Invocation of Thoth
 |
Procol
oh procol este profani. Barlasti ompala. In the name of the Mighty
and Terrible One, I proclaim that I have banished the shells unto
their habitations. I invoke Tahuti, the Lord of Wisdom and of Utterance;
the god that cometh forth from the veil. Oh thou, majesty of the
godhead, wisdom-crowned Tahuti, Lord of the gates of the universe.
Thee, thee I invoke. Oh thou of the ibis head. Thee, thee I invoke.
Thou who wieldest the wand of double power. Thee, thee I invoke.
Thou who bearest in thy left hand the rose and cross of light |
and life. Thee, thee I invoke. Thou whose head is as
an emerald, and thy nemyss as the night sky blue. Thee, thee I invoke.
Thou whose skin is a flaming orange as though it burned in a furnace.
Thee, thee I invoke.
Behold, I am yesterday, today, and the brother of tomorrow.
I am born again and again. Mine is the unseen force whereof the gods are
sprung, which is as life unto the dwellers in the Watchtowers of the Universe.
I am the charioteer of the east; Lord of the past and the future. I see
by my own inward light; Lord of resurrection who cometh forth from the
dust, and my birth is from the house of death. Oh ye two Divine hawks
upon your pinnacles who keep watch over the universe.
Ye who company the Bier to the house of rest, who pilot
the ship of Ra, ever advancing onwards the heights of heaven. Lord of
the shrine which standeth in the center of the earth. Behold! He is me
and I in him. Mine is the radiance wherein Ptah floateth over the firmament.
I travel upon high. I tread upon the firmament of Nu. I raise a flashing
flame with the lightening of mine eye. Ever rushing on in the splendor
of the daily glorified Ra, giving my life to the dwellers of earth. If
I say come up upon the mountain, the celestial waters shall flow at my
command. For I am Ra incarnate, Kephra created in the flesh. I am the
idolar of my father Tnu, Lord of the city of the sun. The god who commands
is in my mouth. The god of wisdom is in my heart. My tongue is the sanctuary
of truth and a god sitteth upon my lips. My word is accomplished every
day, and the desire of my heart realizes itself as that of Ptah when he
created his works. I am eternal, therefore all things are as my designs.
Therefore do thou come forth unto me from thine abode in the silence,
unutterable wisdom, all light or power.
Thoth. Hermes. Mercury. Odin. By whatever
name I call thee thou art still nameless to eternity. Come thou forth
I say, and aid and guard me in this work of art. Thou star of the east
that didst conduct the magi. Thou art the same all present in heaven and
in hell. Thou that vibratest between the light and the darkness, rising,
descending, changing ever, yet ever the same. The sun is thy father; thy
mother the moon. The wind hath borne thee in it's bosom and earth hath
ever nourished the changeless god head of thy youth. Come thou forth I
say, come thou forth and make every spirit of the firmament and of the
ether, upon the earth and under the earth, on dry land and in the water,
of whirling air and of rushing fire, and every spell and scourge of God
the Vast One may be obedient unto me.
