. . . the Primal Ancestral Atavism: the Spirit-totem of I, Seed of the
Millions-of-Forms-of-Being, Origin of all Selves that inhabit the Aeons.
I am She, I am He that singeth the Uncreated into the Existent
Aires, Whose Voice is the Many-tongued Orison, within which is the
Hidden Communion of the Sacred Sigils spoken, and by whose
tonaltities the States of Nature are wrought.
~Andrew D. Chumbley
