18 September (Saturn) Liber VII, 2:1-9
-
1. O my God! use Thou me again, alway. For ever! For ever!
2. That which came fire from Thee cometh water from me; let therefore Thy Spirit lay hold on me, so that my right hand loose the lightning.
3. Travelling through space, I saw the onrush of two galaxies, butting each other and goring like bulls upon earth. I was afraid.
4. Thus they ceased fight, and turned upon me, and I was sorely crushed and torn.
5. I had rather have been trampled by the World-Elephant.
6. O my God! Thou art my little pet tortoise!
7. Yet Thou sustainest the World-Elephant.
8. I creep under Thy carapace, like a lover into the bed of his beautiful; I creep in, and sit in Thine heart, as cubby and cosy as may be.
9. Thou shelterest me, that I hear not the trumpeting of that World-Elephant. -

Every soul passes under the throne of Ananki as it enters the world, at which moment she whacks it, deforming it.
Dark Themis, I creep under the hem of your skirts, but looking up all I can make out are deeper shadows.
The world of form is a glorious meat grinder of gross violence, and also of a deep inner security.
or?
Love and Will
