A TREE UPROOTED BY JEALOSY By Jacob Hey

“That he or she may come to me, Hathor guide the way.”

I said as I tied the first knot

“That he or she may see and like me as I am, Hathor guide the way.”

I said as I tied the second.

“That he or she may be kind and gentle in word and action, Hathor guide the way.”

I said, tying the third.

“May he or she grow to love me more each day, Hathor guide the way.”

Tying the fourth tightly.

“May he or she be faithful and never give me cause to doubt, Hathor guide the way.”

as I tied the fifth.

“May our love grow deeper with the years, Hathor guide the way.”

the sixth tied tight.

May there always be unity through bad times as well as good, so long as the water flows and the sun shines, Hathor guide the way.”

The seventh know was tied.

I left the incense to burn and untied the knots 

One by one, day after day

In accordance with ancient tradition

Reciting the chants for each knot

one by one, day after day.

On the seventh day I buried them beneath 

the Magnolia tree in our front yard.

as I recall, the tree was in full blossom

brimming with light and life

I prayed to the lord and lady to free me from my desolate isle

and then I saw her

distant at first,

but our paths drew nearer

when I looked upon her my breath would cease

and I would look away again

we began to exchange thoughts

and a kiss that I wished would last a lifetime

as we parted ways I feared our paths would never again cross

but I wrote to her just the same

trying to express to her

what sort of being that I am

We met at a theater

and began to see each other often

She seemed to encapsulate all of the qualities I had ever looked for

in another human being

I would take her to all my old haunts

and in return she would grace me with her lovely presence

It was a lovely tree that we began to tend

It was all i ever wanted

but the old, sickly tree lingered

that tree that I tried so hard to kill was revived

and when she saw the tree that we began to tend

the stench of anger and jealousy 

filled the air

the air of the sickly tree that in years passed

I had tried so hard to tend to

the tree that wanted my soul

the tree that tried to devour me

the tree that refused to let go.

I tried my best to ignore it

and go on about my days

our newfound love was rapturous and ecstatic

While remaining gentle and cool

like a pond with all the spirit of the ocean

Looking upon her is like staring at the sun

so bright and so fair

I have to look away

for fear of going blind

from her fair effervescent flame

I tried my best to bring her beauty and joy

and things to keep her light aflame

but as I tended to our newborn tree

the old tree fed upon it

and began to kindle her flame anew

but this trees flame was not one of rapture and of joy,

but of lust, hate and pain

I tried to put it out, 

but all in vein.

and as I did, the tree withered and half dead

ensnared my soul

and drew me in

and spat me back

taunting me

with her cruel laugh

leaving me, bleeding

on the shore against the stone

craving love

and all alone

yet still I retain my compassion

for that withered and ugly tree

lost in darkness and craving to be free

but I will no longer tend to her

for she has taken away from me

the fair lady who returned me my sanity

I must press on

from this dark, lost space

in the hopes that this emptiness in my heart 

will be replaced

the emptiness left from that uprooted tree

so young

tended to only for less than a year

so fair

the presence of the lord and lady was always near

I will always thank you Hathor,

for granting me that wish

If not for Seteck I am sure

that our tree would have blossomed beautifully

bearing amazing fruit

but even though uprooted by the old tree’s jealousy 

I will always remember our infant tree

and all the blessings she left for me.

A Proposal For An All New Ten Commandments

HFS, yeah the old ones lost their magick so I thought I’d give you all some new ones, charged with the force and power of the Aeon of Horus … ISN 666

#1 “If you cannot respect the rights of others than you yourself shall be denied your rights.”

#2 “Shun all forms of social status and classes, these are mere illusions that attempt to justify ignoring the needs of society.”

#3 “If you make children, you are responsible for their health, education and happiness. If you take a person into your household or join a person in their household that has children of their own you are to accept full responsibility of their care as if they were your own.”

#4 “When you view someone as a burden to society, know this line of thinking is a much worse burden and more detrimental to society than poverty.”

#5 “When your religion, belief, ideology or personal opinion justifies violating the rights of others, know you are an enemy to the cooperative.”

#6 “Live a full and happy life, shun rewards and promises of heaven. Be sincere in you words, deeds and love. Make every day of your life the paradise you seek”.

‎#7 “Do not lose your individuality to fads and peer pressure. Your uniqueness is your contribution to society.”

#8 “Defend yourselves and your domains, but leave justice and punishment to the cooperative for none of us alone are God but all of us together are.”

#9 ” If you cannot gaze upon the masses with civility then lower your gaze.”

#10 “Abide by these ten commandments and in so doing. Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law. Love is the law, love under will.”
