The Aeon Poems Page,

by J. W. Cassandra

The page The Aeon Poems features three poems.

The first is one of my earliest poems, which is included in the cycle of my first volume, "Eternity Awaken into Self-Consciousness", entitled "The Stations of the Spirit". So it cannot really belong to the Novelties menu.

The other one I wrote on 18 May 2026, at night, and I translated it into English the next day.

And I place here the third one as my latest work: it will be in the middle, according to the requirements of the editing.

The subtitles refer to the transcendent: the first poem I wrote forty-five years ago is Descent. The second poem is the Middle and the third is the Ascent.

The first and the second poems follow each other forty-five years apart, yet they belong closely together. The structure and theme of the poem are the connecting link. Since the two together are like Siamese twins, I inserted the older one here to allow for an accurate interpretation.

The title of the page refers to the Gnostic and Hermetic teachings, and I will illustrate it with an illustration referring to this. The first and the third poems can also be interpreted as the Epochal Being or Aeon in his humanity and the Epochal Being or Aeon as an omnipotent cosmic being. And the poem placed in the middle is a large-scale religious philosophy, which in a figurative sense is the axis of transformation, i.e., the Middle, which leads to "The Aeon", which expands the transformation into the cosmic.
