Basic Rite To Flereous The Alter must face the South most point of the ritual chamber. A candle is set at each elemental point. The elemental demons are invoked by use of the enns with the dagger. Leviathan first and working clockwise leaving Flereous for last. An incense of sandalwood and sage invokes atmosphere. Carrying a candle in one hand (doesn't matter which) approach each point and kneel reciting the enn for Flereous and lighting the candle. Finally, invite the fifth element from the center of the ritual space. Kneel at the alter in prayer: "We pray thee Flereous, bestow upon us the strength of your design. Allow our actions to be swift and unfailing. Be present that our enemies will not conquer us. We are as flames burning brightly in your radiance. We humbly pay homage to thee in our offer of incense and fire that you may know our respect for your vast strength. We offer requests of vengence and love that we may employ your creation to do so. Hail Flereous. Lord and Master of Fire." The comes the typical ritual body in which requests of vengence and love are burned within the alter or primary ritual space fire. (i.e. a bowl, incense burner, or bonfire.) Some sects choose to sing hymns and go into longer durations of prayer before the ritual closing. The ritual is closed as thus: "Hail Flereous. Lord and Master of Fire. We thank thee for being present at our ritual. We bid you, go in peace." Close the ritual as normal. If practicing solitary - change all "we" to "I" Also - the prayer can be done with a single candle if you lack the space, time, or supplies to do a drawn out ritual.
