Found whilst browsing the web, so shared in the hopes of some other cybermagician out there will view it with appreciation:
A computer ritual, suitable to do before undertaking a complex
programming task, debugging or connecting to Internet. Instead of
a dagger, a calculator can be used, and a computer or terminal
should be used as an altar.
Draw the CompSci Cross:
Stand before the altar. Point above the head and intone: "To Thee:".
Visualise a shining light above you, sending down a perfect line of
light.
Point to the floor and intone: "The Data". The line continues down,
and develops regular markings.
Point to the right and intone: "The Code". A shining line extends to
the right.
Point to the left and intone: "The Communications". The line extends
to the left, and develops regular markings.
Cross the hands and intone: "For Ever. Amen". A line appears
perpendicular to the others. Together they form a co-ordinate
system with you in origin, dividing space into a faint green grid.
Drawing the Diagrams:
Go to the east and draw a horizontal digram (a line) from left to
right and intone: "von Neumann". Draw a shining line straight south
and then west, forming a corner (aligned with the co-ordinate
system).
Go to the south and draw a vertical digram upwards and intone:
"Turing". Continue the line west and north.
Go to the west and draw a vertical digram downwards and intone:
"Ada Lovelace". Continue the line north and east.
Go to the north and draw a horizontal digram from right to left and
intone: "Babbage". Continue the line east and south, so that it forms
an unbroken square around the temple. Visualise how it projects
two copies, one on the floor and one in the air, so that the space
enclosed is a perfect cube. Two other squares, perpendicular to the
first appear and interlock to form a strong cube with each face
divided into four squares, alternating black and white (total 24
squares, which correspond to the 24 permutations of
Tetragrammaton)
The Invocation of the 2^2 Archangels:
Stand in origin, with your arms extended.
In the East, visualise Raphael standing, holding a LISP expression
and surrounded by dancing code. Say: "Before me: Raphael!"
In the West, visualise Gabriel standing, holding a string of ones and
zeros and surrounded by flowing data and graphics. Say: "Behind
me Gabriel!".
In the South, visualise Michael standing, holding a debugger
window and surrounded by multicoloured messages. Say: "To my
right Michael!".
In the North, visualise Uriel standing, holding a binary tree and
surrounded by arrays. Say "To my left Uriel!".
Intone: "Around me flames the ones and zeros, and in the column
shines the byte!" Visualise how the lines flare up, and you stand
inside a pillar of eight bits quickly counting up from 0 to 255.
Repeat the CompSci cross.
