As it happens on Fridays, as soon the sun shines, it pours, that's the way, Venus changes at her will the hearts of her servants. Changing is her day (that it is rarely the same every week) y changing are the Goddess dispositions
It is very beautiful, and this is a poor translation from Spanish to English. I'd really appreciate the original text. I'll be looking for it.
I love the idea that each day of the week is assigned to a God, in Spanish, Friday is Viernes, so.. Viernes is for Venus :)
The book is full of symbolism, and there are three deep prayers andt I'd really like to analyze, the structure of the prayer.
I'll just leave the quotes that I bookmarked and that I enjoyed the most (the ones I couldn't help noticing a certain.. I don't know, let's say "Hermetic" smell )
(while praying to Goddess Diana) So, my lady, for the three shapes that you contain...Pretty self explanatory, right
(Saturn talking to Venus) Because it is me who makes the vengeance and complete punishes while I am at Leo's sign (...) I killed Samsom when he took the columnsThis one was very interesting.. So God Saturn is present even in a Biblical event...
I also found fascinating that, even when prayers, temples and holocaust were offered to Greek Goddesses, there was a constant references to God, an unique God, made of nature.
Having in mind that those are tales written by 1370, it is very interesting to see the how the pagan view of the Divinity coexisted in a very natural way with the Hebrew idea of an unique God.
