Hail! Asi! Hail, Hoor-Apep! Let
|
||
The Silence speech beget!
|
||
|
||
The Words against the Son of Night
|
||
Tahuti speaketh in the Light.
|
||
Knowledge and Power, twin Warriors, shake
|
||
The Invisible; They roll asunder
|
||
The Darkness; Matter shines, a Snake.
|
||
Sebek is smitten by the Thunder -
|
||
The Light breaks forth from Under.
|
||
|
||
O Thou, the Apex of the Plane,
|
||
With Ibis Head and Phoenix Wand
|
||
And Wings of Night! Whose Serpents strain
|
||
Their Bodies, bounding the Beyond.
|
||
Thou in the Light and in the Night
|
||
Art One, above Their moving might!
|
||
|
||
The Lustral Water! Smite thy Flood
|
||
Through me -Lymph, Marrow and Blood!
|
||
|
||
The Fire Informing! Let the Oil
|
||
Balance, assain, assoil!
|
||
|
||
So Life takes Fire from Death, and runs
|
||
Whirling amid the Suns.
|
||
Hail, Asi! Pace the Path, bind on
|
||
The Girdle of the Starry One!
|
||
|
||
Homage to Thee, Lord of the Word!
|
||
Lord of the Silence, Homage to Thee!
|
||
Lord, we adore Thee, still and stirred
|
||
Beyond Infinity.
|
||
|
||
[MtzThBtzM in Hebrew]
|
||
For from the Silence of the Wand
|
||
Unto the Speaking of the Sword,
|
||
And back again to the Beyond,
|
||
This is the Toil and the Reward.
|
||
This is the Path of [HVA in Hebrew] -Ho!
|
||
This is the Path of [IAO in Greek].
|
||
|
||
Hail Asi! Hail, Thou Wanded Wheel!
|
||
Alpha and Delta kissed and came
|
||
For Five that feed the Flame.
|
||
|
||
Hail, Hoor-Apep! Thou Sword of Steel!
|
||
Alpha and Delta and Epsilon
|
||
Met in the Shadow of the Pylon
|
||
And in Iota did proclaim
|
||
That tenfold core and crown of flame.
|
||
Hail, Hoor-Apep! Unspoken Name!
|
||
I know not Who I am; I know not Whence I came;
|
||
I know not Whither I go; I seek -but What I do not know!
|
||
I am blind and bound; but I have heard one Cry
|
||
Ring through Eternity; Arise and follow Me!
|
||
|
||
Asar Un-nefer! I invoke
|
||
The Fourfold Horror of the Smoke.
|
||
Unloose the Pit! by the dread Word
|
||
Of Power -that Set-Typhon hath heard -
|
||
SAZAZ SAZAZ ANDATSAN SAZAZ*
|
||
|
||
The Fear of Darkness and of Death.
|
||
The Fear of Water and of Fire.
|
||
The Fear o' the Chasm and the Chain
|
||
The Fear of Hell and the dead Breath.
|
||
The Fear of Him, the Demon dire
|
||
That on the Threshold of the Inane
|
||
Stands with His Dragon Fear to slay
|
||
The Pilgrim of the Way.
|
||
Thus I pass by with Force and Care,
|
||
Advance with Fortitude and Wit,
|
||
In the straight Path, or else Their Snare
|
||
Were surely Infinite.
|
||
|
||
Asar! Who clutches at my Throat?
|

Who pins me down? Who stabs my Heart?

Thus I pass by with Force and Care,
|
||
Advance with Fortitude and Wit,
|

In the straight Path, or else Their Snare
|
||
Were surely Infinite.
|
||
The Lustral Water! Let thy Flood
|
||
Cleanse me -Lymph, Marrow, and Blood!
|
||
The Scourge, the Dagger and the Chain
|
||
Purge Body, Breast and Brain!
|
||
The Fire Informing! Let the Oil
|
||
Balance, assain, assoil!
|
||
|
||
For I am come with all this Pain,
|
||
To ask Admission to the Shrine.
|
||
I know not why -I ask in vain -
|
||
Unless it be that I am Thine.
|
||
|
||
I am Mentu his truth-telling Brother,
|
||
Who was Master of Thebes from my Birth: -
|
||
O Heart of me! Heart of my Mother!
|
||
O Heart that I had upon Earth!
|
||
Stand not Thou up against me as a Witness!
|
||
Oppose me not, Judge, in my Quest!
|
||
Accuse me not now of Unfitness
|
||
Before the great God, the dread Lord of the West!
|
||
|
||
Speak fair Words for [OU MH in Greek]. May he flourish
|
||
In the Place of the Weighing of Hearts
|
||
By the Marsh of the Dead, where the Crocodiles nourish
|
||
Their Lives on the Lost, where the Serpent upstarts.
|
||
-For though I be joined to the Earth,
|
||
In the Innermost Shrine of Heaven am I.
|
||
I was Master of Thebes from my Birth;
|
||
Shall I die like a Dog? Thou shalt not let me die,
|
||
But my Khu that the Teeth of the Crocodiles sever
|
||
Shall be mighty in Heaven for ever and ever!

I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|

I am a Bully and a Tyrant crass,
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am as dull and as stubborn as an Ass;
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am untrusty, cruel and insane,
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Fool and frivolous and vain.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Weakling and a Coward; I cringe,
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Catamite and Cunnilinge.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Glutton, a besotted Wight;
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Satyr and a Sodomite.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am as changeful and selfish as the Sea.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Thing of vice and vanity.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am most violent and I vacillate,
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a blind Man and emasculate.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a raging Fire of Wrath -no wiser!
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Blackguard, Spendthrift and a Miser.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am obscure and devious and null.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am ungenerous and base and dull.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am not marked with the white Flame of Breath.
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
I am a Traitor! -die the Traitor's death!
|
||
I am under the Shadow of the Wings!
|
||
|

Now let me pace the Path, bind on
|

The Girdle of the Starry One!
|

Asar! Who clutches at my Throat?
|

Who pins me down? Who stabs my Heart?

Cleanse me -Lymph, Marrow, and Blood!
|

The Scourge, the Dagger and the Chain

Purge Body, Breast and Brain!

The Fire Informing! Let the Oil

Soul-mastering Terror is Thy Name!
|

Lord of the Gods! Dread Lord of Hell!
|

I am come. I fear Thee not. Thy Flame
|

Is mine to weave my maiden Spell!

I know Thee, and I pass Thee by.

False Phantom, Thou shalt pass before

The frowning Forehead of the Sun.

I know Thee; and I pass Thee by.

Now Witness Ye upon the Earth,

Spirit and Water and Red Blood!
|

Witness Above, bright Babe of Birth,

Spirit, and Father -that are God!
|
||
|

For Silence duly is begot
|
||
And Darkness duly brought to Bed;
|

The Shroud is figured in my Thought,
|

The Inmost Light is on my Head.
|
||
|
||
Attack! I eat up the strong Lions. I!
|
||
Fear is on Seb, on Them that dwell therein,
|
||
Behold the radiant Vigour of the Lord!
|
||
|
||
Defense! I close the Mouth of Sebek, ply
|
||
My Fear on Nile, Asar that held not in!
|
||
Behold my radiant Peace, ye Things abhorred
|
||
For see! The Gods have loosed mine Hands:
|
||
Asar unfettered stands.
|
||
Hail, Asi, hail! Hoor-Apep cries -
|
||
Now I the Son of Man arise
|
||
And follow -dead where Asar lies!

Touch and inform this burning Brow.
|
||
Asar Un-nefer! in the Shrine,
|
||
Make Thou me wholly Thine!
|
||
|
||
I am Asar -worthy alone
|
||
To sit upon the Double Throne.
|
||
Attack is mine, and mine Defence.
|
||
And these are One. Arise, go hence!
|
||
For I am Master of my Fate,
|
||
Wholly Initiate.
|

[MtzThBTzM in Hebrew]

Now let mine Hands unloose the sweet
|

[MTzThBTzM in Hebrew]
|

|
||
Behold! the Perfect One hath said
|
||
These are my body's Elements
|
||
Incense and Wine and Fire and Bread
|
||
Tried and found pure, a golden Spoil.
|
||
These I consume, true Sacraments,
|
||
For the Perfection of the Oil
|
||
-For I am clothed about with Flesh
|
||
And I am the Eternal Spirit.
|
||
I am the Lord that riseth fresh
|
||
From Death, whose Glory I inherit
|
||
Since I partake with Him. I am
|
||
The Manifestor of the Unseen.
|
||
Without me all the Land of Khem
|
||
Is as if it had not been.
|
||
|
||
For from the Silence of the Wand
|
||
Unto the Speaking of the Sword,
|

And back again to the Beyond,
