A Prayer of the First Door
Invocation
And it came to pass that as the Master was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him:
“Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
And He said unto them:
“When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, As in Heaven, So in Earth.”
Oh, that all might know how we love You!
We walk together under the arc of Heaven,
Under the light of the Sun.
We gather, we laugh, we love.
We craft your Holy Weapons.
We sing the Names and draw the Symbols.
We write the numbers and glorify your Mysteries,
Under the eternal watch of Your Moon and Stars.
Study the letters, the words, the numbers,
The mysteries and holy monuments,
Entwined in the known and in the unknown.
Train thy Ego for Annihilation.
We know the Names and the Numbers,
We draw the Holy Symbols,
We say the Words of Power.
Bodies of Light in Silence,
Moving Out in strange directions
Know nothing of Fear, only joy,
For we have never been alone.
The breath leaves the body
and we die a little while with You.
So far away from Your oblivion
Your mystery one and all and none.
From your head the Soul,
From your breasts the milk of Heaven,
From your sex the blood of Creation,
From your mouth cometh Prophecy.
The Angel will not save you now
Little Star, you must die so you might live.
From the South comes the Dragon:
“Burn, cruel Self. Burn!”
Burn and die, your ashes a garden
of rot and pain and Confinement,
Be thou Death, and revel. Die:
Bleed for the Goddess and sing in Death.
We know the Names and the Numbers,
We draw the Holy Symbols,
We say the Words of Power.
We seek the doors of your Love.
To go within and with, Nine and Three.
We made so very many doors between us.
Hidden behind Veils of the beginning of Time.
They are Legion and their numbers are Five and Six.
Eviscerate Word, bathe in its Decay without promise of Renewal.
When I split your flesh at the
Beginning of Time I made you
Strong and bade you Build and Grow,
I bade you Eat of this world and Love.
Live not here, in the Heavens with Me,
You are of Death, the Earth calls,
Every Sin a perfect Sacrament.
Love, drink unto Me and find Joy!
They will Burn, all of them living in Darkness
And starving in Fear, chasing after Wind
That never calms, that knows nothing of Peace.
Pray, You, and play and sing with Me!
Swaddled in Darkness to the Soul I take thee!
The chthonian beginning before even Love,
Before the Word was formed.
Death is my Victory and my price.
Across the great Foundation I take thee!
Back to the Flesh and you grow over
And over In Time I crafted within you
That You might Live in Death.
Oh that you might finally know Me!
Gather all of you under my Sun and Stars
In Heaven, in contemplation and Wonder,
Walk together beneath Me and Breathe:
Know My Names and Numbers.
Draw My Holy Symbols.
Sing My Words of Power.
