October 7 (Sol) Liber VII, Cap. IV, v. 44-53

GabrielO

**44. Yea, and the writing [sigils]. It is well. This is the voice which shook the earth.
45. Eight times he cried aloud, and by eight and by eight shall I count Thy favours, Oh Thou Elevenfold God 418!
46. Yea, and by many more; by the ten in the twenty-two directions; even as the perpendicular of the Pyramid — so shall Thy favours be.
47. If I number them, they are One.
48. Excellent is Thy love, Oh Lord! Thou art revealed by the darkness, and he who gropeth in the horror of the groves shall haply catch Thee, even as a snake that seizeth on a little singing-bird.
49. I have caught Thee, O my soft thrush; I am like a hawk of mother-of-emerald; I catch Thee by instinct, though my eyes fail from Thy glory.
50. Yet they are but foolish folk yonder. I see them on the yellow sand, all clad in Tyrian purple.
51. They draw their shining God unto the land in nets; they build a fire to the Lord of Fire, and cry unhallowed words, even the dreadful curse Amri maratza, maratza, atman deona lastadza maratza maritza — marán!
52. Then do they cook the shining god, and gulp him whole.
53. These are evil folk, O beautiful boy! let us pass on to the Otherworld.

Below is the image of the sigils referenced in today's verses and the footnote on the sigils in the text published by College of Thelema.

Here is an explanation of the footnotes from the published text:
"Frater O.M.’s Commentary is given in the present edition as footnotes. Supplemental remarks and explanations are uniformly included in square brackets [], and may be attributed to G.'.H.'. Frater π, the current Prolocutor General of Temple of Thelema."

Footnote:
Sigils reading from right to left explained by the symbols First line: Air of Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Water of Air, Earth of Air, Fire of Air, Air of Fire, Earth of Earth, Fire of Water.
Second line: Fire of Earth, Water of Earth, Air of Fire, Water of fire, Earth of Fire.
[“Air of Air” is the same as “Air.” Besides this, there appear to be some transcription errors. “Air of Fire” is given twice, but no “Air of Water” or “Air of Earth.” It is also probably that “Earth of Earth” should be “Earth of Water.” This last correction being made, all four elements manifest through each other with the exception of the undeciphered irregularities with respect to Air.]
