Prayer of the gnomes

Follow
Earthen Opus

This translation of the elemental prayers is the same that is used in the Golden Dawn rituals and most likely was translated by S.L. "MacGregor" Mathers. An alternate version can be found in Waites version of Dogme et Rituel. It appears, that in part, these may predate Levi, and may be found in the likes of Comte de Gabalis as well as the Grimoirium Verum, both most likely dating to around the end of the 17th century.

O Invisible King Who, taking the Earth for Foundation, didst hollow its depths to fill them with Thy Almighty Power. Thou Whose Name shaketh the Arches of the World! Thou who causest the Seven Metals to flow through the veins of the rocks! King of the Seven Lights! Rewarder of the subterranean Workers! Lead us into the desirable Air and into the Realm of Splendor. We watch and we labor unceasingly, we seek and we hope, by the twelve stones of the Holy City, by the buried Talismans, by the Axis of the Lodestone which passes through the center of the Earth. O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! Have pity upon those who suffer. Expand our hearts, detach and upraise our minds, enlarge our natures. O Stability and Motion! O Darkness veiled in Brilliance! O Day clothed in Night! O Master who never dost withhold the wages of Thy Workmen! O Silver Whiteness! O Golden Splendor! O Crown of Living and Melodious Diamond! Thou who wearest the Heavens on Thy Finger like a ring of Sapphire! Thou who hidest beneath the Earth in the Kingdom of Gems, the marvelous Seed of the Stars! Live, reign, and be Thou the Eternal Dispenser of the Treasures whereof Thou hast made us the Warders! Amen.

Eliphas Levi, ‘Oraison Des Gnomes’, Dogmes et Rituels de la Haute Magie, unknown translator
