Fire of my fire! how the brilliance darts forth, Runs to the uttermost pole of the North, Splashing all space with the spume of my wrath! Ah! but the subtle, the perilous way; That hath no fire to enkindle the clay. Ever to all be the word of me Nay! I who am Being and …

As his hands bear the torch and the horn, the symbols of Fire and Water, so does his form unite the Earth in his hairy and bestial aspect, and the Air in his bat-like wings. The whole would be an evil symbol were it not for the Pentagram of Light above his head which regulates and guides his movements. The figure of Pan is then explained, after which the Hierophant Inductor shows the Philosophus the 14th Key of the Tarot. The more ancient form shows us a female figu…

…all, abide its separate Lord.” The experience could not be better phrased. Zoroaster, too: “Who first sprang from Mind, clothing the one Fire with the other Fire, binding them together, that he might mingle the fountainous craters, while preserving unsullied the brilliance of His own Fire.” “Containing all things in the one summit of his Hyparxis, He Himself subsists wholly beyond.” It is almost impossible to describe so purely metaphysical a state, which involves clearly enough a contradiction in terms.
