The Lamp of Invisible Light

Oh great wonder in the heavens, woman clothed with the sun
Crowned by the stars above, you who move the earth below
My desires are all for thee and shall shatter the universe
Manifest yourself before me, manifest before me

Lift up you heads! Oh, ye gates! As grass refreshed by the rain
Thou art horned as the moon, thou, as the moon
You, the lotus of eternal life, bright gate of glory through the darkling skies!
Oh hear and save! Oh hear and save! (I invoke thee)

Come unto me
(Thoth), lord of the astral light!
I adjure thee
O invisible light!
These words are my power
O intangible light!
By the light in thy midst
By the light in thy midst

Behold! I am a circle
My life, the circle of the sky
I am the alpha omega
I change but I cannot die!
O ye! Birds of resurrection
(Who are) the hope of men's mortality!
Depart from me
Ye workers of iniquity!

Ye are the watchers and my soul the shrine
Enter the darkness to obtain the light

Gather, o gather, flakes of astral light
Shroud, shroud my-form-in-your substantial night
Gather, o gather, at my word divine,
Ye are the watchers and my soul the shrine!


Make me as a shroud of darkness
A formula of defense:
That I may become invisible
Beyond the eyes of seeing men!
Clothe me and hide me
At my charm's control
Darken men's eyes
And blind him in his soul!
