CAPRICORN I am Capricorn, a builder of temples. I build so that the spirit can be contained and held. Inside my temples there is darkness and silence; but those that enter bring their own light. Sometimes I am full of light, sometimes I am dim and dark, but ever my great Arches and pillars ascend to the skies.
I am trees and all columns, all that in nature that encloses for worship. Caves in the mountains and under the seas, for there also I dwell with those of my people, for I am of two worlds and can live in both elements.
I have been pictured with legs and a tail. I can climb and I swim. Pale colours I love, and dim, these are for quiet meditation. I am stone and hardness.
Evil I can contain as well as good. I am for worship and quietness. Should strife arise in my temples then the walls echo the voices and my ornaments are shaken.
A gateway is my entrance and there Saturn stands in his dark robe, veiled so that none shall see his face, for his face is too bright for mortal eye, and so many say he is evil, but he is a great one among the gods, for his sickle cuts the soul from the body. Resist, and pain and anguish is felt; embrace him and you are free, for great love has he for all humanity.
Come to my temple and pray in silence, darkness and solitude. Lean your head on the cold stone and you will receive life and wisdom.
