My excuse has been that they have already got the matches, that my explanations have been directed to add conscious precautions to the existing automatic safeguards. — Aleister Crowley

Coffined thoughts around me, in mummycases, embalmed in spice of words. Thoth, god of libraries, a birdgod, moonycrowned. And I heard the voice of that Egyptian highpriest.

Still: but an itch of death is in them, to tell me in my ear a maudlin tale, urge me to wreak their will. — James Joyce

According to Thoth, because of the placement of the Great Pyramid on the Earth connecting into the Earth's huge geometrical field - specifically the octahedral field of the Earth, which is equivalent to our own fields - and because of the pyramid's mass and the geometries used in it, the white-light energy field spirals upward and becomes extremely strong, stretching all the way out to the center of the galaxy.

In this way the Great Pyramid connects the center of the Earth to the center of our galaxy. — Drunvalo Melchizedek
