Veil of Light


The Great Mother Divine Feminine, Isis The Goddess is Veiled. For so many reasons that she's veiled, one of them is that it protects against the the shock of the Great mystery.

"For her secret is only accessible to people who have become mature through mystical contemplation or other exercises. That whoever penetrates without permission becomes an animal"

Her veil of light conceals her secret and denies a glimpse of her to everyone who is not worthy of this initiation.
Her veil conceals the Great Mystery which remains eternally sealed to the exploring, penetrating, and perceiving consciousness (masculine), and the truth of which can only be revealed through a mystic display of grace.


The following is a sentence read at the foot of Isis statue in Sais:
" I am that everything that was, that is, that will ever be. No mortal will ever be able to discover what that lies beneath my veil"


In thoth tarot card Priestess, she is the Eternal Virgin who is pure;

She is clothed only in luminous veil of light
It is important for high initiation to regard Light not as the perfect
manifestation of the Eternal Spirit,
but rather as the veil which hides the spirit

Thus she is light and the body of light.
She is truth behind the veil of light
She is the soul of light
She is the idea behind all form...

-Aleister Crowley
