(An Oath wrtitten during the Dawn Meditation) <br /> <br />Aiwaz! Confirm my troth with thee ! my will inspire <br />With secret sperm of subtle, free, creating Fire! <br />Mould thou my very flesh as Thine, renew my birth <br />In childhood merry as divine, enchenated earth! <br />Dissolve my rapture in Thine own, a sacred slaugther <br />Whereby to capture and atone the soul of water! <br />Fill thou my mind with gleaming Thought intense and rare <br />To One refined, outflung to naught, the Word of Air! <br />Most, bridal bound, my quintessentil Form thus freeing <br />From self, be found one Selfhood blent in Spirit Being.<br /><br />Aleister Crowley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-oath/
