Law
| spirit card 11 ‘

I am the one who is called justice

and I am gross iniquity

goddess Kore

granite soul deity

Balances her sword

Unseen

the 13 dismembered eyes

Witness her

silence     authority

You have judged

yourself wrongly

in a false moment

That resolve

will now live.

Erozolie | six of water

The face of the sun

Reflects to the face of

The moon in the

Hidden oasis

of the intersex

chakravum

Waves radiate between

earth air fire

water

the spirit abides

Dvlie | spirit card 15

I am the slave of him who prepareth me’

On papyrus Gnostic text

Squat flush dervish is

In a severed firmament

The wings erect

The tongue livid

The penis recoiled

The nipples oozing

It holds two lifeless voodoo dolls

Transformed from wasted

Souls of the doomed

The talisman

Holds mutilated dolls

shadows putrid sepulchers

May or may not return

To life
