… so forming a Wheel of 10 spokes whose boundary is a Decagon; and this again within a circular band, upon which is inscribed in full the name ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ, of 12 (6 x 2) letters. About this whirling Disk are its six Wings; the entire symbol is not only a glyph of Earth as understood in this New Aeon of Horus, but of the number 6, the number of the Sun. This card is thus an affirmation of the identity of Sol and Terra‐and that will be best understood by those who have punctually practised Liber Resh for the necessary number of years, preferabl…

…less, above all shape and shade ; Lampless, beyond all light and flame ; Timeless, above all age and grade ; Moveless, beyond the mighty name ; A mystic mortal and a maid, Filled with all things to fill the same, To overflow the shores of God, Mingling our proper period. The agony is passed: behold How shape and light are born again ; How emefald and starry gold Burn in the midnight ; how the pain Of our incredible marriage-fold And bed of birthless travail wane ; And how our molten limbs divide, And self and self again abide.

Have pity, hear me, virgin queen, Whose pangs of childbirth were seven times more keen Than all, since love and memory of joy Thou hadst not, but the fear of shame to cloy Even the hope of mo…

In the ways of the East and the West Whence the night and the day are discrowned, We pass with the beat of his breast, And the breath of his crying is bound. Unto Toum, the low Lord of the West, let the noise of our chant be the breath Proclaiming him Death !

Only thy children lie at night and waken— How shouldst thou speak and say that no man hears ? O Soul of Tears ! For never hath fallen as dew thy word, Nor is thy shape shewed, nor as Wisdom’s heard Thy crying about the city In the house where is no pity, But in the desolate halls and lonely vales of sand :

…where I stand ; I owe my wealth to Him , and without shame, Have therefore always followed His command , And every sabbath glorified His Name. He will not scrutinize , nor question why ; But trust my general plan . If He, anew , Perchance may need to fight, utility , Not glory , will incite Him thereunto . Lo, in His service all my life is spent Creating righteous labour , which is bread : (Lazarus enters . He loves me well , and I am confident He will receive my soul when I am dead . 138

Let us go forth together, Into the solemn passionless profound, Into the darkness, and the thrilling weather, Into the silence louder than all sound, Into the vast implacable inane !
