Baptism by Fire
The rite of baptism in the Covenant of the Sacred Flame is to rekindle the flames and to maintain the connected gnosis. This can be done nightly to open space for other work or just to reconnect. I personally have had days where I had emotional experiences that dimmed my light. I would perform this rite and it not only uplifted my spirit energetically, but also the deities gave me counsel. By carrying their fire, we awaken their gnosis in our world and honor them. So, as we honor them, they honor us. It is in this respect that this rite is performed.
Praxis Part 1: Flaming Trident Sigil
The flaming trident will be used as a sigil to open the gates to the nightside. Created by Asenath Mason and the Temple of the Ascending Flame. The sigil is a key in many practices in the Draconian workings.
Draw or paint a sigil of the Flaming trident on paper or canvas. Canvas is preferred for continual work.
