Beyond the Threshold

Beyond the Threshold
by Adramelek

I stand before the altar of the Midnight Sun,
As I summon the Black Flame into my midst
That I may work my will upon the warp and weave of the world.
Open the gates of the Blazing Trapezoid
And come forth from beyond the Abyss,
To greet me as a brother and kindred spirit.

Enshroud me with the Powers of Infernus;
Let them become one with me
As I am become one with the Eternal Set,
Whose Kingdom is within the Darkness,
Behind the Constellation of the Seven Stars.

As I send forth my most exalted and sublime self,
Arm it with the Shining Pentagram of Set
And with the Sceptre called Giver of Winds,
That it may slay the cosmic stasis,
And cast down all that is moved to appear against it.

Beyond the threshold of Aeons,
From the primordial depths
I am risen up, and I am become transformed
Like the mighty Khepera,
With the Wings of the Falcon I soar the Infinite.

I dwell in the fane of the eternal Flame of Ba.
Space and time bend to my will,
And I am Ancient One of Life, Death, and Life beyond Death.
Hear then, this Doom that I pronounce,
And beware the Ka which now Comes Into Being
Through that Dark Art which is mine to command.

"I have Come Into Being
And by the Process of my Becoming
I have Become the Creator
Of That which has Come Into Being"!
