Cartouche

Divine Names of Power

Lady Isis initiates you now into Her special mysteries – the use of sacred intonations. The words that you speak are rapidly gaining power. To benefit from this power rather than be undermined or held back by it, practice thoughtful speech and clear your heart of old “unforgiveness” which can poison your words unintentionally. As your heart grows in purity, you will be able to speak with spiritual authority and what you speak of will come into being more swiftly and obviously. Isis is initiating you as a master healer in Her sacred tradition of Divine Names of Power.

You are being initiated into the Divine Healing Tradition of Isis herself. Isis works through Divine Names of Power. These are sacred words of strength, magick and power to create healing from a place of compassion and devotion to Love. She honors that which is worthy of protection and uses endless determination, combined with Her skill of speaking words of power, to cause life to thrive and that which is not worthy of cultivation, which would not serve life, to dissipate and decline.

Divine Names of Power are the mantras, sounds and names of the Divine, in all traditions. Isis will bring you Her name to begin, offered to you as a sacred gift to be worked with as a mantra of protection, of feminine grace and divinity, and healing. You can use Her name as She instructs you to do so in the Ritual below. a word, phrase or mantra that is given through initiation is like a light bulb that has been plugged into a lamp. The initiation switched the power on, and the use of the word by the Initiate is like the lamp shining its light.

If you have been interested in using your voice in some way – for writing, singing, healing, speaking or becoming a spokesperson for a particular cause that resonates with your heart, this Oracle of the Cartouche brings guidance that Lady Isis honors your desire, encourages you to explore and shall protect your process.

If you have drawn this Oracle of the Cartouche along with the Ancient Power Mysteries, you are guided to more seriously explore sound, healing and mantra as part of your own path, and if you are a healer, you are strongly encouraged to explore these healing arts as a way to unfold your own spiritual talents and perhaps incorporate these techniques into your healing practice in a way that feels true for you.

The Oracle of the Cartouche reminds you that invoking the power of speech and word for your strength, protection and spiritual growth will work effectively for you. Sometimes thinking and saying “no” is the most powerful word you can say to honor personal choice and create a safe boundary for yourself. Sometimes affirming in thought and speech, “I choose to see the Divine within this person, place or situation” is another way to cut through drama and use the power of word in thought and spoken expression, to create powerful healing. Choose to use your words with wisdom and pure intention, keeping in mind that with more power comes more karmic responsibility and therefore always surrendering to the greater good in unconditional love is a good idea. With this approach, your gift will grow strong and its effect – intentional and unintentional – will be as spiritually clean and helpful as possible. You will become a greater force of love, peace and power on this planet.

The Oracle of the Cartouche also suggests that you discern the effect upon you of the company you are keeping energetically and physically. Sometimes the thoughts and words of others – their vibration – can enhance you or leave you feeling depleted or drained. If you are drawn into negative speaking in order to “bond” or “fit in” with others, you are asked if it is worth it for the effect it has on your own vibration. You can use words of power to cleanse any cords or contracts that would lower your vibration into a fearful place, in order to come back to love, to help you stay true to yourself and perhaps even inspire others to think or speak more positively when they are around you, not from a position of judgment of another’s choices but from a position of wisdom, realizing the effects of such choices.

Ritual of the Cartouche

Say the Incantation below.

I call upon Isis who loves me unconditionally

Teach me to speak powerfully

From a place of love and peace sublime

Beyond time and space my words will shine

Like diamonds with beauty and strength immense

They bring Divine Truth and cut through pretence

Beloved Isis, Initiate me into your words of power

Your healing grace descends upon me as a heavenly shower

Close your eyes and imagine that you see into your own heart, a space of light opening up.

within this space of light you see beautiful winged Isis in a blue Robe of Initiation, holding a cartouche, a long tablet made of precious stones and metals with sacred symbols inscribed. Upon Her brow there is a vulture headdress, and over Her head the hood of the robe rests. She lifts Her left arm, resting the cartouche against Her body and with Her right arm, She gestures toward it.

You understand that She is motioning for you to reach out with your right hand and touch the tablet, which you do.

The Cartouche becomes pure energy, vibrating and pulsing with life. New symbols appear which are the gift of a Divine Name of Power especially for you. The symbols carry vibration and they represent the actual sound of your sacred word from beloved Isis.

She motions to you to reach forward and touch the tablet with your left hand, which you do, and you feel love, light and power from the Cartouche, and the vibration of the symbols themselves, entering your body through your left hand.

As this happens, Lady Isis leans over and whispers the sacred word, Her gift to you, now.

In your ear you hear, “Isis! Auset!” and She may or may not whisper another word or name as well.

Whatever is whispered by the Lady into your ear at this time is the sacred word of protection and healing for you now.

Let the energy from your arm and ear penetrate your entire body as unconditional love, wisdom, light and Divine Power. Breathe in and out and when you are ready, say, “Thank you for this gift beloved Lady, may I use it with wisdom and mercy. So be it!”

When you are ready, just open your eyes.

Grace of Sweet Lady Isis

Cleanse me now of karmic crisis

Of words said in haste, their effect and cause

Help the spiritual momentum now pause

Negative repercussions noe cease

All involved are filled with peace

Your Names of Power end the pain

Creating new webs of light and healing

Divine Unconditional Love now revealing
