…oss the days ! I have risen ! I have risen ! as a mighty hawk of gold ! From the golden egg I gather, and my wings the world enfold. I alight in mighty splendour from the thrond boats of light ; Companies of Spirits follow me ; adore the Lords of Night. Yea, with gladness did they pæan, bowing low be-fore my car, In my ears their homage echoed from the sunrise to the star. I have risen ! I am gathered as a lovely hawk of gold, I the first-born of the Mother in her ecstasy of old. Lo! I am come to face the dweller in the sacred snake of Khem ;…

It is because of shadow that we are able to see light; because of cold that we feel heat; because of pain that we are sensible to pleasure. Evil is then for us the occasion and the beginning of good. But, in the dreams of our imperfect intelligence, we accuse the work of Providence, through failing to understand it.

Here is the formula in technical terms: “To polarize one’s own animal light, in equilibrated antagonism with the contrary pole.” Or: To concentrate in one’s self the special qualities of absorp- tion in order to direct their rays towards an absorbing focus, and vice versa. This government of our magnetic polarization may be done by the assistance of the animal forms of which we have spoken ; they will serve to fix the imagination.

The Deacon marshals them; they advance one by one to the altar. The children take the Elements and offer them. The PEOPLE communicate as did the PRIEST, uttering the same words in an atti- tude of Resurrection: There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
