THE GLORIOUS WHEEL OF BENEDICTION 0 I am The Fool journeying in endless cycles of becoming. My value is the perfect Zero whose Still breath never stirs the candle flame. When my staff touched the golden Ox of Ether… 1 …I became The Magician of the House of Bread. With my exalted wand I draw down the breath Of the Stars and bake the bread of infinity. 2 I am The High Priestess of the Name Divine and letter-arrays: The dark mirror that preserves all events in her Virgin Womb. My feet wear the petals of white lilies as I ride the moon’s Camel That unites the indivisible Crown with the Sun of Beauty. 3 I am Venus, The Empress of roses and queen of desires: The Womb of Light and Mother of the golden dawn. My fertile form is pregnant with the unborn ideas of my Lord. I am the Emerald Door that shuts the altar of wisdom From the filthy eyes of slaves of the scorpion. 4 As The Emperor of the forces of life and death I constitute The eternal reign of the Life Power in prima materia. I am the transparent Window that allows the Light of Consciousness to impregnate my Lady with my ideas. 5 I am the Voice that silently speaks eternally: Hear my golden silent Instructions as The Hierophant Who strangles the Bull and you’ll be the Nail that links My Voice of freedom with the ears of those Still dwelling under the shadow of the earth. 6 I mate with my shadow and I have become That Light wherein there is no iota of shadow. I am the frequency which resonates between The Lovers in Eden whose coition forever keeps the Tree in fruit. I am the sharp Sword of discrimination that severs the disguises Of falsehood from entangling with the purity of Truth. 7 I am the eternal Conqueror who rides The Chariot of the Zodiac. I enclose my empire with a Fence of fire and ice united in gold And I have no subjects to rule because I am both my foe and friend. 8 With my Strength, I open the mouth of the fiery Red Lion of Sulphur and make it utter the Voice of Mars. I am the Serpent climbing the paths of wisdom, Know my nature with wisdom and you’re free; Know it with presumption and see yourself damned forever. 9 I am The Hermit alone on the icy mountain of enlightenment. I hold the everlasting lamp burning with the six sided flame Of love; a beacon guiding the seeker to come to summit. I am the Hand of fire that invents the Crafts of Egypt And masters the glory of the letter-arrays. 10 Rotate The Wheel of Fortune with your right Fist; When the sun sets, twenty pieces of gold will appear in it As payment for your labor as a Worker of the Sun. 11 I am Justice, holder of the golden scales of truth And Mistress of the sword of attainment. With my scales I weigh the hearts of men So only the risen can enter the Temple on High; My sword instructs the untested on the immutability of Law. I am the Ox Goad that goads the golden Ox Of Ether to walk the path of golden roses So it will enter the temple of perfect peace profound. 12 I am the great Water of existence: The salty sea whose mute nature in the golden Cup reflects The Greater Countenance as the Lesser Countenance. I am The Hanged Man suspended upside down from the Tree of Life So my head becomes a compendium of knowledge of the universe: Hang yourself upside down as I do and my head will be yours. 13 Death! Worthy destroyer of adversities who swallows all forms Until the infinite cycles of Fiat Lux produces the white dragon. You’re the enigmatic mask that cloaks the beauty of life. I am the Fish with the scorpion’s sting; feed me to the serpent’s flame And I will be that eagle who blesses you with the cube of Mercury. 14 I am the Prop that supports the tabernacle of wisdom on Zion. I am the gold bar whose Temperance in the fires Of the sun births the remarkable vessel of dawn Borne in the hands of the flaming letters. Fill me with your burning water Mighty Mikhael That I may melt the ancient landmarks of Egypt. 15 The Devil approaches! Grab your tents and hide! Cast your stones upon that malicious adversary, That slimy lying spirit who is the father of all lies That afflicts men with his fork of misery. But look upon this terrible spectacle with the wise Eye of Horus And you will see him as the Angel with the flaming sword: That Dweller on the Threshold who guards the gates to the Temple. 16 The Tower of illusion is destroyed by the Lightning Sword And The House of God replaces it on the sacred mountain. I am the red Mouth that devours ancient patterns: My tongue is the fiery sword of Mars that makes War upon the princes of the House of Saturn. 17 I am The Star of the Magi: My bright form guides all seekers to the safe Manger. I am the Fishhook cast in the sea of life Waiting to catch the fish of multiplication. I am Truth veiled by dark tresses of ignorance, Meditate on me with perseverance and I will Unveil my naked form before your sublime gaze. 18 The Moon illuminates the Back of the Head Of those who sleep in the embrace of her healing waters. In the steppes of Asia the wolf asks for her touch of grace And in the fields of Alsatia the dog receives her touch. I am Luna, Mistress of flux and reflux And the gentle weaver of your corporeal garment; Sleep gentle soul and I will mend the tears in your garment. 19 I am The Sun with the human countenance. Among all things I am the Head. I am the sustainer of life and collector of thoughts. Creation is an adaptation of my benevolence. I am in all life and all life is in Me. I alone hold the secrets of gold in my grasp, Grab my hand and the nature of gold is yours. 20 I am the triple fire of the first world: With my holy breath I create the three worlds below. I hiss with my flaming Tooth shaped like the serpent’s fang Which I employ in obliterating the grip of the mundane world. I am the flame that kindles your dreams and lifts you to sublimity. I am the angel sounding the trump of Judgement That will raise you from your oppressive graves And transport you to the boundless dimensions. 21 I am the cross of completion and my work is finished. My Mark brands the actions of The World forever. I am the eternal dancer in the midst of the adytum Because I am free from the jurisprudence of men. I am the creator and devourer of limitations And in my limitlessness I transcend the boundaries of fear. After drawing the mark of Saturn’s secret in my aura, I acquire the eternal solar body nurtured by the rainbow And enter into my rest because I Am That I Am.
