MODERN MAGE THELEMICAL

Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan                Words by Nema



I am the very model of a modern mage Thelemical,
I’ve information sigilistic, Tantric, and Alchemical,
I know the famous mages, both the mythic and historical,
And keep them on the Tree of Life in order categorical.

I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters Astrological,
I understand philosophy, mundane and cosmological,
Of Tarot’s Fool, I know that he will tell you any joke he can
But you can only get the point if you can speak Enochian.

(chorus: last line x 3)

I’m very good at banishment, and godforms invocational,
And raising power with my stride so circumambulational.
In short, in matters sigilistic, Tantric, and Alchemical,
I am the very model of a modern mage Thelemical.

(chorus: last 2 lines)

I know our Magick history of deMolay and Parsifal,
The Autohagiography is what I study most of all.
I’m good at Tarot and I Ching and all ways divinational,
Like rolling dice or cowrie shells and other means irrational.

I seek and court my HGA with words so invocational
I only hope when he shows up he’s feeling conversational.
I read Egyptian hieroglyphs and tablets with cuneiform
I’m more aware of rank and grade than anyone in uniform.

(chorus: last line x 3)

I want to worship BABALON, so sexy and so kissable
If she’ll just let me kiss her whip, not rule me inadmissible.
In short, in matters sigilistic, Tantric, and alchemical,
I am the very model of a modern mage Thelemical.

(chorus: last 2 lines)
