Commentary on the Star Ruby

For those of you familiar with this blog, you'll likely know that I am a huge proponent of the Lesser Rituals of the Pentagram and their myriad of non-appropriative variants.

Today I want to talk about one of these variants, written by none other than Aleister Crowley himself. Though Star Ruby isn't strictly a variant so much as it is a replacement, I still think there's a lot to be said for the structure and components of the ritual in comparison to the LRP.

I don't want to take up too much space talking about the technical performance of the ritual. Instead, I highly recommend reading through this annotated version by Sabazius and having it open while reading this post.

In addition, if you aren't versed in the LRP I suggest this abridged version on Thelemapedia. It's very short, but it's the only online source I found with mostly accurate information and no excess fluff. If you want a detailed version, please consult Donald Kraig's Modern Magick or the Ciceros' Essential Golden Dawn.

Alright. Let's set aside Crowley's writings on the subject for a moment. As amazing as they are, they're often too dense to effectively parse in a short blog post. Instead, I want to compare the material, somatic, and verbal components of these rituals.

Let's start with the material components. In the LRP, you traditionally use either your hand, a dagger, or a wand. In the Thelemic tradition, there is evidence for a rose-headed wand, but I'm not familiar enough to make a comment. So in either case, you can perform the ritual with no material components save for your bare hands.

Okay, with the material components out of the way let's move to the somatic ones. These movements are largely the same as the LRP in some respects, and not even close in others. Let's first take a look at the structure of Star Ruby:

The First Cross

The Pentagrams

The Call

The Final Cross

It looks exactly the same as the LRP. And the actual movements of the First and Final Crosses are exactly the same. The movements are also nearly identical during the Call. It's the Pentagrams that differ the most from the LRP.

Let's take a look at how they differ exactly:

The LRP uses blue pentagrams; Star Ruby uses red.

The LRP moves clockwise around the space; Star Ruby moves counterclockwise.

The LRP has the magician physically draw the pentagrams; Star Ruby has the magician imagine them on the forehead before pushing outward into its position.

The LRP does not have any bridging movements between the Pentagrams and the Call; Star Ruby uses the N.O.X. signs.

Okay, neat. The only things left to cover are the verbal components. So how do they stack up?

In fact, the verbal components are by far the greatest divergence from the LRP. In the LRP, Judeo-Christian names for God are used while drawing the pentagrams. In addition, Hebrew archangels are invoked at the elemental quarters.

This is very different from Star Ruby. Instead of using Judeo-Christian terminology, Crowley opted for Graeco-Egyptian, Neoplatonic, and Thelemic invocations instead. For example, Star Ruby invokes spirits from the Chaldean Oracles of Zoroaster in its elemental quarters.

Okay, great. So we've compared the two rituals. Now what? So what?

Setting aside the Kabbalistic symbolism that Crowley worked into Star Ruby (which I purposely did not cover), it's still a very solid ritual that appeals to non-Judeo-Christian magicians that wish to try out a daily magical ritual besides the LRP.

It's also a great basis to compare against other rituals, like the AODA's Sphere of Protection. As you compare the rituals yourself, you'll find common structures and themes that will help you develop your own daily practice. And really that's the goal--to create something uniquely yours.

As always, stay safe. Blessed be~

Amity's Crystal & Ring

So I decided to try and find engagement rings that represent the growth and wants of the gang. Amity's first!

At first, I thought star ruby was a good choice. It is good for healing from past traumatic experiences and matches Amity's color pallet beautifully. However, in jewelry, I think it looks too much like the necklace that Odalia controlled Amity with.

Therefore, I kept looking and I found Iolite.

– "Helpful for abuse/trauma survivors – Gives insight & guidance – Helps to develop a positive outlook/perspective – Helps when making decisions"

One of the websites I looked saw literally says: "Use Iolite if family members have unrealistic expectations of you, or if your career path was chosen for you because of family connections. As an amulet, Iolite brings travelers safely home." All in all, I think it hits home on Amity in many aspects. For the ring band, I think moon/star imagery is likely since its part of her outfit so often. Here are some of the bands I could see her having.

The last one is not an iolite gemstone but the band is really beautiful.

Lil sketches of soft KazuScara in Steven Universe AU *sobbing* 🤧💕💕

Zuzu doesn’t change much from the original, he’s a Star Ruby (which is very pretty and rare, and light reflects on it in a star-like shape) and I really like the fact that his hair kind of match the shape of a star, his skin is red so his white hair resemble the star light pretty nicely, in short HE’S ADORABLE 😭, and his hair being star shaped also mean he’d look good in the Crystals Gems, HE WOULD FIT SO WELL IN THE CRYSTAL GEMS *sobbing loudly*

Kuni is an aquamarine because the moment i saw the aquamarine in the cartoon I immediately thought of him💀 they’re identical, facial expressions, attitude, haircut,, they’re mini as well, meaning they’re short but an aquamarine is especially little. I don’t really like aquamarine in the series (except for her design that i find cute) because she’s mean but Kunikuzushi Aquamarine is different! I mean yes he can be a meanie when he wants and doesn’t like other beings anymore and doesn’t trust them ecc ecc but he has a heart too, he certainly has it for Zuzu.

I don’t know their lore in the Steven Universe Au atm but i’ll think of something, I love Steven universe and the gems so i had to do this. ALSO!!! Do you know the song “No matter what” from the moovie?? Ok now think of that song but it’s Star Ruby (Kazuha) and Aquamarine (Kuni) who sing it!! IMMA CRY

Fr

(Plus their gems are respectively on Zuzu’s left hand (on the back) and Kuni’s back of the neck, beginning of his back(?) where Raiden Ei has the electro symbol, and I headcanon that Scara has it as well)

Update: they’re adorable

Oc Tournament Round 1

Tiger's Eye:

-Defective quartz soldier

-Used to take her job super seriously but relaxed after living on an abandoned colony

-LOVES the thrill she gets from fighting

-Gets pretty protective of those close to her

Star Ruby:

-Is still a ruby, but a higher rank of ruby (so she gets more respect)

-Was abandoned before she emerged and knows nothing about Homeworld

-Acts very childish and naive

-Has a kind heart despite siding with bad guys
