It Is An Ancient Truth That All Things Contain The Seed Of Their Opposites, And Thus It Is That Hidden

“It is an ancient truth that all things contain the seed of their opposites, and thus it is that hidden deep within the limitless abyss of the Negative Existence is the Positive. This is echoed in the ancient British belief that stands in stark contrast to the modern conception of blackness as a stagnant state of finality, rather darkness was considered as a fertile seed-bed whose loam would give rise to Light. It was this belief that darkness begets light that led our ancestors to begin their day at twilight and their year with the dark period, winter preceding summer. In the same way alchemists considered nigredo (the ‘black chaos’) essential to the operation, because Nature can only restore itself after first dying away, this being symbolised by the black crow perched atop the caput mortuum at the start of the journey.”

"Nature teaches equal significance of all things: the blade of grass, the dead God or alive sow, all are of the same earthly worth. Of supernal value is your service of remaking self in unlikenesses of yourself.”

- Austin Osman Spare, The Logomachy of Zos, aphorism 178

"As to the roaming of sages, They move in utter emptiness, Let their minds meander in the great nothingness; They run beyond convention And go through where there is no gateway. They listen to the soundless And look at the formless, They are not constrained by society. And not bound to its custom."

- Lao-Tzu
