In Celebration

In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the consecration of the Vault of the Adepti of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn by Francis Israel Regardie...

The ages pass like crumpled pages in a book,

Some still pristine within the annals of our mind;

A century to come and go is all it took

For much of magic to be lost, and now we find

That somehow it is here again for us to know.

The birthright of our hungered spirit lingers still,

The fruit of inner trees we weather, nurse and sow

That we might come in contact with our higher will.

The light glows stronger now, despite time's leaden hold;

The magi stir from deep within their temple tombs —

What once was but a metal has become fair gold,

And where an ancient garden was, a rose now blooms.
