Now my name thou shalt obtain in this wise. Of <strong>the</strong> three<br />
angels of <strong>the</strong> Æthyr, thou shalt write <strong>the</strong> names from right to left<br />
and from left to right and from right to left, and <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong><br />
holy letters:<br />
The first 1, <strong>the</strong> fifth 2, <strong>the</strong> sixth 3, <strong>the</strong> eleventh 4, <strong>the</strong> seventh<br />
5, <strong>the</strong> twelfth 6, <strong>the</strong> seventeenth 7.<br />
Thus hast thou my name who am above <strong>the</strong>se three, but <strong>the</strong><br />
angels of <strong>the</strong> 30th Æthyr are indeed four, and <strong>the</strong>y have none<br />

with silver, a green veil over silver armour. Flames of manycoloured<br />
fire dart from him in all directions. It is a woman of<br />
some thirty years old, and she has <strong>the</strong> moon for a crest, and <strong>the</strong><br />
moon is blazoned on her heart, and her sandals are curved silver,<br />
like <strong>the</strong> moon.<br />
And she cries: Lonely am I and cold in <strong>the</strong> wilderness of <strong>the</strong><br />
stars. For I am <strong>the</strong> queen of all <strong>the</strong>m that dwell in Heaven, and<br />
