came.
But some there were who remained,
hidden in spaces and planes unknown
to man.
Lived they in Atlantis as shadows,
but at times they appeared among
men.
Aye, when the blood was offered,
for they came they to dwell among
men.
In the form of man they amongst us,
but only to sight were they as are men.
Serpent-headed when the glamour
was lifted
but appearing to man as men among
men.
Crept they into the Councils,
taking forms that were like unto men.
Slaying by their arts
the chiefs of the kingdoms,
taking their form and ruling o'er man.
Only by magic could they be
discovered.
Only by sound could their faces be
seen.
Sought they from the Kingdom of
shadows
to destroy man and rule in his place.
But, know ye, the Masters were mighty
in magic,
able to lift the Veil from the face of the
serpent,
able to send him back to his place.
Came they to man and taught him the
secret,
the WORD that only a man can
pronounce.
Swift then they lifted the Veil from the
serpent
and cast him forth from the place
among men.

Yet, beware, the serpent still liveth
in a place that is open at times to the
world.
Unseen they walk among thee
in places where the rites have been
said.
Again as time passes onward
shall they take the semblance of men.
Called may they be by the master
who knows the white or the black,
but only the white master may control
and bind them while in the flesh.
Seek not the kingdom of shadows,
for evil will surely appear.
For only the master of brightness
shall conquer the shadow of fear.
Know ye, O my brother,
that fear is an obstacle great.
Be master of all in the brightness,
the shadow will soon disappear.
Hear ye and heed my wisdom,
the voice of LIGHT is clear.
Seek not the valley of shadow,
and LIGHT will only appear.
