Sitting in meditation after having performed the banishing rituals of the pentagram and hexagram, with some airy or lunar incense burning on the charcoal, imagine yourself floating in the darkness. Let your breathing be deep, slow and stready. Let yourself relax as much as possible.
Let yourself float gently downward, after a short while imagining a light far below you. As you sink further and further towards the light, let it expand into a deep violet and indigo floor. As your feet touch the floor, feel the coolness of the tiles on your soles. Let the Temple of Yesod form around you.
Temple of Yesod
The temple is round with silver walls. The floor is inlaid with tiles of deep violet and indigo. Images of the moon in her phases are set around the floor. Before you in the East, the moon is full, behind you in the West it is new, a black disc of ebony. To your right the moon is half full waxing, to your left it is half full waning. Between the four lunar phases are images of the moon in gradual states of waxing and waning.
In the center of the temple is an altar of white marble, and atop it is sitting a silver dish from which rises a flame. In that flame you can sense the life force shining brightly. On either side of the altar stands a pillar, white on the right, black on the left. Above you, from a ceiling of deep blue, hangs nine silver lamps.
There are four violet doors set within the round walls of the temple. One behind you, bearing an image of the Hebrew letter Tau. One in the East with the letter Samekh, one in the NorthEast with the letter Resh, and one in the SouthEast with the letter Tzaddi.
Let yourself just sit in the temple for a short while, absorbing the Lunar energy. Mentally chant SHADDAI EL CHAI a few times.
Once you are comfortable with the temple and have meditated within it several times, and after the image of the temple comes naturally and easily, you may begin the following exercises. Do only one of the following per meditation. You may wish to do a different exercise every time, or to work with each one for a specified period of time as appropriate.
Visualize the lunar sphere in the state of fullness it currently embodies above the altar, shining with pale yellowish-white light. Mentally (or physically) chanting SHADDAI EL CHAI numerous times, endeavor to feel as much as possible the lunar influence. Do this at various times, when the moon is full, waxing, waning and new.
Call forth Gabriel, in his role as the Archangel of Yesod, to the temple. Mentally intone the Archangel’s name numerous times. Gabriel can appear as female or male, dressed in purple robes with yellow trim with large white wings unfolded behind his or her body. Gabriel’s eyes are sea green and shine with ancient wisdom and knowing. About him or her is the scent and sound of the sea.
Call forth the Kerubim or Strong Ones, the Choir of Angels which are associated with Yesod. The Kerubim appear as winged sphinxs, each is a tetramorph, bearing the features of a bull, a man, an eagle and a lion. Of the Kerubim there are always four, and each carries a sword.
If you choose to call forth Gabriel or the Kerubim, ask them questions about their own natures, the nature of the Lunar sphere and/or Yesod, and ask for personal advice regarding your own spiritual development. After you’re finished communing with them, thank them and bid them to depart to their habitations in peace, with the blessings of SHADDAI EL CHAI.
Spend a little more time meditating in the Temple of Yesod, then let the temple fade around you. Bring yourself back to your physical body and record what you’ve experienced, then again perform the banishing rituals of the hexagram and pentagram.
