"THE SERPENT I saw the black serpent as it wound itself upward around the wood of the cross. It crept into the body of the crucified and emerged again transformed from his mouth. It had become white. It wound itself around the head of the dead one like a diadem and a light gleamed above his head and the sun rose shining in the east. I stood and watched and was confused and a great weight burdened my soul. But the white bird that sat on my shoulder spoke to me: Let it rain let the wind blow let the waters flow and the fire burn. Let each thing have its development let becoming have its day."

"W.B. YEATS ON MAGIC I believe in the practice and philosophy of what we have agreed to call magicin what I must call the evocation of spirits though I do not know what they are in the power of creating magical illusions in the visions of truth in the depths of the mind when the eyes are closed; and I believe in three doctrines which have as I think been handed down from early times and been the foundations of nearly nearly all magical practices. These doctrines are: [--]. That the borders of our mind are ever shifting and that many minds can flow into one another as it were and create or reveal"

"The announcement of an important truth even with the best of intentions can lead to an extraordinary mess. That was the fate of Prometheus.

"THE MYSTIC ROSE Cover of Per Amica Silentia Lunae by W.B.YEATS [----] personal photo. The rose on the cover of Per Amica begins with five large petals and then works inward in a spiral pattern of gradually smaller petals [--] in all. The number is highly significant as it relates to the paths of the Tree of Life in the Golden Dawn hermetic Qabala- Yeats was a senior officer in this occult order and intimately familiar with this symbolism. According to Per Amica Silentia Lunae inspiration was a spiritual gift given by a daimon a spirit that Yeats imagined in the upper reaches of the Tree of Life."

"The Green Man (or foliate head to the pedants) remains a powerful symbol carrying connotations of rebirth and unity with nature. Often found in medieval churches it is much older than Christianity and the imagery with a strange vitality persists down to the present day.

The point is he doesnt belong to anybody; he is the Green Man he is alive and like the leaves sprouting from his head he is"
