[...] Sorita d’Este posted this nice translation of the Orphic Hymn to Saturn which I believe is from Thomas Taylor’s under appreciated translations of The Hymns of Orpheus so I thought I’d print it also and give readers an idea of a magical use for it: Etherial father, mighty Titan, hear, great fire of Gods and men, whom all revere: Endu’d with various council, pure and strong, to whom perfection and decrease belong. Consum’d by thee all forms that hourly die, by thee restor’d, their former place supply; The world immense in everlasting chains, strong and ineffable thy pow’r contains Father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Saturn [Kronos], various speech is thine: Blossom of earth and of the starry skies, husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wife. Obstetric Nature, venerable root, from which the various forms of being shoot; No parts peculiar can thy pow’r enclose, diffus’d thro’ all, from which the world arose, O, best of beings, of a subtle mind, propitious hear to holy pray’rs inclin’d; The sacred rites benevolent attend, and grant a blameless life, a blessed end.

Comment on “the youth of Lacedaemon in Sparta made due sacrifice” (all about flogging really!) by Sorita d'Este

Indeed Paul, furthermore, unfortunately I have seen many instances where progressive becomes regressive due to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the purpose and symbolism of rituals / parts of rituals. So its a complex subject!

Yes indeed, this will be shown quite clearly (where it is from Liber Al, Law of Liberty and from the Gnostic Mass etc) in the lines in which that is the case. A full analysis was providing in the public edition of the book which was published more than 2 years ago

That “certainty, not faith” is a paraphrase of Crowley’s “certainty, not faith, both here and in the hereafter.”

Wish I’d known you were selling autographed copies of that, I just bought my wife a copy 2 months ago…
