A Calling Forth of the Witch Father Tubal-Cain
(Being a devotional prayer and litany to the God of the Forge.)
O' Mighty Witch Father, Tubal-Cain!
You who governs the birth of the Mighty and Blessed.
Sower of my Soul know that I bare witness to the Fires of my Birth.
I beseech Thee and call forth the Quintessential Spirit of Thy Being.
Angelic Spirit of an most Arcane Dawning and
Creator of the Soul-fire in the Blessed Ones.
I implore Thy company within this most Sacred and
Mysterious place that rests between the Worlds of Gods and Men.
O' Master of the Celestial Fire, Tubal-Cain!
Upon the Whole World does your Flame of Revelation seek to
Dispel our Illusions and Rekindle the Essential Fire of Spirit.
Burn and enliven my Blood with Thy Golden Blaze!
By the strike of the Godly Hammer upon the Metal of Spirit I am
Transformed upon the Anvil of Flesh.
The torch of my soul is truly the Light of the First Sun
Broken into pieces by the spinning of Your Mill.
O' Cunning Man of the Fires Fold, Tubal-Cain!
By thine out-pouring of Divine Flame I am purified and
Made holy to Walk this Twisted Path.
Within the Fiery Serpent opens His Spectrum’d Eyes!
At this Temple of the Crossed Roads may Your Radiant Light
Be a beacon that Shines in all Darkness.
Within the Pyre of Your Sparks my Flesh finds Death and the Darkness is Illuminated by the Incandescent Wisdom of Being.
O' Elder Daemon of Heaven's Splendor, Tubal-Cain!
I summon You forth from the Spaces Between and Beyond in all
Thy Resplendent Grandeur, to open wide the Gates of Gnosis and give forth the Signs of Thy Portals.
As You fashion the Light of Spirit to give breath to the
Darkness of Flesh so may I open the Eye within.
An Eye of Fire whose gaze casts Light on this Eternal Night of my Soul and reveals the Shapelessness of Those Who Dwell on the Outside.
O' King of the Mill of Stars, Tubal-Cain!
Turning and spinning upon Your Axis of Fate making and marking those who are of the One Blood and of the One Ancestry.
All who are of Our Ways shall come to know the Spectacle of Your Dance!
Casting forth Living Stars of Wisdom
cloaked in the dust of the Earth,
Shining on all of those who are Faithful unto Thy Ways.
You are with me this day, as You are everyday.
May You bless my feet as they step upon this most Arcane of Crooked Tracks.
O’ Immortal and Infinite Lord, Tubal-Cain!
Gather round this Hallowed Compass as the very
Stars do around the Pole of Thy existence.
Invade and penetrate to the center of my Being!
As the light of the candle pierces the darkness of night,
So does the Fire of my Soul cast all Shadows aside.
In the Night of Nights I forge forth with the Lantern
That is my Heart, I have rekindled the Flame!
O Faithful and Saintly Fire of Paradise, Tubal-Cain!
I am Blessed in Thy Sight that bestows
the Wisdom of the Inner Kingdom,
Knowledge that streams forth from Eternity.
I am a Star that burns brightly in the Night Sky!
You are the Forge of Heaven whose turning showers the
Earth with the Seeds of Life and Light.
In You may all that remain True to the Path find protection
And strength to endure the Un-Ending Trials of Life and Death.
O' Divine Lord of the Holy Peak, Tubal-Cain!
Revealing the Truth of the World to My Eyes,
Telling of things long forgotten by Mankind.
Once there was a World without Veils that shaded our Sight!
From the Crown of Heaven that is Thy celestial abode
I draw down the Holy Fire to pierce my Veiled Heart and
Consume the Shrouds of Darkness that cloak my Divine Flame
and reveal unto my Seeing the True Vision of the Eternal Design!
