Invocation:
Divine Goddess Hathor, Universal Mother, Queen of the visible Heavens, Who weareth the sun upon Thy plumed Head, grant us Thy gifts of Joy and Strength and Love! For without Thee we are devoid of life, and live in a shadow world of dullness and despair.

Oracle:
You will never know my laughter and light unless you draw the veil from your own personality and allow the sun to shine forth! You protect yourselves from the Greater Sun without, because you still live within the scarab shell of the lesser self. And this is necessary for your growth in the childhood of the human race. For too great a light and heat would blind and destroy your frail being. But now at humanity's end, from the old race new humans are born who have escaped from the shell of isolation. At first this may lead to anger and bewilderment. The old safe world of ideas and separate ways gives place to sudden influx from the great outer spheres which have always been around you. You are like prisoners in a dungeon who are suddenly released! The light blinds you and you are afraid of puzzling scenes. Strange beings now present themselves to your sight and speak with alien tongues. Yet such a happening is as nothing compared with the shock when the imprisoned consciousness, delayed in ever-continuing self-talk, suddenly hears one voice speaking in the language of thought! The privacy of self seems violated by the thoughts and feelings of another.

There is no way in which you can escape the onslaught of new ideas and impressions, once the pylons that lead to the sun are opened. For the sun is our Heaven, yours and mine. Every dawn you see it rise and it culminates, and then it appears to leave you, sinking in the West. But in reality it is always there, awaiting you. For all of you are children of the sun. Your solar bodies art hidden in earthly flesh, as the sun is hidden by the moon's shadow during an eclipse. It is through your solar bodies of Light and Warmth that you hear not only the voices of those attuned to you on earth, but you also begin to receive words from the whole Company of Heaven! Your vision extends to seeing the divine form of myriad-coloured Deities, and your minds are enabled to understand their spiritual teachings.

Listen then for the voices of the Goddesses and Gods, and allow your vision to accept Their Presence. When the sun shines at day you do the works of earth: but when the outer sun is hidden in night, then is it time for your soul to awaken. The solar Spirit that shines in each of you and in all beings shine forth in glory. Pray to me at dusk and I will protect you with my loving arms. Call to me at dawn and you will be enabled to remember your sojourn in the solar Heaven with its Halls of Learning, its multitude of wondrous Beings, and its radiations of Light and Love and Truth.
