Liber 418 (pdf) - Koyote the Blind

THE VISION AND THE VOICE
kiss, and on it is the monogram I.H.S. The letters I.H.S. mean In
Homini Salus and Instar Hominis Summus, and Imago Hominis
deuS. And there are many, many other meanings, but they all
imply this one thing; that nothing is of any importance but man;
there is no hope or help but in man.
And she says: Sweet are my kisses, O wayfarer that
wanderest from star to star. Sweet are my kisses, O householder
that weariest within four walls. Thou art pent within thy brain,
and my shaft pierceth it, and thou art free. Thine imagination
eateth up the universe as the dragon that eateth up the moon.
And in my shaft is it concentrated and bound up. See how all
around thee gather my warriors, strong knights in goodly armour
ready for war. Look upon my crown; it is above the stars.
Behold the glow and the blush thereof! Upon thy cheek is the
breeze that stirs those plumes of truth. For though I am the
Angel of the fourteenth key, I am also the Angel of the eighth
key. And from the love of these two have I come, who am the
warden of Popé and the servant of them that dwell therein.
Though all crowns fall, mine shall not fall; for my plumes reach
up unto the Knees of Him that sitteth upon the holy throne, and
liveth and reigneth for ever and ever as the balance of
righteousness and truth. I am the Angel of the moon. I am the
veiled one that sitteth between the pillars veiled with a shining
veil, and on my lap is the open Book of the mysteries of the
ineffable light. I am the aspiration unto the higher; I am the love
of the unknown. I am the blind ache within the heart of man. I
am the minister of the sacrament of pain. I swing the censer of
worship, and I sprinkle the waters of purification. I am the
daughter of the house of the invisible. I am the Priestess of the
Silver Star.
And she catches me up to her as a mother catches her babe,
and holds me up in her left arm, and sets my lips to her breast.
And upon her breast is written: Rosa Mundi est Lilium Coeli.
