The Call of St Cyprian

Allow me to be a bit of a hipster here and say that I was into St Cyprian before he was cool 🙂 In fact in 2006 I wrote a prayer in his honor and posted it to my Live Journal. Seven years later and I still love St Cyprian.

Yesterday I completed the Novena to St Cyprian and today I celebrate his feast day with more extensive offerings, charitable work, and contemplation of his mysteries. Over the past nine days he has revealed much about himself, his connection to other spirits, his spells and workings, and some very useful personal advice. Most of what he communicated is private and some of it has been shared with other people doing the Cyprian work. I do however want to share a prayer.

First, A SORCERER’S PRAYER TO ST. CYPRIAN

In the name of the great and mighty power of God I invoke the sublime influence of St. Cyprian, in Christ Jesus. I ask that you be my mentor and my master by virtue of the grace bestowed upon you by God omnipotent who was, who is, and who will ever be.

You learned to control storms on Mt Olympus, the casting of enchantment and illusion in Argos, the mysteries of the witches craft at Taurapolis, necromancy among the graves of Sparta, and incantations in Memphis. Finally in Antioch, drawn by power, you found grace of Christ.

Oh Holy Cyprian, you who equally partakes of the Mass and the Sabbat, bless my efforts to follow you in your path. You who commingled with angels, devils, and earthly spirits, grant the power to command the spirits as you did, and as Solomon and Manasses did before you.

I thank you Lord for the many gifts of nature and grace with which you enriched the spiritual treasure house of your most faithful servant St. Cyprian. I thank you, my protector, for the special favors I have received by your powerful intercession.

Oh Cyprian Holy Thaumaturge : Saint and Sorcerer, Martyr and Magus, bless me. Take my prayers and spells and make them your own. When the Lord hears them he will not ignore them, they will cease to be my words, but yours.

Amen

Tonight was the first night I had worked with the blessed Saint in any way more involved than lighting a candle and leaving out a cup of water to him on my communal altar. I incorporated this prayer into my nightly rituals.
It was transforming. Speaking as a Christian magician, even though I have long since left my family’s ancestral Baptist and Pentecostal denominations for the more ritualistic Episcopalianism, I am never the less forced to fall back on the language of my Great-Grandfather’s preaching: I felt the Holy Spirit move in me. I truly felt the presence of God, and of the Saint, and I felt the assurance that the Saint was sympathetic to my petitions, and would quickly ferry them to the LORD; I felt also the assurance that they would be listened to.
Thank you very much for posting this, Jason.

I am new to magic and have recently began to ask Saint Cyprian to assist me and to allow me to be his student. I was doing further research and came upon this prayer and with your permission i would love to incorporate it into my daily prayer to the Saint. I was moved by the words and I believe sincerely that it will aid me in making a connection. Thank you very much for this post, praying to him was difficult for me as I was worried about not reaching him.

I keep getting drawn back to this post. As someone who follows both a classical Gnostic as well as pagan spiritual paths, and does Graeco-Egyptian magical work, this line from the prayer you shared really resonates with me: “Oh Holy Cyprian, you who equally partakes of the Mass and the Sabbat, bless my efforts to follow you in your path.”

I’m thinking more and more that St. Cyprian is someone I need to be working with.

I did an icon to Saint Cyprian and Justina a while ago. And, as of today, I’ve now set it to a Creative Commons license, so it should be downloadable. It’s hardly perfect, but I hope that it’s a useful place for people who need to begin, and want a visual tool to go along with the prayer.

Greetings! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your internet site mobile friendly? My internet site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that may well be able to correct this concern. Should you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
