The Ritual

After everything has been set up, the first step is to calm yourself for a few moments with your eyes closed. Ideally, the ritual should take place in the dark, with no light but the lamps/candles. At this time, take in the smell of the incense and the sense of anticipation filling the room.

Next, open your eyes and recite a prayer to the Spirit. Wait a moment in silence. Then, unveil the sigil and gaze upon it. At this time you can recite the prayer again and wait, or recite the name of the Spirit with the beads, or use the abstract mantra. Do so until the Spirit comes.

Once the Spirit arrives, you can simply commune with her, ask her questions or make requests. When the time is right, bid the Spirit to depart.

Afterwards

Take a few moments to reflect on the ritual. Then, slowly and mindfully, place the sigil in its cloth, snuff out the incense, then the candles and then the lamps. Then put everything away. You can write about your feelings and experiences in your magickal journal for later reflection, also.

For each form of Bastet I have listed the name, the sigil, the planet, the use, the time, the candles/lamps, and the numbers.

The planetary or astrological correspondence of the particular manifestation of Bast. It is used to focus the ritual to a particular planetary energy. As Bast is a Solar Spirit primarily, it gives lights to all planets, so can manifest through them, also. This is similar to how a Mercurial Spirit may operate, although a Mercurial Spirit couples with another planet when it utilizes its force.

Then I list the use, or how the particular sigil and ritual may be used if one wants to cause direct effects to occur. It is, of course, not necessary to summon Bast with any use or gain in mind at all, but if you do these are some general, harmless ways of using the planets as manifestations of Bast.

The times, candle/lamp colors, and sacrifices are all culled from looking at their planetary correspondences. You can try the rituals at different times, but I would recommend trying them on the timeframes given here to see for yourself if there is any difference in the manifestation.

If after many attempts, the spirit does not come, a degree of ascetic preparation may be in order. Magick can be easy to do if you put forth the effort to learn it, but this does not necessarily mean that your magick will be deep. American-style Capitalism likes to instill in everyone the idea of getting everything as quickly as possible without giving anything up for it, but this is simply not how human society's have lived except in Post-Industrial, Westernized and Corporate-controlled cultures. To sit in silence for an hour, to go through a day or two of fasting can be quite beneficial. When you deny yourself and give things up for the sake of an encounter with a spirit, it will not only put you
