INVOCATION
65
Of the all-rushing fire ; and Every Spell
And scourge of God the Vast One may be made
Obedient unto me, to the All-Good
And ultimate Redemption : Hear me, thou !
Eca, zodacare, Iad, goho,
Torzodu odo kikale qaa !
Zodacare od zodameranu !
Zodorje, lape zodiredo Ol
Noco Mada, das Iadapiel !
Ilas ! hoatahe Iaida !
O crowned with starlight ! Winged with emerald
Wider than Heaven ! O profounder blue
Of the abyss of water ! O thou flame
Flashing through all the caverns of the night,
Tongues leaping from the immeasurable
Up through the glittering Steeps unmanifest
To the ineffable ! O Golden Sun !
Vibrating glory of my higher self !
I heard thy voice resounding in the Abyss :
“ I am the only being in the deep
Of Darkness : let me rise and gird myself
To tread the path of Darkness : even so
I may attain the light. For from the Abyss
I came before my birth : from those dim halls
And silence of a primal sleep ! And He,
The voice of Ages, answered me and said :
Behold ! for I am He that formulates
In darkness ! Child of Earth ! the Light doth shine
