This is part of Lady Sheba's First Degree Initiation Ritual, where it is given as a speech made to
the Candidiate by the High Priestess
This has been taken from the Alexandrian book of shadows.
O Thou who hast declared intent to become one of us, hear then that
which thou must know to do: Single is the race, single of men and of
Gods, from a single source we both draw breath, but a difference of
power in everything keeps us apart, for we are as nothing but the Gods
stay forever. Yet we can, in greatness of minds, be like the Gods.
Though we know not to what goal by day or in the night, Fate has
written that we shall run beyond all seas, and earth's last boundaries.
Beyond the Spring of night and the Heaven's vast expanse there lies a
majesty which is the domain of the Gods. Those who would pass
through the Gates of Night and Day to that sweet place, which is
between the world of men and the domains of the Lords of the Outer
Spaces, know that unless there is truth in thy heart, thy every effort is
doomed to failure. HEAR THEN THE LAW: That thou lovest all
things in nature. That thou walkest humbly in the ways of men and the
ways of the Gods. Also it is the law that contentment thou shalt learn,
through suffering, and from long years, and from nobility of mind and
of purpose. FOR THE WISE NEVER GROW OLD. Their minds
are nourished by living in the daylight of the Gods and if among the
vulgar some discoveries should arise concerning some maxims of thy
belief in the Gods so do thou, for the most part, keep silent. For there
is a great risk of those who straightaway vomit up that which they hast
not digested. And when someone shall say to thee, thou knowest
naught and it bites thee naught, then knowest thou that thou hast
begun the work. And as sheep do not bring their food to the shepherd
to show how much they have eaten but digesting inwardly their
provender do bear outwardly wool and milk, even so, do not display
the maxims to the vulgar, but rather the works that flow when they are
digested.
