#the signs and wonders
Watch the children of the corn below
One by one they’re following the sun
Got to run
Following the sun on the run
Following the sun
Don’t be ashamed of what you’ve done
“Follow the Sun” Siouxsie and the Banshees
“…initiation takes us to the bottom step of the ladder of the invisible hierarchy and instructs us in the principles of ascent, but the ascent rests personally with ourselves.
The voices of some who have preceded can be heard above us, and they die as they rise into the silence, towards which we also must ascend alone, where initiation can no longer help us, unto that bourne from whence no traveller returns.”
from Arthur Edward Waite’s preface to Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine And Ritual (Alphonse Louis Constant)

On the pages I have read
On all the white pages
Stone, blood, paper or ash
I write your name
On the images of gold
On the weapons of the warriors
On the crown of the king
I write your name
On all my scarves of blue
On the moist sunlit swamps
On the living lake of moonlight
I write your name
On the lamp which is lit
On the lamp which isn’t
On my reunited thoughts
I write your name
On the window of surprises
On a pair of expectant lips
In a state far deeper than silence
I write your name
On my crumbled hiding-places
On my sunken lighthouses
On my walls and my ennui
I write your name
On abstraction without desire
On naked solitude
On the marches of death
I write your name
And for the want of a word
I renew my life
For I was born to know you
To name you

During the final moments of this masterwork a sacred phrase is sung, yet remains rarely understood to this day.
Those who know these words and recognize their import are numbered among the elect in a secret society. Few of us have ever met or spoken, but we dwell in a house together, and we understand our duty to share the signs and wonders.
To whom much is given much is expected.
Today is October 12, 2021.
Take EACH numeral of 10/12/21 and add them as numbers. We reach 7, the number of the Eternal Question and the seeker of the ultimate spirit.
Likewise, take the month, day, and year numerals and add them as numbers. We reach 43, a prime number whose numerals, added as numbers, return us to 7, the number of the Eternal Question and the seeker of the ultimate spirit.
If we take the month, day, and year numerals and multiply them as numbers, we reach 2520.
Divide 2520 by 7 and we have 360, the number of the circle, the Holder of Infinity, and who numerals, added as numbers, reach 9, which is the number of magic squared.
And these are the signs and wonders on this October day, when the Eternal Question is made manifest by the Holder of Infinity.
