Oath of Divine Law...^i^

The Angel of Water
Â*
From the Heavenly Sea
the Waters run and flow forward
from the never-failing Springs.
Â*
To the dry and barren desert
have the Brothers brought the Angel of Water:
That She might bring forth a garden and a green place,
tree-filled and fragnat with flowers.
Cast thyself into the enfolding arms
of the Angel of Water:
Â*
For She shall cast out from thee
all that is unclean and evil.
Let my love flow towards thee, my Heavenly Father,
as the gentle rain doth kiss the Earth.
Â*
As a River through the forest
is the Holy Law.
All creatures depend on it,
and it denieth nothing to any being.
The Law is to the world of men
what a great River is to streams and brooks.
As Rivers of Water in a dry place
are the Brothers who bringeth the Holy Law
to the world of men.
In Water mayest thou quent thy thirst.
Â*
Thus is the Holy Law a two-eged sword:
By the Law mayest thou destroy thyself,
and by the Law mayest thou see God.
