De Dea Magisterium


iconBook I - Genesis

Chapter 1

1Before man walked the Earth and gods shaped mankind,
2Before planets and stars and all races of higher beings,
3Nothing existed, than the idea of existence.,
4A dream, so delicate but one thought, one memory lost might render it void.
5A universe so vast, no immortal living being may cross its span.
6A journey without end.
7Whether awake or asleep, Awareness never dies.
8That we are one and many is the eternal paradox.
9That we are both ignorant and wise is a unique mystery.
10How then the human race came to possess a gift of such value and immeasurable power,
11That few but the gods of ancient times hold, is to the heart of our story.
12How then humans came to forget this treasure is why there is much to be told;
13Of what all men have forgotten.
14For even gods may forget, from which we first came
15Our first names, the vessels of our first form
16Yet nothing is lost upon awakening.
