Daily Planetary Practice Invocations (Christopher Warnock)

Daily Planetary Practice Invocations (Christopher Warnock)


" Here is a Basic Daily Planetary Practice Invocation. This contains invocations for all 7 planets that I adapted from Picatrix Book III, chapter 7 which are the Harranian Sabian planetary invocations. This uses the Arabic transliteration of planetary names from the Arabic Picatrix. These names would not, for the most part, have been in Arabic, but the Arabic transliterations are likely closer to the originals. While the Arabic planetary names are pretty standard Arabic and you could Google search the proper pronunciation, for many of the names we have no idea how they were pronounced and must simply do our best in the knowledge that the celestial spirits are fairly forgiving of mistakes we might make."

The Sun


O Cause of Causes, you who are sanctified and made holy with unending rule from eternity, I ask you that you listen to me and grant to me recognition, kind reception, love, fame and success, help us to be happy, healthy and safe.

Welcome, you who bring forth the light and life of the world. I call you by all your names: Arabic, Shams; in Latin, Sol; in Chaldean, Maher; in Persian, Mihr; in Roman, Helios; in Indian, Aras.

O light and shine of the world, you at the center of all, who give life to the world of coming forth and of passing away and who takes care of its growth,

O you, who stand on exalted places, O you who hold the highest position: I ask you, that you listen to me and grant to me recognition, kind reception, love, fame and success, help us to be happy, healthy and safe, for you are master and king of the planets, they who receive and let shine their light and shining from you.

I ask you, O guide of the all, take pity on me and my prayer and humble request.

Hail unto you, O Sun, you happy lord, hot, dry, shining, spending light, sending rays, bright, understanding, exalted, noble, you king, who gather all beauty unto yourself, pure, wise, you who gather together goods,

You who hold the reins of the six, the noble planets, so that they let themselves be guided by you, you who rule over them, that they submit to you; when they are far from you they return to you, when they are near you they are burned up by your rays and go down,

And they receive from you light and power and from your shining they shine. Thus you are above them all, you are the king and they the servants, you bring good fortune when you form aspects, and you bring misfortune when you stand in conjunction; no one can recognize your excellence completely, nor completely understand your nobility.

Thanks be unto you, O Sun!

Hail to you oh, Goddess, the Moon, blessed lady, fortunate, cold and moist, temperate and beautiful. Of all the planets you are the head and key, your movement is smooth, you have shining light, lady of happiness and joy, of good words, of good fame, of the power to bless.

You are the lover of law and ponder the things of the world, and your thought is subtle. You love joyful singing and enjoy joking and love, you are the lady of ambassadors and messages and of the revealing of secrets. You are high and noble, you are nearer to us than the other planets, you are more powerful than all of them and bright; you bring good and evil, you connect the planets to one another, you transfer their light, you control everything through your goodness.

And everything in the world is adorned by your ornament and by your judgment all is judged. You begin all things, you are their end. You above all planets have nobility and honor. And in this way I call upon you.

I conjure you by Celan and Silija’il, who are the angels God has set over you to complete your effects, have mercy on me and receive my humble petition, obey with obedience to our high lord, look with favor on us, help us to be successful, and to be happy, healthy and safe.

I invoke you by all your names; in Arabic, Qamar; in Latin, Luna; in Persian, Mah; in Greek, Sam’a’il; in Indian, Suma; in Roman, Selene and receive in this place my petition.

Thanks be unto you, O Moon!
