Posting this again because it is excellent.
Also, I may be talking out my ass here, but I personally believe borrowing ideas from other authors is a form of praise. I could be totally wrong about this, but my ego sees shades of The Babalon Current in Modern Magick.
Or, it could be I stole so much from Peter Grey to begin with.

#explore Her
… she is said to be the ” Queen of the Stars and the Orion Empire”, “Queen of the Universe.” In fact, Bhuvaneshvari means the Queen or the Ruler of the Universe. She is the Divine Mother and the Queen of all the Worlds. She is also known as the Lady of the Universe, Adi Shakti or Durga. She’s the “unstoppable,” and if She really wants to do something, it gets done.
#explore You.
Osiris – He’s usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. Traditionally depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh’s beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail.
Never has there been, nor shall there be a king more perfect than Osiris. Son of the Earth God, Geb, Osiris was divine royalty by birth, and all the land his birthright. Benevolence and prosperity were the hallmarks of his reign. Would that he had been left to shape the world, but the jealousy of his brother, Set, changed the course of fate.
The cult of Osiris (who was a god chiefly of regeneration and rebirth) had a particularly strong interest in the concept of immortality. Plutarch recounts one version of the myth in which Set (Osiris’ brother), along with the Queen of Ethiopia, conspired with 72 accomplices to plot the assassination of Osiris. Set fooled Osiris into getting into a box, which Set then shut, sealed with lead, and threw into the Nile. Osiris’ wife, Isis, searched for his remains until she finally found him embedded in a tamarind tree trunk, which was holding up the roof of a palace in Byblos on the Phoenician coast. She managed to remove the coffin and open it, but Osiris was already dead.
There are many stories of this altercation. Another: seeking to usurp the throne, Set deceived and murdered his brother, tearing his body to pieces and casting them across the land. Isis, Osiris’ wife, secretly fled while Set plunged the kingdom into darkness. For years she toiled to reassemble her husband while his spirit form, his Ba, endured. Yet for all her searching, she could not find every part of him, and Isis was forced to reanimate Osiris without. Though not strong enough to defy Set in this incomplete form, Osiris gave Isis a son that would topple the tyrant Set and restore balance to Egypt.
What remains of Osiris is a fragment of what he once was. Robbed of his crown over the earth, he now governs the realm of the dead with the same benevolence he ruled the living.
There is a divine power that from hour to hour and from second to second seeks to descend into us, to dwell among us, in order to attune the earth and its inhabitants with the harmony of the spheres and to raise and urge them to the fulfillment of their destiny as children of the Father. This divine power is not able to do these things without your knowledge. It has to flow through you and cause you to awaken as consciously co-operating participants in the unfoldment of all Creation. That is why someone once said: ‘God’s creation lies sunken in man. We are parts of His creation, little cogs in the great wheel of the realization of the All. That is why His unfoldment, the crowning of His creation, is dependent on the conscious co-operation, the conscious devotion of human heads, human hearts and human hands’.
