    17. Thou art like a goat's horn from Astor, O Thou God of mine, gnarl'd and crook'd and devilish strong.
    18. Colder than all the ice of all the glaciers of the Naked Mountain was the wine it poured for me.
    19. A wild country and a waning moon. Clouds scudding over the sky. A circuit of pines, and of tall yews beyond. Thou in the midst!
    20. O all ye toads and cats, rejoice! Ye slimy things, come hither!
    21. Dance, dance to the Lord our God!
    22. He is he! He is he! He is he!
    23. Why should I go on?
    24. Why? Why? comes the sudden cackle of a million imps of hell.
    25. And the laughter runs.
    26. But sickens not the Universe; but shakes not the stars.

    A lot of cool imagery weaved into each other connected with Saturn. It feels like a setting of the scene with a saturation of the symbols tuning the environment to the angle of this energy. Capricorns sexual energy, the strange and wondrous moon, and the ecstatic terror of Tav.

    Part of the worship the adept has for the angel is mischievous here and dark on the surface. There is a joy here too and the nerves shoot into excitement. Beyond fear or suspicion the toads, cats, and slimy things might conjure is the acknowledgment that all these things from and part of the vastness of the angel. Thus, do things appear awry while neither the Universe or stars are shaken. It is a love that is on edge and slightly dangerous as if someone about to fall from some height. Pretty fun.
