liber septimus new introduction

On its ever polished lucent orb.

Glimmering as a lustrous copper plate.

Seldom scarce alloys of ore.

Upon a sea of clouds, swam aloft.

The rising sun. Painting pale

Cumulus hue, Cadmium bright

Persimmon warm. Red horizon dawn.

Riding a pearly white elephant, Indra

Surmounts mountain peaks, snowbound.

Asunder sea apart, astral mantle

Tore the zodiac frame.

Heavenly charioteer dressed in purple robes.

Driving from worlds ends on ocean waves.

Four winged steeds lead by Eurus East.

Zephyros west, Boreas north.

& the summer warmth Notus south.

On Cancers line on ocean calm.

From Mexico & India, they meet.

Armed & ready tournament.

West's horn wind resounds. Indra thunder casts.

Helios rays heed his aid.

Earth's crust tremble, continents adrift.

& Vulcanus sets to work the armor

To aid the noble champion,

To bring peace to this chaotic world.

Thou honorable knight doth wear that armor!

The very sword of Achilles war!

The shield of Perseus voyage.

The helm of Rostam.

Arm thine cause & set thine course.

Bring victory to thy noble home.
