It reads:
* CRYSTAL *
The Mind of Man doth
speak a tongue all its own,
beyond all language and all
words...
So too, doth the mind live in
meanings and symbols,
comprised of transient
glimpses which signify its
ephemeral understanding...
As likened unto the crystal
orbs of old mystics, piercing
the veils of the unknown as
a channel for hidden
knowledge, likewise the mind
makes crystal its symbols,
that from this may be
wrested forth the
perceptions of the man...
The Dragon for "D", the
first of a word, and Obelisk
for "O", that which should
follow...
The Moon stands for "M",
and Island for "I", which is
marked by the sign of the
Cross...
The Nether and Night, the
realms of the dark, reveal
the letter of "N" behind
Death...
And as the Star signs for
Astral, let this be the "A",
and lastly the Egg which is
"E"...
Thus may thee glimpse one
meaning of the crystal,
which lies branched among
many thousands of
combinations...
Thus may thee glimpse one
meaning of life, which lies
branched among many
thousands of dimensions...
