    Aleister Crowley's Poetic Paraphrase

    Obverse:

    Above, the gemmed azure is The naked splendour of Nuit;She bends in ecstasy to kiss The secret ardours of Hadit.The winged globe, the starry blue,

    Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

    I am the Lord of Thebes, and I The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu;

    For me unveils the veiled sky, The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu

    Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greetThy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

    Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath,Supreme and terrible God, Who makest the gods and death To tremble before Thee: I, I adore thee!

    Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu!Lighten the ways of the Ka! The ways of the Khabs run through

    To stir me or still me! Aum! let it fill me!

    The light is mine; its rays consume

    Me: I have made a secret doorInto the House of Ra and Tum, Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.I am thy Theban, O Mentu,

    The prophet Ankh-af-na-khonsu!

    By Bes-na-Maut my breast I beat; By wise Ta-Nech I weave my spell.Show thy star-splendour, O Nuit! Bid me within thine House to dwell,O winged snake of light, Hadit!

    Abide with me, Ra-Hoor-Khuit!

    Reverse:

    Saith of Mentu the truth-telling brother Who was master of Thebes from his birth:

    O heart of me, heart of my mother! O heart which I had upon earth!

    Stand not thou up against me a witness! Oppose me not, judge, in my quest!

    Accuse me not now of unfitness Before the Great God, the dread Lord of the West!For I fastened the one to the other With a spell for their mystical girth,The earth and the wonderful West, When I flourished, o earth, on thy breast!

    The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Saith with his voice of truth and calm:O thou that hast a single arm! O thou that glitterest in the moon!I weave thee in the spinning charm; I lure thee with the billowy tune.

    The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Hath parted from the darkling crowds,Hath joined the dwellers of the light, Opening Duaut, the star-abodes,

    Their keys receiving.The dead man Ankh-f-n-khonsu Hath made his passage into night,His pleasure on the earth to do Among the living.
