De Nomine Olun
(Of the Name OLUN)
OUR Seasons, or it may be nigh five, ago, I thy
Father was in the City called New-Orleans, and
being in Travail of Spirit I did invoke the God that
giveth Wisdom, bearing the Word of the All-Father by his
Caduceus. Then, suddenly, as I began (as it were a Gust of
Fire whirled forth against that Idea) cam the Wit of mine
utter Identity, so that I ceased, crying Mercurius Sum. Also
instantly I knew in myself that here was a Mystery hidden,
and translating into the Greek Tongue, exclaimed `ERMES
'EIMI, whose Numeration did I make in my Mind forthwith,
and it is Four Hundred and Eighteen, like unto the Word of
the Æon. So by this I knew that my Work was well wrought
in Truth. Thus then also was it with this my Lady; for after
many Questions I obtained from the wizard Amalantrah that
Name Olun, that is One Hundred and Fifty and Six even as
that of our Lady BABALON; and then, being inspired, I wrote
down Her Earth-name in Greek, MARIE, which is also that
this Name (as I have learned) is in the Phœnician Tongue,
whôlon; which by Interpretation is That which is Infinite, and
Space; so that all is consonant with NUITH Our Lady of the
Stars.
Thus, o my Son, is the Word of Truth echoed
through-out all Worlds; and thus have the Wise mighty
Assurance in their Way. See, o my Son, that thou work not
without
this
Guard
inflexible,
lest
thou
err
in
thy
Perceptions.
