First Congress

Verum, sine mendacio certum et verissimum,
quod est inferius, est sicut quod est superius,
et quod est superius, est sicut quod est inferius
ad perpetranda corruptionem mundi ...

At night you appeared into my heart
so frightful your mystery
made me shiver you in full anxiety

The image through which you hide
so dreadful, could not be mistaken.
Your presence, so terrible but charming:
you brought doubt, severity and pride.

Endorcizo Te, Daemon ac musa, Adversarie, Serpens callidissime

And this fire was oh, so cold:
made my lungs freeze as though made of ice
and then with a clandestine intellect
it was me, alone, before the immense wheel of time.

Time for you nothing but a stranger
you taught me not to fear
since it is only beyond Death that you become the Living Truth.

Then from panic I died ... silence.

And from this womb I am born again
born not solely of the clay but with wings of the fire eternal,
all from One, Omnia in Caelum: I was no
longer of this world, left my flesh to be the Other,
while downwards lay the highest intercourse.
Thanatos ad Eros in copulation: all in one I am all ...
