At its birth
descending into the sea of time and space
the soul goes through
the ladder of seven spheres
Reaching Earth - coarsened by planets' touch
On its pilgrimage back - it rises
using the same ladder
merging with the planets - one by one
Taking a sweat bath with Saturn
through the earthly vale of tears
and fire that divides what is best
within the spirit, mind and life
We start our journey
Jupiter takes us from there
promising good fortune and wealth
multiplying - he binds us to Maya
of three fighting birds - black and white and red one
Mars brings more fire and sword and shield
his fire hightened, his goal is clear
more transparent & subtle soul
Sun reaches us riding the green lion
appearing mighty, strong and free
he checks us for vanity and pride
offering peace between the birds
Satwa, tamas and rajas enter the balance
Venus gives us pleasure & unimaginable joy
she comes on the peacock tale - sensual, forgetful, selfish
but mind you - She is there to check our immodesty trace
cleansing us through the magic touch of beauty and love
In Mercury's embrasse we fall,
now pure and virginal
the matter solidified - no fire can destroy it
soul's phoenix rising from flames
Luna receives us as
immaculate, purple robed king
giving us the final sublimation
pelican, with her blood, brings her
dead young back to life
The soul now has the strength
to break the power of all its demons
It is fertilised with serpent
until the serpent has
swallowed
its-own tale
