Phaedra's Four Adorations

Morning Adoration:

Hail unto Thee who are Helios in Thy rising
Even unto Thee who art Helios in Thy strength
Who travellest over the heavens in Thy chariot
At the uprising of the Sun.
Luciferus standeth in his splendor before Thy prow
And Hesperos abideth in Thy eclipse.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of the Night!

Noon Adoration:

Hail unto Thee who art Apollo in Thy triumphing
Even unto Thee who art Apollo in Thy beauty
Who travellest over the heavens in Thy chariot
At the midcourse of the Sun.
Luciferus standeth in his splendor before Thy prow
And Hesperos abideth in Thy eclipse.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of the Morning!

Evening Adoration:

Hail unto Thee who art Hyperion in Thy setting
Even unto Thee who art Hyperion in Thy grace
Who travellest over the heavens in Thy chariot
At the setting of the Sun.
Hesperos stands in splendor before Thy prow
And Luciferus abideth in Thy eclipse.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of the Day!

Midnight Adoration:

Hail unto Thee who art Sol in Thy hiding
Even unto Thee who art Sol in Thy silence.
Who travellest over the heavens in Thy chariot
At the midnight hour of the Sun.
Hesperos Standeth in his splendor before Thy prow
And Luciferus abideth in Thy eclipse.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of the Evening!

Phaedra's Notes:

I don’t know who the original author is, I first read about the Adorations in Israel Regardie’s One Year Manual. The original looks like this:

Hail unto Thee who art Ra in Thy rising,
Even unto Thee who art Ra in Thy strength,
Who travellest over the heavens in Thy barque
At the uprising of the Sun.
Tahuti standeth in His splendor before Thy prow
And Ra-Hoor abideth at the helm.
Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of the Night!

The other adorations follow with the name of the God changing to Hathor, Tum, and Khepra. The idea behind it is that since the sun is the symbol of God, we should offer worship to the sun in each of its four stations in the sky. By doing this, we are put in touch with God and can better see and sense him in the elements and the world around us. I thought it was a good idea because I had such a hard time working with the Masculine Divine and needed something that would help me to understand him better.

However, I didn’t really know the Egyptian deities being used and since I was supposed to be worshipping a sun god, I went with ones I did know – Greek Sun Gods. They don’t ride through the sky in a ship, so I changed it to a chariot and I also changed the name of the heralds to Luciferus and Hesperos… alternative forms of Lucifer. These two showed up in Greek Mythology as the Morning and Evening stars, which seemed fitting as attendants for the sun.

I rarely did all four every day; work and life often conspire to get in the way. I did them as often as I could on a daily basis. Once I was more in tune with God I now use them whenever I need to feel closer to him or, on occasion, as invocations. I doubt my versions will be useful to anyone but me, but you get the idea and it would be simple enough to switch it to deities that resonate with you.
