Orphic Hymn to the Guardian Genius Thee, mighty-ruling, Genius great, I call, Mild Jove/Juno, life-giving, and the source of all: Great Jove/Juno, much-wandering, terrible and strong, to whom revenge and tortures dire belong. Mankind from thee, in plenteous wealth abound, when in their dwellings joyful thou art found; or pass through life afflicted and distressed, the needful means of bliss by thee supressed. Tis thine alone endured with boundless might, to keep the keys of sorrow and delight. Oh holy, blessed parent, hear my prayer, disperse the seeds of life-consuming care, with favoring mind their sacred rites attend, and grant my days a glorious, blessed end. The Art and Practice of Geomancy by John Michael Greer Portrait of the Artist with his Demon by Alberto Abate
