The Task from Her Lord and Consort, the
Omnipresent Hadit.
Behold! The rituals of the old time are black.
Let the evil ones be cast away let the good ones
be purged by the prophet! Then shall this
knowledge go aright. I am the flame that burns in
every heart of man and in the core of every star.
I am Life, and the giver of Life I am the Snake
that giveth Knowledge Delight and bright
glory , and stir the hearts of men with
drunkenness. To worship me take wine strange
drugs whereof I will tell my prophet and be drunk
thereof! They shall not harm ye at all But
remember, o chosen one, to be me to follow the
love of Nu in the star-lit heaven to look forth
upon men, to tell them this glad word.

Vengeance Worship me with fire and
bloodwith swords and spearsLet the woman be
girt with a sword before me Fear not at allNu
is your refuge as Hadit your light and I am the
strength, force, vigour of your arms. Unity
uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy
breath, Supreme and terrible God, Who makest
the gods and death To tremble before Thee-
I, I adore thee!
