- 0. A, the heart of IAO, dwelleth in ecstasy in the secret place of the
- thunders. Between Asar and Asi he abideth in joy.
-
- 1. The lightnings increased and the Lord Tahuti stood forth. The Voice
- came from the Silence. Then the One ran and returned.
-
- 2. Now hath Nuit veiled herself, that she may open the gate of her sister.
-
- 3. The Virgin of God is enthroned upon an oyster-shell; she is like a
- pearl, and seeketh Seventy to her Four. In her heart is Hadit the invisible
- glory.
-
- 4. Now riseth Ra-Hoor-Khuit, and dominion is established in the Star of the
- Flame.
-
- 5. Also is the Star of the Flame exalted, bringing benediction to the
- universe.
-
- 6. Here then beneath the winged Eros is youth, delighting in the one and
- the other.
-
- 7. He is Asar between Asi and Nepthi; he cometh forth from the veil.
-
- He rideth upon the chariot of eternity; the white and the black are
- harnessed to his car. Therefore he reflecteth the Fool, and the sevenfold
- veil is reveiled.
-
- 8. Also came forth mother Earth with her lion, even Sekhet, the lady of
- Asi.
-
- 9. Also the Priest veiled himself, lest his glory be profaned, lest his
- word be lost in the multitude.
-
- 10. Now then the Father of all issued as a mighty wheel; the Sphinx, and the
- dog-headed god, and Typhon, were bound on his circumference.
-
- 11. Also the lady Maat with her feather and her sword abode to judge the
- righteous.
-
- For Fate was already established.
-
- 12. Then the holy one appeared in the great water of the North; as a golden
- dawn did he appear, bringing benediction to the fallen universe.
-
- 13. Also Asar was hidden in Amennti; and the Lords of Time swept over him
- with the sickle of death.
-
- 14. And a mighty angel appeared as a woman, pouring vials of woe upon the
- flames, lighting the pure stream with her brand of cursing. And the iniquity
- was very great.
-
- 15. Then the Lord Khem arose, He who is holy among the highest, and set up
- his crowned staff for to redeem the universe.
- 16. He smote the towers of wailing; he brake them in pieces in the fire of
- his anger, so that he alone did escape from the ruin thereof.
-
- 17. Transformed, the holy virgin appeared as a fluidic fire, making her
- beauty into a thunderbolt.
-
- 18. By her spells she invoked the Scarab, the Lord Kheph-Ra, so that the
- waters were cloven and the illusion of the towers was destroyed.
-
- 19. Then the sun did appear unclouded, and the mouth of Asi was on the mouth
- of Asar.
-
- 20. Then also the Pyramid was builded so that the Initiation might be
- complete.
-
- 21. And in the heart of the Sphinx danced the Lord Adonai, in His garlands of
- roses and pearls making glad the concourse of things; yea, making glad the
- concourse of things.
