The Strangers are Tuning by Jesse Lindsay

Before the beginning:
Emptiness, Darkness, Timelessness, Infinity.
Frogs and snakes seethe in lightless waters.
The word is unspoken, Silence reigns in the void.
The First God is coming into Being.
The First Hill rises from the starless deep, from endless Ocean.
The First Time begins.
The First Word is spoken.
The First Dawn forms the perfect moment.
It is a blue Lotus rising, unfolding.
It is the Ibis Egg containing the universe.
It is a Child, breaking the silence with song.
It is the Sun upon the endless horizon.
It is a Bird of Fire, spreading wings of limitless light.
Thoth speaks the Words and the Worlds are created,
Born from the mind of Ptah,
From thoughts in the Heart of Sia
And words from the Tongue of Hu,
By Heka the power of Magick, one with all the gods:
Kheph-Ra, scarab of unceasing transformation,
Amon-Ra, invisible one, permeating all,
Aton-Ra, golden sphere of embracing rays,
Atum-Ra, complete one, source of all change,
Ra-Hoor, life and soul of every being there is.
The Father & Mother of all things
Breathes out Shu as the wind, and Tefnut as rain from the Mouth;
The name of Shu is the Ka of Life, of Tefnut is Truth of Maat.
Their embrace can never be broken.
They are the Moon and Sun.
The Father & Mother of all things
Makes Geb the Earth and Nuit the Sky,
Splits them apart, tears them asunder
Yearning to unite, striving for love
Creating the worlds and the million stars.
The Father & Mother of all things
Births the two brothers Osiris and Set,
Births the two sisters Isis and Nephthys,
Brings life and death into play,
Time and space into joy.
She is the Great Enchantress who births all things,
The Mother of waters and stars and time,
Of trees and birds and beasts and fish,
Of strong metals and precious gems,
Of rivers that flow to the ocean’s source.
Hathor, lady of all life,
Sekhmet, the powerful one,
Neith, mysterious creator,
Bastet. the beautiful one,
Isis the Mother, great in magick.
Man, Woman and Child are born from the tears of the gods:
tears of joy and sorrow,
tears of wrath & forgiveness,
tears of loneliness from a Single Eye:
Mirrored in falling tears the multitudes come to be.
