Holy art thou, O more beautiful than all the stars of the Night! There has never been such peace, such silence. But these are positive things. Singing praises of things eternal amid the…

And that is external religion; but Cain spake not with God, nor had the mark of initiation upon his brow, so that he was shunned of all men, until he had shed blood.

In the middle of the card stands Cain; in his right hand is the Hammer of Thor with which he hath slain his …
