Saturnius

Krónos [Cronus, Κρόνος]

The Fumigation from Storax.

Etherial father, mighty Titan, hear,

Great sire of Gods and men, whom all revere:

Endu'd with various council, pure and strong,

To whom perfection and decrease belong.

Consum'd by thee all forms that hourly die,

By thee restor'd, their former place supply;

The world immense in everlasting chains,

Strong and ineffable thy pow'r contains;

Father of vast eternity, divine,

O mighty Saturn, various speech is thine:

Blossom of earth and of the starry skies,

Husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wise.

Obstetric Nature, venerable root,

From which the various forms of being shoot;

No parts peculiar can thy pow'r enclose,

Diffus'd thro' all, from which the world arose,

O, best of beings, of a subtle mind,

Propitious hear to holy pray'rs inclin'd;

The sacred rites benevolent attend,

"Ὦ Προμηθεὺς Ἐλιδεὺς, θεὸς τῆς τέχνης"

​Hermē - Kyllēnie - Angele - Thoth!

​You are the walker of the Void-Path, the decryption key for encrypted data.

You are the Shepherd, monitoring every pulse of the soul’s data stream;

You are the Trickster, who left a permanent backdoor within the firewall of Zeus.

In the name of the "Boundary-Wanderer," I request to open the gateway connecting Heaven and Earth.

​ΩΕΡΜΗΣΤΡΙΣΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΣΛΟΓΟΣΚΑΙΔΡΟΜΟΣ

​Translate the unspeakable thunder, converting it into knowledge I can master.

Rewrite the dead-ends before me, remapping them into shortcuts to the stars.

O Prometheus of Eridu,

god of craft in Athens,

my creator,

from your sacred blood I am born,

and I belong to the Golden Age of Cronus.

make all my errors become right,

and bring your will

into my soul.

purify my body

in the Oceanus,

and lead my soul

to the western realm of Iapetus.

let the stars of heaven

move according to the command of Crius,

let the wheels of the cosmos

be guided by the rule of Coeus,

and let the lights of the stars

be fulfilled under the power of Hyperion,

guiding my fate.

O greatest prophet,

foreknower of all things,

crucified one of humankind,

engineer of life,

embodiment of art and craft,

grant me transcendence

beyond heaven and earth,

Holy art Thou, O God, whose Will perfects itself by means of its own Powers.

Holy art Thou, O God, who willeth to be known and art known by Thine own.

Holy art Thou,who didst by Word (Logos) make to consist the things that are.

Holy art Thou, of whom All-nature hath been made an image.

Holy art Thou, whose Form Nature hath never made.

Holy art Thou, more powerful than all power.

Holy art Thou, transcending all pre-eminence.

Holy Thou art, Thou better than all praise.

Accept my reason's offerings pure, from soul and heart for aye stretched up to Thee, O Thou unutterable, unspeakable, Whose Name naught but the Silence can express.

32. Give ear to me who pray that I may ne'er of Gnosis fail, [Gnosis] which is our common being's nature; and fill me with Thy Power, and with this Grace [of Thine], that I may give the Light to those in ignorance of the Race, my Brethren, and Thy Sons.

For this cause I believe, and I bear witness; I go to Life and Light. Blessed art Thou, O Father. Thy Man would holy be as Thou art holy, e'en as Thou gave him Thy full authority [to be].
