The Hidden Journal of John Dee Notes on the Ritual to Seal the Tear in Time

Location:

The ritual must take place in the crypt beneath the eastern end of Dunblane Cathedral. This site is a focal point of divine energy and is protected by Archangel Michael, as confirmed during the scrying session. The sacred ground will amplify the celestial alignment’s energy and stabilize the tear.

Materials:

A purified quartz disc, newly crafted and imbued with oils of sage, frankincense and cinnamon, must replace the shattered one. The quartz will act as the conduit to channel the celestial alignment’s energy into the Astral Synchronum.

Gold and silver filings mixed with blessed water to anoint the device and draw the Monas Hieroglyphica Sigil on the crypt floor. These elements symbolize the sun and moon, balancing the celestial forces.

Seven candles placed in alignment with the stars’ positions, corresponding to the sigil’s points, will maintain the flow of energy.

Astral Synchronum Preparation:

Calibrate the device according to the following settings:

Rotation: One full clockwise rotation followed by a half-counterclockwise turn.

Gears: Shift Gear 4 by two notches to the right to align with the planetary mechanisms.

Alignment Lever: Position Saturn’s sphere at 12 degrees east.

Wind the device six full turns before placing the quartz disc into position. The sixth turn aligns with the planetary spheres’ synchronization.

Ritual Sequence:

Begin the ritual exactly one hour after sunset when the stars begin to align. This timing ensures the celestial energy is at its peak.

Continuation of the Ritual Sequence:

Kelley is to recite the invocation to Archangel Michael, as dictated during the scrying session.

From the heaven, a silver thread

To mend the tear before it spreads

A gilded needle from heaven’s door

To stop the shifting, to stand restored

Reverse the damage, set it right

By the alignment of the heavens

And their guiding light

These words must be spoken with clarity and unwavering faith to summon the celestial energies required for the repair. The invocation will act as a bridge between the divine forces and the mortal realm, ensuring their cooperation.

As the invocation is spoken, Giordano will activate the Astral Synchronum.

The device must perform three complete rotations: two clockwise and one counterclockwise.

This motion mirrors the celestial cycle revealed in our calculations and represents the unspooling and reweaving of the fabric of time.

The Sealing Process:

As the light from the quartz intensifies, the sigil on the crypt floor will absorb the energy, connecting the tear to the celestial alignment. This energy will knit the tear back together, restoring the natural order.

Once the ritual concludes and the device ceases its movement, the Astral Synchronum must be dismantled without delay. Should it remain whole, it bears the power to split the veil of time, splintering the fabric of our reality into fragments beyond all knowing.
