Crowley Quote

Just got Flock. Haven't updated, so here goes.

I am the Heart; and the Snake is entwined

About the invisible core of the mind.

Rise, O my snake! It is now is the hour

Of the hooded and holy ineffable flower.

Rise, O my snake, into brilliance of
bloom

On the corpse of Osiris afloat in the
tomb!

O heart of my mother, my sister, mine
own,

Thou art given to Nile, to the terror
Typhon!

Ah me! but the glory of ravening storm

Enswathes thee and wraps thee in frenzy
of form.

Be still, O my soul! that the spell may
dissolve

As the wands are upraised, and the aeons
revolve.

Behold! in my beauty how joyous Thou art,

O Snake that caresses the crown of mine
heart!

Behold! we are one, and the tempest of
years

Goes down to the dusk, and the Beetle
appears.

O Beetle! the drone of Thy dolorous note

Be ever the trance of this tremulous
throat!

I await the awaking! The summons on high

From the Lord Adonai, from the Lord
Adonai!
