An Ablution For The New Year

New time demands new spirit; this purification is required: prepare a basin of snow, or of clear water iced, and scatter over it earth dried in the sun to a fine dust. The hands should then be immersed and chilled, the brow annointed and cooled, and these words said:

Substance wasted,

substance spoiled,

now be redeemed:

seeing thyself in substance undefiled,

forming thyself anew

from this frail substance

gathered and revived.

Thus should it be done at morning, and again at evening: to charge the original chaste intellect, the innocent purpose failed.
