Recite this to invoke the animated Word,
And from the manifested silence draw forth sound;
The sound whose sight is only in the mind–wake up!
You master of the hypnagogic mansion's rooms,
Fair Hypnos, help me bring these dreams into this world
Of slumbering ideas inchoate. Melody
Of Eros ferry me from worldliness's needs.
Replenish me sublime physicians with your word;
By the clandestine name of Imhotep, relieve
And heal me from the imprecations of the real.
Release the mind and let it not be fettered by
The body which is slave to appetite and death.
Unbind me by the holy name of Mithras, he
Who gives to poets visions of surpassing awe.
Osiris by your Bacchic name of Zagreus,
Unlock my tongue, give it rebirth and liberate
With tongues of fire my deep unspoken soul within.
Reveal the essence of creation by your names
Of mystery Hermetic Thoth who holds the key.
Allow my passage from mundane to other worlds.
