Who is the god we should worship with our oblation? The Golden Embryo, the Golden Womb1. Who arose in the beginning, who was manifest as the one Lord of creation, who held in place this earth and this sky.
Who is the god we should worship with our oblation? He who gives life, who gives strength , to whose command all the gods, his own, obey; his shadow is immortality – and death.
Who is the god we should worship with our oblation? He who by his greatness became the one king of the world that breathes an blinks, who rules over his two-footed and four-footed creatures …
Who is the god we should worship with our oblation? He by whom the awesome sky and the earth were made firm, by whom the dome of the sky was propped up, and the sun, who measured out the middle realm of space …
Who is the god we should worship with our oblation? When the high waters came, pregnant with the embryo that is everything, bringing forth fire, he arose from that as the one life’s breath of the gods.
