June 23 (Water) Liber LXV, Cap. III, v. 30
-
30. Thou art Sebek the crocodile against Asar; thou art Mati, the Slayer in the Deep. Thou art Typhon, the Wrath of the Elements, O Thou who transcendest the Forces in their Concourse and Cohesion, in their Death and their Disruption. Thou art Python, the terrible serpent about the end of all things!

The figures and attributes here all sound like catalysts for change. Whatever is "about the end of things" is also near the beginning of new things. Part of the nature of water is cleansing and though when I think of cleansing I mostly have in mind a sort of passive action we also know that water cuts into rocks in rivers. Water can destroy and re-form what it passes through in a dramatic way. Thus, birthing something new in the process. The end and the beginning are juxtaposed, the serpent swallows its tail, and eternity repeats.
