Nimane, gynander, majordomo; by dandelion, fennel, and rosemary, quickly strike, smite dragon’s blood tongue fifty times turned.

to the O of the Host,
Pantacle of Fire.

Wisdom says be strong
remembering quintessence.

Give it time.

Knowledge Lake Empress
Sleeping of the Moon
Looking Up for the Ladder
Up on the Angel’s Shoulders
One Song Filling the Sky
