, the symbol of a new man who replaces the
historical man as well as the symbol for the purity of
his wishes and purposes.
77
FORMULA OF THE INVESTITURE
I [NAME], as Bishop of our Ecclesia, mark your
forehead with the tau τ, which for the ancient world
was the signal of the supremacy over the helmets of
the soldiers used in battle. May it be and constitute
for you, with the own image of the gnosis and the
memory of the victory upon the death of Christ, a
sacred guarantee of the eternal life.
Your duty within the community is to preside over
the preparation works for the celebration of the rites;
to take care of the lighting of the fire; to see that all
the instruments are in their due place; and to
collaborate with the sub Deacon to dispatch all the
necessary actions for the perfect development of the
rite. By being the first one in entering the temple,
you will always have to light the lights, receive the
members and guide them to their respective places.
He puts on him, on the neck, the black necklace with
the TAU and gives him the triple hug.
“Always remember this day, which marks your entry
in the Church of God”.
The Acolyte goes back to the group and the Mass
continues.
ORDINATION OF CUSTODIAN OR
OSTIARIUS
SECOND GRADE
CARDIONIST = MENDICANT,
(PERFECT PUPIL OR GUARDIAN OF THE
TEMPLE)
Deacon
Approach whoever must be ordained Custodian.
The Custodians are chosen among the Acolytes.
They are ordained for the function of Guarding the
Temple and they are entrusted the duty of gathering
the Assembly, of opening and closing the meeting
place and of taking care that everything is in its due
place.
Who is going to be ordained kneels before the
Bishop. The Deacon gives him to drink from a small
glass of tin and lead, which contains water with
some drops of oil and says:
RECIPE HUMILITATIS PROCULUM ET INTER
CODDIANUS INGREDIES.
THE ONE WHO JOINS, ACCEPT PROCULUM WITH HUMILITY AND
BETWEEN THE [CODDIANUS]
The ordinand stands up.

79
Bishop
He gives him the keys, tied together with a green
cord, and says:
Son, consider carefully the symbol of your function:
Your function within the community is to summon
the Assembly, to open the doors of the church of
which you will be the attentive and scrupulous
guard, and during the ritual, you will be entitled of
having the sacred books opened before he who
teaches or reads for the edification of the Neophytes.
But your duty is marked by the gnostic concept of an
esoteric form in the field of pneumatology, of
psychurgy and of theurgy; as you will open and
close the visible temple with the keys, similarly, you
will strive, by the word, and above all, by the
example, in closing the passage to the evil archon
and to open it to God, and to whom comes on his
behalf, the invisible church, formed by the hearts of
the brethren, where they intensely understand, use
and practice the divine word.
May the omnipotent lord grant you his mercy!
He gives him a candelabrum with a lit candle, and
says:
Take this candelabrum and know that you are
authorized to light the lights in the House of the
Lord. May this light in your hands teach you to carry
the light from conscience to any place where there is
darkness of ignorance.
80
The ordinand drops the candelabrum.
He makes him touch the empty jars and says:
Take the jars and fill them with wine and water for
the Eucharistic sacrifice in the name of highest God,
who lives and reigns for aeons and aeons. May it
be!
He lays his hands on his head and says:
I, [NAME], Bishop of our Holy Ecclesia, appoint you
[NAME OF THE ORDINAND], custodian of the temple.
Behave as if you should give God an explanation, at
any given time, of the things that are entrusted to
you in custody.
He puts on his neck the black necklace striped in
blue with the TAU and gives him the triple hug.
The Custodian goes back to the group and the Mass
continues.
ORDINATION OF READER
THIRD GRADE
NINFIUSITA
Approach whoever must be ordained Reader.

The Reader is entitled of the instruction of the ones
81
who have just received the Consolamentum and of
reading to the Assembly the communications of the
ancients of the community, as well as the Holy
Scriptures out of the rite; besides, you are entitled of
ringing the “gong” for the words of power or the
sung hymns; he also has the faculty of blessing the
bread and the table, as well as the fruits that are
collected.
Deacon
He reads:
From the Gnostic Psalms:
In this world I have remained myriads of years and
have lost the memory of my cradle, in such a way
that I have been bearing distress and suffering for a
long time.
Who threw me into the origin of the body? Who
constrains me to live in uncertainty and fear? Who
has moved me from light to darkness?
Afflictions and pain I am suffering in these corporal
clothes, how many more times should I leave them
and take them again?
I am a spark of the great life and I was chained in
these narrow clothes and out of your centre,
exhausted from nostalgia.
I have a divine origin and I am the son of peaceful
and just people, and now I am here mixed with the
82
evil and the unholy ones. Lead me, I beg you, out of
the hug of death.
Pause, then he continues:
They took living water and poured it into the murky
waters.
They took a light that shone and threw it into the
thick darkness.
They took the air that refreshes and threw it into the
ardent air.
They took the living fire and threw it into the
destructive fire.
They took the soul, which is light, and threw it in the
thick and dark body.
Bishop
Indistinctly, all men, (the good and the bad ones),
are sons of God, and that is why they, but only the
gnostic pneumatic ones, have a full knowledge,
because even when they live and operate in the
world, they do not belong to this world any more, by
being exempted of the procedure of conscience.
Meanwhile, the others, the psychic and the deceitful
ones, are still waiting in the dream and in
forgiveness, being necessary to take them the Word
of God, his Verb, the perennial Gnosis, so that they
wake up.
83
Your exact mission is just to reveal the Divine
Word. Be aware of this great responsibility, so the
divine teachings may never be altered or distorted
because of you.
In sum, you shall guard and transmit the Holy
Gnosis, which our worthy predecessors transmitted
to us; but, above all, you shall be coherent and agree,
morally, with those teachings that the example of
your life must confirm and that must be proposed.
Because the Holy Spirit, by taking possession of
you, will also lead you, from now on, where you do
not wish to go, and whatever the dangers inherent to
the world of darkness are, you will be led to preach
and operate, you shall be the mediator of the spirit
and its interpreter together with men.
May the Omnipotent Eternal God wish to make your
actions and words be perfectly proper to his wish.
He handles him the Gospels and lays his hands on
his head and says:
Receive the Holy Gospels and take them to all the
Brethren.
He makes the sign of the cross upon his heart,
saying:
SPIRITUS PARACLOETISIT IN CORDE TUO.
MAY THE SPIRIT OF THE PARACLETE BE IN YOUR HEART.
(upon his mouth)
84
ET IN LABIS TUIS.
AND IN YOUR LIPS.
(on his forehead)

UT DIGNE ET COMPETENTER ANNUNIIES VERBUM
DEI.
SO THAT YOU WORTHY ANNOUNCE THE WORD OF GOD WITH
FIDELITY.
He lays his hands on his head, and says:

I [NAME], Bishop of our Holy Ecclesia, consecrate
you [NAME OF THE ORDINAND], reader of the Word
of God.
He gives him the blessing:
In the name of the Father ✠, of the Son ✠and of our

Lady the Holy Spirit✠
He makes a big TAU from both shoulders to the
lower belly, saying:
UC ACCEDE ET ACCIPE IGNUM SANCTISSIMI
PLEROMATIS ET UMILES INTRA INTER FRATES UT
BONUM CERTAMEN CERTIS.
ENTER HERE AND ACCEPT THE FIRE OF THE CONGREGATION OF
THE MOST HOLY ONES, AND THE MOST HUMBLE ONES AMONG
THE BRETHREN, SO THAT YOU CAN FIGHT A GOOD COMBAT.
He puts on his neck the white necklace with TAU,

and says:
85
HOC EST SIGNUM PECCATORUM REDENCTIONIS.
THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE REDEMPTION OF SINNERS.
He gives him the triple hug, the Reader goes back to
the group and the Mass continues.
86
ORDINATION OF EXORCIST
FOURTH GRADE
STRACIONIST = MILITE
Deacon
Approach whoever must be ordained Exorcist.
From the Gospel according to Saint Luke (IX, 1 y
6):
“He summoned the Twelve and granted them power
and authority upon all the demons, and power to
heal sickness. And he sent them to proclaim the
kingdom of God and to heal the sick”.
“When they left, they wandered the villages
announcing the good news and healing the sick
everywhere”.
Bishop
Beloved son, I am sure that you are fully aware of
what you are going to receive.
The function of the Exorcist is to dispel the inferior
spirits (demons) from the bodies of those who are
possessed, animals, plants and minerals. To free the
infested places, to neutralize the spells and to undo
all the actions that may have any link to dark magic.
87
Besides, your duty is to dispel whoever approaches
communion without the required purification.
Today, you will receive the power of laying your
hands on and of exorcising, and, by the grace of the
virtue of the HOLY SPIRIT, you will acquire the
virtue and the power to repel the powers of darkness
and to make them flee.
But you shall be free of these disastrous powers
from which you shall free the others.
For that reason, it is necessary that you possess the
maximum grade of purity of heart and mind, because
the most you have persuaded yourself about the
deceitful devices of their malice, the greater will be
your power against the negative forces.
Therefore, be moderate and chaste, pray and
frequently practice fasting, and God, with his Holy
Spirit, will be in you and with you so the adversary
will not prevail.
The Bishop takes his hands and says:
MARANATHA
Take the dagger; he passes it over his head with the
blade horizontally (parallel to the floor). Then, he
passes the flame of a candle in front of his eyes, and
says:
ACCIPE LUMEN SANCTISSIMI PARACLAETI
RECEIVE THE LIGHT OF THE MOST HOLY PARACLETE.
88
Laying his hands on his head, he says:
Receive the power of laying your hands to expel and
repel the evil spirits and to destroy their dark works.
The Bishop pours three drops of Holy Oil:
For this reason, I, [NAME], Bishop of our Holy
Ecclesia, ordain and invest you [NAME]
EXORCIST!
In the name of the FATHER ✠, of the Son ✠and of

the Holy Spirit✠
You have to know, Exorcist, that the Exorcism
consists on the practice of a certain Ritual to purify
whoever or whatever through the word and the
laying on hands. For that reason, the Lustral Salt and
Water are used, as well as a lit candle and
fumigations (incense).
It can be exorcised: men and women, groups of
people, places, natural elements, vehicles, lands,
objects, animals, sick people, human passions,
images, symbols, events and spirits.
This can be made at any time of the year, according
to the need and to the applications, and its purpose is
to destroy the larvae and the demonic possessions.
In our Church we use a particular text.
He handles him the book of exorcisms.
This text can be changeable according to the desired
89
goal.
The advice we give is to preferably make use of the
Exorcism in a period of new moon or full moon, at a
propitious planetary hour, if possible.
The Rite will be more or less effective according to
you purity and aspiration, since our ritual was
proved within time, so scrupulously take care of the
form.
The general formula for all the occasions is:
I [NAME] exorcise and purifies you; I free you from
the possessions and the influences of all the evil
spirits that hate you and that are stuck to you, in the
name of the FATHER ✠, of the Son ✠ and of the
Holy Spirit✠.
AMEN.
He puts on his neck the hallmark of his grade: a
white necklace striped in red with the TAU.
He says goodbye with the triple hug. The Mass
continues.
ORDINATION OF SUB DEACON
FIFTH GRADE
FIBIONITE
90
The Sub Deacon is the Custodian of the Tabernacle.
His duty is to polish the Chalice and the Paten after
the Sacrifice of the Mass. He must take care of the
towels and of the linens of the Altar and make sure
that the clothes and the royalties are in order for
their use. He reads the Epistles and organizes the
place for the ceremonies and, during the rites, he
stays near the Altar, at the left of the Celebrant, and
he also helps the Deacon in his functions. In the
processions, he follows the Deacon and wears the
Dawn with cord, the Amice and the Stole, that hangs
from his left shoulder to the ground.
Deacon
Approach whoever must be ordained Sub Deacon.
Candidate
He approaches.
Bishop
The Bishop is sat down and the ordinand is in front
of him, standing, in the position of the good
shepherd.
Prisoner of illusions and of ignorance, through your
inner awakening, you finally got to know who we
were and into what we turned due to the place where
we were, where we are walking to and from where
and by whom we were freed; what is to be born and
what is to die.
For that reason, the LIVING Christ came, not to
91
save us from sin, but as a Light, as a Guide, to open
the direct path to free us from ignorance, to open us
to the spiritual understanding, in which we are
regenerated, because Gold, even if it has been
thrown into mud, does not lose its splendour and
keeps its nature intact, since as soon as the mud that
covers it is removed, it shines again.
Having already achieved the second birth, you grew
up in the interior of our ECCLESIA thanks to the
example of our Master Jesus, for whom you are
about to be received in the Order of the Sub
Deacons; therefore, it is necessary that before you
assume such a lot of responsibility, after having well
reflected, you pull out, within your possibilities,
your definite will.
You are still free, but if you persist in your holy
purpose, kneel down.
After the ordinand kneels down, the Bishop still
directs his movements:
Beloved son, by receiving the first one of the Higher
Orders (Deacon), you voluntarily renounce to the
world and to its deceitful flatteries to devote without
reservation to the service of the ONE AND
INTERNAL ECCLESIA, which has its visible
expression in the Assembly of the Initiates in the
PERENNIAL GNOSIS.
In the community, your material tasks are, apart
from reading the scriptures and teaching the Grade
92
to the Neophytes, to polish the Chalice and the
Paten, to wash the tablecloths of the Altar, to
decorate the TEMPLE for the meetings and to take
care that everything is properly developing. But
above all, your more important commitment is
spiritual, that is to say, to be willing to become the
bearer of the MOST SACRED between men, so that
your presence should emanate an image or a Sacred
Aura in the surrounding atmosphere.
He presses his hands and pronounces the Word of
pass of the Christians of the 1st century.
MARANATHA
He passes a lit candle before his eyes, an allegory of
the flame that is now lit within him, a flame to light
other flames. He lays his hands on the head and
says:
Trusting that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, you
will be worthy, I [NAME], Bishop of our Holy
Ecclesia, receive you herald in the Christian,
spiritual militia and include you in the order of sub
Deacons.
He handles him the Book of the Holy Scriptures:
Receive the sacred texts and have the power and the
wisdom to read them properly and truly, and to
comment them for the edification and the awakening
of your brethren.
He offers him the Chalice and the Paten, which the
93
ordinand holds, while the Bishop says:
The chalice and the paten are the symbols of the
carnal body of the begotten son of god, being his
true mystic body manifested in the sacred species.
By having received now the first dignity of the
eternal priesthood, and therefore being a custodian
and defender of the earthly altar, which is the image
of the luminous altar of the celestial Jerusalem, turn
your body into a chalice and paten to receive the
blessing from above, so that it is poured upon the
world.
He puts the Stole on his left shoulder leaving it fall
vertically; he puts on his neck the red necklace with
the TAU, gives him the triple hug and draws a big
TAU from the neck to the belly button, saying:
ACCIPE SIGNUM SANCTISSIMI PLEROMATIS ET
ACCEDE INTER FRATRES TUOS INAMORE ET
CHARITATE.
He gives him the triple hug and the new Sub Deacon
goes back to the group.
The Mass continues.
ORDINATION OF DEACON
SIXTH GRADE
ZAQUEITA = HE WHO RECEIVES THE
LORD
94
It was first conferred by the School of the own
Apostles of the Master Jesus and the Deacon martyr
Stephen is a glorious example for all those who are
about to receive the same power.
He is the most direct assistant of the Altar. He can
only be appointed by he who is already Sub Deacon.
During the ceremony, he stays at the right of the
Officiant, reads and comments the Gospels and
distributes the Holy Particles already consecrated
by the PRESBYTER.
Deacon
Approach whoever must be consecrated Deacon.
Candidate
The ordinand approaches and kneels before the
Altar.
Deacon
Acts of the Apostles VI, 2-6:
The twelve of them summoned all their disciples and
told them:
It is not fair that we neglect the Word of God to
serve the table; therefore, Brethren, appoint seven
men of yours, respected, gifted with Spirit and
prudence and we will entrust them with this duty.
We will devote to pray and to the ministry of word.
95
They all approved the proposal and chose Stephen, a
man full of Faith and Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus,
Nicanor, Timon, Parmenus and Nicolaus, a proselyte
of Antioch. They were introduced to the Apostles;
they prayed and laid their hands.
Bishop
In the Altar, he raises his hands in the shape of a
cup, and says:
PROPATOR, Ineffable, Unpronounceable, from
You we come and to You we return.
You promised us a personal authority without
anybody placing obstacles in our true identity, which
is Yours. You promised us seas, worlds and heavens,
so that the intelligible spirits come to live here and
so that we become gods, because we will know that
we are born from you and that You are in and out of
us. You will live in our AEON.
Your Verb is bless for all the Creation and now we
beg that You emanate a special and blessed effusion
upon this stole, the feature of Your Eternal
Priesthood and as it was in the ancient time, the
particular clothes of the Levite. May this be turned
now to your servant, whom we are going to elevate
to the dignity of Deacon, the living symbol of Your
service.
May him, in turn, evoke the name of Jesus the
Living, receive help, protection and enlightenment
96
for his work at the service of our Ecclesia.
All the Glory be to You, for ever and ever. Amen.
Bishop
He sits down again facing the ordinand, and says:
So, therefore, son, if the Sub Deacon is the
transposition in the new alliance of the Levite, of the
ancient Law, the Deacon is the transposition of the
children of Aaron in the Christian ambient, as well
as the Presbyter and the Bishop are also the
substitutes of Aaron and Moses.
On this day, happy for you, when you receive the
plenitude of the Levitical functions, at the service of
the Tabernacle of the testimony that is the Eternal
Church, the legions of the adversary start their
attacks against you, who are, in the invisible, his
minister, for which it is useful and appropriate to
remember the words of Saint Paul:
“We must not fight against the flesh and the blood,
nor against the princes and the legal authorities of
this world, but against the badly spread spirits of the
air”.
You shall oppose them your science, your strength,
the Holy Word and your best actions. Be, therefore,
a faithful and spirited Levite, because Levite means
upright, straight; therefore, be proud among the ones
that are above you, and when you are ready to be the
collaborator of a mysterious and continued sacrifice,
97
you shall suit to the scriptures that guard.
Be pure, since you are carrying the sacred vases.
May the Lord God, the Highest, grant it to you, for
the intercession of his Begotten Son, Christ the
Living. Amen.
The Bishop lays his hands on the head of the
ordinand, keeps them on the crown, then he slowly
puts them down at both sides of his face, then down
his shoulders and arms, and then down all the body
and tells him:
VENI, ACCIPIARIS INTER ZACHEOS, SICUT JESUS ET
ZACHEO RECEPTUS EST. ACCIPE BAPTHISMA
SPIRITUI SANCTI ET SANCTI LUMINI.
COME, YOU WILL HAVE ENTERED BETWEEN THE PEOPLE OF
ZACCHAEUS, LIKE JESUS IS RECEIVED BY ZACCHAEUS. RECEIVE
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND OF THE HOLY LIGHT.
He draws a TAU on his head, his mouth and his

heart, saying:
HOC EST SIGNUM BAPTISMATIS SANCTI SPIRITUI.
THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
With the thumb soaked in Holy Oil, he draws on the

tonsure a cross to call the Spirit over the Pineal
gland, the point of communication between the spirit
of the man and of the upper world.
98
FORMULA OF INVESTITURE
I, … [NAME]…, Bishop of our Holy Ecclesia,
receive you in the Order of the Deacons in the name
of the Father ✠, of the Son✠and of the Holy Spirit
✠.Amen!
Be always aware that the material functions of a
priest minister dissimulate the much more important
functions.
For that reason, beloved son, always fight evil no
matter in which form it appears, as much as possible,
before your Brethren in the humanity of ignorance.
Heal all the sickness of the body and of the soul;
comfort and be caring with whom is afflicted or in
disgrace, generously give all the lights of knowledge
wherever you understand the sense of suffering and
for that reason admit the occasion of growth and
regeneration.
Teach that any man brings his pre-existing race and
is directed to the place from where he came, to his
end, where they know who they were and how they
are now, so that they turn once again into what they
were, real gods, because they are the children of
God.
While the ordinand stays on his knees, the Bishop
goes to the Altar, and says:
Omnipotent God, Eternal PROPATOR, Holy is your
99
Unpronounceable Name; condescend to bless him,
Your servant, who has chosen to fulfil, in Your
Invisible Church, the function of Deacon.
Grant him to be always with his Grace and the help
of the Holy Spirit, as a worthy Minister of Your
Altar and the truthful booster of You Holy Law.
May the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Strength, of
Advice, of Intelligence and of Charity be upon him.
While the Bishop goes back to his seat, the Deacon
reads:
From the Testament of Galilee, Copts apocryphal
The glory of the angels is considered a kind of
clothes.
And you will really resurrect in your own shape, in
the course of a second generation. Cover yourselves
with an incorruptible clothe with your living soul.
Bishop
He blesses the stole:
May it come upon this stole the Blessing of God
Father ✠, of the Son ✠ and of Our Lady the Holy
Spirit ✠, so that it turns, whoever wears it, into
someone strong and intrepid in the combat against
the spirits that do not proclaim the Glory of God.
Amen.
Bishop
100
He places the stole as a shoulder bag, on the right
shoulder of the new Deacon:
Therefore, may the Lord cover you with the clothes
of Regeneration and Glory, in the name of the Lord.
Amen.
He takes the book of Gospels, and makes the new
Deacon touch it with his right hand:
Receive the power of reading and comment the
Sacred Scripture in the Church of God.
He lays on him the right hand on the head:
Receive the Holy Spirit!
He puts him on the red necklace, striped in gold with
the TAU and gives him the triple hug. The Mass
continues.
101
ORDINATION OF PRESBYTER
SEVENTH GRADE
BARBELITA = SON OF THE LORD
It is the seventh grade of the Gnostic Initiation and

is also known as the Master of the Seven Voices and
of the Four Powers, and also the TRAINER of the
MYSTERY OF THE GREAT NAME. While the
baptism of water is the mark of salvation (which
marks and distinguishes the new Christian) or the
star of the path of redemption, as well as the
Baptism of Fire and Air awakes the divine germ of
men, the Priesthood or the Higher Initiation
consecrates the future and total liberation from
darkness and from the gloomy forces, inasmuch it
detaches the individual from the profanation and
inserts him in the Pontifical Initiatic Chain between
the visible and the invisible.
It is an extraordinary consecration conferred to
those Deacons who proved themselves suitable for
this sublime ministry by the fact that, answering to
an inner call, they are willing to break any profane
connection with the world to live a system of service.
It is a liturgical action in which the Holy Spirit
confers, through an apostolic succession that dates
back to CHRIST and from HIM to MELCHIZEDEK,
the investiture of the Consecrating power and the
virtue of TRANSMITTING and choosing.
The Lower Orders first, and the Higher ones later,
were nothing but the preparation and the prelude to
turn the individual into a Minister of the ECCLESIA
and a PRIEST of the HIGHEST.
As a reminder, the Lower Orders are:
ACOLYTE
CUSTODIAN
READER
EXORCIST
SUB DEACON
The Higher Orders are:
DEACON
PRESBYTER
BISHOP
Deacon
Approach whoever has been chosen for the
PRIESTHOOD!
He approaches.
Deacon
He reads:
When Adam was close to the corporal death, he
103
called his son SET, ENOS son of SET, KENAN son
of ENOS and MAHALALEL son of KENAN, and
announced them his last will:
“Here is the vow that your children and the children
of you children shall observe after my death: you
will embalm my mortal remains with myrrh, incense
and cinnamon and you will place them in a cavern
only known by you.
And he, who is alive among my direct descendants,
when I must leave the Land of Eden, will unbury my
body and place it in the exact point of the earthly
centre, because Salvation will later come from that
place, for me and for all my descendants”.
The descendants of Adam made exactly what had
been prescribed; so it happened one day that the
Eternal Angel came down to SEM and
MELCHIZEDEK, but he purified their hearts first.
He then told MELCHIZEDEK: Take the bread and
the wine of SEM. And MELCHIZEDEK took them
as the Angel had ordained him and all of them
stayed until evening next to the tomb of ADAM.
Then, from the Height it followed a great clarity that
placed on the body of our common father. Then,
they, full of joy, started to sing. And when the sun
set down in the horizon, the Voice of the HIGHEST
became very loudly for MELCHIZEDEK and
ordained him:
“Stand up and take twelve stones and build an Altar
104
with them, and place the bread and the wine that
SEM gave you upon them, divide it in accordance
and eat and drink from this offering so that it may be
the communion between you and he and between
you both and Me”.
And MELCHIZEDEK, after having prayed to GOD
and accepted with pleasure the offering, shared the
bread and the wine with SEM.
And the spirit of GOD came down in the Host of
sacrifice and the mountain shone with a radiant light.
Then, the Angels, rejoicing between them,
exclaimed:
“GOD the HIGHEST be praised, who created those
creatures called MEN and to whom he revealed such
deep MYSTERIES”.
Then, the Verb of GOD said, appearing before
MELCHIZEDEK:
“Behold, I choose you as my priest for all eternity,
and like you and Sem have consummated the first
sacrifice, after having erected this first altar with
twelve stones, so when the certain time has come, I
will choose then among men twelve apostles, all the
columns of my kingdom on earth, and as you have
offered the bread and the wine, so I will offer my
body and my blood for the regeneration of men, and
I will turn this place where you celebrated this first
sacrifice into a holy place, since there the body of
Adam was buried, your ancient father, and a seed of
105
a new generation will emerge and I will generously
give my race to all the ones who shall meet there”.
The Bishop goes to the ordinand:
The Priest must be perfect insofar as human nature
consents, in the knowledge and in the works,
because before anointing you with the Sacred Oil as
the efficient co-operator of our Episcopal Ministry
and enlightened instructor for the training of the
members of the community, I tell you that, from
now on, all your actions shall be marked by the spirit
of service and fraternity; for that reason I am obliged
to ask for the help and approval of all the assembly,
since, right now, although my heart is exulting joy
for your decision, I am deeply conscious of the huge
responsibility that I am assuming: therefore, all of
you, Brethren of the fraternity, I ask you that, if
someone among you is aware of any shadow or
impediment that contravenes the sublime dignity
that I am going to confer, may speak now or be quiet
forever.
Not being any impediment, the Bishop continues:
Very beloved son, since the Consensus of the
Brethren is the will of the EGREGORE of our
Initiatic current, which has chosen you so that you
are invested with the Power of the keys for the
custody of the sacraments, your precise duty shall be
from now on to operate what is sacred, that is to say,
to celebrate the sacrifices, to bless, to consecrate and
106
to preside the assemblies. You must know that the
consecrating anointment makes you the messenger
of the LORD between men, so that you perpetuate
the presence of CHRIST as soon as you receive the
power of transmuting with the words of the natural
species in the BODY AND in the BLOOD OF
CHRIST. For this reason, you must become a
CHRIST so that the TRANSMUTATION may be
real and not a simple symbol.
Then, do you promise to faithfully comply with,
within your possibilities, this HOLY MINISTRY in
the integrity of your life and in a complete
dedication so that us, by having elevated you to such
a great charge, and you, by having received it, may
not deserve censure but the praise of the people of
GOD and the consent of the HIGHEST?
Ordinand
I do!
Bishop
He stands up and goes to the Altar:
Let us pray, Brethren, so that GOD OMNIPOTENT
and ETERNAL may grant him, his chosen one, the
abundance of his Grace, so that he can honourably
fulfil his MINISTRY.
They all kneel down.
Bishop
107
May eternal God, one and triune, be always with
you.
Assembly
And in your spirit.
Bishop
Let us raise our hearts.
Assembly
We have them up.
Bishop
Let us pray to God.
Assembly
It is worthy and just.
Bishop
It is really worthy and just that we raise our prayers
to your GLORY for having chosen him, Your son,
as Your messenger among men; therefore, grant him
the necessary virtue for such a great Ministry.
He blesses, sanctifies and consecrates him:
May the Holy SPIRIT come down to him to
enlighten, help and guide him at any moment of his
earthly existence, where one day he may be a part of
the multitude of the Elected of the Triumphant
Invisible Church in the bosom of the Divine
PLEROMA.
108
This we ask you, OMNIPOTENT GOD, for the
intercession of OUR LORD, Jesus THE LIVING,
who reigns WITH YOU, for ever and ever. May it
be.
While the Bishop sits down again, the Deacon says:
VENI, SANCTI SPIRITU
ET EMITTE CAELITUS
LUCIS TUAE RADIUM.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT
AND SEND FROM THE HEAVEN THE RAY OF YOUR LIGHT.
Candidate
He puts his two hands open with the palms upwards.
Bishop
He soaks the thumb in the Consecrated Oil, draws a
cross, on the hands of the ordinand, which goes
from the right thumb to the left index finger and
from the left thumb to the right index finger;
Then, he pours oil on both hands and closes them
with the fingers bent over the palms and says:
Condescend, OMNIPOTENT GOD, to consecrate
and sanctify these hands with this holy anointment
and with our blessing, so that whatever he blesses,
may be blessed, and whatever he consecrates, may
be consecrated, and may he sanctify in the name of
LIVING CHRIST, WHO LIVES AND REIGNS
109
WITH YOU IN THE PLEROMA OF THE AEONS.
May it be.
The Bishop closes both hands again, one against the
other, and ties them together with a consecrated
linen, and lays both hands on his head (if there are
other Bishops, they also do the same).
He gives the new Priest the liturgical instruments.
He takes the Chalice that contains wine and water;
upon the chalice, he puts the paten with bread and
he holds everything in his hands, saying:
Receive the power of offering God the Eucharistic
Sacrifice for the living and the dead ones.
Now the Bishop and the new Priest clean off the
oiliness of the hands with cotton, lemon and bread
crust, and then they wash and rinse.
The Bishop places now the stole in the shape of the
Cross of Saint Andrew on the chest of the devote,
making it pass below the cord of DAWN (tunic),
and says:
TU ES SACERDOS IN AETERNUM SECUNDUM
ORDINEM MELKISEDEK.
YOU ARE A PRIEST, FOR ALL ETERNITY, ACCORDING TO THE
ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.
May you teach the PERENNIAL GNOSIS,
possessed and practiced by you so that your way of
life confirms its validity.
110
May JUSTICE, TEMPERANCE, PRUDENCE and
STRENGTH, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE
OTHER SANCTIFYING VIRTUES shine within
you.
Keep intact the Initiatic deposit that is now entrusted
to you and work in favour of the people of GOD,
blessing them, and may the Holy Spirit be always in
and with you. AMEN.
The Mass continues to be interrupted once again
after the Communion.
✠✠✠
(After the Communion)
The Bishop lays his hands on his head, and then
blows around him, saying:
IESHOUAH
Then, he soaks his thumb with saliva and draws:
On his forehead, the letter y IOD
On his left ear: h HE
On the palm of his right hand: c SHIN
On the palm of his left hand: w VAU
On his right ear: h HE
He draws a TAU on his forehead, saying:
BE QUIET.
111
On his ears, saying:
LISTEN
On his heart, saying:
LOVE
On his abdomen, saying:
CREATE
On his left arm, saying:
FIGHT
On his right arm, saying:
DEFEAT
He takes his hands in between his and gives him the
triple hug, saying:
May the peace of the lord be always with you!
He puts on his neck the golden necklace with the
TAU and gives him the GREAT BLESSING:
May the blessing of God Father ✠, God Son ✠ and

God Holy Spirit ✠, descend upon you, so that you
are blessed in the Priest Order according to
Melchizedek, so that you can offer the Highest
Omnipotent God the proper sacrifices for the health
of his people, to whom honour and glory belong for
ever and ever. Amen.
112
Before the Mass continues, the Deacon reads (while
everything that was used for the Ordination is
collected).
Here is the order of CHRIST for his PRIESTHOOD:
Talk to all the creatures, go to the limits of the earth;
preserve yourselves, because I will be with you until
the consummation of the centuries.
And the Levite who, as an answer to his call, has
died to the world ever since his first offering of
service with the tonsure, now comes back with the
Gospel in his hands, on his slips, on his heart, and
the LIVING CHRIST is the light that reveals the
people the pure fountain for the Perennial Holy
Gnosis.
The Mass is ended.
BISHOP CONSECRATION
EIGHTH GRADE
(During the Mass, after the Consecration)
2nd Officiant
Reach whoever must be Consecrated Bishop.
He reaches.
The 2nd Officiant, addressing to the Officiant, says:
Most Reverend Father, the Gnostic Ecclesia asks
you to Consecrate this Brother of us as Bishop.
113
Officiant
Do you know if he is worthy?
2nd Officiant
I have witnessed that he has been considered worthy.
Officiant
You must know, my beloved son, that the Office of
Bishop is entitled of consecrating, ordaining,
offering sacrifice, anointing, blessing, tying and
untying, baptising, presiding, interpreting and
judging. Therefore, do you promise to use the
Episcopal power for the development of this Office?
Neophyte
Yes, I do.
Officiant
Do you want to be Consecrated Bishop of the
Gnostic Ecclesia and receive the traditional
Apostolic Succession that will make you a
Hierophant of the Gnostic Mysteries?
Neophyte
Yes, I do.
Who is going to be consecrated, kneels down. All the
Assembly also kneels down.
114
The Officiant Bishop (without the Crozier) and the
Assistant Bishops, place both hands on the head of
the Neophyte, saying:
The opening of the Mind and the Superior
Intelligence, the Casual Intelligence and the
connection between the Intuition and the Christic
Principle.
Receive the sacred breath of Our Lady, for the
Office and Work of Hierophant and Bishop of the
Gnostic Ecclesia, transmitted to you now by the
Laying on of the Hands.
Officiant Bishop
He kisses the Neophyte in the centre of his forehead.
They all stand up.
May the Father, who dwells in all our hearts and
Sophia, the Mother, who weeps for all of us, live in
your heart and be a safeguard in your work.
Neophyte
He stands up.
Officiant
Remember that the Divine Grace was given to you
for this laying on of the Hands, since through this
gesture I conferred you Power, Love and Wisdom.
You have to know that the Bishop represents the
Hierophant of the Higher Mysteries, whose power
115
and look penetrate into times and spaces and he
possesses all the oracular capacity of the Universe.
Only the sword of the look of the Hierophant, the
vehicle of his Will, separates the man from the bee;
the river from the air; the spirit from the sun.
The Bishop can, out of his right, sit down in the
throne that makes the laws of the Cosmos turn.
The look of the Hierophant feeds with Love, because
nothing or nobody can disturb his serenity.
The movement arises from his right hand and the
inertia remains in his left hand.
Only he can turn active into passive and passive into
active.
The Bishop receives the name of Hermit, which
corresponds to the Arcane with the same name.
Therefore, the Hermit is the Eternal Prophet, the
Magician of the voice of Power, the Seed of
everything and the Secret of the Door of the
Initiation in the Higher Mysteries.
He walks alone, carrying the light and the Crozier.
And the light is so brilliant that nobody sees it.
He is not moved by anything external or internal,
and is always quiet.
May your condition as human being does not
enslave the Ministry of the Apostolate, of your inner
work of individualization, which is the way towards
116
the real salvation through Knowledge.
He who is going to be consecrated lies down on the
floor, upside down, with his arms forwards.
The Officiant anoints the head of the Neophyte with
consecrated oil, saying:
The Ecclesia involves you in the High Priesthood.
May the Divine Holy Spirit pour upon you the
balsam of the anointment so that your Blessings may
give fruits.
Laying both hands on the head of the future Bishop,
he says:
I [NAME], in Ecclesia, Independent Bishop of the
Holy Gnostic Ecclesia, create, ordain and consecrate
you, Independent Bishop of the Holy Gnostic
Ecclesia, with the name of Tau …………….
And I transmit you the following Apostolic
Successions, from Saint Peter to the present day:
He enumerates the Successions, and then he says:
Stand up, Tau [NAME], and do not crawl any longer
in the plans of the manifestation.
Neophyte
He stands up and kneels down, with the Palms of the
hands turned upwards.
Officiant
117
He makes three crosses with a circle in both hands
with consecrated oil, saying:
May these hands be consecrated and sanctified for
the Craft and the Work of the Order of the
Hierophany.
Officiant
Making the cross on the heart of the Neophyte, he
says:
May the Blessing of the Father flood your heart, so
that everything you bless and sanctify may be
blessed and sanctify.
Officiant
He brings together the hands of the Neophyte and
ties them with a stripe of white, consecrated linen.
He makes the personal Prayer for the consecration
of the material:
He blesses the Crozier
ADJUTORIUM NOSTRUM IN NOMINE DOMINI,M
QUE FECIT CAELUM ET TERRAM.
DOMINE, EXAUDI ORATIONEM MEAM.
ET CLAMOR MEUS AD TE VENIAT.
Oh Eternal, blesses and consecrates the Crozier, so
that wherever it is used, the hostiles powers to men
disappear and have not again the power to disturb
118
the rightful peace
The Officiant blesses the Ring.
Let us, we beeseche Thee Lord, that in Your Holy
name we bless this ring so that it become a powerful
armor against all the forces unleashed against it in
the underworld. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen!
May [NOMBRE], who will take it, keep firm in your
Holy Will, may he lives and ages in your Love and
rest, finally, in your Peace.
Deign, Lord, send your Holy Spirit upon this ring,
and hed your holy blessing on it.
The Officiant blesses the Mitre.
Bless and approve. Lord, this Mitre, in order to be
helpful for [NAME], to the greather glory of your
holy name. Amen.
119
Then, he withdraws the white linen stripe that ties
the hands of the Neophyte.
Officiant
He gives the Crozier to the Neophyte, who takes it
with his left hand, and says:
Receive the Crozier, the symbol of the Power and of
the Strength for your protection and the one of your
faithful, because you shall teach the flock of the
Holy Ecclesia.
Officiant
He puts the Ring in the middle finger of the right
hand of the New Bishop, saying:
Receive this Ring, as a symbol of Light and Fidelity
to the Holy Ecclesia.
He puts the Mitre on the head of the new Bishop,
saying:
Receive this Mitre, the symbol of the inner Glow of
your spirit, which has been granted to you by the
grace of the Divinity.
When consecration has been completed, everyone
stands and it end with the mass.
