To invoke something is to invite it into yourself for assistance in magickal workings.
Items required:
Visualization
Incense associated with your chosen planet
Instructions:
Planet invocation can be performed inside or outside
Using a star map or an app on your mobile device, locate your chosen planet in the sky
Light the incense
Face the direction of the planet and either stand or sit comfortably
With the palms of your hands facing the direction of the planet (either face up or face down, depending on it’s location in the northern or southern hemisphere), meditate on your intent
When you’ve reached a calm or even trance-like state of mind, recite one of the following incantations, whichever corresponds to your chosen planet and intent
I call upon the Moon, ruler of serenity, to aid me in my work
I call upon the Sun, ruler of nobility, to aid me in my work
I call upon Mercury, ruler of intellect, to aid me in my work
I call upon Venus, ruler of love, to aid me in my work
I call upon Mars, ruler of passion, to aid me in my work
I call upon Jupiter, ruler of prosperity, to aid me in my work
I call upon Saturn, ruler of chaos, to aid me in my work
I call upon Uranus, ruler of intuition, to aid me in my work
I call upon Neptune, ruler of the unconscious, to aid me in my work
I call upon Pluto, ruler of transformation, to aid me in my work
Continue to meditate on your intent, feeling the planet’s energy surrounding you and entering your body
Once you feel a warm, tingly feeling rush over you, you will be able to direct that energy into your magickal working
Let the incense burn while you’re performing your spell or ritual and be sure to supervise it until it burns out
Always remember to ground your energy or send it back into the cosmos when finished
Feel free to substitute the trait of the planet you’re invoking (i.e.serenity, nobility, intellect, love, passion, prosperity, chaos, intuition, unconscious, and transformation) for whatever you feel is appropriate for that planet.
