"A crown of thorns is still a crown."
[- Aleister Crowley, The Titanic]
By Saros Vulcanic I am led
Towards all perfection of darkness
To the heights of Hell...
...and the depths of Heaven
I am the mightiest offspring
In slavery I was bred
Brought up by the sword
and mothered by the dead
And thus I danced
For the hate and love bound within my soul
With Epithemus and the Sphinx
Prometheus and the Lynx
Lo, grant me thy namesake
Slayer of the Pantheonic
"Here I am!" Blessed of the left hand
Guardian of the secrets of the forest
Grant me shining eyes and silent ways
...I have come for Asherah!
