    15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
    16. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.
    17. But ye are not so chosen.

      Side point: Jim, did you say that the verses cycle through patterns of 10, corresponding to the Sephirot? That would make these verses correspond to Geburah, Tiphareth, and Netzach, right?

        Right 😄

        The fit is particularly good for these verses, I think.

          PS - There are 22 sets of 10 verses. These seem to me to correspond to the 22 Hebrew letters from Tav to Aleph.

          Notice, therefore, how the second set - vv. 11-20 - correspond to Shin especially in the sense of describing the Stele of Revealing. Here they are numbered 1-10 to make the pattern clearer:

          @CCXX, vv. 11-20 said

          "1. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools.

          1. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love!
          2. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy.
          3. Above, the gemméd azure is/ The naked splendour of Nuit;/ She bends in ecstasy to kiss/ The secret ardours of Hadit./ The wingéd globe, the starry blue,/ Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!
          4. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in his woman called the Scarlet Woman is all power given. They shall gather my children into their fold: they shall bring the glory of the stars into the hearts of men.
          5. For he is ever a sun, and she a moon. But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight.
          6. But ye are not so chosen.
          7. Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent!
          8. O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them!
          9. The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given unto him."
