April 11 (Earth) Liber LXV, Cap. I, v. 1
-
1. 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 æons 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!

And so it begins...
If you want to enrich this cycle of daily meditations, I suggest saturating yourself in the Qabbalistic idea for the period. For example, for this month of the Earth chapter, invoke Earth daily (perhaps before your meditation period, banishing after), and indulge yourself in other Earth formulae known to you (e.g.., T.'.O.'.T.'. initiates of at least 1° might want to saturate themselves in the 1° ritual during this time).
And so forth.
In any case: Enjoy.

The heart entwined by the serpent - the equilibrated center, balanced existence, Adept in life entwined by the Serpent of Wisdom, Hadit, Kundalini, the Messiah our savior. Upon the ashes and defunct forms of old are we liberated and brought to new heights to rise our heads once again to the limitless light beyond. We move through trial and ordeal as form itself affords and necessitates, but it is all part of our worship, part of our song, and part of our invocation to the Lord on High. We identify ourselves with the eternal and divine parts of ourselves. We continually aspire and await in awe the glory of Adonai.
