The Phoenix

In this story told,
Although maybe it has been told before,
As Nix throws her dark cloak over the heavens
So the stars may shine bright.
A curtain which opens
Never drawn against the night.
The fire burning in the hearth
The golden red amber hues
Dancing upon the cinders
Leaping above the ashes
Sending a glow of home into the night.

Seeking counsel amongst the masters of death
The flame reached the salty gates
Beyond the masters of life
Upon their thrones
With no reverse
Breathed light glancing at the cross.

The world is the centre
covered by the page of cups
crossed by the ten wands
crowned by half of this wands
beneath the six of wands
behind the emperor sits
before the king of cups
the sixth the eight of wands

From the Quintessence
Air flames the fire
Water fills the earth

Thor pronounced his might in the name of Felix

I am the God Thor,
I am the War God,
I am the Thunderer!
Here in my Northland,
My fastness and fortress,
Reign I forever!

Here amid icebergs
Rule I the nations;
This is my hammer, ...
Giants and sorcerers
Cannot withstand it!

These are the gauntlets
Wherewith I wield it,
and hurl it afar off;
This is my girdle;
Whenever I brace it,
Strength is redoubled!

The Light thou beholdest
Stream through the heavens,
In flashes of crimson,
Is but my red beard
Blown by the night-wind,
Affrighting the nations!

Jove is my brother;
Mine eyes are the lightning;
The wheels of my chariot
Roll in the thunder,
The blows of my hammer
Ring in the earthquake!

Force rules the world still,
Has ruled it, shall rule it;
Meekness is weakness,
Strength is triumphant,
Over the whole-earth
Still is it Thor's-Day!
(Longfellow)

The Moon covered the Sun in graceful union
Proclaiming their love and the masters upon
Their thrones spoke;

The centre is strength
covered by death
crossed by the hanged man
crowned by the ace of swords
beneath the two of wands
behind the cups of six
before the wheel of fortune
the sixth justice

MARVEL NOT AT THIS!
The eternal flame breathes
Love and Light of Truth
For all that is good and fair.

These are the qualities
Which will translate the
Essence of death into life.

As Nix covers the heavens
At night with her cloak so
The stars, those exalted beings,
Shine bright in a flicker of the eye.

Our Father who Art in Heaven
Hallowed by thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done on Earth
As it is in Heaven.
